Okay, so I finally got my hands on the Smallbudi 2 Gallon Epoxy Resin Kit, and let me tell you—it did NOT disappoint. As someone who’s dabbled in resin art for a while, this kit feels like hitting the jackpot.
First off, the inclusion of EVERYTHING—mica powders, gold foil, glitters, even an apron—is just *chef’s kiss*. No more scrambling for supplies mid-project. The 1:1 resin ratio is foolproof, and the self-leveling feature? Magic. My coasters came out smoother than my attempts at adulting.
Now, the pumps… controversial take: they’re fine if you’re patient (which I am not). But honestly? Just pour directly from the bottles like a rebel. The resin itself is *chef’s kiss*—crystal clear, bubble-free (RIP my old vacuum chamber), and cured rock-hard overnight. Even my clumsy cat couldn’t dent it.
Pro tip: Skip the fancy brands. This outperformed resins twice the price in my side-by-side tests. Only gripe? The glitter addiction it awakened in me. 10/10 would resin again.
