RAINDROP Effect Using ONLY Epoxy! | Water Drop Technique in Resin

- Can You Do the RAINDROP Effect With ONLY Epoxy Resin?
Ever since I did the raindrop/water drop technique with resin I’ve kept wondering whether it could be done with ONLY epoxy resin. In my two previous videos I used UV resin to make the resin “water drops” which worked perfectly. But with epoxy resin, the fact that it takes so long to cure means that the resin could spread and it becomes one giant blob!
Another question I’ll be trying to answer in this video is “Will the epoxy resin damage our mold and leave an imprint from the resin ‘water drops’?” If you guys saw my other videos you know that the uv resin I used left imprints on my molds damaging them and now every time I use those molds my pieces will have the water drop imprints. P.S Luckily there is an easy fix. A nice thin layer of epoxy resin (doming) over that area should hide those imprints or any other blemish you have on your resin pieces.
I hope you guys find this video informative and be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss any future resin crafting videos! Thank-you.

hey hun, so i've had those imprints before too. First of all, i believe that is blue interference pearl. Secondly, whenever you have resin on silicone and put mica on that silicone and do a pour over that, you have a powder layer on your silicone. When you pull it, what i have found is i still have a thin layer of mica on my mold and where the resin was... its like a mask or a tape effect if you will. try wiping off your mold. during your next pour you shouldn't see any marks, they usually aren't a permanent thing. Hope that helps :)
Absolutely agree…. Wash mould in warm soapy water before next use, and no issues whatsoever ive found.
I couldn’t agree more
I found the same, and the marks disappeared after a wash in warm soapy water and then allowing it to dry. I put it down to the different resin contact to the mold where I had mica powder compared to straight resin.
the residue of the mica powder is what's making your molds look stained....just fyi
I agree
99% isopropyl should clean it up.
I would love to see a version of the raindrop effect with a lighter color underneath! i think the black looks cool but i would just love to see what a glittery pastel would do!!
Absolutely 100% the blue is an interference color! These came out so lovely! I’m so happy I found your channel!
I've always made my raindrops with epoxy resin, cause I hate uv resin with a passion lol. Just need to let your resin thicken up before you start you raindrops or patterns. It does work with a bottle but not the needle tipped ones unless you remove the needle tip to accommodate the thicker resin.
These are so cool! At 4:04 if you like at the mold on the left, there is a THIN smiley face!! I thought that was neat
I don't know if someone has said this, but why don't you try putting a thin layer of clear epoxy resin where you're going to do this technique. If you do this before you do the rim, (if the mold has a rim) you can just have the rim go up to where the dome is. I think this might save your molds from getting marked by the resin "droplets", because that clear layer of resin is being used as a barrier. It might be better to try this with a flat mold like these before you try one with a rim though, that way you don't have to worry about you accidentally having the resin drip down the side.
I’ve found washing with warm soap and water takes those imprints off. It’s the micas that stain and cause that effect but washes off. Also might spritz the mold with alcohol and wipe it clean also. Those are some really AWESOME raindrops! I think they are both very cool. 😊
It does work if you put a thin coat first. I did try it but aim not a you tuber lol
ooo thats good to know!!
I find that the mica leaves a slight film thats whay you get the marks but a good wash woth soap and water and they go away
I like the deminsion in the first set. This second set seems more like lotus flowers.
I would like to see a test on applying a thin epoxy layer and letting it set to until "tacky" and then applying the epoxy rain drops and so forth.
I'm personally looking for depth and deminsion. And while these coasters are nice, I'm more likely to try to put my finger in the holes the raindrops project. 😂😅
Now, pardon me while I go double check my channel subscription. 😉
I think they both had great rain drop effects!! 💧 Some people would really like the silver and black with a touch of lavender look! 💜 When you do the light layer of resin, I wonder if super light would work, like paint it on? You could try two different ways, a very light layer and a bit heavier layer. Great experiment!! 👏👏
I was thinking possible really light, a millimetre or less if possible. Just enough to create a barrier for the resin droplets. I hope you had a lovely 4th of July!! 🎇
@@JBKonsCreations Thank you!! 🤗 We did!! 🇺🇸
Considering the mica stuck to the back of the water droplets almost as well as the mold itself, I cant se an issue with it, but it would be an interesting experiment
The blue mica one is gorgeous! The lavender is pretty too but I get it, if that’s not what you wanted 😊
Lilac is a very pale purple with a grayish hue, so that's why it looks like that. I think it's gorgeous! But I love silver, so....
I think its the grayish hue that I don’t like lol.
I am a paper crafter. The mica that you are using looks like the container for the Stamperia metallic pigments. It has that small type of container, and are very vibrant colors. Used with the beeswax on your finger, can be used to highlight resin. It comes is 6 colors, and take a very scant amount.
Beautiful, and the colors are so cool. 😮
Can you try this same technique with holographic powder or maybe very fine glitter? Can this technique even be done with glitter? 🤔
By the way, BOTH pieces you made were awesome and you should definitely get more of the blue powder because it's gorgeous!❤️
That blue is absolutely stunning. I thought it was maybe a blue ghost mica? Not sure, though? Maybe you could try it out in a small mould with a white pour. If its a ghost powder, these look amazing when the light shines on them. The lilac would have looked better if it was a warmer shade. I've only used uv for this technique, with a black pu pour. Looked great when it was first done, but a few months later, the drops developed rings around them. Thank you for sharing x
ooo I’ve never heard of ghost pigments before.👀
The mica will stick to the clear layer fine. Think about how youbdid this one - the mica stuck to the droplets, which is clear epoxy. So will stick to a clear base. However - i suspect the marks you are seeing is just because the mica didnt touch the mould under the droplets but was everywhere else. It is likely just mica residue which can be cleaned off.
Had a thought and came back to say. Try using a pipette to do the drops. Might work better. But will be interesting getting the epoxy into the pipette if thickening already. If need to draw it up before it thickens too much, putting the moulds onto a heat pad would then help prevent too much spread, otherwise let it thicken a bit while in the pipette after drawing it up. Or... put it into a small plastic bottle (like using with a precision tip but leave off the tip) and squeeze out small amounts slowly, like you would dispense the uv resin.
Looks like an irradecent powder (blue Micah powder).
As a nail tech we would rub the bubbles in one color and the base in another color to make the bubbles pop.
the drops look more like craters-so can you still use the coasters they were in?
I just now found your channel, yea! These coasters are really cool 🌺
The blue one might glow. My favorite.
Try putting rain drop’s on your frog or a turtle you will enjoy the look .
Use a glue gun to make the frames of the coasters, cheaper and easier ❤️
Turned out beautiful
Love your work ❤️❤️
You ever use a heating mat? Even with regular resin, on these thin molds we can often demold in 3-6 hours (depending on the mold) We are also impatient so.. haha.
Haha yesss epoxy can take a long time! But I have yet to buy a heating mat, Im worried about air bubbles getting trapped🤔
@@JBKonsCreations True. We've kinda always used one so im not sure how it affects bubbles releasing or not releasing. Plus the cheap mats tend to bend/bubble up and then dont lay flat, we bought a higher dollar tempered glass resin heating "table" and it works great, but not a big area to use on it. We have however been able to retrofit one of the mats with some 1/8th glass to make it lay flat and it heats up well through the glass. I think they have their use but probably not for everything, we also have a vacuum chamber and vac the resin REALLY good so that may be why I havent noticed to much?? Aw, well. Looks like you do some great stuff, nice to watch others and get inspiration.
This is so cool.
❤❤❤
Amazing 😍💕
Awesome
Amazingly beautiful!
That blue...woah!!!
Blue is stunning. I’ve used the purple powder, and came out with same result, on a different creation. I love the water 💦
The purple/silver makes me think of the Haunted Mansion at Disney World.
YESSS!!!
@@JBKonsCreations I think everything makes me think of Disney. 🤣
The blue is absolutely amazing!!!!! I'll be buying some😁
Amazing blue!
Thanks for trying this technique out. It's good to know that there are alternatives. I think the lavender coaster needed a mix of one or two other colors to give it contrast. 😊😊
That’s true, probably would look so much nicer and not so flat!😊
I've gotten those same marks when painting on holographic nail polish (non-uv) on some parts of a mold and not the others, as I used the mold more, those spots became more and more apparent as the mold wore out
