We have been in the epoxy business for over 29 years and ship product all around the world. This is a 2oz bottle We sell our product in sizes from 2oz. to 5 Gallon cans. Some of the largest name badge companies in the world use our epoxy to provide a value added service. Polymer Clay artists from around the world also use our epoxy to add a glass like finish to their creations. Jewelry makers love our epoxy and we have a site catered to their needs. We highly recommend using a 36w UV nail lamp that uses fluorescent tubes. Note the UV LED lights will not cure the epoxy, they do not have the correct wavelength of UV light and also do not have enough light energy. Please consider this before purchase. The nail lamps can be purchased from , or on our website. It takes 20 minutes to fully cure. NOTE: When using our UV epoxy on polymer clay be sure the clay is fully baked first and most importantly clean the clay using isopropyl alcohol to remove plasticizer from the clay surface or the epoxy won't fully cure. What is Epoxy Doming? Epoxy doming is the addition of a glass like shell to a decorated item. This could be anything from professionally printed labels to lapel pins made from metal and even many jewelry items. The doming process depends on surface tension to form a bubble of epoxy on item being decorated without going off the edge of the item. The epoxy is then exposed to low intensity ultra violet light which initiates a chemical reaction that causes the epoxy to harden. The Process Until recently the equipment required to create epoxy domed items was very expensive and was only feasible on large scale jobs. Due to setup costs and product waste anything under 500 pieces was considered to small an order to be worth while, many companies had minimum orders in the thousands. Thanks to new low intensity cure epoxies you only need an inexpensive low intensity fluorescent UV light source to be able to create the same products that only the big boys could a few years ago. That coupled with innovations that simplify application of the epoxy have brought it to the small scale factor that makes it feasible to do small runs. This opens up a market for short run items that was not previously possible. My Experience I started doming items 28 years ago. I started with two part mix doming kits and had limited success. I kept searching for something better when I worked with an epoxy company to develop UV curable epoxies made for doming. These new epoxies were the perfect product and UltraDome was formed.
