Good morning,
I've used the Resin Paste one time and my experience was not particularly satisfying; however, before continuing I must point out that I like Magic Resin (deep pour) so I'm inclined to be positive until ... I'm not.
Some of the containers were less that 1/2 full and dried out - maybe their natural state in the wild? The paste, when added to the resin, tended to 'clump' and required vigourous stirring to break it up. In the end, I simply removed the remaining (smaller) clumps and allowed the resin to do its magic. The end result was good and the colours deep & rich.
Your concern is, of course, would I buy more paste... probably not, at least until I try several more pours.
