Resin Petri Dish & Alcohol Ink Tutorial BASICS 

I love the process of learning and learning from mistakes and experiences! Thank you for doing an updated video of what you have learned 😁😁

Great video. Thank you so much for all your tips.

Wonderful stuff! I cannot wait until we get warmer weather to try this.

This is the most informative tutorial I've seen about making resin coasters. Thankyou!

You are so inspirational. You have me thinking of so many things to make. I always wanted to learn to pour resin. My ex brother in law years ago use to make resin war scenes with plastic soldiers getting shot and blood flowing .it was for a war protest, that’s how long ago it was. I was 15 and I’m now 63.... but anyway I think he used tweezers to place the figures into the resin. They were very animated and effective. I would personally like to create something more organic and beautiful. Thank you for your very helpful tutorial. Your personality shines and you are a pleasure to watch and learn from.

So pretty. Thanks for passing to us the lessons you learned in getting them from the molds. I might try this.

Thank you for posting this! I learned how to keep from destroying my molds! This is a beautiful technique, and I can't wait to try it!

Pretty much obsessed with this video. THANK YOU!

THANK YOU for allowing us to learn from your mistake. Some people are too proud to post anything that show a mistake in it. But by doing so, we have learned so much about the art & we've learned what a humble person you are & a good teacher. You've earned yourself a subscriber from the first of your videos I've seen🥰

You make it look so easy! Very pretty

Oooh thank you for the tips with the white ink! These are gorgeous!

I am glad you said that about torching in the mold. I have some that have done that and couldn't figure out why it did it just sometimes but not every time. These are gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge & experience. You have the best instructional RU-vid video on this art form, & you're very creative.

Another great one, Annie!! Really fun! Love & Hugs 👍🏻👍🏻😍🤗

Excellent tutorial!

You make the most gorgeous petri art I've seen!

Great video! I always learn soooo much from you. Keep 'em coming.

Awesomeness love all of them and great job! Great tips🕊❤😎

Omg thank you so much. I have been see your beautiful video and beautiful art for a while. I recently started to do acrylic pouring and now I m into making resin coaster. I have destroyed so many mold and never figure out why. Thanks to your video I learned so much and I can’t wait to try the my coasters again but this time without destroying the mold. Thank you so much

Wowww!! Amazing! Thank you for those useful tips! :)

Annie, thanks for sharing your experiences with the 3in1 oil and the unmolding before the resin fully cures. Fantastic tips!!

So beautiful I love it 😲

So excited about the silicone around the edge of the mold! 🥰

They’re beautiful!

Great video!

Beautiful mix of colors ! Congrats 🌹

Love this video. Can’t wait to try.

These look gorgeous. I use this mold for resin as well. I find 12 hours is the perfect time to take them out. When I had taken them out too early, my fingerprints ruined it and I had to add additional resin to fix it. Can't wait to try this method.

Thank you very much. Your video was just what I was looking for. Beautiful results.

These turned out really pretty! It seems like you literally melted the silicone mold right to the resin on the other ones that you torched. No weird science there, you just roasted them past their melting point! I use a heat gun for my resin and it does a great job on the bubbles, plus it makes some cool new patterns. It's not for everything (sometimes a flame works best) but it should keep you from your pyro tendencies. 👍🏻

Perfect!!! Just what I needed. Thank you for sharing.

I make coasters in the same molds weekly. I use a candle lighter for the bubbles and I wait 12+ hours and I have no trouble getting them out. If I do I set them in the freezer for 20-30 minutes or set it in the sink in hot water. I have never had a problem with the sticking of the mold. I do use mold release on some molds that aren't very pliable. Your petri pours are beautiful!

Great teacher I am getting supplies now can't wait to do this

Amazing.. I simply loved it

Great job on Petri dish tutorial! Thank you!!!

Annie & Laura Bingham (from comments), I haven't started yet but I will be ready in about a week. I've been watching videos on working with resin and this is the first time anything has been mentioned about protection. I am so thankful to you both for this! I'm also a bit obsessed with reading the comments or I would have missed this completely! Thank you for all of the wonderful knowledge I gained from watching your video and reading your comments! I'm walking away from this one with a wealth of information! Just a little FYI, I was watching a video on something similar to this only it was done for yummy desserts. He was dripping food coloring onto the clear edible substance (not sure what it was) then he used different tools to push the color (ink) into the mold to create flowers and leaves inside. It was so beautiful! I don't know why you couldn't do the same thing with resin. Just a thought you might want to try........

Hey sweetie this is stunning and looks like so much fun. You know this or any of your DIYS would be great to do with a group of friends with some wine at home. Fun fun fun. I love your channel gurlllllll. You are the best to me on the YT doing this kind of stuff. Beautiful art. You always encouraged and inspire me and my young daughter to try everything, we love your spirit and this is one ☝️ of the first things I do when I recover from my next set of surgeries. I will send your pictures when we do it. Love you 🙋🏾💙🦋💓💜💗💕💚💖

Thank you💕 I ruined my previous molds by my edges sticking and needed this video 🙌🏼

Awesome, after seeing this I will invest in some resin and try it

very well explained!! thank u!!!

They are beautiful

Thankful for your tutorials. I would like to know after you “demold” the coaster, where and which surface you use to let them to cure.

Thank you for the tips, I just started using resin.

Beautiful coasters!

That's amazing!

This is gorgeous but oh my god PLEASE use gloves! I can no longer use resin :( since I've now become super sensitive from using it, and I get crazy allergy outbreaks. Pls use proper ventilation, face mask, goggles, and gloves. It's so important to know this and teach it. This stuff is extremely dangerous, even if ArtResin touts itself as being 'non-toxic', but once you add stuff to it and torch it, all bets are off and it's no longer non-toxic :/

Just fried a mold. I wish I saw this sooner. Great video!

Thank you this video helps a lot omg

I will try it soon 😍😍 thanks very much about the important information ❤️❤️

Wauw so beautiful 😍🙏

You may be having issues because the silicone lubricant is acting as a solvent that is damaging you silicone mold. (Silicone lubricant can "melt" silicone objects) Try using petroleum jelly instead.

You share knowledge that is very important to us, thank you very much

Beautiful I have to try ink thx 👍🏻❤️

Beautiful, love those colors!!! Do you ever make any with jewelry pieces in them. I bet that would be beautiful as well. Tfs, hope you have a blessed day ❣❣❣

You gave some really good little tips that I will be putting to use for sure. I just got a bunch of different colors for petri dish coasters and can't wait to try make some. Art Resin is a good product, I usually pour each part into those squeeze bottles meant for ketchup and mustard, individually, not mixed lol. And using a small heater to warm them up nicely hasn't made the epoxy resin heat up and start to cure within half an hour. I've had that happen before with a different brand, kinda scary. I'm using Magic Resin atm because I got a lot more for my $$ and so far it's been great for projects small and big.

Brilliant 🕯☕️🚬

This was awesomeee

Muy bonitos y bien hechos.

Love How Yours Turned Out 😍 I tried 2 for the first time last night and the Resin is curing well but I have a lot of white showing ( do you know what would cause that) as I did the color then added the white like you did too make it bloom 🤔 Thank You

Soooo beautiful 😍

Thx you I love it !

Thank you for the updated video! I have ruined so many molds. Do you sand down the edges on the bottom of them? Mine always seem sharp. If so, do you wait until completely hardened to do so? What grit of sandpaper do you use? Thanks :)

Gorgeous 😍

Great video thank you for sharing

Awesome thank you. Just did my first test coaster yesterday. It stuck to the mould but obviously I over torched it. Not overly impressed with the finish but I’m going to try this!👍🏻

These are so beautiful but I recommend you try to find another mold because casting shouldn't stick to the mold that much, I've literally never had this problem. Also can I suggest that to reduce bubbles you take longer to mix and mix slowly, then bang your cup on the side to rise bubbles and heat when bubbles reach the middle of the cup. Then their will be very few bubbles left after pouring xx

Thanks for the tip about using q tip to put silicone on the sides of the molds. I have ruined my molds and had to keep buying them. Also was waiting too long to unmold.

Thanks for a great video. Do I understand correctly that after you complete the layer of alcohol ink, you do not add another layer of resin or any other sealer? What is to prevent the alcohol ink from changing over time when it comes in contact with other materials?

Beautiful ! How do you know how much resin to make for each mold? I want to start soon and not sure of that. Thanks

Beautiful

Great info...thanks a lot..:)

Amazing

very nicely presented :)

The torch softened the mold and heated up the resin at the same time allowing the two to mix then fuse together. Waving the torch quickly over the resin in waves and circles is enough to pop the bubbles. There is also a spray that can be used that will pop the bubbles as well and not affect the resin, another channel called positive couple uses it, however, it's in Russian so it may be difficult to translate.

Thank you very much for sharing 👍🙏🌹

Hola buenos días , que linda tecnica, ,gracias por compartir el video , saludos desde Medellín -Colombia

Great video! How do you make the coasters the same height? Like when free pouring into the mould and not filling the whole mould?

One of the best I've seen. I do wish someone, anyone, would share with us HOW you know how much resin to mix for coasters. Most everyone has this same mold, does anyone know how much one coaster mold holds?

Castin' Craft makes a silicone mold release/conditioner spray. It is possible to take a piece and round the edges or sandpaper the bottom flat. A quick rub over sanded areas with your fingertip and THE NEXT CLEAR BATCH. Give it at least one day sitting flat. Viola! Perfection

Awesome🤗

I almost like the bottoms instead 😍

Stunning! I have this same mold but haven't used it yet. How much resin is needed to fill all 3 molds?

You are so sweet. Thank You! 💖

this is very great tutorial i have also ruined aton of mold and i have one left and i have been scared to use it! i don't have any silicone tho because i mostly do resin pours> do you think something else might work for the sides?? Also you work is amazing and i am definitely subscribing!!

Thanks for this 🙏🏼 What can I substitute if I don’t have alcohol ink? Can I use this method with mixing Chinese resin colors/ acrylic with silicone to create this cell effect?

Magnifique bravo bisous

Amazing work 👍🏼❤️ Love these resin coasters but afraid to try making them 😬 I have question, Where you get ur resin and mold please ? Thanks 💕

Hi! I would like to know what you use to sand edges if they are Sharp? It would ne nice to see a tutorial about it!

Thanks! Gonna try using alcohol ink in resin for the second time (after my 1st attempt didnt went well last night) lol. Question: do we need to put more hardener in our resin mixture if we use alcohol ink? Does the use affects the resin cure?

This is absolutely stuning! Can you please tell me, what kind of ink do you use? The effects are so gorgeous!

I LOVE your channel!!!!!!!! I do have a question with the bookmarks you added more resin so they aren't soft you don't have to this when using the Petri dish and alcohol ink?

Nice!!!!

By the way I love all ur arts 😍keep it coming and Tfs:) Iam an old subscriber 👍🏼

Hi Annies, what about spraying the mould with Mould Release Agent before you pour your resin?! Wouldn't that help you with taking your piece out?

Fab. Can u use acrylic inks instead of alcohol inks? Or does it need the alcohol? Thanks much x

thanks for the tutorial! How much of resin to mix?

Very pretty! What colour are you using

Try adding glow in dark powder on it Cruz that would be real classy

HI Annie; awesome love these coasters.. I was wondering if a heat gun would get rid of the bubbles instead of a touch as I do not own on, but do have the heat gun on hand.. looking forward to more new videos..

The science is probably that you've literally melted the mold into the resin. Lmao.
