Featured positive reviews:
I have lost count of how many insanely expensive casting resins I've tried and thrown away because they suffered from excessive yellowing, bubbling or blushing. While it's a bit thicker than I'd like it to be, by and large, this stuff is extremely forgiving of environmental conditions that can ruin other formulations and the odor is negligible. Keeping it warm will help it mix together more easily, but if you find it's kicking too hot or fast, cooling your mold down with ice packs after pouring works a treat and I have not found it to affect the final cure in any way.
The viscosity makes it less likely to self-level over flat surfaces and I usually have to max out the pressure in my tank to 80psi when casting into 3D molds, but it's still a lot easier to work with than most. Sands and polishes pretty easily once cured, but that also means it's nowhere near the hardness of a polyester. I don't think I'd do a commercial bar top that would be subjected to a great deal of abuse with it.
