I have watched hours of videos for beginner resin artists, like me. Your video has been more helpful in 3 1/2 minutes than the hours of videos that I have watched for the last several days! 😊
You're welcome! No, they don't put this kind of info in anything, although it would be very helpful right from the start. This was a lot of trial and error. LOL. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi there I'm actually brand new to this. I happened to run across some of this stuff and thought it would be very interesting to try. Now I have some items and I searched so many videos to learn how get the right amount of resin with no help until I found your video. I just subscribed to your channel and I will be following tips from you. Thank you very much for making this video it makes it so much easier for beginners😊
Thank you so much for the sub and your kind words. Resin is fun to work with even though it's trying at times. For the most part, I jumped head first into it and just kind of figured it out along the way. If there's something you want to see done or a better understanding of please feel free to reach out. And, I'm always open to suggestions for new videos. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for sharing, that was how I was going to work it out. Im new to resin. Got some in the post today, excited to try it out. Hugs from Scotland in the UK xx
Hello! You're welcome! I jumped head first into resin a few years ago and haven't looked back. It's a lot of fun eventhough it can be temperamental at times. LOL! Thanks so much for watching!
Hi, just working out the ratio and your video has been a big help, when they say 'mixing ratio of 1:1 by weight and not volume' - is that the same as the 4oz in your video? - would you just weigh 4oz (2oz/2oz each) and mix and pour and that would fill the mold of that size.
Yep, you've got it. A ratio of 1:1 by weight or volume just means that the total number of ounces you need just divide that in half and that's out much you need of part A and B. Thanks so much for watching!
Yes, I do this for every mold I get. It makes it a lot easier to know how much resin without a lot of extra. I'm glad it helps. Thanks so much for watching!
Well... it kind of depends what you're using it for. UV resin is more expensive than regular resin. If you use UV resin in a mold it has to be a transparent mold so the light can penetrate through for the resin to cure. I usually only use my UV resin for quick top coats on small items like jewelry pieces, keychains, pens, etc.. Hope this helps? Thanks for watching!
I use a few different ones, it just depends on the kind of project I'm working on. I use the General Use Resin from The Epoxy Resin Store for a lot of my projects: freeforms, canvas, MDF, molds, etc. For deep pours, I use Liquid Diamonds from The Epoxy Resin Store. I also use their Tumbler Epoxy or the Glass Coat Epoxy from Mr. Nola's Glitter for my tumblers and vases. And to topcoat my coasters, I use KSResin. Thanks for watching!
@@emanvahid5536 Well, that would get very tricky without a scale. If you need 4oz and are using a 2:1 resin then I would just mix up 6oz and have some little molds ready for the leftover resin. Thanks for watching!
I'm not sure. Take your measuring cup fill it with water, then pour into your mold and see how much water is left in your measuring cup. Subtract how much is left to how much you had to start with and that will tell you how much you will need for your mold. Thanks for watching!
I can't tell you that because I don't know how deep your mold is. Measuring it out with water like I show in the tutorial will help you determine how much resin you will need. You also want to make sure your mold is completely dry after that because resin and water do not mix, they do not play nice together. Thanks for watching!
Water is the closest consistency to resin that won't damage your molds. Eventhough they might have a little different densities the volume is the same. An ounce is an ounce. I use this method for every new mold I get and have never had a problem. Thanks so much for watching!
I have a couple of those three drawer plastic storage things from Walmart. I put a wood shelf in each drawer covered in contact paper. And, I store my molds upside down. I can try and do a quick video if that will help?
I wouldn't be able to give you an answer because I don't know how thick your mold is. But, if you use a measuring cup and fill your mold with water that will tell you how much resin you'll need. Just make sure your mold is completely dry from water before using resin because water and resin do not play nice together. Thanks for watching!
How much hardener you use is based on how much resin you use and what the ratio is for the particular resin/epoxy you're using. For example, if you're using a 1:1 ratio resin, which is usally your art resins, then that means that you will mix equal parts of resin (part A) and hardener (part B). If you are using a 2:1 ratio resin, which is usally your casting resins, then you will mix two parts resin (part A) to one part hardener (part B). So, that would be like 2 ounces of resin to 1 ounce of hardener. This is very basic information because there are so many different brands of resin/epoxy out there with different ratios on how to mix. And, some resins it really matters if you mix by volume or by weight. Whichever resin/epoxy you use should have all the mixing information in the instructions and if it doesn't then I would reach out to the manufacturer, so they can tell you the right way to use their product. I hope this helped and wasn't too confusing... let me know if you have any other questions.
@@queenhaniofficial I'm not really understanding... Are you wanting to pour the mold in layers or are you talking about a flood coat on top? To pour in layers, just subtract the amount you pour for each layer from the total. For a flood coat on top, you will probably only need about 20ml. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for a common sense way to figure out the amount of resin to use ❤❤❤❤
You're welcome! Thanks so much for watching!!

Awe, thank you! I'm so glad that it was helpful. Thanks so much for watching!
Right….she saved me so much time and confusion.
So simple, yet perfect!!!
Yes, this was a game changer. Lol. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank You for sharing love this now I won’t be wasting a lot of resin🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you! You're welcome!! And thanks so much for watching!
Thank you so much. The “beginner” kit felt that detail wasn’t necessary 😂 thanks a ton!
You're welcome! No, they don't put this kind of info in anything, although it would be very helpful right from the start. This was a lot of trial and error. LOL. Thanks so much for watching!
thats a better idea! i saw a vid in which 'rice' was used to estimate the measure! 😆
Hmmm.... That's different. Glad this was helpful and thanks so much for watching!
This is what I do however I write it right on the mold. Id never be clipboard organized lol
That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of that. Lol. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I'm a newbie to resin art and was wondering this.
You're welcome. Thanks so much for watching!
Great idea, those molds are so cute 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you! I'll have a couple of videos next week using this mold. Thanks so much for watching!
@@JSCreationsArtSanity can't wait 😍😍😍😍😍
Yes, if you wipe it out you can scratch it easily. Best to let it air dry 💙
Yes, it is. But, it's so hard to wait some times. Lol! I really do need to have more patience!! 😆
@@JSCreationsArtSanity I can relate 100% same here🤣🤣🤣😅😅💟💟
how about pat dry and a not so hot hair dryer??? if you're in a hurry to use it?
@@lindao7887 if you want to, that could work. Just be careful because the molds scratch easy
Awesome! The best video! Tfs!

With the mold in the video because its 4oz is it 2 oz resin and 2 oz hardener? Xx
That's correct ONLY if you're using a 1:1 ratio resin. Thanks for watching!
@@JSCreationsArtSanityyeah but what if we are using 2:1 ratio, then how do we divide 4oz resin? Please help I am stuck
@@emanvahid5536 Well, that would get very tricky without a scale. If you need 4oz and are using a 2:1 resin then I would just mix up 6oz and have some little molds ready for the leftover resin. Thanks for watching!
@@JSCreationsArtSanity with 6oz with 2:1 it would be 4oz resin and 2oz hardener right?
Wouldn’t it be much easier if we measure in grams rather in oz?
@@emanvahid5536 Yes, that's right. Lol, I measure either in oz or ml, just depending how big of a project I doing.
hi, may i know what is the size of the mold in the video in cm? ?x?
It's about 12.7 cm. Thanks for watching!
How much gram of resin is required for 8 inch and 50 mm depth heart mould
I'm not sure. Take your measuring cup fill it with water, then pour into your mold and see how much water is left in your measuring cup. Subtract how much is left to how much you had to start with and that will tell you how much you will need for your mold. Thanks for watching!
what is the size is the most used for coasters ty
Most coasters are between 4 - 5 inches in diameter and 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick. Thanks so much for watching!
If you want 66g of water to silicone mold then you need 66g of total resin?
Yes, that's right. Thanks for watching!
How much resin needed for 6 inch mould
I can't tell you that because I don't know how deep your mold is. Measuring it out with water like I show in the tutorial will help you determine how much resin you will need. You also want to make sure your mold is completely dry after that because resin and water do not mix, they do not play nice together. Thanks for watching!
Ok thankyou
@@famifathima2275 You're welcome!
Isn't resin thicker than water?
So volume of resin needed would be less???
Water is the closest consistency to resin that won't damage your molds. Eventhough they might have a little different densities the volume is the same. An ounce is an ounce. I use this method for every new mold I get and have never had a problem. Thanks so much for watching!
Water and resin have different density so as well as different volume… it is not an exact method of calculating resin.. but still good to go
How to find out diameter of coaster
Just measure across your coaster in the middle. Thanks for watching!
How do you store your molds
I have a couple of those three drawer plastic storage things from Walmart. I put a wood shelf in each drawer covered in contact paper. And, I store my molds upside down. I can try and do a quick video if that will help?
