I'm actually surprised that with that pink mold that you were able to get it to come out as well as it did since with most UV resin you have to use a clear mold so that's pretty impressive.
I feel like Moss for IT crowd just gave me a tutorial. You sound identical. Thank you for sharing this information!
I wish I could get small bottles of all of them in a kit!
Amazing idea!!!
I was just thinking that.
That would be awesome ❤️🇦🇺
Ditto it would make everything a lot easier.
Especially if it comes with a little guide to tell you what each one is best for.
Actually we need it in a kit.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
I wanted to just comment and say you're hands down my favorite RUclips resin creator. I met another lady who does resin at an event and we bonded a bit over our love of your channel!!
I absolutely love all your videos! I did notice your UV light's got an exposed wire right at the base of the light. I wasn't sure if you were aware of it. 😁
Thanks for this! I ordered the 3 bottle box of the high viscosity after you said that it was thicker! LOVE IT! I use it to dome my resin and acrylic keychains after adding vinyl. Works a treat!
Thank you for taking the time to explain and show us the differences and uses for these. I’ve always been confused about the need to buy different types but now realise I really need the high viscosity for doming jewellery- I’ve ruined so many pieces in the past because I kept making a mess of it. This will definitely help in future 😊
So this is why whenever I try to dome, it runs all over! So glad I watched this. I guess I've been using the new formula for everything...only been doing this for about a month. Thanks so much!
I only love youre chanel steve
You always give step by step talks on everything you do
annoying on.some tutorials
They don't even talk to you
Hi 👋🏻, I absolutely love your channel. I noticed your electrical wires seem to be sticking out of your light. Please check it so you don’t get shocked. Thanks for all the information you share.
I love your video’s! You have a natural cheerful voice and I watch at the end of my rough days! You cheer me right up. Thank you for the positivity you project. Have a blessed day.
I am buying every single one as have the classic but the low and high viscosity looks amazing
so i watch all your videos and I don't remember your ring video...I just scrolled through and I can't find it. I can't believe I missed it!
He said he'll do that ring video later, hasn't done it yet is what I thought he said.
Hi, Steve! I've been watching your channel for a couple months now. You are so inspiring and always brighten my day. I love how you show your less successful experiments as well as the hits...you make it easier for me to make my "3D sketches," as I call them. :) Anyway, thanks so much for being you, and if you ever come out to Chicago, I'd love to grab a bev and talk art!
Steve, thank you for all the testing you do and your videos. I learn so much from you. I can't wait to try these. Wish they had a kit where you could buy all them.
We will consider to add this kit to the market!
So so helpful. Thank you for this Steve 🤓
This is invaluable info! I just purchased some of the high viscosity UV resin…but was confused about the other versions. Thank you!
⭐️⭐️⭐️HEY!! BUDGET FRIENDLY IDEA!!⭐️⭐️⭐️
If anyone else has a small budget like me, when I want a holographic background in my work, I bought a cheap holo party table cover (table cloth?) and have used it for the background of my pop socket phone grips and cutting up little pieces for holo chunky glitter! It works AMAZING, and you get a huge piece for under $5.00 that will last forever! I haven’t tried it with epoxy resin yet, but it works great with my UV resin! And if you want other colors of chunky glitter, just get another color of table cloth from the party decoration section!
HAVE FUN STAYING CRAFTY ON A BUDGET!
🌸✌🏼😊
So helpful. Thank you.
Thank you! That was very helpful. I wasn't sure what the differences were between them all.
I have used the original and a soft resin, now I have to try out the high viscosity. I think I need a package with all of them. 😆
Steve, thank you for this video. I'm new to resining & I didn't know there is different kinds of resin. Also you proved other info wrong. The articles I read about UV resin said it can only be used in a clear, the white kind, silicone molds. Then you make a flower in the solid color mold using the UV resin. Thank you!
Need to collect all of these right tool for each job, thanks Steve x
Thanx for the great information! I love it when you just try anything. 💃🏼💃🏼
Thank you! I needed this demonstration!
Thank you Steve. I was told the molds for UV had to be clear.
Great video.
I just had to say that my grandkids say 👋. They say you are that funny guy who always asks for coffee.
Many blessings
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts Anyone's cool that calls himself a nincompoop! LOL
Very interesting and informative! I appreciate that you take the time to explain these to us! Thank you Steve 😊!!!
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I love what you do too!
Thank you so kindly Steve. Wonderful video explaining the different types.
I absolutely love your channel and all of your videos. You are my go to for everything Resin. Thank you so much!! I'd love to see your video on how you made the rings you showed but I can't find it.
Great info. I’m still having curing issues. I just got a new lamp hoping that solves the problem. I do these things right along with you and don’t get a cure. Thank you for all that you do !!
Thanks so much for explaining the different UV resins. So useful. 😁
Thank you this was VERY helpful as I'm working on my very FIRST resin project.
Thanks so much for this Steve, I too was confused. Very informative.
Thank you for sharing this, I'm going to get the three new ones.
Really helpful video Steve, thanks
Great info! This was very helpful. Thank you for all you do.❤
Very useful! I’m just starting and this was very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Just ordered the LV and the HV resins I also ordered the Jdiction and Steve Mcdonald bundle. I can't wait to get everything
Thanks Steve ❤
Usefull. Thank u
Great information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🤗
This was unbelievably helpful!! I've been having the hardest time when buying jdiction resin picking which one and it's not clearly explained on the website. You literally answered all the questions I had and appreciate you so very much!!!!
Thanks for the information!! I learn so much from you!!
great stuff. I've got the high viscosity one since I saw you showing it off. it's really great for doming.
Thanks, Steve. That was some great information. Very helpful
That was really helpful information. Thanks!
Wow great info I had zero clue! You're always so helpful thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you I’ve learned such a lot today 😊
Buenísimo, cuánto hay que introducir la mecha? Gracias.
Thanks so much for making this video. Now I understand
Thank you for another fab video, didn't know there was different UV resins!
Great video. 👍🏽 Thanks 👏🏽
Great video! I was wondering about the different forms of UV resin. Love the smileys!
Wow, I am so glad to have this clarified for me, ty. Plus check the wire on you up lamp, it is looking a bit dangerous!
Am I the only one who wants to reach through & grab his LED light to give it a scrub down with the alcohol ❣️
Awesome Video steve McDonald
Won't use any other UV Resin than JDiction, the smell is so much lower than others, and the jewelry pieces come out so clear and wonderful. Thank you for explaining these, because I am about in need of new bottles and with my new studio, I have plans for things to spruce it up as well
Their original formula does not have much of a smell, but I recently tested out the low viscosity formula and it indeed does have a smell to it that is different than their original, and also it was not as low viscosity as I would have thought... it was more of a medium viscosity... I also experienced a bit of yellowing after a two-minute cure on a test piece which went into my window and was significantly more yellow after only 30 days... I have test pieces from my resin that I typically use that is a year old now and still crystal clear, so I wasn't significantly happy with J dictions low viscosity formula it seems the formulation is different somehow.
i agree with you on the jdiction.....only one i will use also...always clear...never sticky...
Hi Steve,
Would you Please put up the link for your ring video.
I'm sorry, I can't seem to find it. But then sometimes something will be right in front of me & I don't see it. LOL
Thank you so much for sharing. I was confused on these resins. So, now I know, you do a wonderful job at teaching. I know because I've learned a lot from watching you. Thank you again.
Low viscosity resin ... I had no idea. Thanks!
Thank you for this video.
It gives such great information and I would imagine there are different price points.
Love that high viscosity for doming. Have a thing for doming.
You came across my resin channels today! I have the same little UV light. They're cheap, get a new one before you hurt yourself lol jk. Question, I've been doing resin for 2 years on and off to start a small business and compile enough for a start up. No matter what mold I use, the resin is foggy on the underside (mold side) and I haven't gotten the right buffing tool yet for polishing. I really don't want to blame it on the resin as I'm using a super spendy one (not promoting but you can find it by initials TB) and follow another channel who never seems to have any problems with it. I stir it enough, cure it the right amount, not too hot or cold, no bubbles. 😭
New subscriber here. 😊
Great info! Love from NB Canada!
My friend you have your high/low viscosity qualities mixed up... something with high viscosity will not have much flow resistance and will run like water. For something with intricate details you should use a high viscosity because it will more easily flow into smaller areas thanks to its low density and lack of surface tension. Something with a low viscosity will be highly resistant to flowing and will run with a syrup-like consistency. Try making a dome with the low-V resin and you will surely see 😅
I'm new to resin and originally wanted it to dome my cricut projects. I have the original formula and wondered why it was flat and not doming like others I see. Never knew there was different viscosities.
The viscosity is different, and the high viscosity is more suitable for doming projects. The classic is medium viscosity, general purpose.
I tried several UV resins but did NOT like them. You convinced me to try the JDiction and I am absolutely sold. Thank you for encouraging and educating me.
I love your channel Steve
I live in New zealand,where resin is really expensive
Amazon charges import tax,which makes it even more expensive.
JD seems a great brand!
I love resin work but is it is so expensive here,my interest is wanning
I do enjoy your channel though,you are so down to earth and easy to follow
Thank you!
Really want the high viscosity one I dome everything x
Thank you for showing this. I didn't even realize that they had so many UV resins. I just got some labeled "ECO" from Amazon and I'm loving it. It is the lowest odor UV resin I've tried, and it cures so fast and hard! But it's a little thin, so I will look for the high viscosity one, too.
The "ECO" must be the same as the "New Formula" one you showed. I have a sensitivity too, and I can use this one in very small amount with just the exhaust vent!
I have GOT to get some of these low and high viscosity resins from JDiction! It's the only UV resin I use, anyway.
Doming can be such a chore when it insists on running over the edge no matter the care taken - ugh! I've ruined SO many pieces that way. 😥
Thanks so much for the demo, Steve! 😊💕
Thanks Steve, as usual a really informative video. This has helped me a lot as I am new to UV resin (I usually use Jesmonite and Resincrete and I am starting projects using both resin and eco pours) Keep up the awesome work x
Oh Steve, I stopped following you from guilt as I had to stop being a supporter. But my my, I've resubscribe as you're just fab. ❤
JDiction UV resin is the ONLY one I’ll use x
Where is the ring video. Love all your videos
Thank you so much for explaining the difference. Wish they came in a group of one of each but for now will get them separate. I wanted the emoji sequins as well but when you click on the link that is not what's coming up. Is it another link for those? Thank you
Thank you Steve. Always fun to watch your videos. I’ve Seyed away from UV resin because all the ones I’ve tried give off an odor. Is there one that you recommend that has a low odor?
I have just started this craft and I’m finding it great but I made a coaster holder and I have a little sticky patch is there anything I can do about it or is it not a fix
Have you tried the jdiction uv eco one yet ?
Thank you for this comparison, just stepping into the world of UV Resin and this is very helpful. One question, and it may not have been an option when you made this, but where does the High Gloss UV Resin by JDiction fall in or which of these is it most like? I ordered it as the New Formula would not be delivered until December.
Hello Steve, I love your channel and talent. I have learned a lot from you! But I noticed that you curing lamp has exposed wires where the electrical plug goes into the lamp. I would advise you to wrap that with black electrical tape, or it might spark and cause a shock or fire, a small one, but either wrap or replace.
Keep up the great work!!!
Hiya Steve, very informative video, thanks! Did I miss the link to make the rings? I love being a channel member and am really looking forward to the exclusive tutorial on alcohol inks coming up.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts looking forward to the ring video!
I've got a quick question for you about using paint brushes with resin. Do you have to bin them once you've used them? Or is there a way of cleaning the resin off them? Love your videos btw 👍
Hi Raquel from Puerto Rico where can I buy the resins I am a beginner which should i try first i would like to make jewelry i do make wire jewelry also the rings you said to go to the video can you please tell me where to see it thank you i think you are great I like how you explain things once again thank you for sharing
Hi Steve. Firstly love all your videos. My question is where can I buy the golf leaf foil glue that u use? Do you sell it.
Was looking for some advice, and if my art project gives you idea's for content or things to sale, fantastic.
I was using one of those square something like 8 inches, where i do art projects, its not safe to use normal resin (its a work shop, others are there for different lengths of time), so i am using uv, i just did a light tint of blue acrylic transparent paint, i don't want a thick piece (yet), so i put under the lamp, besides warping (thats simple fix, heat weight it down, wait fix), but it stuck to the mold on one side, and pitted and did some other things on the top, was thinking to sand it down, but was hoping you might have a video on how to not have this happen. and or fix this so both sides are shiny.
i plan taping the edges just a mm ( the edge is so i can attach to a frame after.), or so, with tape, spay mirror effect spray paint on one side, and using your tip on putting uv resin in a needle bottle, and doing a darker shade of the tint, I am then filling in with different shade of complementary colors. Another project is similar just doing a layered picture, layers of uv resin, and still the mirror effect spray paint on back, either way, both sides need to be nice and shiny.
Thank you, and i understand if me asking for help like this is a bit much.
What type sandpaper would you use to shape up the pieces after casting.
can it be sanded and polished after if its scratched
I have a couple of these, the classic and the high viscosity. When I bought them I also bought a uv torch. I’ve had my pieces cure for more than 10 minutes and they’re still sticky. Same brand. Even used the same uv thing as you.
I have the same lamp, it's not good. I bought a good lamp and my resin cures perfectly now.
Try a 36 watt nail lamp, not a 9 watt LED lamp, they say there's no difference, but I believe there is - and don't forget, sometimes you need to turn the item over and cure from the back and also, UV likes to cure in thin layers, try more thin layers instead of one thick layer. Also, room temp, UV likes it warm like at least 74-75 degrees. Best of Luck.
If you have two UV resins, neither of them can be cured. It may be that the wavelength of your UV lamp is not enough, resulting in lacking energy for it to cure. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our after-sales mailbox, customer support will give you an effective solution.
I would like to know which one to do pens with
Can Metal charms be used with these resins in this jewelry you made?
Have u tried the soft b4? I saw a channel use it for jewelry. Like to put a twist in it then put hard over it to hold shape.
Hi, Steve, please could you. Tell what sort of mask that you use? Thankyou.
Can you please post the link to the video about making those rings? The ones you show at about 9 minutes? Thank you!
Hi can you say where you get your stainless steel ring blanks please
I used the low viscosity to shine up a 3d print and bring out the shine as you did with the block. But after curing for 2 minutes it was tacky still so I tried curing for an additional 2 min. Still tacky. Any idea what could have happened. I also only did a light brush on. I did not lay it thick.
Hello Steve is it at all possible to get a link to make those lovely rings with the inserts. Please and thank you
When will they be on the UK market?
Can I put clear nail polish on finished resin pieces in a UV nail machine
Hello Steve. Plz post the link for Canada as well. I am having hard time getting the products.
Our bottles here from Michaels is say hard or soft?
Hi Steve!! I totally love watching and listening to you!! May I ask, did it take longer to cure when you mixed in the great sparkles? Was it only glitter or also color like mica powder and glitters? Thank you for taking the time to answer!
unfortunately I’m not Steve lol but I will say the curing time is all about how easy it is for the UV light to reach through the piece. So the more glitter or pigment you use, the more likely it’s gonna be that you’ll need a bit more time under the lamp. hope that’s somewhat helpful! apologies if I misunderstood and didn’t actually answer you correctly lol
