How simple is this kit for someone new to resin?

Smallbudi built this set to eliminate the guesswork for beginners. The 1:1 mixing ratio (by volume) streamlines measurements, and the included tools and manual guide you through the basics from mixing to finishing.

• Pre-measured containers and measuring cups for accurate mixing
• Detailed manual with step-by-step instructions and safety tips
• Tools included: gloves, silicone sticks, pipettes, scrapers, apron, and tablecloths

What results can I expect for clarity, bubbles, and yellowing?

The resin is formulated with advanced clarity additives and anti-yellowing stabilisers to preserve transparency over time. Its self-leveling and low-viscosity properties minimize trapped air, producing smooth, glass-like surfaces when poured and cured correctly.

• Crystal-clear finish suitable for transparent pours and glossy coatings
• Self-degassing properties reduce bubble formation during curing
• UV-resistant formulation to slow yellowing from sunlight exposure
• Polishable surface for high-gloss results after curing

Is this resin safe to use around food items and in classrooms?

Once fully cured, Smallbudi epoxy conforms to safety standards and is reported as food safe for contact surfaces such as coasters and trays. The uncured components are low-odour and low-VOC, making them easier to work with in shared spaces, but standard safety precautions are still recommended.

• ASTM D-4236 compliant information for safer handling
• Low-odour, low-VOC formula suited for hobby spaces and classrooms
• Food-safe once fully cured—suitable for coasters and serving pieces
• Always use gloves and adequate ventilation during mixing and pouring

What projects work best with this epoxy resin kit?

The kit is versatile enough for small crafts and larger furniture projects alike. Included colorants and decorative foils help you create jewellery, river tables, tumblers, and decorative surfaces with professional-looking effects.

• Pouring and coating wood tables, countertops, and live-edge slabs
• Casting moulds for jewellery, coasters, and decorative objects
• Embedding items like dried flowers, photos, and small keepsakes
• Adding mica powders and gold flakes for marbling and metallic effects
