When I use food coloring in the Resin Create i add the food coloring to the water weight then add it to the powder it keeps the coloring from raising to the top.
Steve, just a tip... if you decide to seal the resincrete with uv resin after it is completely dry, it darkens up even more .❤❤
You should test the new “Purely Pigments” line from Colour Arte. I’ve been using them and they are amazing. You can use them in resincrete, Jesmonite, resin, acrylic pours, etc.
Where do you buy them from please
Thanks Steve, got my first bag of resincrete for Christmas. So I appreciate your tutorial 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love your channel. This is a bit um out there, but I keep pet rats and made a coaster from their poops in epoxy. Turned out great! I had a broken zipper on my boot so I resined a new one to the broken part in uv. Take me nowhere!
Just be careful they don't chew on it. It's toxic to them
Thanks Steve. I use Resincrete a lot so I really appreciate it.
If I'm not making messes, I'm not crafting. It's just part of my artistic expression 😂
I don’t often subscribe to channels but this was so useful and concise.
Thank you for not taking 30 minutes to say what could be said in 10!😂
The cardboard helps with a ‘wobbly bobberly’. Another great video Steve 🥰
Wow! This was so helpful! I recently closed down my handmade resin shop due to the resin wreaking havoc on my health (we were pouring 5+ gallons of resin a week to keep up with demand). But it was a big part of my income, so I've been looking for a substitute and started using resin crete but could not for the life of me get it colored the way I wanted! Those food colors are perfect! I do notice some of the pigments darken as the cure out of the mold, which is exactly what I wanted. Thanks again!!
I absolutely love the way the food coloring worked! The colors seemed much more vivid. And food coloring is definitely much cheaper when your on a tight budget 😅
A potential issue is that most food coloring is highly fugitive; meaning that it will fade rather quickly. Some food coloring may be somewhat permanent, depending upon what it’s made from. I know that onion skins and birch bark yield good colors. The stuff you get from the grocery store tends to not work well at all. I used some a few years ago as an experiment to do a painting. After 2 months it had faded 30% and after a couple of years, you could barely see it at all.
Oooh, that pen ink is GORGEOUS! Ooh, the food coloring is brilliant! Who'da thunk! Thanks, Steve! 💕😊
If you pour the two or three colours into one pot like you did there is more chance they will look opaque. So pore a little from one pot into your mould then a little frome each pot into the same mould. It will give you a better marble effect.
Oh those last ones with the food colouring came out so pretty! Nice one Steve! God bless you and your family. Have a great week!
Fab just bought some exciting times x
You have made me want to give resincrete a go. Thank you for sharing your tips.
The food coloured ones look good enough to eat 😊
Very useful info, Thank you.
These hearts look almost candy like and edible 🥰🥰🥰
who would of thought food coloring would made such beautiful colors! thanks for sharing.
This is amazing and I just love your channel. Now here is a question I didn’t see asked. When I do a project with half resin Crete and resin how can I seal it both? Or do I not have to?
The food colouring ones are my favourite ❤❤❤
I've known about the cardboard (or paper) underneath, but I never remember to have it there, until I'm supposed to tap the mold, and I can't lift it anymore 😂. I like the pastel-y colours of these.
I definitely love the results from the food coloring. ❤
As usual Steve. Wonderful!❤
Thank you for this video. Tried ResinCrete once and it didn’t work well. Now I know what I did wrong. 😊❤
They all look really great! I love how smooth resin Crete turns out. Thanks for the tip about the curing machine!
Thanks for the tips. I have so many food colors to try, now. 😍
I’ve been experimenting too. Overall it’s a toss up between acrylic ink and acrylic paint. Thanks for your tests.
Great tip on using food coloring!
I’ve recently discovered your channel and I’ve been watching ever since. Thank you for all your wonderful information and great personality.
Thank you Steve. I've just started using resincrete but I'm finding it really brittle. I'm doing 100-30 any ideas please?
Have you done a mica power video with the resincrete ? i love your work you have taught me so much!! I recommend you to everybody i can!! From West coast of Canada here! Hello!
I have been thinking of using resincrete as apposed to normal resin as we have a little kitty cat that likes to “help” me in my craft room and I don’t want to make her sick from the resin fumes
Does the food coloring come off on your hands after curing? Thank you again for your content it’s amazing
Love the experiments, maybe a colouring paste rather than the liquid. They are very pigmented.
Awesome experiment this technique could have many uses in embellishing fluid art
Love your videos....I'm learning so much.I have just ordered some resincrete.Thanks Steve.
I have a gorgeous dark purple ink...i bet it will look great in this
Woohoo I've just joined your members ❤ looking forward to extra tips! I need em 😁
Thank you Steve.
Acrylic inks work so well in water bated casting powders don't they. Nice one Steve. If you want vivid colours, Have you tried the Create & Bloom colours? I've got bright red, jet black... and also pastels. Really cool and they do work in ResinCrete as well as Eco Pour :) Shame you can't use a powered mixer with ResinCrete, I know some people like those though I'm with you on not liking them so much. Good to see you had similar finding to me last year about colouring these casting powders. Update - food colouring does seem colourfast - me,bers messaged to ask me if it faded - a year on still not faded so that's good info you gave here too
Hi Steve great video just got the food colours can I use food colouring in resin ? 😊
I wonder how long the colour lasts. Does it fade with time and is there a difference in fading depending on what you use.
I’ve not tried Resincrete yet, but you’ve piqued my interest ❤
I just got to thinking. What about pouring a very little color, then change color pour a different color over it etc. I think I’m going to try that just for fun. I was thinking a 3d effect as end result.
Thank you! Great ideas!
😮 I am new tipuddip
Have you ever used scrapbook paper or such with resincrete?
Again great video and tips
I wonder about ysing easter egg dyes
I got this mix to make candle molds do u think it's good for that. Please answer lol
Once are they is this stuff waterproof when set?
Steve, If I use resinCrete to make a coster and paint something on it. Can you use resin or UV Resin to protect the painting?
Does resincrete dry hard like normal resin.
Have you tried their valentine kit yet
You can use acrylic paint to colour it also
@@michaelpearson1272 can you squeeze the paint directly to the white mixture
Yes and use a cocktail stick to swirl it around
Can you use food coloring in regular resin
That wouldn't work, unfortunately 😕. Food coloring is water-based, and water and resin do not work together.
👍🏻😃
This looks a lot like plaster of Paris.
I've wondered if you could add charcoal powder to color this stuff if you wanted it dark.
😊
How about face mask?
