I have these stupid little molds. 😂 I’m so glad I’ve kept them. Thanks a million. You are awesome.
Great video. A suggestion: You could also use a plastic or silicone ice cube tray stuffed with play dough to make those stand up. Or a bit of hot glue on a piece of foam board. That way you wouldn’t risk sand going everywhere if it spilled and just bag up the play dough for later use. If I were doing multiples for mass production, I would just make a mold of the base and then store it with the jewelry molds. Just a few thoughts, hope they are helpful to someone!😊
brilliant i think they are beautiful thanks steve i think you are brilliant thanks for everything
Would have never thought of embedding the toppers. Can’t wait to try.
Game changer! The soapy water and putting those in the mold before pouring is genius! Your channels are my absolute favorite channels! 😍
Well I think you might have just saved me chucking these moulds!! I could never get them out! TY
What a great idea to add the metal pieces first! I'm definitely going to try it. 😍
What a great idea to put the findings in the mold before filling! I will definitely do that from now on! Thanks! They all look amazing, too!
Really very helpful…wondered what to do with those molds. 🤗😋
I love those molds, my favs. I also rinse with soapy water, easy to demold a trick from you on that old video I saved. I also have the six sided pendant pieces but not the other shapes. You just helped me yet again, Steve. You're my inspiration 😊. I really like the mixture of 2 colors. I made one more interesting piece compared to my others, I slanted my piece after each partial cure with different colors. Mind you, I used UV resin, and I absolutely loved it purple, clear , then silver. I'd love to show you it. Well, thank you again for making my resin crafting easier Steve, you're the best 👌 👍 😍 hugs from Québec Canada 🫂😊
@carolthorburn2979
This is Steve McDonald's channel, not 'Mike's'. 😊💕👍
Slanting your molds is a great way to give an interesting look to gems! Good thinking! 👍😊
@fairyspunfibers9098 OMG I don't know why it's like Steve looks so much like a "Mike " to me I make that mistake sometimes. I'm so so sorry Steve
I used them and a coaster mold to make ring holders
Ohmygod! Thank you for this mold releasing tip! Life saver!!!! THANK YOU!!!
Have been looking at those, but have begged off since I don't use those molds all that much. I think I am going to rethink this and get those, as well as a couple more molds to use with the tops. Some of the pieces I have made with those gemstone sticks/crystal molds have been absolutely stunning, but again, having to do the screw eyes into the top doesn't always work like it should. Thank you for doing this, this is going to help expand my items further than what I have them now. 💜
Steve, that's a *BRILLIANT* idea!! 😍 They look so nice! You are so clever! 👍😊💕
Major thumbs up ❤❤
These are very pretty
Thanks!
Steve, more great ideas to make our crafting lives easier. Thank you ❤❤❤
awesome idea, love your videos Cheers
They are beautiful. Thank you for another great video... 😊❤
genius!
Thank you so much for the tutorial Steve. Great tip of the water! 👍☺️🇬🇧
Nice makes Steve, good idea with the metal bits. you're right about the Let's Resin lcohol inks. I also found they are the ones that don't fade over time
Now I want too see you as Darth Vader and say some of his lines while in your respirator mask 😂
Steve is the UK link correct as it took me to US and said unavailable 😢, love your videos,very inspiring. I don’t know how you do it all . Thanks again 😊
Those look terrific! 😍
excellent video to show what they can be used for, and they look really nice. they should sell well
Thank you. I know a lot of people have these moulds and struggle with them. I really like them, so hope this video helps. ❤
Hi Steve , love watching your videos and you crafts. I’m starting out . I would love to make these however the link I clicked on is US and was wondering if you the link is wrong . I know you have links for US I’ve definitely clicked on the right one. Thanks for your wonderful videos . Very inspiring and love what you do . 😊
Wow, love em! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing all them links with us!!😃
great info!! now I need to try those as well!❤
Super awesome. Beautiful. Thank you
Excellent work!
Crystals always are eye catching ❤
Oh I'll definitely have to make some of these before my next craft show in March.
Love em Steve. 😊
Darn clever as usual!
Hi Steve, WOW super cool loved them all super cool colours thanks for sharing 👍💖 Steve, if it is possible please can you do a video showing what you do with your leftover resin thanks 👍
I never got a pendant without bubbles, mostly on the sides,,out of these molds.
Wow can’t believe how easy you got them out - I’m definitely trying that soon!!
Can I please just ask what is in the 2 rectangular packets that you hold sometimes when you’re talking?
Thanks for all your helpful tips and ideas.
Love your videos, so informative. I’ve had some Jdiction 4hr fast cure delivered today and irs cloudy, is it due to temperature or should I return. Never had this before. Thanks for any help. Carry on the great work
I love how you give a price on what you would sell them but unfortunately living in the USA I’m not sure how much for here can you help me with that? Thanks 😢😢
Hi Steve. Neat video - I love listening to you! If I wanted to buy some of those, where would I find them? I'm not seeing them in your Spring store. Thanks, Susie
I have the pinch bails with the loops at the top would that work to make the pendants??
Hi where do you sell your art?? I tried selling mine on Etsy but no luck
The link provided only has the hexagon bails? Where did you find the assortment? I’ve done every sort of search term I can think of???? Please?
What are the jewelry pieces you put in the mold and where did you get them please?
The links are in the description
No one needs a sticky tip lmao
Help?! Amazon only has hexagon hardware (bails) and they are unavailable?! Where is you get the assortment? Or even individual!!? Thanks!
The jewellery caps cost nearly 60p each
Hi, will these toppers tarnish?
Depends very much on what they're made of.
Stainless steel? No, they'll be fine, as you'd expect.
There's craft copper wire that you can get that has a plastic covering over it.
It's often in many different colours. These too will not tarnish, as long as the plastic film is not scratched.
Other cheaper wires can often dull quickly, so always check what it's made of.
You can always clean the wire, dry it thoroughly (to remove all fingerprints) and then give it a light coat of protective lacquer or something.
That will absolutely stop it from tarnishing for a long time.
This is what is done with a lot of silver jewellery, to stop it going dull.
The lacquer in question is often thinned, ( you don't want any thick globs forming on your piece) and then the piece is dipped, shaken off and allowed to dry.
This is what jewellery makers and silversmiths do with their wire pieces to keep them looking shiny and perfect.
Hope this helps! :D
I don’t have those molds I have the crystal ones
Strange. This Wednesday I got a suggestion from YT to watch a four years old video of yours. I never get info of your older videos. Ever. Only new ones, from both channels. This old video had a red background and you had that kind of moulds in your hands. And now this new video comes up with the moulds and a blue background. - and I even checked if this was a new one before I went ahead and watched it. And then in this new video you mention the video from years ago, and it getting lost in time and being buried. So, well, I can tell you No, it isn't lost. It's here. And I'm trying to understand why this happened. Either you pranked us or this is spookey business.
Put a drop of baby oil into the top of those molds and the epoxy will come right out.
Why don’t you make a cement mold that holds the other molds. THAT WAY, you won’t have to buy those styrofoam or green things that pollute your lungs. People worry about the resin, but not those things.
Lol!
Kinda a good point, but working with cement has it's own risks when it is dry and powdery.
At that stage, it's kinda to the point of merely choosing a poison. :P
Cement is certainly more robust and permanent though.
Another quicker, easier substitute would be plaster...but dust-wise, it's no different than cement.
It's easier to get, can get it in smaller quantities, and it sets faster, overall. :D
The sand works just fine.
Sand is the way too go lol !
You have let poker gambling in my town of Martin County kentucky and let it go on after I have reported it several times
How much is 4 pounds four dollars
Steve, more great ideas to make our crafting lives easier. Thank you ❤❤❤
