Resin Tip of the Day - Manipulating Resin into Shape
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- For over three years, I have been working with and manipulating resin into shape. If you follow my channel, you will know that I have bent and shaped many a resin piece.
In this video, I want to share my resin tip of the day - How I manipulate resin into shape, using heat.
Like many of you, not all of my resin pieces go according to plan. However, I have learned that by adding heat to soften the resin, it will bend and stretch without cracking.

I hope you enjoyed this video.
Sue Love and miss you so much. Face Book keep punishing me every month because of my Republican Posts....lol. As Usual I adore your art Darling.
Thank you Helen 🥰
Hi Sue I have a question..... does the heat from the globe negatively affect the resin lamp during use??? thanks
I could be wrong, but I don't think a bulb puts off enough heat to soften the resin.
Not at all, I only use LED bulbs and they don't affect the resin.
I only use LED bulbs and they have been fine.
Great tip Sue and an utterly gorgeous lamp! Such beautiful colours and effects around the edge! I wish I could make something this beautiful, my husband loves lamps, we have 7 just in our lounge room! He would be so overjoyed and amazed if I made him a lamp like this! Were you able to buy everything that's needed for this in Australia? Stay happy! 😃💜🐨🙋♀️🥰🤗
Yes, all the supplies were bought in Australia. Good luck with your lamp. 🥰
@@SueFindlay Thanks Sue 🥰 I really need your help with something. I've only just started working with resin and I've painted two sets of coasters, on tiles (Squares and Hexagons) for my son and daughter for Christmas. What is the best way to resin them pretty please?? I think I need to tape the bottom?, I didn't use any silicone so also, what is the best way to clean them first? Then do I pour and tilt the resin or do I just rub it on with my gloved hands? I'm sorry to be asking so many probably basic questions, but I'd really like them to turn out great for my kids. I think I've surprised myself and they turned out amazing, so I also really don't want to wreck them. I have normal Just Resin. I really hope you can help me, please Sue? ❤🥰
Hello beautiful lamp....just a question...the resin does not become soft because of the warmth of the bulb?
I only use LED bulbs. The resin remains cool. 💕
Another beautiful video. Thank you so much. Can I please ask where you get your plastic from? I am struggling to find plastic sheet without creases. I even purchased shower curtains but they have the fold creases. I used cellophone and the resin stuck to it. Maybe it was too thin. Kindly let me know. Thank you.
I am using cellophane, as you have come to know, some resins stick to cellophane, so you need to test it out before use. I buy mine from a florist supplier. 💕
Beautiful ❤️
Nice comment dear 👍🏼 ...... Where are you from ?
I’m from Utrecht in the Netherland and you?
Hi Sue - What are you laying your resin on if you don't mind me asking? I am about to start a project in which I need to make it a specific shape so just wanted to know what you are pouring your resin onto?
Fab work :)
Thanks
Jan
Thanks, Jan - I used a plastic shower curtain. Do some tests on plastic as not all are made the same. Resin has been known to stick to some plastic. Good luck with your project. 😁
@@SueFindlay Thanks so much lovely - I have tried the auld clingfilm and some plastic bags etc but they all went way wrong ha! Will give it a go!
Beautiful work! As always .Is this the only way to make a hole in the center? could one drill?
Yes, you can use a drill to create the hole. 💕
Awesome, this is my first time on your channel. What type of plastic did you use?
Welcome, Tara. I used cellophane for this one. I would recommend testing cellophane, as some resins stick to it. 💕
Lovely shade, and love the colour, what is the max wattage these could take and do you use a heat resistant resin? Thank you
I only ever use LED bulbs, this one has a 11w bulb and doesn't cause any issues. 💕
Sue. I watch each of your videos at least twice, as if they are new video. You are an Inspiration to me . Thanks for sharing your talent.
My pleasure, thank you for watching 💕
Could you pour over a glass shade? If so, how to remove?
If you cover the shade in plastic, you should be able to remove the resin. 😁
I do got a question about the full video. If i pay for it can i watch it more than once or is that the price to watch it once? Also if i pause it n get busy do i run out of time to finish it?
You get a lifetime of access. So you can watch it at your leisure and come back time and time again. 💕
Hi looks beautiful.
Thank you 💕
Whay kind of plastic do you use?
For this I used cellophane 💕
Hi, don't know if you are going to see this since your video is 2 years old already... love the lamp shade... but have two questions... is it possible to cut the edge of the resin and when/how would you do that? Say you would like a straight cut around the bottom or even flower petals shapes (or something like that) instead of the free-form edge you have. what would you use to cut it (if you can) and when would you attempt to do it? Thanks!
I have cut resin after it had cured. You need to warm the resin with a heat gun or hair dryer before cutting to avoid the resin breaking. It is easier to create the shape you want before pouring. Cutting resin is a bit tough on the hands. 😁
@@SueFindlay HI!! I want to end up with exactly cut and formed shapes out of resined fabric... somewhat like what you are doing here but with fabric in it and with very precise edges and shapes because they are then going to be inset into another larger piece of art...I can't have any resin running past the edge of the fabric edges.... my idea was to cut the fabric shapes a little oversized and put resin on them (flat) and then after the 3-4 hr short wait be able to form them over a shape for final curing... I thought I would be able to trim up the edges of the resin/fabric piece to its exact pattern edge so I at the time I put it on the form so it will harden to the exact size/shape I need...but I'm wondering if it's easy to trim at that flexible phase...or if it is to hard to cut precisely then.... guess I should just go for it and do some experiments!! :-) thanks!!
Hi Sue, my name is Ally.
I live in Amble, Northumberland, Uk.
I watch your youtube channel and I would like to try resin art. I bought a small kit to try. My first go was a totally disaster 😂 but that's only made me more determined to succeed. I was hoping for a bit of advice on buying some resin. I can't purchase the resin you use as they don't ship out of Australia. I will be buying from Amazon Uk. There are so many different ones with different ratios.
Your art work is so beautiful.
Thank you so much for you time and hope you will be able to give me some tips xxx
Hi Alison
Having only used a few brands of resin, none of which from Amazon, unfortunately, I can't advise on the best one for you. Good luck with your purchase and your new resin pieces. 💕
@@SueFindlay thank you Sue. Experimention here I come 😂 xxx
Hi Sue! I was wondering if I can use parchment paper to pour resin on? And does resin shrink while it dries? Love the colour of that blue.
You can use parchment paper, although, I recommend doing tests to check the resin doesn’t stick. The resin doesn’t shrink as far as I can tell. Thank you for watching. 💕
@@SueFindlay what do u use,if not parchment? And it's always my delight to watch u. Thank u
I love love so good.
Thank you 💕
Omg.. gorgeous..
Thank you! 😊
Hi Sue,
The shade is beautiful, what is the highest watt bulb can you use?
I only use LED bulbs, this one has an 11w bulb. Which is very bright. 💕
@@SueFindlay thank you very much
Stunning
Thank you 💕
Your ideas are so unique! Wow! Thanks for such amazing videos 💕💕💕💕💕💕
My pleasure, thank you for watching 💕
As always an amazing work ! Thank you for sharing your precious tips !
My pleasure, thank you for watching 💕
I'm obsessed with ur work. U have inspired me to try out resin. My question is. Once the resin is completely cured will it ever deform from the heat of the light or if I made a serving tray and i put a hot drink would it destroy the tray?
Thanks again for being so amazing and sharing ur creative talent.
Thank you. I only ever use LED bulbs, one because they use less energy and two, because they don't get too hot and does affect the resin. As for trays, you need to make sure you use a heat resistant resin. 💕
Wow turned out so pretty! Love those colors!!
Thank you, I am pleased with it. 💕
This is beautiful! I’m so inspired to try some free form projects!
Thank you and good luck 💕
You are such inspiration that i looked everywhere in the house for a lamp 😊. Love your Art work Sue 😍
😂 I got mine from IKEA 💕
Oh Sue, this is absolutely gorgeous. Love your work.
Thank you, glad you like it 💕
I love the Resin Tip of the Day, keep 'em coming please :)
Thank you, I will be doing more of these in the New Year. I am having a break for a couple of weeks and will be back to creating from the 11 Jan. 🥰
This is So Lovely, Sue! Upside down it looks like a splash in a lake by a tennis ball! All these droplets of water (your glistening diamomd plastic pieces) sparkling. Gorgeous! In lampshade position it's like some million dollar dress for the academy awards. Truly amazing!
If you get a chance, mabe you and your family could look for Jupiter and Saturn in the sky, looking like a double planet all month. This view won't present itself for 800 years so I hope you see it. Hope the clouds here disappear so we can see it in Chicago too! 💛from🍕
I shall look out for it this evening. Friday’s my husband and I have a few drinks in the garden to catch up and unwind. 🥰
@@SueFindlay , since I'm in the Northern hemisphere, you may need to check Space.com or something to find out when it's best seen where you are. Hope we all get to see it. Thank you again for all your inspirational art and the wonderful, caring way you explain things. So happy at how far you've come and how much further you will go! The sky's the limit!
As always, so lovely. You do amazing art.
Very kind of you, thank you 💕
That’s so beautiful 🤩 🥰😍
