![[Special Clip] ATEEZ(에이티즈) 홍중 'Why Do You Love'](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/I6XYXQKN_pY/mqdefault.jpg)
I've been using resin for about 4 years now. I've never used Ice Resin, I like Little Windows.
When a piece is a little sticky that usually means your mixture wasnt even and/or you may have put too many drops of the coloring in there. Also, if you don't mix it thoroughly that can cause the stickiness. LW asks you to mix for 2.5 minutes. I would definitely try the pearlEx powders. I've had issues with liquid coloring.
Also, LW only needs 24 hours to cure, I can actually handle it after 12 hours. But I had one that I tried the liquid color and it was incredibly bendy and a tad sticky. Eventually it got hard (took about 7 to 10 days) but broke with slight pressure.
With regard to the long silicone molds you were trying to remove, try some soapy water and it will slide right out. I fill up my in the sink with warm soapy water and I drop the molds in there. I let them sit for a bit then I move them around a tad.. then push up from the bottom.... they usually come right out.
Hope this helps.
I use LW too. Big plus, it doesn't stink
Art resin is supposed to be the #1 non yellowing resin. However I find maybe due to the thickness it leaves so many micro bubbles. In your experience, what is the best non yellowing resin that releases its bubbles? Yes....I find the powders to set nicely as opposed to the dye
Elizabeth Moriarty resin is thicker when it is cold so the bubbles hold more. It was most likely micro bubbles making it cloudy. If you have a heat gun you can run it over the top of your project to help release some bubbles.
Yeah I’ve noticed when messing around with measurement on liquid verses mica the liquid coloring has to be less than the Resin miX, other wise it takes weeks to dry if it even dries 🤷🏽♀️
I'm the
You're so humble and pleasant to listen to. Please stay the way you are.
I've noticed with a lot of youtubers, they tend to talk so loud and they are so hyper. Which can get extremely annoying. I love your videos. You seem so humble, funny and sweet. Thank you for sharing. :)
ditto! super refreshing!
I was 1 min in and thought the exact same thing. You have a very sweet and calming demeanor :)
Yessssss!!!! Thank you thank you thank you for not doing all of the ridiculous and stupid theatrics. Some of these crafters are brilliant but i just cant stand to sit through their idiotic behavior. I love how calm you are.
I take it back. Calling glitter herpies ruined it for me. Having my 8 year old, who is watching crafting vids with me, asking what herpies is ruined it for me!
So true... so calming... if I can't sleep, I watch your videos and let them run all night... so you have the profits of the publicity lol...
I just took a nice resin class which I wasn't looking for, but your sweet tone and great patience of teaching and learning at the same time, just hualed me into it. Thank you Yvonne, your videos are amazing!!
You have no idea how much fun I had watching you...reminds me of my first experience with resin. Be careful stirring when you add things to the resin. If you get some of that glitter or flakes to the bottom of the mold, it can actually stick out a little when the resin is cured. That's why you put in one layer and let it partially cure before adding things to it.
HI Yvonne. Clear Cast 7000 is flexible. 7050 is rock hard. :)
Ah, this is really good to know!! Thank you!
Good to know woe
@@backtoearthcreationsl 7
Thanks for the info. I didnt know flexible resin existed.
@@offairhead it doesn't. if its flexible it is not cured properly. Uncured resin is toxic resin.
Thank you so much for letting us (me) see this from the beginning to the final demolding/unmolding process.
Those pieces are so cool, especially the long pendant ones. Again, Thank you & Randy so much !!
I love you. You've wrapped everything. You're so versatile. I'm new and haven't strayed far from just rocks and cords.
You are so so so talented!!! My first ones were neat, but NOTHING as good as yours!!!
1) could be too much of the dye
2) ratio could be off for the part a and b
3) just wait longer before taking the casts out of the molds
3) resin likes to be in temps of 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit
4) for the longer molds, pressing up from the bottom will help
5) practice makes perfect. When I started, I had stuff come out like yours. After doing a few pours, you get the hang of it.
You are so easy to listen to and so kind, witty and optimistic ❤
Thank you so much!
It's a learning experience so enjoy as you go. Don't sweat the small stuff. I'm sure everyone who first started had some that bend and had bubbles and many other little things that were not perfect but it's the joy in experimenting that you never want to lose. Great job.
Honestly i like the effect the glitters gave with the flakes for that dark blue rupee!! Almost a star-like effect
Resin scientist.....I know they look a lot better in person but some of them are so cool & beautiful.
This is where I found you. And now I cant stop watching.
Its likely flexible due to the transparent color additive. If it is still tacky, best way to fix it is by applying a coat of UV Resin and cure it to get a hard finish.
I like those crystal molds too. Very unique. Interesting.
The blue emerald cut gem and the lilac shiny gems were my favourite! Thanks for sharing x
Love your energy, your ideas and your laugh 😊 great to watch thanks for sharing
Everyone freaks when they have bubbles, I actually like a lil bit of bubbles it adds character. I do heat gun some but I don't stress to get them all out
I like the bubbles to..
To me bubbles look like the maker didn’t try very hard lol I’m a perfectionist
@@CHloE748 poor sweetie... always living under pressure...
You are so fun and easy to listen to. I love that this is the first video of yours I've seen and I can't wait to see the next one! Way to go girl, but I'm hooked on your creative mind. Bravo 👏
Thanks for another fab tutorial! I love that you experimented with adding glitter, pearl-ex etc, I was worried the resin wouldn't cure, so hadn't tried it myself yet. Keep up the great work! :)
Totally enjoyed this tutorial from star to finish! Think I’m going to create some gems! Thanks,Yvonne!😊
Love the nerdy numies molds
Those resin crystals are gorgeous, Yvonne. Love the color choice.
Very nice getting into other materials. I like your first batch.....
I love playing with resin. You will just love it, keep playing with it.
Just some ideas Yvonne. Give Alumilite dyes and pigments a try. More expensive but very high quality and concitrated. Last forever. For lost heat option get a low heat heating pad for reptile aquariums. Put your molds on the heating pad, cover with a cardboard box and cover box with small blanket or towel. Leave overnight. For removing bubbles get a cheap small blowtorch from Harbor Freight and quickly pass over the molds. Have fun!
A few comments to this video indicate that you may not have the prober mixture which is why the resin is a little flexible. The instructions you read said "equal parts by volume" while you did equal parts by weight. I have done a little resin pouring also and it seems that volume is more important. My instructions also say that you may end up with more of one than the other when the bottles are finished and that this is normal, even if you are measuring correctly.
Hi Yvonne, I've done a lot with resin and a.Inks. Gold and silver inks sink to the bottom and don't work well. The secret is to use a small amount of white layered with the inks. There is also a great mini donut silicone mold I use a lot for donut beads. Great work.
I really appreciate this type of thing, as I'm a newb to resin too, but have so many ideas in my head, and a huge stockpile of various things to experiment with. Just need the gumption to GO now. lol. Thanks!
Hi! I really enjoy watching your video so much! Someone made a comment about you and I totally agree...I adore your courageous and gutsy willingness to try anything way about you and you are so sweet for taking the time to experiment in front of the camera for so long...I’m so annoyed with these “let’s get this video done as quick as possible”...LoL I literally feel like I am hanging out with you as if we were on a Zoom call...LoL I still have a few minutes left to go which is why this comment is in the now and not afterwards. I really hope you make more videos with resin so very much! I totally want to get my supplies all ready, put your video on and make resin projects with you! I can’t wait to see how everything turns out! Please be safe+happy+healthy!!!
It is so funny that you mention your neighbor's music. I've noticed it on other videos, and was going to ask you what the music was, LOL! I wish I had a neighbor that played nice relaxing music like that! I love your sharing/teaching style!
I just started with Resin to dome my polymer clay cabs. I use what's left to experiment with. Love seeing you try this stuf. You've given me lots of ideas to try the next time. Thank you.
Being tacky is usually either curing temp, ratio, or amount of color/moisture in my travels. I havent used that particular resin, but they are usually either by volume 1:1, 2:1 etc or by weight. If you mix a weight ratio resin by volume, or vice versa, mix will be off. The hotter it is the faster it cures, colder is slower or not at all. Also adding too much liquid will throw it off, even if its made for resin. Looks like the red you have is the transparent vs opaque one, so maybe for this resin the amount you want for the color will throw off the ratio, adding some extra hardener should make them cure better in theory. Some brands are more sensitive than others to moisture. Matte inside mold=matte finish, gloss inside mold=gloss finish. Sometimes the tacky or bendy ones can be left to cure longer and will harden. You can also save them with another layer of good resin on the outside. If you use a warm bath on the bottles they will be more liquid than syrupy when mixing and cure faster because theyre warm The larger the batch the quicker it will cure as well. It can be quite a surprise when you are used to a certain time and try a bigger batch and having it go off in the cup before you are done. Bubbles on the back can be popped with flame. I am still fighting with bubbles against the mold or inside. I tragically tried vacuuming, letting it rest after mixing, longer cure and shorter cure resin with no luck so Ive given up an am going to make a pressure pot. Some people can manage without one, but I need to be quick, batch and not fight so pressure pot it is. Any poly propelene( #5 maybe #6 or pp in recycle symbol) work well for mixing cups and resin will peel out of them, so if you buy food in plastic things they can be reused for resin. Apologies for the ADD post typing while watching. Yeah you mixed by weight later in video, read to be by volume, likely why they are bendy and tacky. Get a paint or medicine cup with marks on side, or you can just make your own on 2 cups, they just need to be the same heights. Pour to line on cup instead of weighing and it should be good. Says equal parts, so 1:1. Min is 50g so minimum 25g a to 25g b, usually in 2 separate cups the pour each into 3rd cup and mix then pour into a 4th clean cup and mix again. I dont alwaya do that cuz Im lazy, but if you have problems after trying by volume its troubleshooting.
When I mix in powder I take a small amount of b and mix powder in it on a teflon/craft sheet with a small spatula/pallet knife until smooth. Then scrape that into rest of b, then mix a and b.
A blob of clay works well holding the pieces in place while they dry. I resin large projects and a torch works great for getting surface bubbles out.
I saw a tutorial Von that said when unmolding use a drop of dish soap and water to the top of the crystal and it really helps with the unmolding!! Gorgeous work for an amateur lol! It's hard to believe that you are a novice about anything!!
Karen Leigh Yes, That is what watched on another video- she put Dawn dish soap in water and dipped the mold in then rolled it between her hands which works the dish soap in between the mold and the resin piece, and hers came out easily.
With light weight flakes, you can use a fluffy paint brush to pick up one or a few flakes & tap your finger to drop them in.
This is totally 10x better than any polished [ie, heavily edited] 'How To' out there which ONLY demonstrates everything working 'first time' [not saying that's all 'How Tos' either].
I've little to no interest in actually resin moulding myself, this video came along via AutoPlay, totally giving it a like though ...
You had me laughing, because I can see me going thru something like that! I was talking to the computer, at one point, telling you to dip it in the water solution. I love it when people are just being real! God bless!
You can make a batch of clear resin and pour a layer, then after it dries, mix up another batch and add your glitter or pearl powder. When it dries, it appears to have a tiny bit of magnification and the colors really do pop nicely. Something to try while experimenting as well, since you mentioned your place is cold, you can warm up the resin in a pan of warm water (set both bottles in the pan) and it will be easier to work with and also have less bubbles. You can also use a long bic lighter for fireplaces, to gently torch the resin after pouring and it helps get rid of bubbles. Thank you for all of your hard work and sharing your process, I love your vids!
After you fill the mold, tap the mold container 2 or 3 times on your table to bring the bubbles to the top and disappear. Very interesting video.
This looks like such fun!
Sherri, it really is!
My vote is for the alcohol ink ones - I think they are more rich looking. Thanks Von, I learned a lot!
I came here to see the project, I stayed and liked because your voice is so cute, and your just a doll.
Might try setting the molds up higher to set ... Top of fridge maybe ... Warmer near the ceiling ... That's where I put seeds to sprout ... Maybe up in Azmyths room ... Heat goes up ... They will make nice windows for fairy houses especially since they are tapered ...I would trim that bigger drop mold ... At least the big end of it ... The holographic flakes look like Australian opal ... A double pour, clear, glitter then black would look awesome ...
First let me say that I love your videos! You are the sweetest and most lovely person I've "met" in a very long while. Secondly, I have those crystal molds you are having such a problem getting out. I have to say they annoyed me so much I just stopped even using them! However, I used baby oil to get them out. Put a couple of drops on top, twist it around to let the oil seep down into the mold (down the sides) and then mash on the bottom part until it just pops out. Still annoying, but much easier on the hands! Thank you for sharing yourself and your personality!
I'm a complete beginner myself. I was watching another youtuber and they were saying the type of resin they were using was a little flexible until it completely cured and that took 2 to 4 days for it to become absolutely hard. Maybe that's the type you are using.
Right on, June! I think the problem was that I mixed by weight instead of volume, but what you described has happened to me frequently as well!
Von you made my day, especially at 41;40 I cant stop laughing...thanks for a great tutorial!
Artifacts nRelics And I love how that DID NOT get edited out! Perfect! LOL
yvonne thats what we say about you lol how does she do things so easy the great thing about you is that you let us know you are still learning too
Oh gosh this is 5 years ago. Oh well I’m sure no one monitors comments anymore. I wanted to know what the name of the little sampler of glitters was called. Looked through transcript and tools link list but didn’t see a link for them. If ya stumble upon this comment and can remember that far back, awesome! If not no sweat I’m grateful for yet another great class.
Thanks Traci B
The blue resin gems look sort of like tiny aquariums, maybe you could add tiny fish next time after dropping blue dye into the molds. the green ones remind me of a terrarium maybe add tiny little plants and grasses. Just a thought. I love your tutorials. Thanks again.
Now combine your idea with UtahGmaw99. She could have little fish in resin gems to put on her mermaid/Capricorn costume. :o)
If you use an embossing heat gun just after you pour your resin it will take the bubbles out of it. Don't hold it on there to long. Hope that will help.
🎉These are great! You are very inspiring!😊
I am new to resin, waiting for products to be delivered. I was worried about demoulding those small crystal moulds with having arthritis in my hands, if you struggled maybe I should give them a miss. Not a problem as there are SO many other moulds I can use. I’m a huge fan of Pebeo paints, hadn’t thought of finishing the back of the resin with them but it’s really effective. Love watching your videos, you have a lovely voice and your tutorials are down to earth and real......no none sense 👍💕💕
Those silicone tray molds are like the silicone cake molds. May be cheaper to get than the craft ones and offer so many opportunities!
I found that when I added inks to resin that was already in the molds, it left areas of sticky mess. So now I mix my colors in well, prior to pouring them into the molds. They cure completely and I like the results much better. The ones that were sticky, I cleaned off the parts that didn't finish curing as much as I can, and after three or four weeks, I can still get a mess on my hands. Some are nearly dry and the ones which hardened, I can use washi tape or something to embellish the project.
Hi Yvonne, I really enjoyed this video , thank you so much sharing how to work with resin .
Fantastic video! So fun to watch you experiment with the resin. It is easy to get addicted lol. I haven’t used the resin you have but I have been working with ICE Resin for several years. I design jewelry and the ICE Resin is a jewelers grade resin. For the pieces you had that were still flexible they just might need to sit and cure a little longer out of the molds or it is possible the additives (inks, dyes, paint) ratio was more than needed. But if after a few days if the pieces haven’t fully cured you can apply another layer of the resin and then they should be just fine. If you add acrylic paint for more of an opaque look don’t water the paint down just add tiny amounts. Toothpicks are a great tool for working with resin. Also, get some small cups to mix your resin when coloring it. For the pieces that have a matte finish take a paint brush and add a thin layer of clear resin to top to make them shiny. If you have a piece you don’t like the look of try sanding the whole piece with a very fine grit sandpaper. The piece will have a cloudy look to it like sea glass. This look is also really cool if the piece has mica or opals in it-it will have the flash or glow look. If you sand it and don’t like it add resin on top again for a shiny look or paint it. For inclusions-you can add some metal charms, embellishments, jewelry pieces but brush some resin on the pieces before putting them in the molds-doing this will help cut down on bubbles. Don’t add flat back crystals they lose all dimension in the resin and have a flat look to them-not pretty lol. But rhinestone or cup chain looks great in the resin. I can’t wait to see what you create with all of your beautiful resin pieces! TFS! Hope you have a wonderful day! 🌺💐🌸
Oh I forgot to mention if you like the looks of the flakes try adding some gilding flakes. They are so pretty in resin. 🌸💐🌺
I can't wait to see more resin work from you
Those look so cool. I'm going to be trying resin art for the first time. I'm glad I found your channel. The warm soapy water is a handy tip to release the items from the molds. Thank you 😊 I saw one video where someone used the flame of a BBQ lighter to skim over the resin to get rid of bubbles. Just be careful not to melt your molds.
This video was good, and cute, and fun. Good to see another beginner and see how things turn out and that there are challenges for everyone!
It is entirely too long and needs to be broken up into several different videos.
Considering that you did some distinctly different things, the breaking points should be easy and make it easier for you to sort and maintain and update and such and for people to watch when they don't have time for a whole feature-length movie. 😉 Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the soap and water trick definitely trying that....I'll use a dropper
There all beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I use clear molds but that's cause I use UV resin. No mixing. I like that. The clear molds makes it easy to flip it over and hit the back with the UV lamp as well. No sticky that way. They do have different kinds of resin tho. The soft type resin says bendy for rings and such. Learning that I can use clear resin as a glue has opened my world. So much fun!! Love your work. Good luck sweets.
Thank you for the great advice!
Heat your 4esin first with hot water,spray alcohol in mold for better release
34:09 - "Mix equal parts by VOLUME." And you proceed to measure by WEIGHT. There could be a huge difference, depending on how much each part weighs per ounce. I only mention this for other beginners and to point out that that's why your first batch may have all been soft and not fully cured. But you did some cool experimenting.
YAAAAY...little scoops at work!
Sorry for the comment spam....but you could sift the silver flakes to get the tiny glitter out of it.
Easy way to get air bubbles out is to shake them while there wet still. If you gave a massager you can use it to vibrate the table your molds are on it will get the bubbles out
Tip for any beginners watching this. If your resin is still bendy like this, just leave it alone. If you fight it trying to release it from a mold in this condition, you will have squish marks and finger prints and all kinds of bad stuff in the end product. In the winter or in a cold work space, it will take much longer for the resin to cure.
for those long tall resin molds i usually poke a hole on the bottom with a super small needle and cover it with tape when using it
Amazing experimentation, thnak youf ro taking the time to do this and show us :) You have inspired me to used resin for jewelry-making. Thank you!
You can put foil down in your mold before opting your resin. I like to put flowers in my crystal molds. I use a 2 part resin and if I add any liquid I add just a touch more hardener. Pearl ex and glow in the dark polish works amazingly well too
alcohol inks too
Also to eliminate bubbles, as soon as you por your resin into the mold, skum the tops with a lighter. I use a BBQ lighter. The heat breaks the bubbles.
I'm mixing the different colors of alcohol ink gives you an absolutely amazing effect
I just found your show and I love it thank you
Yvonne, could you try mixing a drop of yellow, orange, and red, along with some of the pearlex powder in one of the crystal molds? Sort of a fire style crystal.
I agree with the other commenters that your ratio is likely off, or it's the temperature. It also could be humidity, if it's fairly humid in your home. I personally prefer to use a no-mix resin, like a UV resin that cures with a UV light.
i use a little dab of oil a rub it into the mold. Tap a paper towel over it to get any excess . it makes it easier to slide resin pieces out of the mold.
so many natural crystals have the color at the bottome and less at the top or vice versa i love the ones that the color puddled in the point so nice!!!!!!!!
They are so pretty. Thank you for sharing.
Temperature is set the issue with the stickiness and flexibility. The warmer the better.
Thanks for the tutorial ... would love to see how you make the long thin resin crystals into Pendants ... thank you !
Oh my goddd this video is soooo relatable 😆 struggles of starting off with resin.... I started just few days back and all got sticky and nasty and I felt like I am go a destash my resin supplies and never try them again ... but after watching this I wanna try once more ...may be I can rectify my mistakes 🙂 thank youu for sharing this video
I have that mold I brought the pioneer woman pot set and grabbed her mold also I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE HEART MOLD ITS LIKE A PUZZLE 🧩 TOO YOU CAN PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER
Hi Yvonne, new to your channel & LOVING IT very much. Wanted to let you know that I read through ALL COMMENTS before I comment. I ordered molds about a month ago & can hardly wait till they get here. The gems are great. Getting the long ones out of the mold I though of using an eye dropper with the soap & water but a few people commented that & I didn't want to duplicate so I thought of a couple of other things to try. A syringe type meat injector might as the needle is fairly long & you might want to file down the tip to dull it to keep from poking a hole in your mold. By using the injector you would have more control of the pressure you apply over just using the eye dropper. Also I agree on the mixture A & B use equal parts of each by ratio. I would also suggest that instead of doing your stirring of colors (dye, ink, mica etc) I would stir them in the small medicine cups then pouring into the mold. That will keep the resin off the sides of the mold & you won't have to scrape it making a crisper edge then push your glitters down with a skewer or toothpick. I hope that helps/works for you and me cause I'm going to try it when I get my molds. Keep doing these videos you are really wonderful, creative & talented. What state do you live in? I'm in Missouri.
in the crystal molds I have put little flowers from the yard in and then pored the resin in...they turned out cool
Forgot...there is one other way to avoid air bubbles but I doubt you have it. I have a vacuum chamber and, when I pour the resin I put it in the vacuum chamber and that eliminates every single bit of air. When you take it out of the vacuum chamber, pour it very very slowly or you will get more air bubbles. The heat is the easiest way to bring the bubbles to the top and pop them. Whoever told you it was easy had lots of experience with it. It is easy for people who are used to working with the stuff. The first couple of times it is NOT easy. Just remember that, if you want to put glitter, a charm, or anything in what you make, pour a little resin in the mold and let it partially cure BEFORE adding anything. Otherwise, it will sink to the bottom and your item won't be so smooth and shiny. Once it partially cures, add whatever you like and then finish filling the mold and poke whatever you have added to make sure it is partially stuck in the first layer so it won't decide to float to the top if there is air under it.
Hi Yvonne, making chess pieces many years ago with resin the stickiness was caused through not mixing the resin and hardener for long enough, normally it will say on the container but add a few mins longer, to remove the pieces from their moulds I used a deep roasting try half filled with washing up liquid and hot water emerging the pieces for a few mins they came out easily, superb crafting Yvonne :)
I use ice resin. It is only flexible if it isn't cured correctly, or, if the mix is off. I use Everything from acrylic paint, to alcohol ink, to liquid dye inks to color my pieces. #1 importance is Mix exact, stir slow 3 minutes, and let it sit for 5-8 minutes b4 pouring. Has a 45 minute working time... and, I pour paint with it too.. I am Sure you've learned a lot since this video... I didn't see when it was made.. I just happened upon it.
Saw this fact online. Might be your problem. Resin casting requires a warm room. Room temperatures in the 70 F range are ideal.
For the long thin molds, I slip a flat toothpick or coffee stir stick down each side, and then grip the loop with pliers to pull it out. Works like a charm!
I Know this is a old video but it's the first time I have seen this, if you lightly brush your molds with house hold oil before pouring your resin it comes out easier, it may depend on the resin, if you want to experiment with that it might make life way easier
Resin can take up to 72 hours to completely cure. The thinner the longer to cure. That’s when they are the hardest!
Very, very cool! I love your process, a fellow You Tuber Peter Brown has a "Dip It" series on his Shop Time channel , he dips ordinary things into resin with some pretty neat results....and fails, it might inspire you
I'd really like to try this. My daughter found some mummified frogs and lizards at work 💜
I am rolling I swear!! Lmao .... 3 what dips? Lmao 😂🤣🤭
DebraLynnP use BABY OIL instead of soapy water....to release your crystal molds...and then wash the baby oil off with icy cold water....
That was so cute so funny!! I love how she giggled after😂😂
To level out your pieces when it's irregular try pushing it into some of that floral foam that you arrange a fresh flower bouquet in. It will mold exactly to the shape.
When its cold in your house just allow an extra 24 to cure the same goes for when it hot it will cure faster my problem is the latter here in Texas!
Remember, its mix by "volume" not "mass" which is likely why its flexible. 100g of the lighter hardener is likely more volume than the heavier resin.
Another one to watch is little windows, it's awesome. She sells these little tubes you can place in the mold that make holes, I haven't used mine yet but look awesome. Wendy on toonpish sells droozies
these turned out beautifully! the reason you had problems with them being bendy and sticky is most likely due to your using weight to measure "equal" parts rather than volume. Although there are some types of resin that can be measured by weights, this bottle specifically tells you that it needs to be by volume. This usually means that an equal volume of part b will weigh significantly more than the same volume of A, which is going to throw off your mixture. did you notice that one poured more easily than the other? that's because one is thicker and therefore heavier. ALWAYS use the measurement type the resin's instructions call for.
btw, I always love your tutorials! you sound a lot like me, both in voice and in mannerisms! XD
Les clusters se démoulent très bien dans de l'eau savonneuse, j'aime bien ce que vous avez fait 😊
