I'm glad you kept it in! What about adding a white eyeshadow as a colorant? It's a powder but should have some titanium dioxide already in it which should help the opacity. I know here in the States we can find cheap make up at our Dollar stores, so maybe check your Pound shops. Also what about regular baking flour?

I love your commentary. “It’s not an absolute disaster.” That is normally what I’m shooting for. Thanks Daniel.

I like how lacy they are. I think chalk and plaster of Paris powder would add opacity Both are stupid cheap and readily available. Chalk comes in colors so you have an option there. Cornstarch for me almost always goes clear if it is in small amounts.

Daniel, corn starch changes with temperature. As the resin heats up, it starts to cook the corn starch and the corn starch becomes translucent. You may try experimenting with mixing the corn starch and resin in container that is wider and shallower in an effort to keep the resin temp to a minimum. Adding mica powder to the corn starch prior to mixing it in the resin may be a way to color it evenly. I dunno, I'm just guessing. I want to try resin with kaolin powder but I'm not sure just how fine it is.

Wow! You are so hard on yourself. It's awful to hear. Please show yourself the respect you deserve. You're a very talented artist...there's no need for those comments, hon. ❤

I still think they are cool results - perhaps adding another layer of resin in the back coloured opaque white. I have this vision of you wandering around the house shaking bottles and trying to figure out if you can dump those ingredients into the resin. Cinnamon? a dash of that , Tumeric? sure why not.....

Just found your channel! Potato starch might be a good option. It's pretty similar to corn starch, but at least in water it reacts slightly differently. And it's a bit more opaque. Another option might be to try a darker dye than white. Maybe a yellow or orange with that color palate. (A lighter one than used in the center, but one that would grab the starch better.)

It looks like a cut grapefruit centre. Really like it. 😊

I love the first one!!!

That could work depending on how light the pigments are 😊

"It's an absolute disaster" >comes out looking like a watercolour painting of a hibiscus flower Thw two of us might have different standards, the first one was dope!

Just add a tiny bit of white paint,maybe a drop to start with, that would probably give you that opaque color along with you baby’s powder.

I'd also recommend trying out arrowroot powder, you can pick it up in small sachets to test it out in tesco for £1.60 for 5 I think it is, its alot lighter than corn starch/ flour and highly absorbent so it could work, great video 😊

If measuring one should make sure spon is level and no missing areas, so it is the same exact amount each time, for cooking or chemical mixes.🤔

I don't think any could be considered disasters, maybe not your desired result, but still pretty! Possibly wait until the resin is a lot thicker before adding the cornstarch mix? Give it less time to move? 🤔

🌽 starch is usually used to make a mold for resin, tons of KZread videos on that

Add pigment to the cornstarch mix.

!!! Those are pretty damn cool actually but it's not going to matter how much cornstarch to use in your resin it's still going to come out more translucent you'll find that out because I'm at gravy all the time so you mix the cornstarch with water first or a broth and it's translucentTried out with water first You'll see what I mean Good luck these are pretty cool

Have you tried shifting your power or corn starch? It will make finer powder and get rid of lumps. It works in baking. Good luck!

Nobody uses dashes. 😅 It was 1/8 tsp I believe (teaspoon) You did 8 so one full teaspoon. Tablespoon is TBS in caps.

Cool effect with the corn starch. So long as you’re trying random fine white powders, how about marble dust? AKA calcium carbonate, powdered chalk. Or maybe just some titanium dioxide: isn’t that what’s in the sinker whites?

I'm not sure how well it works in epoxy resin, but chalk pastels make uv resin pretty opaque with just a tiny bit added, so that might be a good option. Just scratch off a bit of white chalk pastel, instead of using the let's resin dye, and see if that works? Just an idea.

The white alcohol ink (not sinker!) Should help the white cornstarch spread rather than sink? LOL! N'mind! You're using the white dye. 😁 WOWWW, it worked! Not bad at all. The petals look great! Maybe try either 2 drops of the white dye, or...wait! Didn't you use typewriter correction fluid once? Wonder if that would work? White acrylic ink?
