Epoxy Resin Crystal Clear - Pour 2 Inches Plus at One Time for Live Edge and River Tables - ¾ Gallon Clear Epoxy Resin Kit

Yes it’s clear but it looks so dull and foggy after it’s done .You can definitely see the imperfections and cracking.I’m disappointed in this product.In addition, the price was reduced after I purchased the product

I was gifted a rare piece of Canadian Redwood that had floated in the Gulf of Mexico for years, and pulled from the Gulf back in 1970. It was full of sea slug holes, and looked beautiful, but was very fragile, in some places most of the wood was missing due to the slug holes. After consideration, a guitar was the only way to go, since the gifting person's dad was there with him in 1970, and was an accomplished guitar player. Acrylic was the only way to go, since I decided to build a Telecaster electric guitar, and needed to encase the wood so it would be stable. In some places the holes go right through, and you can see clearly through them, this stuff is so crystal. This was about a 1 3/4" thick pour, and with all the holes, I knew I needed to put in a thin layer on the bottom of the mold I built, then lay the wood in, and pour the rest. Worked well. The product performed exactly as advertised. Set up nice, crystal clear, some bubbles got caught due to all the hundreds of holes in the wood, but that was to be expected. I just left them, since they were down a ways, and didn't hurt the structural integrity. Actually, it worked a bit faster than I thought, and in about 72 hours it was totally firm, and I peeled off the mold and began finishing the edges and polishing it. What I DIDN'T expect, was after about three additional days, with just the edges of the guitar to polish off and a few light scratches on the back from the mold, was that the product got SO HARD, I found I didn't have a polish or compound in my shop that would touch it. Now let it be said, I do a lot of golf club restoration, woodworking, file, planer blade and knife sharpening in my shop and I have compounds that will move stainless steel. Not this stuff. Once it fully cured, I could router it,(slowly), to make my neck pocket, control area and pickup holes, but polish it? Forget about it. I worked on it for days, and moved maybe .001 of the stuff. So although a great product, you had better get it polished within the first three days of hardening. For the record, I used a digital scale, calibrated, that measures out to a tenth of an ounce. I made sure the product was measured correctly. Been down that "it didn't cure right" road before. Mixing is everything also, and I used a wooden mixer I made on my lathe that matched the taper of the bottom of my containers that would also go into a drill, so I could mix it completely. Curing not a problem - hardening, Whoh...

I've been working with resin for close to a decade now and I purchased this one due to my regular brand being temporarily unavailable. after trying it, here are what I consider the pros and cons - Pros: -SUPER thin viscosity so really easy to mix & releases bubbles really well for the pieces that are too large to cure in my pressure pot -really not too much of an odor -does cure absolutely crystal clear & the shore hardness seems adequate.. although.. CONS: -shore hardness not actually listed anywhere, so you just have to kinda guess -it shrinks ALOT during curing. more than any other brand of deep pour that I've tried -because of said shrinkage, you cannot get away with pouring thinner layers (I had some left over after my main pour so I decided to pour a thin base layer in another mold - yes, I'm aware it takes longer to cure & that was fine with me - but the layer ended up curing with very noticeable ripples and lines clearly starting from the outer edges and moving towards the center, which is how I know it was from the shrinkage. the one I poured to depth was totally fine & crystal clear) - significantly more expensive than other high quality brands due to the cons & the price point, I think I'll stick with my go-to, Unicone Art Masterclass Extra Deep Pour

I use this on all of my projects. It looks and works great!

Deep pour was bubble free the smell seemed extra strong. I didn't get any reaction from it. But it was worth noting
