Steve! You are probably THE only RUclipsr that has collabed with a company and hasn't charged hundreds of dollars for your kit!! I thank you so very much for that! You truly are a peach my dear!! 🖤❤️
If like to share something with you, I do paint and is sketched and painted a galeon ship with a saying next to it."Ships don't sink because of the water around then, they sink because of the water that gets in them,don't let what's happening around you get inside you and weigh you down."
You know Steve I believe you've solved the issue of the consistency by putting the item in fridge to stabilize the Vaseline.I believe this is a better technique than lotion honestly.😊
Tea and Art also uses Vaseline with great success. So many genius resin artists on RUclips, I have a hard time keeping up 🤣 My pocketbook cries Everytime someone does a a new experiment too 🤣😝
I did it with lotion from Daniel Cooper. Perfect but I managed to hit it before it cured so a little smudge. Love the in the fridge routine with vaseline. Rushing to craft table now!😊
Daniel has also used vasoline. I haven't watched those videos yet but I saw a thumbnail. The biggest problem I would think there would be with using vasoline is how difficult it is to clean off afterwards.
"having more people do it is always a good thing, because then we learn more!" YES! THIS! this is one of the things I love about all the RUclips crafty/arty channels. You all share your methods, techniques, ideas, and often find ways to adjust and make them your own, or improve on them while you're at it. Hopefully soon I'll be able to set up and start sharing my own adventures in arts and crafts
Hello & Gday from Australia. I’ve been crafting with resin for about 8 months and have been making use of the RUclips tutorials. In the time I have been crafting with resins I noticed the labels have changed at least twice now in the last 8 months. First time I used the resin for crafting the odour was pretty strong, even though the mask I was wearing & a good exhaust was needed. The labels changed and the date of manufacture was on every label and a use by date of exactly 365 days is apparent on the new generation of resins. The labels also began to say low toxicity and odour to non toxic and no odour. The newest labels no longer have a use by date on the instructions on the label and promises of crystal clear bubble free resin. The resins really are very clear and bubble free now in the latest generation of resin for crafting. Cheers Steve & thanks.🙏
I really like how this turned out. Thank you for the idea & inspiration. I think the tray would look great if you put some gold leaf or gold glitter or even just a dusting of gold mica powder and then a nice top coat. That might look elegant. Thank you!
I've been using baby lotion with stencils. It works quite well for me. I made several trays for Christmas (2023) gifts. I've also rubbed the mold with mica power first then put the stencil dpwn to covering it with lotion. It worked really well. I did leave the lotion on for several hours to days just depending on my schedule. Lotion whipped off really easily. I'm also wanting to do cameos. Looking for small face and animals stencils to work with.
I tried the lotion and it was too messy if you did big leaves or petals (sunflowers for me) so found vaseline did perfectly for big spaces, after watching Daniel , so good on you for going straight to vaseline...
I have also used the baby lotion with a little success, but I found that a thicker body butter (£1.00 from Poundland) was better. I will be trying the vaseline now 😀
I have seen another youtuber use lotion instead of Vaseline and it comes out gorgeous. It goes on a little easier if you put it in a precision glue bottle before applying it. Then you can use stencils or not if you choose. And easy to wipe away mistakes. He used uv resin, but may work with regular resin. I do not know for certain.
Eye Candy pigments and KP pigments are a couple of my favorite brands. TLPs and Mad Micas as well as Black Diamond pigments are some other great pigments.
I tried vasoline as a mold release once and it is super hard to clean off molds. I've found using anything to wipe the inside of the molds out to clean off the vasoline ends up ruining your mold. It gets scratched and shows on the next piece you make in it.
Steve- I was thinking the same thing!! I have stencils on order to try this, and I'm so glad you did it. I want to try it with clear resin. I bet it will give it an etched look. Anyway, thanks for trying this! I love your videos! 😊
That looks great. Coujod you not add a dtrong color mica picment into the vaseline beforehand then refrigerate for a hour ? Make it stand out a little more !
maybe put in fridge before pulling stencil for sharper edges? I would screw an old sander to the table and run it while filling the molds to vibrate bubbles out.
I tried this a couple times with lotion after seeing Daniel Cooper do it. But an issue I had with the lotion was that it was too thin even after putting it in the fridge. I'll have to try it with Vaseline too, thank you! (I made a couple videos intending for them to be Christmas themed but couldnt edit them in time to post for Christmas 😅)
How did you know I have a lot of stencils I've hardly used in my rubber stamping stash? 😄 I can't wait to try this. Thank you for sharing. I have a lot of small ones, even brass ones, and I keep those in a cheap photo album I got at the dollar store, because they are about the size of a photo (remember those?) and each folder holds one. I use a large paper clip to keep the top of each sleeve closed.
i'd love to see if you can dust the hardened vaseline to get a colored etching if you dont mind trying that on a video please. this is an awesome technique and great for people who do resin but might not be able to afford silicone for inlays. tyvm!
u can make ur own pigment paste... most of us will have left over resin "A" - use that and use a pouring pigment...but u can get specific paint for this too... :)
❤ your expiramets, wish I had a good setup to do resin :/ I recently saw a guy use something I think called resin clay or reusable resin, and he did some similar stuff w/ stencil to this, and that was interesting as well. His name is Daniel Cooper, I think.
I think Tea and Art used vaseline, too, but I can't remember if she had a stencil. I've been meaning to try this (or the baby lotion method), but I'm still waiting for the weather to warm up. I think the acrylic paint looks really nice on the pattern, but they were really pretty even without anything. And now I'm thinking, gold leaf would look awesome, too...❤
Not only can you make your own stencils... there are SOOOO many free svgs out there... and you can make them too. I totally got bitten by the create your own paper bug and played a lot on inkscape making seamless repeating patterns... SO much fun. I love them for cardmaking. Of course... you better believe I have some cardmaking stensils too.
Wow, thats awesome. I inherited box's and box's of resin mpulds from my mum who passed away. When it gets warmer here in the UK i'm definitely going to experiment. I've already bought mica powders and colours, i already have tons of glitter, i've been glitter mad for years, so i cannot wait to start making things. Thank you for your video's, i think its great to gather as much info and tips before i start. I just need someone to clean my shed out so i can use it as a craft room 😂😂
Ah I wondered if you would get to this technique sometime :) Fun isn't it. Nice work Steve. Baby lotion works well too, and if you have 2 or 3 identical stencils you can stack them for a deeper relief
Steve, did you think of trying to add color to the Vaseline instead of having to paint them afterward? I don't know if it'd make the Vaseline thinner or not, but it might be worth trying to see what would happen; just a thought. But, I like the outcome.
Black diamond mica pigments are beautiful but that's mica powder not alcohol inks and baby lotion works the same way. Also I wonder now if you could color the Vaseline before hand....
The Jdiction colored UV resin on Amazon in the States is sold out until further notice. 🤦It's a shame because I really wanted to try them. Great idea, Steve. They turned out beautifully.
You TRULY need an electric toothbrush, like an old-school sonic-care or something... I'm sure you teeth are fine, Buuut... Using the vibration to get your fluids to move around, and then the brush end to clean things like PJelly are real timesavers. I weigh viscous fluids, and I use small vibrations like from the toothbrush rod to help them fill air-gaps. Love your vids. Subscribing.
great idea, question,how did the molds hold up. I saw this done with baby lotion but someone had mentioned that it left imprint on mold so I didn't try it as I don't have that many molds.
Just thought of some thing that might help you get some windows putty squeeze in hand until very soft then on a very flat surface like glass with the stencil on it use the plastic applicator spread the putty over mould then put in fridge 😅❤
I've also found that Vaseline is wonderful for helping clean resin if it gets on your skin. I cannot use resin without getting it all over me, Vaseline is a miracle cleaner.
I'm still getting started with non-uv resin, but if I put acrylic paint in the indentations, and then did a layer over the whole thing of transparent resin that would seal the paint in as well right?
First of your videos I have seen. I liked that the Vaseline worked. I haven’t started with any art, really. But, I am drawn to fluid art and resin art. I was just wondering if your Vaseline stencil would work, and transfer the color, if you dusted the stencil with mica powder, or a different resin power?
What would happen if you used a thick layer of the vaseline and lightly brushed it with mica or chameleon powder and then put it in the refrigerator for an hour?
A strange suggestion, would it possibly work if the vaseline is coloured, I would guess, with mica powders, as an alternative to using the UV resin? just a thought
Hi Steve, watch all your videos, doing a great job. I'm just starting out and was wondering what your thoughts are about heat mats? Keep up the great work
Well it's morning here in the US... I wanted to ask you, have you ever tried the kinder egg molds, by means the resin should not be used, but I did try coating the inside part of the kinder egg with Vaseline, but the outcome was kind of cloudy.. Can you do a video using Vaseline & resin with a kinder egg ...
I was thinking the same. I plan to also try refrigerating before removing the stencil in hopes that this will help clumsy me maintain the crisp lines when I remove the stencil. My next thought was if mixing a bit of corn starch or talc would help stabilize the petroleum jelly and possibly make it easier to apply a light coat of mica powder.
Hi Steve! I just wanted to thank you for making these videos and inspiring so many of us! While watching, I found myself wondering if you could use the Cricut to make stencils from plastic jugs, like laundry soap or distilled water? That way you could keep them longer? I'm not really knowledgeable about Cricuts, so I figured you might know.
Steve! You are probably THE only RUclipsr that has collabed with a company and hasn't charged hundreds of dollars for your kit!! I thank you so very much for that! You truly are a peach my dear!! 🖤❤️
Ditto!!!
If like to share something with you, I do paint and is sketched and painted a galeon ship with a saying next to it."Ships don't sink because of the water around then, they sink because of the water that gets in them,don't let what's happening around you get inside you and weigh you down."
I really like that saying!
Absolutely I’m going to watch anything that starts ‘why I regret not using Vaseline’ 👍🤣🤣
petroleum gel fiestas at night long 🤣
🤭
You know Steve I believe you've solved the issue of the consistency by putting the item in fridge to stabilize the Vaseline.I believe this is a better technique than lotion honestly.😊
Daniel Cooper here on youtube did this with baby lotion, now going to try both ;)
Love Daniel's channel! I tried the lotion, but I'm also gonna try this.
Tea and Art also uses Vaseline with great success. So many genius resin artists on RUclips, I have a hard time keeping up 🤣 My pocketbook cries Everytime someone does a a new experiment too 🤣😝
I did it with lotion from Daniel Cooper. Perfect but I managed to hit it before it cured so a little smudge. Love the in the fridge routine with vaseline. Rushing to craft table now!😊

Thank you, Dr. Mc.
I tried this last night and it worked. Thanks for sharing
Very cool! Love using the freezer to set the vaseline. And yes they do the same with pastry to set the butter.

This has ignited a fire under my Cricut! I have a huge roll of stencil vinyl and I may never be seen outside again! Thanks Steve, you are great!
I use gloss medium and put pigment in the medium to add colour
Daniel Cooper did this technique with baby lotion which came out lovely but do like your tip putting in fridge to firm it up great idea
Awesome job! I love this but, I think for me, I would of done a thin top coat of clear resin to finish them off.✌
I've been using baby lotion with stencils. It works quite well for me. I made several trays for Christmas (2023) gifts. I've also rubbed the mold with mica power first then put the stencil dpwn to covering it with lotion. It worked really well. I did leave the lotion on for several hours to days just depending on my schedule. Lotion whipped off really easily.
I'm also wanting to do cameos. Looking for small face and animals stencils to work with.
I used body butter and they came out lovely looked like they were etched 😍
I tried the lotion and it was too messy if you did big leaves or petals (sunflowers for me) so found vaseline did perfectly for big spaces, after watching Daniel , so good on you for going straight to vaseline...
I have also used the baby lotion with a little success, but I found that a thicker body butter (£1.00 from Poundland) was better. I will be trying the vaseline now 😀
I've seen people use regular baby lotion. I think it might work better because you don't have to worry about it melting like you do with the Vaseline.
I have seen another youtuber use lotion instead of Vaseline and it comes out gorgeous. It goes on a little easier if you put it in a precision glue bottle before applying it. Then you can use stencils or not if you choose. And easy to wipe away mistakes. He used uv resin, but may work with regular resin. I do not know for certain.
Lovely results. I have loads of stencils for my card making.
i totally love the whole “washing up liquid” man that’s great. Here it’s called dish washing liquid or dish soap.
Eye Candy pigments and KP pigments are a couple of my favorite brands. TLPs and Mad Micas as well as Black Diamond pigments are some other great pigments.
I tried vasoline as a mold release once and it is super hard to clean off molds. I've found using anything to wipe the inside of the molds out to clean off the vasoline ends up ruining your mold. It gets scratched and shows on the next piece you make in it.
Ive tried this with lotion. Daniel Cooper gave me the idea.
Tea and Art used vaseline. 😊
Steve- I was thinking the same thing!! I have stencils on order to try this, and I'm so glad you did it. I want to try it with clear resin. I bet it will give it an etched look. Anyway, thanks for trying this! I love your videos! 😊
That's such a a good idea! I have a whole container of petroleum jelly and a bunch of stencils. I'll definitely try this out.
I loved thank you I watch your video everyday cause of you I'm learning allot from you!❤thank you
That looks great. Coujod you not add a dtrong color mica picment into the vaseline beforehand then refrigerate for a hour ? Make it stand out a little more !

Hope you’re starting to feel better xx
i just want to say, i find your personality adorable

I use a large paper clip to keep the top of each sleeve closed.
I recently discovered that vasaline also works with hot glue too.
Very cool! How do you fix those "bubble chips" or holes on the side of the tray? I get those a lot.
Love it. Would it work if you placed the stencil back in the tray and then 'painted' over the stencil. Just thinking it might make it easier
i'd love to see if you can dust the hardened vaseline to get a colored etching if you dont mind trying that on a video please. this is an awesome technique and great for people who do resin but might not be able to afford silicone for inlays. tyvm!

This one has my mind spinning with ideas!
I have done this with baby lotion too before. Would like to try both and compare the result.
I think Tea and Art used vaseline, too, but I can't remember if she had a stencil. I've been meaning to try this (or the baby lotion method), but I'm still waiting for the weather to warm up. I think the acrylic paint looks really nice on the pattern, but they were really pretty even without anything. And now I'm thinking, gold leaf would look awesome, too...❤

I love working with resin it fun and enjoyable
I think you could use a dremel to trim the edge of the bigger piece and get rid of those bubble blemishes.
I never would have thought of this. So, thank you very much. ♥️
For the bubbles, could you have put that resin in one of those smaller vacuum chamber things, before you poured it?
Ah I wondered if you would get to this technique sometime :) Fun isn't it. Nice work Steve. Baby lotion works well too, and if you have 2 or 3 identical stencils you can stack them for a deeper relief
LOVE this technique, Steve! Genius! 😊💕👍 My favorite are the leaves pattern.
Thank you!! I will definitely be trying this!!

How about putting some Mica powder on the Vaseline just before you pull the stencil off? No futzing around with trying to paint it later.
Could you dust the frozen jelly with mica powder to embed the color?
Black diamond mica pigments are beautiful but that's mica powder not alcohol inks and baby lotion works the same way. Also I wonder now if you could color the Vaseline before hand....
This is fantastic. Im definitely going to try it
Great video as always. You said you like the let’s resin colors the best but than I see you used the jdiction are they both as good?
What a wonderful technique, Thank you for sharing and take care
The Jdiction colored UV resin on Amazon in the States is sold out until further notice. 🤦It's a shame because I really wanted to try them. Great idea, Steve. They turned out beautifully.
Daniel Cooper originated this idea and his most recent video really improves on the process in the most amazing ways.

I got my kit the other day! Happy happy joy joy! 😁
They are saying that they are out of the mold maker that you are using and do not know if it will be back in stock in the USA .Where can we buy it ?
very loveley i will try it 💗💗💗
Just thought of some thing that might help you get some windows putty squeeze in hand until very soft then on a very flat surface like glass with the stencil on it use the plastic applicator spread the putty over mould then put in fridge 😅❤
Ps or use old credit card
I've also found that Vaseline is wonderful for helping clean resin if it gets on your skin. I cannot use resin without getting it all over me, Vaseline is a miracle cleaner.
Interesting video and I'm looking forward to your next Vaseline/stencil one! Also wondering if it would work with regular casting resin.
I'm still getting started with non-uv resin, but if I put acrylic paint in the indentations, and then did a layer over the whole thing of transparent resin that would seal the paint in as well right?
Really cool idea. Definitly needs some tweaking.
First of your videos I have seen. I liked that the Vaseline worked. I haven’t started with any art, really. But, I am drawn to fluid art and resin art. I was just wondering if your Vaseline stencil would work, and transfer the color, if you dusted the stencil with mica powder, or a different resin power?
YES!!! OMG such a kicka** technique! Wish I would've found YOU sooner! ❤
This looks just all kinds of fun!
If you was to mix ink or pigment into the Vaseline would the “embossed” areas pick up the colour?
Hi Steve. Love your work 🎉 Any idea when your tool kit will be available on Amazon? It’s currently unavailable in the UK 😢
What would happen if you used a thick layer of the vaseline and lightly brushed it with mica or chameleon powder and then put it in the refrigerator for an hour?
A strange suggestion, would it possibly work if the vaseline is coloured, I would guess, with mica powders, as an alternative to using the UV resin? just a thought

Can you do a video using Vaseline & resin with a kinder egg ...
Hmmmm, could you use a mica powder mixed with the Vaseline to give your design color? I wonder if that would work...
That’s so awesome Steve your awesome love your experiments and creations ❤I am going to try this so cool 👍 !!!
Brilliant idea Steve. You are very clever
Was thinking how vaseline will take a dry micropowder if applied before the stencil is removed 🤔
Hmmmm!
I was thinking the same. I plan to also try refrigerating before removing the stencil in hopes that this will help clumsy me maintain the crisp lines when I remove the stencil. My next thought was if mixing a bit of corn starch or talc would help stabilize the petroleum jelly and possibly make it easier to apply a light coat of mica powder.
@@fairyspunfibers9098 Yep. My little gray cells are humming away.
I can never find the link for your new pack as I would love one but I also don't know if Australia can receive it?
what is the difference in the viscosity ? Like low and Medium ?
i love the technique
You come up with the coolest ideas, Steve! That turned out great!
Hi Steve Yep Vaseline works well especially after a coffee ☕️ break yeah 😽 good work yeah love K4ttt ❤
I cover the stencil before I put it in the mold. 😁 I don't like getting Vaseline in the wrong places
Beautifully done
Have u ever tried using the damming tape to fix the holes? A tiny piece on the bottom n a tiny piece on the rim 😉
Hi Steve! I just wanted to thank you for making these videos and inspiring so many of us! While watching, I found myself wondering if you could use the Cricut to make stencils from plastic jugs, like laundry soap or distilled water? That way you could keep them longer? I'm not really knowledgeable about Cricuts, so I figured you might know.
The Cricut Explore machines won’t cut thick plastic like milk jugs. You can use them to cut stencils from transparency film, though.
Daniel cooper did this with baby lotion
What a success 😀!
You should probably use black resin I wonder how that would turn out
I love this idea ❤
Those came out really great!
😮😮that's freaking amazing. So cool. Thanks for sharing!!❤
Daniel Cooper uses baby lotion the way you are using the Vaseline.
