True story, when I first started playing in resin, I had no idea what mold release was. Saw a few vids and was using WD, as release agent, so a lot of my first pieces had that effect 😊

I appreciate honest crafters - and you are not as messy as I am

I think the effect it gives in the resin is amazing, the little cells were beautiful, especially the two square necklaces, especially once they had been domed on both sides. You make such gorgeous pieces Steve. God bless you and all those you love. Have a great weekend!

Steve, I don't know what I would do if I didn't find you on KZread. I'm learning so much from you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the experiments and tips you share.

I agree! I've learned so much from Steve. I just love his channels.

You are so gifted❣️ I’ve been wanting to join your group but have Zuckerberg issues. Wish you had the group on another platform.😢 Refuse to join FB for any reason. But carry on with the amazing classes!

I wish more people would do the same.

Love what you are able to come with❣️💖❤️ You are simply Amazing. Thank You Steve! 😊😊😊

both of your channels are just so addicting ... so much in short videos.. you AhhhhhMazzze me :)

Hi Steve, WOW my goodness they all turned out so pretty thanks for sharing 👍❤️

I need a good red pigment and Mica. Making pins/badges for my US Morris team

I’ve been spending A LOT of time with Steve. WD-40 is one of my favorite things to use for EVERYTHING. Totally going to use it in my resin!

Love this technique. I never thought about using WD-40. They are gorgeous.

They are beautiful. Thank you for all ur experiments. I’m learning so much and it really has helped with my resin art and jewellery making x

Thank you for briefly explaining all your steps and what products you're adding! So informative and interesting!

thnk you for taking the time showing step by step how to make beautiful coasters

Beautiful, Steve! I noticed the colors didn't totally merge with each other, so maybe the WD40 kept them nicely separated? Love the cell effects in the gold! 💕👍😊

Interesting effects of the WD40, beautiful creations!

So cool. I need to try this. I have so many items that you show us. Thanks for sharing

So pretty! Thanks for the tip. 😁

Steve, does your brain ever rest? I bet you think of ideas in your sleep. I can "feel" how much you enjoy crafting, and your energy is contagious. Thankx for so many fun-filled ideas.

Beautiful Steve… love your talent!❤

I really like how those came out, i'll have to give it a try

That is really cool! I'll have to remember that!

Fantastic!

Thanks! I enjoyed that video 👍🏻

I dont see any links to the products 😕. I love them they're so pretty, thanks for sharing steve

Look great ❤

Wonderful

One word to describe your products Genius

I was wondering what kind of red you were using? It was beautiful ❤️. Thanks and I love love your channel!

Thanks!

Beautiful earrings with that to match would be nice also

I'm new to resin and have been enjoying Steve's videos so much that I've also recommended him in several of my Facebook groups. Unfortunately I received private feedback that he refuses to answer questions unless someone is a member of his private group which requires payment. Many content providers I follow also have private groups but this is something I have never heard of and was so very disappointing.

Very cool

Can you use silicone liquid in resin like you can do in acrylic pours?

@Prepper Girl You can, indeed, and you will get cells. 😊 A word of caution: don't use too much! If you are making little pieces of jewelry or even coasters, put a drop of silicone onto your work mat, then dip a toothpick into it and just *touch" the resin where you want a cell. The cell GROWS, however, so it's easy to overdo it. I want to say Steve has a video on this, but...?

hello sir thank you for this experiment with wd-40 very nice look. Now if you did not dome off those 2…what sand paper would you use to clean up the rough edges??I ask considering i do have trouble at times with scratches on my art???Any and all feedback would be a giant help??

they'd look great with a black background.

Hi , please could you tell me which better to use a torch or heat gun for bubbles on canvas? Thanks 🙏 ❤

These are truly amazing! Would you get similar results if you didn't mix/swirl them? The cell effect is, I guess, what I am asking. Your sharing is so appreciated. Thank you Steve 😊!!!

Also, I don't see any links to anything except the resin this time for some reason

When will the uv resin be for sale in the UK?

Wow, that's awesome. You come up with some great stuff. I hope you don't take this in a negative way, but I always think of Alan Carr, the chatty man, when I hear you speak. Nice work sir.

curious.... does the metallic gold always sink to the bottom of the resin? trying to figure out how to get the other colors to sink some too

Do you have a video for absolute beginners. I have always wanted to have a go at resin but have no clue where to start.

Hi do you know how to make a silicone mold for cupcakes please

I spent a weekend about 3 years ago “testing” EVERYTHING under my sinks and on my shelves in the garage in resin. Every chemical and cleaning agent, paint type, some spices and foods, and ANYTHING with an alcohol or an oil base. I wanted to see what happened. {I did look up reaction possibilities online} I was amazed at some of the effects and affects of household items. WD40 is one of my FAVORITES!!!

I loved this video but I can't figure out which red you used.

So, as in acrylic pouring, oil doesn't mix with water. The oil in the WD40 (which is silicone after all of the other stuff has off-gassed), ends up being pure silicone. Now, silicone mixes with water, but also decreases surface tension, which is why cells form in acrylic pours if it's done correctly. Otherwise, cells can be created by alcohol or even water because cell formation is about breaking surface tension in the end. The "flicking" from a stiff brush disrupts the surface tension and creates "cells". I would challenge you to try making cells by a forceful (because resin is thick) interjection of both alcohol as well as water. If you flick alcohol (91% is likely best for this) from a stiff brush just after pouring so that the surface tension of the last color poured is disrupted to make a "cell", will it work the same as in an acrylic pour? Would be very interesting to find out. Yay! Another experiment.

dometastic!

Steve there is no links for the items you used. You are so good at your arts and crafts. I try to emulate you often. Lol

Is there a chemical that you can spray over your uncured piece that will give a nice blur effect? Like all the colors bleed together and no sharp edges, but a very blurry look.

Hello from Greece. Steve your videos have been wonderful, I have learnt such a lot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.. I'm a beginner and have so much to learn. I do need some help on an issue. My resin is never clear. it always dries with tiny little bubbles. I stir for 10 minutes, at a medium pace. I use a heat gun for the bigger bubbles. but alas when dried....full if bubbles. what am I doing wrong ? Anyone's help would be appreciatec.

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts thank you so much Steve. I'll try stir for less time. The resin i use is very thin, it's a 100:60. It cures in 24hrs. Again thank you for taking the time to answer me. 🤗🤗🤗

Steve, will the WD40 work like that with UV Resin? I almost never use long-curing resin but I'd like to get this effect.

Wondering How would the wd40 work in uv resin.?

Hi everyone can you do the same with bezels

Using your lighter won't make the mold & resin stick when you go to unmold it? I'm thinking a torch will make it fuse together & the lighter won't. Let me know what your thought is please

Now you need an experiment with gaffer tape 😂

Wonderful turn-out. Thank you for the WD-40 tips and tricks.

I wonder, if you do that on UV resin, let it sit them cure it...🤔

wont it smell really bad ?

Looks like the wd40 is attracted to the metallic.

Seriously looks horrid. But I like ya. So I'll watch another video xo

No idea what you was attempting to achieve in these but I wouldn't of shared seeing as you normally do good videos 🤷🤷🤷🤦🙎🙍🙆🙆🙆

Onviously? Her actions may lead to the death & disappearance of the dog. 9 shd be old enough for responsibility.

I love it...."WD-4E"

Thanks!
