- This video is about Plaster of Paris in resin. I was really surprised what happened, I don't think I could have guessed the outcome in the end. I enjoy pushing the boundaries of resin and adding things to it to achieve a different effect. I knew what I was hoping would happen when adding Plaster of Paris to my resin, but not sure I was ready for this outcome.

The mixture with the resin and plaster of Paris is banging! Looks very smooth, perfect, and professional! Thank you for sharing!
Lovely porcelain look❤
Thank you. 😀😀
Wow. Perhaps a good way to cut down on the amount of resin we use? Resin is terribly expensive, so it'd be nice to see if this works. I wonder if you can color it with mica powders. 🤔🤔 You've got my brain going now! Thanks Steve!
Thanks for sharing. I love experimenting.
I absolutely love your experiments gone right or wrong! I also absolutely LOVE your torn up jumper! That is the clearest indication that you are an artist, rather like when you never, as a dancer, show up to an audition with a new pair of shoes. They should be worn and tattered or no one is going to believe you have put in the work you have. Artists are the same. An apron should be trashed, or a shirt, or whatever, all covered in paint, glue, resin, glitter and whatever else. Good on you!
Absolutely! It’s kind of funny to comment on his clothing when what he is doing is so absolutely cool, but that striped torn shirt is the bomb! I want one!
Never would of thought of this but after seeing this video I'm definitely going to give it a try! Thank you so much for the video! 😊
I just bought those molds, what a great idea for a faux marble look. Steve you’re a genius!!
Thank you for this! I mix sand into my resin for certain projects to give a little weight to some pieces and was planning to try something like your experiment! Glad to see it worked!
Thanks Steve!!!!!
I think it looks just like marble, fantastic idea and result with the plaster of Paris. Thanks
Looks Great.
New series: Putting weird stuff into resin 🤣👍🏻🤞🏻😊
Seems like a fun playlist... I'm addicted to this channel
I love that mould. I've got my husband a candle shaped like that for Christmas. Shhh! X
Um yahhhhh! Loving the figurine piece ..and that little bit of sand really set it off! The base you make is so simple yet so effective. Well done Steve 👏👏👏💯💯🌹🌹
It was such a surprise seeing the sculptural sample you made! Thanks!!! Super!!!
Very interesting Steve, I'd love to see plaster of Paris, in resin with a blue pigment, mica and translucent colour.
excellent, and in my mind, I'm asking the same questions as everyone else. This could be a game changer! Thank you!
I am going to try this for sure
Love the way the bust mold came out
What a fab finish. I will give this a go
Thank you I will use this
wow ! its almost like a homemade ceramic looks awesome !
Great ideas. Thanks
Thank you so much will try it soon
So awesome thank you
Very interesting 🤔 the bust looks good with the sand 😘
Works well. Thanks
Wow! The bust looks like porcelain! I love the effect!
Thank you for sharing! I have both and I'm making a pond for my mom recently passed and this is perfect! Thank you Thank you❤
Almost looks like marble. Pretty cool!
I love this--it looks so organic, like a sculpted piece of clay!
As much as I love it anyway, I think the addition of the sand is amazing!
nice polished look to it.
This is amazing ❤
Beautiful experimenting
THANK YOUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful! My craft motto has always been "let's see what happens if we do THIS!!" so I think I've found a home :) Enjoying the vids! Subscribed!
Nice!
Please give more information on how you mixed the resin with the plaster of Paris.... How much of each was used? How long to cure? Is there anything difference in the hardness? Or strength? Colors?
Love the look of the bust.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts Thank you for taking the time and effort to answer each and every one of my questions!!! I'm always interested in working with new things. I've learned SO MUCH from you. Thanks for sharing and teaching.
I am glad you asked this because I watched the video 4 times to see if missed the amounts lol. I was doing some other things at the time and kept thinking I just missed it.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts 💋😍
🤩 a really right great 👍
I love this idea, and yah, it turned out perfectly! It occurs to me that this is also a great way to save resin. The plaster adds enough bulk to the resin, I think, so you use less of it. (Less resin, I mean)
Any thing that saves using more resin is awesome to me!!
just brilliant idea and happy Birthday.🎈🎁🍰☕
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts Awesome that's what I ask for lol
Thats so pretty I like it I have a male and a female bust and now I wanna try this
oh my goodness Mr McD. Just when I think I may not need to buy anything further, you mix it up. each time I watch your videos, im yelling at Alexa to add the and add that to my shopping list whilst im watching lol. love ya x
Loved the experiment you did, was thinking how plaster of paris would mix in resin so this was really helpful. I don't think I'm quite experienced enough with resin yet to try this but at least I know it can be done. Thank you
Gives the bust an Alabaster look, cool :)
I really luv it
I have mixing powdered marble. I add some white, and slightly mix in some clear
Who knew? Definitely not me. Love the 'stone' appearance. Obviously I will now add PoP to my shopping list. (I use PoP when I create my own chalk paint. More than one use craft supplies - love it!) TFS!
Thanks for the vid! I found it bc I was trying to find info on apply resin on top of a plaster of Paris mask! I’ll have to try it
I think the bust look a little like marble. Or a finely finished bust. Very nice. VERY interesting!! Thank You!
Nice, I’ve never played with plaster of Paris but I’m intrigued
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts now that’s a great idea! I learn so much from your channel it’s quickly become my favorite, I like how it’s more educational than you showing us art technique (yes you also do that but it’s more like giving ideas)
Just the video I was looking for and it is by my favourite crafter. You are awesome ❤️thank you
Also could you do a plaster of Paris base with resin on top, Would the resin adhere to the POP?
Hahaha now there is an idea! I am still new to resin craft but want to try to make my.pieces stand out, you have given me so many ideas ❤️
Luverly.
It’s a great video. What is the ratio of plaster to resin mixture?
If you could you add small bits of black or grey pigment and draw a toothpick or thick needle through that I think it would look like a little marble sculpture.
Love this! Can I ask what ratios of resin to plaster to use?
just subscribed!! thank you for the tips,, i never thought about using resin and plaster of paris i can see that would solve a couple of issues one question though are you still able to paint the objects you cast/mold?? great video
Loved this video! Thank you so much 😍 I just tried it and so far no explosions 😂
This is great! Love the look buuuttt...... It raises more questions for me. Can you put colors in? How long did it take to set up, resin curing time? Can you increase the depth of the pour ( more than 1/4 of an inch)? This could be another trial for you. So many questions, and I am still going to try it. Thank you Steve, I enjoy your vids so much and look forward to them each week.
Ah! I have all the same questions. I’m going to do a deep but narrow pour and I’m going to leave it at least 12 to 14 hours.
I’m curious did this make it feel more solid as a piece like if you wanted to use it as a tray cast?
I'm curious! Have you tried experimenting and adding the other way around. Like doing the usual plaster of Paris mix with water, and then adding a bit of resin? I'm curious what It looks like
If you add water the resin doesn’t always set hard, it sets but a bit bends!
Water and resin doesn’t mix well….or rather doesn’t set well together. However I dont see why you couldn’t use an alternative that evaporates over time. ISO alcohol 70% maybe? I like the idea of mixing plaster and resin. Someone need to do some experimenting! Not it!
That was a great experiment. Thank you. Can you mix any color or just white?
Steve! That last coaster you made, with the opaque white that wasn’t completely mixed in, looked like marble! Maybe you could try it with a few different shades of white or grey?
Hi this is great. Just wondering if the plaster of Paris makes the casting heat resistant
That is amazing. Have you ever used plaster of paris with an acrylic gesso mixed into it to change color? I tried this and I don't know if it will weaken or strengthen the plaster?
I have one of those kits to make a paw print in foam and they advice to fill it with plaster of Paris afterwards. Do you think I could use a mixture of resin and plaster of Paris for it? The foam is obviously porous so I'm wondering if that would cause bubbles or if the foam would melt from the heat that the resin generates when it's curing. Do you have any advice on this?
Would be so interesting if you try a little bit of grey pigment to create a marble vein
Can you tell on which material epoxy should be used? because i have mould done with the help of moulding powder. will epoxy work on this mould?
Hey Steve! I just discovered you today and thanks for the great video! Quick question: I’m interested in doing this for life-sized skulls we are using to create a wall in a commercial tiki bar. The mold is silicone and relatively large-do you think that will be an issue?
Question will it still capture the details? For example im planning on making a mermaid tail and i wanna pour this mixture into my sculpt. And what is the ratio of the resin and plaster. Thank you. Please do enlighten me.
I spend most of my working day working with fibre glass and when we are low on Talc we have used Plaster to thicken the resin as a gel coat to paint into the Mould pre glassing..seems to work fine but it does add more weight than Talc...
nice
I want to make candle holders and also some molds for clay such as slump and drape molds what kind of plaster will do I'll be making cement ones too
How did it effects the strength of the pieces? Did it make the pieces brittle?
I came accrossed your chanle the other day i love what you do. If you would please help me. My question is , i bought a candle mold spraid it down with mold release but it was the dickens trying to get it out of the mold. Is there something i can try to help me get the candle out of the mold easier.
Love your videos. I may have missed it but what ratio of resin and plaster did you use?
Does it make it stronger/more durable?
I was wondering if pea gravel in perfect cast casting material would work as a filler, or would it break or be stronger, would it allow for details in your mold, do the rocks just fall to the bottom? What are your thoughts?
Is it make more stronger adding some mix in epoxy?
You really have a great idea here. The Resin is going up so much! could you mix those with silicone for molds?
Which resin filler gives the best durability and hardness to the resin? Thanks
I was just thinking about doing this and remembered I'm subscribed to your channel and as expected you beat me into it 😆 how long did it take to cure Mr. steve?
Awesome! What were the ratios?
I've mixed plaster and resin with resin pigments since 1979. So no surprises to me.
What type of resin used
Hi, I'm now learning about resin art.
When you say resin and plaster, does it mean you are not adding the resin hardener? I notice the stores sell a resin and hardener combo. Does this mean I don't need to purchase the hardener?🤔😅
Can you do a durability test with each material? ie. Plaster of Paris, sand, limestone, etc.
That's bloody brilliant mate! Am curious though, what ratio did you mix the resin and plaster of paris? That looks like a plastic gear repair that would be extremely durable. I just found your channel, and subscribed straight away, so I've a lot of your videos to peruse! :) Thank your for your work. Cheers from Kansas, U.S.A. and God bless. Rev. D.
Is it more brittle? can you nail it? I'm making a shoe last for shoe making, added some pop in it will save so much money, just wondering if it going to break easily
How would mica powder look in the plaster of paris and resin?
I tried to add acrylic paint color to Plaster of Paris and it weakened the plaster so much that the plaster crumbled. I am curious about your method of mixing resin with the plaster to strengthen the plaster mixture when acrylic paint is added. Based on your video it appears that the resin kept the plaster strong while also being able to color tint the mixture. I need pink plaster. There is nothing I am aware of that will color plaster pink except acrylic paint, which weakens the plaster, as I already mentioned. Is your method using resin and plaster and color going to do what I need it to do: plaster + resin + acrylic paint color = Strong acrylic paint colored plaster?
I really get drawn to your videos because I think that a lot of people are like me and scared to experiment on our own. I love seeing how these things turn out. It would be even better to know how durable these things are because I know that when you displace resin with other things (by adding things to resin, this is what you're doing), it creates spaces between the resin and causes the bond to be weaker and the piece can break easier. A lot of people work with resin to sell things made with it and durability is important for that reason. I don't actually use a lot of resin myself, I make and sell molds. But any information about different techniques with resin I can find is helpful because I can share it with my customers who have questions.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts that's a sweet offer, but I think I'm a bit too camera shy for that. 😁 I truly love your stuff. You're doing a great job. I recommended your channel recently to someone who asked about resin tutorials in a facebook group.
Not sure if I missed it but I mean like appearing the word resin but I never heard what the resin is it epoxy resin is it fiberglass resin?
Would you say epoxy + plaster is impact resistant? I'm more trying to use it for filler material and drill into it as well w/ some screws.
I'd really like to see the bust with more sand in it. I think it would give it a granite appearance.
Thanks for trying this out. Can I ask how much of the plaster you added to each resin. Sorry if you say in the video but I've watched a few times and can't hear how much. I only hear you say same amount in each. Thanks again xx
Hello and ty for this. So, are you mixing up the pop per instructions using water then mixing in the resin? Or did you mix the resin in as a water replacement? I didn't catch that part too well. Do you feel one is stronger than the other? What if you used a color other than white? I think it has a great effect. Ty
Hi, I am going through and reading all the comments. Someone else asked about mixing the pop with water per pop instructions, then adding resin, and the reply from a reader said resin does not set up right when mixed with water. I know that in the first batch with pop and resin, it was just the pop powder. The one with pigment added made it hard to see if it was powder or wet. So, I see why you asked the question.
So I'm a bit confused and video didn't show it. Did you mix water with the plaster of paris before you mixed with the resin, or did you add the dry powder plaster of paris to the resin? If you could explain a bit further it would be appreciated Thanks
Hi you must never have water with your resin to will ruin it. He just put in dry plaster into the resin. ☺
What is the ratio of plaster of paris and resin mix?
Have you got through the chemistry of this.
As the plaster needs water you actually use it only as a filler and having in mind that it's not cheap, you can use cheaper powders as flour , fine sand or marble dust
