- I get asked how I clean my reusable resin tools ALL THE TIME. So I thought I'd finally show ya! 😉 You'll need duct tape & a small sharp tool... that's it! I'll link all of my tools down below! I hope this video helps you guys in cleaning & reusing some of your crafting tools!
*WHEN WORKING WITH RESIN: WORK IN A WELL VENTILATED SPACE, WEAR A RESPIRATOR WITH THE FILTERS FOR FUMES, GLOVES, GOGGLES & SOMETHING TO PROTECT YOUR CLOTHES.

About my channel: Hey guys! I'm Heather, the crazy lady behind ArtsyMadwoman! I'm a resin artist & I preserve flowers in resin along with creating & testing out all kinds of fun crafty thangs! I hope you subscribe & stick around for the mad things we're going to do ;D
I want to see this mysterious cup ends project now! On another note, I saw someone make a resin coaster with a mirror as the base, that would look cool with a geode look I think
Ok, I knew about the tape and cleaning out the cups part but that mod podge on the mat…..mind blown! That was definitely satisfying to watch! Wow!!! Thanks for sharing that tip!
right?! my mind was blown too haha ❤️
It was satisfying! 🤗 I pre-coat my pressed flowers by laying them on my silicone mat, this works great to avoid bubbles later but, make a real mess of my mat so, I just roll my mat up and knead it like bread for a min. or so.. then, take it outside and hose it down. If my resin hasn’t gone off on me.. I just wipe everything out/down with alcohol wipes right after I pour, while the resin is still uncured.
That was reminiscent of pealing Elmer's glue off my hands as a kid, or when I peel someone's skin from a sunburn.
I'm so happy to hear that I'm not the only one that saves the bottom-of-the-cup pucks!😅 Can't wait to see what you do with them!!
Awesome video, beautiful!
Thank you very much!
I think I'm going to use the tape to remove resin in my matt, I suffered from it
Wow, that way satisfying pick up with glue.
I wonder if she could have gone back in with the tape to get those last remaining blobs.
@@hopegold883 Exactly what I was thinking.😂
I clean my mat with a lint roller! It takes everything right off!
I do this too, then I take a damp washcloth to it to get any acrylic paint off. Then an eraser for any graphite that got stuck on there.
Thank you brilliant idea! 💖👏🇦🇺
i use the sticky rollers from Michaels or Hobby Lobby bc u just wash it & reuse!
Works great for glitter spills, too.❤
The glue peel was awesome! I turn my cups upside down on the silicon mat when I'm finished so it pours out. The smaller silicon cups I turn inside out to clean. What I think is my one cool tip is I use that slime stuff that they sell to clean keyboards to clean all the glitter and stuff off my mat, it works like a dream :)
Wow!! I always wonder how you clean the tools and workstation😃 I love that we get variety of contents from you,keep them coming!♥ you are such an inspiration😊
It's so true, all artists never throw anything away, you just never know when you might need something that may come useful in another creation 😊👍 Thanks for this useful and very satisfying video 👍😊
Wow! I think im going to hit these back to school sales and stock up on GLUE!
I use baby wipes to get those tiny bits off the inside the cup.
Love the glue on the mat trick.
I love the mod podge idea, that was great thank you
Elmers glue might work too, but I would test first
I use the resin bottoms of cups for trinket trays- I decorate them.
MUCH, MUCH easier to clean with baby wipe before resin cures.
I like to turn my silicone cups inside out and use a baby wipe after it’s set but yes easy to clean the plastics before setting
Does that produce a lot of waste? How many baby wipes do you go through per project? Do you do big projects like she does? I'm just curious, no judgment or shade.
@@TheSwauzz just 1 to clean everything she’s cleaning, I’m sure duct tape is just as wasteful tbh
Yes definitely helped thank you
I just wanted to let u kno, iv only been doing resin for about a year & i thougjt that it needed to b somthing really useful. Iv been making candle trinket boxes, clocks, stuff like that. You have shown me that resin cam actually be an art form and iv been having tons of fun making different things! Thank you so much!
aww omg that makes me soo happy!! ❤️
Loved it! Super satisfying. NH🤘🏻
Masking tape works as well
This was so helpful… thank you! Oh and it was absolutely satisfying😍
Yaaasss!!
There are not enough words to express..... Just how..... Satisfied I OFFICIALLY Am.... lol. KEEP'M COMMIN!!!!!!
Very Satisfying!
Dat peel pr0n!! SO satisfying. I save all my measuring cup bottoms, too (not resin: polyfoam and rubber) and have thought of so many uses. So wonderous to watch Heather come up with the next video idea AS she's filming this one: cannot wait to see what you do with the cup bottoms, girl!!
Oh my god this has been such an informative and visually ap-pealing;D (pun intended) video!!! Thank you so much for making this 🥺
OH MY GOD I WAS LITERALLY GOING TO ASK YOU TO PRETTY PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON THIS TODAY! I opened my phone to find a song my dad and I are working on and this was the first video!! I’ll be watching later tonight, thank you!!!
Thank you for this video. Now I will clean my resin coated mess. Thank you for showing us how to clean. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤️❤️
Peter Brown used resin to clean his mat and it was v nice to watch lol
Omg wasn't it!!! So satisfying!!
WOW I'm absolutely stunned at the mod podge! 💖💖💖👏👏👏🇦🇺 thank you Michelle
never had a doubt bc youre such a bad ass MADWOMAN!love all your content soooo much(sung inmy artsymadwoman best impression,which sucks btw...your husband is much better at it)much love from NH
Wow!!! That was so cool!!! Now I wanna peel my mat but it is nowhere near as dirty...lol 🤣 mine just has paint and resin.. and I'm am also looking forward to this mysterious resin cup bottom project!!! Eeeeeee!!!! 😃😃😃 Thanks for the helpful video 💗
OMG soooo satisfying, thank you for this video, the duct tape was amazing
Very satisfying! And I really learned a LOT! Like I need to buy some equipment that I didn't know existed! Thank you!
I turn my cups upsidedown on a silicone sheet or plastic bag. When its dry, its easier to peel out. And you don't get the little droplets. I'm going to try the glue on my silicone mat...sounds like a great idea. Wow....I'm going to go clean my mat NOW!!!! Yahoo!! Thank you, thank you!!
👍🏾 for reusing and not just buying more plastic, since it’s only a buck.
This was ALMOST as satisfying as the art.
Omg you are so amazing. Lol. This was so satisfying to watch and who knew to squeeze and rub your silicone cups like that. I gave up and just started cleaning them before they dried but now I won’t have to do that. You made me laugh. “I hope this works or I’m going to look stupid”. Lol. Never. I love your videos and even your bloopers. Lol. Can’t wait for your new idea. Was funny when u held up the resin from the bottom of your cup I could see the lightbulb go off in your head. Lol. Thanks for another great video
Why don't you get one of those small air coolers for the art room. Aldi has the for around $20. You fill with water (suggest you use distilled) plug in and it should make it much cooler. They are more expensive on line. Distilled water prevents mineral build-ups and extend the life of the unit. Save receipt, warranty for 2 years.
Ahhhhh...love it... it was satisfying I save all my resin pieces and put them in barrettes alligator clips..if I shop thru your amazon..does that help you in any way...love you...
Little tip - I take my little silicone cups and turn them inside out....works great!! BTW - I love your vids. You are totes adorbs!
I clean my cups the same way you do, but I do clean my stir sticks with alcohol or baby wipes immediately after use. I have this thing about keeping them clean. It's weird I think. I really need to try the glue trick. Do you think glue all would work? I have a ton of that from acrylic pouring. Maybe I'll try a test patch. I have a couple really messy mats from painting too. It would be great if the glue worked with paint! Thank you for another wonderful video!
One of my subscribers sent me a tape lint roller for my silicone mat and it works great. But I feel like I need to try the glue thing just for the experience now lol
Baby wipes to clean while the resin is soft and new would be better. Watch Steve McDonald's arts and craft on TH-cam. He has a cleaning tutorial.
Amazing!! I use painters tape myself. Never thought of glue, I try it. I use to put glue on my hands as a kid lol...
I love all your videos thank you so much for sharing. I do have a question. Is it bad to clean your epoxy cups and sticks with acetone?
I'm gonna try the glue on mats. I usually take them outside and spray it off with a pressure sprayer, which makes a second mess to sweep up. This looks like a promising alternative!
You crack me up! I think you were born several decades too late. You are the perfect flower child leftover from the 70s! Keep up the good work.
only cups made of 5 plastic doesnt add to resin ;) I dont know why but really works. I use sushi cups for soy sauce to pour resin and mix the glitter and peel SO well of course when the resin is properly mixed and cured
The leftover dried-up cup resin could be used to make coasters or you could paint on them and hang them up on the wall, or as ornaments. You could cut out pieces from different colors and use them as embeds for other projects, same with shavings if you shave pieces off.
Love your work. The best tip I can give to clean resin off cups mats etc. Get one of those lint rollers - the ones with the tape you peel off. Rub it over the area with resin and it brings it all off. Much quicker thank tape. Let me know what you think of this tip
I use the same Dollar Tree measuring cups. Resin peels right off of parchment paper. I simply turn my cup upside down on a piece of parchment paper. The next day a thin layer of resin peals right out. And you don’t need the tape routine. I watched resin artists for ages before one of them suggested this. I have no suggestions for the silicone cups. I have the same problem.
Spritz alcohol on your mats. Take an unused credit card-like card and scrape the alcohol toward the edge of mat where a paper towel catches all the debris. So many ideas! Thanks.
Cleaning cups like that only works if you have a lot of leftover resin. If you scrape out the sides/bottom to get as much out, they're awful to try to get clean.
So freaking satisfying!
I use duct tape to clean my silicone mat, I just rip off a big strip and lay down and peel up till it loses tack and then do another but maybe I'll try glue next time just for the satisfaction of peeling it up if nothing else! XD
I save resin drips and cup bottoms and when I'm pouring a solid colored mold, I drop the drips in the resin for filler. It doesn't show. Saves some resin.
I think you could probably just use some Elmers glue that you buy for kids would work and be less expensive to do
Instead of glue to clean the mat use gorilla tape press it down good it will lift everything off of silicone mat. Also, to clean your tools easier, clean them with acetone before resin cures. Another tip buy silicone mold release spray to use on your cups and mat, everything will clean easier especially if it cures.
Glad to know i'm not the only one that doesn't clean all the little droplets off the inside of the cups. I have been known to turn the silicone cups inside out and rubbing alcohol to help clean them. It's very handy for those that get dusty occasionally since it dries fast.
Some resin drips from cups and mat are nice to reuse for inclusions in clear resin for pops of color and an abstract look
I use a paint scraper just be careful you don’t cut the mat but like the glue idea. Silicone cups & stick 👍🏻
Her: Pulls out DuctTape
Me: 🤯 (holy $#!+ that’s smart) 😂
That mat trick is great !! I would have never thought of doing this! Thanks for the video 😃👍
Thanks for the tips they will definitely help me, I hate cleaning up after projects lol some great tips in the comments too 👍 and that peel was so satisfying!
Thanks so much for a great video. No more wasting paper towels!!
You have an extra supply of cup butts .. 😂 I already also have ideas that could work
ThNk you this makes life so much easier excellent video ❤️❤️
So satisfying!! I loved watching u paint the modge podge on!!
It was an enjoyable, very satisfying video. Thanks.
I am so glad I am not alone. I also keep the bottoms of my cups. I cut them up and use them for the base for new pieces. I have used them for pendants, charms, etc.
wow - I wonder if it would work with Elmers (which is cheaper than Mod Podge)
I really needed this video. The hardened stuff is easy to deal with, but the still sticky stuff I haven’t known what to do with
That was satisfying. I used the duct tape to clean my resin tools.
Alcohol wipes are your best friend for cleaning silicone mats!
I paint, so I would paint on the cup bottoms that were saved and then resin over the top of the painting with clear resin. Just what I would do with them.
Lint roller for your mat and table, then you can also turn your silicone cups inside out and the little droplets wipe right off.
The Mod Podge did a great job! Great video, thank you for your time! 😁
That was super cool I cannot wait to clean my mat like that it needs it badly Thanks for doing this video
That was a good asmr video. Thanks I had to stop doing resin since the kids are home and cleaning the tools were my favorite part
😜 That is so freaking amazing 🤯 👏 👏
Thank You!!!
Omg I love that peel! Every time it would cut away I was like no go back! Lol
Keep your cups upside down as soon as you finished with it. Then resin comes to the top part of it since it's upside down. Then it's easy to peel
This was super,thank you so much!🍩☕️🎉👊
peter brown uses a lot of resin in woodturning and his work mat is a grooved silicone one and he cleans it by pouring his excess resin on it and peeling it up.
Get duct tape, noted. Thank you for the cleaning tips!
Your only young once kiddo. Laugh, sing, dance, giggle, talk. You are such a beautiful soul. Don't let some ol'grouch take the fun out of what you are doing. Thank you for sharing your artistic talent. So many of us can't do the research. So I appreciate you doing it.
I turn my silicone resin cups inside out and roll it on the tape. Weird that you also use duct tape too lol. But its much easier to turn it inside out for me anyway.
Michaels carries off brand pva glue for $10 a gallon!
You should do a how to get flowers video, I personally collect and dry my own
I usually use a lint roller for spilled resin and then clean off any dirt with a spritz of alcohol and a lint free shop towel.
With the silicone cups i usually turn them inside out to get all the little pieces of resin out with tape. It works really well
❤️🌈❤️ That was soooooo much easier than the hot water in the sink method! So gonna do that next time.
you can also use baby wipes to help clean the cups. really gets a LOT of those little bits off too
Been hating those little droplets in my mixing cups.
Just wanted to say you're awesome and you were the inspiration to start my business
I would think elmers glue would be cheaper to use?
Oooh yes! Totally satisfying! Great ideas!
👋 heyas Spray down everything, even the matts (with a good release spray) after peeling & cleaning up.. it rehydrates the silicone & makes it last so much longer. My cups & little bowls would dry out/get brittle after a half dozen or so uses.. now I spray them & they last another twenty or more uses. Molds I spray after peeling & using packing tape donuts .. then another quick spray just before pouring. They’ve lasted & lasted.. only replaced one bc I used almost daily and I can still use it but the bottom edges got sharp from running my stir stick around to release bubbles. Pennies per use to extend the life of expensive molds & silicone tools.. and saving the planet from daily disposables 🌎🙌💯
What kind of mold release spray do you like to use? I usually don't bother with it, but just got a fairly expensive mold that would probably benefit from it😅
I too would like to know which release spray you use ? 😅
@@shaunacorrigan9372 Sprayway Silicone Spray - I got it from Amazon in 11oz red cans & it took about 10 days to arrive bc it comes from the actual company. A can lasts a long time. I was just spraying the molds quickly after cleanups but I saw somebody else saying theirs wasn’t working so I tried doing a spray right before I poured & all my pieces popped out like magic. I never wash them in the sink. I run a tape donut (cheaper packing tape works best for me bc no residue is left behind) across the surfaces BEFORE removing the piece to clean up any glitters or drizzles & then remove the pieces, any stubborn glob on top use a fingernail to loosen & continue with tape.. afterwards I spray them to rehydrate. In minutes it soaks in a disappears! Then just before pouring I step off to the side and do a quick spray. Same with the cups & bowls.. I leave a tiny bit of epoxy resin in them & let it cure, then peel it out & use the tape donuts to remove any bits.. then spray the release spray.. just before mixing up colors I step off & spray lightly. It makes it super easy to clean up afterwards 👌 Before using the spray my molds lost their shiny gloss after only a few few pours. Each pour the epoxy takes some of the finish with it. The spray makes a barrier. Silicone cups & bowls didn’t last long before they were impossible to clean without cracking. It’s just good stuff. Happy Arting!
@@nyc9721 😁 comment above 👆
@@debrajol3585 Yeah, I use packing tape too, don't see any reason to spend more money on duct tape and like you said, sometimes it leaves a residue behind. I'll definitely be ordering some of that release spray to try out. Thanks for the tip!!🤗
Totally awesomeness satisfying 😌 peel 😍 lol 😆
So so so satisfying!!! I have to go make a mess on my silicone mat so I can clean it.
Are the measuring cups a specific type of plastic?
