Liquid Diamonds is a two-part, crystal clear casting epoxy resin designed for the crafting industry. It is used for decorative crafting, jewelry making and general castings, including pen blanks, custom tool handles and decorative castings.
The resin has a low viscosity and is thinner than many epoxies. It pours easily and seeps into small nooks and crannies. It has a longer pot life and resists the heat that builds up when the two parts are mixed. It cures crystal clear with a high gloss finish and cures within 24 hours.
The mix ratio is 2:1 by weight or volume. For thick pours, the heat of the reaction can cause microbubbles and possible cracking, so pour several thinner layers instead of one thick one. The resin is recommended for pours of 2 inches or more, but multiple layers of 1/2 inch to 1 inch are still recommended over a single 2-inch pour.
