ICE Resin®

Use ICE Resin® to add color and strength to your jewelry and craft projects! Use the resin alone to cover an image, or mix it with sand, paper, grass, sticks or metal objects for gorgeously layered results. This crystal clear resin will give you unbelievable results. To help in the curing process, simply place it under a desk lamp and let it warm. You can begin layering with ICE Resin® after it dries in approximately six hours. The resin will completely cure in approximately three days. This pack includes a 4 oz. bottle of the resin, a 4 oz. bottle of the hardener, eight cups and eight sticks. Apply the resin with a paint brush, squeeze bottle, sponge or syringe.

"My first time using Ice Resin and it turned out amazing. I used it to cover tiny watch pieces inside a bezel for a steampunk look. Turned out so well I did several more."

"I always return to Ice Resin when it comes to my jewelry designs and resin artwork that I create. I've used several other top products on the market and they do not match the crystal clear results and durability of Ice Resin. Though its set time is longer than other products on the market, it is worth the wait for the quality and professional results that Ice Resin gives in the end. Doming and layering are easy to do with this product and I highly recommend it to artists."

"I had not tried this resin craft before. It turned out to be fairly easy. I have made 6 to 8 necklaces, using coin bezels & bezel cups. I tape the back put in what i want and fill with resin. They turned out beautiful."

Great Product
Date:August 15, 2011
Pros: Price, Versatile, Ease of Use, Quality
Cons: minimum mixing amount is too much to before harden
Creation: test pieces, pendants, bracelet links
"Although i don't have a lot of experience with this product yet, my initial tests have turned out exactly as I expected them to. I look forward to more testing and finally using this product in many of my jewelry designs.
The only downside is that it is challenging to use the amount you have to make in the timeframe before it begins to harden. If it could be mixed in lesser quantities, it would be better suited to my needs."

"I'm new to resin work and it's so much fun to use that I'm forgetting all my other half finished projects.It arrived promptly, in perfect condition, and the Artbeads price point is even better than my local, big box craft store."

"This product is easy to use and produces a fantastic finish. The instructions are easy to follow. The only con on the product is the curing time (3 days), so if you're in a hurry to get a piece finished, try something else (possibly a UV cure resin.)
The first time I used it, I got fantastic results! And have had no problem mixing it since.

"This is the first resin I've ever used. I have to admit, I was terrified of using it. I was afraid of incorrect measurements, bubbles, spills, and staining the picture I was using.
But this resin is exceptionally easy to use! The few bubbles there were came out easily, and measuring was a breeze with the cups included with the resin. My photo was just fine--no stains or flaws.
And the finished product was exceptional! I'll be using this resin over and over and over again!"
