Who is being mean to this man? He's one of the most charming and generous persons on RUclips. What's wrong with you!?
That was my first thought, Steve is so personable and sweet, also has a wealth of knowledge in resin crafting. People being mean/ rude over resin techniques/advice/opinions is so petty and stupid, smh...
Right? He's like a bundle of...like droll warmth dusted with adorable, kinda dad-style goofiness & ofc- most important of all for *this* channel anyway- easy-to-follow helpfulness!
I am going to become a wolf & inhale anyone who harms him.
Kin oath
He is amazing. Ignore that ass
Some people just can’t help themselves- making others miserable gives them happy! So, a message to them-be nice, you’ll be amazed how good it feels!
THIS is what we need to see! THIS is one of many reasons I stay subbed to your channel! You're keeping it real, and that's sorely needed on RUclips! Thank you, Steve!
I’ve been mixing 99% alcohol with resin dyes. Fabulous results with long lasting colors 🙌 Started with an alumilite dye set and went on from there. Happy Arting everyone 🌹
I wondered if that would work! Thanks!
What a brilliant idea, @debrajo! 😄
Getting nasty over dyes, Realy! Get a life at least you tell the truth Steve, thanks for that
thx for that tip!! brilliant
debrajo!! Would you mind telling us the proportions you use? This is a great idea!
If this video don't shut the haters up nothing will, their loss not yours! I love 💕 your instructions and appreciate the time you invest to teach us, right it wrong, you share your experiences. 💗 Thank you Steve?!
Good information I must check some pendants in my showcase at the shop . I used ink in those thanks Steve it’s worth knowing . Great video
Thank you Steve for preventing me from wasting my money! I'm new to resin and was looking into using alcohol inks. The resin goddess must have led me to your video, which was the only one to mention this downside. I'm making things for my granddaughter to sell on her esoteric stall and online. You've not only taught me an important lesson, more importantly you stopped me from providing my granddaughter with substandard merchandise. I'm off to buy you a well deserved coffee.
🔥WARNING🔥: Pop bubbles BEFORE adding ALCOHOL inks. 👨🏭 Thanks to Steve for teaching me (us) this in a previous safety vid x 🍻
Ya...it catches on fire.
I will never understand why there'd be nasty comments. you're really offended because he doesn't care for alcohol inks in his resin? holy damn people just have nothing better to do in their lives I guess
Merci. J'allais dire exactement la même chose. Si les gens ne sont pas contents, qu'ils aillent ailleurs.
Super job Steve 👍😀👍
Some people enjoy putting others down and they are anonymous behind their keyboards. #FranchiseKicks has said (paraphrasing) that even if they are complaining it adds to the stats and that includes their dislikes. Keep doing what you're doing because nearly everybody is here because they are learning new skills or enjoy watching what you're making.
It's apparently just the Pinata brand. Toonpish Crafts does an extensive test with 9 different brands of alcohol ink and only the Pinata faded in the sunlight in her experiment...that's great news for me as I've never heard of that brand and have had zero issue with fading with the resin alcohol inks I got from Amazon. So for those that are swearing off alcohol ink, you might be missing a wonderful opportunity for creating projects you simply can't do with paint in resin.
Thank you for telling us this Steve. Wow. I didn't know this. When I heard alcohol ink would fade over time I was thinking years not weeks. I'm so glad I haven't used any alcohol to color my resin. I definitely won't now.
The back of the one that was exposed to sunlight looks like a Petrie dish. Very informative video! Thank you!
Didn’t know this.
Have not seen any negative comments here.
Steve you give us information we need in order to keep from making mistakes
Much appreciated
Wow! I saw how faded the one was even before you took the other one out.
So sad that such beauty would fade so quickly because the effects are so stunning.
I have decorated many aluminum tumblers with resin and alcohol inks and have never had this problem. One rainbow one has been sitting out on my kitchen counter about 3 feet from some south facing windows all year. Do you know why they didn’t fade?
I have similar experiences as you with my pieces made of alcohol inks. No noticeable fading in some months. May I ask what inks you use (manufacturer).
It may be the manufacturers mix. I can imagine that the alcohol ink companies are constantly looking for ways to prevent this from happening. If their product is not working, then their sales will drop.
I've been reading through the comments and noticed that many said they don't have this problem. I wonder if it could be because he didn't add a top coat over the colors to seal and protect them.
I invested in a bunch of different inks including Brea Reese, Tim Holtz, & Pinata. I wonder since the tumblers are solid as opposed to translucent like the coasters maybe that makes a difference. Also, I sometimes use the pinata white to aid in color mixing
Thanks so much for this. I have heard that they fade, but had no idea how much! OMG!! I will not be selling anything like this unless a customer requests it and will sign a waiver. (Not kidding.) Wowzers. Thanks again!! Happy Crafting!!!!
I've heard that happens with alcohol ink but have never seen the results. Thank you for sharing this information with us. You do a great service with your experiments and I also LOVE your other channel ❤️.
Where I live state side, Florida, it's almost ALWAYS hot n 🌞 sunny. It happens so much faster here, like in 2 weeks, colors completely decrepit 🤬 faded n gone likes its made 10 years ago. I use a bit of pigment powder and a tiny bits of alcohol ink, just to get it to feather. The ink fades, but the pigment stays😃 thanks for sharing 😊
Great demo Steve. I also did a test on a coaster that I made with alcohol inks, in beachy colours. It’s been sitting on a windowsill for 6 months now and is almost colourless! There is a dense tree outside the window, so it gets no direct sun, just daylight.
No one should be criticizing anyone when it comes to items made by hand. No it isn't perfect because humans aren't perfect, but those imperfections is what makes your handcrafted items perfect for others. Steve you keep on keeping on and you do you. ❤this channel.
My husband and I came across this first hand when we were new to resin. We were trying out alcohol ink in UV resin - we knew it wasn't recommended, but mostly people said it was because the resin wouldn't cure as well, but we decided to try anyway. Ultimately the resin cured fine - but the beautiful teal green ink turned nearly pitch black. We realised it was the UV, and we haven't really used the inks much since... and thankfully we'd only bought two to try!
Great video as always! I also still see people using real flowers and leaves on social media. Trust me, they will rot! Candy seems to hold up well though 🤣. Thanks Steve 💞
Thanks for that information I've always wanted to try that. Maybe you can start a channel to share your experiences 😉
That’s insane how similar they ended up! Usually you never know even if you’re using the same colors. I love your channel Steve. You have such a wonderful personality and are so inspiring. I live in the USA and I’m just across the pond on the east coast.
Yep I agree. I made a split tumbler for my brother used alcohol inks on one side thinking it was just so awesome then “hand painted” the other side which came out perfectly and trust (I am not a painter) it was a few months before I saw him and it was just on a shelf in my office an it faded so badly on alcohol side 😩 I was so sad cuz I don’t think I could paint it again sad people don’t warn you! Thanks for being honest!😉
Do you guys have UV resistent resin? Here in Brazil is something really common and I think would avoid this problem. But I havent tested yet
Thank you for putting this out there. I’ve been trying to tell people this for years and get a lot of grumpy push back. Keep up the good work!
Wow. What a difference. But frankly, if I saw both of these at a fair, I would only buy the faded one. To me, that one is stunning! You mentioned the feathering in the first but I see it just fine in the second. I will do this now, with these colors in particular, just for the faded effect! I am a rank beginner so this demo was most appreciated. 👍
Thank you so much for showing us. I will never use them in resin again. I can't tell you how much your honesty is appreciated.
wow!!! i never would have thought that would happen. thank you for showing this to us!
I had no idea this would happen! Wow, very informative, thank you Steve!
Thank you so much Steve for always being so honest and showing the true effects of your work. I truly love your channels and how honest you are. I have learned a lot from you and showing the test even if they have gone wrong. I appreciate that you showed this test on alcohol inks. I would hate to sale any item to someone and it fade or loose the colors. That just makes bad business for anyone. You are a blessing to me with all that you show on your page. Please don’t change how you are or listen to people who are negative nellies.
Those look like vastly different coasters!!!
The one in the light still looks good as well with the design though, but thank you for showing what happens when you use alcohol inks.
Thank you! Im very new to resin, and I had no idea there was even an issue with lightfastness of alcohol ink in epoxy. I don't think I've ever seen a better example of why lightfastness is important in relation to what we are creating. Surely there are times when the lightfastness will not matter as it will not be exposed to light for long periods of time. Coasters? Pretty as they were, they seem just as quick to fade and seem almost "rotten" like actual flowers. If that's what you want, cool... but if not... well. Lol.
Thank you for this, you likely saved me many many heartbreaks in future projects.
I love your instructional and educational videos Steve, I don’t think I could have carried on with my resin art if I hadn’t found you on you tube. Ignore the hateful comments and keep up the brilliant work you do helping others to achieve. Thank you Steve.
Always helpful Steve ❤❤😁 Love the Colors Beautiful! Actually I love both one for Fall the washed out one lol!
very helpful my first experiments were a disaster but I just used them in the garden
WOW that’s a game changer for sure. Thank you Steve ❤️
I am so glad to learn this. Thank you Steve.
Could you spray the coaster with uv- resistant clear acrylic coating from krylon after it cures both sides. We use on painting
Honestly, I like the faded one.
Wow, what a huge difference. Thank you for this amazing demo!!!
Thank you Steve, this is very important and useful information. I'm so glad you do these videos. ❤️
Mind-blowing, thanks so much for showing us this and investing the time. Much appreciated!
Thanks for showing this, very helpful.
Thank you so much for making this video, it was a total eye opener. I couldn’t believe the difference in the coaster that was left out in sunlight. I totally agree with you when you say you can’t use alcohol inks when you are planning on making items for sale. I’m jut starting out with resin work, and I find your channel so informative and usual. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into producing your videos. 😊
Don’t let yourself be upset about negative ninnies. Awesome tutorial, which also proves your point. As always love and learn from your videos
Dang! I never would have known this! Thanks.
Thank you for sharing. I've been trying to make resin bowls (love your videos on these, by the way, especially the one with the flower. I made one using this technique and the colors came out beautiful - unfortunately the bowl itself had some problems). I've used alcohol ink in some bowls but in very small amounts as I wanted them to be more transparent and so far I haven't had any problems with fading (problems with everything else, but so far no fading and one is about a year old), maybe because I've just used the ink as a tint more than a color and didn't do any mixing. When I started this I didn't have any mica powder but now have some and am using it in my jewelry making (thank you again for videos on that). When I have time, I'm going to try another bowl, but won't be using the alcohol ink and thankfully haven't used it in any of my jewelry. Thank you again for showing us all how NOT to do things. It is as important as knowing how TO do something.
Very informative. Thank you for showing.
What a dramatic illustration! Thanks for sharing these results. I wonder whether this is just a thing that happens in resin, or is this a thing that happens to any alcohol ink used in any art piece (painting, polymer clay, etc). Rather disappointing, isn't it...
Thanks so much for your investigation !!!
Already in very early videos you spoke about alcohol-inks fading, and I was somehow unhappy.
But watching the comparison is quite disillusioning...
...and it's really thoughtful to mention, that jewellery for sale should not be made this way. 🙂
Thanks Steve!!❤️
What a great comparison video!
Thank you!
Thank you for putting this out there!
Great, thanks for doing the tests for us, so we don't end up with mishaps!
Thank you Steve. I had no idea that could happen.
Thank you Steve, I've used alcohol inks in items, I did notice some pretty pyramids I made, thankfully just for me, had faded. So glad I used mica for my window pieces.
I LOVE your videos! I watch for the resin ones as I am a beginner. I could also watch alcohol inks and just resin pours in general all day long. It’s so satisfying!
Would it make a difference what kind of resin you use? To be honest, I often use alcohol inks in my resin projects and I have coasters, tealight holders, key chains, picture frames and more. Some are in full sunlight, others in more darker spots of my house but even after years I've seen no fading of colors.
Same here. Wondering what the difference is?
myself i am wondering if there is such a difference from uv resin and epoxy ( wait for cure), since the "reg" epoxy can have uv resistance added to it to protect it, that it might be protecting the ink as well. with tumblers I haven't seen this fading thing happen
I have just become interested in pouring resin. Trying to do all the research as possible before I get started to eliminate the mistakes before I make them. Thank you so much for your honest reviews and teachings. I will be glued to everyone of them!
Great comparison. Thank you so much for the demonstration. I had not seen anyone actually do this before. Very good to know. Funny part is that I really liked the faded one. It kinda looked like dried flowers.. haha. Again, thanks for the info.
Wow! So good to know! Thanks.
Wow I would have never guessed this would have occurred, thank you for sharing!!! ❤️
I was actually quite sad to hear that the pieces will fade with alcohol inks. Thankfully it wasn't too far into my learning curve that I found that out and I haven't sold very many pieces that have the inks in them. Do you know if you can do the same thing with a little bit of paint in the resin instead of the alcohol ink?
I just recently started watching your channel. Thank you for the video!! I really needed this information. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you so much for this info! I have been researching resin work for a while now before I buy anything and watching your channel has helped me eliminate a lot of useless items! You rock! ❤
This is why I follow craft channels such as yours. I make a few pieces based on RUclips inspiration. I don’t have the time or resources to experiment like this, so it’s incredibly useful to see this kind of video. Many thanks!
Wow. WOW! I had no idea 🤯
Wow! I had no idea. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
So glad to know this before I bothered to buy some ! Thanks Steve, love your videos !
WOW 😳 I’d be mad after a couple of weeks ! Thank you ☺️
Wow! Thanks so much for this video. I never knew this would happen. If I was a customer I would truly be disappointed too. Thanks for taking the time to show us the results of what time and light does to alcohol ink.
Thank you Steve!
Thank you to show the difference! That the blue pigments completely fades away is hard
Omg that's marvelous, I had no idea thank u, I wish I knew this ages ago. Thankfully I wasn't a huge fan of alcohol inks because I didn't like how the white looked, but now knowing the color washes out so easy is super important information.
That's amazing Steve. Thank you
Very interesting Steve, thank you for your concern for people using the inks.
HI Steve, My goodness what a difference in the 2 coasters Thank You So Much for taking the time to share your Knowledge & Information on u tube I really did appreciate it 👍 all the best Lin 🦋
Wow, that color fade was pretty harsh. I am in Florida, and the sun is pretty harsh. Anything anywhere near natural light will fade. So far, I've only been using mica powder, so, I'm hoping for the best.
Thank you for showing us this.
Holy cow, Steve!
You sure showed the naysayers!
Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been playing with the alcohol inks for a few months and really like how the colours react and you can swirl the colours around for different effects and it gives you both sides you can choose to display but do be careful using any flame to pop the bubbles.🤔😉
You can also put the inks in first and then pour the resin for even more different effects. When I put the inks in first, I use a solid colour resin and it doesn’t seem to fade the colours but I’m glad I saw this video. Good to have this problem pointed out.
Interesting information. I’ll try this out.
You are awesome, thank you for your wonderful lessons filled with wonderful information that I can trust!
Dziękuję za przydatne informacje. 👍
Oh my goodness, thanks!! I was just getting ready to work with the alcohol inks. I'm really glad I watched this first. I was going to make window charms & you just saved me some heartaches and embarrassment when I give these as gifts! I have found that if I want to try something but I'm not sure how it will work I check out your videos & 99% of the time you have the answer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! What would we do without you to guide us?!?!
Enjoyed the video. It was such a huge difference between the coasters.
Thank you for this video. I was considering using the inks on a vase. Now I know better!!
I am so glad I watched this before using the new alcohol inks I bought specifically to use in resin!! Yikes. I planned to use it in jewelry, but now I'll save it for more appropriate applications. Thanks, also, for mentioning your other channel. I'm going there from here. I really enjoy your "experimental" spirit and the willingness to share both the victories and defeats in your studio.
Waw, I can't believe how different those colours are. I know you suffer with colour blindness but they definitely look like different colours. Thanks for showing us.
Wow, what a dif in them after only 14 days and think no one wants that happening when buying your coasters thanks for this tutorial and teaching me what to avoid
and this is why i follow you! thank you for sharing all the great stuff you do with us!!!
Steve the wizard! Thank you for the demo.
As usual.....wonderful information! I could see the difference before the packaged one was opened.
I don’t like how resin cures with them, either. Never as solid with alcohol inks, and I’ve tried many brands/types. I’m very precise with measuring and stirring and the only time I get bendy resin is when using alcohol inks or Castin’ Craft white, even in small quantities.
Wow! I had no idea that would happen with alcohol inks! Thank you for this information.
Thank you for this demonstration!
Thank you!🤗
Oh my gosh!!! I had no idea!! I’m not sure what to do with all my alcohol inks! That is amazing! Thanks, Steve!
I love both your channels. Always look forward to new videos. Greetings from South Australia
Super, you saved me a lot of frustration, thanks
Thank you so much for this information.
Sorry to hear there are mean people, you don’t deserve that. I am completely shocked to see the difference in the coasters! You can’t dispute that! Thank you for everything you do & all the information you give, I am thankful for that! 🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️
