Steve! You are probably THE only TH-camr that has collabed with a company and hasn't charged hundreds of dollars for your kit!! I thank you so very much for that! You truly are a peach my dear!! 🖤❤️
If like to share something with you, I do paint and is sketched and painted a galeon ship with a saying next to it."Ships don't sink because of the water around then, they sink because of the water that gets in them,don't let what's happening around you get inside you and weigh you down."
Tea and Art also uses Vaseline with great success. So many genius resin artists on TH-cam, I have a hard time keeping up 🤣 My pocketbook cries Everytime someone does a a new experiment too 🤣😝
I did it with lotion from Daniel Cooper. Perfect but I managed to hit it before it cured so a little smudge. Love the in the fridge routine with vaseline. Rushing to craft table now!😊
Daniel has also used vasoline. I haven't watched those videos yet but I saw a thumbnail. The biggest problem I would think there would be with using vasoline is how difficult it is to clean off afterwards.
You know Steve I believe you've solved the issue of the consistency by putting the item in fridge to stabilize the Vaseline.I believe this is a better technique than lotion honestly.😊
"having more people do it is always a good thing, because then we learn more!" YES! THIS! this is one of the things I love about all the TH-cam crafty/arty channels. You all share your methods, techniques, ideas, and often find ways to adjust and make them your own, or improve on them while you're at it. Hopefully soon I'll be able to set up and start sharing my own adventures in arts and crafts
Hello & Gday from Australia. I’ve been crafting with resin for about 8 months and have been making use of the TH-cam tutorials. In the time I have been crafting with resins I noticed the labels have changed at least twice now in the last 8 months. First time I used the resin for crafting the odour was pretty strong, even though the mask I was wearing & a good exhaust was needed. The labels changed and the date of manufacture was on every label and a use by date of exactly 365 days is apparent on the new generation of resins. The labels also began to say low toxicity and odour to non toxic and no odour. The newest labels no longer have a use by date on the instructions on the label and promises of crystal clear bubble free resin. The resins really are very clear and bubble free now in the latest generation of resin for crafting. Cheers Steve & thanks.🙏
I really like how this turned out. Thank you for the idea & inspiration. I think the tray would look great if you put some gold leaf or gold glitter or even just a dusting of gold mica powder and then a nice top coat. That might look elegant. Thank you!
I tried the lotion and it was too messy if you did big leaves or petals (sunflowers for me) so found vaseline did perfectly for big spaces, after watching Daniel , so good on you for going straight to vaseline...
I have also used the baby lotion with a little success, but I found that a thicker body butter (£1.00 from Poundland) was better. I will be trying the vaseline now 😀
Eye Candy pigments and KP pigments are a couple of my favorite brands. TLPs and Mad Micas as well as Black Diamond pigments are some other great pigments.
I've been using baby lotion with stencils. It works quite well for me. I made several trays for Christmas (2023) gifts. I've also rubbed the mold with mica power first then put the stencil dpwn to covering it with lotion. It worked really well. I did leave the lotion on for several hours to days just depending on my schedule. Lotion whipped off really easily. I'm also wanting to do cameos. Looking for small face and animals stencils to work with.
I have seen another youtuber use lotion instead of Vaseline and it comes out gorgeous. It goes on a little easier if you put it in a precision glue bottle before applying it. Then you can use stencils or not if you choose. And easy to wipe away mistakes. He used uv resin, but may work with regular resin. I do not know for certain.
Steve- I was thinking the same thing!! I have stencils on order to try this, and I'm so glad you did it. I want to try it with clear resin. I bet it will give it an etched look. Anyway, thanks for trying this! I love your videos! 😊
How did you know I have a lot of stencils I've hardly used in my rubber stamping stash? 😄 I can't wait to try this. Thank you for sharing. I have a lot of small ones, even brass ones, and I keep those in a cheap photo album I got at the dollar store, because they are about the size of a photo (remember those?) and each folder holds one. I use a large paper clip to keep the top of each sleeve closed.
I tried this a couple times with lotion after seeing Daniel Cooper do it. But an issue I had with the lotion was that it was too thin even after putting it in the fridge. I'll have to try it with Vaseline too, thank you! (I made a couple videos intending for them to be Christmas themed but couldnt edit them in time to post for Christmas 😅)
Wow, thats awesome. I inherited box's and box's of resin mpulds from my mum who passed away. When it gets warmer here in the UK i'm definitely going to experiment. I've already bought mica powders and colours, i already have tons of glitter, i've been glitter mad for years, so i cannot wait to start making things. Thank you for your video's, i think its great to gather as much info and tips before i start. I just need someone to clean my shed out so i can use it as a craft room 😂😂
great idea, question,how did the molds hold up. I saw this done with baby lotion but someone had mentioned that it left imprint on mold so I didn't try it as I don't have that many molds.
I'm still getting started with non-uv resin, but if I put acrylic paint in the indentations, and then did a layer over the whole thing of transparent resin that would seal the paint in as well right?
That looks great. Coujod you not add a dtrong color mica picment into the vaseline beforehand then refrigerate for a hour ? Make it stand out a little more !
u can make ur own pigment paste... most of us will have left over resin "A" - use that and use a pouring pigment...but u can get specific paint for this too... :)
Ah I wondered if you would get to this technique sometime :) Fun isn't it. Nice work Steve. Baby lotion works well too, and if you have 2 or 3 identical stencils you can stack them for a deeper relief
Not only can you make your own stencils... there are SOOOO many free svgs out there... and you can make them too. I totally got bitten by the create your own paper bug and played a lot on inkscape making seamless repeating patterns... SO much fun. I love them for cardmaking. Of course... you better believe I have some cardmaking stensils too.
Just thought of some thing that might help you get some windows putty squeeze in hand until very soft then on a very flat surface like glass with the stencil on it use the plastic applicator spread the putty over mould then put in fridge 😅❤
First of your videos I have seen. I liked that the Vaseline worked. I haven’t started with any art, really. But, I am drawn to fluid art and resin art. I was just wondering if your Vaseline stencil would work, and transfer the color, if you dusted the stencil with mica powder, or a different resin power?
I tried vasoline as a mold release once and it is super hard to clean off molds. I've found using anything to wipe the inside of the molds out to clean off the vasoline ends up ruining your mold. It gets scratched and shows on the next piece you make in it.
Hi Steve, watch all your videos, doing a great job. I'm just starting out and was wondering what your thoughts are about heat mats? Keep up the great work
Steve, did you think of trying to add color to the Vaseline instead of having to paint them afterward? I don't know if it'd make the Vaseline thinner or not, but it might be worth trying to see what would happen; just a thought. But, I like the outcome.
i'd love to see if you can dust the hardened vaseline to get a colored etching if you dont mind trying that on a video please. this is an awesome technique and great for people who do resin but might not be able to afford silicone for inlays. tyvm!
A strange suggestion, would it possibly work if the vaseline is coloured, I would guess, with mica powders, as an alternative to using the UV resin? just a thought
I think Tea and Art used vaseline, too, but I can't remember if she had a stencil. I've been meaning to try this (or the baby lotion method), but I'm still waiting for the weather to warm up. I think the acrylic paint looks really nice on the pattern, but they were really pretty even without anything. And now I'm thinking, gold leaf would look awesome, too...❤
Black diamond mica pigments are beautiful but that's mica powder not alcohol inks and baby lotion works the same way. Also I wonder now if you could color the Vaseline before hand....
You TRULY need an electric toothbrush, like an old-school sonic-care or something... I'm sure you teeth are fine, Buuut... Using the vibration to get your fluids to move around, and then the brush end to clean things like PJelly are real timesavers. I weigh viscous fluids, and I use small vibrations like from the toothbrush rod to help them fill air-gaps. Love your vids. Subscribing.
The Jdiction colored UV resin on Amazon in the States is sold out until further notice. 🤦It's a shame because I really wanted to try them. Great idea, Steve. They turned out beautifully.
Well it's morning here in the US... I wanted to ask you, have you ever tried the kinder egg molds, by means the resin should not be used, but I did try coating the inside part of the kinder egg with Vaseline, but the outcome was kind of cloudy.. Can you do a video using Vaseline & resin with a kinder egg ...
What would happen if you used a thick layer of the vaseline and lightly brushed it with mica or chameleon powder and then put it in the refrigerator for an hour?
maybe put in fridge before pulling stencil for sharper edges? I would screw an old sander to the table and run it while filling the molds to vibrate bubbles out.
Hi Steve! I just wanted to thank you for making these videos and inspiring so many of us! While watching, I found myself wondering if you could use the Cricut to make stencils from plastic jugs, like laundry soap or distilled water? That way you could keep them longer? I'm not really knowledgeable about Cricuts, so I figured you might know.
❤ your expiramets, wish I had a good setup to do resin :/ I recently saw a guy use something I think called resin clay or reusable resin, and he did some similar stuff w/ stencil to this, and that was interesting as well. His name is Daniel Cooper, I think.
I've also found that Vaseline is wonderful for helping clean resin if it gets on your skin. I cannot use resin without getting it all over me, Vaseline is a miracle cleaner.
Steve! You are probably THE only TH-camr that has collabed with a company and hasn't charged hundreds of dollars for your kit!! I thank you so very much for that! You truly are a peach my dear!! 🖤❤️
Ditto!!!
If like to share something with you, I do paint and is sketched and painted a galeon ship with a saying next to it."Ships don't sink because of the water around then, they sink because of the water that gets in them,don't let what's happening around you get inside you and weigh you down."
I really like that saying!
Absolutely I’m going to watch anything that starts ‘why I regret not using Vaseline’ 👍🤣🤣
petroleum gel fiestas at night long 🤣
🤭
Daniel Cooper here on youtube did this with baby lotion, now going to try both ;)
Love Daniel's channel! I tried the lotion, but I'm also gonna try this.
Tea and Art also uses Vaseline with great success. So many genius resin artists on TH-cam, I have a hard time keeping up 🤣 My pocketbook cries Everytime someone does a a new experiment too 🤣😝

I tried this last night and it worked. Thanks for sharing
This has ignited a fire under my Cricut! I have a huge roll of stencil vinyl and I may never be seen outside again! Thanks Steve, you are great!

The resins really are very clear and bubble free now in the latest generation of resin for crafting.
Cheers Steve & thanks.🙏
Very cool! Love using the freezer to set the vaseline. And yes they do the same with pastry to set the butter.
I really like how this turned out. Thank you for the idea & inspiration. I think the tray would look great if you put some gold leaf or gold glitter or even just a dusting of gold mica powder and then a nice top coat. That might look elegant. Thank you!

Daniel Cooper did this technique with baby lotion which came out lovely but do like your tip putting in fridge to firm it up great idea
i totally love the whole “washing up liquid” man that’s great. Here it’s called dish washing liquid or dish soap.
Awesome job! I love this but, I think for me, I would of done a thin top coat of clear resin to finish them off.✌
I used body butter and they came out lovely looked like they were etched 😍
That's such a a good idea! I have a whole container of petroleum jelly and a bunch of stencils. I'll definitely try this out.
Eye Candy pigments and KP pigments are a couple of my favorite brands. TLPs and Mad Micas as well as Black Diamond pigments are some other great pigments.
I use gloss medium and put pigment in the medium to add colour
I've been using baby lotion with stencils. It works quite well for me. I made several trays for Christmas (2023) gifts.

Lovely results. I have loads of stencils for my card making.
i just want to say, i find your personality adorable
I loved thank you I watch your video everyday cause of you I'm learning allot from you!❤thank you
Steve- I was thinking the same thing!! I have stencils on order to try this, and I'm so glad you did it. I want to try it with clear resin. I bet it will give it an etched look. Anyway, thanks for trying this! I love your videos! 😊
I've seen people use regular baby lotion. I think it might work better because you don't have to worry about it melting like you do with the Vaseline.
I never would have thought of this. So, thank you very much. ♥️
This one has my mind spinning with ideas!
Love it. Would it work if you placed the stencil back in the tray and then 'painted' over the stencil. Just thinking it might make it easier
Hope you’re starting to feel better xx
How did you know I have a lot of stencils I've hardly used in my rubber stamping stash? 😄 I can't wait to try this. Thank you for sharing.

Great video as always. You said you like the let’s resin colors the best but than I see you used the jdiction are they both as good?
what is the difference in the viscosity ? Like low and Medium ?
I love working with resin it fun and enjoyable
If you was to mix ink or pigment into the Vaseline would the “embossed” areas pick up the colour?
Very cool! How do you fix those "bubble chips" or holes on the side of the tray? I get those a lot.
Wow, thats awesome. I inherited box's and box's of resin mpulds from my mum who passed away. When it gets warmer here in the UK i'm definitely going to experiment. I've already bought mica powders and colours, i already have tons of glitter, i've been glitter mad for years, so i cannot wait to start making things. Thank you for your video's, i think its great to gather as much info and tips before i start. I just need someone to clean my shed out so i can use it as a craft room 😂😂
Could you dust the frozen jelly with mica powder to embed the color?
I love that idea. I will show you my projects.
I got my kit the other day! Happy happy joy joy! 😁
LOVE this technique, Steve! Genius! 😊💕👍 My favorite are the leaves pattern.
great idea, question,how did the molds hold up. I saw this done with baby lotion but someone had mentioned that it left imprint on mold so I didn't try it as I don't have that many molds.

That looks great. Coujod you not add a dtrong color mica picment into the vaseline beforehand then refrigerate for a hour ? Make it stand out a little more !
YES!!! OMG such a kicka** technique! Wish I would've found YOU sooner! ❤
u can make ur own pigment paste... most of us will have left over resin "A" - use that and use a pouring pigment...but u can get specific paint for this too... :)
This looks just all kinds of fun!
I have done this with baby lotion too before. Would like to try both and compare the result.
Ah I wondered if you would get to this technique sometime :) Fun isn't it. Nice work Steve. Baby lotion works well too, and if you have 2 or 3 identical stencils you can stack them for a deeper relief

Hi Steve Yep Vaseline works well especially after a coffee ☕️ break yeah 😽 good work yeah love K4ttt ❤
I can never find the link for your new pack as I would love one but I also don't know if Australia can receive it?
Just thought of some thing that might help you get some windows putty squeeze in hand until very soft then on a very flat surface like glass with the stencil on it use the plastic applicator spread the putty over mould then put in fridge 😅❤
Ps or use old credit card

Hmmmm, could you use a mica powder mixed with the Vaseline to give your design color? I wonder if that would work...
A strange suggestion, would it possibly work if the vaseline is coloured, I would guess, with mica powders, as an alternative to using the UV resin? just a thought
This is fantastic. Im definitely going to try it
Hi Steve. Love your work 🎉 Any idea when your tool kit will be available on Amazon? It’s currently unavailable in the UK 😢
Interesting video and I'm looking forward to your next Vaseline/stencil one! Also wondering if it would work with regular casting resin.
I think Tea and Art used vaseline, too, but I can't remember if she had a stencil. I've been meaning to try this (or the baby lotion method), but I'm still waiting for the weather to warm up. I think the acrylic paint looks really nice on the pattern, but they were really pretty even without anything. And now I'm thinking, gold leaf would look awesome, too...❤
They are saying that they are out of the mold maker that you are using and do not know if it will be back in stock in the USA .Where can we buy it ?
Brilliant idea Steve. You are very clever
For the bubbles, could you have put that resin in one of those smaller vacuum chamber things, before you poured it?
I recently discovered that vasaline also works with hot glue too.
Beautifully done
Black diamond mica pigments are beautiful but that's mica powder not alcohol inks and baby lotion works the same way. Also I wonder now if you could color the Vaseline before hand....
Daniel Cooper originated this idea and his most recent video really improves on the process in the most amazing ways.

What would happen if you used a thick layer of the vaseline and lightly brushed it with mica or chameleon powder and then put it in the refrigerator for an hour?
What a wonderful technique, Thank you for sharing and take care
Those came out really great!
How about putting some Mica powder on the Vaseline just before you pull the stencil off? No futzing around with trying to paint it later.
maybe put in fridge before pulling stencil for sharper edges? I would screw an old sander to the table and run it while filling the molds to vibrate bubbles out.
What a success 😀!
Hi Steve! I just wanted to thank you for making these videos and inspiring so many of us! While watching, I found myself wondering if you could use the Cricut to make stencils from plastic jugs, like laundry soap or distilled water? That way you could keep them longer? I'm not really knowledgeable about Cricuts, so I figured you might know.
The Cricut Explore machines won’t cut thick plastic like milk jugs. You can use them to cut stencils from transparency film, though.
Ingenious idea ❤
i love the technique
❤ your expiramets, wish I had a good setup to do resin :/ I recently saw a guy use something I think called resin clay or reusable resin, and he did some similar stuff w/ stencil to this, and that was interesting as well. His name is Daniel Cooper, I think.
I think you could use a dremel to trim the edge of the bigger piece and get rid of those bubble blemishes.
I love this idea ❤
Love this and can't wait to try it.
What a great idea.😊❤
This is a first for me these are so beautiful love it. Love the Tappy Wappy I couldn’t stop laughing you are so fun to watch.
I've also found that Vaseline is wonderful for helping clean resin if it gets on your skin. I cannot use resin without getting it all over me, Vaseline is a miracle cleaner.
Just lovely.
First time here. This is good.
Ooooo yeah luv these 😍😍😍😍😍
