UV Resin Kit with Lamp, Upgraded 200g Crystal Clear&Low Odor UV Resin, UV Light, Silicone Mat, Ultraviolet Epoxy Resin Hard, UV Glue Starter Kit for Jewelry, Craft Decor

Perfect starter kit with a good UV lamp and decent amount of resin. The little silicone jugs are a super little bonus - I doubt I'll need to use them for UV resin, but I'm already using them a lot for measuring and mixing small amounts of non-UV resin to make sure the quantities are close to equal. I don't make jewellery, but do a lot of what I call resin engineering where I make prototypes of various kinds, and a mostly use non-UV resin for that, sometimes with embedded reinforcement, but I often need to build moulds out of tape, thin strips or sheets of resin (made on a silicone mat) and superglue before filling them up with normal resin. I'm now using this UV resin instead of the tape and superglue, and it makes the work far neater, faster, orders of magnitude less prone to leaks, while there's no tape getting left behind my mistake being covered by subsequent layers. This resin only needs ten to twenty seconds of UV light to stop it running around, so it's rally practical for this work, and it also sets just as fast using a small UV torch that came with a different product. This has transformed the way I work, and just in the last few days it's saved me many hours of fighting leaks in moulds; indeed, it sets fast enough that a slow leak can be wiped clean and then a drop or UV resin put on it (even from below) and given a quick blast of UV light, and that's it sealed. Be aware if you're buying this kit that you may get a different lamp from the one you're expecting - if you read the small print when clicking through the images at the top you'll see the two different lamps, and you'll get one of those selected randomly, so it's intended as a surprise. I happened to get the one that suits my work better, but the other one would still have been fine. I'd also recommend wearing sunglasses with full UV protection when working with a UV light - I didn't do so to begin with, but felt an odd pain in one eye several times when running the lamp, and I never looked at any of the LEDs while they were lit, so it was just reflected UV light. I work all night and don't see a lot of daylight, so I may be more sensitive to this than normal people, and bright sky hurts my eyes too, but this isn't something you should take any chances with - I'm being extra cautious because my father has developed macular degeneration.

Great kit. Managed to successfully mend a filigree bracelet and earrings with this, without the need for very tricky soldering. Also a small drop to just help secure small chain rings, just in case they may open again. Even an earring post on the back of filigree earrings, yes there is big blob of resin at the back, but you can’t see it and so far so good and at least they can be worn again, will see how longevity goes :) For tricky work, may help to have another pair of hands or some blue tack or equivalent to hold item still, applied resin and quick cured with the UV pen from another small kit by them and then did a longer cure with the UV mini lamp in this kit :)

Overall, this is a good value kit as you get a lot in the pack. I normally use epoxy resin but at this time of year (January) it's difficult to work with as the house is cold, which makes the resin sluggish to pour and slow to cure. So, I thought I'd give UV resin a try and see if that improves things for some of my smaller makes. I chose this set because it includes a light, which I didn't already have. This is very useful, though very small - no use for larger moulds. While the resin is sticky if you get it on your hands, it's nowhere near as sticky as epoxy resin - a quick wash of my hands with soap afterwards did the trick. Something I hadn't considered until I read the instructions in the box is you are discouraged from mixing alcohol inks and mica powders directly into the resin, as this makes it harder for the light to pass through and cure the resin. What I had to do was pour and cure a very thin layer of resin, then brush it with mica powder and then pour and cure a second layer. I was thus able to achieve a coloured/glittery effect, though in my opinion not as nice as I would have achieved with epoxy with the colour mixed in. You can pour and cure thicker moulds (like the 'crystal ball' in my photos) - to achieve this, I filled the mould roughly halfway with the resin, cured it, tipped in a couple of scoops of glitter, then topped it up with resin and cured it again. For a mould this thick it took a lot of longer sessions under the lights before the resin fully cured. While UV resin is a lot faster to cure than epoxy, I am so far finding that its uses are more limited than they are with epoxy, unless you invest in some pre-coloured UV resin (and so far I've only found very few of these sold on Amazon). UV is certainly not going to replace epoxy for the majority of my projects, but for small things that would take a long time to cure with epoxy I will probably carry on with the UV resin. Worth noting as well that measured by the gram, if you use a decent brand such as Let's Resin, UV is about twice the price of epoxy so that's another reason not to fully switch! There is a smell to this resin which is not very pleasant, but it is resin after all so a smell is to be expected - it's no worse than epoxy for smell.

First time user ,and it does what it says ,great for crafters like me x

Really good kit with nice accessories

Its great stuff

Not really a starter kit as it has no mold to start with. The UV lamp is VERY small. The silicone mat is small (about A5 size) and was crushed up to get it in the tiny box and even after a week of it lying flat under a heavy book I was unable to get it to lay flat. However the silicone itself was not bad, prone to bubbles but nothing a long necked lighter couldn't deal with in the most part.

Pleasantly surprised. This gives excellent value for money and is perfect for small resin projects

This is my first time using UV resin and I love it! I followed the directions to a t and made this experiment pendant. I first did a small layer of resin and added gold leaf. Then I dried it for 2 minutes. Then I did another layer with glitter. Dried for 2 minutes and did one more layer of glitter and gold leaf just playing around. Dried perfect each time and I remembered to flip it over and dry that back too. It turned out beautiful and fully cured. There weren't many bubbles at all! It says to pour very close to the mold and I did that each time. I didn't need to warm the bottle in hot water. It's so easy! The resin does have a bit of an odor so I cracked a window open a tiny bit. This was a perfect starter kit and there is a lot of resin! The lamp works great! You can't charge it and have to plug it in to your own brick. The mat is great and so are the cups and stir sticks. It wasn't messy at all. I never got any on my fingers. I highly recommend this! I see people angry about the lamp being small but it works great so who cares. I actually like it small because I don't have much room on my desk. I'm excited to play around some more and I'll post more pictures later. It's so fun and easy and makes beautiful jewelry. I'll never use epoxy resin for jewelry again! Follow the simple directions and you will make great pieces.

Kit completo y fácil de usar, no tiene olor fuerte.

I'm in Australia and I don't know any affiliate here that distributes Let's Resin products. So in saying that, the processing and delivery was very quick from the U.S. to Australia, well before expected delivery date. The UV lamp is quite small but great for a beginner like me. It does what it's made for! No issues for me at all. Thanks Amazon, muchly appreciated.

Total süßes Set, und super um mit Resin zu beginnen. Beeinhaltet waren wie in der Beschreibung: zwei Tuben resin, eine Silikonunterlage, eine kleine UV Lampre (ca. Handteller groß) und zwei kleine Silikonschalen mit Spatel. Der Resin riecht natürlich ein wenig chemisch aber das ist zu erwarten. Ich finde der Geruch hält sich in Grenzen. Die Lampe kommt mit einem kleinen USBC Kabel mitgeliefert. Das Resin ist allerdings flüssiger als ich dachte, was allerdings eher an meiner unerfahrenheit mit Resin liegt. Getrocknet ist es gut fest (ich nutze es zur herstellung von Schmuck. z.B. zum Ösen an Anhänger zu kleben). Alles in allem eine Kaufempfehlung meinerseits
