I've been using Mix 2 Mold for the past 3 months and for the most part, I love it! They do need to make their pigments better as they tend to be on the light side. I did order some pigments from, I believe Europe as it took twice as long for delivery and they are very good. One tip, Mix 2 Mold has cured within 30 minutes and sometimes 20 minutes. I then remove it from the mold and let it sit for 48 hours for all the water to release. When it's no longer cold I do know that it's fully cured and at that time you can seal it. The price is excellent and it's very easy to use as it does have directions on mixing with no need to calculate the ratio.

Resin-crete says to add extra water with acrylic pain on the directions, if I remember correctly. I was thinking of the floetrol mix as well and will look forward to seeing the result

Can you use eco resin to make candle jars? Or would cement all be better?

Try blueberry juice for a color change.

That's really cool. 😍 A great idea for all the remnants of crayons.

I'm wondering if putting a sheet of baking parchment on top of the crayon pieces when starting to melt them would have helped to enable you to use the heat gun without the pieces of crayon blowing around. If you lay it on there lightly then hopefully it wouldn't stick to the crayon

Mix2Mold is measured by volume, not weight. 2T h2o per 1/3 cup of powder

Can you sand the surface smooth?

New subscriber. I'm new to resin... looking for the safest since I work in my very small studio apartment. One question. Is the curing part the most dangerous as far as fumes? Would an air purifier work since I have poor natural air ventilation?

They have larger sizes of ResinCrete that is more economical than the bag that you showed. I have used both brands and I have been VERY disappointed in the Mix2Mold because of several reasons. My first complaint is I have been unable to get glitter or Mica powder to mix well in it. My second complaint is the working time is MUCH less than the ResinCrete which is a big deal for me. Lastly, while your video shows the coloring comparable I have been disappointed in adding any type of coloring to the Mix2Mold. I have used several different methods of coloring and not been very impressed with any of them. You can stir and stir and stir and still it's not quite right all the while the mix is now getting thicker because, as I mentioned, the working time with M2M is way less. I will be using up what I have of the M2M and won't be buying any more. I'll be sticking with ResinCrete because it has given me consistently positive results with everything I've made with it.

Wow!! Thank you!!!

Always enjoyable to watch your videos.

Wow 😊😊

Good experiment. It turned out MUCH better than I thought it would! I thought it would end up being one big clump TBH. Good Job 👏 I’m wondering how well resin actually sticks to the eco resin. 🤔 An experiment you could do is just make small circles or squares of different colors and set them outside for at least a month and see what happens. You could even do top coated versus no coat. 😊

My local Michael’s and a few in Dallas (next state over) haven’t had this in stock for weeks now. I spoke with two AMs and they informed me that Michael’s will no longer carry this, and one stated it’ll be discontinued altogether. My heart sunk! Is this true? I’ve switched over from Cement All to this product and absolutely love it. Hope it doesn’t disappear 😢

In a couple of months, Hobby lobby is gonna have mixed 2 mold

You’re correct; it’s the silicon oil that is making the ‘pitting’. It can make a very neat look though 😊

Those colours are gorgeous! 😍

BUT... Hobby Lobby has been known to copy creator's innovations, and then selling their copy for less, causing the creator to lose their own product, despite it being patented. All they do is buy one, send it to China and tell them to copy it and change it 20%. That is all that is required; a 20% change. I know someone who has had Hobby Lobby steal their invention. I will never buy from those hypocrites again.

This was the video I needed. You covered all my concerns. I have a rather expensive vinyl model that needs something solid in its feet to help support it, but I don't want anything with an exothermic reaction that could melt the vinyl, and I need it to be strong enough to hold the support rods that will come out of the bottom of the feet. I have watched alot of videos on this type of product and you're the only one that addressed my concerns. Thank you 😊

I've seen where they break very thin pieces and added them to the mix to make terrazzo look a like items.

thanks for the video. I use Floretrol for mixing my paint when painting. I found that floretrol is smoother medium than other brands and cost effective. Thanks again.

Going to give thisca try, appreciate your review!

Seen your video and gave yobtop a try. I found yobtop easier to use and a smoother finish than resincrete. Thanks for the video on yobtop.

Love the colors in the background, it came out great!

Great information again, and a few more tips for others that may watch; purple will cancel out the yellow (so add in 1-2 drops of purple translucent alcohol ink for small amounts, or if using a large amount of resin you can use purple translucent dye a very small amount), when mixing resin stir slowly, scrape the sides and bottom and stir for the full time that the instructions say, and then look at it, if you still see streaks, you need to continue mixing, it is not thoroughly mixed yet, and never add colors or anything in your resin until it is properly mixed first. Silicone tools are soft and wont damage your molds. You did great!

Great tips and information for beginners. I completely agree no resin is truly food safe, tell them to put cling wrap over the board if they want to use it and never cut on it! I have had flash cures using acrylic paint, you have to use it very very sparingly. Yes avoid water, water based products to add in resin. Using a silicone tool to get into the corners of your molds to get the bubbles out will help without scratching your mold. I recycle my resin bits too.

Lots of very good points & tips for beginners. Just a few extra tips and information; Organic Vapor Filter for the respirator is the type of filters needed, & yes it does matter specifically what type of filter you use for epoxy resin. Nitrile gloves are the best at lasting longer against resisting against the resin chemicals breaking through the gloves, and don't reuse them as the resin breaks the gloves down on the molecular level. For better longer lasting silicone mats, use the baking mats, they don't warp from heat as the resin cures, they are true heat resistant mats and come in a variety of sizes. 91% to 99% isopropyl alcohol not 70%, 70% is still too much water in the alcohol. A round bullseye level is the easiest way to level and keep checking your workspace.

Your price comparison is not accurate. Things are always cheaper in bulk. You should have compared the price of similar size quantities.

Easy to break not recommended for figurine

You are hilarious. This made my day. Thanks handsome. Just my 1 cent

I just made my first mold recently. Glad to see you were successful with making guitar knobs. Just my 1 cent

M2M is being discontinued. I brought my store out!

Thanks for your review. Just my 1 cent

I’m going to market some resin-rebar, make your coasters unbreakable

Great video. Have you seen Southern Lady Artistic Creations? Beth uses some water-based pigments from Temu, with great effect. I wish we could get Mix2Mold in the UK.

I think 10 to 3 works out to 18 g of water to 60 g resincrete. Which is exactly the same as Mix2Mold.

I was the commenter. You are welcome. Currently, Mix2Mold is only selling at Michael's. (The sale is over.) Rumor has it that it is being discontinued at Michael's, but will be selling at Hobby Lobby. Re the coloring, the only place you can find a colorant which makes it truly dark are some colorants sold on Temu (look for "water based colorants", these are cheap) and "Homeware Design Co" on Etsy (they are UK based and are very expensive, but very good).

Welp, its not $15 anymore!😂

Couldn't find it for sale anywhere but Michaels!!

Interesting i can probably buy that eco resin and use it on my counter tops im making a wooden table for my kitchen and was thinking about using white acrylic and a sealer to finish it but may be i might u this i was going do epoxy resin but it kinda expensive

I use yobtop deep pour epoxy resin, works better than let's resin does. Why I don't know 🤷‍♂️

Thank you. I've seen this product but never tried it. I usually use Magic Powder by Let's Resin which is a good product but next time I order I'll give Yobtop a try. Especially because I like I like my casting powder to be white. I hate it when they're brown or grey because it's harder to color them. Great job. 👍

Great information - thanks!

Love a good experiment!

Love it! Maybe sealing the back after cutting it out would help with the bubbles? Who knows lol resin gunna bubble 😂

Really great review - I’m a new subscriber - nice meeting you

Watched all the videos and found them very informative and a good refresher course. I’ve been in the resin and resincrete hobby for a few months and beforehand I watched every beginner resin and resincrete video I can find before investing. The resin hobby can be very expensive to start and maintain. You touched on many good points for the beginner resin hobbyist. I personally use Jdiction for its ease of use (1 to 1 ratio) and the clarity of the epoxy resin. 1 item not mentioned was the use of mica powder. Might be a good video for the future. Mica powder vs pigments. Worthwhile videos to watch for anyone interested in getting into the epoxy resin hobby.
