Thank you for your tips and tricks I found it very helpful as I am new to resin I have an heat gun but it's more than useless I have been looking a heat guns for a while now and you have helped me so much I am about to order the furno 500 your art piece is amazing really enjoyed your tutorial thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and talent your awesome xx
You probably are better at preparing, but I am always dipping my hair in the resin, and alot of times don't notice until I try to brush my hair and have to cut out chunks of resin. It does force me to trim up my hair some tho...very lovely effects, and colors are stunning, gives me another style to attempt to imitate, thanks for all the tips!
Thankfully I have only found resin in my hair twice and it was still wet so cleaned out with alcohol. Lord knows I could use a trim more then I think 🤣. Have fun creating!
Beautiful Janet! And you’re right about the metallic really shining up when dry! Those close up shots are fantastic! Thanks always for sharing so many great tips!💖💞💖💞
Hmm this was so great and informative! I’ve done this kind of technique with paints but never thought to do with resin itself! Will definitely have to try doing an abstract resin art piece! The effects are really gorgeous and those tips are really handy! 😍
Turned out really pretty Janet. That copper is just gorgeous when the sun hits it. I was thinking lines would really tie it all together. Then you added some with your spatula/scraper tool. So cool 😍😍😍
I love your channel and your creations thanks for sharing I just started creating art with resin and I have to say you are a true life saver thank you 🙏🏽
Hi Janet, I just found your channel and I love what to teach, thank you. I’m a Music instrument builder, and watching you has given me some fantastic ideas, thank you.
I like yr heat gun, it's a Wagner from Germany. They make some of the best tools..I have a home Depot one. It didn't come with anything. I wish I had yr nozzle. Where can I get one?? It might fit mine?
I appreciate this video! I bought a Wagner heat gun on a whim (300 not 500 but I think they’re similar enough) because I heard they’re a great investment if you’re working with resin. I don’t think I’ll be using it on the UV resin charms I’ve got going on now (seems like overkill for those) but I’ve now gotten several ideas for pieces using 2 part resin in the future, and it’s all thanks to your video. I feel much more confident on what I can use it for, now. Thank you!
I have not yet tried UV resin. It is VERY different from Epoxy Resins. I agree with you, no need to use a heat gun on UV just stir slow when mixing to reduce potential bubbles. UV is perfect for small items like your charms. A heat gun is a game changer for large resin pours for artwork. You are going to have fun seeing what it can do. Enjoy! 😁
Oh my goodness Margo you are so kind! Thank you! ❤️ I have not tried that brand and this was the first time I used The Epoxy Resin Store's - Epoxy Resin Crystal Clear for general use and it performed wonderfully, and the price is great.
Hello, I love your piece! Thank you for sharing. Quick question, when you use spray paint for your canvas, is the first step to use a coat of clear resin, let dry for 24 hours, sand, then spray paint, then add the thin layer of resin before you being pouring colors?
Thank you 😊. When I start with a canvas first thing is to make sure the canvas has not stretched and sag. It should sound like a drum when you tap it. This video shows how I prep a canvas - th-cam.com/video/P_OVbEsbWn4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Kristin. In this video that was the process. I spray painted canvas gray and allowed to dry. I then used the same gray spray paint to color the resin I coated the entire canvas as base layer. Then started adding other colored resin pools and worked with the heat gun. Hope that makes sense.
I need a better button strategy on my heat gun...I tried plastic wrap that I replace every few pours. It's an OK solution but wondering how you keep your gun/button clean? I get resin all over my gloves and can't imagine changing to clean gloves for every heat zap.
I DO get resin on my gloves but also careful to avoid as much as possible. I keep a roll of paper towels and a bottle of isopropyl alcohol on my work table. If my gloves are sticky I wipe them down in alcohol soaked paper towel. At the end of creating and after the heat gun has cooled down I wipe it clean as well. Hope that helps you.
Thank you Wendy. Do some research for your own peace of mind and safety as I do not know much and I am not a professional on this topic. Here are some things I do for myself. Work in area that can be ventilated. I have a fan in window. Wear good quality nitrile gloves and avoid allowing resin contact skin. When sanding dry resin I wear a dust mask, safety glasses, and gloves. I keep a fire extinguisher handy at all times when using a torch or heat gun. Be safe ❤️
Thanks. I support the canvas with either a piece of picture mat board or a very thin type of plywood called luan. I then support by placing cups and paint sticks where needed to hold it level. I thought I had demonstrated in a video but apparently not. I will have to do that in the future.
This is the most informative video on epoxy art that I have seen. Have you had problems with scorching resin with the gun? Also, I had problems getting my epoxy to move--maybe my heat was too low.
👍🏻Good question! Anybody can have times when the resin might scorch. All resin has a limit on time that it is workable. When that time limit is ending the chance of scorch is greater from any heat source being used to manipulate the resin. Check out this video - th-cam.com/video/q-tgGsvuuf0/w-d-xo.html In it I used a resin that had a high viscosity right from the start. I discuss how I approached working the piece to get it to perform with good results. Thanks for watching 😀
Thank you so much for sharing this incredible artwork. Stunningly beautiful design. I have never worked with resin, but am interested in learning how to create smaller projects. This is an excellent tutorial on the process and tools that you used. Love the design.
I'm about to get started creating resin & your piece here is the look I want to emulate..in my own way. Very beautiful. The tutorial is brilliant, keep them coming :)
There could be several reasons like what you used to color your resin, large quantity of mixed resin in a container for to long, air temperature over 78ºF, applying to much heat while manipulating the resin. I have experienced each one of those and always say that I do my best learning from my mistakes.
@@MoonkusserArt Thanks a lot for the great tips! Yeah air temperature was 85ºF (I live in SoCal) and was dry (20% humidity). I'll try it out then when it's colder. Great channel, keep it up please!
To do this technique, yes. Both torch and heat gun is needed. The torch is what plumbers use. It can be turned upside down and the flame does not go out. It use canisters of propane.
Thanks 😊. If you have the same heat gun when you first turn it on, that should be the medium setting. The display would show 3 red bars, and fan on low. I think 🤔
your work is inspiring ❤... I'm a beginner and wanted to understand if we could get the same effect by using black and white mica powder instead of pigment paste?
Thanks Ayesha. Mica powders are lighter and so they typically float up in resin and have more drift type of effect. Pastes like to sink and combine more thoroughly into the resin. Different looks from each.
Dang it I had an metal IV pole for home use,years ago the company didn't want it back ,zo I threw it away ,just now I wished I saved it ,hind sight 20 20 lol
I have such a problem with my pets hair always floating around and dropping into my resin. I will try to see if I can find that insulation board you used, but my question is the plastic wrap. What did you use for that and how did you wrap the project while you wait for it to dry? Also, did you do a top coat after you were done? Or just the general purpose? I am going to give this resin a try. It is much cheaper than KS Resin. I wasnt sure which one to buy. Thanks so much! Inlove your work and your video is excellent for teaching!
I don’t let my pets into my studio to attempt from getting pet hair in the resin. The plastic is a disposable and very inexpensive painters drop cloth. I just drape it over the whole thing while it cures. No need to do a different top coat as the general purpose is great for that as well. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. 😁
GORGOUS , I LOVE IT/ I ALSO SUBSCIBED LIKED N SHARED THIS . THANKYOU FOR THR TIPS N TRICKS I BOUGHT EVERYTHING TO START WITH A PROJECT N THEN SOME LOL BUT I ALSO HAVE THE EXACT SAME HEAT GUN MY BOYFRIEND BOUGHT ME FOR DOING RESIN PROJECTS SO I AM EAGER TO SEE HOW WELL IT WORKS . THANKS FOR SHARING / MAY TRY TODAY .. HAPPY PAINTING !!!!!!!!!
Hi, can this lacing effect be done in the same way using a clear resin base coat instead of a coloured one? Or do I have to add gloss spray paint to the base resin to get the cells? I absolutely love this effect and I’ve purchased the heat gun attachments but I have a table with a cut out in the middle which I have lined with foil. I want to pour a base of clear resin and then pour colours and do what you have done in this video to get the cell effects with the foil showing through the lacing. Please tell me if I should add clear gloss paint or silicone to my base resin or if I should be using spray paints for my colours instead of pastes and mica powders? I love this and keep watching it but just want it in a clear base coat x
You can get lacing results in clear resin by doing combinations of what you work into the project. I would recommend practicing on test project to better understand how the colors might work together. Check out this video - th-cam.com/video/uGSwlSjtc9g/w-d-xo.html I worked the metallics into a clear coat of resin over a background that I had previously painted and dried. Good luck with your project and enjoy creating! 💕
I use the Wagner Furno 500. It has 1500 Watts. The key importance for me is that it has variable heat & speed settings which provides effective results for better results on larger resin work.
I found this one at Walmart - goto.walmart.com/c/2553652/568840/9383?veh=aff&sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&prodsku=454805881&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FMASTER-APPLIANCE-35294-Heat-Gun-Attachment-Attachment-5-16-In%2F454805881&intsrc=PUI2_4289 Hopefully it's the right size to fit your heat gun.
Yes we can. You must be very careful to not add more than 10% to the volume of resin. Acrylic paint is water based and can accelerate the thermal reaction of resin to the point that it will "kick" hot and turn to a hot blob in your cup. Products made specifically for epoxy resin avoid that problem.
I love the way you go into detail and explain step by step.
Thanks Brandy. Appreciate that 😁
wow those nozzles are game changers
They really do help to get some different details.
You are the best explaining from zero, step by step; that matters and is valuable for the subscribers ... Thanks, continue like this ...

from Germany. They make some of the best tools..I have a home Depot one. It didn't come with anything. I wish I had yr nozzle. Where can I get one?? It might fit mine?
I bought the set of 6 nozzles on Amazon. Measure your heat gun nozzle and check size which should be listed in product info before buying.
Astounding!! So breathtaking! Wonderful to have such examples like you to follow!! Thank you!
Well you made me blush 😊. Thank you for your kindness Marica 💕

Nice setup. Tips for gun great to see.
The accessory tips are a game changer! Love mine 😁
I use the wide flat one and don't think to change it. Thanks
Hello ! I find your demonstration very interesting and the result is beautiful. But the cells are produced only by the heat gun ? Merci.
The heat gun blows the different colors of resin over the other causing cells. I then use the torch to expand and define the cells more.
Forget the “Like” button... where’s the “LOVE” button!!!
Amazing product and video! I use StoneCoat for my artwork!❤️
Oh my goodness Margo you are so kind! Thank you! ❤️

So the colored resin should only be poured over wet resin as the base coat? Love how this turned out!

Thank you so much for sharing, the piece you have done is beautiful.
I am happy to share techniques. Thank you Linny 😁
beautiful artwork. I have bugs i used in the resin its a bit tacky how do I do a proper curing with a heatgun?
If it is tacky after 24 hours it means that your mix ratios were not correct and using a heat gun on it will not get it to cure.
Thank you so much for sharing this incredible artwork. Stunningly beautiful design. I have never worked with resin, but am interested in learning how to create smaller projects. This is an excellent tutorial on the process and tools that you used. Love the design.

This is so great and stunning 🤩! Question, my resin dried up on my so quickly (less than 10 mins), any tips on why that happened?

@@MoonkusserArt Thanks a lot for the great tips! Yeah air temperature was 85ºF (I live in SoCal) and was dry (20% humidity). I'll try it out then when it's colder. Great channel, keep it up please!

To answer your question my favorite tool is my large table in my studio. Next heat gun, then metallic pigmentsGlad i found you. Deb
Very true Deb. A large work table is nice 👍🏻 Glad you found me too 😁
Can you talk about the torch you used? Do I need a torch and a heat gun?
To do this technique, yes. Both torch and heat gun is needed.
The torch is what plumbers use. It can be turned upside down and the flame does not go out. It use canisters of propane.
Thank you so much for showing this technique ...fabulous results xxx love debs in Spain.
Happy to hear you enjoyed it Debs 😊
Thankyou, for the medium Waggner heat setting what would the temperature be.
You are welcome. This heat gun does not show the exact measurement, only as measured in bar indicators.
Great Video! When do you say medium heat, how much is that exactly cause I have the same heat gun and it has quite a lot of range?
Thanks
Thanks 😊. If you have the same heat gun when you first turn it on, that should be the medium setting. The display would show 3 red bars, and fan on low. I think 🤔

There would be a few ways I might have used one if I got my hands on one 😁
Amazing artwork!
Thank you so much 😀
Can you achieve this same look in a small flat mold? Like perhaps in a coaster mold?
I have not tried. When using molds during the cure process the resin reacts differently and pulls toward the center of the mold.
Moonkusser Art any suggestions on how to get a crackled look in a mold?
I am sorry, but I do not if you are looking to use a mold.
Yes,Yes,Yes... The whole piece is killer!
Thanks a lot Bonita 😁
Beautiful 🙏

Are you mixing the paint with resin
Yes I am.
I really liked the cells affect! How i get this effect?
Glad you like it Mariam. Techniques and products are all in the tutorial 👍🏻 to help you learn how to recreate on your own artwork.
i just got the Wagner 300 and hope that it will be sufficient to create those cells
That model does not have variable blower speed settings which I find very helpful.

Can we mix acrylic colour with epoxy resins
Yes we can. You must be very careful to not add more than 10% to the volume of resin. Acrylic paint is water based and can accelerate the thermal reaction of resin to the point that it will "kick" hot and turn to a hot blob in your cup. Products made specifically for epoxy resin avoid that problem.
Great Work. Thank you so much. Q; What heat setting for your Wagner gun?

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing...👌
