*Themaximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. In individual cases, there are criticisms that the curing does not take place as expected. On the other hand, the crystal-clear and odourless exposide resin as well as the good curing are positively emphasised. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the simple handling and easy mixing are well received by customers. However, consumer criticism of the difficult curing process was not justified.
Prices of up to €39.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €18.99 . The exposide resin from RESIN4DECOR is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €29.90. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
