Stamp making with a modern nail lamp 17 

Well Colop did tell me it was available pretty much all over the world - you need to email or phone them to find out.

Thank you! Just searching online now.

You won't get the gel on line, you have to contact them

Thanks, I just searched for dealer. I have sent them an email. Thank you!!

@@createinspain do you have an email I can use to buy the gel?

You can't. Although UV activated, the gel is of a different composition. You can use gels in your projects for decoration though.

@@createinspain thank you very much. I was hoping not to hear that. I enjoy your creativity and work-around diy videos. You are very skilled and your videos and paced perfectly and very clear instructions. Thank you!

@@dalewalkey8269 Thank you for the kind words

The gel is not supposed to be toxic but it would be cautious to wear gloves. I don't, I have never had an issue with it - but I am very careful to remove any traces from my skin straight away and afterwards I oil, then wash my hands. You could, I guess use a barrier cream on your hands but I have not tried that. Re lamps - look at my most important stamp making playlist and watch the one on lamps. It will save you money in the long run.

Thank you so much, I can't find any gel in n stock anywhere in the UK at the moment (maybe the covid-19 situation) so I've ordered the little packets of gel for the time being. I'll try to do a little video when they've arrived.

@@flomingo Good luck! From what I gather, it isn't easy getting good results from those.

If the gel is a solid lump, with no pattern or detail, you have over cured it. If it is still liquid, it is under cured. Please watch the other videos regarding the timings etc. All the information is there. Without more detail of what you are using to make the sandwich, type of lamp etc I can't help more than that, there are too many variables. Look at the videos and find the set up that matches yours the best and go from there.

i use a " uvled nail lamp SUNone" .............link: www.amazon.com/Sunone-Curing-Motion-Activated-Polish/dp/B07DX3QW7X?keywords=UV+LED+SUNone&qid=1536856359&s=Beauty&sr=1-5&ref=sr_1_5

You have to experiment to find what works for YOU. There are many variables.I suggest you watch this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tNWvWrasj7o.html There is NO SINGLE answer and I cannot possibly tell you what you are doing wrong if you are not using exactly the same gel, glass, printed image etc. It could be any number of factors from a bad negative to over curing.

I sympathise on the price of the polymer! It's worth noting though, that a bottle goes a very long way. If you watch the 'most important stamp making' playlist before embarking, and practice with small designs, you should get a LOT of stamps out of one bottle. When I first started, I went through a whole bottle of failures - but I didn't have anyone to teach me how to do it!

@@createinspain its definitely on my list of things to try once this crisis is averted. We're currently barely scraping by and it's been getting worse and worse (we're in massachusetts) no income with no outlook on having any anytime soon. I'll be making some crafts in hopes of getting some sort of money in that way maybe. It's just extremely hard right now. But one day I'll definitely try this. If nothing else it looks like a fun science experiment. And the scientist part in me that was never realized certainly can appreciate that

@@pewpewcat7679 I hope things get better for you soon. Making any income from crafts is hard unless you have a lot of access to wealthy area craft markets.
