UV Resin Kit for Jewelry & DIY
UV resin is a fast curing, no-mix option for crafts and for small projects where speed, clarity, and control matter most. Craft Resin is a crystal clear UV resin with a low viscosity formula designed for jewellery, charms, keyrings, bezels, mini moulds, polymer clay details, and uv resin for embedding flowers in thin, light-accessible layers. It is a practical choice for makers who want a simpler workflow and a polished finish without the longer cure time of traditional epoxy.
The formula is designed to help create a bubble free, high-gloss surface with a clean cure on detailed decorative work. It is also yellowing-resistant, helping finished pieces stay brighter and clearer over time when used as directed. Because UV resin performs best in thin layers, it is especially well suited to jewellery making, coatings, floral keepsakes, and other detailed craft applications.

Product specifications
UV resin is a fast-curing, one-component resin designed for precision work, coatings, and small castings. It cures in 60–120 seconds per side under a UV lamp to a crystal-clear, high-gloss finish - no mixing required.
Unlike epoxy resin, ultraviolet resin is ready to use straight from the bottle and cures on demand when exposed to UV light, making it ideal for quick projects and detailed applications.
For best results, apply in thin layers up to 2–3 mm per cure.

FAQ
What is UV resin and how does it work?
UV resin is a ready-to-use liquid resin that cures when exposed to ultraviolet light. It does not require mixing and hardens in a few minutes under a UV lamp.
What is UV resin best used for?
UV resin is best for small, detailed projects such as jewellery, coatings, bonding, and decorative crafts where fast curing and precision are important.
What is the difference between UV resin and epoxy resin?
UV resin cures in 60–120 seconds per side under a UV lamp and requires no mixing, making it ideal for quick, detailed work. Epoxy resin requires mixing and longer curing times but is better suited for larger pours.
Which UV resin product should I choose?
Choose 300g if you want a smaller bottle for regular crafts and testing new ideas, 500g for more frequent making, and 1kg if you need a bulk option for ongoing small-batch work. Pick the UV Resin Kit with Lamp if you want a ready-to-use starter set, and choose Bonding UV with Flashlight if you need fast-curing UV glue for repairs and precise bonding. For project planning, you can also use the Calculator linked in the site footer.
Do I need a UV resin kit with lamp or just the resin?
Choose the kit if you are new to UV resin or want a more complete setup with resin, lamp, and accessories in one purchase. Choose just the resin if you already have a compatible UV lamp and only need refills for jewellery, charms, keychains, small moulds, or decorative craft work.
Can UV resin cure without a UV lamp?
Yes, UV resin can cure in direct sunlight, but the result is usually slower and less consistent than curing with a proper UV lamp. For faster, more reliable results, use a lamp in the 365–405 nm range, which is what the Craft Resin UV products are designed for.
Can I use UV resin with pigments, glitter, or dried flowers?
Yes, UV resin can be used with pigments, glitter, charms, and dried flowers for decorative work, especially on jewellery and other small projects. The main thing to remember is that UV resin works best in thin, light-accessible layers, so heavy or opaque additions can slow curing and may require thinner applications.
Is UV resin suitable for beginners?
Yes. UV resin is beginner-friendly because it is ready to use, requires no mixing, and cures quickly under UV light. It is especially well suited to first-time makers working on jewellery, keychains, charms, miniature artwork, and other small detailed projects where fast results and easy control matter.
