I had run out of my other resin but I have lots of UV resin to use, so I got to work. I’ve been having a lot of fun making these and will be making many more. These are all using the Let’s Resin brand uv resin. I am waiting on the findings to finish the charms, which should arrive today or tomorrow.
I did make the koi! I poured them in orange then added the black and white to them. The lilly pads are from the same kit the koi mold is from. They actually are part of a pond kit but the ponds need two part resin which I am not using at the moment.
The resin does not really smell. The uv resin has a faint smell while it is curing under the lamp, but it’s not strong at all. The two part resin I use (Clearcast 7050) has no smell at all either. I’m very, very sensitive to smells so I was happy to find these ones. I can pour for hours and I don’t get a headache!
I’m looking at working with UV resin and saw your post. Thank you for all the information about what you used and whether or not it has a horrible smell! I was awful with two-part resin, so I have high hopes. Oh, what wattage of uv light do you use for Let’s Resin? I was thinking about buying the light separately rather than all in a kit.
