I literally just bought these molds & then your video popped up (liked 👍& subscribed). I had in mind to use resin, but did gypsum for my first set. I can't thank you enough for sharing, as I am new to using resin (have only made a few items). Your video was so helpful & beautiful work! 💞🙏😃👍👏👏👏
What product did you use? I want to try jesmonite so badly! It's hard to get here though! I looked into white cement but bulky the time you add enough sand and aggregate for it to be sturdy I'm not sure how functional it would be in fussier molds...
How can you prevent the bubbles from forming in the mold? I've tried everything. Letting the resin sit in the cup before pouring to allow bubbles to rise and when pouring it in the mold, it still manage to get in there. Any tips would be appreciated 💜
Where are the bubbles forming on just the back or like in the corners of the piece when you demold? If they are on what becomes the front you may have to run a toothpick around the edges and inside to release any trapped air pockets for the back side spritz with alcohol every 10 minutes or so until the bubbles stop forming. Some of the best resin artist I have seen still get some bubbles.... some people do run a heat gun on their molds. I personally don't because I've melted some of the cheaper mold to my resin that way...
@@RaesTurquoiseTurtle they move toward the bottom on the sides if that makes sense. If you run your fingers along the surface on the bottom after the curing period, you could feel where the bubbles were. I learned my lesson with the heat gun on those tealight molds! 😂😅 I'll have to try with the toothpick tip you suggested!
Those are so very beautiful 😍 I love the video and I just found you today. I may go to your channel and be nosey.. I hope you do not mind. I am not a youtuber just a artist/ crafter. Thanks for your time. Take care. HUGS Sheryl 💙🎨💙
All of these are beautiful! And they’ll look even prettier with the no-flame tea lights.
I really like them will have to make a few to keep!
my gf bought these molds awhile ago as we're both playing around with resin and she seems to have a lot of fun with them.
Awesome! I really like them. I added a battery tealight for retail...
Thank you so much for this video! I bought the mold and couldn’t figure out how to use it. This was very helpful!
No problem they come out realllyyyy cute!
Those are all so pretty! I love the lilac with the not overdone just right glitter! Thanks for sharing💗

Thanks for this video. Was wondering what is in the big cup? Thank you.

How long did they rake to set?
These particular molds set up pretty fast, I unmolded one set at like 6 hours....
Hi .. won’t you get air bubbles without blow torch
Not in a thin mold like this you can fuse the resin to the mold and rip it
Where can I get that mold
Mine came from amazon.
How much resin did it take to complete this mould? Approximately ?
For both I think it's around 160 to 180 mls.... I haven't poured them in quite some time though.....
@@RaesTurquoiseTurtle okay thanks ❤️
How much resin and harderner is required for making this?
For both its approximately 6 ounces total I mix 90 mls of resin and 90mls of hardener to do both molds....
Hi can we get transparent look if we use alcohol ink ?
Yes inks will keep them translucent
@@RaesTurquoiseTurtle okay ❤️thank you for replying
How much resin and hardner proportions did you use for 2 lotus ?
It's about 180 mls total to do both molds
Cost 2 lotus

This one was all let's resin pastel collection alcohol inks I believe there's a link in the description.

Yes!
Why don't you recommend putting real tea light candles in them? Just curious
I dont trust resin around an open flame personally
