INTRODUCING UV RESIN -
UV Resin is a specialized type of epoxy resin, which unlike the regular art resin, requires no mixing and can cure when placed under a UV lamp in about 5-10 minutes!
UV Resin holds the possibility for versatile creations, from fashion accessories like earrings, pendants and bangles to aesthetic yet useful items like tea coasters, bookmarks and keychains, any casting of up to 10mm of thickness with guaranteed strength and durability. It is equally useful for coating and lamination needs!
3 Easy Steps of Creating Art Using UV Resin-
1) Mix the desired pigment into the UV Resin.
2) Pour it into the Mould.
3) Place the mould under the UV Lamp.
Within 2- 3 minutes, your art is fully ready!
Mediums to Color UV Resin-
UV Resin blends easily with all major colourants and design elements- mica powder, opaque pigments, glitters as well as the the gold and silver flakes. Each yields a distinct visual effects and offer endless creative possibilities.
Liquid pigments have a flowy consistency. On mixing a few drops of the liquid pigment with the UV resin, the resultant art will achieve a solid, vibrant, and non-transparent finish.
On the other hand, mica powders are a dry, fine powder. When a few pinches of mica powder are mixed into UV resin, they create a translucent, tinted-glass effect with a stunning shimmery depth.
Oytra's Mica Powders for Resin are available as a Set of 12 lively shades as well as a Set of 24 vibrant shades.

I have bought this and even after curing for more than half an hour, it still stays tacky. Totally useless.
