When using black uv resin let the light hit it from both top and bottom. So hit from the top then flip the mold and hit it from the underside. Also do it for twice as long as you would light colored uv resin
@DAsAngel1960
@DAsAngel1960 Год назад
Ah, but would the UV light be able to penetrate the mica powder 🤔 Color shift mica powders work by reflecting and refraction, which would mean not enough UV light would get through to cure from the outside.

I’ve had my UV resin do that. Between the coloring agent and the depth of pour it didn’t want to set well. Works better when it’s clear.I did find some transparent tints that worked better. Sticky is an under statement. You did a great job at over coming it. I love this I’ve got that skull mold will be interesting.

If I may offer a suggestion, Ben, apply your mica powder, then use a baby wipe to clean up any areas that you don't want it to stay on. If you don't want a definitive line, blend the edge with a make-up brush. Carefully pour in the clear resin so that it doesn't run over the mica, place the bauble, and cure. It might help to use the stir stick to guide the clear resin. Once the clear is cured, it should be good to go for the black.

Not my favourite if I'm honest, but the colour switch effect along with the opals was absolutely beautiful! I would have liked to have had a longer look of the finished piece at the end, though.
@christianegates2781
@christianegates2781 Год назад
I do a lot UV resin stuff, and one thing I learned, is ,the darker and more opaque a color, the less likely it is for the darn thing to cure... had that with black happen several times too😅😅, nice save!

Edit 2: The burl coordinates with the skull beautifully, well done! I love the boxer story too!

Awesome idea. The cover-up worked really well. And just remember, UV resin needs UV light to cure. If you mix in an opaque powder and the light can not penetrate it the UV resin will not cure.

If you were to try this again, try doing the oposite with the UV resin. Coat the mold with the color shift the same way, but instead of suspending the bauble and doing the edges with black uv resin, use the clear uv resin to hold the bauble in the spot you want it and surround it. Just dont do your uv layers too thick! As some people have already mentioned, the black pigment prevents the UV light from fully curing the resin. Best practice is to cure from both sides, and use even thinner layers. Still looked pretty dope in the end though!

Maybe something in a soft, rounded geometric shape to make them look like magical gems. The light effect turned out amazing with the synthetic opal, and your recent frog project makes me want to see some black 'ichor' drips and drops as well! I definitely want to experiment with this now!

Hey Ben! Great save...I just love the color shift powders.
