In the semi-side shots the layer lines are clearly visible. I have found that this is caused by allowing the layer to fully cure. If you pour when you can still leave a fingerprint the layer lines are MUCH less visible
I àm starting to use deep pour resin. I am making a fish diorama. When will the resin be thick enough to insert fish? Can I do a deep pour and insert fish at different levels? I dont want layer lines. How to tell when to pour a second layer on deep pour. I do use resin for river boards but I have never done dioramas before
I and just learning about problems with casting deep pour in layers. My first project is showing a very obvious line. I will experiment with sanding the line and maybe brush on epoxy over the line. Next project I will try the method you said above to control the layer line. Lines are more of a problem than bubbles to me.
Great video! You covered things which other creators have never covered I truly appreciate all of the information. I will definitely be watching you again. Thank you so much.
Thanks for saying Jerri.
So pretty!! Don't forget to dry your flowers first!! Any moisture will ruin your masterpiece!!!
Turned out beautiful
Beautiful
Hi such a beautiful block, great work, thanks for sharing 😍 ❤️ xx
That's just beautiful!
beautiful
I really like the result. I'd like to try this.
Beautiful 😍
Stunning
Just would like to find out after your first layer of Resin do you put the flowers in immediately or wait until its dry and then start putting in the flowers?
Wow gr8 job ❤
Do you prefer real, dried flowers? or artificial? If artificial, what should they be made of for the best results?
Nice if you are able to recommend the flowers after treatment to purchase too. I want to do a similar one like yours, but limited options to buying such flpwers online.
Amazing results with the right mold + deep pour epoxy! Your selection & placement of objects appeared very good (esp after the reveal). Q: can you (or did you) use real flowers with this process?
Thanks for the insight.
Preciosos trabajos me gustaria saber q resina usas si muy líquida o muy espesa
What process do you use for drying your flowers???
How much liquid do use for each A and B product for this mold
Wouldn't it be better to place tape on sides starting from the bottom up so if it does drip down the sides it won't get in between the layers?
Is there anything I can do for small bubbles at the top? Can I sand and then apply clear coat?
Did you dry the flowers first?
It looks amazing...
I have tried to preserve flowers in adeep cast too, however my stuff kind of all just bubbled up to the top even higher than the mold :( any suggestions why?
Even with a deep cast mold it's typically something you might want to do in 2 or 3 layers. If you have bubbling its either too much air in the epoxy (and it needs degassed first) or it got too hot. Which means it was poured too deep all at once for what the epoxy can handle.
How can you fix those later lines? They are visible and that would bother me as a customer. Is there a way to maybe sand them down or will they always be visible?
It’s because she let the resin fully cure before pouring the next layer. You cant sand that out, its there for good. If you dont let the resin fully cure and pour the next layer when its still tacky this doesnt happen.
@@mountedbuterfly Well, now you tell me!🤪
How much did you mix up at a time?
What brand top coat did you use
Could you recommend glue?
What size mold did you use?
Thanks for the great vid!
I'm going to have a go at doing this with flowers from my wedding!
Is the sanding and top coat necessary every time? Why is the final layer not good enough?
It depends on how it comes out of the mold, if its perfectly clear, no bubbles on the outer sides etc, then you could likely make due. Sanding and top coating levels it out, takes off the meniscus (raised area around the edge of the mold from surface tension). Once you sand, you either need to sand to 3000 grit, polish and leave it... Or cheat, and sand to 120 grit then flood coat.
@@CraftedElements thanks so much!! That's a great help! I'll try and find some top coat here in Australia!
Also, is a heat gun absolutely necessary to remove the bubbles?
@@Em-qn8cl Heat gun or torch, I guess a high power hair dryer may work?
@@CraftedElements i did wonder about a hair dryer... but i envisioned resin getting blown out everywhere!! 😂
@@CraftedElementsdo you have any tips for a first timer with a sanding machine?
Have you ever made a block like this and included a photo? Any tips?
You can seal them with a laminator to help prevent any damage to the photo (:
Why does it have to be done in layers? Im completely new so im wondering why you cant just pour all the resin over the flowers after the first layer is done?
Because when resin is deep it creates heat due to a chemical reaction its called flash cure if you look up some videos you will see really great examples, tests and far better explanations than my little comment here. Essentially it cures far too hot far too quickly and will be filled with bubles, will be wavy and often bendy or never fully cure at all. So in order to prevent this you need to do thin layers built on top of each other. Hope that kind of explains it.

what is a table top coat? How is it different?
This video should help -> ruclips.net/video/cnPqCcI8hE0/видео.html
i hear you need to dry the flowers out or they will eventually rot
Why not use a UV Resin ? Im beginner 😅
UV resin is only for very shallow things it would never be able to cure anything as deep as this or even a few inches deep
What epoxy brand you use?
I believe she is using "Superclear" in this video.
I take it the flowers are the fake/silk kind you can get a craft stores? Or are the flowers real?
@@seangross5663 Those are real. They are dried before using in the resin.
Is resin and epoxy the same thing ?
@@palomat7529 Sort of... There are multiple types of resins technically, but for all intents and purposes with our videos resin and epoxy are interchangeable.
