Fantastic tutorial thanku so much. Ok if u don't have the colourant which by the way would last forever with the amount u use, can u use acrylic paint or inks to colour the resin ? Thanku 😃
Hi Blanca, acrylic should work with a bit of care, some of our customers have reported good success with it over the years, but you'll want to use a very small amount and test batches may be required, the resin's chemistry is delicate and introducing too much of a coloring agent can keep it from fully curing. Gouache isn't something I've worked with, from looking at it I'd say that if you have access to the dry pigment form that could work, but if it has water mixed in then the resin may not cure, we've had bad luck with water-based paints. As for how to avoid yellowing, here's what we've seen over the years in our resin work: All epoxy resin will yellow at least somewhat with age. Lower quality resin or old or improperly stored resin can yellow quickly and become almost stained in appearance. Professional jewelers grade resin can stay clear for one to a few years, and the yellow effect is more of an antiqued tint. When designing heirloom quality jewelry we like to use resin in pieces where that antiqued look will come to complement the design. We recommend Ice Resin: beadaholique.com/collections/ice-resin You can help your finished resin pieces age gracefully by keeping them stored out of the way of sunlight, but in our experience no epoxy resin stays perfectly clear forever.
Becky - I just love your resin and crystal clay videos! I really appreciate that you share your extensive knowledge so generously! Thank you so much, I get so much inspiration from your lessons. The only problem is when I learn something new using a product I've not used before I have to go get some - like the resin colorants and mica powders in this video! Guess it will just keep Beadaholique in business - LOL =-). Jodi
Hi Ma'am..Your jewelry work is just amazing with very neat finishing. May I know what kind of resin is used to make any kind of resin jewelries? Thank you Ma'am.
Here is an aoverview of the various resins we carry at Beadaholique: www.beadaholique.com/overview-of-resins-resin-supplies-and-glazes-for-jewelry-making.html
We recommend using pigments instead of acrylic paint. If you use paint, you cannot use too much paint as this may not allow the resin to cure correctly. Acrylic paint may also take away some of the glossiness of the resin. Resin pigments will help the resin retain its glossiness. Thanks for watching.
Not a dumb question at all. We do not recommend it as food colorings are usually water based and they can affect the chemical reaction of the epoxy and hardener. However, there are some designers who claim it can work in small amounts. For guaranteed results we recommend epoxy resin pigments. If you have any additional resin questions, feel free to send us an email at service@Beadaholique.com . Thanks!
Thanks for sending this over! I just realized that a lot of Becky’s videos are either not on our site or not categorized properly. I will work on that. Now to the question: It looks like Becky did not use rocks in her resin but instead some gilding flakes and perhaps some heavier glass glitter. Here are the gilding flakes: www.beadaholique.com/nuvo-gilding-flakes-metallic-foil-for-crafts-radiant-gold-200ml-6-8-fl-oz.html If these are not what you are referring to, can you please take a screen shot of the pendant in question and I will do my best to help out. Thanks!
wiser 1 yes you can or eyeshadow works pretty good too the powdered pigment works good but if you want some chunks color in it also then use regular eyeshadow
Rusudan Onezashvili yes you can mix the clear resin with acrylic paint but you cannot mix it with the white resin don't ever do that I don't know about the other type of paint.

Hi, Becky, first of all congratulations for your amazing job, in one evening I have seen almost all youtube issues related with resin. I want to ask you why you do not use a torch or a mild flame to clear air bubbles like other artist are doing and you try to kick them out by moving the organics or using a toothpick? Vassilis from Greece
That is a great question, which I don't have a great answer for. I do know that I tend to only teach things that I have A LOT of experience doing and using an open frame over Nunn Design Resin isn't something that I have done. I do have a lot of experience using an open flame over uv resin. It works great. Different product with a different formula. I'll start lighting some matches and testing it out.
I fold my excess tape over and use it like a handle so that I don’t risk getting finger prints on any of the tape (if the tape gets stuck to my fingers then you risk getting prints on the tape trying to take it off.)
Fantastic tutorial thanku so much.

Thank you so much Jodi for taking the time to write such a nice comment. Sorry about inspiring you too much!!!
It looks like enamel so cool!
Belles créations remplies d'élégance! Merci pour votre partage!
Thank you for the info regarding percentage of colorant to resin.
Can you use alcohol inks with resin?
Although we do not have a tutorial on it, we can confirm alcohol inks can be used with epoxy resin. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just checked out your shop and it’s amazing. I will definitely be shopping there.
What keeps the resin from just popping out of the frame? It seems you can just push easily and pop it through.
The resin adheres to the frame
Hi Becky! How do you make the resin shiny? The matte look is very nice just wondering 🥰

@@beadaholique Thanks so much for responding!!!

wiser 1 I've seen quite a few people use the powder in their resin and it turns out pretty good.
wiser 1 yes you can or eyeshadow works pretty good too the powdered pigment works good but if you want some chunks color in it also then use regular eyeshadow
Great video. Thanks for sharing this. N.K :)
So beauty works
can i mix resin with acryl or pebeo paint?
Rusudan Onezashvili yes you can mix the clear resin with acrylic paint but you cannot mix it with the white resin don't ever do that I don't know about the other type of paint.
Crafty Lady, why we shouldn't mix white resin with acrylic paint? what will happen if will do that?
How long does it take to dry?
This resin takes 6 hours to harden and 3 days to cure.
