Colored Resin

[salmo]

I have found that some of the colored resins do not cure properly with my torch. I confess that I sometimes use UV nail polish. I then saw that some resins cure with a different UV wavelength. Help?

I got cheaper uv and sometimes the light doesn’t fully cure so I leave them in my window in the sun for a couple days.

I have several bottles of black. One cure well and the other doesn’t. I’m giving the slow cure stuff to my assistant’s daughter

Dear salmo,

It's an old habit, but I smoke my resin. 😉

I looked at the black previously and found better results with black nail polish from the DG

Not to complicate this but apparently there are 2 different UV gels used in the nail industry. One is a base coat that is designed to cure sticky. Another that is for a “top coat” which dries hard. The tacky surface of the base coat is apparently to help the top coat adhere. Who knew?

Cover the tacky resin with SHHAN.

Cover the tacky resin with SHHAN.

Or another coat of clear resin, but SHHAN is quite superior as it'sharder.
