The only blind boxes I know are those little toy collections you purchase in an opaque wrapper or box. You don't know which one you got until you've paid. Generally some kind of licensed product, so movie/TV characters, or whatever else will get a child to talk their parents into spending money. There are others aimed at adults, too, like mini versions of classic branded products (Kitchenaid stand mixer, Kraft mac and cheese box, etc)
Those mini verse often contain UV resin, without thoroughly explaining the safety risks of working with resin. It’s kind of amazing how they are able to get away with selling those kits - children certainly by them too.
Resin releases fumes and can cause you to develop a permanent sensitivity. Some of the kits are designed in such a way that the resin isn’t going to fully cure unless you do it in thin layers.
Me too but those are not really tech, they're a classic carnival item
Yeah, that's why I'm less than sure it's the right thing. All I can say is that they seem to be more popular as a category in stores over the last five to ten years than before.
