I had never thought of using my hot glue gun, without glue, as a sculpting tool. Nice tip! For these water effects I find the plasticy table cloths, manoeuvred make the cheapest and best results.
Hot glue, you could use a soldering iron that is used for burning wood pictures as it has different heads that can be used for adding details to the hot glue base before adding the liquid latex.
A real glacier look to these - lovely work Sheri! 💙 You can of course now make three moulds from these excellent finished resin pieces. I like them all btw, for different reasons! 🤗
Great video! I love that you are testing different techniques. They each had such a different look to them. Definitely a great way to create unique pieces. Thanks for the tutorial
Thanks so much for this video. Using liquid latex is a new tool for me. I want to try this but pouring the resin in thin layers, each layer being lighter than the previous one, in hopes of creating a look of depth. I do come up with some good ideas. They would be great ideas if they actually worked.
This is a great idea for ocean scene resin art. I've been learning how to do waves but it would be great to have the ripples on the blue area of the ocean
i really like these. All 3 are beautiful! Thank you for sharing you skills and techniques. One question - do you pour enough resin to make it smooth on top or are they still textured?
You can make liquid latex thinner with demineralized water. Very important that it’s demineralized. The water that is gathered in a clothes dryer is the cheapest way to get demineralized water.
That is really cool. I wonder if using silicone used in construction and for sealing leaks and stuff would work? Since, it is silicone, than you wouldn't need liquid latex.
Silicon has the problem of self levelling so you would end up with flat spots, liquid latex does not do that because it drys faster. It’s also why you do three coats each coat is brushed on in a different direction each time never in the same direction as it follows the same lines of the brush the third coat is where it smooths out more that the brush strokes no longer show.
Silicone caulk could possibly work great Might not come out crystal clear needing a top coat .. but I was thinking the same thing as @theresathomson787 My favorite is the hot glue great experiment.
The polymer clay seems more versatile. Like you wouldn't have to make all the ripples as big if you didn't want to. Do you think a thin layer of silicone would work as a barrier in place of the liquid latex?
I am definitely liking the hot glue coaster. You could use a soldering iron or a wood burning tool to help mold your lumps if glue. I think using the hot glue is definitely the cheapest way to go. About 10 years ago my friend and I got a huge box of glue sticks from Amazon. The more you buy the cheaper it is, and we will definitely be using it until the day we die. 😆 🤣 😂
I thought all three turned out very nicely! But I'd have to say the hot glue is my favorite. Thank you for posting this. 😊
It’s so nice to see another Aussie making it on TH-cam, hi from Outback Queensland 😹👍🏽👍🏽

genius! I have liquid latex, hot glue, and air dry clay... thank you for testing them out and saving us the time and expense!

I love the look of all 3 but the air dried clay is my favorite. I can't wait to try this technique. 😊

Great ideas. Thank you for sharing them. All 3 are great, but my favourite is the hot glue. Many thanks x
Those are beautiful! Very good instructions. I think my favorite is the polymer clay
They look beautiful, thanks for your video ❤
My pleasure 😊
I like them all but i think i like the hot glue.

Great tip
Awesome ideas, thank you for sharing different economic ideas.
I like the glue one. 🤠
These 3 are all great. What will they be used for? ❤❤
That look very cool! They looked super gross when the latex dried😂 but the final pieces worked really wel🎉
All came out amazing. Hot glue.
Great work, good to look at 3 alternatives. Thanks

Great information.
Clay is the best
Each technique might be good for a different application.
What kind of liquid latex do you use
Please share if you sand your resin and with what… dremil?
Can you use glue old Elmer's glue for making druzy quartz??
The polymer clay seems more versatile. Like you wouldn't have to make all the ripples as big if you didn't want to.

Silicone has the problem of self levelling which the latex does not do because it drys faster.
🎉Cool 😎 video

Hot glue is my favorite,.
How would this work with plasticine?
Wow!! Love it! I'm going to make the hot glue piece. ❤❤❤
