Okay, let me tell you about this epoxy resin kit – it's been a total game-changer for my DIY projects. I've tried other brands before, but the Puduo one? It's like the difference between store-brand soda and the real deal.
First off, the clarity is insane. I made some ocean-themed jewelry last week (think tiny seahorses suspended in blue-tinted resin), and the results looked like actual glass. Zero yellow tint, even after curing – which is huge because my last project with another brand turned slightly amber after a month.
The 1:1 mixing ratio is foolproof. I use disposable pipettes for small batches (like when coating wooden rings – game changer from CA glue!) and plastic cups for bigger pours. Pro tip: mix slowly to avoid bubbles, but honestly, this resin is so bubble-resistant compared to others I've used. My first attempt had maybe three tiny bubbles in a whole coaster set – rookie mistake from over-mixing.
Working time is perfect – about 45 minutes before it starts getting thick. I did a bathroom vanity countertop refinish (scary first project!) and had just enough time to spread it evenly with a squeegee. The self-leveling property is magic; it fixed all my uneven brush strokes.
Only gripe? The included measuring cups arrived cracked (but I always have extras). And yeah, the 32oz total might feel small if you're doing large projects – I'm already eyeing their bigger size for my next river table attempt.
Final verdict? If you're into resin art at any level, this kit makes you look like a pro. My jewelry pieces now have that high-end glossy finish that actually lasts. Worth every penny.
