    I have watched several of your videos today and oh my! I just wish I had seen your videos first. Had I found you first, then I could have saved hours of experimental cell concoctions, hours of experimental paint pour medium recipes (seems every artist has their own) and hours of video viewing and hours of frustration, not to mention the money I've spent on Amazon. I just about have tried every pouring and blowing technique on youtube and have learned a lot by trial and error. I will totally recommend new pour artists to watch your videos first!

    Thank you so very much for taking the time to demonstrate how the butane torch works, and the need to use it. I am extremely happy that you gave the option of using the lighter, which I am more comfortable using. Thanks again. Your information is priceless.

    Extremely helpful. Thank you so much. I just ordered a torch for my resin artwork and hadn’t a clue how to use it. Out of my comfort zone so this helps 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

      Sure. What a great idea. I will add it to the list.

    • @karenwilliams8576
      @karenwilliams8576 7 лет назад

      will1234714 An excellent suggestion! I've repoured with mixed results. Pin holes and cracking/crazing were the primary issues. I tried washing the surface with Dawn dish soap prior to reusing (as I would prior to varnishing) and that seemed to help as it removed old surface silicone. I'll only re-pour once, as a rule, if the painting dried and has no varnish. It's better, as far as repouring goes, if I make the decision to scrape a wet painting and repour than to wait until dry but sometimes I just can't tell if it's a keeper or not! I look forward to Deby's response!

    • @karenwilliams8576
      @karenwilliams8576 7 лет назад

      Thinking again, another issue with repours has been the resulting texture--too textured.

    I love this sooo much. I've been looking into acrylic pours for a few weeks and I see everyone with the torch and I was wondering if I could use a lighter.
    1. I want to try acrylic pouring so I don't want to buy a torch and I end up not like pouring. Lighters I have for jewelry making and can grab a few for $1
    2. I've never used a torch so I'm a little eeh about it.

    HI Deby! Very timely :-) Thank you for this. I just bought a Chef culinary torch last week from Amazon. I will have to load it with the butane. The directions are good, but It is better to see someone actually show how. Thank-you! Blessings

    • @AcrylicPouring
      @AcrylicPouring  7 лет назад

      It seems a bit strange when you first do it, because the nozzle and hole don't seem to 'click' together as you might expect and you might see some gas or vapour escape. But its fine.

  • @karenclarkcreations
    @karenclarkcreations 7 лет назад +1

    Hi Deby! I just used a torch for the first time today and it didn't pop bubbles or make many cells. I did have cells from the silicone, but I was hoping to get tons of tiny ones with just a swipe of the torch. I'm wondering if that could be because my paint was too thick? Or maybe the torch wasn't hot enough?
    Have you ever experienced that?

    • @AcrylicPouring
      @AcrylicPouring  7 лет назад

      It wouldn't be the heat of the torch, its quite hot enough, but it could be the consistency of the paint. Maybe too thick or too thin. Are you in our FB group? Come and chat there, and show some examples of your work and the members will try to help you get the look you want. facebook.com/groups/acrylicpouring

  • @karenwilliams8576
    @karenwilliams8576 7 лет назад +2

    A very helpful video for a new torch user. Be sure to purchase butane cans with the LONG nozzle as stove butane cans (such as Sterno) have a short nozzle that won't fit. Personally, when my first torch died, I tried using a long lighter and the results were not nearly as good. I'm happy with my new torch but found it, as any torch, will take a bit of getting used to. Thanks again!

    • @AcrylicPouring
      @AcrylicPouring  7 лет назад

      I agree, the long lighter isn't the same, but for those who are worried about the regular torch, it can at least pop the bubbles etc to get a nicer finish. Thanks for the tip about the butane nozzle.

    • @AcrylicPouring
      @AcrylicPouring  7 лет назад

      Ah yes I have done, and usually with limited success. I find that they warp on me a lot of the time, and if the paint is still wet, it runs and ruins the design. I've seen people fit them into photo frames to display them. That helps them to lie flat as well.

    I got this brand of butane for my mini torch. Had to get a refund on the first it was faulty and wouldn’t light properly or not at all. Exchanged it and same thing. It won’t light and I filled it up as much as it would go. Did I break it? I turned it upside down and filled it right .

    @TheCointreaux 2 года назад

    So I can just use one of those little lighters I've used for my fireplace or burners on my stove? If I had known that, I would not have set fire to my hand 2 weeks ago. (Just some blisters on middle three fingers, thank goodness!) After that, I bought yet another torch that was just a top part that you attach a small tank of butane. Now, I seem to have difficulty controlling the size of my flame. It really scares me, and I am afraid of igniting my new puppy pool, and the puppy pads that I'm using to protect the puppy pool from paint drips. Fire is dangerous, folks!

    what would be the difference in results if using a heat gun?

    • @AcrylicPouring
      @AcrylicPouring  7 лет назад

      Heat guns can be similar, but it depends on model. Many of them can blow hot air rather than just heat, and this can move the paint about, thus changing the pattern you have poured. A torch is still my favorite.

    Why can't you just use an electric heat gun? Are there any torches with just a button or trigger switch and no safety buttons or levers. Can you turn that one on and off without again pulling the safety switch? Those are so annoying.

      Hahaha, it was a bad hair day, and I really wanted to focus on the products, so if I zoomed out enough to get all of me in the frame, you wouldn't have been able to see the torch close enough. I'm working with the one camera right now so it wasn't easy to get split shots. But thank you for the kind comments
