I totally forgot to mention that I also cured these through from the under side too 🙈🙈🙈 Also, the one that looks like a red flower was the same way but I swirled the middle as forgot on the top one 😂
Daniel! *_WHY_* are you apologizing?!? 😲 You did several experiments for us...for FREE! Now we know what works, what doesn't! You know this would have cost us a good chunk of change had we had to do it ourselves! So, THANK YOU! 💕😊💕 I truly appreciate what you do for us. ❤👍🙏
Thanks for sharing your experiments with us. When you only show what works, we only learn what to use, and not what not to use, after all. It really helps to see the experimental process, because thats what we're all doing in our own time, anyway. 😊
I think all of them were pretty interesting. The last three that you demolded were really cool! I think it's fun to experiment and see what works and what doesn't.
Thank you so much for showing what you can do & achieve with UV Resin I'm a very resin newbie & haven't really used UV Resin at all only to stick clasps on, but you have inspired me so will try & play with it. Thanks again ❤❤❤❤
Daniel, I need to get a mould release spray to spray my moulds before I put resin in but don't know which to buy, there are so many different options and I haven't a clue, please can you advise, I would be very grateful, oh and what do I do with moulds that produce 'dull' finished pieces? Do I bin the mould and buy a new one? Your help and advice would be much appreciated xx
@Julie Chambers Well, I'm not Daniel (sorry!) but whatever mold release spray you use, make SURE it is 100% silicone! I think my brand is Apel, or something like that...works great! I can't get Daniel's brand as I'm in the States. As for binning old molds, you can, BUT if you should ever make your own silicone molds (it's VERY easy), you can cut your old molds into small pieces and place inside the frame for a new mold. Maybe up to about 1/2 the volume, or a bit less. This tech saves you HUGE amounts of money. Old silicone bonds with new and makes perfectly good molds! *CAVEAT!* The old, cut up molds can NOT be colored with mica powders (does not adhere to other silicone!), and probably you should just never color your molds, anyway. HTH?
THANK YOUFOR THIS VIDEO!! I was thinking about throwing everything away because I thought I was the only one that couldn’t get the UV resin & alcohol inks to stay mixed to cure completely.
Thanks for taking one for the team Daniel. They are pretty in their own way. 🥰 I wonder if you can make some phone pop ups to show us how to get good results. I’ve made a few but not completely satisfied with the results. As they are obviously handled they need to be really smooth.
Thank you! I was playing with the gemstone effect that you showed and tried backing two of them with uv resin and black alcohol ink. It reacted very strangely. Now I know why!
Some of these are really pretty! In my experience, you’re taking your chances when curing a thick load of UV resin. Tends to have weird eruptions and bubbles. I’ve also tried the liquid pigments in UV and it messed with the curing. I’ve had better luck with mica and with alcohol ink but blowing off the alcohol and mixing the pigment in well.
They are gorgeous! That bubble is at the right place though on the first one you demolded. See… you need to transfer those inks to precision bottles! Lol Ask let’s resin for your own set with precision tips 😂 $$$ 😂
❤ that blue one and the purple. The first one is pretty too. Wonder how they would work with resin dye ink instead. I’m sure you will perfect these to your liking. Thanks for sharing these.
Finish curing and use tape. I use the cheapest packing tape I can find. Or sometimes the thicker blue painters tape. A small piece can pull a lot of drizzles & glitters out 👌 Happy Arting 🌹
I tried alcohol inks with UV. Had the same problems. I tested the inks. I placed some drops of alcohol ink in a small mold. I thought the alcohol ink would evaporate. I let the ink set 24 hours. It did not dry up and leave color behind. Instead it left a "oily" residue, and did not dry up. I even used a blow dryer to heat it up, but it never really dried.
Great experiments, Daniel. I think Let’s Resin has some colorant for UV resin. Maybe they will send you a couple of colors to try. Are you using their Hard uv resin or the soft? I think they have an original, too. I can’t think what I would want soft for.
I wonder if you can make ink with acetone. Alcohol breaks down liquid resin, but acetone seems to only thin it. Maybe that is something with which to experiment?
What if you took them outside and used something to focus the sunlight on the sections that aren't curing throughly, maybe not a magnifying Glas but glass or something to concentrate the light. ?
@@daniel..cooper Thank you. I either overfill and have to sand or under fill and with uv it shrinks. I just can’t seem to get the back flat. The other pieces that I put in bezels have no problem because the back get covered 🤪Thanks Dan🤗
I totally forgot to mention that I also cured these through from the under side too 🙈🙈🙈 Also, the one that looks like a red flower was the same way but I swirled the middle as forgot on the top one 😂
What’s the best way to do that? I am having such a terrible time with this! My colors just mix into one color
Daniel! *_WHY_* are you apologizing?!? 😲 You did several experiments for us...for FREE! Now we know what works, what doesn't! You know this would have cost us a good chunk of change had we had to do it ourselves!
So, THANK YOU! 💕😊💕 I truly appreciate what you do for us. ❤👍🙏
💯 agree 🥰
I really like how your not afraid to experiment, it makes the videos fun.
Wait for the next one 😂🤣
Your happy accidents are often better than my best work. Nice job Daniel
Thanks Mike 😊
In love with the blue one,nice job Daniel👍
Favorites are the blue and red. The last one was pretty too
Thanks Tammy 😊
Thanks for experimenting on our behalf. I really love working with the UV resin so I enjoy when you do UV resin videos. I love the purple & pink ones!
The blue and the last pendent you made is really pretty. The swirls look like little flower buds🏵🌺🌼🌻
Love watching you think through things. Love the blue one!
Daniel, I just found out the Let’s Resin now has colored UV resins available-including black UV resin! Claire did a review recently.
Yes, I do prefer to color my own at the moment though 😊😊
Cool experiment. I love the lacing of the inks in the purple and red heart. I think the blue is my fav.
Thanks for sharing your experiments with us. When you only show what works, we only learn what to use, and not what not to use, after all. It really helps to see the experimental process, because thats what we're all doing in our own time, anyway. 😊

Thank you, always good to just have a play around and see what happens 😊
Thank you for all your tutorials, I think these are great! 🌷
Love that blue one. Thank you for the helpful video.
I love the blue and red heart. I love how you show your experiments rather they work or not. Thank you so much

Another beautiful set of hearts. I appreciate you for taking us along on the test journey. ❤
So very helpful. I am just starting out and find your tutes to be invaluable. Many thanks 🤗👍
Very nice tutorial, thanks Daniel❤appreciate your hard work
Thank you! 😃
thank you for your experiments. it helps for sure what to do or not do.
Absolutely loved the blue 💙 and pink 🩷 ones. Your videos are so nice and relaxing while you help us newbies out.😅 love n support from Cumbria.
I think they’re all uniquely beautiful. My favor is the blue 😃thank you!
Love the Blue one that was swirled 💖
Thanks Deb 😊😊😊🥰
Grate video. I just bought that white pigment, so thanks for showing me how to use it. 👏🏽💯
The blue was stunning so pretty. Make great paper weights
Thanks Dan! xx 🎉
Thanks Fran 😊
They are all very nice, especially the blue& purple ones. 👍
I think they are all unique in their own right, what you do is incredible, stop putting yourself down, look forward to seeing what you create next xx

Wow the last three are lovely ❤
Thanks Nicky 😊
That first one with the bubble or hole...add a gem. But these are really all cool.
Daniel, they are gorgeous! I am going to give them a go tomorrow.
Thank you 😊 Have fun 😊
THANK YOUFOR THIS VIDEO!! I was thinking about throwing everything away because I thought I was the only one that couldn’t get the UV resin & alcohol inks to stay mixed to cure completely.
It can be tricky but can also be done, the issue I was having was the alcohol was pulling into the middle and puddling on some.
@@daniel..cooper me too.
Thanks for taking one for the team Daniel. They are pretty in their own way. 🥰

Thanks Sue, I will look into it, I have another brand but Pop Sockets as a company are really hot on people using other brands as far as I know?
The blue one was my favourite. I work mostly with UV resin and this is definitely something I might want to have a go at.
Thanks 😊 Have fun creating 😊
Blue and the purplish red ate my faves
They're all very pretty. You make it look so easy. I've yet to make anything I'm pleased with.
The last 3 were ace 😊
Thank you! I was playing with the gemstone effect that you showed and tried backing two of them with uv resin and black alcohol ink. It reacted very strangely. Now I know why!
Fabulous 🤩
Love that blue one!!
Thanks Laura 😊 🫂
Holy cow your amazing with uv resin
You have evolved into a great teacher! Great great job? Can you do a tutorial on backing up hearts and cabochans?😊
Thank you 😊 Do you mean just topping them up?
Yes. I always seem to get a sharp edge
Lovely effects
Thanks Kim 😊

New to your channel. I love the yellow one. Looks like a Kowhai tree flower in New Zealand! Well done!
Thanks and welcome 😊😊😊

Question how do u clean the molds when done, I’m brand new to this :)

I wonder if it would make a difference if you used the warming mat...it would definitely change the viscosity of the clear.
Genius! That would work, I would need to have it to the side though if I tried it so that the pigments do not sink in the molds 😊😊😊
I have had the same reaction with RED alcohol ink and UV resin. But only with the RED. Curious.
They're cute
I wonder if you can make ink with acetone. Alcohol breaks down liquid resin, but acetone seems to only thin it. Maybe that is something with which to experiment?
❤
Is the white you are using the same as the sinker white?? Love all your work 😊
No, this is a pigment paste 😊
Would the 10 minute resin work inside the uv resin?
I'm not sure, I will probably try at some point 😂
What if you took them outside and used something to focus the sunlight on the sections that aren't curing throughly, maybe not a magnifying Glas but glass or something to concentrate the light. ?
It seems to me that the red alcohol inks are the ones you had the most issue with.
Very pretty! Are you gonna try these with 1:1?
Sure am 😊 I did film it, just need edit it 😊😊
@@daniel..cooper Thank you. I either overfill and have to sand or under fill and with uv it shrinks. I just can’t seem to get the back flat. The other pieces that I put in bezels have no problem because the back get covered 🤪Thanks Dan🤗

Have you tried nail polish in resin?
