For Use With Resin
I have been working w/ UV resin for a little while now & had previously just been setting it out in the sunlight to cure. It worked great except for when it was cloudy &/or rainy, which became very frustrating. I saw this UV lamp which has very high wattage even though the price is equal to or even lower than most others w/ lower watts. I searched through the reviews yet saw nothing related to using it w/ resin, so I was very hesitant to try it. I decided to anyway though & so far I am very glad I did. I haven't had it for long at all so I'm really hoping it continues to perform as it's been. The majority of resin pieces I have so far made while using this are cured in about 2 minutes. If I applied a thicker application of resin it'll take a few more, but always less than 10. The 1 & only thing I wish I could change about this lamp is how it only has settings for 30 seconds, 1 minute & 2 minutes. I guess when you put your hands in it to cure uv nail polish it will remain on for the duration of time your hands are inside, yet when I place a bezel or mold in it the lights do not automatically stay on. So I always press the 2 minute button even though it sometimes needs a little bit longer. It's really not a big deal, though, and it isn't necessarily a bad thing. All I have to do is press the button several times for those thicker applications of resin. So I hope this helps someone else, as I didn't see any other reviews about using this w/ resin. To summarize my obnoxiously long review, this lamp has so far performed extremely well for use with UV resin. I strongly encourage others to try it out for your crafts/jewelry making. If anything does change though & if it stops working so well for some reason I will edit my review, but hopefully that won't happen. So as of now I am extremely happy w/ this & very excited to have it.
