amazing clear cast is low odor, slow curing, and is very popular in the hobby jewelry crafts... tbh i think any slow curing resin is wut u shud look for. the fast curing ones get so hot and steamy and smelly.

Still has an odor when you mix it - not as much after.  Also - pro-tip, use it with a countertop oven set at 150 for 40 min or so.  Makes slow curing resin fast.  Read the data sheets for whatever you have.  Exothermic reactions are just heat causing the cure - more heat faster cure.
