Disclaimer.....
I am fully aware of the risks of working with resin products and aim to give you great tutorials in a safe way. I film in a very ventilated area and keep risks to myself low. I would always recommend you to wear full PPE based on the data sheets for the chemicals you are using 😊😊😊.
Stay safe whilst creating beautiful art 🙏
I have some sphere molds that r in 2 pieces. I think they're from let's resin. I'd say they would work better for this lol. Still not bad. I made a 3d rose out of acrylic (like for nails) and put inside 1 of my spheres. It looks ok. The rose itself looks good in the 1 half but when I put the other side on and filled it up totally changed it
Those would be perfect for this as a seam around the sides wouldn't matter 😊
@@daniel..cooper I sent you a couple pics on messenger I think. But I thinks it's ur business page
Tried and failed with the 2 piece molds. I am on disability so won't waste more resin with sphere.
Oh man, I need the Director's Cut of this tutorial, complete with the wrestling of the cone into that itty bitty mold SO BADLY 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
“You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop-The Twilight Zone” 🎶Do do do do.. do do do do🎵😂 Great experiment Daniel! That’s got the makings of a very cool vortex sphere.❤
Lol Thank you 😊
Watching you take the mold off gave me a huge knowing belly laugh!
Thanks Daniel.
Hugs from 🇨🇦
That is soo awesome! Very beautiful!! I want to be you when I grow up 😊 ( I'm 63 yrs old) ❤️☺️🫂💯❤️💕
Thanks Diane 😊 That made me chuckle 😃 😂
I catch myself turning my tablet to assist you lol
Oh to demold those one piece spheres… just a drop of dish soap (washing up liquid) works like a charm! But be careful, I had one shoot out like I had fired it from a small sling shot lol….
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I was at the edge of my seat while you were de moulding the sphere!😮 I admire the project’s you come up with and love how you persevere and how you don’t give up.This is beyond resin pouring it’s Amazing!
Thank you so much!
You'll master it Dan. It's a great idea and even though that one worked against you and drove you potty, you could still see the magnification of that spiral.
Your videos are always informative and fun. I have learned so much and just keep watching them over and over to get the technique right.
Thank you.
I’m definitely interested in seeing you make this into wearable jewelry. Fabulous! Great video!
I love how brave you are trying new ideas. Thank you. I may show my resin work on here at some point. You are very inspiring and clear what you say. 🎉
The end result may not have been perfect, but it was indeed resembling a vortex, Daniel. The concept is fascinating, and I hope to see more videos like this from you. Thank you for this one.
Yes do the scale down for jewelry!!
Ii will definitely try 😀😀
Awesome! I can definitely see the vortex. I am looking forward to your persistence in getting this technique perfected.
epic attempt, salute you , your patience is a virtue , amazing work , i’d never attempt this , but i’m in awe of your work xx
I really love the word "fiddly" now. That's sure to come in handy,
SOON
This certainly was entertaining! I was squirming in my seat watching you unmold. Lol
Next step, make a mold of that cone shaped pieces to cut down time. You could even put groves in it for the color. Neat!
Was a good video watching you work things out if something goes wrong you fix it. That way we have something to work off of. You're the best❤
I think that was kind of cool! The cone just by itself was pretty cool looking too.
Thanks Lisa 😊
So cute! But yes very fiddly. I'm like you as well, don't like to wait.
An idea for the cone shape is the silicone resin casting molds meant for ring display. I saw some for sale on Amazon. I'm not sure they are exactly the right size, but it would be worth a try. Love this idea. I will have to try it. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, I really wish I had one at the time, I will for the next attempt 😊😊
Beautiful! Thank you
Please do more of this!
I definitely will😀
This is very impressive!
Thanks Michele 😊
Oh wow, now I need to get sphere mold. I need to try this for myself. Boy the unmolding was a job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Bob 😊
😍😍 It may be exactly what you were going for, but it sure was fun. Lol As always another great learning experience. XO😍😍
Nice tutorial, you’ll get it. I used watch resin Ace. He disappeared about 2yrs ago on his YT channel. Thanks Daniel ❤
Thanks Maddie, oh, I didn't realise he stopped.
@@daniel..cooper I just went over to his channel and he posted a video one month ago, first in two years. I guess he’s been over on IG. I don’t frequent IG, FB.
This is so amazing, I can't believe how it turned out. Well done, Dan!
This is something I would definitely love to have, that's for sure, so if you're giving it away or selling it, I would definitely want it or one like it! 😍
Thanks 😊 I may do another giveaway once I master it a bit better 😊
Hello Daniel I bought a 40 watt UV neon lamp for my UV resin works it is super I just had to build a box in which she attached just great👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I had horrible problems with sphere molds of both kinds. I used warm running soapy water to release. I got tired of the mold after and just cut it a bigger opening for the second attempt. It helped make me decide I am done wasting my time.
Honestly, I do not see a down side to experimentation when shared with inquiring minds. We all want to know. Now, we know. It's all good.
Haha the struggle is real Dan! 😃😃
I would totally wear jewelry or it would be a cute keychain or something too!
I think two-part might be the way to go once its in the sphere. 😆😆
Thanks Dawn, yep, I will make this work and be more patient next time 😂
I have a glass votrex, trying to get it with resin for a year now. you have done better than me!
Awesome! Made me want to give it a go. I used just the tip of a pyramid mould and the corner of a food bag, then used UV nail polish for the colour, half way through at the moment but the nail polish seems to work really well. Thank you 😊
I was going to suggest using a half sphere mold, then read the comments and saw that everyone else had already done so! So long as you are having fun experimenting, keep going for it. I hope you get one you love soon!
Also- I get cheap nail cutters and use them to trim off the bad edges. Much safer than that cuticle cutter!
Thanks JoAnn 😊 Yes, definitely trying the 2 piece molds next time 😊😊
Good try! If you ever decide you want to black coat the back of a piece, use car spray paint, gently and from a distance. two or three thin coats is better than one big blast. You won't need to seal it, but you can if you like with a thin coat of resin, an OO paintbrush is good for that, easily cleaned with isopropyl alcohol, ready for use again. I have those exact sphere moulds, I hate them, I now go for the half spheres and resin them together, you get a seam, but that's easily sanded off, a bit more work, but worth it xx
Brilliant Daniel! Off to try it now
Thanks Angela 😊 Have fun 😊
Maybe use a half and half spear mold. Do love this- use the 2 part resin but a bigger spear maybe.
I think this was an awesome experiment. I think if the cone was squattier it would probably work better. Kind of like a gemstone? Also, putting a mirror under your pieces while you're trying to cure works wonders. I use a small mirror meant for candles. I know you'll get it! Love your work. I'm trying out some alcohol ink pendants right now after watching your videos. Thank you so much for your hard work!😊
Wrapping a square of cardboard in aluminum foil - shiny side up, is also an easy way to get light bouncing back. It’s prob not as potent as mirror but it’s disposable & easy to maneuver around. Thanks for sharing 🌹
@debrajo l most definitely! I have a box that I turned into a UV light box by doing that when I was in a bind and it worked well, but not as potent as a mirror.
I like the effect you were getting. It seems like it might be a bit too difficult for me yet. I am trying to get the effects that you have shown on some of your other videos. These new sinker whites that I got off of your Amazon storefront will make it easier I think. I do have to tell you though that I was really looking forward to seeing the struggle getting that cone shape into that sphere. (Kidding. Sort of)
😂😂😂
Maybe a half sphere mold with a matching cone shape? Do it in pieces? Just a thought.
Yes, that would be so much easier, I must order some! 😊😊😊😊
Try a cake-turn table for easier turning.
Think I will give this one miss lol you do make me laugh xx
Lol, I will simplify this technique, may take me a while 😂
Lol, I will simplify this technique, may take me a while 😂
Wire wrapping would look cool
I'd probably use a two part spherical ice mold, and one of the gem molds to make the cone..
I can see making the center illusion out of the uv resin but I would pour the rest out of 2 part resin, and be sure that the center does not distort the sphere.
That looked like quite the struggle.
It definitely was 😂🤣
Looks good, I have those molds and I use soapy water 😊
Hi Daniel great experiment, have you tried it with another half sphere instead of the cone? Thanks for sharing ❤️ xx
Thanks, I have, the illusion isn't anywhere near as good 😔
Can you use nail gel supplies possibly to paint on resin? I think that would be a whole lot easier and more detailed if you can put that on there?
That should work 😊😊
This is cool… I wonder if you filled half the sphere first with the uv resin and then Put the cone in… I agree with the poster in the penned comment the half spheres would be better for this… to eliminate the seam, you just sand it off & give it a fine coating of uv resin or you can use the sand and polish method. Overall, this was a cool experiment!!!! :)
Thanks as always 😊😊😊. I will perfect it hopefully 😊
Great Idea, Fantastic Effect but as you say needs refining..
Thanks Ian 💯% Can't wait to get it spot on 😊😊
@@daniel..cooper Can’t wait to see it.. I’m sure it will look amazing with the spiral 🌀 effect.. 😄
There are some Japanese resin artists who do galaxy marbles. I can't write out the channel names, but maybe if you search for galaxy resin art or something similar, you might find them. I saw one use a tool to make the spirals (like a dremel).
Oooh, I will have a search, thank you 😊
Daniel - i'm a new viewer and a new "resiner" i love the products you're using and did not realize that you had a promo code on amazon...however, it doesnt seem to work. can you provide any guidance on this? thank you for all you do and i love the channel. Angela
Oh no, I will ask when I speak to the company next.
A two piece spere mold and a conical mold (if they make them) with the diameters matching would make that easier for you. I think, but what the hell do I know I'm a newbie. LOL
Wouldn’t it be easier to use a two piece sphere mold? Maybe not, as I’ve not attempted this.
Yes, a couple of viewers have suggested this so will be trying it soon 😊😊
The idea is sound but it needs finagling to get it small enough for jewellery me thinks. If anyone can’t do it though it will be you ❤
Couldn't you use a corner of one of your piping bags to form the cone
You can’t pour UV resin super thick all at once. It will get too hot (it can heat spike in general) and make bubbles. Just like if you pour two part too thick.
A way to potentially remedy this instead of sticking it directly in the lamp, turn the lamp on and sit in just outside the lamp for a few minutes. Then put all the way in. You can do the same thing by holding the lamp up high and slowly inching it closer to avoid the heat spikes.
Why not use one of the split molds?
Does their resin get tacky?? I’m having a terrible time with that issue with the brand I got. Big bottle too 😢
Hi Tammy, since Let's Resin changed their formula, I'm not having any issues, I rarely had problems before but this one is awesome 😊
@@daniel..cooper Thank you so much!!! Especially for answering. I've asked the same question to others and no one replied. I'm going to get the kit and give it a whirl again. 🤞 so HAPPY I found you on TH-cam.
I also use let's resin brand and I find it to be quite amazing
I never had a good feeling with uv resin…. It stays ‘’tacky’’… i rather use other resin…😊
Hi Kathy, since let's resin improved their formula, I have never had that stickiness 😊.
@@daniel..cooper i live in Belgium and not every brand is available here…. (Or toooooo expensive to order) so the ones i have used…. I was not happy about…
I found that JDiction UV resin works the best for me.
@@Ali-H3444 thanks Ali 😊 Is JDiction available to Europe? I must try it if so to help others 😊
@Daniel Cooper I'm in the states Daniel, but I'll try to find out for you.
