Create unique resin crafts in minutes – no mixing, no measuring, no mess!
Want a fun new resin hobby that gives beautiful, bubble-free results fast? TotalBoat UV Cure Clear Resin cures in minutes and is a must for your DIY resin jewelry-making projects, fly-tying supplies, and other small resin crafts. Simply pour the resin into your prepared molds and expose them to UV light for a few minutes. It’ll cure clear, hard, and very durable – no yellowing, warping, or shrinking when you pop it out of the resin mold. Besides castings, UV Cure Clear Resin is also great as a protective sealer on resin jewelry pieces and decorative items made with shrink plastic.
It’s easy to add color, embellishments, and encapsulations.
The creative possibilities are endless! No need to invest in colored UV resins – simply add a little mica powder, alcohol ink, or other resin colorant to the resin before pouring. For a truly one-of-a-kind creation, add small objects, such as beads, crystals, or glitter. The key is to remember that you want to seal any porous objects with resin before encapsulating, to prevent air bubbles from forming in your finished piece.
