Thank you! I was making a organizational trinket box, first time, and completely poured my resin in the wrong side of the mold twice! Rookie move, I unmolded 4 triangle looking pieces instead of an actual trinket box. I now know which side to pour it on, so I don't keep making the same mistake and wasting my epoxy!
I really really appreciated the hexagon mold! I literally just made 3 last night and didn't know to get rid of the bubbles and to press the epoxy into the corners. I can do it successfully this evening! Thank you so much.
I love this & what a great way to get acquainted with mixing/using the epoxy before moving on to glitters... Having a bit of trouble finding rubbing alcohol, locally, at the moment but will ask the hubs to check for the 91% at work so I can get started on these tumblers. Thank You :)
Yes I know some supplies are limited right now but unfortunately I'm not aware of a replacement. I heard someone suggest using rubbing alcohol wipes from a first aid kit if you have any to spare. I thought was a neat idea!
Have you ever considered using the gems as feet or knobs for your other projects? They would work and look great in that capacity. Love the colors you used btw.
Are molds ever the problem for bendable epoxy? I mixed 2 full bottles and didn’t change colors, add-ins at all. 2 of the eight molds came out bendable- everything was fully cured. I let one small trinket tray cute another day and it’s perfect, but the wine caddy mold produced a bendable product. I’ve had this happen several times. I don’t think this was user error since I mixed entire bottles and everything else came out fine. Also forgot to mention that same mold has produced varying results with multiple types epoxy resin
Thanks for the video and again you are a very good teacher. I have a question. I've heard of people spraying silicone release in the molds, have you ever done that? I bought some of those molds and the first, and only, one I made the silicone mold ripped trying to get it out it was like glued into the resin. And I didn't know if maybe I should use some kind of silicone release or how that happened. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
I have heard of it but I haven't needed to do that. It's probably worth trying though if you're ripping molds! Are you using a torch a bunch? You may be causing your epoxy to flash cure.
#YAY 😃 Thoroughly enjoyed your cool and informative video 'presentation.' It was fun to watch, and you seem/are cool, and enthusiastic about what you obviously enjoy/love. 👍🤓✌️ #Thanks4TheShare ☺️ 🛀🤺 ... Oh 💩! 🤭 ... 🦆💨🤢 🤦🤔😒🤡🤨
thank you so much for doing the tinker box, I have two just like the one you were using and bubbles are my worst nightmare. lol Do you find that thinner resin vs thicker is better for these tinker boxes? I loved the others too. I have the book marks and they are adorable. thanks again. Janis from US
You’re welcome! I haven’t tried many brands to compare, I’ve just found that pushing the trouble spots with a popsicle stick to “move” epoxy there works best.
Love these Alex! I ordered the silicone kits from 651....wanting to learn how to make my own. Can't wait til they start shipping 😁. Would you be able or interested in doing a video on making our own molds? Pretty please 😁❤🙄
That is not the way you demold things. You will break the mold eventually. Separate part of the mold from the side of the box. Poor in baby oil. Squish it around till it hits all sides and bottom. Mold will slide out. No inside out needed. Use baby oil all the time. Never broken a mold since i started using it. The only one i broke was before i used baby oil trick.
