@@anneosborn475 great question! I have used both, and I do think the 120 is a little brighter with color transfer than the 125. However, it’s not so noticeable (to me) that I would toss out the 125 I have left, if that makes sense. But, yeah, when I’m ready to buy more sub paper, I’ll get the A sub 120. As for working better in different situations, I haven’t really tested that, so I honestly don’t have an opinion. I know Angie Holden has done many, many sublimation tests on her channel and might have a better answer for you.
I wear a respirator when I'm using resin so I don't bother talking, especially since all I'm doing is exactly what you see on the screen: dropping alcohol inks onto the turning tumbler with no rhyme or reason where. There is no specific placement, it's whatever colors you want wherever you want to put them. That's why alcohol ink tumblers are some of the easiest to make for beginners. Thanks for watching!
The nail polish was Color Craze sold at Dollar Tree, not marked “gel”, just cheap nail polish. The micas were intended for resin but are very similar to micas in eye shadow - either will work.
Metallic reacts differently than regular colors i have found. And quick dry and gel reacts differently than regular nail polish i have found out while playing around with them.
Hi there! Would like to try it with a full wine bottle (to use as a gift). Do you know a kind of cup turner/spinning wheel which can clamp and hold the heavy bottle?
Great question! Honestly, I have never tried anything heavy like that. I did a quick search on RU-vid, and came up with this video for a product that will do what you want: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y5BTMgv_v30.htmlsi=cgHaxDo-YYsKHClt Other than that, just experimenting with something or combination of things that would fit the bottle opening so tightly as to hold the bottle out straight, but I'm not even sure where I'd start trying to do that. I'm sorry I can't be more help! If you do figure out something that works for a wine bottle, please come back and let us know here what worked for you.
Hello! I followed this video, painted my tumbler and I cannot get the resin to adhere to the top and bottom edge (lots of fish eyes). What am I doing wrong? I use Naked Fusion resin. Thanks!
Hi, I'm sorry to hear that you're having this difficulty! First of all, know that fish eyes are not uncommon at all and can happen frequently no matter what the situation. I did take a look at Naked Fusion resin because I'm not familiar, and it does say the original art resin works for tumblers. The thinner resins they have probably won't work. Did you spray paint the tumbler with a matte finish paint or glossy? Glossy can actually cause the resin to slip off sometimes, especially around the rims. The resin, while the Naked Fusion website does mention that it works on tumblers, may be just a little too thin to really hang onto the tumbler. And even if everything is perfect, sometimes resin and alcohol inks just result in fish eyes. The good news is it's fixable. Give the whole cup a very light sanding with a fine grit sandpaper or sanding block, wipe it down with a damp paper towel, then spray the tumbler with a matte clear spray paint to add a rougher surface. When dry, apply more resin -- that should cover everywhere including where the resin didn't stick the first time. If you want, you can also add more alcohol ink to the second layer of resin to cover up any obvious fish eyes you want to get rid of. I hope this helps!
I got those from a website called Island Micas and More. They are going out of business, and having a big sale. Here’s a link straight to the chromes islandmicasandmore.com/products/chrome-pigments?_pos=1&_psq=chr&_ss=e&_v=1.0
Yes, somewhat. I just clean it out later with acetone. Other people stuff a plastic bag into the cup or use painters or duct tape to try and keep the paint from getting in. Whatever works best.
Thank you so much!! At the moment, I'm not planning to do any more videos. I ended up with 730+ videos across 2 channels in 3.5 years, and realized at that point that I was completely burned out and exhausted. So I've moved on to other things. Thank you again for watching and for your kind words!!
That is a great question, but unfortunately, I don’t know the answer - I’ve never tried to do that. I would suspect that some of the nail polish might come off as the silicone sets up. But the only way to know is to test it. If you can do a very small test sample first, mix up just a little bit of silicone A and B (literally just a teaspoon or tablespoon of each part) apply it to something that has nail polish on it, let the silicone set up, and then see if it pulls some of that nail polish off. I’m sorry I can’t give you a more definitive answer!
I use the Artsyville foil adhesive (you can find it on Amazon: amzn.to/4bvfnZp). I’d add a little water to it so it brushes on smoothly, let dry for at least 30 minutes (longer is better), then apply the foil and rub vigorously. Heat is not required with these foils, and I didn’t usually use heat when doing these foil transfers just the artsyville brush-on adhesive. But some folks swear adding heat with a heat gun as well as rubbing helps the transfer process, and it certainly doesn’t hurt, so go ahead and try it - experimenting is encouraged 😊
Welcome! This collab video with Anthony Crammen was my last video. I’ve moved on to other adventures 😊 But there are 735+ videos on this channel and my other channel, so lots to watch! Thanks for the comment! youtube.com/@LuxindasOtherObsessions
I can't get the black lid off. It.doesnt unscrew or pull off. I've scoured the Internet for answers and found your video. Could u let me know how to remove the black lid pls? Fab designs by the way.
Thanks! I’m not sure I can be much help - my black lids all unscrewed without any problems. If you haven’t tried already, my next move would be a pair of small pliers to see if you can get more force behind the unscrewing motion. If that doesn’t work, I’d return it and ask for a replacement. You may simply have gotten a tube with a defective lid or something like that. I’m sorry I don’t have a sure-fire fix for you!
