Hi, my name's Abi and I live in Japan. I love crafting, especially shrink plastic and resin projects! I first started crafting when I found a blog that made amazing food miniatures using only dollar store supplies! I was a poor high school student back then so it was perfect for me. I don't make clay miniatures as much anymore, but would love to get back into it soon! Please share any DIY projects you've been working on with me on any of my social media accounts! I try to reply to as much as I can ♡

I've been wanting to get into Uv resin for a while now but could never find a nice and helpful video until i found you! Thank you so much, this was incredibly helpful and I'm not that scared anymore.
For anyone especially beginners I advise going on aliexpress. You can tons of resin supplies for 20$. Its absurd how much you can get. I buy all my craft supplies from aliexpress. Those silicone tools come in a 3 pack with mixing cup for $1 depending on which seller u buy from. It take 23 days to get to you and it's the same stuff youd buy for mega bux anywhere else. I'm not sponsored by or work for this company I just really believe in getting more for our money. The sellers you buy from in the states all by from China. With Aliexpress your cutting out that middle man and his cut
i am doing the same , just with wish
takes a month to be here but i take a 10 pack of open bezels for 2 euros any time of day
the craftshop in the next town sells them seperatly for 8 euros EACH
its insane
@@zitronentee2302 I tried wish but for me in the USA Aliexpress is easier and cheaper
i tried buying from aliexpress but my orders never go through :(( it always says "order closed"
@@digitalm3ss I've had no problem with buying from aliexpress. All my orders have arrived. The only con is how long it takes to be delivered to USA.
Stephanie Delgado are you moving forward to the payment stage? If you just place the order and don’t follow through to the payment after, it won’t be fulfilled.
I love this! But can you PLEASE include the materials you used? Maybe from amazon?
You could find the materials at Ali Express.
@@dimitrova2023 Okay :) tysm
One thing that should be mentioned is safety. Despite the claims & labels saying resin is "nontoxic", it is NOT. Use nonlatex gloves, don't touch uncured resin & don't breath in the fumes it creates while curing. Use fans & open windows- you really want to have good airflow & not breath this stuff, especially while it's curing. And if you're chemically sensitive, you may want to find another hobby. Resin can also cause chemical sensitivity, worsen allergies & autoimmune conditions.
You also get a chemical respirator mask for working with organic chemical solvents or VOCs that will help protect you. An N95 mask doesn't do anything to protect you from chemicals.
There's a group on FB called "Resin is Not Your Friend" that has a lot of people & their pets that have sustained injuries & illness from exposure to both UV resin & AB resin. But they also have a lot of really good suggestions & recommendations to help ensure safety to you & your loved ones & pets in the home.
I'm not saying don't use it at all- just use common sense and be mindful about personal safety. ♡
Killin' me buzz, yo. Omg
So that's how you make your resin peices. So cool. This give me an idea on were to start!
Many lamps now a days are led and uv combinations so depending on what part of the spectrum the resin cures that'll tell you what lamps you can use usually lamps tell you in the description what the output. or how broad the spectrum is
This was very informative because I really want to start making resin crafts soon. 💜
They have resin starter kits for beginners.
Go on Aliexpress. It's crazy the amount u can get for dirt cheap and its quality stuff
🙋♀️Nail Tech, here. The difference between an LED lamp and a UV lamp is that the LED lamps have little pinpoint lights in them while the UV lamps have actual tubular bulbs (light florescent lights in an office).
UV resins sets hard at different nm {nanometers]. most 395nm so when buying UV curing light check nm output
Is this resin toxic? I have heard you have to wear some kind of mask when using it. Is there some type of resin you can use without the mask? Or that is not toxic?
For this particular resin you don't need to wear a mask since it doesn't have any strong chemical fumes to it but for the one you are referring to which is epoxy resin you will need a mask since the fumes from the epoxy resin is strong and also gloves so you can avoid any contact with the skin. I hope this is helpful for you if you have any questions let me know😄
Oh and this resin isn't toxic what so ever so you don't have to worry with any causes that can be harmful
Puti This is really helpful!
Thank you so much for taking your time to answer my question. I really appreciate it! ☺️🌸
@@mariiam9312 I recommend a ventilated area though. I just started uv resin today and without ventilation some smells can be strong
I would suggest wearing a mask and gloves as well as using the resin in a well ventilated area. My friend got sick from not doing so. Good luck!
Padico is extremely expensive to get here in the states. Over $100 for a tiny bottle.
...you can buy padico resin, pigment, and other various accessories directly from them and it's not that expensive. even shipping isn't that bad. not great and still a little pricey, but shipping starts at 935 yen to the US, so about $9-ish.
even on etsy it isn't crazy expensive. still not cheap but not $100 for neither resin nor pigment... so I have no idea where you're looking.
I buy my resin from aliexpress $2 for 25grams. I dont work for or am sponsored I just really believe in paying less.
@Jaz
"Padico is extremely expensive to get here in the states. Over $100 for a tiny bottle."
Um, no. Where did you even get this? The popular 25g bottle is $18-$20 on eBay with free shipping directly from Japan, while a U.S. seller on etsy charges $16 (not including shipping).
$100? What? Why?
Thank you for explaining the potency my uv has not being curing correctly on the bottom.and has warped I just bought a new lamp again cuse the regular look a like lamp didn't do anything so I bought a nai lamp 36w I hope it works cuse I have a giant uv resin bottle
It's hard to mess up with UV resin. Especially when using Padico because they're really high quality. I bought some really cheap ones about $5 for 60g and if you add (cheap lol) pigments to them, they immediately become tacky.
But I also checked another review who added powder pigments I think and they're still tacky, so....
Thanks for the tipz! Just got my stuff in.
Awesome Video! Thank you! I have 2 questions: can you preserve dead insects in UV Resin or will they like rot inside? And can you Put flowers straight inside the Resin or do you have to dry/preserve it otherwise before working with them?
You can definitely preserve flowers & insects but they must be completely dried before encasing in resin.
Thank You!!!
Can you please name the colored dye you use
Nice useful tips !
Paid $6 for a single roll of bezel tape. Found that the silicone mats do work well and the bezels won’t slide around. Purchased three of those for around $12 on Amazon. Also saw people use good quality masking tape and wax paper.
Can you tell me if you can you regular mica powder or regular alcohol ink to color the UV resin?
so theres no like extreme safety like with epoxy resin?
Do you have a video for how you use the shrink film and uv resin together. I have a project I need to cover to protect and hadn’t even considered it!
Thanks am getting uv resin for Christmas
I just bought some UV Resin and molds. I have watched a lot of your videos so hopefully I can figure this stuff out to make something cute for my family and my girlfriend for the holidays.
My UV Resin has ben stansing under an UV lamp for a day now, but it still won’t harden. How long does it have to be under UV light for it to harden?
maybe your hardener is not enough
@@cesarlee5074 Maybe, my UV light is very small.
Is your mild clear or colored?? UV resin will cure in clear molds but I've learned that when UV resin is put in colored molds it won't cure due to the UV rays being unable to get to the UV resin in the colored molds
@@DemonicBloop My molds are white/almost see-through. They don't have any special color. The UV resin just won't dry. Could I maybe set it out under the sun aswell as the UV lamp?
very nice tutorial! may i ask EXACTLY what the large lamp youre using is? i think you mentioned it wasnt led (and that it was 36 watts)? so it would have the bulbs correct? plz, if you can, let us know the maker and model? tysm! keep up the great work!! so fun to see ppl playing with resin! XD
Lorien's Craft Box: i just bought a small UV light, like the one you showed 4:43, and thanks to you I will Return it, and buy me a stronger one, will a 50w cure some 8mm UV resin? they're going to be tiny Eye balls for my stop motion, just don't want them to be all tacky kinda sticky, if you please give Ur opinion TY? and Ty for ur video.
Thanks for the video, really helpful for me as a beginner. Is there anyway to know how much resin you need for a project, E.g. to make jewelleries using the mould of about 10 to 12 pieces please?
Nice information
is it waterproof, like if i wanted to make a polymer clay figurine for a snow globe could i use this as a water resistant glaze
THanks...helpful..I will look into a more powerful lamp.
With the packaging tape does anyone know if you are supposed to put the piece of jewelry on the sticky side or the non-sticky side before filling it with resin?
Can I rest my bezel frame things on baking (parchment paper), whilst I pour the resin in before curing it? Would it stick to the point that I couldn't get the thing off, even when hardened?
Thank you,
Win Xx
Hi, awesome video, just a question... i really appreciate if you answer it. Is putting it under uv light for longer than 10 minutes make it harder?
I have like, MASSIVE questions about sanding? How do I make a piece in a mold without needing to sand or like, do I NEED to sand every time? Thanks!
Hmm, I never sand my pieces, I just try to hide lumpiness with extra doming lol
Be careful when sanding any type of resin and wear a 3M mask as sanding resin is dangerous.
Hi Abby, I purchased a 36 watt uv light from amazon, but I still get sticky resin and uncured leftover resin. What do you suggest I do? I have done thin layers and it still happens. Should I get a stronger lamp?
Can I use this outside in the shade? Or will it cure too early?
I have tried some uv resin, but there are some lines on it, What I do wrong as it does not become completely clear?
Do you ever have a problem with your resin peeling off your shrink plastic charms
Is a UV LED nail lamp the same thing as a UV nail lamp? I have been going through amazon and EVERYTHING i am finding is UV LED. I cant find anything that is only UV and don't wanna waste my money on the wrong thing. And can you go with too much wattage? I know you say 36W is good but I have seen some good deals on some higher Watt ones too.
Yes. UV lamps will take longer to cure than UV LED lamps (when you use UV LED resin) I've never used anything higher than 36w, but I would assume it would be okay??
Thank you!!
Are silicone tools good to use too?
I've never used them, but they'd definitely be easy to clean!
@@LoriensCraftBox Thanks for the reply! I have started using them and they are definitely pretty easy to work with.
you got your stick tools from putty cole, is that correct?
How long do we need to expose the resin to uv light for it to completely harden?
I found that my finished uv resin projects are always still slightly tacky to the touch no matter how long I leave them to cure, any advice anyone?
Your wattage may not be strong enough to cure thoroughly
I found mine wasn't close enough to the light source
Thanks that was interesting
Can I use the sun?
Yes, but it'll take longer.
Does it need to put gloves & respirator when using UV resin?
i want to know too can someone answer 😭 like if you use the UV resin but you don’t sand it or anything but just pouring it into the mold and cure it, is a respirator still needed? because i don’t have one i only have surgical masks😣
I just started using UV Resin, and my answer is Yes you need to wear a 3M Respirator mask and nitrile gloves. Normal masks only protect against particles in the air like dust, but Resin gives off invisible gas that gets into your lungs. A 3M Industrial mask with changeable filters from your local hardware store/on Amazon will protect your nose and lungs from allergies and harm caused by breathing in Resin. Also do your resin work with an open window so the gasses can escape. Use nitrile gloves so the resin doesn't get onto your skin, it can cause nasty itchy rashes. Safety glasses/safety goggles to protect your eyes too.
If you don’t mind me asking, what is the name of the UV light you use? I have been using AB resin, but with the winter coming, I wanted to try using UV.
any UV RESIN work with UV LAMP??
Is a silicone mat better than uv tape?
I've used both and the silicone mat definitely creates less waste. I like using tape too though cause I can easily flip the piece over and cure the backside without worrying about leakage.
Hi! Quick question about pigments, for liquid ones, can you use non-sugar food coloring, or does it have to be made specifically for resin?
u can, but use very very little or it wont cure completely. there are gel food colorings that work best for this actually :) but i bet you know about these! mostly, just know anything LIQUID will need to be used in very small amounts so that the resin can cure correctly. hope that helps! (and dont worry, the color WILL show even in small amounts like this! have fun everyone!
Can we use uv resin pigments/paint for epoxy resin?
Love your video! How long do the resin bottles last?
How long do you hold the up light over piece
5 minutes eachside
Difference in UV resin and the other resin ??
Can we use this resin on canvas?
You would need a big light and probably 2 days to dry.Depends on the size
What was your site for your pigments and powders?
Did you notice yellowing?
Great video you got my sub
when using silicone molds (for ashtrays) can we still use uv resin and cure it with a uv lamp? what’s the recommend watt for curing uv resin?
hxxrtthrob i think uv resin is for smaller things like charms and trinkets. You might want to use regular epoxy for bigger things like ashtrays
@@elyssasnyder2576 tysm! do you recommend any brand of epoxy?
hxxrtthrob Alumilite Clear Cast Resin!
Can u add materials what u have used
How long does it take?
For those tools if you want metal ones you can buy dental instruments
Good advice! Thanks!
bye, congratulations!!!! you're very good ... can I ask where you found the sticks to mix the resin? thanks 1000 ...
I got those same exact tools but they are silicone!!!!!!!
Make a silicon mould out of your tools and then Make your own resins tools
I have similar supplies... just messier.
Also, I checked out the resin review. Wow!
hey how to connect with you...any social media account?
In my links :)
Kya ye Hindustan me mil sakta he
Hey hun why just for small pieces? :)
Because I find that UV resin is quite expensive. If you have time two part resin is much more cost efficient
@@LoriensCraftBox thank you for letting me know ...I'm new so I have no idea :)
Can i have the heart one
Your art is good but you should learn time Managing. You waste too much time in explaining things everyone already knows. That makes you creep. I don't wanted to sound rude to you but i just can't stop myself.
This is a basics video made for people who do not know :)
I’m a beginner and I appreciate the knowledge. Your comment is obnoxious.
