Beginners guide to resin moulds & tips to achieve STUNNING results

Hi I'm Wendy a resin artist and crafter.

In this video I am using 2 moulds both purchased from Alyy Express on the same day and although I thought they were the same they are very different. I show you the difference and use them in the same way to show the outcome.
If you have any comments or just want to ask questions please use the comment section below and I will get back to you.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching

Before I saw this I would always had said I would only use shiny moulds, now I can totally see the appeal of a matte one. The side by side comparison is great! Weirdly enough, I did a sculpt with polymer clay and made a mould earlier this year and I loved the cast, but then I forgot it until now.

The matte tinsel dragon looks as if he's fallen asleep and the frost has settled on him. You've got to call him Jack! 😂 They are all beautiful 😍👏❤️☺️

[sandyramsthaler]

The matte mold for the dragon is fantastic, you can see all the details. The purple is beautiful as it's my favorite color 💜. Thanks for sharing Wendy.

Hi Wendy wow I'm with you i prefer a shiny mould but with this dragon he looks better in matte 😍, thanks for sharing ❤️ xx

[pammipayne]

Wow wow and more wow. Wendy that was a happy dance moment. Prefer is 100% Matt It really does show the detailing. It's not a clear boundary mind you. Some creations do need to have that glow. But this it's better this way. Yep I love dragons, always have. As for the little guy he is rather cute. I don't usually go Ali-express or Wish as blimey the wait is a killer. So if I can get it from the UK then I do. Another great video thanks for my dragon fix. lol

Yet another great video Wendy.
I like both the moulds and think each ahs its own place depending what effect you want the end result to have.
Take care Hun.
Cheers, Huw

These are all so Beautiful and turned out so Great. The colors worked well with the matte and the shine, and then the tinsel just set them both off so well. And yes you have to be careful when cutting off the over spill on your projects. Unfortunately my husband has gotten cut a few times and we have exec-to knife .

[debrabradford]

I like both of them, I think the shiny is my favorite.

[JorieSteek]

Love watching your videos and am learning so much. My daughter loves dragons. Heading to my studio in the morning. Excited to try out dragon making ❤

[genettejennings]

I am split between the two. Like them both equally. I especially like the ones with the tinsel in them. When I use a file, I like to cover it with a thin layer of nail polish, it gets rid of the white left behind by sanding. Just a thought.

[niccilefevre]

omg the matte mold would look sooo cool with some iridescent cello in it! 🤩🤩

[margueritejewett]

I LIKE THEM VERY MUCH FROM ALI EXPRESS YOU SAY, I HAVE BEEN THINKING TO ORDER SOME ITEMS FROM THEM . AND I WAS NOT SURE IF I SHOULD BUT YOU SAY YOUR HAPPY WITH THEM SO I WILL TRY THEM TOO . I GET ALOT OF EMAILS FROM THEM DAILY SO THE TIME IS RIGHT TO TRY OUT THEIR SERVICE AND PRODUCTS . IT CAME OUT GREAT BOTH OF THEM . I DID LIKE THE MAT AND THE SHINY ONE TOO . THEREFORE EQUALLY GOOD ON BOTH, SO THANKYOU FOR SHARING THIS EXPERIMENT WITH US . IM HAPPY WITH WHAT I SEEN YOU DO WITH BOTH, TY WENDY

Can’t believe you’ve changed my mind on Matt moulds. I love the two mat ones but can’t decide which of the I prefer

[lindao]

I was not aware there were two kinds of molds, interesting. I think if I was coloring with mica's, I would prefer matte, but translucent, I'd prefer shiny molds - I think LOL. Thanks for the info - oh, and also, I prefer using a deburring tool for trimming the sharp edges, if I use a nail file, it dulls the finish and I've cut myself one too many times to trust the exacto knife.

[natasja]

I love the matt mold better the matt with the tinsel looks a bit like opal 😍 if you use your shiny molds often enough the will get matt especially the cheap molds from ali express

[Mamas-Madhouse-Creations]

I love both molds. The matte mold it is easier to see the details on that cute little dragon. 😍

[userDJCmomma]

I have always thought I would want a shiny mold but after seeing the comparisons I think they both are pretty especially the purple ones.

[designsbyrdwdaphnejwalker]

I love them both. And the mat one works well with that one. Purple is my favorite color

[dawnm]

I can see now how each type of mold has it's place now, thank you Wendy! Love the dragon 🙂(LOVE Dragons!!)

I’m a complete newbie to epoxy resin, thought it would be a fun arty little hobby. Your vids are very useful and giving me some really good ideas.
