Quantum Fast Set Resin Review
Quantum fast set offers all of the amazing features as the regular set quantium but it has a super fast cure time. This resin will be touch dry in 1 – 2 hours (full cure in 7 Hours). This means you can really quickly add layers which is perfect for intricate designs, adding multiple colours and it means you can add top coats to your project in no time!
Is it still easy to work with? YES! It’s just as easy to work with BUT – you have a short 20 minute working time with this super speedy resin. This means you need to have planned out exactly what you’d like to do and make sure you have all of your materials to hand so you’re ready to get to work as soon as you’ve finished mixing.
Tips for working with Quantum
Both the regular and fast cure quantum resins are very high viscosity to help you have full control of your designs and to allow amazing glossy coverage with minimal resin. With all high viscosity resins, you’ll get bubbles when mixing. DO NOT PANIC!
This resin is pure magic!
Even when you have bubbles at the point of adding resin to your project, you’ll see them disappear. This isn’t like regular fast cure resin – honestly I was amazed. It’s by far the biggest surprise from Apex. I don’t know how you’ve done it but huge thanks on behalf of all tumbler turners!
