Quick and Easy monogram keychain using UV Resin, an acrylic blank and permanent vinyl. pattern from keychain: www.etsy.com/ca/listing/89427... Acrylic Blank: Roshko Inovations
Just a tip for newbies like myself-make sure the vinyl you use is double sided. I was confused about how to put vinyl on the back because the vinyl I was trying to use was not double sided. I buy most of my vinyl from Expressions Vinyl (EV). I found that the following vinyl in my collection was double-sided (color on both sides): Oracal 651, Cricut premium permanent and removable in solid colors (glossy and matte), and Cricut's Smart vinyl (matte solid colors-both removable and permanent). EV's patterned vinyl was NOT double sided nor was their glitter vinyl. Other vinyls that are NOT colored on both sides: Cricut glitter vinyl and some of their other speciality vinyls. In addition, Siser's EasyPSV Starling Matte was not quite double sided-the sticky part (the back) was a light pink whereas the front color was brighter and darker. For example, a coral color I have was bright, medium coral but the back was a pastel coral. Anyway, make sure to test out your vinyl before cutting it!
I'm trying to find out - I had to do a computer update and a bunch of my fonts disappeared. I get most of my fonts from "design bundles" there is quite a few similar ones there.
I’m sorry I can’t seem to find that file… so Hopefully this helps, i make a dummy in design space, the same size and shape of my blank, and I size them in the dummy so in know how big or small to make things :)
I heard with the regular resin use you have to take caution and can use a breathing mask, or you should do it in a garage or outside. With the uv resin do you need to wear a mask and take all of those percautions, and can you use it in your house?
You should do your research. But I would. I didn’t use too you can see in my older videos. But I’ve gotten more strict with myself over time. And no matter how careful I was it got on my hands. :)
Do you use removable vinyl or permanent vinyl for the keychains since your putting resin over it ..just wondering cause I have the color I like but they are unfortunately in removable vinyl ..
I was watching your video on resin on a keychain. You said you would put the font you used in the description but it isn't there. What font was it for the name Lily?
Buy the highest watts in your budget. It’ll take less time to cure that way. They all do the same thing. It’s just a matter of curing time. Mine is from Amazon. It’s ok. Not the best.
I used to use a Japanese brand of us resin. It was hard to get and for a while I was getting it on Etsy. I now use Let’s Resin UV resin and it’s available on Amazon.
The B is a font named breakfast pastry. Unfortunately I can’t remember the name of the other font and there was a problem with the file and I can’t access it :(
