As someone who uses resin almost daily, I’ve been looking for ways to reduce waste. Using silicone makes this easy. I find the easiest way to reuse cups is by allowing the resin to cure with a stir stick in it and then to pull the stick out and usually it all comes out in one piece.
The inside of the cups are pretty smooth (some cups have ridges), making it easier to thoroughly stir, which is very important when using resin or it won’t cure properly.
The flexibility of the silicone allows for a controlled pour which is great when pouring resin into molds. I had less of a mess and wasted less resin as a result. The small cups work perfectly for separately mixing different colored resin.
I’m sure I will get tons of use out of these durable silicone cups. The pipettes, stir sticks, and finger cots are nice to have when you’re getting started and want to get all your supplies in one place without guesswork. I provided pics in case someone needs help with size reference. Hope this helps.
This set is fantastic for those who love making resin art! It's pretty ingenius: silicone measuring/pouring cups and bowls for easy using and cleaning. This set comes with everything you need other than the main essentials. The silicone is thick and durable, and it's just about perfect for various types of resin art. Great set!
The tiny, flexible cups are perfect for tinting resin and pouring it with precision. The measuring cups seem accurate, because I was able to pour both parts into the same cup, mixed it thoroughly with a wooden stir stick, and it cured perfectly in the molds. Being made of silicone makes the measuring cups and pour cups reusable, so you don't have to throw away a cup for every color you mix. Just let the resin harden inside the cups overnight (a full cure isn't necessary, but do wait until it's solid), then use your hand to rub it down with soapy water. The smaller cups are especially easy to clean, because you can turn those inside out and rub them down with the palm of your hand.
The kit itself is the perfect combo of items for mixing smaller batches of resin. I mix a clear batch in the big cup, then separate that out into the smaller cups for colouring and such.
However, despite some reviews stating the contrary, the raised measurements on the large cups are on the INSIDE of the cups on mine, not the outside. This means resin dries in the crevices, making cleaning fiddly and a bit more time consuming. They aren't ruined or anything. They can be cleaned. It just defeats the purpose of having the silicone cups in the first place. I got them so the resin would harden and come right out in one piece, which doesn't happen. I will probably keep them as a backup and find better replacements.
The small cups are a good small size, easy to grip, and easy to pour into smaller molds.
The wooden sticks are fine and what you'd expect. I do like that the stirrers are thin. I also break them in half to use on the smaller cups.
I have yet to use the pipettes so no comments there.
I should note that I didn't get any finger cots in my pack. I had no plans to use them so I don't miss them, but if they're important to you, take note.
I bought these silicone cups to use for mixing paints when I am doing my painting. I really like how flexible they are but sturdy also. I also like the droppers for adding other colors without adding too much so I can get the color I want. And of course I use the wooden sticks to mix with. You can also use these for making cakes to mix the food coloring for different color cakes. I have also done this with some of the cups. I recommend these for artists of all kinds.

I love having reusable mixing containers that are simple to clean if you just let the resin dry. So far they’re holding up nicely, but the little pour cups are really bendy and require a steady hand not to hold to firmly. Great to pour in small areas bc so flexible. One thing I’d change is the placement of markings on measurement cups, they’re inside which makes it difficult to scrape the sides while stirring 2 part resin. I’d definitely recommend.
The mail lady dropped them off just in time. I actually wish I knew about these earlier because it's so much better to reuse these instead of throwing out all the cups after a project. I like that you can squeeze the cups and they have a little spout to be able to use in smaller projects when you don't want a big blob coming out.
Using resin on jewelry is a pain, and if you don't mix it just right, you've ruined your piece. These silicone cups are perfect! The markings are clear, the utensils are very useful, and once the residue in the cup is dry, it comes out easily. I use resin on polymer clay jewelry, and this was a perfect solution.
I love this product. I actually bought it twice! I use resin and this is a dream for resin! It peels off and washes easily with soap and water. All the pieces are great for resin so a must have combo. I use these pieces EVERY SINGLE time I work with resin. You need and want these. Thank me later! Lol
We make decorative tins. An old postcard like picture or old roadmap is glued to the top of the tin and resin is poured over to make a clear dome. To get it smooth and without bubbles it needs to be carefully poured. They work great and comes clean right after use.
