I love it!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The new dark plastic bottle design, helps to prevent curing in the bottle. Long fine tip for pouring onto project with precision and control.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">With this product, you need a UV Lamp to cure the resin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I use a 36Watt UV Lamp (Four 9 Watt bulbs), which gives a better cure than the smaller 9 Watt (one bulb) lamps found at Michaels and on eBay.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I show several examples of the UV resin on a variety of polymer clay pieces&#8230; Thick and thin&#8230; With holes and without&#8230; One side and double sided.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Resin gives lots of added strength to thin polymer clay items, and to pieces with holes drilled into them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The beautiful, clear, glassy, domed finish of UV Epoxy Ultradome product will enhance the color and shine of your polymer clay jewelry creations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Resins in general, work best on flat pieces.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">UV Epoxy resis is a self doming resin. The crisper the edges of the pieces you are covering, the higher the dome you can get.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Ultradome does not pull away from edges like other products do&#8230; such as Magic Glos and Glossy Accents.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This product is very easy to use.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">It cures fast Cure (20 &#8211; 25 minutes in a UV Lamp).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Easy to remove bubbles using an open flame from a hand held lighter device.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">There is no mixing with Ultradome&#8230; it is a 1 part product.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I didn&#8217;t mention it in the video, but Ultradome UV Resin is less expensive than other UV Resins on the market.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I used a plastic resin mat with raised bumps to lift my piece up from surface. This makes putting resin on thin pieces much easier.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">You will see how to apply the UV Epoxy resin direct from the bottle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Use a pin or needle tool to draw the resin to the outside edges of your piece.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Pop any bubbles that show up by using the an open flame barbecue lighter.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Make sure your work surface is level when curing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">After the resin is fully applied, the cure under UV Lamp for 20 &#8211; 25 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Clean up with rubbing alcohol.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Make sure that UV light can always get to all resin coated surfaces. In other words, you don&#8217;t want surplus resin seeping under or behind any areas that will be shielded or hidden from the UV light.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Make sure any glues you may have used in the construction of your jewelry item are completely dry before adding resin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Clean metal objects with rubbing alcohol before adding any resin.<\/span><a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9XjSchhX7Q4?rel=0\" width=\"575\" height=\"323\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=7922#video\">UltraDome Brand UV Curing Epoxy Resin<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=9879#video\">Polymer Clay UV Epoxy Resin UltraDome Brand<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=9394\">UV Cure Jewelry Resin UltraDome Test Results<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=10852#video\">Polymer Clay Blend and Switch Technique<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Resource: <a href=\"http:\/\/snip.ly\/L0Eh\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">Epoxy Jewelry Terry Morris Ultradome Supplier<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Do you have any suggestions for videos on tips, techniques or products you would like to learn more about?
