Resin Casting Avoiding Bubbles, Without a Pressure Pot.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- This video shows how I cast resin and avoiding bubbles in a resin cast, without a pressure pot and without using layers when casting a larger item. It also looks at how many bubbles it produces without using a pressure pot. Not all of us have a pressure pot for resin, but would still like to cast larger pieces and not have to worry about not being able to see what is inside of the casting because of the bubbles. What is important is that you use the correct resin and not try to use a pouring resin for casting.

Although I often talk about health and safety in my videos, please make sure you do your own research and take the relevant precautions to ensure that you are protecting your health. I am not responsible for anyone using resin and not taking the correct safety precautions. Resin is a chemical and as such should be always treated with respect and the manufacturers safety advice taken.
Hello Steve, fantastic work, loving the videos you've got and the work you create. Could you tell me which resin/polyeurothane you used for this mold? It really did well and not many bubbles. 👍🏻
But how would I put bubbles in the casting ?? Like if I wanted the look of the old Coca-Cola glass bottles or just have floating bubbles
I can't find any info on that
Hi, do you mind telling me which casting resin your using please? I'm wanting to do this very same size mould, and torn between craft resin and resin8 casting resin.
Love your videos. Easy to follow and informative.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos and I find your humor refreshing. Your passion for your creations is obvious, your comments on your work are entertaining. I do appreciate your spontaneity. I fought bubbles in resin for years. I created a paperweight for a butterfly enthusiast that included several dimensional butterflies. I layered the resin pours. In spite of my best efforts I had several tiny air bubbles. I decided to 'embrace the bubbles' - I told the future owner of the piece how challenging it was to incorporate the bits of pollen into the piece. (And now they sell micro-beads to add floating orbs. Go figure!)
This is very nice, and very helpful! ^^
So the main difference between the method shown here and using a pressure pot is curing time?
That looks lovely. Your flower leaf and butterfly look so good! 😘❤️🌹
Thanks for filming this. What did you spray on this from off camera please? And what sort of heat gun did you use please?
I am very new to using resin you're videos are great thank you so much for sharing, I have looked but can't find a link to the resin you used on this project x
How did you know how much resin to make for the cube? :) x
Superb Steve 😊
Question, i don't get bubbles in my resin but the moment I pour into the square mold it starts to form small bubbles on the square mold walls. Do u know why this happens? And how can I prevent it from happening again
What is better to use a pressure pot or a vacuum pot? Can you use a compound to polish the leaf and butterfly before putting it in the mold or will that affect the curing of the resin?
Does ya Mam know you're using her washing up cloths? ;) Looks lovely, well done :D
How can you tell the difference between a casting resin and a pouring resin? Just by how long the pot time is? Also, the original piece would have made a lovely hairclip.
Hi
If I want put a photo inside what paper I use or a simple photo paper work??
Does us resin have any fumes?
What size is that cube mold
I think the micro bubbles add a glittery effect. Very nice paperweight!! What resin did you use on this project?
Hi which resin did you use for this? Can you pour all resins into a mould that size in one go or do some need to be done layer by layer ? Thanks
Steve McDonald Arts and Crafts that’s great thanks, I was also wondering if I could put fresh flowers or petals in the resin or do they have to be dried first?
I love that and I need to add that mold to my list..lol
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts Hi Steve I will definitely check it out it look like it is versatile I finally received order of moulds from Aliexpress I ordered in Nov..lol
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts LOL me too and Im waiting for some nesting dies from Wish.com but some stores on either of them do better business than others.
Very Lovely 😁👏🏽👏🏽💯
Love it!
What resin did you use?
I would have found a couple little pebbles to put underneath it to displace resin volume
Love you Steve
Thankyou for sharing
If you'd put the flowers in the other way round then the top of the paper weight would have been the decent cast face, the uneven face would be at the bottom.
With the steps you showed I find it hard to believe it came out this clear. Seems a lot of steps weren’t mentioned... like maybe warming the resin before pouring...idk. Seems hard to believe sorry.
So did you ever get a pressure pot?
hi steve new member sorry it's not related to your video but can you send me your Facebook like please thanks sandy ps love your work x
