Fun Tip: If you use a big silicon mat like the one Steve showed, you can make "resin sprinkles" with leftover resin from your pours. Just scrape out your pot of tinted resin (or put a little pinch of mica to color clear resin). Then make tiny drops of resin or even lines of resin directly on your resin mat. Let it cure then pop it off with tweezers or just a fingernail. Store your "sprinkles" in a little pot to use in future resin projects. If you have enough leftover resin, you can even use a pipette to write letters, symbols, or just doodles on the silicon mat... let it cure and pick it off when it's hard enough.

@victoriabutterfly6521 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, I have a few more suggestions: When it’s rather cold I warm up the 2 bottles first, either in warm water or on the radiator. This helps to minimize the micro bubbles. If you do it in water make sure to dry the bottles very well so you don’t end up getting water into your resin. After mixing I leave the resin stand for about 5min to allow the bubbles to rise to try to get rid of the majority before I start pouring. Personally I prefer my heat gun to pop the micro bubbles & I even use the heat gun while mixing depending on how cold it is, by having it blow on my mixing cup. Just make sure to use tge low setting & to not letting it get too hot or it will cure too quickly. I also try to pour slowly to minimize the risk of micro bubbles. Also if you are like me you end up with sticky fingers no matter what. Fair enough the gloves will protect my hands. But what about the phone since I use it to time when I mix the resin as well as waiting for the bubbles to rise. Plus I use it also for music while I work on my projects. To make sure my phone doesn’t end up as sticky as my fingers [& god knows it happened more often then I’d like to admit] every time before I start a project I use cling film to cover the phone very well. Make sure it’s tight and smooth on the screen then you have no problems using the phone while working with the resin. And if you want to listen to music or need to charge ensure that you leave those openings uncovered. You also should always use Purple as there is no colour more awesome … EVER 💜 And Glitter … lots and lots of Glitter ... Because everything is better with Glitter❣️

Hello Steve, you can resurface your "Flat" molds, nothing with texture. All you have to do is mix a small amount of 2 part silicone, spread it evenly on the bottom of the mold. Make sure the mold is level, the silicone will self level. Let it cure. As we know silicone will stick to silicone so it works very well. Thank you for the tips! 💙🐰💙

@marthagodsey7061 6 ай бұрын

@chriscrosscrafter 2 жыл бұрын

With the silicone cups I didn’t like marking them on the side because sometimes I would do three or four pours one after the other rather than pouring a lot at a time because then that would give me more work time with each individual pour. What I would do is I would set a flashlight (a little mini flashlight) next to the silicone cup and then pour the resin into the cup. If you aim the light slightly behind the raised labeling on the cup, the light will highlight it very well to make it easier to read and see. What I discovered about mica powders is that there are two kinds. There’s the one that we use for resin but apparently there’s another one that they use for soaps and it is made with oil which, if you mix it with a resin, will never ever ever ever ever let your resin cure. It makes quite a mess when you try and clean it up. Great tips thanks so much. Take care and stay safe!

@stephi586 2 жыл бұрын

What type mica powder did you use that wouldn’t let it cure? Because I’ve bought so many different powders including stuff used for soap/candles and they work just as well as other’s. I also stopped mixing the color into the resin instead I paint the silicone molds with mica powder how I want it then pour resin and bam it’s colored. But all mica I’ve used have always cured no matter which on i use

Another tip for resinwork: Get an adjustable heat gun: one that you can turn the fan speed up and down and the temperature up and down. It's a lifesaver for getting bubbles out. Also if bubbles are a major concern, the slower the cure the less likely you are to have bubbles (generally). This is a great video and should be required viewing before getting into resin work!

So it was great to see someone in the chat say they use a heat gun to get rid of the bubbles.

@be7th Жыл бұрын

1) Don't use a vacuum chamber with resin already in a silicon mold. Your mold will expand and break down. Instead, vacuum prior, then pour. 2) Don't stand and/or have a crowded table while working on time sensitive casts. You might trip yourself or the buckets much more easily. Instead, sit tight and have all and only what you need in arms reach. 3) Don't wear clothes for which their pristine state matters to you. You might get an unforgiving stain should something slip. Instead, don worn out clothes for that occasion. 4) Don't prepare food at the same time if you do it in an area with two purposes. One may get in the other and both options are big no-nos. Instead, do one, then clean, then the other, then clean. 5) Don't allow yourself to make the same mistakes. Keep lists of where you effed up.

Steve, I've got what I think is a good UV hack. Mind you, I am making my very first resin craft today. Yeah, yeah.. I am not using the "proper" mold. I found a dino shaped silicone fidget popper at a discount store that I liked the shape of and I modified it to suit my purposed. That, however is not the hack. My hack is using aluminum foil to get the light in more areas as it cures. I pulled this idea off watching lots of restoration videos where they use UV light to whiten old toy car parts. I think it is really aiding the curing process. Dollar stores are dangerous to the wallet. I do not see what they are selling. I see the potential in those items. Left with lots of "maybe someday" on many items. Quick question. Anyone ever use a heating pad to speed up the curing time on two part epoxy resin?? Thx.. Love your channel!! Happy crafting!

Good vid mate. 2 tips : baking paper is just like silicon .the resin just peels away from it ,second tip : try lubricating your moulds with olive oil or lubrication oil ,they work brilliant for me epically the baking paper one that’s got so many applications you can use it for from river tables to even just cover your work bench with it will help …saves your benches .take it easy ,first Time seeing you 👌

Be careful with oil on your molds, it might weaken the silicone

thanks :) I just wanted to say you never stop learning or picking up good tips from other makers. I've been working with resin for 15 years and I'd never say I know everything, I definitely learn from other makers all the time 👍

Wow, I love your channel. I just wanted to thank you for posting the links in the description. I am starting my own resin business, and was going to spend over $380 to get what I needed because I was buying everything separately. But no I will be spending WAY less, you are seriously a paycheck saver lol. But I also love your content, it inspires me and it is so helpful. I honestly appreciate your channel. This may not be much, but just know that you made this newbie resin business persons day!

I'm so glad I watched your channel today. Recently I've had a problem with my eyes swelling up and itching terribly. Now I know why. They look exactly like yours! I had never associated it with using resin. I've been using the same brand since the mid 90's and this has just recently become a problem. Thank you so much for showing me what the issue is. I'm getting one of those masks today.
