Just to make it clear, its best to avoid molds with sharp angles but nowadays, it’s getting harder to find cute molds without them. So just keep in mind the latex may be the best option to make them work!

Only just found your channel and I love that your intro is getting safety gear! Thank you! Resin is so dangerous when not using safety gear! So many KZreadrs won't even use a mask or gloves and will just say oh don't do what I do. That's not good enough!

This is how an experienced professional speak when they know what they are doing. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

I find liquid latex more of a precaution for mistakes especially for trickier pieces. Apart from that i thought everything else you mentioned was extremely helpful! 😊

You can dome more than flat pieces. You just have to tape it off or use liquid latex around it.

I've had to re-dome 3 resin shakers and it's a little bit hard to find liquid latex where I live, so I improvised with a latex I used to use in watercolor paint (I have no ideia how it's called in english). I was so afraid to ruin more shakers but I had to try. I worked out perfectly!!! I can't believe it!! Only one of the three shakers has spilled, what also helped was to let my resin to rest for 10-15min before applying (I use low density resin).

This is a great video. I do have a question though. I've seen so many people who make letter keychains with the alphabet molds and a lot of the letters have sharp corners so how are they getting them domed without overspill or the resin pulling away from the sharp corners? In the videos I've watched their letters look perfectly domed and I've seen some people use UV Resin but I've seen a great many who use 2 part resin that has to sit and cure.

They all have really shar points and it seems like the resin will not go to the edges and stay there. If you try to add more it will just spill over somewhere else. Not even sure what resin would be the best option. I have 2 different alphabet molds, same problem. One is the standard reverse, or backward facing letters and the other one is also backward facing but the letters are taller and have the little silicone post that leaves the hole for your jump ring.

You can dome it during the soft cure stage. However keep in mind whatever you use under the piece (doming mat, liners etc) may leave an imprint of the texture of the surface onto the resin.

It could be that your resin is old and has oxidized to the point where it no longer cures properly. This happens with cheap uv resins.

There’s an easy fix for that, cure your piece normally under light for whatever amount of time you normally cure, and then grab a clear container, fill it with water and submerge your piece and cure it under water with uv light for 3-4 minutes.
