How to Skilfully Highlight The Tiny Details in Your Resin Work
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2021
- Rather than spending hours using a marker pen or paintbrush to highlight the little details in you resin casting, the method I demonstrate here can be done in just a few seconds. It is a great way for you to highlight those small indents that come with some moulds so that people can see them.

I've had good results using a ball stylus tool for filling lines, like the kind used for sculpting. I find it fills the lines with more paint than when I try to brush or rub it in. Your mileage may vary, of course!
Thank you so much! I was doing this process on my resin crafts in the most painstakingly slow way. Bought pens and everything. I’m so thankful for you & your patience and helping us all be the best at resin. 🦋. I’m so happy I found your videos. New subbie here to stay. Again, thank you and stay amazing & safe!
Excellent advice! I was telling my daughter about something I saw on your channel the other day and she said "Mom, was that on that Steve guys channel?". Apparently I reference your channel more than I thought! Keep up the good work.
Genius!!
Steve, you are a genius!!!! I have been very busy moving to the mountains and I am now in my new home and unpacking. I haven't been watching much. I am so glad to be back to watch your videos which inspire me and just make me happy. It won't be long before I'll be back to using my resin as well. Thank you for being you hun!
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts You and your huney are welcome to come and visit.
Look great, I use that technique but using a thin black or gold resin. 😀
Brilliant idea
You are a genius!!! Thank You Steve!!! This looks way easier than using micro brushes to fill in all the little bits. Filling in my engraved pieces will be a breeze.
Wow, thank you. I'm just beginning to learn about Resin and have learned so much from your videos. I just received some molds with saying and I was struggling on how to fill those in. Again one of your videos answered that question. Thank you thank you.
Thanks
You're brilliant! I've been doing it similarly but I've been painting it onto the piece with a brush and THEN trying to get the excess off with a towel, but you're way it even more effective! Thank you!
I feel like I’m in resin college! I am learning so much from you!!!
Thanks!
This technique is a life saver! I pour the paint onto the piece and use a silicone brush to push it around and then wipe the excess off when its dry.
That's how I do it, too. 👍
Definitely going to try this as my painting skills are crap. Thank you so much. Love your videos 😁
That's amazing!! Your method the fastest and easiest I've ever seen!! I'm going to try this, thank you Steve!!
Wow, great idea. Thanks Steve.
Thankyou
Great idea. Thanks 😊
I know I’ve watched this video before but I came back looking for different ways to color my molds. Some molds are so hard to color, especially with mica powders in in detailed areas before pouring in the epoxy. I’m on the hunt for all different ways now. Thank you 😊
I'm doing exactly the same! x
Now that was helpful thanks
The details that come out are wonderful! Will definitely keep this is mind for the future. Thank you Steve!!
Wow! That's a fantastic result
Love the trick with the gold paint on the casting. Remarkable. Surprised you're not wearing gloves, but you seem to stay paint free. Good job...
Brilliant idea. Thank you
Thank you for showing this video now I will buy molds with those small detailsthat I have been avoiding for so many years
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!❤❤❤
Genius. Thank you.
Brilliant!
Fabulous! Thank you
Amazing! Never would have thought of that! Thank you
Such a good idea!!
Oh wow wonderful! So much easier then trying to hand paint! Super thank you!
What a fab idea thanks Steve 😄
That’s awesome!
What a grea idea, nice & quick & easy! Great tip
This video has been so useful
Definitely gonna try this tomorrow with my molds...
Thanks Steve you just answered my question. I wasn't looking forward to getting paint brush out
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts Only I used glitter glue not paint, oops. Teach me to label things
Thank you for this, I have a large piece like your coaster, I'll give this a go today 😊
What a great quick tip... I've seen so many other vids where they're painting on thick acrylic and waiting for it to dry... then having trouble rubbing it off etc... Well done indeed Sir... 🤩
i've alwayssss wondered how people do this!!
omg this helped SO MUCH THANK YOU
Do you need to put anything over it to keep the paint from coming off or is it just set once dried?
Thank you!!! That's so much easier than the way I've been doing the fillings. The details show up so well. I really like the gold on the blue. Hope you have a great day. Ringy-dingy🎶🎶💋💖
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts 🦋🦋🤗
Nice!
Wow love this idea 💡. Off I go now and sort my bits out x
Thank you so much. I've just made detailed keychains and didn't know how to get the lines colored!!
I love watching your videos so inspiring and good Ideas. I hope you can see what I have tried to do with my resin.
WoW 😮, that’s just what I am struggling with right this very moment…!
Great vid and thanks 🙏🏻 big time 👍👍👍👍🙏🏻💙
Now that is pretty cool thank you been wondering how to do this
THANK YOU for sharing! Your videos are incredibly helpful! Should the paint be sealed in any way afterwards? Or does the paint do well at not coming off?
This is so incredibly helpful! Wow! I shake too bad to get nice crisp lines and your video just popped up when I was researching ideas. I will be watching more, I love how you think outside the box!
One question: What kind of paint did you use? Acrylic? 😊
That turned out really well! I'm wondering of you can do the same technique with wax?
Thank you for sharing this! Very cool technique. Once the acrylic paint dries, can i apply a top coat of resin to seal it?
Looks good but would you not seal it with a thin coat of resin? 😘
Ooh yes, a lovely pour or big phat dome ...
Wont it come off? Oh yea i would add a clear resin over. Cool
Love this! Ive been having issues with bubbles forming on those detailed spots, any techniques youd suggest to help avoid that ? Or to mix those micro bubbles that got caught
I shall use that technique in my next feather bookmark. Will the paint wash off later? Or should it be sealed as you suggest?
Awesome Steve,
I never thought of doing it that way. I thought it would all rub off. Glad to see you show this.
I have a question though, would you please by chance do a video on different resins & there purpose. I'm pretty new to resin & get so confused on what one to bye & which projects they work best on.
I've seen so many, Polly, casting, deep pour, one for canvas, table top, boats , thick ones, thin ones. Right now I have KS resin but no matter how hard I try I can never get all the bubbles out & it is thick. On little things I make such a mess. I'm just really confused, I always look for non yellowing, heat resistant, & food safe. But I also need cost efficient because I have a very limited income.
Anyway thank you so much for all your videos, I never miss them if I can help it.
Deb
Please excuse the misspelling I was hurrying. LOL
What makes polyester resin better than epoxy resin for this technique?
Polyurethane not polyester. Lol
This is like magic! I love this tip, thanks Steve.
What’s the best type of paint to use
Cool beans😁👍🏾👏🏽👏🏽tyfs!
What kind of paint? Just water based acrylic?
I wish I knew where the molds where actually bought. I got the one you link and it looks nothing like the one you made
which 3d printer did you buy
🤯🤯🤯
Yes but how do you but the stamp image in the molds?
Do you need to put a coating over the finished top to keep the paint from flaking? Also, could you use the same technique on the MOLD before pouring to get the paint to be under the resin?
11 months late but I'll reply anyway! You can't put it on the mould because it's raised where the details are, rather than sunken in so there's nowhere for you to actually put the paint
Does it work to use permanent marker on silicone molds
Does that work on epoxy resin also?
Hey Steve, I was wondering this works great on indentations, and you're super at showing us the tricks of the trade, but what about if the pattern is raised!! 😳
Small amount of paint on a little sponge (dabber) get excess paint off on paper or something, then lightly dab dab dab and repeat until you get it dark enough where you want it.
@@zamnelna oh you're fab... Thank you...😀 I'm a big noob and am learning so much watching Steve's bits n bobs.. x
Hi if it’s raised you can use an acrylic paint pen on the design before you pour. Maybe we can get Steve to demonstrate! I watch Sheena do it on Instagram.
Is that acrylic paint and do you have to seal it after it dries?
Omgggg what is that red pigment powder?! 😍 I'm in America
Where did you find the mold with the flowers
What kind of paint are you using please?
Are those details both raised and indented?
what type of paint are you using
How much resin do u mix together? Not sure how much is 1.1 measure of A and B part together. We did a small cross resin mold, the resin mold cross is not curring after a week. My hubby and I are so new to resin.
Steve I've tried to use polyurethane resin a few times, but I seem to get an oily finish, wat am I doing wrong lol xx
When I use baby wipes it seems to take the paint off
What kind of paint did you use? Also what kind of paper did you use to apply the paint? I ask about the paper because sometimes if I use paper towel I end up with fibers on the paint...
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts Thank you!
I want those molds! Did the person who sent them make them custom for you??
Oooh yes... This is what I was thinking too 🤞
I would like to get them as well
I got cloudy that I am doing I need to know what is the best polish I send them down there waiting for me to polish them but I need to know what's the good polish I brought some but it seemed like it ain't doing nothing I guess I need a machine
Check Steve's past videos. He showed how to polish dull bits very easily with resin some months ago.... May have ever been last year. I've been using that technique with great results. Steve is the best at sharing with us🦋🦋🦋
I ALWAYS forget that alcohol makes the resin dull and then wonder why it's not as shiny when I use it 😅
on the flower one, you cleaned off some of the paint in the bigger spaces. you could use a q-tip for ones like that if you want a more vibrant paint.
I feel like I’m in resin college! I am learning so much from you!!!
