I think if I heat the lotion bottle to lower its viscosity maybe a day before using again, the bubbles in the lotion should be able to escape allowing me to get a bubble free demold 🥰
Creating my list now... * baby lotion * wide array of stencils * nifty holder for my let's resin mixer Sir Daniel!! You are costing me a fortune.. 😉 😂 thanks again for all that you do! 💕
@@daniel..cooper at least when I make purchases on your recommendation I don't ever suffer buyers remorse.. Should I just message you my credit card number?? That way you can place my order when you do yours.. Lol! I appreciate you!! 💕
A very genius idea here! To color the ‘etching’ I would ‘swipe ‘n wipe’ over the design with a wax based colorant, like shoe polish! I think it would come off the smooth surface nicely and just darken the design. Or for a metallic look, something like Rub ‘n Buff might work well. Just a couple ideas that occurred when you went for the acrylic paint 😉
I love this effect. The plain glass etching look is what I prefer. Although I like the gold in the leaves. ❤ Thank you so much for posting your experiments.
Very good idea about the stencil and cream / lotion! Couple things that come to my mind: - after pouring the resin you could try tapping on the table for a while, as vibration makes bubbles go up - maybe you could try going with a Dremel in the insets to sand down the surface (reducing the bubble's holes) and getting a matte finish for the shapes Great content and ideas, keep it up ! :)
This was a real win / win for you. Like you I prefer the original etched look, but Mrs Cooper had a major win too with the nail powder! It really enhanced the butterfly and took away nothing. Kudos to you Mrs Cooper!
I agree, the ones left 'untouched' are really classy. Love the narcissus - they remind me a little of _René Lalique's_ stunning glassware. Another banger, Professor Cooper! 🖤
I’ve got this mixer as it came with the gallon of resin I ordered from them last week (it was a lightening deal offer) and for me as well, it’s a complete game changer and my resin has never been so clear with hardly any bubbles. I’m off to buy the stand now, as I had no idea they had this too. Oh and I’ve got the baby lotion now and that’s my next thing to do once I’ve got my current project finished! Thanks 😊
WOW!!!!! I am so blown away!!! Think of the possibilities for this technique!!! I am pulling out my stencils this weekend and having a go at it!!!! Thank you Daniel with your scientific mind and your go big or go home attitude!!! Keep ‘em coming. my friend!!!!
They are stunning, definitely better without the acrylic paint, you don’t know till you try! I actually like the smoked look of the mould behind after using the nail dust. Thanks again for sharing you knowledge Mr Cooper, thanks also to Mrs Cooper for her recommendation 😊
Great video Daniel. The stand is awesome. I really like the clear etched look. Thank you again for your wonderful talent and videos ❤ Take great care and keep creating and smiling ❤
I feel like one of the things people like about DIY craft videos is that anyone can do them easily. I enjoy watching your videos and others because I can picture myself doing what I'm watching. Everything used in making resin crafts like colors, powders, foil etc. can financially add up, though in small amounts it's still doable. I feel like when you start using things like heat mats, pressure chambers, cordless mixers and mixer holders though, the simple crafts seem to feel more commercial and less personal. I like videos that introduce these things. It's nice to see what's out there but when added to simple projects I start feeling less interested or just overwhelmed by all the things I need to get in order to do a little craft project. I know people say, "Well, you don't need to use them." If someone is doing a "how to video" though and they are using all these gadgets it's hard to relate to that project. Am I the only one who feels this way? Is it just the poor in me? 😄
I have the upgraded version and it's A1 setting is an absolute game changer ,I was finding mixing by hand really very painful as I have osteoarthritis, and carp tun in both hand n wrists .I absolutely love it ,I also have a allergic reaction if I accidentally get resin on my skin so have to be very very careful even though I wear the appropriate safety wear ,so the less in contact with the resin by hand the better ,no more swollen hands or wrists ❤❤
I have a wedding in a few weeks. Going to make a plaque with a few of their pictures and the baby lotion for their names and wedding date. I am so excited to make it. Thanks again Daniel for sharing your talent!
I sure wish you would publish your wonderful work in a book. I’m so interested in this creative endever you so patiently deliver yet my senior yrs compromise my time for utube…thankyou.
Yay! The description box came back! I don't know why it wasn't there the other day but I am glad it's back because I definitely want to find the products that you use ❤
Thank you Daniel for all your experiments they are amazing 😍 I done my own experiment with a silk screen and didn't have body lotion only had body butter but thought oh well doubt there's much of a difference and I was soooo pleased with the results 😃 thank you again for experimenting and giving everyone ideas 😊
Oh you make me laugh, the"swipe and wipe". The small bubbles surprised me, but you are right about the texture. It looks nice on the leaf. And gold on the leaves looks great. Thank you for sharing😊
My newest addition to my craft devices is a leveling board and heat pad. Love them both! I also bought the stirring mixers that I put in my little Dremel. They work ok
Wow what a lovely design that turned out to be. I'm new to your channel but loving how you experiment with different thing's making it much different from other channels 👍🏼
I would use a soft clay in the stencil and before you lift it, press a fine grade sand paper over it to achieve the etched look. Then lift both of them off and voila! Once the epoxy is cured you can pick out the clay. Maybe a little vaseline over the clay before the sandpaper would make it come out of the resin easier.
Yes, the heat from the pad basically made the lotion sweat. Which is what caused the bubbles. I don't know if there is a way to truly stop the lotion from reacting to the heating pad with sweats but I'm up to watch you try! 😂
Oh, yay! You went back to the etch look! LOVE that bubbly texture you got with the heated lotion. It looks really cool. 😍 Mrs. Cooper's idea turned out great! My !ind is spinning in all directions, now. Wow, you could make some really cool Christmas tree baubles with this technique!
I agree the paint in the etching detracts. However, in m mind ... a thin coating of alcohol ink very very subtle transparency might look good like water color. That might be a fun experiment.... it will be on my list of things to try .... im also wondering if letting the lotion dry out then paint the lotion parts with alcohol ink ifvit would transfer some color ... although way less control maybe ..... ok now i think i need to try ot out with just a blob of lotion let it dry then paint in an abstract pattern with different colors and transparencys on the blob and see if there is any transfer and control issues .... ill leave the content production to you ... hope you try it and show the results!!!
I love the texture of the little bubbles. Personally I will keep the design clear for the glass etching effect. But I do wonder if, leaving the lotion to dry out a bit, if a light dusting of mica powder on the lotion will work.🤔🤔. Also, mixing in colour in the resin itself might provide a very nice effect (once again thinking of glass etching). I need to try this THIS weekend😂.
You could also do a color resin with the stensile, lift the stensile and let it harden, then over it with clear to get a coloring effect to your clear coasters
I’d love to see you demonstrate the magnetic resin stirrers. Been thinking of getting one of those. The leaves actually remind me of fall leaves as they get holes and such in them naturally. ❤❤❤ demonstrations. 🥰
I absolutely LOVE your content! Just wanted to get it out there! The simple elegant frosted glass" is definitely my favorite. It keeps it from turning into kitsch. Butterfly was just beautiful. Leaves' texture looked as an intended effect. Wonderful trick! 😍😎
Saw your video the other day with you having fun...trying to put the baby lotion in the small squeeze bottle. I put the lotion into a piping bag then squeezing that into the bottle worked amazingly. Just thought I'd share incase you hadn't already figured a better way.

I think if I heat the lotion bottle to lower its viscosity maybe a day before using again, the bubbles in the lotion should be able to escape allowing me to get a bubble free demold 🥰
How about trying this with Vaseline (petroleum jelly)? It has a lower water content than lotion, so hopefully fewer bubbles.
@maiaallman4635 I did think about this but maybe more difficult to wipe up?
Can you put the lotion in the resin degasing machine? Or pressure pot.
I think I'd try popping the lotion in the freezer for 15 mins before using. IDK, does lotion freeze?
@anitamitchell3452 yes, it should freeze 😊😊
Creating my list now...
* baby lotion
* wide array of stencils
* nifty holder for my let's resin mixer

The main line of chalk paint at Walmart has several colors of a wax to go over it.
I've only found you about a week ago, but I'm really loving your experiments with resin. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!
Thanks and welcome 😊😊😊
I love this effect. The plain glass etching look is what I prefer. Although I like the gold in the leaves. ❤ Thank you so much for posting your experiments.
You’re welcome 😊 Thanks Christine 😊
Thank you Daniel for another interesting video, I’d never get bored of watching your videos and how you explain everything in detail, thanks again 😊

Thanks 😊
Hi Daniel, I'm Jenn. I love your videos. Thanks for experimenting for us.
Excellent project! And I agree, the coloring of the butterfly took away from your etched project. The powders looked much better. ❤️
Thank you Daniel. I tested the lotion, and by gum this 80yr old great granny got it spot on. I thank you for all your experiments. You are the best.
Yay, congratulations 🎊 😊😊😊
I am using Vaseline,and it works great as well.

The gold leaves are gorgeous, and remind me of autumn leaves with the first frost on them. Beautiful!
You are truly breaking the creativity barriers ❤️. Thank you sooooo much for your vision and creativity🥰
I've taken a few weeks off and when I came back you've blown my mind again! Absolutely brilliant!!!!
Wow, thanks Laura, hope you had a nice time 🥰
FANTASTIC! You sure are "breaking the mold" on what we can do with resin! I so love your "experiments!" Thank you!
Thank you so much! 😊
I love these etched designs! What an amazing idea using lotion. Thank you for sharing your experiments and this idea.
You are so welcome! Thank you 😊
Yep!! Much prefer the nail powders. Those bubbles in the leaves looked quite nice. The leaves Autumn leaves that had fallen
HOLY SMOKES DANIEL!! I absolutely love these. ❤
Beautiful, well done Mrs Cooper with the nail powder idea
WOW!!!!! I am so blown away!!! Think of the possibilities for this technique!!! I am pulling out my stencils this weekend and having a go at it!!!! Thank you Daniel with your scientific mind and your go big or go home attitude!!! Keep ‘em coming. my friend!!!!
Thanks, I know right! So endless 😊 working on another idea for this right now 😊😊
I'm sure the agents for Istoyo thank you for the EXTENSIVE advertising.
I just looked at this on Amazon yesterday, due to Arthritis in hands,so glad you are reviewing this, i was wondering about the power of the product.
Totally AWESOME! Beautiful suncatcher. Thanks for the tip!
Hi Daniel. Thank you once again for a detailed well explained video. Always look forward to the next new video..😊❤
Thank you! 😃
They are stunning, definitely better without the acrylic paint, you don’t know till you try! I actually like the smoked look of the mould behind after using the nail dust. Thanks again for sharing you knowledge Mr Cooper, thanks also to Mrs Cooper for her recommendation 😊
Thanks 😊 I prefer it plain but it's there for others to experiment with 😊 Yep, Mrs. Cooper had a great idea 😊🥰
I liked the effect from the lotion bubbles giving texture. To me it looked etched❤
They are beautiful, i like the bubbles in the leaves, the powder colour looks beautiful in them ❤
Thanks 😊
Great video Daniel. The stand is awesome. I really like the clear etched look. Thank you again for your wonderful talent and videos ❤ Take great care and keep creating and smiling ❤
Thanks Dale, yes, I prefer it clear..... for now 😂 More to come soon 😊😊😊

Thanks so much 😊
Hi Daniel superb absolutely fantastic ideas I really loved these keep sharing new information thanks a lot 🙏
My pleasure! Thank you 😊
I have the upgraded version and it's A1 setting is an absolute game changer ,I was finding mixing by hand really very painful as I have osteoarthritis, and carp tun in both hand n wrists .I absolutely love it ,I also have a allergic reaction if I accidentally get resin on my skin so have to be very very careful even though I wear the appropriate safety wear ,so the less in contact with the resin by hand the better ,no more swollen hands or wrists ❤❤
LOVE how the etchings look with the powders. This is such a cool technique!
What a cool technique. I would definitely want to try this.
Dude I LOVE your watch!
I love the bubbles!!!! I know you weren’t looking for the bubbles to be there but they look Amazing!!!❤
Thanks again for another video. It's always entertaining watching you experiment.
Thanks Rita 😊
I really like your creativity & experimentation! ❤
Thank you! 😊
Amazing. Daniel this is absolutely stunning. Who would have thought baby lotion. Thank you so much for sharing your experiments ❤
My pleasure 😊 thanks as always Maddie 😊😊
This is wonderful...I have to try it....your so clever 😊
I liked it without coloring also. The butterfly
I have a wedding in a few weeks. Going to make a plaque with a few of their pictures and the baby lotion for their names and wedding date. I am so excited to make it. Thanks again Daniel for sharing your talent!
That is awesome! 😊😊😊
I think I just found one of my new favorite channels. 😄😄
Wow, thank you 😊
These are really beautiful!
I was actually shocked at how reasonable the cost was of the mixer and stand
It's a pretty decent cost for hands free mixing isn't it 😊
Me too!
Love the butterfly with the iridescent colors!
Thanks Carol 😊
LUV this technique..You can use tape to lift the excess powders from around the design then apply a thin layer of resin overall.
I sure wish you would publish your wonderful work in a book. I’m so interested in this creative endever you so patiently deliver yet my senior yrs compromise my time for utube…thankyou.
I love the epoxy mixer. I use mine all the time.
I will be too now 😂

Beautiful!
Excellent idea.... 🎉🎉🎉Wl try it
Oh you make me laugh, the"swipe and wipe". The small bubbles surprised me, but you are right about the texture. It looks nice on the leaf. And gold on the leaves looks great. Thank you for sharing😊
Thanks as always Bob 😊 So much more to come on this 😊😊
I absolutely love this method. Cam out great 1st try. Thanks for sharing your experimental mind with us. Would never have thought of this myself. ❤
Yay, congratulations 🎊

Wow what a lovely design that turned out to be.
I'm new to your channel but loving how you experiment with different thing's making it much different from other channels 👍🏼
Thanks and welcome 😊😊😊
Beautiful! Thanks gor sharing!
The bubbles in the leaves looks like snow or frost! You could use a fall colour edged with frost colour. 😊 Lovely❤
Great idea! Thanks Kate 😊
Beautiful...absolutely Beautiful ❤
Thank you so much! 😊

Beautiful!! How exciting-some crossover techniques I've learned - stenciling on paint. This etching technique is so pretty

I've read your other comments but I'm thinking a drier lotion, no longer in a true fluid state.
Drying the lotion may work, I have done a drying test over the past 24hrs and it dries nicely, lots more testing to be done 😊😊😊
Thanks, Daniel.
Absolutely beautiful. I loved the etched/bubble look. I must try this. I just bought the mixer-thanks for the review 👏👏👍
You are so welcome! Thank you 😊
Hi Daniel! This work is Superb!!! 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Oh I love mine it mixes so good never had a fell after using it
I love the bubbles!
You could also do a color resin with the stensile, lift the stensile and let it harden, then over it with clear to get a coloring effect to your clear coasters
Stained glass paint would be gorgeous 🧡
I’d love to see you demonstrate the magnetic resin stirrers. Been thinking of getting one of those. The leaves actually remind me of fall leaves as they get holes and such in them naturally. ❤❤❤ demonstrations. 🥰
I may try soon but need to find one suitable for high viscosity liquids 😊
Thanks for the great video and inspiration Daniel ❤
My pleasure! Thank you 😊
This technique is really shaping up!
Thank you 😊 so much more to test 😊
The sparkly one does look a bit nicer, although I really liked the clear one the best. Thanks.
Learning so much from your videos, thanks for sharing
