I Test the 6 Best Selling Resins - Shocking Results
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ค. 2024
- With the number of different brands of resin out there and the claims they make about there resins I wanted to test to see which of the best selling resins were actually performing as they say. Some say the resin will not yellow, others say it will not create bubbles etc. So I tested these 6 resins and I think you'll be shocked at the results, I know I was. I tested the following resins: craft resin, Dr Crafty, Art Resin, Sin Wong, JDiction and Let's Resin. I used exactly the same test at the same time. There was nothing added to any of these epoxy resins and they were all mixed according to the instructions that came with the resin.

This video is a year old, but I still want to take a minute to thank you for doing these comparisons. They’re so thorough and well-done. The info is priceless as well. Thank you again. ❤
Best resin comparison video in 10 minutes! Clear, thorough, unbiased and so useful. Thank you!!!
I appreciate your time on this. Yellowing can occur with sunlight exposure inside the house though it might happen at a slower rate. All resins brag about bubbles, yellowing etc but as you said they all yellow eventually. This is one reason I don’t use them on my paintings beside not liking the plastic look on my art. All are food safe for incidental contact once fully cured according to the FDA data sheet. I wouldn’t cut on it though.
Thanks Steve for taking the trouble to do this for us all. You always do great experiments, and make great videos. You are a brilliant TH-camr. God bless you and all those you love.
Yes thank you I have learned a lot from watching your videos as well as other videos from other channels but I enjoy watching your channel the most I can’t afford to give donations do to being on disability sorry but please keep up the great work and videos
Which resin would I use to cover photos A3 size
I am a total newbie to resin and highly value your videos and experience AND advice. It is fabulous that you take the time and trouble to provide this level of expertise! Today was my very first resin "pour" on several small items from three pendants to several little molds. I'm going to work up to other projects hoping to finally reach enough experience to pour a rectangular table top which is designed with never-worn Swatch watches and small turtles. I call it my Fool's Table - long story - but I spent so much money on the design contents thinking of them as mini investments - never happened - so Fool's Table. I have to get this pour right because the overall table is turning out rather stunning and I really want it to work. Thanks ever so for helping me on the way . . .
Once you get your resin I suggest you pour many very thin coats instead of trying thick or even medium coats. Better chance of maybe getting dust in it (make sure to inspect and then cover it well) but greatly reduced chance of bubbles ruining your table. If you have areas that could cause bubbles (the watch faces or under the turtles) keep a very close eye on them all or try to coat them individually first. Good luck! 😁👍
@@ChibiChula So thankful for your welcome reply. Been muddling through this far and trying to learn all I can. Your suggestion of many thin coats sound like the real voice of reason and something I can certainly shoot for and will most likely do once I'm ready. I'm hesitant in the first place and have no clue yet as to which resin would serve me best. I'm voraciously trying to educate myself so I can get this project done. Have even thought about having it done somewhere but even this will take educating myself. Happy to say @ChibiChula (love the name!) that my first EVER resin went well.
@@DressYourHorse Glad to hear that your first resin project went well! I recommend that you take on a project at least half the size and complexity of your table before taking on a project you feel that strongly about. Taking on half the work will give you a better idea of what you are in for with the table and help you prepare and practice.
Also, my suggestion of thin layers was not just because of caution due to bubbles but is the actual best technique for this type of project unless you specifically get a resin that is recommended for deep pours. The package will tell you how deep you can pour the resin for a reason. If you go too deep with some resins it can flash cure and produce so much heat it's actually dangerous. Please be careful.
BTW, I seem to remember someone doing a very thorough explanation and testing video about different resins. I'll see if I can find it again but I seem to remember that a counter top resin and marine resin were included (probably Stonecoat and Total Boat), possibly a bar coat too, so it does feature some of the pricey side of resins but they are good quality for furniture pieces. It's been ages though so maybe you should try to find a more up-to-date version of the video instead. Good luck again! 😁👍
@@ChibiChula Oh thank you so much for your unexpected and incredibly knowledgeable reply. I am so grateful!
I have many plans to play and practice before attempting to do the table. I call it Fools Table for a reason. That's why I'm even considering having it finished professionally. It is definitely an involved project - one that I'm nowhere near trying yet.
I'm doing a few more molds and going up in scale to perhaps a dresser tray and similar resin projects so that I can learn to play with colors and various things. I plan to do a 5x7 picture frame over glass, or mosaic or mixed media. Then on to an 8x10. I have four single pane windows I want to resin for a backdrop in my garden playing on resin clarity combined with colored glass, marbles and designs I'm figuring out now. These will be my stepping stones to the table. I've prepped the table with gesso. The design on the table is now complete - I'm only debating whether I wish to incorporate any cracked glass. All watches are laid out their full length in a pattern I designed. The turtles are interspersed and vary in gold and in silver and in pearls or colorful shells. They complement the watches rather nicely. It's not a table for everyone but it sure ought to be one heck of a conversation piece. The watches represent an investment I made as do the turtles. By using them, their value is shot. This entire thing is purely visual and hopefully heirloom unique. It is important to me to get it right.
For all these reasons, I think it is so very special to me that you have offered such important advice and I'm listening to you ever so closely. I'll get one chance to get it right. So off I go to practice, practice, practice. You are a lifesaver and a sweetheart. Thank you so very much!
This was a good comparison between the different brands. Thank you for providing this useful information. I would also like to leave my condolences for the loss of Queen Elizabeth II. I had great respect for her and her service to her Commonwealth and to the world.
Thank you for taking the time to do this comparison. I know it was much time and money and it shows how dedicated you are to your channel and teaching people about the proper use of the best resin. Thank you thank you thank you.
I love SigWong. It's my go-to, never have bubbles, and it's crystal clear! I never had that yellow issue on my outside pieces.
That’s great news. As I said these are my findings and other people may have different experiences
Finally, the comparison we all needed!! Thank you for your time, energy, and funds behind this!
Thank you for taking the time to do this so that we don't make costly mistakes x
Thank you Steve this has helped me greatly, even being a year old. I struggled so much with a particular brand and nearly gave up on doing resin. So happy 🎉
Ty for doing this and always helping to educate your fans. We all love you and your work.
I love this test!!! I have tried so many resins & to be honest I always go back to JDiction I just love it!!! I love you & your videos!!!
That was awesome Steve!! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy life to make ours easier!!!♥️😃
I really appreciate your work……I’m new to resin so you have spared me endless frustration and some cash.👍👏
That is the best compliment anyone could give me. Thank you
Thank you, so much! Experiments like these are Always SO Helpful!!!!💕
I really appreciate you doing this test! I’ve tried some of the others and they aren’t as hard as the Jdiction. I didn’t think it mattered until I tried the Jdiction. I like the Let’s Resin but like I said, Jdiction was so much harder. The art Resin was the worst for me.
Thank you for the spelling of product, I wasn't sure till I read your comment
I was waiting for this video before I started using this type of resin. I usually make smaller things with UV but venturing into making cherry blossom trays this spring and UV isn’t going to cut it. This is great to start off with. Thanks for the time consuming work!
thanks for this test, brilliantly summarized. had no idea there could be such a difference. placing all my Amazon orders through your aff link this month as a thank you for this and all the other wonderful experiments you do. you are an asset to the crafting community.
Great video! Thank you for doing this. I was wondering the most about Art Resin and Let’s Resin so I was happy to see that you tested them!!!
I comment before reading many of the other comments and it’s nice to read how many of us do enjoy your style.
Thank you, Steve, this was very useful. I also would like to congratulate you on your patience. To have worked on this project for 6 months is impressive. I am not sure if I could have done that.
Love you work. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
I really appreciate you & your videos, especially videos like these. They're so informative & clear!
I really enjoyed and appreciate this video. I am just getting into resin and am so overwhelmed with all the options. Thank you so much for clearing this up for me!! ❤
Thank you so much Steve for taking the time to do this experiment. It's helped a great deal.
Truly appreciate you making this video! It can be so frustrating when makers are sharing things they were sponsored to do and it is beyond skewed compared to real life use. I have used 4 of the 6 that you have here. And half way round the world got the exact same results. How I wish someone had done this years back when I first started and wasted so much money and time.
Thank you!!
Thank you, Steve for taking the time and spending the money for this experiment. It’s amazing how the quality, or lack thereof, changes from one to the other.
Like so many of the other comments I have to say a great big THANK YOU for all the time and work you put into this project!! You can really see the differences between the resins..... I know that it'll save not only me but many of US a lot of time, and frustrations. And the fur babies look so cute 🥰🥰🥰.
Stay safe, you do you, and stay creativity crafty.👍👍🛎️🛎️🔔🔔🦋🦋
I'm just getting into resin crafts and this was incredibly helpful (as are all your videos). Thank you!
I wish i had found this video before buying Artresin as my first resin experience. The bubbles are a nightmare, it becomes malleable at minimum heat and turned yellow after only two days in the sun. A complete waste of money, time and nerves 😅 I was ready to give up, but now i will try let's resin!
Thank you so much for your incredible videos, they are really helpfull 🙂
Thank you for doing this test and sharing the information in such a clear manner. It's good to hear that Let's Resin was the best in your test. Thank you.
I really enjoy watching your videos and appreciate you taking the time to help figure the best supplies to use❤
Great information Steve! Thank you so much for this!
Great video Steve, just the kind of information I was looking for. Thank you so much 👍👏
Thank you so very much for making this very honest comparison of these resins Sir!🙏 It's so hard to find honest reviews these days!
I would like to Thank You for all of your time, money & effort that you have put into making this video. Not only for all of us resin users but especially for beginners or those of us (like myself) who are very interested but afraid 😬
(for lack of a better term) in becoming part of the resin world. I learned a lot about good resin vs bad resin. Again, Thank you. 😊
I’m making holographic suncatchers for gifts. This video is perfect timing. The Art Resin will be saved for another project.
I started with Art Resin too and found it played up a lot and yellowed very quickly, excellent test, thanks so much Steve, you are a legend
I can't even begin to tell you how informative and helpful this video was for me. I am just starting out with resin work and have already come across many issues from my own experience. The resin I am working with now is not working well for me and has a ton of bubbles no matter what I do. Thank yo so much for making this video!
Great test. I do love the JDiction resin I have not tried the Let’s Resin. I was so glad when you introduced thr JDiction & I tried it. Thanks for the work you do. I have found your videos very helpful!
Great test. I'm currently using JDiction on recommendation from your other videos & love it. Thanks for the experiment. Coffee on the way 😊
Thank you so much for doing this- I've been using Art Resin for the past few years because it was all my local store had. I had to learn a million little tricks to stop it from doing exactly what you showed here. I wish I had found you earlier- now I can switch to an easier to use, more inexpensive, better resin. Some other problems I've had over the years, it has a surprisingly low heat tolerance, it only seems to be good for glazing, and even months later sometimes my coasters will take indents easily. (even with a warm water bath beforehand, a space heater and ideal humidity)
Thanks for taking the time to do this experiment.
Steve, thank you for sharing this. I really appreciate the information that you provide.
Thank you Steve! It's always great to see comparisons. The best way to make a decision, is to be informed. I have learned so much from your channel. And I hope you know that there are more people who like and respect you than all those haters. They aren't worth a second of your time! 🌻
That was a really great experiment. Very interesting and helpful to see the results. Thank you for doing this!
Funny story (and this is now the 2nd time this has happened to me, though on another person's channel)
I am sitting here watching your videos from a plsylist i created for "watch later" as I am watching i suddenly find myself watching a 30 minute advertisement for CounterculterDIY and the only reason I notice is because the only resin artist I know uses it is Artsy Mad Woman and she is no longer doing resin pours. She is expirimenting with "Tufting" and has not done resin in almost a year. I was about 7 minutes into this commercial before I realize its a 30 minute advertisement.
So youtube is getting really good at slipping in these ads 😯
Thanks Steve for these tests. I was surprised to see that the Art Resin yellowed very quickly and very strongly! This was the resin I was using when I started. A coaster made of clear resin, without pigments, and put in an airtight box, was very yellow even though it had not been exposed to light. I'm glad I don't use it anymore.
Thank you Steve for this upload, there are so many resins available that it's hard to know which one is suitable. But more importantly, one that is going to do as stated and not be over priced.
Great video... thanks for doing all this work. Love it
Awesome experiment! Thank you!!!
Thanks for this comparison. Very helpful!
Very useful comparison. Super thanks!!!!
I’ve tried about all of these. It’s helpful to see the UV results and price comparisons as well. Thank you
Thank you for taking your money,time and patience for putting this video together it was very informative.
Thanks for the comparison video, Steve. I’m a beginner with limited funds so this was very helpful. 😁
Great video. 👍 Thanks for sharing this exciting experiment! 😀
Thank you so much! I’m getting ready to try to resin something for the first time!
Excellent experiment. Very useful for all us resin artists and just love the doggies. You also have a lovely garden ❤️
I've been using Let's Resin products for quite some time and have been very pleased. It's good to see a few other products put to the test, too. 👍
Thanks so much for doing this for all of us!
Thanks for testing so informative ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! This video was so helpful! I was about to “add to cart”. Thanks for saving me time, money, & frustration!!
I love Let's Resin for UV resin and their two part resin … I also love JDiction 2 part resin but not their uv resin… glad to see the two very best ones were the ones I use as well! :)
🤠 Thank you for doing this for us!! Love how you check things out...blessings!
Thank you so much! I was debating between the Art Resin and Let's Resin. Did not expect those results😮
Great video, thanks for your hard work!
Very interesting experiment. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for this! Very helpful.
That was an interesting test. Thank you for sharing.
