You could put a thin layer of resin on the plain dragon one.

Becoming a member was the best thing I have ever done. I have met the most brilliant people and have gained so many great friends and some very best friends. It truly is the best place on FB. Just like Steve McDonald is the best KZreadr on KZread.

I've used stickers in the past and just do a quick topcoat

I have been using water slides for years and prefer them to stickers

Me too now, I love them. I’ve used the pre made ones lots of time but never the ones you can print with an inkjet printer. I am a complete convert now.

Those all look great, but the waterslide (in my opinion) came out better. Love the little dragon! Very cute.

I kept thinking you needed to use a squigee on the water slides. Air bubbles can get trapped so bad under them. I use water slides all the time with resin and they work so awesome!

I am surprised you wasn’t sure the water slide would work Steve because they are basically temporary tattoos. ❤

I think he thought it would float up in the resin or the. Stickers would partially stick to the coasters cause of.the glue. I use stickers face down sometimes and they can move. Or fold.

Hey Steve! These worked better than most already printed ones for me. I had rin out of ones I had used for a popular item I was selling, and found this paper as a solution. It saved me a lot of money and stress. Brilliant video, loved it!

Nice one Steve. I've always loved using waterslide stickers in resin. And on Eco Pour too. Great fun

My new favourite technique

I love making and using waterslide stickers in resin - my cricut gets a lot of use for this!

I find the printable vinyls are absolutely brilliant for this - really keep the colour well and don't bleed in the resin

Hey Steve was thinking of buying you a coffee machine a look cheaper 😅 yesssss I have a Tassimo & the lattes are so good 👍🏽 love your work 😽 Very Creative yeah 🖼️ love K4ttt ❤

It works! I’ve tried it myself and they come out beautifully. Just need a topcoat afterwards to keep the water slide protected. 😊

I went through a sticker phase, ran around getting old used coasters and plopped a sticker in gave a thin over coat, works great!

I trust the process, I'm hoping for some awesome results Those turned out great! Thought the stickers would look best, but was pleasantly suprised by the water transfers

My grandson loves that dragon, he watches your videos with me. Good ideas we want to try.

Why are all of your titles "Game Changer" and "Shocking"? We would watch you without the forced drama. Your videos are informative and you are fun,

I pour the clear first then put the waterslide on. I’ve used them on trays when I’ve not had enough time to paint design on. Works really well

Ive noticed myself when i do an experiment, it usually works out brilliant! Loved these❤

7:20 Try applying the stickers with a bit of (soapy) water, too. Then remove all water&bubbles by pressing it down with tiny squeegee.

Temporary tattoos are also good for resin and eco pours. Resin you can put them onto the mold and the resin picks them up fine. But then you need a top coat to protect it. Ecos you need to put them on after demolding 😊 With the sticker just a top coat like the temporary tattoos would help with that

So pretty, all of them.

This technique is so cool. I've not wanted to get into the whole Cricut thing but have wanted to use images that I can't draw. This opens up immense opportunities for me. Thank you Steve, you are the best😊

I print and cut a lot of waterslide by hand but also use my cricut to cut them too - I never stop hand cutting images and stickers though, it's just so satisfying!

I use fingernail water slide decals in UV resin pendants. They work great!

I’m not surprised that they worked right on the mold. I’ve actually watch other crafted even use temporary tattoos directly onto the mold 😮

I would put a bit of resin over the sticker to get rid of the stickiness.

Water slide paper is the bomb ! So easy it’s mind blowing.🎉

Love it! You know what I am doing now! Love you and your videos

Hello Steve! xx 🎉

Lovely results, with an eye on keeping costs lower.

Pretty cool Steve!

those flat wide silicone make-up brush things work great for squeegees to get the water out from under the waterslides.

Steve. You get plenty of compliments on your art. I wanted to extend that to your production. You do a really good job at that.

Those look awesome!!! I don't know if it's the same for this kind as it is with the tiny ones I put in my nails. I never completely submerge my sliders. I use awet papertowel. U don't have as much water to wipe off n risk of tearing

Such a cool technique ❤

Really cute. ❤

Thank you. You helped me immensely.

Very cool, Steve. 👏🏻

I am not surprised resin is simply amazing, I wonder if it would work reversed, with putting the decal print side down and then slide off the back? I'm making coasters and will try!

Cool thanks for showing us

Yes they will deffo work as the resin has a stronger adhesion than the sticky back of the sticker or water slide. You will probably have a sticky surface on the sticker, unless some resin manages to seep underneath it. If it doesn't then all you would need to do is add a thin topcoat. x

Thank you.

So helpful to see this. Thank you.

I think all of the stickers will be fine, even the ones you attached straight to the mold. I think the resin will treat them just like mica, when you dust the molds before pouring.

That's awesome!!

Love the game changer really love to try them u are brillant love ur videos

Hi, I don't work with resin, however I am totally hooked on your experiments. Thank you.

Fantastic… I love it ❤

I am surprised also. I do know that if you put your sticker in a little at a time you can avoid most air pockets. They all turned out awesome. Thanks so much for what you do.

I think it will work 😊.

WOW i am very surprised !! did not think that would work!. I wonder if this would work on an eco pour ?? You could always put a think layer of uv resion over the top of the stickers on those first 2 to seal them

I agree.. I was surprised the resin adhered to the sticker that was directly on the mold. Thank you for testing the stickers and water slide paper!

i use paper stickers and they work but you have to steal them, which i use tape. i figured these would work well because they arent paper stickers. you could also do a thin top coat if its sticky too. i really like the mold with the little bubbles around the edge. it looks fancy n.n

Love❤

I’ve been waiting for this! There are so many good sites for free (and paid) pictures that the possibilities are endless 😊

I love them and was wondering if a thin top coat would work on the one that was left sticky

I do this with stickers and tattoos all the time. I find although both processes work a thin coat first is best. I've even used uv to coat it so it didn't trap air. When i have residue i dont use alcohol. Idk i just ruin it trying. I just coat it with low viscosity uv. Or spray the topcoat on it. Havent had a really bad experience so far. Just all thumbs sometimes.

Love the cute little dragons❣️

They all turned out beautifully.😊

Love em

Oooo this was a good one to try! I've seen loads of (and bought) stickers for resin, holographic ones in particular (I LOVE anything holographic!!) and when you put the stickers in I was a bit dubious about it working, especially the dragon one, with the sticky side up (on the finished product), but the water slide stuff was a new one to me! I LOVE that!! I definitely want to give it a go, do you think it would work with UV resin?? I guess you could do a top coat over the sticky-sticker as well, maybe? Like you said though, more faff when the water slide ones came out so nicely, especially where they didn't have trapped air under them! Got my brain buzzing with ideas now! :D Great video, absolutely loved it, that mould you used for the water slide dragon was exceptionally pretty with the white mica powder, looked like it was edged with pearls

and the bubbles too yeah what's the cost difference?

On the one where you put the sticker directly on the mold, could you have just added a thin layer of resin over the sticker after you unmolded it, to seal the sticker?

These look fantastic Steve. I have some water slide decals somewhere that I love, I already used some of them on a lamp. I’m certainly going to try these and some stickers which I probably have ran abundance of in my stash of items. Thanks for the idea and the inspiration. I’m away at the moment but as soon as I fret back I’m getting stuck into my resin and I cant wait. I also want to make some stained glass with the resin, that looks very beautiful too. Have to purchase the acetate first though. Mmmm! So many ideas I’m getting from all their videos I’m watching. I need to buy some more resin so I don’t run out, I think.

I've done both of these before myself and prefer the water slide paper although I used it a bit differently than you. I put the water slide paper against the mold then wet it with a sponge and slid it off then poured my resin on. As for the stickers I had never stuck it to the mold before so that was neat to see it still attached to the resin but if you look at the stickers in resin you can see an outline around the stickers and sometimes get a fish scale look behind the sticker because of the sticky backing. I've tried removing the sticky backing with alcohol and it helps with that issue and I tried sanding the edges but you could still see the outline (I also tried sanding the top, big mistake it will remove the print) but I haven't tried sanding the backs after removing the sticky backing. But I am trying to find a way to make that outline around the sticker disappear so if you can figure out how we can make it invisible that would be amazing!! Much love my friend ❤❤❤❤🤗

Nice

Recently discovered your very informative and entertaining videos. I’m learning so much each time. So many interesting options for resin. Am yet to actually attempt anything! Wish you had an option for joining from Australia and wondering if you ship to Australia?

Very interesting! How do water slide stickers differ from tattoos?

Love your experiments!

❤❤❤❤❤

Temu has resin stickers.

Sticking the sticker was bound to happen as sticky side was up but you just just pop a topcoat on it

I think it'll work. Resin sticks to anything really. Except silicone. (Hope I don't eat those words lol)

In this types of molds do you need to mirror the sticker? So they are not backwards on the mold

I love those dragons!! Adorable! Question about making stickers... My husband has asked me to make him a sticker to put on the outside window of his truck. I know the paper I'm printing on is waterproof but the ink will not be... How do I make it so the rain won't wash away my ink? Thanks so much for your videos and any advice you might have! 💚🩷

You could just use thin top coat on sticky surface

❤

Would it work to rub a clear resin coat over the top of the stickers on the round ones?

I think the stickers will work but will need a top coat…woohoo

Could you just put a thin top coat on the sticky one?

I expected the water slide sticker to get picked up, but not the regular one. Curious if this works with eco resin too. 🤔

@miniscenesgb

2 ай бұрын

Yes it does

👍🏻👏🏻😊

Instead of rubbing the sticky off why not give it another thin layer of epoxy just on the inside?

The kit is unavailable on amazon 😞

Just top coat the one with the sticker

You have to put the waterslide picture down

Is everything here a game changer? How many patches and updates does this game have? :D I like dragon characters, and been watching you for a while for inspiration! Do you ever go through a store, see something and say "That might be something I can use with resin!" ? I saw a silicone tray mat once with little square patterns and I thought that would make some small colorful bits I can throw like confetti in resin!

I don't know why they wouldn't work

I have 1,000,000,000,000 stickers!!!😵‍💫🫠

SHOCKER, GAME CHANGER, and YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS in title and thumbnail on a single video!?!?!? Well now it is more than enough for me. Good Bye

I would watch more of these if you didn't yell through the whole video. Even when you turn down the volume it is uncomfortable to listen to. I wouldn't say any of these were a game changer. They had all kinds of imperfections, bubbles, etc. Kinda cheap looking. Love your other videos though.
