Using those condiment containers to hold the resin parts is such a good idea. Thanks!

I'm really enjoying this series. May I ask which brand of resin you are using in the video?

[ariesangeltarot]

I just found your page Amy! Thank you so much! I want to start doing resin art and this is a perfect guide! Question. Before you put in the stickers how long do you wait for the first thing layer to cure?

[ValleyMermaid]

So helpful and easy to understand! I can’t find in your description box, the name of the tool that you use to go along the edges, or the kind of person that you are using. Would you mind sharing what those items are?

[silvanaduarte]

do you think I could mix both parts in like a silicone container instead of the cup? or stir/mix it with a silicone tool? instead of the plastics you suggested? for like an easier clean up and not creating too much plastic waste

Can I use the same resin I use for tumblers for shaker keychains?

Hi Amy, newbie here, it looked like you used paper stickers with the yellow piece. Were they paper? They seemed ok😀

[lovecraft]

hi! thanks for doing this instructional and useful video! i will be doing my first resin project next month and will definitely be using this guide! what resin brand do you recommend for beginners?

I've watched this video and the other parts many, many times before I started to work with resin. My area doesn't have the resins you use - using art for doming isn't popular here, not many do it, but we've got a lot of different brands of resin, so I'm just trying to see what works best. I can't help but worry about bubbles. I don't understand why on your videos, you mix your resin and immediately put it into a mold / onto doming, and it never has any bubbles, neither during the mixing nor during the casting? When I mix my resin, it's so filled with bubbles it's cloudy. I always warm it up beforehand, and when I pour resin into the molds, or onto my pieces for doming, they still have a lot of bubbles. I use the torch to pop the bubbles but I always have some micro bubbles in the end. I don't know if it's the case that you live in much warmer climate than I do, but how home your resin gets literally no bubbles when you mix it? is it because of the resin brand and that may be the number 1 reason why my resin is bad for these projects? (I wanted to buy resin that has specifics as close as these of artresin / art'n'glow, but I can't find any documents online speycifying what are the physical specs of these brands)

Can you use oil based acrylic paints to color the epoxy? I heard you say oil based, so I just wanted to make sure...ty

[Aphrodiselady]

Is there a certain kind of squeeze bottle you can use for resin or can it be any kind? I've seen tons on amazon but I don't know which ones are good to use

[PunkieTheGreat]

I bought the 10 minute resin in 2 parts. I only had time to stir it for 30 seconds before it began curing. Is that normal ? Is there something different i can do ?

[epictetushasepictiddiez]

What kind of paint willmake the resin transparent wile still being colored?

[BlueSnowLeopard]

i was wondering where you got all your tools from?

[milagonzalez]

My resin got stuck on my mold:( how can I prevent this?
