When using alcohol or a lighter/torch on UV Resin it is always best to allow the resin to sit under a lid for 5-15 mins before curing. Typically I use the top of an old jewelry/shoe box. Just depends on how many(big) the item(s) are. As long as you make sure the lid is free of debris, you’re good to go. The reason for this is to make sure all the bubbles have time to rise and pop before curing. Hope this helps someone! 💜☺️

I use Let’s Resin U.V. And I absolutely love this product! I do alphabet molds and I mix glitter, other kinds of confetti and I have no problem curing under a U. V. light. I put it under my U. V. Nail polish lamp for one minute then turn it over and do another minute and if my letters aren’t cured, I just put them back under the light for a few seconds more.

Yes, I've made the mistake of not using a clear mold and putting too much colorant in. Thanks for an honest video and tips! We're all learning and we learn from mistakes!

A torch can weld your resin to your mold and ruin the project and the mold, a bbq lighter will pop bubbles without the danger of flash curing it to the silicone and ruining the mold.

What about heat gun for pipping bubbles?

Oh my gosh….. I have been looking for someone who would give a quick, EXCELLENT description of how to get started with the DO’s and DONT’s of getting started with resin. I’m absolutely thrilled you popped up on my YouTube feed this morning 🎉🎉🎉🎉. Thank you, YAY YAY YAY ❤

I have 3 different lights for my resin and one is a flashlight that I use to keep the resin stable and unable to flow until put under the lamp. Thanks for all the useful info.

Just started getting into resin art as a way to de stress and relax as I try to go on disability. I’m glad I found your channel 😊 I actually have already been following all these steps already and have a lil station set up in the living room now that we are slowly adding to as we can. I’m excited to watch your tips as I make stuff too

I just added resin pigment to uv resin for effects I've seen on youtube. For whatever reason, the resin will not cure once the pigment has been poured in. Just watched your entire video and learned that my mistake was probably putting too much pigment into the resin. Thank you! Very professional and helpful!

Hey there! I find your videos AWESOME and think you are a talented and personable craft whiz. On top of that, your charming and welcoming tone make it feel like I am watching a family member's video. I just wanted to say that it would be helpful if you were a little more informative when giving tips. For example, you mentioned that using a little rubbing alcohol in a squirt bottle would decrease surface tension and help bubbles rise, so I tried it and it worked great! However, you didn't mention that you need to let the alcohol fully evaporate before curing. It turned out wonky my first time, no bubbles, but cloudy. I looked it up and found that the alcohol needed to evaporate before curing to maintain resin integrity and surface quality. Your advice led to to a great new technique (and I LOVE it), but with a little more detail, I wouldn't have ruined a (albeit, small) project and had to do extra research. Conciseness with quick details around each point would make you a one-stop shop!

Thank you so much for the awesome tips. I’ve been using too much mica powder to my uv resin so it would sometimes leak and not cure at all. I really appreciate the great video! 😊💜
