I’m making a set of copper, white, and black epoxy coasters. Naked Fusion Artist’s Resin, PearlEx Hot Copper mica, Pearlescent White mica, Castin Craft white, Armour Art black, Picassio black alcohol ink.
That is just beautiful, I love the effect and the copper is amazing with the black and white! Really cool edges. Love them! Your a talented lady for sure! Thank you so much for sharing with me! ❌❌🇮🇪
Hi ma'am. First let me tell you how much I enjoyed the video. Your craftsmanship is happenin'! The effects are gorgeous! I was wondering if I can substitute mica powder with anything like an opaque alcohol ink or pigment paste, and still get the same or similar effect?
Hi there! I love this effect so much! I’ve tried twice now with two different resins and haven’t achieved this at all… so I need to know what resin you’re using on them?
These turned out beautiful. I have one question: why do you use both a white mica and a white pigment paste? Can u achieve this look without using the paste? Thank you!
have you ever tried Super Clear? That is what I use and I love it I make all kinds of things with it and have never had a problem. I found it on Amazon, you can get 1 gallon for 64.99 or what I get is 2 gallon bottles for 104.00
Hi Vicky! There are a few things I can think of why it’s not working. 1. Your resin is too thin or too thick. Thin resin just lets everything fall straight to the bottom. Thick resin doesn’t let anything fall deep enough to get crackles. 2. Your resin sat too long or cures too fast. You need to use a resin that cures slowly enough to let the color fall through the clear. 3. Your pigments aren’t heavy enough. Make sure you’re using enough colorant to make them very opaque. 4. Your room is too cold. Cold resin doesn’t move as much while it cures. 5. Your room is too hot. Hot resin cures too fast and doesn’t give enough time for the movement to happen. I would try a simpler version of this, with just clear and mica. I did a tutorial here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YpGfVwt9glQ.html Try that and see how it works. If you still don’t get crackling, then I would say to try a different resin. Either Naked Fusion or MAS Art Pro, and make sure your room is 72-75 degrees while you’re working and the resin is curing. I don’t ever warm my resin up first, either. It’s always room temp. So the temperature of your room will make a difference.
