Absolutely I’m going to watch anything that starts ‘why I regret not using Vaseline’ 👍🤣🤣
petroleum gel fiestas at night long 🤣
Steve! You are probably THE only UA-camr that has collabed with a company and hasn't charged hundreds of dollars for your kit!! I thank you so very much for that! You truly are a peach my dear!! 🖤❤️
Ditto!!!
If like to share something with you, I do paint and is sketched and painted a galeon ship with a saying next to it."Ships don't sink because of the water around then, they sink because of the water that gets in them,don't let what's happening around you get inside you and weigh you down."
I really like that saying!
Daniel Cooper here on youtube did this with baby lotion, now going to try both ;)
Love Daniel's channel! I tried the lotion, but I'm also gonna try this.
Tea and Art also uses Vaseline with great success. So many genius resin artists on UA-cam, I have a hard time keeping up 🤣 My pocketbook cries Everytime someone does a a new experiment too 🤣😝
I did it with lotion from Daniel Cooper. Perfect but I managed to hit it before it cured so a little smudge. Love the in the fridge routine with vaseline. Rushing to craft table now!😊
Daniel has also used vasoline. I haven't watched those videos yet but I saw a thumbnail. The biggest problem I would think there would be with using vasoline is how difficult it is to clean off afterwards.
You know Steve I believe you've solved the issue of the consistency by putting the item in fridge to stabilize the Vaseline.I believe this is a better technique than lotion honestly.😊
I tried this last night and it worked. Thanks for sharing
i totally love the whole “washing up liquid” man that’s great. Here it’s called dish washing liquid or dish soap.
Very cool! Love using the freezer to set the vaseline. And yes they do the same with pastry to set the butter.
This one has my mind spinning with ideas!
I never would have thought of this. So, thank you very much. ♥️
LOVE this technique, Steve! Genius! 😊💕👍 My favorite are the leaves pattern.
Thank you!! I will definitely be trying this!!
I loved thank you I watch your video everyday cause of you I'm learning allot from you!❤thank you
Steve- I was thinking the same thing!! I have stencils on order to try this, and I'm so glad you did it. I want to try it with clear resin. I bet it will give it an etched look. Anyway, thanks for trying this! I love your videos! 😊
This looks just all kinds of fun!
Beautifully done
I love that idea. I will show you my projects.
You come up with the coolest ideas, Steve! That turned out great!
Ingenious idea ❤
I really like how this turned out. Thank you for the idea & inspiration. I think the tray would look great if you put some gold leaf or gold glitter or even just a dusting of gold mica powder and then a nice top coat. That might look elegant. Thank you!
😮😮that's freaking amazing. So cool. Thanks for sharing!!❤
I got my kit the other day! Happy happy joy joy! 😁
YES!!! OMG such a kicka** technique! Wish I would've found YOU sooner! ❤
Lovely results. I have loads of stencils for my card making.
Brilliant idea Steve. You are very clever
This is fantastic. Im definitely going to try it
Daniel Cooper did this technique with baby lotion which came out lovely but do like your tip putting in fridge to firm it up great idea
I love this idea ❤
I've been using baby lotion with stencils. It works quite well for me. I made several trays for Christmas (2023) gifts. I've also rubbed the mold with mica power first then put the stencil dpwn to covering it with lotion. It worked really well. I did leave the lotion on for several hours to days just depending on my schedule. Lotion whipped off really easily.
I'm also wanting to do cameos. Looking for small face and animals stencils to work with.
Love this and can't wait to try it.
That's such a a good idea! I have a whole container of petroleum jelly and a bunch of stencils. I'll definitely try this out.
i love the technique
Those came out really great!
What a great idea.😊❤
That’s so awesome Steve your awesome love your experiments and creations ❤I am going to try this so cool 👍 !!!
What a success 😀!
Awesome job! I love this but, I think for me, I would of done a thin top coat of clear resin to finish them off.✌
Totally amazing
Just lovely.
I used body butter and they came out lovely looked like they were etched 😍
I use gloss medium and put pigment in the medium to add colour
Wow, thats awesome. I inherited box's and box's of resin mpulds from my mum who passed away. When it gets warmer here in the UK i'm definitely going to experiment. I've already bought mica powders and colours, i already have tons of glitter, i've been glitter mad for years, so i cannot wait to start making things. Thank you for your video's, i think its great to gather as much info and tips before i start. I just need someone to clean my shed out so i can use it as a craft room 😂😂
very loveley i will try it 💗💗💗
I love working with resin it fun and enjoyable
How did you know I have a lot of stencils I've hardly used in my rubber stamping stash? 😄 I can't wait to try this. Thank you for sharing. I have a lot of small ones, even brass ones, and I keep those in a cheap photo album I got at the dollar store, because they are about the size of a photo (remember those?) and each folder holds one. I use a large paper clip to keep the top of each sleeve closed.
Hope you’re starting to feel better xx
❤this idea
Love it. Would it work if you placed the stencil back in the tray and then 'painted' over the stencil. Just thinking it might make it easier
First time here. This is good.
Cool technique.
This is a first for me these are so beautiful love it. Love the Tappy Wappy I couldn’t stop laughing you are so fun to watch.
Interesting video and I'm looking forward to your next Vaseline/stencil one! Also wondering if it would work with regular casting resin.
Amazing ❤
What a wonderful technique, Thank you for sharing and take care
Ooooo yeah luv these 😍😍😍😍😍
That looks great. Coujod you not add a dtrong color mica picment into the vaseline beforehand then refrigerate for a hour ? Make it stand out a little more !
I tried this a couple times with lotion after seeing Daniel Cooper do it. But an issue I had with the lotion was that it was too thin even after putting it in the fridge. I'll have to try it with Vaseline too, thank you!
(I made a couple videos intending for them to be Christmas themed but couldnt edit them in time to post for Christmas 😅)
Very cool!❤
great idea, question,how did the molds hold up. I saw this done with baby lotion but someone had mentioned that it left imprint on mold so I didn't try it as I don't have that many molds.
I'm still getting started with non-uv resin, but if I put acrylic paint in the indentations, and then did a layer over the whole thing of transparent resin that would seal the paint in as well right?
i'd love to see if you can dust the hardened vaseline to get a colored etching if you dont mind trying that on a video please. this is an awesome technique and great for people who do resin but might not be able to afford silicone for inlays. tyvm!
I tried the lotion and it was too messy if you did big leaves or petals (sunflowers for me) so found vaseline did perfectly for big spaces, after watching Daniel , so good on you for going straight to vaseline...
I have also used the baby lotion with a little success, but I found that a thicker body butter (£1.00 from Poundland) was better. I will be trying the vaseline now 😀
Ah I wondered if you would get to this technique sometime :) Fun isn't it. Nice work Steve. Baby lotion works well too, and if you have 2 or 3 identical stencils you can stack them for a deeper relief
Hi Steve, watch all your videos, doing a great job. I'm just starting out and was wondering what your thoughts are about heat mats?
Keep up the great work
Very cool! How do you fix those "bubble chips" or holes on the side of the tray? I get those a lot.
I have done this with baby lotion too before. Would like to try both and compare the result.
WOW 😮😮😮 HOW COOL
Thanks!
I have seen another youtuber use lotion instead of Vaseline and it comes out gorgeous. It goes on a little easier if you put it in a precision glue bottle before applying it. Then you can use stencils or not if you choose. And easy to wipe away mistakes. He used uv resin, but may work with regular resin. I do not know for certain.
u can make ur own pigment paste... most of us will have left over resin "A" - use that and use a pouring pigment...but u can get specific paint for this too... :)
Hi Steve Yep Vaseline works well especially after a coffee ☕️ break yeah 😽 good work yeah love K4ttt ❤
I tried vasoline as a mold release once and it is super hard to clean off molds. I've found using anything to wipe the inside of the molds out to clean off the vasoline ends up ruining your mold. It gets scratched and shows on the next piece you make in it.
The Jdiction colored UV resin on Amazon in the States is sold out until further notice. 🤦It's a shame because I really wanted to try them. Great idea, Steve. They turned out beautifully.
I can never find the link for your new pack as I would love one but I also don't know if Australia can receive it?
Very pretty 😍
If you was to mix ink or pigment into the Vaseline would the “embossed” areas pick up the colour?
Hi Steve. Love your work 🎉 Any idea when your tool kit will be available on Amazon? It’s currently unavailable in the UK 😢
For the bubbles, could you have put that resin in one of those smaller vacuum chamber things, before you poured it?
Could you dust the frozen jelly with mica powder to embed the color?
Not only can you make your own stencils... there are SOOOO many free svgs out there... and you can make them too. I totally got bitten by the create your own paper bug and played a lot on inkscape making seamless repeating patterns... SO much fun. I love them for cardmaking. Of course... you better believe I have some cardmaking stensils too.
I was wondering if you could get away with dusting the vaseline with a color of micro powder before popping it into the freezer and then pour the resin or do you think the powder would just go everywhere once the resin is poured?
Very pretty.
I think Tea and Art used vaseline, too, but I can't remember if she had a stencil. I've been meaning to try this (or the baby lotion method), but I'm still waiting for the weather to warm up. I think the acrylic paint looks really nice on the pattern, but they were really pretty even without anything. And now I'm thinking, gold leaf would look awesome, too...❤
Was thinking how vaseline will take a dry micropowder if applied before the stencil is removed 🤔
Hmmmm!
I was thinking the same. I plan to also try refrigerating before removing the stencil in hopes that this will help clumsy me maintain the crisp lines when I remove the stencil. My next thought was if mixing a bit of corn starch or talc would help stabilize the petroleum jelly and possibly make it easier to apply a light coat of mica powder.
@@fairyspunfibers9098 Yep. My little gray cells are humming away.
what is the difference in the viscosity ? Like low and Medium ?
Just thought of some thing that might help you get some windows putty squeeze in hand until very soft then on a very flat surface like glass with the stencil on it use the plastic applicator spread the putty over mould then put in fridge 😅❤
Ps or use old credit card
Hmmmm, could you use a mica powder mixed with the Vaseline to give your design color? I wonder if that would work...
A strange suggestion, would it possibly work if the vaseline is coloured, I would guess, with mica powders, as an alternative to using the UV resin? just a thought
Black diamond mica pigments are beautiful but that's mica powder not alcohol inks and baby lotion works the same way. Also I wonder now if you could color the Vaseline before hand....
I think you could use a dremel to trim the edge of the bigger piece and get rid of those bubble blemishes.
tht is pretty 😍
Ive tried this with lotion. Daniel Cooper gave me the idea.
Tea and Art used vaseline. 😊
I've seen people use regular baby lotion. I think it might work better because you don't have to worry about it melting like you do with the Vaseline.
❤ your expiramets, wish I had a good setup to do resin :/ I recently saw a guy use something I think called resin clay or reusable resin, and he did some similar stuff w/ stencil to this, and that was interesting as well. His name is Daniel Cooper, I think.
How about putting some Mica powder on the Vaseline just before you pull the stencil off? No futzing around with trying to paint it later.
They are saying that they are out of the mold maker that you are using and do not know if it will be back in stock in the USA .Where can we buy it ?
Daniel Cooper originated this idea and his most recent video really improves on the process in the most amazing ways.
Hello Steve!
Hi Steve! I just wanted to thank you for making these videos and inspiring so many of us! While watching, I found myself wondering if you could use the Cricut to make stencils from plastic jugs, like laundry soap or distilled water? That way you could keep them longer? I'm not really knowledgeable about Cricuts, so I figured you might know.
The Cricut Explore machines won’t cut thick plastic like milk jugs. You can use them to cut stencils from transparency film, though.
I recently discovered that vasaline also works with hot glue too.
