Q: How do you use UV resin?
Mix equal parts resin and hardener by volume – you have 30 to 40 minutes of working time – then apply a coat no more than 1/8" thick and let it cure at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F).

Developed for woodwork and art pieces, this coating resin produces a tough high-gloss finish. Water-clear with no optical distortion, it is self-levelling and incorporates UV inhibitors that help reduce yellowing. It can be tinted with EcoPoxy liquid and metallic pigments or mixed with EcoPoxy glitter to create a range of effects.
Suitable for wood, as well as materials such as canvas, fiberboard and metal, it mixes in a 1:1 ratio by volume. Working time is about 30 to 40 minutes, setting to the touch in roughly 10 hours and reaching full cure in 48 hours. It can be applied in layers, though each coat should be no more than 1/8" thick. Temperature for curing should be from 20° to 25°C (68° to 77°F).
Not intended for permanent outdoor use. Unopened containers have a shelf life of up to 2 years when stored at 15° to 25°C (59° to 77°F); once opened, shelf life is approximately 3 months.

Not really. While this formulation contains UV inhibitors to help it resist yellowing, it is not intended for permanent outdoor use. We recommend pouring and curing indoors.
