I think if I heat the lotion bottle to lower its viscosity maybe a day before using again, the bubbles in the lotion should be able to escape allowing me to get a bubble free demold 🥰

How about trying this with Vaseline (petroleum jelly)? It has a lower water content than lotion, so hopefully fewer bubbles.

Can you put the lotion in the resin degasing machine? Or pressure pot.

Excellent project! And I agree, the coloring of the butterfly took away from your etched project. The powders looked much better. ❤️

I love this effect. The plain glass etching look is what I prefer. Although I like the gold in the leaves. ❤ Thank you so much for posting your experiments.

Hi Daniel, I'm Jenn. I love your videos. Thanks for experimenting for us.

A very genius idea here! To color the ‘etching’ I would ‘swipe ‘n wipe’ over the design with a wax based colorant, like shoe polish! I think it would come off the smooth surface nicely and just darken the design. Or for a metallic look, something like Rub ‘n Buff might work well. Just a couple ideas that occurred when you went for the acrylic paint 😉

The main line of chalk paint at Walmart has several colors of a wax to go over it.

I've been calling it the Cooper Etching Method!

Very good idea about the stencil and cream / lotion! Couple things that come to my mind: - after pouring the resin you could try tapping on the table for a while, as vibration makes bubbles go up - maybe you could try going with a Dremel in the insets to sand down the surface (reducing the bubble's holes) and getting a matte finish for the shapes Great content and ideas, keep it up ! :)

Thank you Daniel for another interesting video, I’d never get bored of watching your videos and how you explain everything in detail, thanks again 😊

I’ve got this mixer as it came with the gallon of resin I ordered from them last week (it was a lightening deal offer) and for me as well, it’s a complete game changer and my resin has never been so clear with hardly any bubbles. I’m off to buy the stand now, as I had no idea they had this too. Oh and I’ve got the baby lotion now and that’s my next thing to do once I’ve got my current project finished! Thanks 😊

Beautiful! Thanks gor sharing!

I would use a soft clay in the stencil and before you lift it, press a fine grade sand paper over it to achieve the etched look. Then lift both of them off and voila! Once the epoxy is cured you can pick out the clay. Maybe a little vaseline over the clay before the sandpaper would make it come out of the resin easier.

i love the pastel colors

What a cool technique. I would definitely want to try this.

I feel like one of the things people like about DIY craft videos is that anyone can do them easily. I enjoy watching your videos and others because I can picture myself doing what I'm watching. Everything used in making resin crafts like colors, powders, foil etc. can financially add up, though in small amounts it's still doable. I feel like when you start using things like heat mats, pressure chambers, cordless mixers and mixer holders though, the simple crafts seem to feel more commercial and less personal. I like videos that introduce these things. It's nice to see what's out there but when added to simple projects I start feeling less interested or just overwhelmed by all the things I need to get in order to do a little craft project. I know people say, "Well, you don't need to use them." If someone is doing a "how to video" though and they are using all these gadgets it's hard to relate to that project. Am I the only one who feels this way? Is it just the poor in me? 😄

Love this technique!! Playing myself. Thanks for the inspiration

Very Cool! I’m loving this!

Yes, the heat from the pad basically made the lotion sweat. Which is what caused the bubbles. I don't know if there is a way to truly stop the lotion from reacting to the heating pad with sweats but I'm up to watch you try! 😂

For a background you could brush down mica powder or similar, then put down the baby oil lotion stencil, so that it stops the resin take up the mica powder, so you would get a reverse colour, with a colourless stencil

I agree the paint in the etching detracts. However, in m mind ... a thin coating of alcohol ink very very subtle transparency might look good like water color. That might be a fun experiment.... it will be on my list of things to try .... im also wondering if letting the lotion dry out then paint the lotion parts with alcohol ink ifvit would transfer some color ... although way less control maybe ..... ok now i think i need to try ot out with just a blob of lotion let it dry then paint in an abstract pattern with different colors and transparencys on the blob and see if there is any transfer and control issues .... ill leave the content production to you ... hope you try it and show the results!!!

They are stunning, definitely better without the acrylic paint, you don’t know till you try! I actually like the smoked look of the mould behind after using the nail dust. Thanks again for sharing you knowledge Mr Cooper, thanks also to Mrs Cooper for her recommendation 😊
