What is hard-type UV resin used for?

Rigid cast pieces such as pendants, earrings, charms and small domed shapes. It cures solid rather than flexible, so it holds detail and takes a high polish.

Do I need the included lamp to cure it?

Yes. UV resin needs UV or LED light to set; the kit's lamp is what cures it. Sunlight works slowly and unreliably, so use the lamp for consistent results.

How is it different from soft UV resin?

Soft resin stays slightly flexible and is used for flat, bendy pieces. Hard resin sets rigid and glossy, which suits jewelry that should keep its shape.

Will the clear resin yellow over time?

Clear UV resins can yellow with prolonged UV exposure. Keep finished pieces out of direct sun and store them away from strong light to slow it.

How do I keep bubbles out of the cast?

Pour slowly in thin layers and pop bubbles with a toothpick or brief heat from a heat gun before curing. The formula is described as bubble-free, but trapped air still needs releasing.

Our take on the 1040g Hard Type UV Resin Crystal Clear Low Odor

This is a 1040g tub of hard-type UV resin that cures crystal clear with a high-gloss finish under a UV or LED lamp. It is aimed at jewelry makers casting pendants, earrings and bracelets, and the kit adds a UV/LED lamp, gloves and applicator tips. Hard resin holds a rigid shape and polishes to a glassy shine, which suits small cast pieces better than soft, flexible resins. The low-odor, bubble-free formula is the main selling point against plain budget resins.
