Hi there,

I would like to make a few resin lamps and im curious which resin is best for a clear sharp finish, no yellowing and if possible a short cure time? especially as I'm working with layers).

Its my first time working with this material so feel completely lost.

Attached are some sample images of the kind of idea.

Thank you,

Unfortunately you do not get short cure times with epoxy in general. For casting over 10mm thick per layer you would want to look at our GlassCast 50 Clear Epoxy Casting Resin as it can be poured in moulds up to 50mm per layer.  The resin does take 48 hours to fully cure, however if building layers, you can do that generally at the B stage for each layer which can be 12-18 hours typically.
