This was my forst time using epoxy and have no other experience to compare it to. It was easy to use and came with everthing (besides the uv light and molds of course) that you need. Mixing cups, stirring paddle,gloves,apron. This was nice for a first timer like me. I had bought molds about 4 years ago and just got around to it. It appears to be clear and bubble free. It was easy to use. I made a pen for my husdand a d he took it to work before I took a picture. I used our dogs ashes in it. He loved it and thought it turned out really well. I would purchase again.
