This bundle gets you a 2.5 kg jug of Hero HD Merchant Grey (The Table Gamers' Resin™) and the full 10 color InstantEffect™ One Coat Color and Shade Box Set for $139.90.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBought separately, that's $239.90. You save $100. The resin alone is $159.95, so the bundle actually costs less than the jug by itself. That's essentially getting the paint set for free. It also works out to about $56 per kg of resin. And if you're in the lower 48, shipping is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a November 2026 offer only, and only while supplies last. The 2.5 kg jugs are limited, and once they're gone, so is the bundle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 jug of Hero HD Merchant (Dark) Grey, 2.5 kg (label reads HHD9). It's a deep, dark blue shade of grey that makes every detail pop, and it's our most popular color for Merchant printers. Regular price $159.95.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 InstantEffect™ One Coat Color and Shade Box Set. Ten bottles, 30 ml (1.0 fl oz) each, water based, made to go directly on the surface. Regular price $99.95, currently $79.95.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ten colors are Void Black, OxBlood, Jade Sapphire, Troll Hide, Ultra Violet, Pure Yellow, Pure Red, Cyan Rift, Bog Oak and DryBrush White.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe resin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHero HD was made for tabletop miniatures, terrain and gaming pieces that actually get played with. It's built to handle being picked up, dropped, packed in a bag and used again, without losing sharp detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's tough and a little flexible. Elongation is 30 to 35%, so weapons, fingers and thin walls bend instead of snapping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShore D hardness is 77, so a cured print feels solid in your hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt prints on 365 nm, 395 nm and 405 nm printers. Viscosity is 550 to 650 cP, which flows well and holds detail on busy builds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinear shrinkage is under 1%, and it takes paint well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hero HD line is also thermally curable, and that part is up to you. Curing with heat makes prints tougher and cleaner, and it's becoming the preferred method for Merchant printers. Run it at 215 to 275°F for at least an hour. UV curing is optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe paint\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstantEffect™ goes straight onto your print. Brush it on and you get color and shading in the same pass, because it settles into the recesses and brings out the detail you printed. Thicker areas give you more depth, and thin layers give you finer detail. There's no priming and no layering unless you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree ways to paint, all in one box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlapChop.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry brush DryBrush White over your print to pick out the raised detail, then brush the colors over it.

Blend DryBrush White into any color to make more traditional opaque colors like flesh tones and pastels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAirbrush.\u003c\/strong\u003e Run the colors through your airbrush undiluted to paint or prime models fast without clogging the nozzle.

It works on resin prints, FDM models, minis and terrain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's meant for people who want the squad finished tonight, not next month.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat customers say about InstantEffect™\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\"I definitely see myself skipping priming and going straight to base coating.

Super easy to use and goes on like a dream!\" Dawn R., 5 stars\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the resin side, the reviewer Variance Hammer looked at the original HERO resin and called it \"a really great, high performance resin\" with solid detail and real durability on thin, bendy parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePaint Safety and Handling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstantEffect paints are water based acrylics, made for hobby and miniature painting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdult supervision is needed when children use these paints. Keep them out of reach of young children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen airbrushing, work in a well ventilated area, ideally with a spray booth. Wear a respirator or mask rated for paint mist so you do not breathe the spray.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid contact with your eyes. If paint gets in, rinse with clean water and get medical help if irritation continues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash with soap and water after handling, and before eating or drinking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not eat or drink the paint. If swallowed, rinse your mouth with water and call a doctor or poison control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean brushes and airbrushes with water before the paint dries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep caps closed tight.
