#186. 'ONE GIANT LEAP' For RESIN ART! An EPIC DISCOVERY!

#186. 'ONE GIANT LEAP' For RESIN ART! An EPIC DISCOVERY!

Here is a Resin Art video of me experimenting with my Swipe and Wipe technique and I wanted to see if I could use the heat pad to speed things up, I got bubbles! I wonder if heating the lotion in hot water will lower the viscosity enough for all the bubbles to escape? It's worth a try!

I also wanted to show this new mixer and stand, it doesn't take much to impress me! I will never mix resin by hand again! 😂

Anyway, I'm still really happy with this technique and have seen some of you experimenting with other lotions and creams and having great success! Well done! 😍

Update from viewers and other channels who have tried this technique.... it also works with Vaseline/Petroleum Jelly 😁

Please do NOT experiment with products which may be dangerous if mixed with resin!

Disclaimer.....

I am fully aware of the risks of working with resin products and aim to give you great tutorials in a safe way. I film in a very ventilated area and keep risks to myself low. I would always recommend you to wear full PPE based on the data sheets for the chemicals you are using 😊😊😊.

Stay safe whilst creating beautiful art 🙏 #resinart #resin #epoxyart #epoxy #resinforbegginers #artsandcrafts #swipeandwipe

I think if I heat the lotion bottle to lower its viscosity maybe a day before using again, the bubbles in the lotion should be able to escape allowing me to get a bubble free demold 🥰

Creating my list now...
* baby lotion
* wide array of stencils
* nifty holder for my let's resin mixer
Sir Daniel!! You are costing me a fortune.. 😉 😂 thanks again for all that you do! 💕

[parisnchristlove]

A very genius idea here! To color the ‘etching’ I would ‘swipe ‘n wipe’ over the design with a wax based colorant, like shoe polish! I think it would come off the smooth surface nicely and just darken the design. Or for a metallic look, something like Rub ‘n Buff might work well. Just a couple ideas that occurred when you went for the acrylic paint 😉

[Grianan]

I've only found you about a week ago, but I'm really loving your experiments with resin. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!

[SkitchBean_aka_Christine_E]

I love this effect. The plain glass etching look is what I prefer. Although I like the gold in the leaves. ❤ Thank you so much for posting your experiments.

[JJ-uwuh]

Thank you Daniel for another interesting video, I’d never get bored of watching your videos and how you explain everything in detail, thanks again 😊

[jennrennebohm]

Hi Daniel, I'm Jenn. I love your videos. Thanks for experimenting for us.

[DiegoSynth]

Very good idea about the stencil and cream / lotion!
Couple things that come to my mind:
- after pouring the resin you could try tapping on the table for a while, as vibration makes bubbles go up
- maybe you could try going with a Dremel in the insets to sand down the surface (reducing the bubble's holes) and getting a matte finish for the shapes

Great content and ideas, keep it up ! :)

[virginiarichards]

This was a real win / win for you. Like you I prefer the original etched look, but Mrs Cooper had a major win too with the nail powder! It really enhanced the butterfly and took away nothing. Kudos to you Mrs Cooper!

[cmb]

Thank heaven for Mrs. Cooper and her excellent idea with the powders!

[FluidArtwithErika]

Excellent project! And I agree, the coloring of the butterfly took away from your etched project. The powders looked much better. ❤️

[EffieG-eztf]

The gold leaves are gorgeous, and remind me of autumn leaves with the first frost on them. Beautiful!

[b-Maker-Street]

I agree, the ones left 'untouched' are really classy. Love the narcissus – they remind me a little of _René Lalique's_ stunning glassware.

Another banger, Professor Cooper! 🖤

[rosanneducharme]

I love these etched designs! What an amazing idea using lotion. Thank you for sharing your experiments and this idea.

[irenerhynes]

Thank you Daniel. I tested the lotion, and by gum this 80yr old great granny got it spot on. I thank you for all your experiments. You are the best.

[melissaphillis]

Beautiful, well done Mrs Cooper with the nail powder idea

[lauraspangle]

I've taken a few weeks off and when I came back you've blown my mind again! Absolutely brilliant!!!!

[liadubruyn]

Hi Daniel. Thank you once again for a detailed well explained video. Always look forward to the next new video..😊❤

[PatriciaWestervelt]

Totally AWESOME! Beautiful suncatcher. Thanks for the tip!

[gretchendiegel]

HOLY SMOKES DANIEL!! I absolutely love these. ❤
