#21- How to make a 3D resin geode, part 2

Thank you for watching! Follow along as I continue the process of creating a 3D resin geode. In this video, I will add the first layer of resin and walk you through each step of my process. Stay tuned for a short "Part 3" video in which I will show you how I make stone edges and how I paint my geode with paint markers and other supplies.

Wow, so so pretty, going to watch part 3 now

[@missraerae222]

In love with this!

Thanks for watching!

Beautiful! Maybe you could find a natural spectrum light bulb for a gooseneck lamp that could help with your projects and videos. With a gooseneck lamp you can easily move the light and they are not too obtrusive and wouldn't take up too much room on your work space ( there are clamp on styles also ) . Just love your work and am excited about watching the next video on the finished project.

Totally beautiful. I like this better than the free-form one I just watched. This one looks artistic with the other one more crafty. Of coarse just my opinion. 👍😊👍

Thanks so much for watching!

Very beautiful ❣️How did you create the hole in middle

[@thefrugalresinista]

I did a tutorial in part 1 of this geode video. I believe it is my video #19. It will give you all the details!

Can you share the names of the colors you used for this? Love it!!

[@thefrugalresinista]

Yikes! I'm not sure now. It was quite a few weeks ago and I sold it. I use almost all Apple Barrel brand paint so it would be in their cheapest collection. I did also use Ranger brand Alcohol Ink in metallic gold. You can get both on my Amazon site as well as the glass that I used at www.amazon.com/shop/thefrugalresinista. Hope that helps!

What is the paint to resin ratio? This is gorgeous, by the way. Enjoying my morning coffee while watching all three of these videos. Thanks for sharing! Your channel rocks!

[@thefrugalresinista]

Thank you so much! I try to use a 1 part paint to 10 part resin ratio or even a bit less to make sure the resin cures all the way.

eBay has really good pigments for cheap! Just pick the sort option and choose the lowest price plus shipping to get the lowest prices first, or closest location as well.

The white sand with the crushed gold looks a lot like quartz crystal!😍

[@thefrugalresinista]

Thanks for the info!

How long did you have to wait between pours

[@thefrugalresinista]

Since I'm using the Stonecoat Countertops Quick Coat resin, I basically mixed up a second batch as soon as I was done pouring the first. From mixing batch #1 to batch #2 was probably about 25 to 30 minutes. I wait overnight for things to cure fully before adding a flood coat to any of my work. Thanks for watching!
