If you want to know about the hot water bath then watch at 7 minutes. Also, please skim through comments to see if your question was answered before asking. I have answered many comments that ask questions that are answered in the video AND answered under many other comments 😂 thank you!

You the only person I found who actually got straight to the point and explain soooo good Thankyou! I gave you a like on this video this definitely helped💯
Learning from someone when I was a newbie to watch for cloudiness and streaks was the most important thing I learnt early on. In over two years using resin I have never had a bad mix because I learnt this :) It's an awesome tip.
You are the ONLY person, after watching dozens!!!!! of videos who has mentioned the yellowing or age of the resin!!! I sure wish I knew that before buying gallon sized resin. Thank you.
I am planning on pouring my first resin tomorrow. I know it is very important that the resin is mixed properly. You have helped me a lot. Wish me luck!❤
Newbie here doing some research on how to get started and the ins and outs of resin art. This video was very informative and straight to the point. Thats what I needed!! Thank you 😁
this was sooo needed.everything you said was accurate.Im a beginner and had no clue past half and half.I thought the stir was 5 mins,which explains the cloudiness,And the turn out of that cloudy pour is very sticky even after two weeks setting up.Thank you so much for this video.Ill definitely be keeping up with you
Hi...I'm new to resin....I have bought everything I will need and have watched a million videos. I have seen other videos that say to do the bath but this is the only video that actually shows you HOW to do it. While I reading through some of the comments I seen where you were talking about the temp of it and about the temp it is when you pour it. I didnt know it needed to be at a specific temp first. I haven't tried mixing anything yet, been terrified of it honestly after I bought it all lol.
Glad you finally got to see how the bath worked 🥰 I did an updated temp video that goes into a lot of detail that I recommend you watch. It will help you know how and when to pour 😁
Great tips! I'm going to do my first pour today. I am a total newbie and this info was very helpful! Thank you! :) And you skipped your life story and just gave the tips! :D
I'm new to this and have had some very mixed results. Now I know why. Thank you for explaining and I look forward to trying resin again, hopefully with better results.
I encourage you to check out my newest video where I have updated mixing tips. I linked it in the description. there is so much more to epoxy than this video so I created a video that had everything I could think of for mixing :D good luck with your projects!
The 2nd method in the bath water is nothing I've seen from other TH-camRS. Most of them put part A and part B in the bath water. NOW I KNOW THE CORRECT WAY TO DO IT. ONLY PUT THE THICKER PART IN THE BATH WATER THEN ONCE 10 MINUTES HAS PAST. MIX BOTH PARTS TOGETHER. THANK YOUUUUUUU. I must invest in a silcome splatter.
You’re welcome! I find just heating the one part helps keep my working time longer but you can put both, I just don’t find it necessary haha. Also sometimes your water is hot enough that you don’t have to wait 10 mins. Just test it out and see if it is moving thinner after about 5 mins and go from there 😁
Thank you very much, Just come across your Video and it is very helpful. In my country a lot of people who have knowledge about certain things are stingy with information. I have Subscribed to your channel and looking forward to learn more.
Thank you Ashley. Just made my first tumbler and your video was super easy. I watched about 12 before I found one that made sense. Could you added what are best measurements for tumblers? I feel like I did not have enough.
sure! I have lots of tips, is it for casting or just regular small projects? do you have a torch? have you tried alcohol? mix slowly no matter the resin.
Thanks for getting straight to the point and not wasting time 💗 Can you tell me how long you let your resin rest before pouring (After it's mixed) Thanks 😊
absolutely! You don't have to let it rest but if you do, don't let it get over 100 degrees. it will set up so fast at that point. If you pour right away though it is usually around 70ish and it will take a lot longer to cure and be slightly less strong
Meka - I tried to show it in the video. It is hard to get the camera to angle right. When you start mixing, the resin and the hardener won’t both be clear, keep mixing until it is fully clear. If your resin is warm then it should be easy to mix
Thank you so much for this information. I am a newbie and I want to start tomorrow. After mixing, how long do I wait before pouring it in my mould please? Thank you 🙏.
Thank you for the video.I have a question. How long we need to wait for the sticky resin to dry? Because we did one resin art for keychain but it hasn't dry for two days. How to overcome this problem?
Is there a reason why you're not doing the bath for the ticker fluid while it's in the container? Would it be detrimental to the rest of it to be relaxed more then just prior to use?
I just bought all the stuff to start learning how to do this. Seems about the hardest part I'm going to keep following you and learning. Then I found out about having to send things and shellacom drilling holes I don't know if I have all those things.. I'm going to try and make popsockets first keychains and little boxes I have glitter and color and molds. I'm chicken to do the mixing part I have gloves a mask. Thank you again for your video
I was just about to use some resin that was old and yellow. I was going to watch some more video's before i did my project. You said don't use old resin. That you. It was very important i have clear resin. Wow that would if been bad. Thanks no other video's have said that. It isn't in the directions either.
Thanks for the tips I'm just starting out using this stuff I had to stand one coat off & start over I tried what u said it seem to be better then the last time I mixed .
you're welcome :D work with a warmer resin. you can also use alcoho to spray on top and it will create cool effects and get rid of surface bubbles. Or you can use a blow torch (do not torch after alcohol, you will start a fire and burn your resin). blow torch is the most effective. Just don't use heat in cheap molds, they will stick to the resin and ruin the mold when you try to take it out
Hi good evening I was wondering how can I fix the projects that I have done that actually you can move them they didn’t get hired completely how can I fix that
if you can still sand it, then try sanding and pouring a new layer but most times if my project is too flimsy I'll redo so I'm giving the best possible product to someone who buys
Wadeema Aldhhaeri bubbles happen in most resins and you can get them out by torching or alcohol. Just don't torch after alcohol lol you will start a fire
Hi. I’m new to this I have bought a few bits to have ago at small things letters, a fish,diamond shape, so I’m going to have ago and put some little stars in x I have just watched your video over mixing your resin and Gardner. 👍🏼

One thing should be noted for "newbies" if your resin bottles have the same color lids(I saw yours was different colors) take a sharpie and mark a A or 1 on the lid and do the same on the bottle. That way if you open them both at the same time you won't put the hardner lid on the resin bottle. Really a pain to get off if it hardens. Lol. Best to just open and close one bottle at a time. But opening both at once does happen.
So my studio in my basement is cold. But I always use a space heater near my work area while mixing and curing. I'm currently making bookmarks and they are bendy after curing for 3 DAYS!!! I thought I wasn't mixing correctly but I am super careful about that. Why would they still be bendy?? My resin is relatively new, I usually use it all after only a week or 2 of purchasing. I have tried everything 😢 please help me!!!
Your video is soooo helpful! I have a question. If i make keychains or jewelry or any other stuff from resin, will those things start yellowing after some months??? Plz answer!
2 questions.. can you zap resin in microwave for few seconds? mixed together or just hardener? Also. what causes dimples when used over acrylic pour . I'm not using silicone. thxu
Jill Zidaritz ohhh I’ve never put it in a microwave! I honestly would call stonecoat countertops number and ask, they answer all kinds of questions. I personally would prefer the bath over microwave because I wouldn’t want food to go in the microwave after chemicals just got zapped hahaha. But only heat the one part before you mix the two together! The thicker part. For stonecoat that’s part a the resin. For art resin if I remember correctly their hardener was the thicker part. Never heat after mixing the two together. When they’re mixed together a chemical reaction is happening and the curing process begins. Heating it will speed that up. As for the second question, could depend on a lot of things, are you pouring on a canvas or wood acrylic piece? Is the acrylic fully dried? Did you clean the acrylic? Even without silicone, acrylic is not nice to resin 😂 I always recommend cleaning with 91% or higher alcohol. This will ensure it is cleaned and dry before pouring. If it’s on canvas, the back must be braced properly, if it’s on wood you have to do a sealing layer first because the wood is sucking it all up and then lightly sand and do a second. Hope that makes sense! Let me know if any of that helped 😁
Every mix gets bubbles unless it’s a casting resin so don’t worry about them, just work with warmer resin, mix slower and pop them after they rise to the top :)
after mixing, you can apply straight away. If you don't then it will cure in the cup lol. make sure your project is ready for resin, not sure what medium you're using but make sure it is fully dried :D
Hello, love the video very informative. I was curious, what type of resin to use that would be better for small project's? Im a beginner and experimenting on smaller projects like coasters, and biggest project being trinket boxes. Thank you for any advice.
Felicia Muniz hey Felicia! So both those projects would have different recommendations from me. Coasters you can use art resin, puduo, is resin, diy counter culture, and faux rizzle. For casting a trinket box you want a casting resin. Easier to mix and less bubbles. Casting resins I recommend are from theepoxyresinstore- clear cast 7050, diy counter culture also has an amazing one 😘
If you want to know about the hot water bath then watch at 7 minutes. Also, please skim through comments to see if your question was answered before asking. I have answered many comments that ask questions that are answered in the video AND answered under many other comments 😂 thank you!

Wow, thank you! Yeah it took me a bit to realize this myself because there are so many uninformative videos out there hahaha. Glad I could help
This video is what I was looking for in understanding why the epoxy I mixed didn’t mix well. Thank you for the clear and detailed explanations.
I am planning on pouring my first resin tomorrow. I know it is very important that the resin is mixed properly. You have helped me a lot. Wish me luck!❤
This was so helpful! Thank you. first time user here.
Awesome! I am so happy it helps 🥰
Why did I make my first batch and come watch this after ?!?!! Omg I should have watched this first thank you for the details!
stepceil90 sounds like something I would do 😂
I appreciate knowing how long (roughly) to mix the resin, as well as the advice to keep scraping! Thanks!
i like how you explain, to the point and not takes a long time. hoho thank u for making this video, very helping ! 🙆❤️
You're welcome 😊 I do have an updated one that is longer but explains temperature in full detail if you need it. :D
Newbie here doing some research on how to get started and the ins and outs of resin art. This video was very informative and straight to the point. Thats what I needed!! Thank you 😁
I'm using colors and so I've found it helpful to mix the color in the resin first before combining with the hardner.

Thank you for this video I’m new at this and I need all the help I can get , you don’t know how much braver I feel going forward after watching this
Great video , I followed your tip of thickener in hot water , worked a treat , mixed ,dyed and poured in less than 5 minutes , result was perfect .
Yayyy so happy that helped! 🥰 thanks for watching

This is such a good Tutorial, I love it, I'm using this video as a reference in my Year 11 Subject
Does resin stick when is out of the molds
No it shouldn’t be sticky. If it is then you may have mixed your resin wrong or have a bad mold of it keeps happening

What's the best countertop epoxy have you used?
Very informative! So when putting it in hot water… is it without a top?
I'd say, another good tip is to add the resin to the hardener, not vice versa.
I love this video.... Just looking for a follow up on how to get the bubbles out
Just replied. I have a lot of comments I am working through 😁
Today I learnt that I've been undermixing my resin significantly. Cheers for the insights
AoS Coach Omgsh I am so happy to help! 🥰
Where is the link to your store?
Thank you Ashley. Just made my first tumbler and your video was super easy. I watched about 12 before I found one that made sense. Could you added what are best measurements for tumblers? I feel like I did not have enough.
Sure! I’ll actually be making a couple tumblers coming up 🥰 so I’ll be sure to measure and get that info on there 😁
Thanks for the information...it was very informative...
Thank you for the video! Where can I buy resin and hardener?
I've been using faux rizzle lately. If you go to a recent video of mine I have it linked and a discount :D

Hi, What is the ideal room temperture when working with resin. Thank you,
Could you please give tips for avoid bubbles
sure! I have lots of tips, is it for casting or just regular small projects? do you have a torch? have you tried alcohol? mix slowly no matter the resin.
What is the ratio of part A and part B?
1:1
every resin has a different ratio. This one is a 1:1. Be certain to check with your resin before mixing that way though
Is the thinner part the hardener or smth?
Livy Moore every resin is different. This one the thinner is part b the hardener
Hi, How do you get rid of the bubbles ? for a crystal clear setting ?
Great vid! How long should I let it sit in the warm water?
Until it's runnier. It takes about 3-5 minutes 😁
Nice clear video. Str8 to the point. Loved it. Big help for me. I've never used resin and I'm gearing up to try. Thanks.
Perfect!!! I am so happy to help 🥰 don’t hesitate to reach out if you need help when starting those projects
Thank you so much straight to the point and very informative
So, if you want to add colors to it do you mix until clear before you add the colors?
Can we use a mini battery blender for mixing A and B
Cinta Johnson I would assume no. Too many bubbles and hard to clean immediately or else you can’t reuse
Thanks for getting straight to the point and not wasting time 💗 Can you tell me how long you let your resin rest before pouring (After it's mixed) Thanks 😊
absolutely! You don't have to let it rest but if you do, don't let it get over 100 degrees. it will set up so fast at that point. If you pour right away though it is usually around 70ish and it will take a lot longer to cure and be slightly less strong

Does a heat gun do the same as a hot water bath?
kinda, I feel like it would very unevenly heat it up and that could be very bad.
What exactly do the streaks look like like can you describe it I couldn’t really see it in the video
Meka - I tried to show it in the video. It is hard to get the camera to angle right. When you start mixing, the resin and the hardener won’t both be clear, keep mixing until it is fully clear. If your resin is warm then it should be easy to mix
Thank you so much for this information. I am a newbie and I want to start tomorrow. After mixing, how long do I wait before pouring it in my mould please? Thank you 🙏.
If I am using yellowed resin, would using blue or red coloring hide it well?
when the container says 1:1 by volume I measure each in a silicone cup marked in oz's. Is this correct?
yes :D
How do I clean the mixing spatula?
Thank you for the video.I have a question. How long we need to wait for the sticky resin to dry? Because we did one resin art for keychain but it hasn't dry for two days. How to overcome this problem?
that should've dried I'm assuming. what resin did you use?
Hey i just had to ask that after keeping it in the water bath, do we wait for it to cool down, or do we combine it with the hardener straight up?
Is there a reason why you're not doing the bath for the ticker fluid while it's in the container? Would it be detrimental to the rest of it to be relaxed more then just prior to use?
Is Dr.Craf a good brand to use
never heard of it. what do you plan on using it for? I can recommend a good brand
What about the bubbles
I just bought all the stuff to start learning how to do this. Seems about the hardest part I'm going to keep following you and learning. Then I found out about having to send things and shellacom drilling holes I don't know if I have all those things.. I'm going to try and make popsockets first keychains and little boxes I have glitter and color and molds. I'm chicken to do the mixing part I have gloves a mask. Thank you again for your video

Hi. Can I use hair dryer instead of air dryer? Thanks
I wouldn’t. Hair dryers suck dust in one end and out the other and would cause a lot of dust getting into your resin. It also doesn’t get as hot
Which one is the thicker one? They seem the same to me.
Hi can I spray my mold with something shiny because the inside part of the mold comes out dual or can I stray the whole item when done thanks
What's is used this mixture for? Is it help in electroplating?
Thanks for the tips I'm just starting out using this stuff I had to stand one coat off & start over I tried what u said it seem to be better then the last time I mixed .
awesome! just know resin is tricky and be patient with yourself. You will get it :D
I'm happy that you're still responding to the comments😄😄... I'm a beginner too...can you please answer me how to get rid of bubbles 💙💙💙
you're welcome :D work with a warmer resin. you can also use alcoho to spray on top and it will create cool effects and get rid of surface bubbles.

How long did you let part A sit hot bath
about 5 minutes. just until it is runnier
Understood but is it ok if there was bubbles? If not then how do we get them out?
Wadeema Aldhhaeri bubbles happen in most resins and you can get them out by torching or alcohol. Just don't torch after alcohol lol you will start a fire
How long did you leave the hardener sitting in water?
until it got more liquid flowing. there isn't a specific time because it depends on how hot the water is. I would say maybe 5 mins
Very informative I love it
Thanks!!!
Thank you, how hot should the water be that you sit your resin in 😊
I don’t measure. It’s just got water from my sink. You don’t want lukewarm

@@abstractboss this has been really helpful xx
do you need to add more hardener or just equal as the resin?
The resin I use is equal parts. I currently use diamond coat platinum
Resin and hardener I need to put the same amount? Or resin need more than hardener?
Depends on your brand. I currently use diamond coat platinum and it’s equal parts
@@abstractboss thank you for replying 😊
Awesome video! What do you do about the bubbles though? Or do they not show up in your projects?
I don't really have a problem with bubbles unless I'm casting. I can do a different video on casting big projects later
Can i use hard plastic cups instead of silicon
Im beginner
I’m a newbie this was very helpful. Thank you 🙏🏽
Perfect! I’ll be doing an updated one soon with more tips :)
Great video
How do you get ride of bubbles once you’ve poured for your project? Could you use a hair dryer if you i don’t own a heat gun ?

Is the hardener and resin same amount?
Carlos Cornelio for this brand yes
Sorry, I really don't get the bath part. Was it pouring the resin into the cup and pour hot water around the cup with resin in it?
Axl Pradó pour resin into a cup and place that cup in a bowl or container of hot water. Just don’t let water get inside your cup of resin
How long do we put it in the bath
About 5 mins, just until it gets runny. Don’t let water get in it
Your video is soooo helpful! I have a question. If i make keychains or jewelry or any other stuff from resin, will those things start yellowing after some months??? Plz answer!
