I was watching another crafter make some stunning pieces. And she set her molds over a mirror and let the lamp reflect back to cure the bottom. I haven't tried it myself but it is on my to try list!!
I love JDiction as I cast horsehair & pet fur in pendants, so I want it crystal clear. This stuff cures like glass. Love the earrings, I wish there was a market here for them.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts yeh I wouldn't be without mine. My biggest will cover a 2ft square area easily, a godsend if I'm making loads lol. It's an industrial one from the world of 3d printing
They are excellent, I have one of them myself that I sometimes use. They can be a little too powerful sometimes and you need to ensure you are keeping the light away from your eyes
I love my uv light from JDiction. I've had it about 4 months now and I found that setting y molds on a 6x8inch mirror, it speeds up the curing process by almost 50%. I still turn the molds over to cure that side as well.
I am so excited just ordered mine and got a 30% coupon!! Yay! I can not wait to not have to balance my light to say nothing of the fact that I think it is on it's last legs.
Thank you I just bought the lamp, I was in doubt about it. I also bought a 36W USB plug to go with it, since most USB plugs are not the right wattage and you wont get the full wattage for curing. I have watched several of your vids, you now how a new subscriber! ♥♥
You are so amazingly talented! Thank you for sharing, I so enjoy watching your videos. I just bought my first uv resin about a month ago and loved your tip about cleaning your mat with tape. Before that did I ever grumble when I finished with the resin, the packing tape was "a game changer"! Then I wondered if my dollar store lint roller would work. It works like a charm and so much faster and much to my delight, easier.😄Thank you again, you bring such joy to my day!
I've got that monster light - LOVE IT! I also have all of JDiction's UV Resin types, and love them all. LOVE those bubbly earrings, plain or with the alcohol ink! 💕😊
I’ve so many UV lamps here I could probably tan with them. Is this one better than istoyo? I so wish JDiction would release a 3 pack with each resin. Nice earrings.
I love watching your videos!!! I’ve seen some other videos using UV resin and they place the mold on a mirror in order for the bottom to cure without flipping. Have you ever tried that???
It does work, but ii am not sure of the prolonged exposure on your eyes? I have done it before, but this lamp is more powerful than the ones I have used before
Do you normally well lung protection when using resin products? I really hope you do. Please don't worry about us hearing your at the expense of hurting yourself. So many people are getting sick, lung cancer, lung disease & rash from all types of resins. Please take care of yourself. Even the no fumes/ low fumes need to be used with protection, ventilation, and open windows or outside. Take Care & blessings
Never ever without it, I use a full head respirator that has it's own electric air filter attached. I agree with you. I have made many videos on the importance of using PPE and using a mask at all times. I also have extractor fans in my studio. I hate to see other people who make videos using resin that never ever use any PPE or say that it isn't important. It is so important
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I just bought a respirator with my lamp , I really dislike the awkwardness of them but I figured it is worth it, I can deal with it for a hourish on my face.
Steve I just found your site and love you, Ive never used resin but want to give it a go, I have one ? Re: high velocity and low velocity. When do you use each of them?
I use Jdiction because of watching you. And I thought about getting that light, but it doesn't tell you what the wattage is. So I'm a little hesitant. I'd like to know if it's more or less than 35w.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts thank you so much for answering. That's pretty close to the recommended 35-watt I read about. Okay Jdiction take my money.
i sincerely hope this lamp is better than the Resin mixer you recommend from jdiction. I use their UV resin and it is great. I loved the resin mixer when i first got it, but it lasted less than 3 months, which i thought was way too short considering the price. i love your videos and i learn so much from you!
Just curious..is it an England thing the way Steve says "really"? For instance.. That is reeeallly good. It will come out reeeeally easy I reeeeeallly want to try it I reeeeally appreciate the coffee. I must know!
What is JDiction? I’m new to your channel, so don’t know your insider buzzwords (?) But I do have a UV Light the one you used today, just a different brand. I got it because I couldn’t stand my nail polish taking so long to dry & it’s been great to be able to do both of my hands at the same time.😋
I'm getting a little frustrated. I'm new to this and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong when I add colors after tries. It's really bendy I guess you could say and I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I would appreciate any help you could possibly give me. Thank you😢
What type of resin are you using? It might be that you are adding too much pigment, not mixing your resin enough, or curing it enough if it’s a uv resin you are using? There are so many different things that could contribute to this. Don’t worry all of them are normally simple fixes.
I feel the same way when people say Farmhouse Style” 10X in their “up-cycling" videos! Not everybody wants to stencil Pigs or Cows all over everything! I just watched because I wanted to learn how to do transferring! Okay, I’m sorry, guess everyone knows where my hot button is now! 😏 And to think I just read your rules on being polite & kind & all that jazz, even agreed to all of it. Guess it was bothering me more than I realized… sorry about that guys.🙁
I agree. It's one of those over-used phrases that drive me up a wall and once some media person uses it, then everyone is using it. Same for the words, "hack" and "clapping back"........there's many of them; so unoriginal. Language is suffering and lazy.
I wish JDiction would sell a bundle with one of each formula in 100 ml.
I think they are planning on doing that
I would be all over that!!!
That would be great!@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts
Me too
Exactly, not sure why they haven't already. It's my go to UV so providing the " full set" is an obvious way forward in a business sense
I was watching another crafter make some stunning pieces. And she set her molds over a mirror and let the lamp reflect back to cure the bottom. I haven't tried it myself but it is on my to try list!!
I never thought of turning them over to cure the bottom until you came along, so long ago. You have taught us so much, THANK YOU!
Glad to be of help
I love JDiction as I cast horsehair & pet fur in pendants, so I want it crystal clear. This stuff cures like glass. Love the earrings, I wish there was a market here for them.
I love my big lamps, I got one like that about 6 months ago, it's awesome, though I do use my even bigger one sometimes too. They help a lot
They make such a difference

Where did you order from? I can’t seem to find it even on the JDiction website
The links are in the description of the video for the light.
Thank you very much, now I have MORE stuff to make because they’ll make great gifts 😂. I have the earring molds and alcohol inks plus embellishements.
Yay
I now know what to do with the clear bits I have! Thank you! I always learn something new with you.

That looks like a great lamp! Much better than the one I have. It's domed and closed at the back. I think this one would work much better. Thank you!
I love it!
The moulds I got off temu very impressed with them and the prices.

I do that, but you DO want to be careful of your eyes and exposing them to the UV.
Totally agree, that is a risk
It does work, but ii am not sure of the prolonged exposure on your eyes? I have done it before, but this lamp is more powerful than the ones I have used before

Hi what’s the difference between high and light velocity other than thickness?
Do you polish or sand the edges? If so, how?
This looks awsome! Does this UV Resin ever turn yellow?
All resin will turn yellow over time. I have found that the JDICTION UV resin is the most resistant to yellowing and stays clear much much longer.
Were the first 3 colors that you used alcohol inks or something different?
They were transparent colours not alcohol inks, I linked them in the video description, hope that helps 😀
What is JDiction? I’m new to your channel, so don’t know your insider buzzwords (?)
But I do have a UV Light the one you used today, just a different brand. I got it because I couldn’t stand my nail polish taking so long to dry & it’s been great to be able to do both of my hands at the same time.😋
JDICTION is the name of the company that make the resin I use
Thanks!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your support
Do have to use special alcohol or dye inks for UV?
Not special alcohol inks, but you are better off using transparent colours. I linked the ones I use in the description
Can you show me how to make resin pens from pen moulds plz 😊
I have a couple of videos on this on my channel. If you search pens they should come up
I just bought a black light from Amazon
I need one of these like yesterday😂. Do we know when it’ll be available in the uk?
Soon I hope
Couldn’t u put aluminum foil under the mold for the UV light to bounce off and help cure it.

Stop winning lil baby's just cause u don't belive in god
@@skeets_tumblers_and_epoxy Do you mean winning or whining?
it is a game changer to have a large safe light to use with UV resin. It has changed the game for me.
