Panda Resin 64oz Epoxy Resin Kit - Crystal Clear, Non Yellowing for Coating & Casting

I chose this kit because I am an artist and have never used any type of epoxy or resin in my work. The box arrived within a shipping box and was undamaged. I also appreciated the strong tape sealing the Panda Resin box, for a bit of extra security. Upon opening the box, one of the "Parts" bottles had the cap off, but the plastic seal on the bottle neck was firm and no spills were there. So, it is mindfully packaged. No items missing. The directions are very clear and easy to look at, absorb, and understand. I will update my review accordingly if I encounter any issues with the quality or performance of this resin stuff--I am a beginner when it comes to this medium, so I need to spend a significant amount of time doing my own research and deciding what I want my first project to be. I will say that coating a 3D print from one of my besties may be at the top of the list. So I encourage the user to do their own research as to the proper application and project ideas for this stuff. Wear gloves, keep your pets away from (curious kitties take note) and I honestly suggest using in a well ventilated area--porch, outside, lots of windows etc -- until you personally experience how the odor affects you. It says "low odor" but everyone is different with senses!

came on time with everything it shows, and am impressed with the amount you get for the price. so many times I look at resin and the cost is well.. kinda crazy. this is very reasonable on price and comes with what you need, besides molds and creativity. tried a couple play around ideas and while it's still hardening, hasn't been very long, it looks to turn out amazing as long as you follow the instructions. definitely recommend if this is something you want to try out!

I don't plant on using this for a couple more months, but I have used this before and it's so much fun. I made a replica of my arms and hand giving the middle finger. It's cool nc it's my exact arm. But you can make so many more things too. Definitely check out the internet for cool ideas.

Glad this product was my first foray into resin. Easy to use, clear instruction, and no bubbles (but be careful how you mix-slow circles to keep the air out). For anyone interested in resin art, this is a solid product to try.

Great quality of the product. I used it to make a small table top. It looks great and easy to use. I would recommend it to family and friends.

Doesn't have a strong odor and it's very simple to use. Clarity is great and easy measurements with the little cups. Great for beginners

The Panda Resin kit includes two 100ml mixing cups, two 27.5ml mixing cups, four individually wrapped pairs of plastic gloves, 32 oz bottles each of resin base and epoxy, five stirring sticks and a detailed instruction leaflet. An item of note in the directions: Temperatures exceeding 120˚F can damage the surface of the resin. So if you're looking to make coasters to use beneath hot mugs of coffee or tea, this is probably not the product you want. My molds were pretreated with Castin' Craft mold release spray. I decided to test this product with silicone and plastic molds. Mixing the resin requires between three and five full minutes (set a timer!) of constant stirring. While mixing, you must avoid up %26 down "whipping" motion as you might do when beating eggs; those actions will incorporate air bubbles in the mix and possible cloudiness in the finished pour. I made the mistake of mixing a 100ml batch. This made it hard to do an accurate pour from the the bigger (and less flexible) mixing cup. If you can, try using the smaller cups, which you can squeeze (lightly) into a spout for easier pouring. It's not odorless, but the smell wasn't bad at all. This one only reached 86.4˚F. Subsequent checks showed the temperature dropping beyond that. Even though it doesn't seem to get as hot as other brands, still make sure you secure curious children and pets when working with these chemicals (duh). The cure times are listed as, your piece will be 95% cured in 24 hours, and fully ready for use in three full days/72 hours. The instructions don't recommend an ambient temperature to maintain throughout curing, but the room I work in ranges from 71 to 76˚F. (Recommended storage temperature of the two unmixed components is between 50 %26 77˚F.) I unmolded these castings at 36 hours. You can tell the edges had not yet trimmed and filed yet, and I hadn't yet washed off the mold-release spray residue from the surfaces yet, either. The image is merely to show how well this product takes up details. (Those "frosty" ones came from a firmer mold with a coarser texture than the flexible silicone ones.) This resin retained each mold's surface texture and detail beautifully, and they released easily from the treated molds. I noticed a few tiny bubbles in one of the thickest cabochons. But the doorbell rang during the stirring phase, so my effort to make up a few seconds of inactivity might have been overzealous enough to cause bubbling. I'm also including an image of how I used one of the castings. As they were colorless straight from the mold, I used burgundy nail polish on the back of an oval cabochon, then glued it onto a piece that I finished with clay moldings and paints. (I snapped this pic when the project was 85% done, before the paint touch-ups and finishing clearcoat.) I'm very happy with how this all turned out. And I would not hesitate to use Panda Resin for my castings or resin work in the future.

So far this has done its job %26 I haven't had any issues with bubbles or setting times. I do stir slow instead of semi fast to not create so many bubbles within my mixing so I don't have to wait quite as long for those bubbles to go away. The things included work fine, just wish it had some color options like the basic kits have or even some glitter/foil add ins %26 for sure bigger mixing cups/sizes. the ones that were included are very small. i do wish they had bigger size options since I use clear epoxy resin the most for projects so I'm hoping to get another epoxy resin kit soon. Overall, it's a great starter size especially for small dainty molds to do jewelry.

I purchased this as a beginner resin user, it was very easy to pour, and had good clarity.

Kit came with everything I need. Have not got the chance to use yet but impressed with it.
