I think if you had used a lamp and allowed it to stay covered with the lamp for 2 minutes, you would of found that mess would of not been there. I have only experienced UV resin since I started playing with resin, and I don't have leaks in my layers or colors. I also do the same amount of time on the bottom as I do the tops. That's the key, is longer UV time.

Haven't finished the video yet but I wanted to suggest putting a little bit of resin in the mould and tilting it so the entire curved surface is covered and quickly curing it. Kind of like how you make filled chocolates - sort of a shell. That way there isn't anywhere for the resin to leak when you do the coloured "filling".

New user here, and I’ve only used UV resin so far. I’ve watched tons of instructional videos, but only in random order. I’ve wasted SO MUCH resin trying to get cool alcohol ink effects, and I blamed only my own inadequacies for my failures. You’ve honestly made me feel better, knowing that it was a losing scenario from the start, but I sure wish I’d stumbled across this video sooner!

I am coming to the conclusion that there aren't any cool color blending or swirl techniques for uv resin. If there are any, I haven't found them yet. Very sad, considering that is all I can work with.

Did you know my Freind . Get some Titanium dioxide white and add 0.5 grams and ten drops of a non alcohol ink. The oil based I think then top up to ten mil using alcohol aka isopropanol and you have your own sinker for a fraction of the cost. I don't buy it any more I just make my own so much cheaper but 🤫 don't want to put companies out of productions. Iike let's resin 👌 give it a go . Trust. Titanium dioxide white is like £3-4 for 50 grams. Makes you think why is sinker so expensive 🤷🤷🤷🤷🤔🧐🤨🫤🤦💨💥🙆

So it can be done just not with a hand held uv light, I have the table top UV lamp. I do a layer of clear first, then cure. Then my ink layer. Cure. Turn it over cure, turn it back over and if I need more resin I add it.

It wasn’t the alcohol inks that were the problem, I think. I think the layers didn’t have enough time to cure.

Oops my comment went thru too soon. Anyway I don't particularly like uv resin cuz it is so messy and my brand is horrible smelling and without a mask, it makes my face numb. But even with open back or closed back cabochons, I will use two part. My uv ones were awful, I even let them sit in sun outside all day after using a lamp and left them in windowsill for a month where sun shined on them every day and they were still leaking! Forget that mess. 😃

@JudiHodgkin Жыл бұрын

Yup. Time under the light is key. An inexpensive lamp (not LED) for gel nails works. Leave each layer under the lamp for at least 5 mins to cure. You can also leave it out in the sun to cure. But that’s less predictable in the UK 😂!

I don't like or use 2 part. (I'm impatient). Lol. And I've never tried it in UV because I just assumed it wouldn't mix well. So thank you for doing this so I could see!

@summerlarue Жыл бұрын

I’m glad I only watched resin get wasted instead of also wasting my own. Thank you!

@MizJaniceResinArt

You might try using a tiny dot of ink on a toothpick, swirl directly into the resin. Less ink than for 2 part.

@Martina1192

I wish I saw this video before! That was the first mistake I did last night too, after getting all the supplies. Had no idea about UV resin and alcohol ink.

@willbezee4696

Thank you, i was actually just going to buy somw alcohol ink to use on my uv resin. I appreciate yoir video ❤

@DreamsInColor71

Oh how far you’ve come! ❤

@jeannebean7353 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for confirming my suspension about using UV resin the way you do two part epoxy resin. I thought you might have a way of doing it that wasn’t a disaster like mine. Now I see it just a waste of us resin. Thank you Daniel!!!

@rhondagover9237 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for that, I tried alcohol ink in UV before I knew better it was mostly a mess, I make primarily jewelry and dry with a lamp or torch them always put it in the sun for a few minutes on both sides before demolding. otherwise it's always a bit sticky. I have been making a few coasters and phone grips with 2 part. I have had a real fading problem with the alcohol ink so I've been trying the mica powder/alcohol mix it works well if you get the right mix lol. thanks for all your videos they are a great help.

@SeonasStudio Жыл бұрын

I’ve done this with some success. Trick is to cure it both sides, and leave it in the mold until the alcohol has drie,d and then seal the inks with another layer of resin. May as well just use 2part with all that fuss.

@simplywirefull Жыл бұрын

Thank you for trying to get UV resin to work with alcohol ink. I have been moderately successful as well. I will try leaving it a bit longer and see what happens. I really enjoy your work. Thanks again, you're the best.

Nu. 😱 Hi Daniel, unfortunately I don't understand what you say from the video but from the title, I think it's just a waste of UV. Thanks for the demonstration. 😊
