    When I first came upon your channel and wonderful creations, I was in a pretty dark place. UV resin was the first thing I gave a go after seeing what you did with it and, I'm sure you've heard this sentiment lots of times from your other subscribers and members, but it was genuinely the beginning of coming out of that darkness and rediscovering my love for crafting and making arty things. There are absolutely no words that could properly convey how much I value your existence, Steve. You have made a massive difference to me and, I am deeply grateful to you. Thank you for all that you do mate 💜✨🌈

      I've been in a dark place since falling down stairs while I was on holiday (I'm teetotal).
      I tore ligaments and muscles in my foot and ankle and it put me in a deep depression .
      I have been feeling sorry for myself since July so I have started to binge watch all of Steve's videos since then to cheer me up

    You can solve the sticky resin issue a lot of the time by putting the piece in a glass of water, then running it for another 180 seconds. It is a result of too much oxygen getting onto the resin, and stops it from curing properly, but putting it in Water stops that from happening.

    P.S. Do you have the earring mold that looks like a candy corn? I have some really nice glow in the dark UV resin and wanted to make some, but I am having problems with the layers. Any tips?

    • @ginalombardi2507
      @ginalombardi2507 2 місяці тому

      With UV it just comes out of the bottle. Resins that have to be mixed with a hardener is a different process. You can fill it up with dried beans or popcorn kernels. Or you can do the same with water. Then put the beans or water in a measuring cup. With molds that would be difficult to pour out the beans or water, I suggest the following. Put some water in a measuring cup and pout it into the mold. If you have two cups of water and you use a cup you have your measurement. Use a water proof market and write the amount on the back of the mold.
