Thank you so much for this video. I am just starting out using polymer clay as a new hobby and I think that you girls are so helpful and generous with your time. Thank you again.

Thank you for this great video. I wish I’d seen it before I suffered w a pretty severe allergic reaction to resin. For me, I think I’ll stick with a glaze! Your videos are always so informative.

Oh no! Yes, I will admit I was a little lax until I had a couple of friends have reactions and wowee it scared me and I have taken resin safety very seriously ever since! I totally get the decision to stick to glazes! Thank you so much for watching our videos! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for the tips!

So appreciate your channel. Can you give me tips on how you clean your brushes after using the Sculpey glazes?

@myclayco

Thank you! 🥰 We try wash them straight away but sometimes (if we get too excited about what we’ve made and forget 😂) be pop them in a little isopropyl alcohol to clean them 😊

Thank you for sharing! Looking at your varnished and resined pieces, it seems that the varnished ones look less smooth under it.

I know, I did a terrible job of prepping my clay 🙈 that is a good observation though because the pieces were all from the same batch (all with a few air bubbles) and the resin did a very good job of hiding the flaws!

@@myclayco This is interesting, you can maybe completely skip the sanding process, when using resin.

I use resin on some things and on others a water based polyurethane. Never been a fan of the Sculpey glazes for some reason. 😊 I’m going to keep an eye out for that PearlEx glaze though. That’s interesting!

Which water based sealant do you use?

Yes, the Pearl Ex one is great! Which polyurethane do you use, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m always interested to know what works for others! Yes, I have heard others say they’re not a fan of the Sculpey one but I’ve never had an issue and it’s easy to use to it ticks my boxes. Sometimes I wonder if it’s climate or something that affects peoples experiences 🤔

Great video. Thank you for the tips. Do you recommend to lightly sand before applying UV resin to prevent it from pulling from the edges?

@myclayco

Thank you! 🥰 No, we don’t sand our pieces before we resin them 😊

Thank you so much. Have been waiting for sometime for a tutorial on this subject. Can I ask though, do you apply resin to both sides of the earrings and on the edges? Thank you once again.

@myclayco

My pleasure! We generally only apply it to the front face with the earrings we make, but there’s no reason why you can’t apply it to the the back and sides if your piece calls for it - we made a faux stone slab the other week and resined the whole thing to make it look like an actual stone 😊

Hey I have a question How to manage the spreading of uv resin if you have an uneven surface. I feel like it doesn’t stay on the upper level and slide back in Center or lower level area. Thanks plus the video was great! One more question Does it gets sticky once it comes out of uv light?

@myclayco

5 күн бұрын

I’d probably do uneven layers the same way we do models - apply thin a thin layer with a paint brush. You can do multiple layers (curing in between) if you want to 😊 The resin shouldn’t be sticky afterwards, if it is it’s likely that it hasn’t cured for long enough under a UV light 😊

Thank you for this video. Great information. I’m just starting out and I like the Sculpey Glaze Glossy and the UV resin. I needed the trick on getting it to the edge properly & repeat it. I do have a question about firing my piece before I glaze them. If I’m baking them at 275 degrees for 40 minutes, will the pieces still have some flexibility to them. Or should I be baking them longer? 🙏🏻💖

@myclayco

Glad you found it helpful! If the thickness of what you’re making is only a few mm then that baking time should be perfect. Polymer clay should be a little flexible if cured correctly, so if yours has come out a little flexible then well done, you’ve nailed the curing! 👏

Can you mix mica powders in with the sculpey and cernit glosses like you did with the pearl ex varnish or are they too dissimilar products? Thank you for this video it was very informative and I love your accent!
