The best UV resins, compared.
Top pick: VORTHYLA UV resin, 500 g Best value: Bsrezn UV resin, 400 g – Best resin per pound among bottles with several thousand independent reviews: about £13.99, 4.6 from 3,247, four 100 g bottles. The cure field is unreadable. Updated 22.10.2026.
UV resin is a one-part liquid that stays workable until a UV lamp hardens it. In the UK you buy it for jewellery, charms, small moulds and a clear coat on polymer clay. The light has to reach the liquid, so open bezels, domes and coats a few millimetres thick suit it. A sound result is a thin clear layer that goes hard under a lamp you trust. Check that the pack mass matches the title, that the cure field is a real number, and whether a lamp is in the box. A bottle on its own assumes you already own a lamp. For clear work, a useful lamp is often about 24–48 W. A mains lamp should be 230 V with a BS 1363 plug. A one-minute cure line is a thin-layer claim. Hard, low-viscosity resin matches jewellery. Uncured resin is a skin and eye irritant: nitrile gloves, ventilation, and do not stare into the lamp. How to read pack mass, lamp wattage and the cure field is in the [UV resin buying guide](/hub/fillers-adhesives-and-sprays/uv-resin/sub/uv-resin-buying-guide).

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
Do you already own a UV lamp?
VORTHYLA is about £15.98 with a 500 g title, a 4 minute cure field and low viscosity. Stars are 4.7 from 63. Model VA005 and part number RA005 disagree, and reviews describe 100 g and 300 g packs. Water resistance and material are blank. The sample is too small to treat the title as settled.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small experiment only if the bottle you receive matches the title.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a confirmed 500 g fill or a large review sample.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this definitely a 500 g pack?
The title and the 500 ml volume say so. Number of pieces is 5, and reviews describe 100 g and 300 g packs.
How many reviews is 4.7 based on?
63. That is a small count next to listings with thousands of reviews.
Does the listing state a wavelength?
The page asks what wavelength is needed and does not answer it.
The YIEHO 500 g bottle, at about £16.99, is a clear low-viscosity UV resin with no lamp in the box. It is 4.6 from 5,434 amazon.co.uk reviews, the largest independent count in this comparison. Reviews describe jewellery, keyrings and a glossy cure under a nail lamp. The listing prints a 1 minute cure and says not water resistant. The unit count says 1.0 count. On 19 October 2026 it is the top pick for someone who already owns a lamp.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Clear jewellery and small casts if you already own a UV lamp.
Less suitable: A first kit with no lamp, or any piece that must be waterproof.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this YIEHO bottle include a UV lamp?
No. The included-components field is empty. Reviews describe a separate nail light, about two minutes a section.
What cure time does the listing print?
The full cure field says 1 minute. A UK review used a nail lamp for about two minutes and still had a short sticky period.
Is it listed as water resistant?
No. The water resistance field says not water resistant.
Let's Resin 500 g is about £18.99 and 4.6 from 3,772 reviews. It is the only listing here whose water field says water resistant. Reviews describe a clear cure for small jewellery, sometimes in about 2 minutes, and some tacky pours. The cure field says 15 minutes and the unit count says 1 count. No lamp is listed. The water line is a listing field, not a soak test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A large clear bottle when the water-resistant field matters to you.
Less suitable: The lowest price per 100 g, or a buyer who needs a lamp.
Specifications
Common questions
Does Let's Resin include a lamp?
No lamp is named. There is no included-components line.
Is it the water-resistant bottle in this comparison?
Yes. The water resistance field says water resistant. That is a listing field, not a soak test.
Why do the cure times disagree?
The field says 15 minutes. One UK jewellery review says about 2 minutes under a UV light.
The Bsrezn 400 g pack, at about £13.99, is four 100 g bottles and a manual, with no lamp. It is 4.6 from 3,247 amazon.co.uk reviews on its own file. UK reviews describe thin coats and a UV torch. The cure field is the unreadable string 3E+1 minutes. Among large independent review files, this is the best value on 19 October 2026 if you already have a lamp.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Several small bottles if you already own a lamp.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a printed cure time or a lamp in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the 400 g Bsrezn pack include a lamp?
No. Included components are four 100 g bottles and a user manual.
How long does the listing say it takes to cure?
The full cure field reads 3E+1 minutes, which is not a usable time. Reviews say thin layers and a UV torch or sunlight.
What does the listing say it sticks to?
The compatible material field says glass only. Reviews also describe painted rocks and clay magnets.
VidaRosa 100 g is about £8.99 with a 5 minute cure field and low-to-medium viscosity. The 4.6 from 641 reviews is the same text as the 500 g listing. Reviews praise a clear cure and also describe a strong smell that contradicts the odourless bullet. There is no lamp. Item volume is 496.8 cubic centimetres, which is not a 100 g fill.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small spare bottle if you already know the brand.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a separate review sample or a low-odour guarantee.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the 641-review score only for this 100 g bottle?
No. The same reviews appear on the VidaRosa 500 g listing.
Does the listing say it is odourless?
The bullet says low odour and odourless when fully cured. A UK review says the open bottle smelled for hours.
What is the listed volume?
496.8 cubic centimetres, which does not match a 100 g fill. Item weight is 170 g.
VidaRosa 500 g is the highest shelf price in the comparison at about £19.99. The 4.6 from 641 is the 100 g review file. This ASIN has no viscosity field and says not water resistant. There is no separate evidence that the 500 g bottle behaves like the 100 g bottle. The included line is one bottle of UV resin, the listed cure is 5 minutes, and there is no lamp. Item weight is 590 g.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only if you specifically want this 500 g listing and accept the shared reviews.
Less suitable: A value buy. Other 500 g bottles cost less and have their own reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
Are these 641 reviews about the 500 g bottle?
The same named reviews and the same count are on the 100 g VidaRosa listing. They are one block.
What does about £19.99 buy?
A 500 g title, 500 ml volume, item weight 590 g, and no lamp. Viscosity is not stated on this ASIN.
Does the listing say it is water resistant?
No. The field says not water resistant.
Suzzam 250 g is about £8.99 with a stick and cups and no lamp. The 4.6 from 595 review text is the same file as the 100 g Suzzam ASIN. The cure field says 3 minutes and the water line says not water resistant. A bullet claims hardness above 80D. Viscosity is listed as low to medium, and the compatible-materials line names colourants, glass, metal, mica powder and sequins. Shared reviews mention a hard clear cure and also micro-bubbles, so this 250 g title is not its own sample.
Pros
Cons
Best for: More resin per pound if you accept a shared review file.
Less suitable: A buyer who wants reviews that are only about the 250 g pack.
Specifications
Common questions
Are the 595 reviews only about this 250 g bottle?
No. The same review text and the same 4.6 from 595 line appear on the 100 g Suzzam listing.
What is in the box?
250 g UV resin, one mixing stick and silicone cups. No lamp.
What hardness does the bullet claim?
Higher than 80D. That is a listing claim, not a measurement in this comparison.
Suzzam 100 g is about £7.99 with a stick and cups. Stars are 4.6 from 595 on a review file shared with the 250 g listing. The cure field says 2 minutes and a bullet claims hardness above 80D. The water line says not water resistant. Shared reviews mention a hard clear cure and micro-bubbles.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A first 100 g bottle at a low shelf price.
Less suitable: Judging this pack from a review count that also covers 250 g.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a different product from the 250 g Suzzam?
The pack size differs. The review text and the 595 count are the same file.
What cure time is printed?
2 minutes on this ASIN. The bullet says 2 to 3 minutes under a 36 W lamp. The 250 g field says 3 minutes.
Is a lamp included?
No. You get the bottle, a mixing stick and silicone cups.
The Bsrezn kit is about £11.99 and lists two 100 g bottles, a 6 W lamp, a mat and gloves. It is 4.4 from 2,429 reviews. The unit count says 7.05 gram. UK reviews split between a useful starter box and a lamp that is too small or does not cure. One review reports a tacky surface and yellowing in the sun.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A cheap first box if a 6 W lamp is enough for thin clear coats.
Less suitable: Tinted or larger pieces that need a stronger lamp.
Specifications
Common questions
What lamp is in the kit?
The included line says a 6 W UV lamp, plus a mat, two disposable gloves and a manual.
Why is the unit count 7.05 gram?
That is what the listing field says. The title and the included line say 200 g of resin. The 7.05 gram figure conflicts with both.
Do reviews trust the lamp?
Some like the starter set. Others call the lamp tiny or say it did not cure the resin.
This Craft Resin kit is about £16.99 and the only listing that states a 36 W lamp. The bullet also claims two 100 g bottles, a mat, cups, sticks and gloves. It is 4.3 from 301 reviews. Model UV-500g, part number UV-300g, and the volume fields do not agree. Reviews include a lamp that would not turn on and resin that stayed tacky. The plug is not stated.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A beginner who wants a stated 36 W lamp in the same order.
Less suitable: Someone who already owns a lamp, or who needs the pack fields to match.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a lamp included?
The bullet says a 36 W lamp with 22 LEDs. The file does not state the plug type.
Do the pack fields agree?
No. Model UV-500g, part number UV-300g, unit count 200 ml, item volume 181.82 ml, and the bullet says two 100 g bottles.
What do reviews say about the lamp?
One review praises a large foldable lamp. Another says the lamp would not turn on. Another says the lamp cured a different resin but this resin stayed tacky.
Adiwo is the lowest shelf price at about £7.59 for a 100 g title. The model number is a cable-duct name and the volume is 1 cubic centimetre. A bullet claims 86D. Only two UK reviews are in the file, and both say you need your own lamp. The price is real. The listing identity is not.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A low-price trial only if the bottle you receive is actually resin.
Less suitable: A main bottle. The listing fields do not describe one product cleanly.
Specifications
Common questions
Why does the model number look wrong?
The model field reads Canalina passacavi adesiva, a cable-duct name. Item volume is 1 cubic centimetre. The title and the two UK reviews still describe UV resin.
Do you need a lamp?
Yes, according to a UK review. None is included. The bullet says 2 to 4 minutes under a UV lamp.
How many UK reviews are in the file?
Two. The star line is 4.2 from 16, and four of the six captured reviews are from Sweden, Italy or Spain.
Craft Resin 500 g is about £14.99 with no lamp and 3.9 from 1,106 reviews, the lowest star line in the comparison. Bullets claim 85D and food-safe. The model number is UV-300g. UK reviews include a shiny clay glaze and a later bottle that stayed tacky and looked yellow. The food-safe line has no data sheet in the listing. Do not treat that bullet as food-contact approval.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only if you accept the 3.9 score and check the pack on arrival.
Less suitable: A food mould, or a buyer who wants the strongest review score.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the model match the 500 g title?
No. Model and part number are UV-300g. The bullet says five 100 g bottles. Number of pieces is 3.
Does the listing say it is food safe?
A bullet says food-safe. There is no safety data sheet in the listing. Do not treat the bullet as food-contact approval.
What do recent reviews report?
3.9 from 1,106. Themes include a sticky cure, a yellow tint versus an older bottle, and a return instead of a replacement.
Twelve amazon.co.uk UV resin listings were scored on a 0–100 scale. Shelf prices, stars and review counts are from 19 October 2026. This is not a laboratory test. A bullet that says odourless, food-safe, anti-yellowing, or a one-minute cure is not scored as a measured result. A shared review file is counted once. Amazon evidence is 30 points, from the star rating, with a deduction when the count is small or when two ASINs share one review block. Listing fit is 35 points: a pack that matches the title, a readable cure field, and a clear yes or no on the lamp. Contradictory model, volume or piece-count lines are deducted. Review outcome is 20 points. A clear hard cure on a small piece scores higher than tack, a yellow batch, a dead lamp, or a smell that contradicts the bullet. Value is 15 points: the shelf price in GBP against a pack a review can actually describe. The lowest price does not score when the model field is not a resin code or the review file is shared. The highest score is the top pick. The best resin per pound among bottles with several thousand independent reviews, after the broken cure field is already noted, is the best value.

Match the job to a thin layer the light can reach, then check the lamp, the pack mass and whether the review count belongs to that ASIN. A printed cure time is a thin-layer claim. A water-resistant field is not a soak test.
UV resin is a one-part liquid that stays workable until a UV lamp cures it. UK shoppers use it for jewellery, charms, small moulds and a clear coat on polymer clay. It is not two-part epoxy. You judge a listing by whether the pack mass matches the title, whether the review count belongs to that ASIN, and whether the cure-time field is a real number. A sound result is a thin clear layer that goes hard under a lamp you trust.
Open bezels and coats a few millimetres thick suit UV resin. A coaster, tray or deep single pour belongs with two-part epoxy. Curing only the top face leaves a soft centre.
VidaRosa's two sizes share one 641-review block. Suzzam's two sizes share one 595-review block. Do not add those counts. A cure field that reads 3E+1 minutes is not a time. A model code that is not a resin code is not a pack you can trust from the title alone.
Those lines are not tests. Almost every water field says not water resistant. One field says water resistant, and that is not a soak test. A food-safe bullet with no data sheet is not food-contact approval. Uncured resin needs nitrile gloves and ventilation.
Open bezels, domes and coats a few millimetres thick suit UV resin. A coaster, tray or deep single pour belongs with two-part epoxy, because the light has to reach the liquid. Resin-only bottles assume you already own a lamp. A useful lamp for clear work is often about 24–48 W. A 6 W lamp is slow beyond a thin film. A 36 W lamp is not the same tool. A mains lamp should be 230 V with a BS 1363 plug. These listings do not state one.
Prefer a title mass that agrees with the unit count. Contradictory model codes, piece counts and volumes are deducted. A shared review file is counted once: VidaRosa 100 g and 500 g are one 4.6-from-641 block, and Suzzam 100 g and 250 g are one 4.6-from-595 block. YIEHO is 4.6 from 5,434 on its own file. The Bsrezn 400 g pack is 4.6 from 3,247 on its own file. Hard-type and low viscosity match jewellery. A one-minute field does not mean a thick pour.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a clear hard bottle and a review file that belongs to that ASIN. YIEHO 500 g is the top pick at about £16.99, 4.6 from 5,434 reviews, with no lamp in the box. The listing prints a 1 minute cure and says not water resistant.
You already own a lamp and want more than one bottle. The Bsrezn 400 g pack is the best value at about £13.99: four 100 g bottles, 4.6 from 3,247 reviews on its own file. The cure field reads 3E+1 minutes, which is not a usable time.
You do not own a lamp. The Craft Resin kit at about £16.99 states a 36 W, 22-LED lamp. It is 4.3 from 301 reviews, and the pack fields do not agree. A 6 W kit is cheaper, and a 6 W lamp is slow past a thin film.
The top pick is YIEHO clear UV resin at about £16.99: a 500 g bottle, 4.6 from 5,434 amazon.co.uk reviews on its own file, and no lamp in the box. Reviews describe jewellery, keyrings and a glossy cure under a nail lamp. The listing prints a 1 minute cure and says not water resistant. The best value is the Bsrezn 400 g pack at about £13.99, four 100 g bottles, 4.6 from 3,247 reviews on its own file, if you already have a lamp. Its cure field is the unreadable string 3E+1 minutes. Neither bottle is a waterproof or food-contact resin. A shared review block is counted once.
Bsrezn UV resin, 400 g
Best resin per pound among bottles with several thousand independent reviews: about £13.99, 4.6 from 3,247, four 100 g bottles. The cure field is unreadable.
