Thanks for doing this Dan. It Lets people know that they don't have pay extortionate amounts, buying such paste from certain people and that it's actually very easy and cheap to make at home. I just hope everyone sees this now. Your blooms are awesome, best I've seen. Great job ❤.
WOW!!! Daniel absolutely astonishingly genius you are ❤ part B yellows faster than part A . I know you were after the viscosity. I absolutely love this. Thank you so kindly for sharing your wonderful talent and videos with us all ❤ Take great care and keep creating and smiling. ❤
Your videos are never too long ! This one3,again very interesting. The difference between the two coasters is really impressive. The left one has several "layers" . Beautiful ! Thank you Daniel 😊💙💙💙
That was really interesting. I never thought of the depth making a difference in the bloom. The thinner one really does look better. Pretty cool making your own pigment paste, too. I think Steve McDonald makes his own with the titanium dioxide as well. I really love that you do things like this. I really learn a lot. Thank you!
Just discovered your channel, completely fascinated by it! These look so much like a flower I plant every summer called a Dianthus. So pretty, and as one that does crafts, has my mind whirling with possibilities.
Well done Dr Cooper! I love your determination to test things out, and to give us information more than “add this to this”. I learn from you which is invaluable, and you are happy to share the things you have discovered. Thank you! 👏🌟🇦🇺
very interesting! "uniform" is a good word for the shallow petals. I like that! I wonder if you could do another bloom layer on top of the shallow one? maybe darker colors. could be another experiment.
Simply stunning…. I’m a beginner, have everything to get started but learning a bit more before I start my first one. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Georgetown Ky
Thank you for all the outstanding tutorials! I just made some bloom coasters, and 4 out of 5 came out brilliantly. I've just purchased some of your collab resin to see how much better the results get!
The one with less resin is super beautiful! Hands down the best bloom I have ever seen. Usually when ppl make coasters there so much clear/blk to flower bloom it’s crazy!
Very cool experiment, one thing i have noticed is the effect of gravity on pigments. The deeper the pour the further the pigment will sink down to the bottom, pulling with it anything around it (think small pebbles sinking in syrup or oil). I had more success with blooms when i only used inks, and a heatgun (pouring from a height at the places i wanted the color to contract), but im still experimenting as well 😅 You are definitely on to something there concerning the depth of the pour. Cool video, thanks for sharing.
Love the blooms on both but the thinner pour was definitely better. Thanks also for the tutorial on making your own white pigment paste, (gotta save the pennies wherever we can these days).
Thank you for such a detailed video! Love the flower effects. A Silicon scraper/spatula from the cooking area will be a great addition to your tool kit.
$12 is pretty cheap. But if you want to try out resin for the first time, there’s so much to buy at once if you want to do all these cool projects and it adds up fast. So anywhere we can save is worth it!
Beautiful blooms! I'm definitely going to try using less resin. I'm also going to make some paste. I bought some titanium dioxide to mix with alcohol to spray on white tiles to engrave with the F1.
Thank you so much Daniel. I am s newby at these blooms. Did three coasters, did not fill them, was saving space for a top coat and first time I found them blooming beautifully, did not know why, and here you have given me the reason. Thank you once again for coming through for us.
I didn't realize the depth made a difference either. However, maybe this gives us a an opportunity to add different backgrounds. Maybe a two layered background with something iridescent then a darker layer to make it pop. The ideas are limitless. Thank you for sharing. ✌️❤️🤣 remember to always strive for peace, love and happiness in your life.
Thanks, Daniel, for the tips! As someone who is just starting out with resins, I'm struggling to justify buying a $13 bottle of resin pigment or $18 for the sinker white, especially since I'm not sure I will use it all before it goes bad. It seems like such a waste. This is a much more economical way to achieve the same beautiful results. I'm wondering what will happen if I add mica powder or pearl alcohol inks to the mixture. Could you do a video on that? I would also be interested to know how it effects the viscosity of the resin and just some basics about what happens on a physical level when you add certain things. Does mica powder spread? How and why do the inks spread? Is there a good rule of thumb about how deep sinkers will sink, such as temperature and/or viscosity? So many questions. Hope you can answer some of them. Thanks for all you do. I've learned so much already!
Very welcome 😊 micas can be used yes, lots of questions there, be sure to check out as many of my vids on both blooms and petri, many answers are already there 😊😊
This is how i always make my pigment paste, i have yet to attempt a bloom, i will very soon, thank you for all your knowledge & ideas, very much appreciated. Love these 🌼 🌸
AMAZING blooms, Daniel! 💕 Both are beautiful, but that shallow pour is absolutely *GORGEOUS!* The bloom is wider, more evenly spread, has more definition, and - crazily - *_has more depth!_* HOW?!? BEST BLOOM EVER, dude! 😍👍 Who knew a *shallow* pour would make better blooms?!? 😲 I always heard we need a fairly deep pour to avoid blobbing (assuming not too much white paste is used), but this...! P.S. To get the lumps out, push the powder through a fine sieve, using a finger, popsicle stick, spatula...whatever! That way, you won't need to purchase a mortar and pestle. 😊
Thank you so much Daniel! For some reason I tend to always have a little Part B left so now I know what to do with it! Thank you so very much for this! What a game changer!!!
Really interesting..I hadn't seen homemade pigment paste before.. very cool.. Those pours that are popular at the moment say you need a deeper mould for the blooms but yours clearly works better with the shallow one.. beautiful too❤
I am glad you made the white pointing base. Wow, the vacuum chamber was a great idea. Think i need to do this with my black paste that i made, and order some titanium dioxide. That was real interesting about the amount of resin for the flowers. I always thought it would be the opposite. Great observation. And thanks for sharing. 😊
Thanks Bob, yes, took me by surprise too. Next time I will try the vacuum before spending time mixing, I think it worked amazing at ridding of any powder bubbles 😊
@@daniel..cooper Agree the sinker pigments definitely pricey. Starting to make my own pigments too. Like an old mad scientists here concocting potions. Lol
Don't worry to much about the expiraration date on the zink dioxide it's there because zink dioxide is also a popular ingredient in medicinal salve and make up, so it's mostly there for those purposes.
Hi Daniel, I've just started watching your videos for a short while now. I love how creative and beautiful your experiments come out. I'm trying out resin jewelry too. But I don't know how to drill a hole using the self drilling tool... could or did you do a video how to do that? Have a gloriously blessed Monday 😉
I had a thought. I sometimes don’t like the migration to the center. Have you ever tried a raised center maybe with a coin? I think I might. Great video
WOW!!! How amazing…thanks Daniel for showing us starving artists hacks to save money!!! These days its so awesome to be able to save anything!!! So again thank you and wow what a bloom does it make!!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful results, thank you for sharing your ideas and experiments. I’m going to give this a try, I don’t care for casting craft. I stopped using it. Daniel I appreciate all you do Thank you ❤❤❤
Would using a small brand new sieve work to break up the lumps in the powder before adding Part A or Part B (depending on the creator’s preference) be a better starting point, especially if you don’t have equipment at hand to pull all the trapped air bubbles out of any clumps, thus breaking the clumps up later? I only suggest a new sieve because it won’t have been used before on anything that could potentially have left anything on despite washing up. The sieve could be small & labelled for use with Titanium Powder & stored in a sealed ziplock bag to prevent dust collecting on it. And would you only want to use the paste with the exact same resin you made it with? Or does it work with different brands? Different viscosities? Different cure times? Different types of resins like Deep Pour etc.?
This couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m going to be trying my first bloom in a few days and I have been studying your videos! The shallow pour will definitely be added to my instructions. But I am going to stick with the Let’s Resin ocean pigment for now. Lol
Yes, yellowing is one but many other things can happen like changes in viscosity, poor curing and bonding etc. I will make a vid soon with some very out of date resin 😂
The blooms are beautiful! I haven't tried a bloom yet but I will definitely be trying with the thin layer. Also, what is the name of the clicky pressure thingy that you use to pop bubbles? Keep up the wonderful tutorials. ❤
Bravo, youve nailed the bloom.❤
I love magenta with yellow and yellow ochre. They were both so pretty .
Thanks for doing this Dan. It Lets people know that they don't have pay extortionate amounts, buying such paste from certain people and that it's actually very easy and cheap to make at home. I just hope everyone sees this now. Your blooms are awesome, best I've seen. Great job ❤.
Thank you so much Daniel. I look forward to all of your experiments. I learned so much. Thank you for sharing your talent and your knowledge.❤️
Nailed it! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Those blooms are so good, loved the one with the less resin, it’s just as you said.
WOW!!! Daniel absolutely astonishingly genius you are ❤ part B yellows faster than part A . I know you were after the viscosity. I absolutely love this. Thank you so kindly for sharing your wonderful talent and videos with us all ❤ Take great care and keep creating and smiling. ❤
Thanks Dale, I knew this but it didn't cross my mind at all 🙈 Oops! 😂
These blooms are amazing!
Thank you so much Rhoda 😊 I'm so happy with them 😊😊
@@daniel..cooper what a perfect experiment!!!
Gorgeous!! 🎉
❤❤❤❤ & love knowing about making my own. This will definitely be a $$ saver. Thanks Daniel for taking time to teach us!
Beautiful!
So beautiful I love it 💖
AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL RESULTS. Thank you
Very interesting. Both are beautiful!
Thanks as always Dolli 😊😊
Your videos are never too long !

Where would I get titanium dioxide and also can I use acrylic paint as color paste
Very interesting on the depth. Makes sense when you think about the fact heat rises and cold drops.
Thanks Vicky 😊
Just discovered your channel, completely fascinated by it! These look so much like a flower I plant every summer called a Dianthus.
So pretty, and as one that does crafts, has my mind whirling with possibilities.
Thanks for subbing! 😊
The shallow one was much more realistic. Both are beautiful. Thank you. 😊
Thanks Belinda 😊 Yes, so much better than my previous attempts with zigzag petals
both beautiful
Thanks 😊
Very beautiful- thanks!
Thanks 😊
Wow Daniel! Fantastic! I'm just going to order myself some titanium powder and try this!
Beautiful thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you 😊
Another fab tutorial and helping us save pennies too, i yet to try the flower blooms as im so critical of my own work, but so gorgeous blooms
The more shallow one is more flower like. What I mean is it seems more 3 dimensional and layered. Really lovely.
Thanks, I 100% agree 😊😊😊
Well done Dr Cooper!
I love your determination to test things out, and to give us information more than “add this to this”.

Thanks, yes, could layer these much easier 😊
That is stunning and the one that is the thicker pour also has more … for a lack of term, waisted space around the edges.
Thank you 😊
I think sifting the powder into the mixing bowl would eliminate the lumps. I’ve ordered some TD and I’m going to make some! So excited 😊
That's amazing
Thank you 😊
Simply stunning…. I’m a beginner, have everything to get started but learning a bit more before I start my first one. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Georgetown Ky
You’re welcome 😊 Have fun creating 😊😊
Perfect !!
Thank you 😊
Omg that’s incredible
That was very informative. Thanks for sharing. I'll have to try that.😊❤
These are great, thanks

Yay, congratulations 🎊 😊😊
Love it can't wait to try this. I wonder how to do more than one flower and type of flower. Thank You Daniel.
Yes it’s stunning, thanks for sharing a great video. This is my aim today to make pigment paste and then try this bloom ❤
Thank you 😊 Have fun Glenda 😊😊😊
Hmmmm… I didn’t know that 😮 What an amazing revelation. It’s crazy what we find out by accident 🤣
Thanks, definitely 😊😂

Amazing results. I think we should start calling you Professor Cooper... 😄😄👍👍
Thanks Michelle 😊🤓😂
Wow 1st time there beautiful. Will try making my own paste. Tysm for this info.. 🤩🤩
My pleasure 😊 thanks Tracy 😊
The shallow one looks softer and more whispy........love them both 💝
Thanks for sharing 👌
You’re welcome 😊 Thank you 😊
Loving the 3D effect. So so pretty! ☺️
Love the blooms on both but the thinner pour was definitely better. Thanks also for the tutorial on making your own white pigment paste, (gotta save the pennies wherever we can these days).
Thanks Trisha 😊 Very welcome 😊
They are both stunning, totally agree that the thinner is a more delicate bloom, as always thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you 😊
The deeper one reminds me of a carnation. Both are lovely
WOW
Thanks Susan 😊
After the resin is set, I bet you could pour more clear resin, to make it a thicker coaster.
Your videos are never too long hahaha love this
I made a bloom the other day, and I used to dragon eyes in the middle, and it looked great.
Oh wow, that sounds amazing 😍🤩
Thank you for such a detailed video! Love the flower effects.

Absolutely beautiful, Daniel!
Thank you very much Laura 😊
This is very interesting to see the difference in blooms. Thank you for sharing this! 😊
Thanks Deb 😊 Took me by surprise when I came across it accidently so had to share 😊😊
I love both of these they are stunning I will be adding the dioxide to my shopping list lol
Thanks Kim 😊
Really appreciate your attention to details. Lovely blooms.
Thanks Gloria 😊
As always, your genius is appreciated. Thank you
You are very welcome 😊😊
Very nice. It actually looks like the gradation of colors found in real flowers.
Thank you 😊 It's a great combo for blooms 😊
Daniel, I thank you for this information. I have never seen anyone else mention the depth of the resin matters. This was a great experiment. ❤
Beautiful blooms! I'm definitely going to try using less resin. I'm also going to make some paste. I bought some titanium dioxide to mix with alcohol to spray on white tiles to engrave with the F1.

You are so welcome! 😊
Amazing results! Totally shocked that the one that has less in the mould turned out to be the better one! 😮 really love the centres.❤
Thanks so much! 😊 Yes, it's a big difference in the final design too, it's crazy!

go back and have a look at both again, the shallow one has a better 3D efect, giving a more realistic petal efect. nice one

Thanks Maddie 😊 I have never used that brand. Have fun creating 😊😊
The one in the shallower mold did look better to me.
Thanks 😊
It may have been asked, but could you add color to the finished white? To make different color pigment paste? And if so what would we use?
Would using a small brand new sieve work to break up the lumps in the powder before adding Part A or Part B (depending on the creator’s preference) be a better starting point, especially if you don’t have equipment at hand to pull all the trapped air bubbles out of any clumps, thus breaking the clumps up later? I only suggest a new sieve because it won’t have been used before on anything that could potentially have left anything on despite washing up.

33 C is the optimal temperature correct?
Yes, 33 is the best temp for this resin and others I have used so far, will be testing JDiction soon and Craft Resin 😊
@@daniel..cooperthank you so much!
Never to long a video.
Thank you 😊
This is very interesting. Wonderful results. What happens when resin expires? Is it just that it goes yellow?
Yes, yellowing is one but many other things can happen like changes in viscosity, poor curing and bonding etc. I will make a vid soon with some very out of date resin 😂
@@daniel..cooper thank you so much. I appreciate your knowledge ❤️
@jayelleart2194 very welcome 🥰
😘❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What if you added a little of this Titanium powder to an existing sinker white , and resin?
The sinker should then become a deeper Sinker 😊😊
Hi Daniel. I love watching your videos. The stuff you try out is brilliant. Just wondering where you are as you always talk in Dollars not pounds.
UK but 90% of my followers are US based
The expiry date is my birthday lol xx
😂😂🥰
The blooms are beautiful! I haven't tried a bloom yet but I will definitely be trying with the thin layer. Also, what is the name of the clicky pressure thingy that you use to pop bubbles? Keep up the wonderful tutorials. ❤
Thanks 😊 That's the Resiners Airless, you can see my review video #147 😊
Or did you mean the mini torch?
Oh sorry. I didn't realize it was an actual torch. I thought it was a pressurized device that gave a burst of air to break the surface tension.
