This will definitely help in future 😊

@alexanderholden82 Жыл бұрын

Their original formula does not have much of a smell, but I recently tested out the low viscosity formula and it indeed does have a smell to it that is different than their original, and also it was not as low viscosity as I would have thought... it was more of a medium viscosity... I also experienced a bit of yellowing after a two-minute cure on a test piece which went into my window and was significantly more yellow after only 30 days... I have test pieces from my resin that I typically use that is a year old now and still crystal clear, so I wasn't significantly happy with J dictions low viscosity formula it seems the formulation is different somehow.

Thank you for showing this. I didn't even realize that they had so many UV resins. I just got some labeled "ECO" from Amazon and I'm loving it. It is the lowest odor UV resin I've tried, and it cures so fast and hard! But it's a little thin, so I will look for the high viscosity one, too.

BUDGET FRIENDLY IDEA!!⭐️⭐️⭐️ If anyone else has a small budget like me, when I want a holographic background in my work, I bought a cheap holo party table cover (table cloth?) and have used it for the background of my pop socket phone grips and cutting up little pieces for holo chunky glitter! It works AMAZING, and you get a huge piece for under $5.00 that will last forever! I haven’t tried it with epoxy resin yet, but it works great with my UV resin! And if you want other colors of chunky glitter, just get another color of table cloth from the party decoration section! HAVE FUN STAYING CRAFTY ON A BUDGET! 🌸✌🏼😊

You came across my resin channels today! I have the same little UV light. They're cheap, get a new one before you hurt yourself lol jk. Question, I've been doing resin for 2 years on and off to start a small business and compile enough for a start up. No matter what mold I use, the resin is foggy on the underside (mold side) and I haven't gotten the right buffing tool yet for polishing. I really don't want to blame it on the resin as I'm using a super spendy one (not promoting but you can find it by initials TB) and follow another channel who never seems to have any problems with it. I stir it enough, cure it the right amount, not too hot or cold, no bubbles. 😭 New subscriber here. 😊

Try a 36 watt nail lamp, not a 9 watt LED lamp, they say there's no difference, but I believe there is - and don't forget, sometimes you need to turn the item over and cure from the back and also, UV likes to cure in thin layers, try more thin layers instead of one thick layer. Also, room temp, UV likes it warm like at least 74-75 degrees. Best of Luck.

@JDictionResin Жыл бұрын

If you have two UV resins, neither of them can be cured. It may be that the wavelength of your UV lamp is not enough, resulting in lacking energy for it to cure. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our after-sales mailbox, customer support will give you an effective solution.

unfortunately I’m not Steve lol but I will say the curing time is all about how easy it is for the UV light to reach through the piece.

Was looking for some advice, and if my art project gives you idea's for content or things to sale, fantastic. I was using one of those square something like 8 inches, where i do art projects, its not safe to use normal resin (its a work shop, others are there for different lengths of time), so i am using uv, i just did a light tint of blue acrylic transparent paint, i don't want a thick piece (yet), so i put under the lamp, besides warping (thats simple fix, heat weight it down, wait fix), but it stuck to the mold on one side, and pitted and did some other things on the top, was thinking to sand it down, but was hoping you might have a video on how to not have this happen. and or fix this so both sides are shiny. i plan taping the edges just a mm ( the edge is so i can attach to a frame after.), or so, with tape, spay mirror effect spray paint on one side, and using your tip on putting uv resin in a needle bottle, and doing a darker shade of the tint, I am then filling in with different shade of complementary colors. Another project is similar just doing a layered picture, layers of uv resin, and still the mirror effect spray paint on back, either way, both sides need to be nice and shiny. Thank you, and i understand if me asking for help like this is a bit much.

I used the low viscosity to shine up a 3d print and bring out the shine as you did with the block. But after curing for 2 minutes it was tacky still so I tried curing for an additional 2 min. Still tacky. Any idea what could have happened. I also only did a light brush on. I did not lay it thick.
