CSD2078 is an 18 minute open time clear urethane resin. The hardener may appear a little yellowish, but once mixed it cures water clear and has UV inhibitors to provide better performance than the other leading hobby urethane product. This is the same resin used in all of our DiamondCast products.
This resin is made here in the US in Michigan.
