Just long enough until the plastic lays down flat again after shrinking

@@CarmenGarciaJMJ ok ma'am thank you so much

Sometimes, just a slight smell or some smoke but I think it's because of the markers I sometimes use. If they're only using colored pencils there shouldn't be any issue. But it does get VERY hot so depending on the ages of your students, they would need help from an adult. Hope this helps!

UV Resin doesn't cure until you put it under UV, so you have plenty of time to work with it :) but I personally wouldn't leave it alone too long just to avoid any dust or dirt falling into it

It has to have the number six on it.

Tarra hey!! Lol yes it's me haha! How embarrassing lol

I don’t think you can use an iron especially directly because it might burn the plastic, and with the pressure it’s not allowing the plastic to curl up and shrink. You’re recommended to only use a heat gun, an oven or the mini toaster oven. To add, I realise this is years old, so this is if you haven’t already got the answer,

She does have a part one to this video which you might have seen now because your comment was three years ago. But it looks like she might of use coloured pencils and chalk pastels. You can also use posca markers, sharpies and acrylic pens. I just saw someone also use gouache too.

What kind of pen markers are you using?

I prefer colored pencils😊 but I like vellum markers for outlines, and sharpie paint pens too. If i have to color in large sections of black, like a character with black hair or something, I like to use my vellum marker

Glad they helped!

😁 sorry about that

I think #6 plastic is the same as shrink plastic. If you want to color on it with colored pencils, you'd need to use sandpaper to rough it out first. Some of it is thicker than name brand shrink plastic though, so I'd say test it in the oven to see if it will shrink at the same heat for the same amount of time

I usually use a regular sized punch, I did have a smaller sized one but I gave it away 😭 idk what size it was, but a lot of different sizes pop up in Amazon 👍🏻 hope you find one...then let me know🤣

Sorry to be getting back to you so late...here is one of my videos on another channel. Skip to 16 minutes and I share how I use resin there😁 ua-cam.com/video/ddHF2W5Y9Wk/v-deo.html

@@CarmenGarciaJMJ No problem! Ok great! Thank you for responding and letting me know!

@@misstang01 No problem!

That's genius

@@CarmenGarciaJMJ i’ve seen people use the inner part of a cello tape/masking tape roll. As it concentrates the heat and also stops it flying everywhere.

Did you leave it in long enough? And on high enough heat?

Some brands need different heat/time than others in the oven

@@CarmenGarciaJMJ what temp is the optimum temp for shrink plastic to shrink properly?

Hahhaha

Too much we are

It should be, are you trying to resin them? It will smear or rub off if you touch the tops too much where it is grainy. I think that happens because we layered too much pencil in one spot. But this happens to me a lot too, I just add a layer of mod podge, the matte one, or just go straight with resin.

@@CarmenGarciaJMJ thank you so much :))

@@Makirollspls you're welcome 😁

It should be...not sure though lol

yes. Make sure to 'preheat' the oven by leaving it on to heat fully before you stick them in.

Yes

Don’t use wax paper, it’s not meant for oven use which is why it melts and sticks to your pans. Use parchment paper or aluminum foil instead :) And I found heating the oven at 340°F works fine! And it shrinks fast enough to watch it happen, so maybe around 3 minutes or so? It varies for people, but that’s usually the time for me :)

Just follow instructions on the shrink plastic package ; mine says 340 degrees F and 10 seconds!

I always feel ripped off at craft stores when I go to a hardware store. 🙄 thanks for the tip 🥰

@@CarmenGarciaJMJ I feel the exact same way. I either go to home depot or Walmart.com to purchase my craft needs. I almost always save money there. Example: I buy my Mason jars at Walmart online for super cheap. I get 12 for $7, plus its free shipping on orders that are $35 or more. They cost $1 each at craft stores. I tend to buy 5 cases at a time to get the free shipping.

I've never tried that

@@CarmenGarciaJMJ can u try it n tell us

Thank you!

LOL! I don't know about that...have you tried it?

@@CarmenGarciaJMJ yep

u tried that? how did it work out? what was the process? that's amazing

@@CarmenGarciaJMJ How about an iron?

Howw?

Thank you ☺️ The only problems I've had are 1) the resin doesn't always cover evenly on the pieces (keychain pins, whatever I'm making) so there will be spots that look like they have bo resin. That doesn't always happen though. 2) if the resin isn't mixed properly, it won't harden and stays sticky for ever 😓 so make sure you have the correct ratios. I usually use the I've resin brand in the plunger to avoid this, but their resin in the store looks so yellow and old. I did buy a new resin I've never used before, I'll try to make a video on it someday soon 🤗 hope this helps!

Thank you soooooo much. I might try modge podging them first very lightly with a sponge roller. See if that helps. Thanks again soooo much. I appreciate your time and help xx 😘

No I don't think so

I doubt it, the heat gun gets much hotter than a hair dryer

I tried the hair dryer but it didn’t work very well.

Yes, they're the frosted sheets. The white will stay white, so you'd end up with only white gems

In this video I bought a pack of shrink plastic that had images printed on it already, it's clear. But I usually use the frosted ruff n ready one for my other pins 😊
