Upgraded Resin Mixer, Handheld Rechargeable Mixer with Minimizing Bubbles,Epoxy Resin Mixer for Resin, Silicone Mixing, Resin Molds, DIY Crafts (Included 4 pcs Paddles) (Blue)

This is a simple device, a 5 volt 1500 mAh rechargeable battery using USB C cable (included.)It started when I removed it from the carrying tray protecting it inside the box. The switch in the middle of the handle is OFF in the middle position, while pushing it down towards the mixing paddle will produce a clockwise rotation and a blue light will indicate a right turning direction. Pushing the switch up produces a counter-clockwise motion with another blue light indicating a left turning direction. The paddles (4) are 2 larger and 2 smaller size. Putting the shaft into the motor unit takes a little force because it fits tightly, and it snaps in securely. Removing the paddle also takes some pulling because of the tight fit, THESE paddles WON'T be coming out by themselves or wobbling as they're being turned! The speed control is a rounded knob on the other end from the paddle. The stated rotation rates are 50 RPM to 300 RPM. It was running on whatever residual charge the battery had from QC Testing, so a full charge (in 2 to 3 hours) would enable the full-speed rotation for a considerable time. This is a good-looking tool, and it appears to be well constructed, but the instructions suffer because a translation will sometimes be difficult to understand.>> "The product can be changed to charging side work, no need to worry about insufficient power can not be used." (???)The important thing is to find out how long you can expect the mixer to run with a particular substance (Like Epoxy or Silicone) and NOT have to be recharged in order to keep working. Using the slower speeds is probably a better idea until you know more. If you do this a lot you might already have another mixer ready to take over. This is probably a good idea anyway, because once you start mixing and then have to wait for the recharge your 2 part mix might be ruined as it starts to cure.A motorized mixer will give much better results than hand-mixing, but you need to know what it can do.

Only 2 speeds and 1 extra paddle. I have a large jar of alcohol and drop in the paddle right after mixing. Slow and creates a lot of bubbles but easy on arthritis and resin mixingWouldn't use for drinks or smoothly. Motor too weak

Perfect for resin and art work painting!

The Upgraded Handheld Rechargeable Resin Mixer has significantly improved my resin crafting experience. Its multiple speed settings and dual-direction spinning capabilities allow for thorough mixing of various resin viscosities, reducing the formation of air bubbles. The inclusion of four easy-to-clean paddles adds to its versatility and convenience.​The ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold during extended use, and the rechargeable feature ensures portability without the hassle of cords. However, it's worth noting that the charging cable is relatively short, which might require positioning near a power source during charging. Additionally, while the mixer performs well, the 4-minute timer function may not be sufficient for all mixing needs, depending on the resin type and project size.​Overall, this resin mixer offers a practical solution for both novice and experienced crafters seeking efficiency and ease in their projects. Its thoughtful features and reliable performance make it a valuable addition to any resin artist's toolkit.

The media could not be loaded. This thing works great with resin and it’s super easy to charge with the USB cable. Really happy with how it mixes. There’s a couple small and large tips you can choose from. This thing has been great for our resin project with my wedding flowers!

1st, the long, oval button on the side of the mixer SLIDES up and down to turn on the mechanism, and by sliding to the top or the bottom, you will change the movement from clockwise to counter-clockwise. (I found the directions a bit difficult to follow, due to the translation from Chinese to English.) 2nd, twisting the top "cap" of the wand will increase or decrease the speed of the blades. I have only used this one time (mixing 25 oz of resin) but I found that, in the beginning, resting the blades on the bottom of the cup, scraping along the sides of the cup, and moving in this circular motion along the sides and into the center of the resin while slowly moving upwards to the top of the cup, then once at the top, reversing the direction (clockwise or in the other direction) of the blade-turning and continuing to scrape the sides and move in a circle into the center of the resin as well, as you work your way back to the bottom of the cup. IMPORTANT: as you approach the resin at the top, DO NOT LET THE BLADES GO ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE RESIN....it will create bubbles! It's very hard to tell exactly where the top of the blades are within the resin, so move slowly as you begin to approach the surface! I had almost no bubbles showing in the mixing cup, but did need to torch the resin on the canvases a few times to remove the bubbles which appeared here and there. I find that putting your face at eye-level with your paintings, allows you to see the bubbles or other problem areas more easily. NB: charging the mixer takes about 2-3 hours. Once charged, I had circumstances which did not allow me to start the resining for 2 more days. When I plugged in the mixer, the button was red, but after about 10 mins of charging, it seems to have brought the mixer back to a full charge, and I was able to start mixing. I also keep a narrow glass jar filled w/ isopropyl alcohol to put the blade after use, to keep the resin from drying on it permanently.... cleaning it w/ paper towels once I have finished with the canvases, and then putting a lid on the jar. There are 2 lengths of blade handles.

The build quality is better than expected. I really like this product, it has made mixing my epoxy so so much better. I recommend this. And value for money is good.

Pros: the mixer is light, not very loud, has a variety of speed settings, can mix upward and downward, and has a variety of mixer sizesCon's: even the slowest speed setting is way too fast and creates a lot of bubbles. I actually just ended up using the silicone mixer to hand stir it.
