JDiction UV Resin, High Gloss 300g UV Resin Clear Solar Cure Sunlight Activated Glue Hard UV Resin Kit for Jewelry Making, Casting and Coating, DIY Crafts, Resin Art Supplies

This product is so ridiculously thick it is almost impossible to use. Tons of bubbles that must be constantly popped and just inconvenient to mix with colors or dome with. I seriously regret this purchase and wish I had opened it before my return window closed. I love Jdiction resins, but this product is beyond terrible. If you like working with resin that has the consistency of cooling hot glue, this is the resin for you.Dec 15,2023 Update: While I can't say anything better about the product, I give high marks to JDiction for reaching out to me based on this review of their own accord and starting the process to try to make this right. I doubt I would ever try this particular part of the UV line again, if it ever came back, but I will definitely keep buying their other products as they have all performed excellently and their customer service has been amazing.

Updated review, seller contacted me was a old batch I had received they sent out a new no charge replacement which was much better qualityIt’s very thick much thicker then any other uv resin I have used, no matter how long it’s under a light for even the thinnest layers won’t cure fully and just stay tacky and end up lifting up if you try to coat anything with it

I am very disappointed in this High Gloss UV resin. All I use is JDiction and have never had a problem before but I can't get this to cure. I left it under the light that I use to cure all my other uv resin for 30 minutes and it was still very tacky. I tried the water cure thing as it made no difference. The only way I can get it to harden up is to put a coat of one of their other resins on top. Kinda defeats the purpose of the high gloss resin. And it's still a little spongy after that, only hard on the surface. I see other recent buyers are having this same problem so I'm hoping it's a bad batch.(EDIT) I tried a stronger light and it worked...YAY!!!!

Okay, so I was looking for a higher viscosity UV resin when I bought this, but this is insane. It's hard to even squeeze out of the bottle, no kidding, it takes some serious effort! Trying to mix anything in, well, I've had some trouble with bubbles getting added and not wanting to come out (because it's insanely thick), and whether you're squeezing it out or you're touching it with a tool, prepare for some serious stringy action, like you're pulling cartoon cheese. It makes it quite hard to work with, if you ask me. In fact, I found that another brand's "High Viscosity" resin was THINNER than this, by a good bit - but thick enough for my purposes.It does cure up nice and shiny... but I notice it also yellows when it does. I'm not at all sure if I just somehow got a bad batch, because honestly, it seems like the properties of this resin are just generally undesirable, and it just doesn't measure up to the quality of say, the normal JDiction UV resin, which I've used. I'm just not sure why it has to be quite this thick, a thick UV resin could definitely stand to be thinner than this.. I'm not even sure that resin thickened with PVA glue gets quite this goopy, or at least, none of mine ever has. The stringy-ness of it really makes it hard to keep things tidy without trailing bits around, and then, again... you have the slight, but definitely noticeable yellowing when it cures.It should also be noted that I find it odd and frustrating that UV resins, across all brands I've used, seem to be allergic to giving you critical information - what wavelength of light they want to cure properly. Don't they want you to succeed with their product? How can we all do this right if they don't tell us what wavelength it's designed to cure at?? This resin DID NOT CURE FULLY under my dual wavelength LED UV cure lamp, which cures just about anything else, with varying cure times. It does halfway decently under the fluorescent UV lamp I have, though I don't know what wavelength that is (the dual is, if I recall correctly, 365 and 385nm), but it needs some extra time under there... at least it does cure fully, though. I happen to have a UV laser pen, and that is labeled with its wavelength, it's 405nm, and THAT seems to be the ticket, so if you're struggling to cure this properly under the more common high-300s lamps, it liked 405nm much better for me.I'm not sure if I'd give this another try, to be honest. Sure, you get 3 bottles for your money, but it's a huge pain in the butt to work with. I feel like surely, there's some application for this, but I haven't figured out what to do with it yet, it doesn't work well for anything I've tried yet. It's just so picky, thick, loves to hold onto bubbles, does not love the same UV lamp that other resins do, it's messy with all the stringy pulling, and it yellows a bit just from curing, which I haven't seen in a UV resin in ages. (Some of the earlier ones did that, but none I've gotten in the last 3 years or so.) Did I just get a bad set? I don't know, but honestly, the normal UV resin by this same brand is one of the better ones I've tried, and it cures up nice and shiny, and much more easily, too, so I don't know that you NEED this one. If you want a high viscosity resin to dome with, I'd try another one... this one would sure hold a dome for you, yeah, but it's a little TOO thick... it might work for dipping things in, maybe, but it's just tricky to handle. Just not worth the hassle, which was not a pleasant surprise, I've liked several of the brand's other products, so I had some high hopes for this one.

Half the bottle was all dried up, too thick. So bad the refund window closed :(It was great at first but I couldn't finished the bottle.I'm a newbie resin diyer, JDiction uv resin is super easy to use, a little thicker than what I thought, it hardens super quickly with the JD uv lamp in 1 minute +-

I bought this in October and used the first bottle after about a month of receiving it. There were 2 other bottles in black containers, in a box, inside of another box I put them in to store, and in a room with no sunlight. Today being 6 months later, I opened a new bottle and it was gummy. I've had resin from other companies last 2 years without doing this. I'm super upset.Updated May 8: Customer service was quick to respond and prompt with replacing the product without hesitation. Sophie has been kind and very professional with this situation. Kudos to her and customer service with this company. They have been wonderful. I've always enjoyed this company and will of course continue service with them.

This is so thick the bubbles can’t even rise! It’s full of bubbles and extremely difficult to even squeeze through the nozzle! I can’t even use it. Waste of money! edit; thank you jdiction for reaching out

This stuff is thick, stringy, hard to work with, and does not dry clear. It is awful! Going back to my usual brand.Update: Changing from 1 star to 3 stars for great customer service. My product was subpar but the customer service was awesome. After writing my review, they contacted me with an apology and a refund.
