For those who literally just wanna watch her apply the resin 8:41

Thank you Katie! Your pieces are always so gorgeous!

Love your pendants! You’re so talented!! Thank you for sharing

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I had been struggling with resin m work and had to scrap a lot of my work because of it. I followed your instructions and for the first time I got the results I wanted. Thanks so much.........a fan!

Thank you. That was really useful. I was having a problem resining translucent clay and I think my issue was not enough resin. I tried one after watching your video and it worked fine. On to the rest!

Thank you the silicone drip mat idea, helped me. A very frustrating problem are large puddles under my cabochons.

Thanks for a helpful and clear video! Beautiful work!

Your work is beautiful. Very helpful video. Thanks!

Katie...I love your stuff.

Another great video. I should've watched this one first! 😁 You have a great video presence and teaching style, and I think you come across as a natural on You Tube. I've watched a lot of poly clay videos and avidly follow a few You Tubers; I shall be adding your channel to my list of faves. More gorgeous beads and lots of techniques there; I'd love to know how you did them. Thanks again for all the useful tips!! 🤗😊

I love your tutorial and find your voice to be very clear and easy to listen to for all you tutorials. I also have a question about UV resin DecorRom

I'm a new member of your group! after seeing your survey post about someone critique of your video I had to check you out for myself I love the tone of your voice and for me i have only started just conditioning and practice getting the thickness and shapes.. I need a real time video I find that you give many experiences along the way so hope I can learn by your example

Hi Katie. I'm somewhat new to resins, both UV and the standard 2 part epoxy. I tried the Limino brand UV resin but it left an oily residue, but then I tried the DecorRom and it works perfectly and cured to a nice smooth hard finish, so thank you for the recommendation. I love how your tutorials are down to earth. You "tell it like it is", and I really appreciate and respect you for that. Keep up the great work.

Thank for you help with uv resin over polymer clay. Will purchase Decor Rom and give it a try . Thanks again for sharing.

This is priceless information. I have about 10 bottle of up resin and each time I use it, I screw it up. I’m writing as I’m listening. Yes, I get the warp and it always ends up dripping down the sides. So frustrating. I’ll try the tape. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you so very much, Ms. Katie, for your wonderful tutorials demonstrating polymer clay craft techniques! I just love all your videos! I am reasonably new to polymer clay! I used to try to do beads in the 1990's but was less than thrilled back then because I did not have the advantage of having a computer with You-Tube and all the current tutorials! I never knew back then what people did to polish or buff the clay pieces, and I bought a clay fish pin that was very exquisite where one of the tail fins on the piece cracked off. I was so frustrated that I gave up, thinking that all polymer clay for any jewelry would easily crack or break! Hopefully, by using a better polymer clay than Sculpey II or III and cooking the pieces longer will help eliminate the chances of that happening now! I am hoping that, almost 25 years after that earlier experience, the quality of clay and the techniques used have evolved to be better over the meantime. I used to make some unpolished beads to use with some mixed media macramé arts and crafts on a small scale despairing that jewelry with polymer would never work for me. I am so thankful that you and others have taken their personal expense and time to so very patiently teach people like me, who am not a talented fine artist, to succeed in making gifts for others and for my own personal use! I would like to wish you a truly awesome Valentine's Day 2023 and hope you will be happy and well for Spring and Summer of 2023 !!! 🤩💓💜🐢🦀🌈🌟

Thank you so much for your help. The stickiness went away the next day. No more 3 coats for sure.

Thank you for sharing this!

I find the uv flashlight very helpful as well.

Meu Deus...como eu ia amar,se tivesse a opção tradução 😉...amei sua vídeo aula. Gratidão 🥰🌹

Beautiful thank you Katie

15:38 Geez!! That is gorgeous!!

Thank you Katie! xx

Excellent Thanks.

this was a very well done tutorial and very helpful to me. Thank you

Thank you for this. So for the sides of your pieces... the resin just sort of drips down onto the sides? Or do you do something special to the sides?

Beautiful work , do you seal your paint before you put on the resin

Thanks for the tutorial, it’s much needed. Sometimes the resin pours over the edge of my pendants and inevitably messes up the bottom of it. (I’m guessing I might be using too much resin at a time. What can I do to avoid this from happening? I’d also like to know what is the best mat to left the pendant on so, if it the resin runs it won’t go under the pendant. Thanks so much….

Hi Katie, I loved your video! Best one of I’ve seen, thank you! One question, is the torch mandatory?

Thank You 🙏

I needed this vid so bad🙌 I just started making polymer clay jewelry and it’s a lot of fun. Do you have a video on polishing!? Because idk why but after sanding down the resin edges I can’t seem to get it to really shine again when polishing. Which which sucks because I’m also no where near good enough to make anything without needing to sand something off. Part of that I just learned from your vid is because of the mat I use when curing. It is totally flat and creates flat patched on the bottoms whatever I’m working on, so I just went to Amazon and found the type of mat you mentioned which is so much better

What wattage is best for a UV light? I currently have an LED version for nail gels, but have no idea what power it is.

Best tutorial yet

The one that looks like a stain glass is awesome how do you make that one

When you dome both sides is it going to pull up each time?

Hi Katie! Great resin video... thanx sooo much. Can you do a foil or foil flakes with clay video, please? Thanx! 👍🥰😉

Do you sand and buff before using resin on your pieces?

What about combating shrinkage with uv resin?

Do you put resin on both sides with jewelry?

Great tutorial. Thank you! Do you finish the sides of your pendant with anything or do you just resin the top and not do anything to the sides and back? Thx 😊

What about the sides? Do you resin them?

Do you have a tutorial for the stained glass!looking earring/pendant?

I was just wondering how long to leave my piece in the UV light for compleat cure so this was very helpful. Thank you

Ok so I need a torch for any uv resin? Because they don't mention that on Amazon.

How come the mat is different in the light than you put the resin on please

Do you have to resin the back?

Do I have to use a torch? I have a heat gun.

Do you think this method would work for pieces made with air dry type clay? I've been using the liquid stuff and often get ripples and, of course, bubbles, but they are tiny. Thanks Katie!

Great tutorial! does the fisheye problem ever accord with uv resin? how do you prevent it? thanks

What is the wattage of your UV light, please

I have watched many artists use a torch gun on resin. I understand that it is highly flammable. Have you ever had one light up? What advice would you give to beginners about it? Thank you for all of your sharing.😊🌈👍🌼🌺

it is waterproof?

Hi Again, this my question about UV Resin DecorRom: It’s a 4 x 3 in. Pendant I make. When I resined it with 3 coats And curing it under us light it can out sticky.

How long have you been using this decorom product? Have you been able to keep pieces and look at them a year + later? I'm wondering if these yellow over time?

I also use Decor Rom and I cure it in the right time and if I start touching the charm way too often, it starts getting matte and greasy and even when I clean it, it doesn't get as shiny as when it comes just out of th uv light. What could I do? :(

Beautiful!! I stopped making clay items because I could never get the same results with my items i made. I use premo clay i bake it on a tile with heavy foil covering the clay i bake it at 275 for an hour. My pieces are always brittle with no bend or flexibility to them they break very easily. I’m not making the item super thin. Ive tried baking them a little longer or a little less time. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong?? I’ve seen a tun of videos where they make very delicate clay pieces and the have a tun of flexibility. Mine would just break. Also the clay i was using was new?????? It you have any advise i would love to hear it.. but i would think that the resin would help a lot! But i really do want to know what I’m doing wrong.

How do you resin the sides? Or do you ? Love your work.

amazing work !! question. I just bought the 500g decorom resin, i have a 54w uv led lamp and the rising keeps been sticky almost like it docent cure.. Any suggestions?

hi Katie! i use the same uv resin for my polymer clay rings and i cured them for more than 10 min with a 36w uv lamp but they still sticky! do u recommend to buy a lamp with a higher wattage? or this one would work fine? thank you so much for your video and sorry if i made some mistakes, i’m spanish 💖

Do you need to wear any protective mask like a gas mask? I heard some resin is toxic

I purchased a hildie & Jo resin craft curing lamp before watching your video and I'm not certain I purchased the correct one. It says it's 36W UV. Is that sufficient enough? I love your work!

Can you use a flashlight type thing with that resin? I've never used resin yet and just did my first pendant. Thank you

If you have a thicker piece, can you resin the sides? If so, how would you go about doing that?

Do you typically resin the whole pendant, or just the front?

If you add mica powder or eye shadow, can you still use the resin?? Will it stick?? Thanks

use double sided tape?

Do these resins have bad odor? I heard in review for generic uv resin has terrible smell. In India we don't have many such options available..any alternatives if there can be?

I watched a video about the warping using UV resin and she claims if you hold your light about a foot or two above the piece and gradually get it closer to the piece it won’t warp ? Have you tried this yet?

Thanks , I can finally finish a birthday present 😁

Katie do you drill your holes before or after using the resin? Will the hand drill go through resin?

Thank you so much for your handy tips on uv resin. My clay pieces have wrapped as well and I couldn't figure out what went wrong. These have been my very first pieces I've done and are way too thin. What's a good thickness for pendants and earrings??

do you find that a heat gun helps with the bubbles as well ?

Do you have a tutorial on the shiny pink side?

Poly bonder isn't available any longer

What is the brand of the resin that you used in this video? I’m partially deaf & could not make out the name when you said it. TIA

Katie, do you have to use the heat gun?

That's a baking mat. It's called a pyramid mat...and it's upside down! The pyramids should be face up, so you can use it as a doming mat. It's much easier to pick off spilled resin, as well.

after curing does it feel sticky to touch?

Do you have a video on how you resin the sides of a pendant? Do you recommend resining the sides before the front?

I use to use that resin, but it yellows over time

I don’t feel comfortable working with a torch and flame.
