Thank you so much for the tutorial. I had been struggling with resin m work and had to scrap a lot of my work because of it. I followed your instructions and for the first time I got the results I wanted. Thanks so much.........a fan!
Thank you. That was really useful. I was having a problem resining translucent clay and I think my issue was not enough resin. I tried one after watching your video and it worked fine. On to the rest!
Another great video. I should've watched this one first! 😁 You have a great video presence and teaching style, and I think you come across as a natural on You Tube. I've watched a lot of poly clay videos and avidly follow a few You Tubers; I shall be adding your channel to my list of faves. More gorgeous beads and lots of techniques there; I'd love to know how you did them. Thanks again for all the useful tips!! 🤗😊
Hi Katie. I'm somewhat new to resins, both UV and the standard 2 part epoxy. I tried the Limino brand UV resin but it left an oily residue, but then I tried the DecorRom and it works perfectly and cured to a nice smooth hard finish, so thank you for the recommendation. I love how your tutorials are down to earth. You "tell it like it is", and I really appreciate and respect you for that. Keep up the great work.
I'm a new member of your group! after seeing your survey post about someone critique of your video I had to check you out for myself I love the tone of your voice and for me i have only started just conditioning and practice getting the thickness and shapes.. I need a real time video I find that you give many experiences along the way so hope I can learn by your example
Thank you so very much, Ms. Katie, for your wonderful tutorials demonstrating polymer clay craft techniques! I just love all your videos! I am reasonably new to polymer clay! I used to try to do beads in the 1990's but was less than thrilled back then because I did not have the advantage of having a computer with You-Tube and all the current tutorials! I never knew back then what people did to polish or buff the clay pieces, and I bought a clay fish pin that was very exquisite where one of the tail fins on the piece cracked off. I was so frustrated that I gave up, thinking that all polymer clay for any jewelry would easily crack or break! Hopefully, by using a better polymer clay than Sculpey II or III and cooking the pieces longer will help eliminate the chances of that happening now! I am hoping that, almost 25 years after that earlier experience, the quality of clay and the techniques used have evolved to be better over the meantime. I used to make some unpolished beads to use with some mixed media macramé arts and crafts on a small scale despairing that jewelry with polymer would never work for me. I am so thankful that you and others have taken their personal expense and time to so very patiently teach people like me, who am not a talented fine artist, to succeed in making gifts for others and for my own personal use! I would like to wish you a truly awesome Valentine's Day 2023 and hope you will be happy and well for Spring and Summer of 2023 !!! 🤩💓💜🐢🦀🌈🌟
I swear, RUclips is a gift straight from God. I also learned a lot of pc techniques on Facebook, and Pinterest. But this is a new technique for me. Very interesting!!!
This is priceless information. I have about 10 bottle of up resin and each time I use it, I screw it up. I’m writing as I’m listening. Yes, I get the warp and it always ends up dripping down the sides. So frustrating. I’ll try the tape. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Solid it's the green one I made a tutorial using purple on the translucent side but the other side is the watercolor technique which various artist have videos on
Thanks for the tutorial, it’s much needed. Sometimes the resin pours over the edge of my pendants and inevitably messes up the bottom of it. (I’m guessing I might be using too much resin at a time. What can I do to avoid this from happening? I’d also like to know what is the best mat to left the pendant on so, if it the resin runs it won’t go under the pendant. Thanks so much….
I needed this vid so bad🙌 I just started making polymer clay jewelry and it’s a lot of fun. Do you have a video on polishing!? Because idk why but after sanding down the resin edges I can’t seem to get it to really shine again when polishing. Which which sucks because I’m also no where near good enough to make anything without needing to sand something off. Part of that I just learned from your vid is because of the mat I use when curing. It is totally flat and creates flat patched on the bottoms whatever I’m working on, so I just went to Amazon and found the type of mat you mentioned which is so much better
No I use the torch so it's rare when I get large bubbles I would say keep the layers thin and if u have a bubble just do another thin coat try that first
Great tutorial. Thank you! Do you finish the sides of your pendant with anything or do you just resin the top and not do anything to the sides and back? Thx 😊
Do you think this method would work for pieces made with air dry type clay? I've been using the liquid stuff and often get ripples and, of course, bubbles, but they are tiny. Thanks Katie!
How long have you been using this decorom product? Have you been able to keep pieces and look at them a year + later? I'm wondering if these yellow over time?
I also use Decor Rom and I cure it in the right time and if I start touching the charm way too often, it starts getting matte and greasy and even when I clean it, it doesn't get as shiny as when it comes just out of th uv light. What could I do? :(
YES!! You should ALWAYS wear gloves, have a respirator that is used for vapors/gas fumes, and be in a well-ventilated area. Most resin states it's non-toxic but it's a chemical reaction so it gives off fumes.
I did it in a few of my videos at the end of course when I was doing the resin. I believe the one I used the ablone shells and the one I did the alcohol inks and stamps it hasa pink pendant in the pic w dandelions on it or the blue w a seahorse
I purchased a hildie & Jo resin craft curing lamp before watching your video and I'm not certain I purchased the correct one. It says it's 36W UV. Is that sufficient enough? I love your work!
hi Katie! i use the same uv resin for my polymer clay rings and i cured them for more than 10 min with a 36w uv lamp but they still sticky! do u recommend to buy a lamp with a higher wattage? or this one would work fine? thank you so much for your video and sorry if i made some mistakes, i’m spanish 💖
If its ever not hard like u could indent it w your finger nail its not cured all they way. Also I have a newer updated resin video I think its the same title just updated how I resin polymer clay
I cure for a long time w the tiny pandora one. The outside will always have the smear layer I've talked about in videos but if it's fully sticky then maybe bad resin try curing longer first
I have watched many artists use a torch gun on resin. I understand that it is highly flammable. Have you ever had one light up? What advice would you give to beginners about it? Thank you for all of your sharing.😊🌈👍🌼🌺
amazing work !! question. I just bought the 500g decorom resin, i have a 54w uv led lamp and the rising keeps been sticky almost like it docent cure.. Any suggestions?
Do these resins have bad odor? I heard in review for generic uv resin has terrible smell. In India we don't have many such options available..any alternatives if there can be?
In the dental office we use so many chemicals and acrylics like the nail salon which are strong so compaird to that no. The rj crafts one has the least smell of these I showed but the cheaper decor rom does not bother me at all not like I have to open a window or anything but I also dont mind the smell of Kato and some people really do
Beautiful!! I stopped making clay items because I could never get the same results with my items i made. I use premo clay i bake it on a tile with heavy foil covering the clay i bake it at 275 for an hour. My pieces are always brittle with no bend or flexibility to them they break very easily. I’m not making the item super thin. Ive tried baking them a little longer or a little less time. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong?? I’ve seen a tun of videos where they make very delicate clay pieces and the have a tun of flexibility. Mine would just break. Also the clay i was using was new?????? It you have any advise i would love to hear it.. but i would think that the resin would help a lot! But i really do want to know what I’m doing wrong.
Honestly it sounds like what sculpy III did to me not sculpy premo. The only other things I would say get a in oven thermometer because what your dile may say may not be what the oven is doing inside. I always bake for an hr or more I can do things super thin w premo and they are bendy make sure also u condition your clay super well to make sure all of the particles are equally mixed those r the things I can say
Katie Gordon hi!! I wanted to thank you sooooo much!!!!!!!!! I got an oven thermometer and discovered that my ovens temp is all over place! So i got a toaster oven and used the thermometer to set the temp just right and baked a piece of premo that i rolled out paper thin to see how good it would do! My piece of clay is perfect!!!!! It’s very pliable like plastic! It’s perfect!! Thank you soooo much!! Im so excited to play with my clay again!!
Hi Again, this my question about UV Resin DecorRom: It’s a 4 x 3 in. Pendant I make. When I resined it with 3 coats And curing it under us light it can out sticky.
3 coats I only do one hum why did u do 3. Also make sure ur light is the correct watts 36 or higher also cure for about 30 min for a 2 to4 min resin if it's a 30 min resin I do 60 min it's like baking the clay for 60 min even tho it says 30 min also watch my newer resin video. Maybe will help.
I watched a video about the warping using UV resin and she claims if you hold your light about a foot or two above the piece and gradually get it closer to the piece it won’t warp ? Have you tried this yet?
After It well drill through resin but if you drill a hole in polymer clay before you resin the resin will poar through the hole so drill after the resin
Thank you so much for your handy tips on uv resin. My clay pieces have wrapped as well and I couldn't figure out what went wrong. These have been my very first pieces I've done and are way too thin. What's a good thickness for pendants and earrings??
That's a baking mat. It's called a pyramid mat...and it's upside down! The pyramids should be face up, so you can use it as a doming mat. It's much easier to pick off spilled resin, as well.
I've tried it the other way and when it spills the other way I get lines where the resin sits when I just have my pendant sitting on the points and I do get a spill it does not travel along the lines into the holes so I get less covering the back. I think on my Amazon where I have this they named it as something else. But as always just my personal preference to use the mat in that direction after trying it both ways, people can def do it the proper way if they prefer
In this video “How I I’ve resin” at 7:08 you show a pendant with shiny pink. I think I have watched all tutorials up to here and I did not see one for that shiny pink technique. I have not yet watched all subsequent ones. Anyway wondering how you did that one?
I did it in one of my last pendant tutorials maybe the one with the ablone chips but I'm not sure if that is the one or not I usually do the top then the sides just being careful not to touch the top but do what u prefer
Хобби
For those who literally just wanna watch her apply the resin 8:41
Thank you Katie! Your pieces are always so gorgeous!
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I had been struggling with resin m work and had to scrap a lot of my work because of it. I followed your instructions and for the first time I got the results I wanted. Thanks so much.........a fan!

Thanks for a helpful and clear video! Beautiful work!
Thank you. That was really useful. I was having a problem resining translucent clay and I think my issue was not enough resin. I tried one after watching your video and it worked fine. On to the rest!
Thank you the silicone drip mat idea, helped me. A very frustrating problem are large puddles under my cabochons.
Your work is beautiful. Very helpful video. Thanks!
Katie...I love your stuff.
I love your tutorial and find your voice to be very clear and easy to listen to for all you tutorials. I also have a question about UV resin DecorRom

Thank you so much for your help. The stickiness went away the next day. No more 3 coats for sure.

Thank for you help with uv resin over polymer clay. Will purchase Decor Rom and give it a try . Thanks again for sharing.
Meu Deus...como eu ia amar,se tivesse a opção tradução 😉...amei sua vídeo aula. Gratidão 🥰🌹
Thank you for sharing this!
this was a very well done tutorial and very helpful to me. Thank you
I find the uv flashlight very helpful as well.
Beautiful thank you Katie
15:38 Geez!! That is gorgeous!!
Solid it's the green one I made a tutorial using purple on the translucent side but the other side is the watercolor technique which various artist have videos on
Thank you for this. So for the sides of your pieces... the resin just sort of drips down onto the sides? Or do you do something special to the sides?
Thanks for the tutorial, it’s much needed. Sometimes the resin pours over the edge of my pendants and inevitably messes up the bottom of it. (I’m guessing I might be using too much resin at a time. What can I do to avoid this from happening? I’d also like to know what is the best mat to left the pendant on so, if it the resin runs it won’t go under the pendant. Thanks so much….
Beautiful work , do you seal your paint before you put on the resin
Thank you Katie! xx
Excellent Thanks.
When you dome both sides is it going to pull up each time?
What wattage is best for a UV light? I currently have an LED version for nail gels, but have no idea what power it is.
Do you sand and buff before using resin on your pieces?
Thank You 🙏
Hi Katie, I loved your video! Best one of I’ve seen, thank you! One question, is the torch mandatory?
Nothing is.ever mandatory if u have another way of popping the bubbles fibe it a try
I needed this vid so bad🙌 I just started making polymer clay jewelry and it’s a lot of fun. Do you have a video on polishing!? Because idk why but after sanding down the resin edges I can’t seem to get it to really shine again when polishing. Which which sucks because I’m also no where near good enough to make anything without needing to sand something off. Part of that I just learned from your vid is because of the mat I use when curing. It is totally flat and creates flat patched on the bottoms whatever I’m working on, so I just went to Amazon and found the type of mat you mentioned which is so much better
I have a good amount of videos but I tried not to polish the resin if u have to then the best way is doing another thin coat of resin.
Do you put resin on both sides with jewelry?
Best tutorial yet
I believe I did an updated one as well with other resins and stuff
Katie Gordon do you have a tutorial on fixing bubbles after it’s cured?
No I use the torch so it's rare when I get large bubbles I would say keep the layers thin and if u have a bubble just do another thin coat try that first
The one that looks like a stain glass is awesome how do you make that one
What about combating shrinkage with uv resin?
Do you have to resin the back?
Great tutorial. Thank you! Do you finish the sides of your pendant with anything or do you just resin the top and not do anything to the sides and back? Thx 😊
Depends usually just the top unless I need to seal something I usually show u guys if I did in my pendant videos
Katie Gordon Thank you 💗
Ok so I need a torch for any uv resin? Because they don't mention that on Amazon.
What about the sides? Do you resin them?
Do you think this method would work for pieces made with air dry type clay? I've been using the liquid stuff and often get ripples and, of course, bubbles, but they are tiny. Thanks Katie!
Not sure never used air dry clay u could try a small tester and see
How come the mat is different in the light than you put the resin on please
Hi Katie! Great resin video... thanx sooo much. Can you do a foil or foil flakes with clay video, please? Thanx! 👍🥰😉
I have used foil and flakes In a few videos
it is waterproof?
How long have you been using this decorom product? Have you been able to keep pieces and look at them a year + later? I'm wondering if these yellow over time?
Its been a yr or so since I've been using it id say n no issues yet or I have not seen a change yet
Do I have to use a torch? I have a heat gun.
I also use Decor Rom and I cure it in the right time and if I start touching the charm way too often, it starts getting matte and greasy and even when I clean it, it doesn't get as shiny as when it comes just out of th uv light. What could I do? :(
Um I cure the decor rom 30 min. In the same mindset that we bake clay for 60 min even though it says 30. See my updated uv resin video
Do you have a tutorial for the stained glass!looking earring/pendant?
Which one they all kinda look like that I'd just check out under my video tab and see if u see what one u r looking for
Do you typically resin the whole pendant, or just the front?
Most time just the front I have a few videos o did the sides but for specific reasons
I was just wondering how long to leave my piece in the UV light for compleat cure so this was very helpful. Thank you
I did an update video of this w more resins but 30 min for a 2 to 4 min resin and 60 min for a 30 min resin is what I do
What is the wattage of your UV light, please
Do you need to wear any protective mask like a gas mask? I heard some resin is toxic
YES!! You should ALWAYS wear gloves, have a respirator that is used for vapors/gas fumes, and be in a well-ventilated area. Most resin states it's non-toxic but it's a chemical reaction so it gives off fumes.
Great tutorial! does the fisheye problem ever accord with uv resin? how do you prevent it? thanks
Not sure what u mean fish eye problem
use double sided tape?
If you have a thicker piece, can you resin the sides? If so, how would you go about doing that?
I did it in a few of my videos at the end of course when I was doing the resin. I believe the one I used the ablone shells and the one I did the alcohol inks and stamps it hasa pink pendant in the pic w dandelions on it or the blue w a seahorse
I purchased a hildie & Jo resin craft curing lamp before watching your video and I'm not certain I purchased the correct one. It says it's 36W UV. Is that sufficient enough?
I love your work!
Should be enough watts
hi Katie! i use the same uv resin for my polymer clay rings and i cured them for more than 10 min with a 36w uv lamp but they still sticky! do u recommend to buy a lamp with a higher wattage? or this one would work fine?
thank you so much for your video and sorry if i made some mistakes, i’m spanish 💖
Longer curing I do 30 min for 2 to 4 min resin n 60 min for 30 min resin same idea as baking for an hour tho they only say 30 min
If its ever not hard like u could indent it w your finger nail its not cured all they way. Also I have a newer updated resin video I think its the same title just updated how I resin polymer clay
Don’t you have to wipe with %90 or greater alcohol after resin to wipe that sticky layer off?
I cure for a long time w the tiny pandora one. The outside will always have the smear layer I've talked about in videos but if it's fully sticky then maybe bad resin try curing longer first
do you find that a heat gun helps with the bubbles as well ?
Haven't used it but give it a try i just use the flame which is how I learned
I have watched many artists use a torch gun on resin. I understand that it is highly flammable. Have you ever had one light up? What advice would you give to beginners about it? Thank you for all of your sharing.😊🌈👍🌼🌺
Nope. And ur nor baking anything just giving warmth
How do you resin the sides? Or do you ? Love your work.
I have in a few but not often I explain why in these
ruclips.net/video/uIJb1fYoKJ8/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/_ijgd22Ness/видео.html
If you add mica powder or eye shadow, can you still use the resin?? Will it stick?? Thanks
Has for me u could always do a test run do a really small one then resin it to see if everything was good
Can you use a flashlight type thing with that resin? I've never used resin yet and just did my first pendant. Thank you
I'm sure if u use a quick cure I wouldn't want to hold a flashlight for 30 min tho lol
@@katiegordon610 oh I didn't think of that lol.
amazing work !!
question. I just bought the 500g decorom resin, i have a 54w uv led lamp and the rising keeps been sticky almost like it docent cure.. Any suggestions?
Cure it longer i do 30 min for a 2 to 4 min and 60 min for a 30 min resin on the same premise where we bake clay for an hr even though it says 30 min

Hi Again, this my question about UV Resin DecorRom: It’s a 4 x 3 in. Pendant I make. When I resined it with 3 coats And curing it under us light it can out sticky.
Again computer messing me up here. What can I do to get the stick off my piece. Thank-you
3 coats I only do one hum why did u do 3. Also make sure ur light is the correct watts 36 or higher also cure for about 30 min for a 2 to4 min resin if it's a 30 min resin I do 60 min it's like baking the clay for 60 min even tho it says 30 min also watch my newer resin video. Maybe will help.
If it's the uncured inhibition layer which I dont get with this brand but other brands do u just wipe it off w regular alcohol.
I watched a video about the warping using UV resin and she claims if you hold your light about a foot or two above the piece and gradually get it closer to the piece it won’t warp ? Have you tried this yet?
Nope
Katie do you drill your holes before or after using the resin? Will the hand drill go through resin?
After It well drill through resin but if you drill a hole in polymer clay before you resin the resin will poar through the hole so drill after the resin
@@katiegordon610 thanks Katie. Does your hand drill do the job or do you use a power drill?
Hand not too hard I've showed it on some
Actually quite a few videos at the end after I resin
Thanks , I can finally finish a birthday present 😁
I do have an update video on this
Thank you so much for your handy tips on uv resin. My clay pieces have wrapped as well and I couldn't figure out what went wrong. These have been my very first pieces I've done and are way too thin. What's a good thickness for pendants and earrings??
It's hard to say but a couple of mm or try a different resin
What is the brand of the resin that you used in this video? I’m partially deaf & could not make out the name when you said it. TIA
Nvm, I found it on Amazon.
Katie, do you have to use the heat gun?
I think people use other things but that's what I use
I guess I meant, is heating it necessary before putting it under the uv light?
after curing does it feel sticky to touch?
No
That's a baking mat. It's called a pyramid mat...and it's upside down!
The pyramids should be face up, so you can use it as a doming mat.
It's much easier to pick off spilled resin, as well.
The tips are great though - really helpful. Thank you! 😊
I've tried it the other way and when it spills the other way I get lines where the resin sits when I just have my pendant sitting on the points and I do get a spill it does not travel along the lines into the holes so I get less covering the back.

@@katiegordon610 Thank you. I really appreciate your input. :) Thank you for all you do. :)
Poly bonder isn't available any longer
I use to use that resin, but it yellows over time
So far it's been almost 3 to 4 years on some and I've not seen any yellowing
I don’t feel comfortable working with a torch and flame.
