Cheap resin for using in J/Bs

[drew1000]

Looking to source some cheap resin to use in junction boxes used for wiring exterior lights. Hoping you guys can point me to a supplier or product you have used in the past that's not to expensive

I generally use Raytech Magic Gel, but it is not cheap but re-enterable and can be partially removed & then topped up (and also reuse the bits you remove, if need be). Better to buy e.g. two x 500ml bottles, which cost a little under £50, and will do a number of smaller e.g. Wiska 206 or 308 junction boxes. You can buy smaller quantities but then it gets even more expensive.

If you want hard curing resin, maybe someone else can suggest something.

It's probably cheaper just to use SWA type resin joints than buying resin separately and using it a normal junction box that's probably got a relatively big internal volume. It's also not advisable to use GP resin from a hardware store because it's not guaranteed as being moisture free. Not sure about UK prices but we pay the equivalent of about a £3.50 for a small no-name resin joint kit that would be suitable for garden lights.
