Cannot thank you enough for this tip! Using Flitz really changed my game & now I am no longer discouraged with my craft!! Thank you so much!!

I was glad to see the part where you used a paint brush to apply the resin. I've been wondering if it could be done and how to clean the brush afterwards. Thank you!

I am a polymer clay & seed bead artist but your tutorial on resin are fascinating and I may have to start a new hobby great tutorial 👍

Fantastic video tutorials. You stick with the subject and get the job done as well as include all necessary and alternative steps. So many tutorials out there for a variety of subject focus too much on the 'glitzy look at me more than the process' ....so annoying when you are trying to learn something. Thank you for your professionalism! I will be ordering your high quality products so my first attempts can be amazing! Thank you again! Sharlene from SYS

I just want to say I bought that polish, and it totally had the opposite effect of shining my resin pieces- it left a dull cloudy finish that essentially seems to have ruined my jewelry. It looks awful; I don't know why- it's the exac same one recommended here. it didn't work for me, so I thought I should warn others of that.

Hi Jenny, Have you tried it? Looking forward to your feedback!

This was really helpful. I just bought some resin molds so i'm waiting for them to be shipped and I am not sure if they will produce shiny pieces like my silicone molds do. I just normally use the method that you showed in the second part of the video with mixing more resin. The polish would definitely save me using more product. Oh and GREAT tip about the nail polish remover, I'm always trying to think of ways to save money.

Just curious if you can use these methods on large flat crystals in costume jewelry, to "erase" scratches and dings from the gem surface and restore brilliance, etc., or do you have better tips for that sort of item?

Question for anyone that has used this method: I am looking to sell my jewellery, will the shine last, or will buyers have to polish regularly to keep it shiny?

@LittleWindowsResin

2 жыл бұрын

Hello JumpinJacks! In this tutorial I'm working with pieces that were either cast in non-shiny molds, or which have gotten scratched up over time. Once polished/recoated, the shine should last unless your customer damages the piece in some way. The shine does not rub off, but anything made with resin is vulnerable to scratching, and can also develop a dull surface if harsh chemicals such as perfume, self-tanners, etc, get on the piece and are not cleaned off right away. They can be cleaned with warm water and dish soap, with fingers or a soft piece of wet material if needed. I hope that helps :) fran@little-windows.com

So are only certain resins able to do the technique you did at the end, with brushing it on a piece? I ask because I tried this with a resin I got from michaels and the resin would reseed from the edges or bead up when brushed onto another resin piece. And these were flat pieces to boot @_@
