The stunning effect of layering Alcohol ink in resin: Vibrant Rainbow and ocean colors

Рет қаралды 40,200

Күн бұрын

So I've been asked if I would do some strictly alcohol ink coasters and here is my version of alcohol ink coasters where you flip the coaster over to see the finished design :-) from the bottom. This technique is so stunning. The way you mix the color gives a textured and lovely effect. I will be doing a set of standard size 3.9 inch coasters using this design to show how it looks on a smaller scale. Enjoy!

The heat from that torch is going to shorten the life of your molds. It also causes the resin to start sticking to the edges. Better to use a heat gun. Beautiful work.

@hollylowery26 Жыл бұрын

A mist of alcohol across the top will pull-up and pop all the bubbles.

@ResinAsYouWish Жыл бұрын

The torch is fine as long as you hold it high enough from the resin. You are correct that it can definitely mess up the molds. The molds are cheap so I don't really care when they break because I want the piece to be pretty and bubble free. Over heating the resin will make the resin age faster and yellow if you aren't careful though

The first layer looks very rose like in the finished coasters. So pretty!! Idk what I'm doing wrong but so far i haven't been able to get the alcohol ink to move much. Too chilly maybe? I'm a beginner, so lots of time to get it right and dial it in! Thank you for your videos!!

@sandcastle2069 Жыл бұрын

Adirondack has alcohol blender which is basically the highest concentration of alcohol. If you use that to drip into your mix, the colors will float into each other more easily. Alcohol ink needs enough fluid to blend and if you use too little or it’s too hot where you are, the pure alcohol (uncolored) will be needed. It can also create great effects. Another thing that makes it move is using heavy alcohol ink with lighter ones. Heavy ones are white and those with metal color. The heavy ones will move to the bottom sinking through the others.

I just let it harden enough to tap on. The resin I use takes 3 days to fully cure, but I'm usually on the next layer between 12 and 24 hours.

i hate to give bad reviews,and you had some excellant results but you covered them up,alot of resin and colors which could of had been shorten and the white mixed as most know give some very pretty results,which i saw but were only covered up by another layer,i dont understand the purpose of mixing white into the colors into bottles,which could of been done by the dropping of white color unto the colors for a result but done with less time,and items.,reguardless the end result was very pretty

Hi I wait until the resin is hard enough to tap on. This is usually overnight (cure time on this resin is 3 days) So no set time, I usually just work on them in the evening and then come back the following evening.

They turned out great but I was wondering why the backs looked the way they did? Also the only thing that stops me from making and selling these is that alcohol inks fade and won't look as good down the road.

@zarraCO Жыл бұрын

Julie, theoretically speaking, if you use a good quality resin that has UV protection built into it your colors should stay on point. But I am a resin NOVICE. I use alcohol inks all the time. Paintings and ornaments I use several (3-4) coats of Kamar and 2 of a sealant. So far I have had good luck with this technique and after having one treated painting and one untreated painting in the same window, the results are shocking!

The white/color mixture is 3 to 1, it is important the resin was mixed and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes, this affects how much the ink will sink and don’t stack more than 3 drops in top of each other
