One thing should be noted for "newbies" if your resin bottles have the same color lids(I saw yours was different colors) take a sharpie and mark a A or 1 on the lid and do the same on the bottle. That way if you open them both at the same time you won't put the hardner lid on the resin bottle. Really a pain to get off if it hardens. Lol. Best to just open and close one bottle at a time. But opening both at once does happen.

I have seen other videos that say to do the bath but this is the only video that actually shows you HOW to do it. While I reading through some of the comments I seen where you were talking about the temp of it and about the temp it is when you pour it. I didnt know it needed to be at a specific temp first. I haven't tried mixing anything yet, been terrified of it honestly after I bought it all lol.

Leave it in the bath until it thins out. You can use almost any resin for jewelry but If you are using light colors I recommend KS resin because it doesn’t yellow as quickly as any other resins I’ve used. If you want fast curing and durability I recommend counter culture diy.

Hello, love the video very informative. I was curious, what type of resin to use that would be better for small project's? Im a beginner and experimenting on smaller projects like coasters, and biggest project being trinket boxes. Thank you for any advice.

@abstractboss

Felicia Muniz hey Felicia! So both those projects would have different recommendations from me. Coasters you can use art resin, puduo, is resin, diy counter culture, and faux rizzle. For casting a trinket box you want a casting resin. Easier to mix and less bubbles. Casting resins I recommend are from theepoxyresinstore- clear cast 7050, diy counter culture also has an amazing one 😘

Thank you very much. I wish I would have watch the video before I tried to use the epoxy and resin.

Hello! This video was extremely informative! I’m getting ready to start working on a project using silicone molds. Questions, I’ve been told to use a measuring scale to measure out resin, do you think that is necessary? Also, can you reuse the tools you are using, like the cups and stir sticks? Or does purchasing tools made of silicone make them easier to reuse? Thanks so much! ✨

@abstractboss

4 жыл бұрын

so resin peels off silicone pretty darn easy so they are great. I found that I do not like the silicone cups though because they bend too much so i like the hard plastic cups from home depot that have the measurements on the side. The resin peels right out of them if you tip them upside down after you are done with them and let them cure. most resins that say 1:1 mean by volume NOT by weight. you will have a bad mix because most resins are heavier than the hardeners so the measurements would be off.

I was just about to use some resin that was old and yellow. I was going to watch some more video's before i did my project. You said don't use old resin. That you. It was very important i have clear resin. Wow that would if been bad. Thanks no other video's have said that. It isn't in the directions either.

Oh abs after all mixed up and ready to go… do I just pour it on whatever I’m covering… straight from the cup?

Great video. I know it's been a yr since you did this, but I just started using Stone Coat and I'm getting micro bubbles. Its frustrating when I can't get rid of them when I put the resin in crystal molds. Can't torch it. Lol I do the warm bath but with a and b together.

Hi, What is the ideal room temperture when working with resin. Thank you,

Hey i just had to ask that after keeping it in the water bath, do we wait for it to cool down, or do we combine it with the hardener straight up?

Thanks for getting straight to the point and not wasting time 💗 Can you tell me how long you let your resin rest before pouring (After it's mixed) Thanks 😊

@abstractboss

3 жыл бұрын

absolutely! You don't have to let it rest but if you do, don't let it get over 100 degrees. it will set up so fast at that point. If you pour right away though it is usually around 70ish and it will take a lot longer to cure and be slightly less strong

I will order more now . This is clear cast. Since my husband was terminal I did not open the box one of my bottles was open and I did not realize til just got box out to use Any suggestion on using this resin. It was two half gallon containers.

The 2nd method in the bath water is nothing I've seen from other KZreadRS. Most of them put part A and part B in the bath water. NOW I KNOW THE CORRECT WAY TO DO IT. ONLY PUT THE THICKER PART IN THE BATH WATER THEN ONCE 10 MINUTES HAS PAST. MIX BOTH PARTS TOGETHER. THANK YOUUUUUUU. I must invest in a silcome splatter.

Also sometimes your water is hot enough that you don’t have to wait 10 mins. Just test it out and see if it is moving thinner after about 5 mins and go from there 😁

How hot should the water be before letting the resin sit in it for 10 minutes? Do you pour the resin in the Hardener? or vice versa ?

you're welcome :D work with a warmer resin. you can also use alcoho to spray on top and it will create cool effects and get rid of surface bubbles. Or you can use a blow torch (do not torch after alcohol, you will start a fire and burn your resin). blow torch is the most effective. Just don't use heat in cheap molds, they will stick to the resin and ruin the mold when you try to take it out
