Hi guys, I’ve gotten a couple of questions about odor and I didn’t notice any. I was wearing my respirator but once I took it off I didnt notice much smell. As always guys pls wear your respirator while working with resins!
I really like how the mica powder ones turned out! I do have a couple tips about working with this type of resin: This resin is much much more sensitive to moisture than epoxy resin is, including alcohol (I only recently learned the alcohol part myself haha) so you need to be very careful when using liquid pigments. And definitely do not use acrylic paint with it unless you're looking for a foamy look full of bubbles and craters (it can make a cool lava rock look though) I mainly use mica powder to color this resin. A tip about mixing colors into it is to mix it into either the part A or part B before mixing the two parts if you're going to only use one color (I hope that makes sense)
May I just say: you are just lovely - very personable, but straight to the point with nothing but intelligent interesting sharing. Thank you for starting your channel! I'm learning so much...and I'm kind of a tough student: I'm autistic (extremely high functioning), and I usually have to speed up videos to retain the information, as most videos belabor a point and are too slow. Yours are so wonderfully paced and I'm retaining quickly and accurately! Again, thank you! Prayers you and yours are blessed! And prayers for anyone reading this right now. ❤
They turn out gorgeous if you use the polyurethane alone (any color/s) and then give it a topcoat of uv resin with your choice of glitter - they're beautiful!!!! (or you could use a topcoat of epoxy resin (w/glitter) if a larger item, just a thin coat though) 😁Thusly, you can do a cured 1st coat of uv or epoxy with glitter then use the polyurethane. I've done these exact hearts using a topcoat of uv with glitter, they're gorgeous! White snowflake ornaments turn out really beautiful this way, and you can make quite a few at one time! 😁 Just cure the poly resin first then topcoat with the UV resin mixed with glitter, then cure the UV. ✨
GURL. I know you weren't impressed with the glitter ones... And I know I'm a glitterholic... But I think my favourite was the holo heart! Because it looked like a rare pebble that you may have found on the beach... With silver fleckles in it! I thought this was so so cool! I need to try!
While I have never used resin that changed colour over time, I do sprinkle glitter in moulds with opaque resin sometimes! Usually what I do is dip my finger in the glitter and touch in the mould where I (generally) want the pieces to go, that way I can also feel it to make sure it stuck to the mould. Or sometimes I sprinkle it in, but then press my finger against it after to make sure the static makes it stick better (and then of course pour the resin in after) Usually it works, but I do get at least a couple smaller/lighter pieces of glitter that do that muddy thing Maybe that would help with a resin like this since it cures quickly? :0 (cute hearts tho btw !!)
Yes this resin has been out for a while from different companies. I use to just paint on top of the piece after cured. I even used markers to color the cured pieces.
Another intersting resin/thing I kinda wanna try. I don;t like how long resin cure but I like the long working mintue. I take forever to mix and choose color, glitter, etc. I can;t decide all that in 2 min lol.
Thank you so much for doing this demonstration and sharing. They look amazing. I have a box here and I just keep staring at. It's very intimidating to me 😂. I'm curious if it's paintable? If it would be a darker color if it was opaque colors used and not using alcohol ink. I have the let's resin opaque and alcohol inks. I know there is another brand out there that has been out for a long time it's paintable. A lot smaller portion for your money too.
you can paint resin but you’d need a top coat to protect the paint from scratching off. You cant really dome with this resin unless you dont mind it being opaque white.
I didn’t really notice fumes, as for smell there was a little but Ive used other table top resins that smelled stronger. Still highly recommend using a respirator and well ventilated area.

Top tip mixing the mica into just part A or B👍🏻
@@cymorilgray1891 especially if you need to use alot to get a darker color.
I don't always remember to do this and it's a bit of a struggle, haha

Good info to know. I'm a beginner, and every new piece of info really helps. Thanks for sharing it!

haha poly resin could be fun for you! I know you don’t have patience for epoxy. You should ask Lets Resin to send you some! 👌🏻
@@JBKonsCreations I'm gonna have to! And with my shop I'll be using mainly epoxy actually! Thanks to their fast cure one and their heating mat! 😂😂😂
I love pu resin it’s just so fast and mega convenient
Perfect for fast projects! As long as you want the piece to be white!
@@JBKonsCreations White and pale shades of any color and you can make it glitter all you want with a simple thin topcoat of uv resin WITH glitter ! 😁
I loved the green one.
Thanks for this experiment. Helped a lot. 👏🏻
Hey, thanks for the video. :-)
I've been playing with that stuff today too. It's fun and certainly interesting. Thanks for this video, good to see your take on it
its cool trying new products :D
As always I love these all❤

Yess I should of pressed the glitter against the mold before I poured in the resin. 😩
These are awesome ❤❤

oooo thats cool. Ill have to try painting on it.
It's new to me also 😂
I may try it

lol. I had everything ready before hand.
Get really organised first...have things lined up ready to go.....then....go.
just read directions, mixing time is like 15 seconds, don't spend a lot of time mixing
The best thing about polyurethane resin is that it holds better under high heat
it really does seem to :)
So is there a brand that dries clear?
Thank you so much for doing this demonstration and sharing. They look amazing.

I think I'd love using this. How heavy are the fumes?
TFS!!
How did it smell? Is a respirator required? 🤗 It was very cool to see the speed setting! 😎 Great demonstration!! ❤
Thankyou. I didnt notice much smell but I was wearing a mask. Ive heard this type of resin can smell really strong.
@@JBKonsCreations You're welcome!! 🤗
I didn't notice any odor at all-serious, I wouldn't steer you wrong.
See even the ones you're not totally happy with, x
What are the fumes like? It seems like this would be extra stinky...not sure why I think so!
Not sure about this brand but my experience with polyurethane resin is that it doesn't smell bad at all
I didn’t really notice fumes, as for smell there was a little but Ive used other table top resins that smelled stronger. Still highly recommend using a respirator and well ventilated area.
There is a clear version of PU Resin.
ooo I should try and see if I can buy it here in Canada :)
