Glad I found this video because this is a real issue no one talks about. Unless it only happens to certain brands of resin🤷🏻♀️ I was inspired to do additional tests because of your video! I use the cheaper uv resin from amazon and it peels off regardless if it’s on a shiny side or the sanded side. I think resin just doesn’t adhere well to this plastic in general. If I remember correctly, regular 2 part epoxy acts the same way. The modpodge method works great but modpodge can be finicky. I tried the gloss sealer spray and it works great. Super easy, dries fast, and you can seal a bunch of charms at once.
I didnt think about the plastic itself! (especially since there are different brands of shrink plastic!) Thank you so much for your input! :D There's a lot of trial and error in crafting and its great to have more info from other people's experiences!
Kermit Plays Kahoot I use rustoleum. However, if you are spraying over sharpie ink, I would seal it with mod Podge or use a lacquer/enamel spray, or else ink will bleed
Thank you for being so blunt. I feel like a lot of people would rather sugar coat it but crafting isn't always easy-peasy and more people should talk about it.
Resin does not stick to plastic that's why we can use plastic molds when casting resin, what you can do to solve all these issues is to incase your charm inside the resin. Just let it run down the one side when doming and then when you are done with that side flip it over and dome the other side making sure that you connect the resin with the resin on the other side. WALLA a charm that will never come part :) Good luck. I love the voice hahahahhahahah
Coming back here again because I want to redo my shrink plastic project. Been thinking about resin but it’s a bit costly where i live and kinda afraid it might peel off too. Anyway thank you for the tips! This is the only vid i could find offering a good doming tutorial. 💕
I’m wondering if you can use a base coat for gel nails or something like that. Reminds me of how polygel or gels can peel if the prep isn’t done. I’m curious if that help at all? Lol 😂 I do my own nails so it reminded me of that. The top coat will also bubble up under a cute lamp I forget what you have to do but there’s a way to prevent that too
Thank you so much for this video! I was planning on getting some shrink film as I already had resin and keychains and I didn’t realise that the mod podge was so important in it lasting, so thank you again!🥺
hi! in the minute 10:55 there was micro holes in the surface? I'm using uv resin for my acrylic charms but everytime I cure the resin appears this micro holes :(( (sorry for my bad english)
You have to color the charm before baking, right? Do you mod podge the back as well or the color doesn’t rub off? Thank you for the info, very educational!
Yes! Color the charm before baking. :) And as for the back, I think it depends on what you are using. Like chalk pastels would need to be coated and if you used washable markers, you would probably need to coat it as well. Acrylic paint or permanent marker wouldn't need coating on the back. But it doesn't hurt to take the extra step if you can! ^_^
Hi! Do you need to add resin or mod podge etc for this craft? Or can it work and still be nice and smooth without it? What if you used colored pencils or sharpies? Because I don’t have any mod podge, resin, nail polish, or anything. But I still really want to make this craft.
for shrink plastic in general, you don't need mod podge or resin or anything! U can just use colored pencils (on the rough side) or sharpie and it'll work perfectly fine. It will be smooth to a certain degree.. it depends on what level of smoothness you are satisfied with I guess. The only reason I use resin and mod podge on top is to make it more durable so the colors don't fade or rub off and sharpie doesn't scratch off overtime :)
For me when I used mod lodge to coat the charm before the resin, since I used colored pencils, the mod podge made all these little cracks and it ruined the design. Do u happen to know how to fix this?
the cracks could be from creases made by the mod podge if the layer wasnt smooth? like brush strokes? I'm not 100% sure. But you can check out this recent-ish video by Amy Made which goes into my depth about shrink plastic: ruclips.net/video/7h0Bwk66g3o/видео.html
Very useful info for me, who is just interested in doing this kind of thing. (I’m still collecting supplies and have not yet dived in and tried anything) I wonder if you have a link to the best place to get shrink wrap. I ordered some from Ali Express, and still don’t have it (ordered before Thanksgiving). Thank you for showing your failures, and reacting to them in such a funny way. Gave me some giggles, because I swear way too often for an ER nurse. Lol
Thank you!!! 😊 I always get my shrink plastic from Michaels because I can just go there and pick it up. But if u don’t have a Michaels nearby, you can also order it on their website here: www.michaels.com/shrinky-dinks-creative-pack/M10183880.html?dwvar_M10183880_count=10#q=Shrinky+dink&start=1 (I recommend the ruff n ready version) And usually Michaels has 40% off coupons available daily, so look into that as well 😉 And seriously, I don’t blame u for cursing 😂 it is inappropriate but it helps relieve stress!!!
Jasmine Joachin I personally didnt at the time I filmed this video and I haven’t had any issues, but I was talking to another crafter and she said that she’s actually had experience with it popping off the rough side! So I think it’s best to play it safe and add mod podge on the back as well. It might take more time, but it doesn’t hurt, right? 😅
Mod Podge peels off shrink plastic easily. It's like peeling white elmers glue off your fingers. I will never use it again as a sealant for shrink charms. :(
Hi^^ Ik this is an older video but do uk where u get the phone charm strap from n how much you get them for? They’re always so pricey n I could never find them in stores 😅🥺 I really like your vids btw :D
if I need them asap, I order from amazon! um... I don't remember the price, but I think I paid about $10 for a pack.. I don't remember how many were in the pack either 😰 and if I'm not in a hurry, I order from aliexpress for half the price maybe? but it takes 1-2 months to arrive. I've actually never seen these in stores so I gotta order online. but check amazon or aliexpress ^^;; sorry I cant give you an accurate answer for the price and amount.
Tomatoda that’s perfectly fine^^ thank you so much for responding :D the times when amazon disabled my account for no reason is when I’m trying to buy them 😂>:0
Thankyou so much for this video! Did this method also work over time for you? Anything popping off after a while even with the Mod Podge? 😳 Take care/ 🌸Amanda
Omg, I'm about to dry my piece right now. I did the resin on the non-shiny side, so I hope it works out. I will edit this comment to let you know. (I used gemex resin btw) Edit: Ended up losing my UV light before I even dried it, so I had to leave it outside for so long (3 days). It was my first ever shrink plastic piece of an anime character (took so long to do) and I was so proud of it ;) So, I am very sad to say that when it finally hardened, the colour was bleeding, but only on the parts that I used pencil. (Never using that for grey again ;( ) Anyways, this doesn't really have to do with what the video's about, so I guess I will edit this if it starts peeling of or something... And a tip: You PrObAbLy shouldn't use pencil. But it's probably also my fault since the resin was wet for so long.. Nice video btw!
@@greenfly1807 By pencil did you mean like regular no. 2 pencil?! I didn’t know it would react that way. I’ll remember to stay clear of it as well. Thanks for sharing! And sorry your work was kind of ruined 😭
@@Tomatoda Oh, don't worry about it, it's not your fault. Plus, it doesn't look too bad, it's pretty cool. :) I don't know if the pencil thing will be different for different types of shrink plastic or anything. (it was a normal pencil) And your video was very helpful and just saying you seem so kind, by the video and your replys to people, your a great person. I feel like I connect with people who reply to my comments and I don't know what else to say.
the peeling? it'll happen even without the permanent maker. But I don't recommend drawing with permanent marker on the rough side cuz the ink will seep a bit into the scratches of the roughness. You won't get that clear of a line as opposed to drawing on the smooth side. I'll make sure to give an example in my new video in a few days! :)
@@Tomatoda that really odd though. I tried with sharpie, colour pencils and padico resin and didn't have any problems. I have lots of trouble with qiao qiao uv resin in the past though. Seems like it cured too hot and a lot of my pieces curled up. I will take photos and show you on insta
@@farawaymercury YES! I saw it! It looked like you worked on the rough side of the shrink plastic which actually doesnt need any prep. You can directly put UV resin on it with no worries :) But my personal preference, the directions in my sumikko book, and shrink plastic crafts I've seen from other people, sharpie is typically used on the smooth side to get a crisp line and 3d-ish effect and colored on the rough side so the colors can hold on. So this tutorial is to help with doming the permanent marker to make it last. Not necessarily doming the rough colored side since it doesnt always need protection depending on your medium. And actually hearing about the pieces curling, I think it might be that you layered the UV Resin on too thick at once? Something similar happened to one of my medium sized resin pieces. I made something with epoxy resin but domed it with Qiao Qiao UV resin and it curled up. Cheap UV Resin shrinks, and when it shrinks, it takes whatever its holding/gripping onto with it. On top of that, it heats up a lot when curing (like you said as well) so your pieces easily bends to the UV Resin's will. Usually, applying and curing several thin layers instead of one thick one will help prevent the curling effect. If not, just stick with padico. Padico doesn't shrink all that much
in my personal experience, it does work on the matte surface! But someone else said they had the same issue of it peeling off on the matte surface so I think there might be a lot of different factors playing into this. Like it could be the brand of shrink plastic or uv resin. Depends on each person's experience I guess ^^;; hahahaha

Is it ok to use the gloss mod podge for colored pencils instead of markers?
Why don't you dip it into resin??
I hear Mod Podge turn yellow over time or after being in sunlight over time. Not sure how true. Anyone knows
Yeah, I wanted to use dimensional magic but a lot of people in the reviews are saying it yellows!
i saw a different video where you can seal the charm with super gloss mod podge and THEN you can use resin and dome it
Resin, especially UV resin, yellows over time. Using a flame to remove bubbles only exacerbates this problem.
hi! in the minute 10:55 there was micro holes in the surface? I'm using uv resin for my acrylic charms but everytime I cure the resin appears this micro holes :(( (sorry for my bad english)
Have u tried popping the micro bubbles with fire? I usually have to do about 2-3 layers for the holes to disappear
Aren't the shrink plastic and pvc plastic same?

How long can I wait before putting my piece under the uv ray?
Any long term result on the mod podge ones?
nothing has popped off but also I kept them in storage for majority of the time so they weren't putting up with everyday stress >_
Awesome tips. Thank you for sharing.
Can we use glue+ water solution before adding UV resin like I don't have mod podge in my country so..😅
I’ve never tried but it sounds possible? Like the white glue+some water? You should definitely experiment with it 😅😅😅

Is this gonna be a proplem with A and B liquid resin? Which stay 24 hour to cure
It could depend on the brand, but for the most part, a b resin shouldn’t have this problem.
I domed mine with triple thick, and my marker bled 😩
Can you show how to put holes in to use as earrings.
I used a hand drill to make holes after doming!
do you know if this method will work for printable shrink plastic sheets or will the ink just bleed once you put the mod podge? thank u in advance :)
hi! I'm really sorry, but I have zero experience with the printable shrink plastic so I actually cant answer that question 😭
Do you add mod large and resin to the other side- the rough side?

So is it safe to apply mod podge over sharpie?
mod podge over sharpie is safe. epoxy resin and some uv resin is not >_
Do you have to do the thin layer before the thick dome or can I just skip to do some think after mod podge?
I'm sorry, can u clarify what you mean please?
Mod Podge peels off shrink plastic easily. It's like peeling white elmers glue off your fingers. I will never use it again as a sealant for shrink charms. :(

Cute pins
Great video! Where did you buy your UV light?
on Amazon!
What does that mean though? That the uv resin doesn't work or did you intentionally remove it?
it means there's a *chance* that the UV resin will peel off by itself sooner or later. So if you wear it around, it might just come off :(
