Deep Pour Epoxy Clarity/UV/Hardness Test - Detailed Comparison!

You should do a 1 year follow up to see if they’ve yellowed.

Matt, I typically don't write reviews or comments on videos, but I have to say this is one of the best videos on epoxy clarity I have seen. You did a great job, and I can't even begin to imagine the time or cost it took to do this one. Thanks are owed to you from all of us out here who will use this video to determine what to buy.

Thanks for putting in all the work required to do this comparison! It's surprising, even for us, how much the results can vary between brands and formulas. This is going to help a lot of people make an informed decision when choosing an epoxy brand.

Listen (or i guess read), this is the type of work and effort that goes into a true quality channel. I personally want you to know that on this app, I constantly hear "remember to like and subscribe.." (or something to that effect), and each time I move on almost out of spite. I've never seen you or your channel, but I have just paused at 23:27 to subscribe, drop a like, and write this. I am also going to share this video with my friends of similar interests. THIS INFORMATION IS INVALUABLE as in there is no telling how much money you just saved my business. Man, you put in 5-6 WEEKS of patient science, (not to mention the video editing, I'm part editor at my day job) and had the kindness of heart to condense it into a detailed 28 min video. Great job and thank you, friend! All the best to you, your business, and channel!

Absolutely the best comparison I have seen. I now can choose a resin with confidence that suits my needs. Clarity is hard to choose when most say their resin is crystal clear, until you can see a side by side. Most of us can't afford this opportunity, so thank you. 😁

Matt I think this video will go down in the community as the “go to” video on epoxy tests. Great work! I am shocked that Incredible Solutions was so low on the price and made it to the top 3. Cheers!

Please tell me that you didnt throw these out!! I would love to come back in a year, and see how they all look after a full year of UV exposure Excellent test, I've been dabbling with resin for years, way before it became trendy but it hasn't been until recently that I've really started to create more especially now that there's more products designed specifically for use in resin crafting. I'm to the point where these little quart bottles aren't lasting me long. I just bought my first 1 gallon set, I wish I had seen this 2 days ago!! But these will help for next time. Very well done and thought out test. The only thing you could have done different would be have the molds for the slabs not sharing a common wall. That one brand got REALLY hot so no matter how thick the walls between the samples there would be a possibility of heat transfer. But that's being really not picky. Finally, I think Incredible Solutions looked the best but you can't really rely on people's opinions of an image their viewing in this manner, to many variables. You know the whole "the dress is black & blue or white & green" thing.

I am amazed with the astonishing amount of work that went into this project and with how well it was thought out. Incredible.

Great test man! Was always curious about this stuff.

I make epoxy furniture for a living and have used many different brands over the last 20 years. This is the first time I’ve seen any good testing done and and congratulate you on a great job with the video. Happy to see that the brand I have been using is one of the best. Thanks again for a job well done.

I'd say Wise Bond is the clarity winner, but my preferred choice is actually Incredible Solutions. The difference is that I actually find I like the very slight blue cast because it gives my brain that juicy glass feeling. Does that make sense? We were all kind of taught since childhood that "plastic" is inferior to glass, so if the resin looks just a little bit more like glass it's enough of a brain trick to give you that cold, smooth, "oh I want to feel that," glassy sensation. Also, it's cheaper and has a good hardness. I'm not rich, so if I can save some money without really losing any quality then I'll go for it. Thanks for this though! I've watched a lot of videos on working with resin lately and everyone uses a different brand.

Matt, you are a HUGE BLESSING!!! I have been sharing this video nonstop with all of my maker friends today. Going above and beyond to create this content the way you did, is mind blowing. I appreciate your hard work and efforts and time spent and I know many many more will as well!! You haven’t just saved us time and money, for most of us you’re actually saving our artwork and projects from having to be redone or even scrapped. Thank you so much and all the best to you!

I really was swayed into Incredible Solutions as the come back winner but the one thing I cannot get over is how damn clear Wisebond is when you do the side shot with the beer behind them and you can see the Special. For that thickness (10"-14" deep?), Wisebond was the only one that you could read the can through the block like it wasn't even there. These two would have to come down to tint preference and work-ability to decide either way. Can't go wrong. UPDATE: Reviews in users feedback tip it back in Incredible Solutions favor.

Between Wisebond and Incredible Solutions. SuperClear looked great just had too many micro bubbles. Incredible Solutions was almost bubble free so personally I think that would be my winner. Edit: thank you so much for making this video. The benefits are incalculable. This video is the preeminent video of how to make a research/review/comparison vid.

Incredible Solutions seems to be the clearest with the least micro bubbles. Great job and very thorough. Kudos for getting all those companies to donate the resins!

Incredible solutions has the best overall look and clarity

I literally said 'Finally!' out loud while watching this video. This attention to detail is so beyond what other reviewers do, a UV test is a must for clear resins. Just amazing info.

"Incredible Solutions" was the one that overall impressed me the most, in the top 3 in clearness, 2nd cheapest (1st cheapest if it was not for a sale), good hardness, top performer for low uv reaction, and the slab pour had the least amount of bubbles by far compared to the others. In the bear can pour test the final top 3 are very comparable, down to personal preference if you ask me, and again I like the look of the incredible solutions beer can pour the most. Extremely impressive, my pick for winner by far, great video!

For my needs, Incredible Solutions has to be the winner here. Since I don't (and don't want to) de-gas my pours, the fact that it comes out almost completely bubble free is much more important than the fact that it's a bit less clear than the other two. And even that is debatable... it may be a bit more milky? In any case, it beats my usual product (Ryver) by a large margin in clarity, hardness and resistance to UV. And it's cheaper to boot. So I guess I am ordering me some Incredible Solutions for my next project. It can only beat Ryver... So thanks a lot for the time and effort you've put into this video! It is VERY appreciated! Long life to your channel! :D
