Wow! Love how you used the UV Resin in conjunction with the ResinCrete! I’ve been wondering how the two would work together. I’m going to have to try this! Very cool!
Thank you, I just got a bag of this from Temu and thought it looked less brittle than plaster and air dry clay and it could be uses in miniature dioramas/doll houses. I was looking for a video about it and you told mw everything I needed to know. I'm going to use it in moulds for various things from faux plaster architectural decorations to crockery and miniature food. I don't get on with polymer clay so this looks likes a good alternative. I subbed because you never know when you may need advice from other craftspeople. I also got some of the nail art transparent resin (UV) clay which I don't know much about but saw someone make little mushrooms with lights inside around a black resin pool. It was really effective and I thought it may work well in projects where you want a more translucent effect. I think the channel was called Tea and Art or vice versa, her project looked really amazing.
Well thank you for watching and subbing! I don’t churn out lots of videos but I do my best to ensure the ones I do put out are helpful to at least someone! There will be more on the way that you may like. I agree there are many great creators out there sharing brilliant tips to help increase our knowledge! They inspire me too. UV resin is a fun, versatile option and you’ll find lots of crafters making all sorts with it - Daniel Cooper is a good shout for that! Finally, I’d recommend sourcing somewhere locally to buy this medium in bulk as it will work out cheaper but this was indeed a great option for experimenting with or just for fun. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment!
Love the water drop idea, could you advise what to use to seal the items like the soap trays etc that may have wet items on them,sealing and finishing, greatful for any advice please, Ray
Hi, thanks for watching, I'm glad you found it informative. It's recommended to use stone top wax to help seal material like this and I believe there is also a liquid/spray you can get that does the same sort of thing. Basically, anything, even from a basic diy store that sells waterproof sealant for porous stone, concrete etc should work fine. You'll sometimes find when you buy the starter kits for products like resincrete or aqua cast or jesmonite, will come with a small sample of wax that you can rub onto the product afterwards so that's something to look out for. I hope that helps!
Thanks for watching! Yeah I should think that’s fine, it’ll just take a little longer to cure before you’re able to add the resincrete and you’d have to ensure the viscosity was such that it doesn’t spread out too much over that time. Uv resin is easier for this and it’s relatively cheap so I’d definitely choose that if it were me.
I have indeed achieved exactly this when using proper pigments made for eco resin. I used black to darken a primary red to make it more of an ox blood red and also with a primary blue to make a nice deep navy! Just be sure to add the tiniest drop at a time so as to not overdo it.
As far as I’m aware, for this, it makes no difference, I just happened to have loads left over that my wife used to use for ironing! She said it made no difference so I said I’d use it in my work. It is useful for acrylic fluid art when mixing paints with pouring mediums but for this, tap water is fine.
I tried this, but all my droplets came loose and popped out, so I was left with little divetts, which is okay because I made it a space-themed tray so it looked like little craters. Should they have stayed in, though, or did yours eventually pop out?
Mine have always stayed in. Perhaps it’s about the curing time. I de-mold after about 30-40 mins then leave for a couple of days before adding a wax seal. So far they’ve been fine. I have seen other videos combining resin and resincrete where they’ve come apart so there is something to it, just not sure exactly to what! I’m sure the answer is out there somewhere on RUclips!
I have done so multiple times. The trick is to ensure that the eco resin is abrasive. So if you have an area that you want to layer some resin on, give it a sand to rough it up, then clean any loose remanence with 99% isopropyl (preferably) to ensure there's no dust or debris remaining and then you should be able to successfully adhere resin onto it. Also ensure it is fully cured - ideally a couple of days after making it so that you know all moisture is gone. It's not a 100% guarantee but it's worked for me so far. It also depends on what you want to do. So laying clear resin over some scuffed up eco resin might not be ideal so it'll be better with resin that is tinted with pigment. However, I recently started engraving designs onto my eco resin pieces and experimented with layering some clear resin over it and it worked well as it bonded with the engraved part of the eco resin really well, without me needing to scuff it by sanding it! You can check out my laser engraved eco resin videos on my channel too if you like. Thanks for watching.
As far as I’m aware, I can’t see why not. It’s a bit or miss though and also dependent on the mould - I found that the cheap mica powder I got from a Temu haul worked perfectly well, yet I’ve heard from others that they’ve struggled at times. I’d say it’s simply about experimenting. I just went for it and it worked out well.
Is it not? That’s surprises me. I’m sure there are many alternatives though and they’re all pretty much the same as I’ve learned over the past year or so trying a few out!
That’s bizarre! My main go-to for Eco resin now (and you’ll find some of my videos here on my channel) is Eli-Chem Resins and I know thay deliver worldwide. But you’d be better off buying in bulk as it works out cheaper per gram. Otherwise, you’ll also find my videos on “cheap” eco resins from Temu - again, it’s pretty much the same stuff and handy if you just want to buy a small pouch here and there to try out. Otherwise I’m surprised there are no specific brands of eco resin you can access within the US, there has to be someone somewhere. Joanne’s? Michael’s? Aren’t they the big brand craft stores over there?

Nice job❤❤
Thank you!
i only use RESINCRETE and have done some amazing designs.🙋♀
Excellent! It’s really versatile! Check out my Jackson Pollock inspired eco resin project too! Give it a try!

Thanks Rob. Learnt some great things. I wasn’t sure the raindrop effect would work but it came out a treat.
That’s excellent! I’m glad it worked out and thanks for your feedback!
I find that I don’t get a headache from JDiction uv resin. They are great as they have different viscosity types
Absolutely! Very versatile and safe to use for all ages!
Thank you for your experiment! I just got my Resin Crete, so glad to know the mica powder on the mold works!❤❤❤
Indeed! It’s very easy and very effective! Thanks for watching - have fun!
Oh my gosh. Thank you for showing your experiments. Am definitely subscribing.
And thank you for watching and subscribing!!!
No bubbles,came out really lovely.
Thank you!
Love the raindrop tray!
Thank you! So easy to make as well!
@@artistrobfuller definitely going to give it a go! I have just received my resincrete too! Happy times playing!
@@annagray6491 enjoy!!
Very nice video! New sub here. Looking forward to future videos and will be checking out your previous posts.
Glad you approve! Feel free to leave your opinions on my previous videos - as varied as they are!
I love resin Crete
It’s cleaner, u can mix it with silicone too.
Yes I enjoyed using the uv resin alongside the resincrete! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
Very interesting video, lots of great tips! I only have regular casting resin, could that be used to make the raindrops?
Thanks for watching! Yeah I should think that’s fine, it’ll just take a little longer to cure before you’re able to add the resincrete and you’d have to ensure the viscosity was such that it doesn’t spread out too much over that time. Uv resin is easier for this and it’s relatively cheap so I’d definitely choose that if it were me.
If you add black does that deepen the red?
I have indeed achieved exactly this when using proper pigments made for eco resin. I used black to darken a primary red to make it more of an ox blood red and also with a primary blue to make a nice deep navy! Just be sure to add the tiniest drop at a time so as to not overdo it.
What difference does distilled water make.
As far as I’m aware, for this, it makes no difference, I just happened to have loads left over that my wife used to use for ironing! She said it made no difference so I said I’d use it in my work. It is useful for acrylic fluid art when mixing paints with pouring mediums but for this, tap water is fine.

Are you able to cover this product with resin. Would it stick to it
I have done so multiple times. The trick is to ensure that the eco resin is abrasive. So if you have an area that you want to layer some resin on, give it a sand to rough it up, then clean any loose remanence with 99% isopropyl (preferably) to ensure there's no dust or debris remaining and then you should be able to successfully adhere resin onto it.

These are cool, but you will find deeper casts get the best out of eco pours, they are much stronger then.😊
Agreed! I have made some deeper ones for air plants and they were proper solid! Thanks for watching!
If you bang your table it will help release the bubbles.
Yes I’ve seen that done before. Not always necessary but worth it if you need it! Thanks for watching!
I fill up the mould with water, then measure that to see what volume I will need from the mixed resincrete.
Yep, that’ll do it!
Can it be any kind of mica powder
As far as I’m aware, I can’t see why not. It’s a bit or miss though and also dependent on the mould - I found that the cheap mica powder I got from a Temu haul worked perfectly well, yet I’ve heard from others that they’ve struggled at times. I’d say it’s simply about experimenting. I just went for it and it worked out well.
Thank you
Too bad it’s not available in the U.S
Is it not? That’s surprises me. I’m sure there are many alternatives though and they’re all
pretty much the same as I’ve learned over the past year or so trying a few out!
Haven’t seen it anywhere, Jemonite also not in the U.S, available in Canada which is my neighbor, but considered Europe.

Music distracts from your speech.
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll bear that in mind next time. Hope you enjoyed the video regardless.
