EpoxAcast 690 and 692 feature a very low viscosity for easy mixing and minimal bubble entrapment. Castings cure with negligible shrinkage and are very hard and strong.

Material should be poured at an ambient temperature of 70°F/21°C. See Creating Epoxy Resin Tables Technical Bulletin for details. Review: Great clear epoxy. Requires a little patience. - Very good product. It requires two things to work properly: 1) Shake the epoxy bottle well before each use. Not sure why this important but it is. 2) Measure both the epoxy and the hardener BY WEIGHT 10:3 ! It takes about 48 hours to set completely. Users, who complain about the epoxy never setting, didn't do the wight ratio correctly. Review: Really Clear And Easy - The best "clear" material I've tried for casting. And 'clear' is really clear. The only, slightest drawback, is that the stuff does take 24-48 hours to cure/harden. Thinner stuff takes longer. It performed exactly as the directions suggested. I used a toothpick to chase away some bubbles-- I had plenty of time to do that in. There was no odor. One must certainly observe the usual cautions-- ventilation is a good thing and gloves are a must! I would throw in eye protection because things do get flipped around. The need of a gram scale is also a must! It also says there is a limited shelf life-- but I planned for that by making several molds to cast many of the same thing at one time. I also made use of their "life extender" can of dry gas. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IRC42PC | | Best Sellers Rank | #168,347 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #1,069 in Sculpture Molding & Casting Products | | Brand | Smooth-On | | Brand Name | Smooth-On | | Color | Clear | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Container Type | Can | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 66 Reviews | | Full Cure Time | 24 Hours | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Manufacturer | Smooth-On | | Material | Epoxy Resin , Resin | | Material Type | Epoxy Resin, Resin | | Model | EpoxAcast 690 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Very low viscosity, long working time, high strength, wood compatibility, and colorant compatibility | | Part Number | Epoxacast690 | | Special Feature | Very low viscosity, long working time, high strength, wood compatibility, and colorant compatibility | | UPC | 751635036413 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Viscosity Level | Low | | Volume | 16 Fluid Ounces | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Smooth-On - **Color:** Clear - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Material:** Epoxy Resin, Resin - **Special Feature:** Very low viscosity, long working time, high strength, wood compatibility, and colorant compatibility ## Images ![EpoxAcast 690 - Clear Castable Epoxy - Pint Unit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ElZJTIN0L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it food safe?** A: If you are asking if it is bpa free or any of the other healthy plastics, then I would not recommend this product. However, it does cure incredibly hard. It is a strong chemical process. I wear a chemical respirator when pouring it **Q: What is the shelf life of this product after open?** A: Alas, the enclosed use and safety material does not say! My memory from something off the website tells me it's something like "use within a year of opening." Of course they -- and I -- recommend their dry gas life extender. But the loose time estimate is not how I use casting resins-- I am happier when it's a long time. **Q: Im trying to make clear pistol grips, is there a suggested mold kit or type that should be used?** A: Micro Mark has a reasonable, all-in-one kit (that only needs a small gram scale) that will do any job. The complication is only what type of grip are you attempting? If flat, easiest possible. A larger one-piece or wrap-around type-- insanely complex for a first time. Study up on tutorials and you'll see what I mean. Hardly impossible and the materials are more forgiving than ever but, for example a Hogue wrap around type is a real pain no matter your experience level. so study up and see if you can start on something small first-- merely to get your "work flow" down. **Q: Will the epoxy remove easily from a silicone mold? Also, can the cure time be decreased by increasing the temperature?** A: Yes, the epoxy removes very easily from a silicone mold. Also, I have heard that increasing the heat will speed up the cure time, but I haven't tried it, so you could give it a go. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great clear epoxy.

Definitely my favorite clear resin out there; and I did so so so much research on this. $50 is pretty expensive, but $50 for the size of this is actually a very good deal compared to other resins. I tried another resin that I bought from hobby lobby or some other art store and it was like play dough due to its softness. It didn’t harden at all. reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 was because of a slow cure time. The advertised cure times are usually longer than that in my experience. I had to wait multiple days for it to fully harden and I was a little upset with that and contacted smooth on. They said it could be many factors. I was curing my resin inside my house and the temperature was pretty normal so I should expect longer cure times than stated. However, I think this is a problem with all epoxy resins. It often states a cure time but usually takes longer than that (in my experience). If you want crystal clear and a resin that cures like a rock, this is your choice. Just be patient (unlike me) and wait 3 or 4 days until you touch it so you know that it is 100% cured. On so many molds (probably near 20), I demolded after like 24 hours or sometimes even over night and I ruined and bent my molds. I was just super excited to see the coloring effects and the Petri dish effects I tried. It is super thrilling to see how good your experimentation was. And All praise and thanks is due to Allah. ## Frequently Bought Together - Smooth-On EpoxAcast 690 - Clear Castable Epoxy - Pint Unit - Smooth-On Mold Star 30-1A:1B Mix by Volume Platinum Silicone Rubber - Pint Unit - Smooth-On Universal Mold Release - 14 Fluid Ounce Aerosol Can --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/82399620-epoxacast-690-clear-castable-epoxy-pint-unit](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/82399620-epoxacast-690-clear-castable-epoxy-pint-unit) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
