CREATE UV RESIN CRAFTS IN MINUTES WITH NO MIXING OR MEASURING
Want a fun new resin hobby that gives beautiful results fast? TotalBoat Clear UV Resin cures in minutes, and is a must for your DIY resin jewelry making projects, fly tying supplies, and other small resin crafts. All you do is pour the resin into your prepared molds and expose it to UV light for a few minutes. It’ll cure crystal-clear and durable – once you pop it out of the resin mold, it resists scratches, water, fading, and yellowing. Besides castings, UV cure resin is also great as a protective sealer on jewelry pieces and decorative items made with shrink plastic.
IT'S EASY TO ADD COLOR, EMBELLISHMENTS, AND ENCAPSULATIONS
The creative possibilities are endless! Make your own custom colors by adding a little mica powder, alcohol ink or other compatible pigments to the resin before pouring. For a truly one-of-a-kind creation, add small objects, such as beads, crystals, or glitter. The thing to remember is that you want to seal any porous objects with resin before encapsulating, to prevent air bubbles in your finished piece.
WHAT CAN YOU MAKE WITH TOTALBOAT UV CURE CLEAR RESIN?
This versatile UV resin is best for casting and coating small objects. Pour 1/8" thick for most applications, or up to 1/4" thick in small molds -- we recommend white or clear molds to allow the UV light to reach and cure the entire casting. There are so many amazing resin molds available for everything from DIY resin jewelry and accessories to figurines, so you can have fun creating all kinds of fun things fast! You can even bond clear or semi-transparent materials, like glass, plastic, paper, and more to create original art. Here are just a few project ideas to inspire your creativity:
- Necklaces
- Bracelets
- Pendants – ideal for bezels with open backs
- Rings
- Hair clips
- Fishing lures
- Fly tying – great for building up glossy heads, coating fly bodies, and coating thread wraps securely
- Garment & handbag accessories – create buttons, clips and clasps
- Figurines
- Keychains
- Pet name tags for a dog or cat collar
- Mixed media artwork and mosaics

TECHNICAL DATA
- Application Method: Casting, coating
- Recommended Application Thickness: 1/8" for most applications; 1/4" for small molds
- Cure Method: UV light (365-395nm ultraviolet (black light))
- Application Temperature: 60-95°F
- Colorants/Tints/Dyes: Mica Powders, alcohol tints, pigment dispersions, universal pigments. Do not use water-based tints.
- Working Time: There is no defined working time, but it is recommended to work quickly as soon as the material is dispensed. Any ambient light between 365- 395nm will force the resin to cure very quickly.
- Cure Time: 2-10 minutes (depending on UV intensity and thickness of material). Heavily tinted resin may take longer to cure due to the opacity.
- Demold Time: 3-20 minutes
- Shelf Life: Dependent on storage conditions and the exposure to UV light, up to 6 months.
- Color: Clear
- Odor: Low, slight smell during cure
- VOC Content: Less than 15 g/L
- Food Safe Once Cured: No
- Cured Hardness: 85 Shore D
- Thinning: Do NOT THIN or add any solvents to UV Cure Clear Resin.
- Cleanup: Use denatured alcohol or isopropyl alcohol before the resin has cured. Once cured, it must be removed mechanically.
- Mold Release Agents: Use an appropriate aerosol mold release agent such as SmoothOn Ease Release 200 or Universal Release Agent, or a mold release wax such as Collinite Mold Release Paste Wax. For best results, when applying a paste-type mold release wax, apply and polish out 4-5 coats of wax prior to using UV Cure Clear Resin.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
What is TotalBoat Clear UV Resin, and how is it different from epoxy?
TotalBoat Clear UV Resin is a one-part urethane acrylate resin that cures when exposed to UV light. Unlike two-part epoxy, it requires no measuring or mixing and cures in minutes instead of hours or days. It is best suited for thin coatings, small castings, jewelry, resin art, and creative bonding applications. -
What can I make with TotalBoat Clear UV Resin?
Use it for jewelry, keychains, small figurines, fishing lures, fly tying, and decorative coatings. You can also embed small objects or bond clear components for non-structural craft projects, provided UV light can reach the resin. Seal porous materials, such as wood, before casting to help prevent bubbles. -
What size should I choose for my project, and what's included?
TotalBoat Clear UV Resin is available in a 200g starter kit with a UV flashlight (AAA batteries not included), plus 500g and 1000g resin-only bottles. The 200g kit is ideal for first-time users and smaller projects, while the 500g size provides more resin for larger or multiple projects. Choose the 1000g bottle for frequent use or for refilling your UV resin supplies. -
Do I need a UV lamp, or can I use sunlight?
TotalBoat Clear UV Resin requires UV light to cure, either from direct sunlight or a compatible 365–395 nm UV lamp or flashlight. Only the 200g starter kit includes a flashlight. A larger UV lamp can help cover more of your project at once. -
How do I apply and cure TotalBoat Clear UV Resin?
Pour slowly into a prepared mold or apply it as a thin coating, working away from sunlight and active UV lights to prevent premature curing. Expose it to 365–395 nm UV light or direct sunlight; curing typically takes 2–10 minutes, depending on thickness, tinting, and light intensity. Reposition the light as needed, and keep some space between the light and curing surface to prevent overheating and bubbles. Continue curing any surfaces that remain soft or tacky. -
Can I add color or embed objects in TotalBoat Clear UV Resin?
Yes. Use small amounts of mica powder, alcohol ink, or compatible resin pigments; avoid water-based colorants. Seal porous objects before embedding, and test your combination first because opaque objects or excessive pigment can block UV light and prevent a complete cure. -
How thick can I pour TotalBoat Clear UV Resin?
Use a 1/8" pour depth for most applications. For small molds, TotalBoat Clear UV Resin can be poured up to 1/4" thick. Make sure UV light can reach the entire casting for a complete cure. -
What does the cured finish look like, and how durable is it?
TotalBoat Clear UV Resin cures to a clear, hard, high-gloss finish that resists scratches, water, fading, and yellowing. To help preserve its clarity, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. -
Is TotalBoat Clear UV Resin toxic, and does it have an odor?
TotalBoat Clear UV Resin is considered non-toxic once fully cured, but uncured resin can cause serious eye irritation and an allergic skin reaction. Work in a well-ventilated area and wear protective gloves plus eye and face protection. It has a slight odor that may become stronger during curing and dissipates afterward. -
Is TotalBoat Clear UV Resin food contact safe?
No. TotalBoat Clear UV Resin is not certified food safe, even after it has fully cured. Do not use it on surfaces intended for direct food contact.
