She neglected to tell everyone that resins yellow over time, but UV resin yellows in days if in the sun, it yellows very quickly no matter what. Epoxy resin takes longer, a lot longer, but it lasts longer.

I did neglect to say that about Yellowing, I apologize for that. But in my experience I have never had UV resin yellow that quick at all. I haven’t seen yellowing in any of my jewelry that I have made and I have had most for over a year UV and Epoxy. And they are so not yellow

Great job! I like them both. I prefer the epoxy myself.

I agree they both have their place. For me, I live in a small space so I don’t have a large space for leaving out projects to cure for a day or two. I just have to stick to jewelry and use UV 99% of the time. My nose is pretty sensitive to the smell of a few uv resins but I have found a few that seem to not have a smell or it is very faint. Thanks for the review. Would love to know your epoxy brand of choice. A few I know of claim they are non-toxic or odor free. One I have used on the recommendation of a crafter who is safety conscious. I had no problem with it; however it wasn’t budget friendly.

So now I learn that most probably the reason why I get sticky output in some of my projects is because I didn't mix it right
@DezyJewelry2 ай бұрын
Yes that can totally be why your resin is so sticky after it was supposed to set.

First time watching you. I'm new to resin and tyvm for this information. I started just to see how I like using resin from Dollar Tree and I love it. I have one item I made and it's still very soft after a week.
@DezyJewelry13 күн бұрын
Welcome to the world of resin! So soft after a week: I assume epoxy. A couple of things. You didn't stir for the 3 to 5 minutes that it asks to stir. Or you didn't measure properly. If it is a 1:1 ratio then you need to have equal parts A and equal parts B. Those two things are super important. Here is a short I did talking about those two things! kzbin.info48IfxQeAjS0

I've been using epoxy two part for years and only just started the UV resin. The UV is great for small things and i'm using it more now because I have such a small space to work in and its a lot easier to keep all the flying cat and rabbit fur from getting into the project before it cures. But! I still prefer the two part cause its more versatile and you can do bigger projects with more colour. But yeah finding a safe space for it to cure in my tiny apartment can be a challenge. I would suggest if your in the same sort of boat to use UV cause you can cure and put away within an hour as opposed to having a dedicated space for the epoxy two part.

I bought some uv resin that came out with a cheap, lightweight plastic feel to it... blahh 😕 I don't have a limit on time or patience when it comes to what I'm making. Ive got all day everyday and an amazing amount of patience for everything! 😂 Can you tell me which type you would recommend (uv resin or epoxy resin) and/or brand to get that heavier, glass like feel to it when finished? I'm making little 2in pendants for keychains. Thank you for your time! I look forward to your tips, help and opinions!

When you cure the uv resin (the one you hold here), does it leave a thin layer of uncured resin that you need to wipe?

No it does not. You should not have to wipe any of it off.

Hi! I'm new and I haven't bought the items I need yet. Doing a bunch of research and I really think this video is worth the watch! I have a question- is it better to do projects outside or inside? The only area I have to use is by my cats litter box with no outlets in the room, plenty windows. I do have a pretty large outside area I plan to use during the summer. I'm worried about my cat mostly but I'm also worried about outdoor bugs or wind ruining the pieces :)) thank you
@DezyJewelry5 ай бұрын
Such great questions. A lot of people put a cover over it. Like a plastic bin or a box to keep out bugs and cats or other animals. Try to find something that will cover it but not touch the resin. If that makes sense. Temp needs to be 71-75 degrees f for resin. So you can do it outside if weather isn’t too cold. Too hot and it cures/drys faster which isn’t always a bad thing. Let me know if this helped.

They now have different machines & mats that will dry your epoxy in a fraction of time. A lot of epoxy users I’ve watched love these dryers. Also with epoxy you have to watch out for all the bubbles that you can create & pop them.
