Hello friends! I share my tips on using resin. I am not an expert just sharing my experience and what has worked for me. I do want to make sure if you work with resin not only do you need to be in a well ventilated room but PLEASE wear a good mask to protect yourself.
Hello, I just watched two of your videos for the first time, couldn't comment to thank u on how to make your own silicone, the one reisn didn't give u perfect ends. I would like to know where if Amazon brokering these silicone molds I ve seen here, cause I failed to findem , I am in Jordan Middle East. Thank you so much.
This was extremely helpful. I am interested in using resin in my molds and am a complete beginner, so having this video showing all the steps is perfect. Thank you.
I use wax, crayons, melt down and place in the plastic shells that snap together. 17.22 meters round I fine it very easy and I must say I love doing this. Just sharing. Im a new subscriber to your channel.
Have you ever used the resin to fill larger mold pieces? For example, say a hand shaped one, not flat on one side, but the entire hand? Wondering if that may work, or would you recommend something else? I’m interested in creating an entire hand, that is colorless. And what would you recommend to use to create the mold (such as alginate, silicone, etc) to fill with the resin?
I’m confused at what you were doing in the beginning, how come you poured the resin in multiple cups and then decided to combine them all into one? Is that necessary? I am only asking because I want to try out a project using resin
Resin comes in 2 parts. The resin and the hardener. I poured them into separate cups to measure exactly the right amount for each. I hope that helps. 😊
Yay! I also use clear epoxy resin for my prima moulds becuz I can't seem to find the milky colored one. Am sure I can learn something from your video. Would love to know how to clean the moulds though, the residue of the resin often stays in the tiny nooks and crannies, especially in intricate designs.
I prefer polyurethane resin and I used some metal package after pate. This package is elastic enough to do some kind of a nozzle and it's easier to pour the reisin into molds. The epoxy is nice beacuse it's colourless - I have to try this one either :) Thanks for that film!
Thank you for sharing Tiffany. You are so very talented and I love learning from you. It’s such a joy. Question, as this is first time watching this process. Do you have to use the torch? Or is it an option if you are only looking to remove the air bubbles? If you are painting them, can you avoid that step?
Hello. It was about 5 or 6 hours. It will vary for every brand and also the climate you live in. It is hard to give an exact time. Because sometimes I pour the resin and I have to wait 12 hours to get it out. You can always test it but trying to remove the piece. Sorry I can't be of more help. But I hope this helps even just a little bit. Thanks for watching!
This was very helpful....thank you for sharing it! I make dollhouse frames from silicone molds and have always used a 2 part "liquid plastic" It has a set time of only 3 minutes so it makes it difficult to pour many at a time How long do you have with this resin? I'm also curious how the finished product compares with liquid plastic. Durability and finish etc. THANK YOU!
Hi, I love your videos... watching from northern Canada. Was wondering if you could tell me the brand of the gloves you're using in this video. It does not come up on Canadian Amazon. :-) thank you
Hi there thanks for sharing this! My questions are can u add inks, paints, powders to the resin while in the molds or do u mix first with color then pour? And is there a special non stick spray or product you have to use to get the resin to pop out once cured? Thanks much!
Hello Kari. Yes you can add pigment powders, glitter, paints and more. I am unsure the ratio though. There is a mold release spray. I have never used it but this one seems to get good reviews. amzn.to/3qLUL7n Thanks so much for watching!
Tiffany do you know if you are able to add color to the resin? If so what type of color medium would you use? Loved your video. I can’t wait to see what you make with the resin pieces.
in the previous video you said Resin didnt give good result in silicone molds , which is i need but what kind of silicone mold r u using? did u make those silicone molds?
There is one video where I made the molds yes and the resin would not cure. The Prima molds and store bought silicone molds work great with resin. I hope that helps! Thanks so much!
Hi i bought some tiny gummie bear molds (like nail charm size) and was wondering how to fill something that tiny? Their little feet are the hardest to fill
@@Tiffany.Solorio Aww thanks girl, I'll definitely try that out & post a update when i get them done :) I'm making them "doll size" as I'm a adult collector, I find making mini anything is fun lol... Just very new to epoxy and tiny molds 😂💖 appreciate your videos. Subbed today :)
That is awesome!! Yes please update! My daughter who is almost 10 loves making her barbies stuff. Have you heard of my froggy stuff? My daughter is obsessed! She makes them coffee shops and movie theaters. It’s so fun to see how creative she is in a whole different way then I am! Thanks for subbing! I hope you enjoy more content!
What is easier to use resin or clay or ? .. new to this looking to redo dressers in flowers 🌸 ..which stays in tact best ( doesn’t break ) what is most cost effective? Lastly what is best glue to adhere. ANY help from anyone appreciated. Thanks PS please list anything you think I may have forgotten. Looking to do on dresser at home & also to gift dresser for baby 1st Birthday next month. Thanks again 🌷🌸🌺
I have questions is that, through epoxy resin can we make sculpture or 3D object ... Iam not talking about casting resin... I am asking about table top resin
Okay I got some questions, I seen you said you are new to this so am I! I was wondering though can this have glitter and other jewels or dried flowers incorporated? Also if left for longer to cure does it get harder and less foldy(yes I think I just made that word)? Do you know if there is one similar that would look like glass? I would appreciate your answer!♥️ actually two more question can I add pictures? And am I able to do one mold and add it to another bigger mold?
Hi Alma! Sorry for the late reply! Yes you can add all sorts of things to the resin. Lots of people create beautiful trays with dried flowers and glitter.
You should add the "extreme mixxing of resin " to your other video in text. You had said "Resin doesn't work" You will have more people respect your channel, if you correct that. We all live and learn :) Subscribed. 🙂
Can you do this in a plastic mold. I have the blessed mother and last supper molds I can not find them In silicone molds. I been trying different stuff to fill them with and I’m not having good luck any will be appreciated thanks.
I imagine yes. I have some plastic molds from Stamperia. I would try and mix just a tin bit together and put just a tad bit into the mold and let it cure for 24 hours to test it. Those molds sound amazing. The last supper is one of my favorites. I hope this helps.
I must have used the wrong resin, think mine is a 2 part, finishing resin. I made several new molds, hours ago, they are not setting up, not turning white? Says, 48 hours!😳Have I ruined my new molds?
No I don’t think they are ruined. This happened to me. I can’t remember what I used to get it all out. It may have been isopropyl alcohol maybe. It was a few years back. If it comes to me I will comment again.
Thank you! I do plan to get a small scale for my craft room. I don't use resin that often but I know that it is important to get both parts equal. Thanks again!
Hi Tiffany, I watched a video recorded by a girl, who got sick from resin by not using it in a well ventilated room and not using a mask. She has serious issues with her lungs. I have stopped using my resin after seeing this video. Maybe use this special mask next time when poring resign - just for your safety. Take care! :)
I saw that video too, Very sad! I don't use resin often but when I do I always have my window open. I also wear a mask that my husband has for when he does word working. It has 2 huge vent things. I also say in my video to wear a mask. I appreciate you and how you are looking out for me and others. I think I am going to put a disclaimer in the comments of this video for good measure. Thanks again.
Saying that you use "resin" is like saying that you use liquid. From what I see, what you use is EPOXY resin, and epoxy is the word to stress. There is also polyester resin, vinylester resin, and many more.
Hello friends! I share my tips on using resin. I am not an expert just sharing my experience and what has worked for me. I do want to make sure if you work with resin not only do you need to be in a well ventilated room but PLEASE wear a good mask to protect yourself.
Do you have to spray mold before applying Epoxy and if so what do You use?
I love making resin molds! There’s something so satisfying about unmolding them. The perfect look versus clay is so much better.
Thanks Jess. It really is.
I just started out making projectiles for my Byrna HD Launcher. I learning to make a mold 17.22mm round balls.
Just curious why you didn't color the resin? You can use acrylic paint if that's all you have.

Awesome. I hope it helps. I am no expert but I know what works for me. Thanks so much for watching!
I love watching you use moulds and I've decided to jump into the process. What are a few moulds you would recommend for a beginner?
Hello!! Thanks so much! I think it depends on your style and what you like. It is really hard to say. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
Good idea to cover with parchment paper!
Thanks so much for watching!
I use wax, crayons, melt down and place in the plastic shells that snap together. 17.22 meters round
I fine it very easy and I must say I love doing this. Just sharing. Im a new subscriber to your channel.
Is Resin and hardener both have to be equal.?
How much quantity of hardened and resin?
Have you ever used the resin to fill larger mold pieces? For example, say a hand shaped one, not flat on one side, but the entire hand? Wondering if that may work, or would you recommend something else? I’m interested in creating an entire hand, that is colorless. And what would you recommend to use to create the mold (such as alginate, silicone, etc) to fill with the resin?
Thank you for the great tips on doing resin in molds.
Happy to help!
Thank you for showing how to do this. I have everything to work with but never have started yet:-)
Glad it was helpful!
I'm going to try the resin! These turned out so well. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Kelley. Thanks so much for watching!
I’m confused at what you were doing in the beginning, how come you poured the resin in multiple cups and then decided to combine them all into one? Is that necessary? I am only asking because I want to try out a project using resin
Resin comes in 2 parts. The resin and the hardener. I poured them into separate cups to measure exactly the right amount for each. I hope that helps. 😊
Found this very helpful but I would like to know how or if you clean molds after.
Hello Jodi. No need to clean them really. There is a little resin but it just comes right off. Thanks for watching!
Tiffany, awesome video! thank you so much. I just got Resin in as well and can't wait to play! YAY!
Awesome Mary!! I can't wait to see what you create!
Wow love it. Do you have a video of how you paint and use your resin molds in your projects too?
Hello. Not a specific video no. I just either use Gesso and then use sprays or acrylic paint. I hope that helps. Thanks so much!
Yay! I also use clear epoxy resin for my prima moulds becuz I can't seem to find the milky colored one. Am sure I can learn something from your video. Would love to know how to clean the moulds though, the residue of the resin often stays in the tiny nooks and crannies, especially in intricate designs.
Hey there. I hope you found the video helpful. Thanks so much for watching!
Welcome to my addiction!
LOL! Belinda. It really is addicting. Thanks for watching!
can these resin molds be painted with acrylics?
Yes.
hi what is the name of the mould with the crowns bugs and butterfly mould?
Can I use a hot air gun instead of butane torch?
Yes.
I prefer polyurethane resin and I used some metal package after pate. This package is elastic enough to do some kind of a nozzle and it's easier to pour the reisin into molds. The epoxy is nice beacuse it's colourless - I have to try this one either :) Thanks for that film!

Thank you so much!! A heat gun works as well. I hope that helps!
hi, how long did you let it cure that it's still flexible to add to bottles? thanks!
Hello. It was about 5 or 6 hours. It will vary for every brand and also the climate you live in. It is hard to give an exact time.

Dollhouse frames sound so fun! The resin takes up to 48 hours to cure completely. I hope that helps. Thanks so much!

So sorry for the delay. The black ones are my husbands. I think he gets them at the store in the automotive section.The brand is Venom.
@@Tiffany.Solorio thank you so much 😊
Hi there thanks for sharing this! My questions are can u add inks, paints, powders to the resin while in the molds or do u mix first with color then pour? And is there a special non stick spray or product you have to use to get the resin to pop out once cured? Thanks much!

TU so much for this video. I will pull out my prima molds and gets to working.
Have fun!
Tiffany do you know if you are able to add color to the resin? If so what type of color medium would you use? Loved your video. I can’t wait to see what you make with the resin pieces.
I add acrylic paint and mix it so that ideally there are no more bubbles 😊
I also used the powders : like color glows from 13 arts or magicals by Lindys ;) (but with polyurethane resin :)
Thanks for watching TIsa! I see some viewers have answered. I love coloring resin.
You can use mica powder (Arteza do packs with lots of colors) or alcohol ink.
in the previous video you said Resin didnt give good result in silicone molds , which is i need
but what kind of silicone mold r u using? did u make those silicone molds?
There is one video where I made the molds yes and the resin would not cure. The Prima molds and store bought silicone molds work great with resin. I hope that helps! Thanks so much!
Great video! Just starting out on my “moulding journey” lol. TYFS 💜🦋❤️
Can we use chocolate silicon mold for resin ?
Yes. I have a few molds that I got at Hobby Lobby that I have used with resin.
@@Tiffany.Soloriowhat if they are thin ? Will they work, they will not show any chemical effect?
Hi i bought some tiny gummie bear molds (like nail charm size) and was wondering how to fill something that tiny? Their little feet are the hardest to fill
They sound so cute. I would use a popsicle stick or even a tooth pick to carefully add the resin. I hope this helps.
@@Tiffany.Solorio Aww thanks girl, I'll definitely try that out & post a update when i get them done :) I'm making them "doll size" as I'm a adult collector, I find making mini anything is fun lol... Just very new to epoxy and tiny molds 😂💖 appreciate your videos. Subbed today :)

How do you colour them or are they always used clear. Thanks x
I always paint them after to go with what ever project I am creating. I usually use acrylic paint or gesso. I hope this help.
How do u paint it after its cured?
This was a great video. I just getting into moods...what do you use to colour the resin after?
Thanks Selena. I will add white gesso to them and then I can add whatever medium I want to. I hope that helps.
@@Tiffany.Solorio can you do video of you doing that? Please
Where did you get your gloves?
I believe in the auto supply section at walmart. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
I have questions is that, through epoxy resin can we make sculpture or 3D object ... Iam not talking about casting resin... I am asking about table top resin
Yes I believe you can use table top resin the same way.
@@Tiffany.Solorio thank you
I am new subscriber. I am new to resin. I use resin with a UV light. Can I use UV resin in silicone molds in detailed molds?
Hello Artie. I want to say yes but I am not 100% sure. Have you tried googling it? Sorry I can't be more help. Thanks for watching.
Okay I got some questions, I seen you said you are new to this so am I! I was wondering though can this have glitter and other jewels or dried flowers incorporated?

Very cute 🥰
my uv clay won't seem to work in silicone moulds. Just stays sticky
I haven't tried UV resin in moulds. So I am not much help.
Can’t. Wait. 🎊🎉
Thank you for watching Annika
You should add the "extreme mixxing of resin " to your other video in text. You had said "Resin doesn't work" You will have more people respect your channel, if you correct that. We all live and learn :) Subscribed. 🙂
Which video?
Is this fast setting resin? If not that should be specified.
It is not fast drying. I do say to let it dry for 24 hours. Fast drying resin is ready in like 10 minutes.
Spray 91Percnt alcohol in a spray bottle, then wait a little bit, there faster up
Can you do this in a plastic mold. I have the blessed mother and last supper molds I can not find them In silicone molds. I been trying different stuff to fill them with and I’m not having good luck any will be appreciated thanks.

we always called those bigger sticks - tongue depressors, like you get at the doctor's office. i've never seen a popsicle big enough for those sticks!
Yes you are right! LOL! Thanks for watching!!
Well now I have to try this. 😂
Yes! You need to!! Thanks so much for watching!
If you weigh it, you can pour both into the same cup
Thank you! I do plan to get a small scale for my craft room. I don't use resin that often but I know that it is important to get both parts equal. Thanks again!
Question 🙋🏾♂️ to anyone with the answer: would a small vibration table help with getting those tight or negative spaces filled ?
Hi Tiffany, I watched a video recorded by a girl, who got sick from resin by not using it in a well ventilated room and not using a mask. She has serious issues with her lungs.

You would probably laugh if you seen my resin collection! I ha e a whole tall dresser filled with them! I love pouring and demoulding resin!
You an use super glaze from Home Depot I the paint department
U/v resin spatulas, anything in
Saying that you use "resin" is like saying that you use liquid. From what I see, what you use is EPOXY resin, and epoxy is the word to stress. There is also polyester resin, vinylester resin, and many more.
Even just saying epoxy isn't specific enough, if you use coating epoxy as casting epoxy you'll end up with a mess.
you use syringe.it's easier and neat. Thanks.
Thanks for the tip! I appreciate it!
you sound like stevie from good mythical morning
I had to look up who that was. I don't think so. but thank you!
de-mould I thought it was
Resin count: believe it was 28 times
