Never getting this doming resin again. My pieces still stink two weeks later, and the surface is still slightly tacky. The smell is intolerable for pieces I had planned to sell and so is the sticking. What a waste of time, money, and resin art.
Hi Rachel, I'm sorry to read that your experience with the crystal doming resin wasn't worthy of 5 stars. We understand that people are sensitive to different odors and are sorry to hear the smells of this resin were bothersome to you. We always recommend good ventilation when using any of our resins and that may help you as well with using the crystal doming resin. I have a video on our youtube channel that shows how I make sure to have enough room ventilation when I'm working with resin. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/DGID4-gTy-o As for sticky resin, that's an easier fix. The great majority of the time it comes either from inaccurate measuring or incomplete mixing. This article explains how it happens and what you can do to fix it: https://www.resinobsession.com/resin-frequently-asked-questions/why-is-my-resin-sticky/ I'm going to reach out to you personally to make sure you have these resources and offer additional help to get you to resin pro status!
and I finally found it! Can't wait to try it!
I don't know if my picture came through earlier, but this is a recent project I've been working on with the doming resin.
I have worked with ice resin (also a doming resin) for a few years. I stopped buying it because after a reliable supplier went out of business, it became very difficult to get a batch that had not started to yellow. Since I sell my jewelry, I am very particular about what I use. After hours of research which included comparing resins by an independent lab, I decided to try Resin Obsession's doming resin. It came nearly colorless, what you should expect and the shipping was quick. However, I was surprised by how much they charged to ship. Again, I've been buying resin for years, and never have I paid these high shipping fees. I have worked with the resin twice now. It is a little thicker than Ice Resin and therefore bubbles don't want to pop as readily. All of my pieces have turned out bubble free, BUT I definitely need to fuss with it longer and therefore I probably will waste more resin as this cuts into my working time after I mix a batch. My second experience using it was better than my first. So I am hopeful that I will like this resin more once I get used to it. It does create crystal clear and eventually bubble free pieces that should wear nicely with time due to the UV stabilizer in Resin Obsession's resin. Lastly, the smell is just awful. It smells like Ice Resin, but even stronger. So...yes, I'll be working in my art studio with the windows open and the heater cranked in the middle of winter.
Hi Shannon, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insight. I can tell you put a lot of time into your review to help other resin creators. That means a lot to us! I wanted to address a few of the comments in your review to help you with using the resin in the future: 1. We can't disagree with you on shipping costs. Because the resin is considered hazardous for shipping we cannot ship it through the postal service which is less expensive than UPS. We do offer free shipping on orders of $75 or more going to U.S. addresses to help save you on delivery charges. 2. As you found out, the resin mixes thick, which makes it more likely to hold onto bubbles. Warming the resin kit in a hot water bath five minutes before using, plus applying the resin in layers no more than 1/8 inch thick will make it easier for bubbles to release. 3. I'm sorry to read the smell bothers you. It is rather strange how some people are bothered by it while some customers don't notice it at all. You're definitely taking the right approach though by having fresh air circulate in the room. It's something we recommend when working with any resin, whether you notice an odor or not. Thanks again Shannon for sharing your helpful comments. It's customers like you that help us get better!
Love this resin! Used it in tiny bezels to coat my original artwork. Turned out exactly how I had hoped-smooth, crystal clear, glass-like finish.
