Love this tray!!! It is uncomplicated but soooo freakin amazing!!!!
Thank you!!! Yes I’ve realized that less is more with these trays lol. Thank you for watching! 💕💕💕
Yayy!!! I dont need to use a drill for the handles. I saw other tutorials that used drills to secure them and I got discouraged!!! Thank you !!!❤❤
That would be a lot harder I think, just make sure it’s getting tacky so your handles don’t fall into the epoxy (I’ve done this!) lol 😄
@@GlazedEpoxy Thanks for the tip and I sure will !!😊
Gorgeous work! Enjoyed this video so much, very informative!
This is so pretty! && really giving me the desire to branch out of just tumblers.
YESSSS Megan!!!! I’ve been telling you!!! ✨✨✨
So pretty! 😍 Thanks for the tutorial, can't wait to try this ♥️
Thank you!! 🥰 And thank you for watching! 💕
Gorgeous!!!😍
That looks really cool! My mom accidentally bought a resin kit, but it didnt come with any molds or pigments lol, so I decided to order some and I got a tray mold. I still dont know how to do resin but I did do some small stuff. I’m hoping to learn with some videos
Go for it! You will become addicted though ;) My first pour, with my dad, was back in 1973.
Beautiful!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩
I agree I love a more simple look.
Less is more.
Tfs, its a beautiful piece. 🎨🦉
Thank you so much! 🥰
Beautiful ❤️
That's beautiful work.. I wanna try for the first time very soon. Wish me luck lol
Wow! This is sooooo pretty!!😍
Thanks for the video!!
So glad you like it!! Thank you for watching! 💕💕💕
This is gorgeous. Did you spray the alcohol on or just kind of flick it with your fingers? I love your tutorials. I think you could do away with the music all together. I kept having to fiddle with the volume depending on weather. you were talking or not because the music is louder than your voice. I'd love to see you do an introductory tumbler video on why you do what you do etc. Your work is beautiful.
This is absolutely stunning!
Aw thank you! 💕💕💕
Beautiful tray! What a great job and great tutorial!
Thank you so much! And thank you for watching! 😄💕
So beautifull, you make me wanna start making epoxy :P
Keep the good work
Aw thank you!!! It’s defiantly been something fun for me to do and get creative with! Thank you for watching! ❤️💕
Buy a mold and have at it :)
Beautiful 🤩
Thank you! 💕🥰
Love this!! ❤️❤️ Beautiful!!
Can you make the tray thicker? How durable is cured epoxy? Also, can you give steps on how you prep the mold? Thanks!! ❤️😊
Thank you!! Epoxy is VERY durable! And you can make it as thick as your mold, but if you get much thicker you need a casting epoxy (different pouring depths need different formulas to cure properly) but casting epoxies don’t hold color the same. I want to do some cutting boards using really pretty wood and doing a river in the middle! So I just spray a mold release spray on the mold, and sometimes I will mix gold mica powder with alcohol and paint the edges of the mold first, I will definitely add that to my list of videos to do! Thank you for watching! ❤️💕
If you do the gold paint around the edge are you putting a mold release on prior to that? I love the gold edge
It’s really nice 👍🏾
This has been such a helpful video!! Turned out beautifully btw. New sub here! 💖✨💖✨💖
Thank you!!! You’re so sweet! Glad I can help! 🥰
Amazing!!! love it girl!!!
Thank you!!! I seriously can’t get enough, it’s just too fun! Lol. Thank you for watching! 😄
Love it
Thank you so much! 💕💕
Love it! Can you tell me more on how you did the gold boarders?
Soooo glad I found you. Your work is outstanding…. Question::: do you use a silicone measuring cup? Or is that plastic? How do you clean yours if it’s reusable?
Hey .. it's just lovely.. just one question.. I shipped a resin tray to my client did exactly what you did to secure the handles , even added two layers of resin to make sure they are completely fixed but when it reached my client the handles were broken from the base.. any tips?? Or was it just due to shipping?
So glad I found your video! Are we able to also with this add dried flowers ??
Hi, love your work! Can you please tell me what alcohol are you using?
What the mixture for the gold you put around the mold
It’s gold mica powder! Here’s a link colorflexpigments.com/shop/collections/metallic-gold-mica-powder/
Amazing when you hold the tray up to the light. Looks like an expensive piece of Onyx. Do you have a brand of epoxy that you prefer?
Wonderful masterpiece
Aw thank you! And thank you so much for watching! 💕
Hey can you tell me the size of the tray. Loved your work
Hello mam its just amazing 🤩🤩
Can u please tell me when you attached those handles i mean after pouring resin after how much time ?
Beautiful 😍
Thank you!!! 🥰
I love it but can u please make a detailed video of everything.. like everything
Thank you! And yes, I’m planning on doing TONS of more in depth videos! My studio is currently being remodeled, so it’s hard to film right now. But BIG THINGS are coming!!!! Please let me know if you have any specific video requests, I will add it to my list! Thank you for watching! 🥰🥰🥰
Hey ! Lovely video!
Just wanted to be clear , the borders covered up with mica powder and alcohol ( how much % Alcohol we are talking ? ) and also at the end when you sprayed the alcohol how much % was that ? Thanks in advance ♥️
Omg love this!!! Do you have a step by step on how you mix the epoxy?
Thank you! I’m working on tons of videos showing step by step and tips for working with epoxy, too many ideas and not enough time! Lol thank you for watching! 🥰
Hi there! Love this video! I’ve watched it so many times! Question- general rule of thumb, how thick should a resin tray/coaster be?!
Thank you for watching! So a coaster can be pretty thin, like 1/8 inch, and as thick as 1/2 inch, just whatever you prefer! For trays, I like them to be no smaller than 1/4 inch, so they don’t bend at all. Also if you pour one and decide it’s too thin, you can just add a layer of clear to make it the thickness you want! I hope that helps! 🥰
How did you put tha handles?...after how much time of curing we should put handles?
how much resin did you use for this piece? love your work btw :)
If it is 12x18 inch and 8 mm thick it need 450 gm of resin
U can calculate it by using any app and measure it with weighting machine
I want to see how you add the gold
I just use a gold mica powder and a small paint brush, then paint the powder on the edges of the mold! I’ll add this to my list of videos to film! ☺️
Absolutely loved it! 😍✨ is the heat gun and torch necessary? Or should I just allow it to cool down?
Thank you!!! 🥰 So the torch is necessary to pop bubbles, but the heat gun isn’t, it just moves and blends the colors, you can even use a blow dryer on low for that part. Thank you for watching! 🥰❤️
thies dayse i use genik resin so i cant do ur design :)
Cool
Beautiful tray!! Quick question - how do I smooth the edges, if they are rough on my tray? Thank you
Thank you! So just take a fine sandpaper and carefully go along the edges that you want smooth, just keep in mind you will want to paint them after since the sanding will leave it a little cloudy. Thank you for watching! 🥰
Well done babe new sub 😋🥰
Thank you! And thank you for subscribing and supporting my channel! 🥰🥰🥰
How many mills total did you mix? I just got a mold off Amazon and want to try it
You did a great job really!! how long did you leave the resin to thicken before you pour it?
Thank you! I just pour right away! I just wait like 20 to 30 min to put the handles in. Thank you for watching! 🥰
Amount of resin used???
How much weight can these hold?
My resin started burning where did i go wrongg?
It can get really hot if left in the mixing container too long, it needs to be poured and spread out.
So what did you use to paint the gold edge of your mold? Does this gold come off on every tray you make or do you paint the mold every single time?
It’s gold mica powder! You have to reapply before everytime, but it gives an awesome gold look on the edge! Here’s a link if you’re interested: artistryepoxy.com/shop/colorflex-pigments/metallic-gold-mica-powder/
Why did u use clear epoxy first and not colour?
I like to have clear parts so it’s not fully color, it looks more realistic that way. Thank you for watching! 😊
Hi! Where do you get your gold flake from?
Wat r those colors u using ??? Plz tell us
I believe it was a black dye, a white pigment paste, and gold mica. Subscribe to my channel for updates on my color line coming out soon! ☺️
I made my first tray but today it's on my third day and the tray bend in the heat why what do I need to do next time as this was my first one ...??
Well it could be the epoxy you used it not best for trays, or if mixed wrong could cause it to not cure. What epoxy was it?
It's was famowood glaze coat ..but I just bought proMarine brand recently..
So it could just be meant as a thin coat over wood, try this one, it’s hard as rock in molds! artistryepoxy.com/shop/epoxy-resin/tumbler/ 🥰
@@GlazedEpoxy so is the proMarine good for this ??
I’m not sure, I’ve never used it ☺️
Can I use simple lighter instead of torch or heat gun.. or what other thing I can use to remove bubbles ? Can I use paper cups or simple plastic cups for mixing resin ? From where u got silicone mixing cups n beaker ? Can I use normal surgical gloves ?
So I have seen people use a regular lighter instead, it will help but it’s not as effective as a torch. You can also use a blow dryer to move the color around and the heat from that helps pop bubbles as well! The nice thing about the plastic mixing cups is that there are measurements on them to mix your epoxy correctly. I’ve never used paper cups but it could work fine for mixing color into the mixed epoxy. Yes any type of disposable gloves are fine! I get my mixing cups from Amazon in bulk! I hope I answered everything, please let me know if you have any other questions! ❤️☺️
@@GlazedEpoxy thank u so much.. can u share the link for amazon
Here’s the mixing cups! amzn.to/3elZklN
@@GlazedEpoxy thank u so much
Can you please suggest me? What type of epoxy I have to purchase for making tray? I am bit confuse to purchase resin. There are variety of resins.
So get the DIY Artisan Epoxy! It works great for molds, just make sure you use a heat gun to pop all the bubbles. 🥰
Absolutely stunning! Do you sell these?
Thank you! I have some stuff listed on my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/GlazedEpoxy
Thank you for watching! 💕🥰
This turned out so pretty...I love just using 2 colors accented with gold. I subscribed, and I have a channel too. And I also have an online shop of art supplies. 🤗🤗🤗😀
Thank you! Awesome I’ll check out your channel and shop! Thank you for watching! ❤️💕
Awesome! Where do you get your epoxy from?
Thank you! Diyepoxy.com 😄
is it possible for me to use a hair dryer instead of torch?
I would say you could use one instead of a heat gun, it won’t give you as much control though. I tried a several hair dryers before a heat gun. But for getting out the little bubbles I do suggest a torch so you don’t keep moving around the color. Thank you for watching! 💕❤️
Where do you get the torch? How strong is it?
Do you make your handles?
No, I usually get them on Amazon, but I have some molds to make some as well, I just haven’t used them yet ☺️
@@GlazedEpoxy Thank you
hey I have a question how much resin did you use for the tray i need to know if i’ll have enough to make mine?
I think about 12 to 15 ounces, I need to start writing down how much I use lol. But if you pour it and decide it’s too thin, you can add a clear layer of epoxy on top while it’s still in the mold! Thank you for watching! 💕
ok thank you
is it gluee gan?
Glue gun? No I didn’t use glue for anything. It’s a silicone mold from Amazon that the epoxy goes into. 🥰
How much resin did you use?
I want to say about 20 ounces, but I’m not sure. I do need to measure and figure out how much it holds lol. Thank you for watching! 💕💕💕
Where did the gold edge come from? Beautiful tray.
Thank you! I lined the edge of the mold with gold mica powder mixed with alcohol before I poured! Thank you for watching! ❤️
Where do you get the mica powder and gold? Do you just mix it together and then spread it on edges?
