How transparent can you get resin prints? Many clear resins turn yellow over time, so when Nova3D released their High Transparency resin which claims great clarity with no yellowed, I knew I had to give it a shot. So this is my initial experiments with that resin, and my attempts to polish, clear coat, and add mineral oil to get it as clear as possible.

Thank you NOVA3D for providing the resin to experiment with.
