Just a heads up Claire the jesmonite ac 730 takes a long time to cure properly you may want to tell your followers it’s cheaper but I’ve been leaving it overnight otherwise it breaks Nikki Hampshire uk
Woow Claire, I feel calm, collected, I feel like a better person after that video 😂😂😂. Absolutely amazing filming skills and instruction. Right, I'm off to have another bash!!!.... Slooowwwllllyyy! Namaste!
Gosh wish I had discovered the moulding latex as I do canvas tiles and there’s beading all the way around, I then have to use a heat gun and pallette knife to get them off but even then; I have to sand down to even out surface and it’s not perfect so I’ll use the latex on the edge and see how that helps, thank you ❤❤❤
These are stunning! I love using the liquid latex to protect the bottoms whilst doing a top layer, I also brush latex on the sides of my piece in case any resin drops off and decides to settle there.
Great video Claire, very beautiful and very informative. I watched it all the way through. I have a lot of catching up to do. I am new to the RUclips community, as well as Resin. I am a huge ResinCrete fan, and when it first came out here, in The US, I turned to your Jesmonite videos for guidance, you are brilliant, I adore your personality as well as your art. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Hello Claire I have just got the resin bug in the last couple of months and I am so impressed with your tutorials 👍👍 Absolutely fantastic and very very helpful. I am just about to order liquid latex from Amazon because a top coat would make my bloom coasters really pop. Thank you for all your time, effort and tips . You have shown me so very much in the last 24 hours. Thank you again .👍👍👌👌.
Claire, I have never topcoated a project before. Not because it didn't need it, but because I didn't know how to get a good result. Thank you so much for showing me how to do it. I love these coasters, and I am going to look for the video on how you made them. You are an amazing teacher ❤️
Thank you for this video! Your knowledge and also explaining where something goes wrong is what I love. I'm definitely going to get the latex. Thank you again, you're amazing 🥰
I was late as always but loved it. I will rewatch. Top coating is my least favorite thing to do. Thanks love you are a wonderful youtuber...(is youtuber a real saying. 🤔😏🤭) oh well you get my drift. Thanks Hugs Sheryl 💙🎨💙
Sorry I missed the live. This was so informative. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this process with us. You did an awesome job top coating💙
Hi Johnnie, I just saw your message in the live chat, and I replied but the live session was closed for comments. So I found you here. Enjoy the Give Away molds, enjoy creating and thank you for letting know you received them. It was pretty fast!
Thank you so much for sharing and showing your process. Great to know the reasons and background of sanding and topcoat! It was so relaxing to see how the topcoat revealed the flowers so clear and bright after sanding! Great job Claire, thanks xx
Another awesome and very informative video. I've watched so many videos to try to understand how to sand and top coat and I'm still confused. You made it very easy. Thank you. To prevent the Resin from running under I've seen some people use a doming mat. It seems to work. Haven't tried it yet though. Love the masking tape method you used on another video. Will most likely use that with the PVA glue. Thanks again for sharing.
🤣🤣🤣 Karen ... I only sand if there is an issue ....or if they need to be heatproof x honestly ! I only top coated these because I made them specifically to then do this video ... they didn't even need top coating xx 🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈 its not my first love haaaaaa
Ooh I’ve just bought some latex, for tip coating, I haven’t tried it yet! looks very satisfying! I’ve been learning how to use my cricut machine atm been quite fun.
Hi Claire, I’m gutted I missed the live but the video was great. You are truly an inspiration. Thanks to you I am just getting ready to order my first lot of jesmonite (as I can’t use resin) Hopefully see you on the next live and absolutely loved your coasters today.x
Hi! That’s such a good video. My table is not 100% flat and I really having issues that the resin running over to the back. I will try the latex! Also would you please share me the link of the mold you used to make the cup coaster? Thank you!
I have studied a dozen videos on this subject and yours are the best because you show and explain detail all along. Wonderful. I notice that the sides are not attended to at all. Is there reason for that? than you
This was so helpful. I’ve watched several tutorials trying to find a technique that works for me. I’ve been trying to figure out how to mask off certain areas of work and liquid latex seems like a viable option. I’m excited to try it. Great video!
Heyyyy Talia .. honestly I absolutely love the liquid latex .. people also told me to try school glue PVA but right now I will use up my latex before I do that x
I just sanded and top-coated some pieces yesterday. This morning, they had a few dimples in them, and the mica powder made a circle of changed reflection around each one. So, I'm gonna do it again. This time, I won't use a torch. I think that plated a hand in it. Oh - and I still think those coasters are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
heyyy lovely .. yes I totally found the torch made dimples in these too .. which is why I thought it best to add a tad more resin .. it is so frustrating to wait and realise a top coat didn't go to plan ! xxx
Wow Claire! These came out super beautiful! I have to say, top coating is the way to go, but like you, I truly do not like top coating!!! You can’t imagine how many pieces I have ruined due to topcoat. This video gives me courage to try it again. 😁. Thank you for bringing us such informative videos, I greatly appreciate you - and your wonderful personality! ❤️
Heyyyy lovely ... thank you soooo much I am so glad you found it helpful... I do not enjoy top coating at all !! Not one bit 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but filming ... did make me slow down and try my best to do it right xx it really is a pain haaaaaaa
Love the video. Another great excuse to use my Dremel!!! :) I have a question though. You take such care to protect the bottom of the piece, but what about the sides? It seems like if you have drips on the bottom, you will also have them on the sides. Am I wrong or did I miss something? Thank you.
I’m so excited. Sanding and coating is my life. Girrrrrrlllll…. How much caffeine does it take to make you to speak so fast? Ohhhhh they’re so pretty 😍.
Glad to see I didn't miss much (had to leave the live because my beautiful daughter turned up). They really are so beautiful, Claire!! I must get some liquid latex. xx
Liquid latex is such a life changer! I'd tried using masking tape originally and just wound up with shreds of it embedded under my now permanent drips 🙃
Question when you put the stuff on back of coasters to be topcoat. Is there a certain amount of time to get it off. I wondered if I could back more then I would top in one day and still get that stuff off back. I hope you understand my question. Hugs Sheryl 💙🎨💙
Heyyyyy Sheryl ..... no not at all .... you could back 50 coasters and top coat 3 months later ... it would still peel off the back xxx ❤❤❤ Just be aware that Latex .... sticks to latex .... so store them all apart or they will rip eachother off x
Awesome job! Great tips in this video! Do you know if that latex works on wood? Just thinking about how hard it was to get drips off a large wood round I did!
Heyyy girl .. thank you .. I absolutely always use Masking tape on wood. I dont think Latex would come off easly at all. Unless the wood has been sealed and painted maybe x When I work on Wood Rounds ... masking tape is the best x
@@ClairesCraftyCorner Ah, darn! :( Oh well. lol. I have used painter's tape, but I still had a heck of a time getting some of it off, even using my embossing gun.
I am lost , can someone please help???? I don't understand the rubber latex - you pour it on, then peel off? is it like a backing of sorts?? please be nice with comments I don't understand how that stuff works. Tnx
not much depending on piece. A final layer of resin could be seen as 2 things. The piece is still in the mould but needs a final layer - then it could also be seen as a top coat - done when you have already potentially de moulded. So technically could both be the same :)
Heyyyy Iris .... you absolutely can recycle it ... but not on future coasters as it won't stick ... you can use it for Halloween projects or Special effects makeup... xxx not very helpful for resin though x
@@ClairesCraftyCorner i have managed to get a bit in every room, light switch's the window of my back door and i do my resin in the same room same place for a yr now oh even got it on the on off switch of my phone so had to et new phone note to self while using glove when doing resin TAKE THEM OFF BEFORE YOU LEAVE WHERE YOUR DOING IT!!! its just luck that so far i remember to take the gloves off before i fo to the loo but im sure at some point i will do that as well but i sleep walk and cook make resin, trash bungalow etc i wish i would clean in my sleep bloody hate cleaning hahaha

Thanks sooooo much Petra .... so amazing to know it has been helpful xx ❤❤❤
Oooooooooooooh these are beautifully done x
Thankyou so much ❤❤
If you wet sand up to a high grit, like 8-10k grit to polish some blemishes, do you recommend going back to a 120 grit before a top coat?
Those are proper pretty! Awesome video 💜

@@ClairesCraftyCorner
Yes, thank you. We chilled a bit. xx
Great video! Thank you for your help!
If you let it drip it will make the edges shines and the whole coaster will be shiny and even.
Do you think it would be fine to use a nail drill to sand?
These are beautiful
Good video , well explained,thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful! thank you so much xx
loved this video amazing wk love them ❤

I was going to buy a counter top resin that takes 500° heat to make my coasters. Is that a good idea?

Great video. Thank you 😊
For top coating which liquid you are using
Thank you so much!!
Beautiful ❤ how do you fix a coaster that's overly domed?
Heyyy Tracy ... overly domed ? I would probably sand it right back ....
But more than likely I would leave it or sand the sides and flood coat it xx

Hi, are you using resin as the top coat? Or is it a special top coat for resin, thanks
heyyyy lovely - this is epoxy resin as a top coat yes. You can use most epoxy resins for top coating. Just not deep pour resins.
I’m confused, so you don’t rub it down again? Was it epoxy resin you used first? Thanks
You said not on deep pour resins? What does that mean, sorry I’m new to this x
Ahh I understand, so the mould I’m going to use is around 3 inches deep? Is that ok for epoxy?
@@leeiaprice7386 Yes - you will need DEEP pour resin for 3 inches :)
What is the difference between a topcoat and a final layer of resin?
not much depending on piece. A final layer of resin could be seen as 2 things. The piece is still in the mould but needs a final layer - then it could also be seen as a top coat - done when you have already potentially de moulded. So technically could both be the same :)
Can one recycle the latex?
Heyyyy Iris .... you absolutely can recycle it ... but not on future coasters as it won't stick ... you can use it for Halloween projects or Special effects makeup... xxx not very helpful for resin though x
@@ClairesCraftyCorner Alright thank you for the answer! Love the Coasters btw! 😊
@@IrisKarls thank you so much xx I'm glad you do ... and sorry my answer was not THAT productive 🤣🙈🙈❤❤
Top coat only epoxy resin or resin,hardner mix plz tell
heyyy lovely - you can top coat with most epoxy resins 2 part. The only resin that wouldnt work great is a deep pour.
Excuse my question but is the top coat resin as well?
Heyyyyy Estela, yes the top coat is resin too 😍😍😍😍
How to stay away from dimples in top coat 😅
why do i have resing on my window floor etc if it dont of where its never been ok im messy lol
