Hi Steve, thank you for this share. I’m doing pieces with LED’s for the first time tomorrow and you’ve convinced me to give this a go 😊 Now I’m off to binge watch your other video’s!
Ya know when I move into my new home, my room mate is going to swear I've hidden you somewhere bc I'm going to start using all of your ideas. I'm relocating to the mountains before Spring. I can just hear him now.
Thank you!! I'll be putting LEDs into a cube mold to make the Tesseract from the Marvel movies for my upcoming Loki cosplay, and was wondering how to do it!
I love this idea. I have a possible tip to help you with lining up the LEDs ... what about placing a paper clip between each mold and hooking the wire under the paperclip? Just a suggestion.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I will do mate i will also add some glow in the dark pigment and then will continue to glow after the lights go out thinking a project for sons new room.
Cool ideas . . . is the resin strong enough to support a bracket? I'm trying to creatively add LEDs to a pergola and if i could somehow attach an L bracket to the resin mold, I could directly attach the LED/resin combo to the pergola. . .
Hi Steve! Love your videos! You explain things very clearly. I havea question. I'm a newbie to resin and right now I am using JDiction Epoxy Resin for all my molds. I've heard you mention different types of Resin for different molds. Could you explain the difference and uses for them? Do I need to use different resin for different molds? thank you!
Is there a link you could share to which lights you purchased on Amazon? We're looking at a similar project but only need one or two lights. We're having the worst time finding something that will work well that isn't 16' long! Thanks!
😀💜 Have you thought of trying to secure the lights in place with a bit of if resin, then topping off the mold? Or even suspending them from a dowel or something beforehand and then submerging them all simultaneously? Hmmmm.....ideas.....
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts Oh you're very welcome I adore your art very much and so glad we have become friends, I am redoing the angel head I was just unhappy with it and doing the hair has been the challenge but I think I found a way to achieve the look. I may do a poll to see how each one fares . I also did the skirt over as well and Im pleased with it now I need to get some E6000 later this week to attach to the board.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts Its not that it has to be perfection but the revisions look promising I bought some wool and that is what I used on angel head in photo I posted I need to watch his tutorial.Can't wait to see the coffee table I bet its gorgeous.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts That is true and hopefully I have worked out the kinks lol....I will be happy to see the table it may give me inspiration for another board I want to try.
I have a 16 inch led strips that I want to embed in clear resin creating a long rectangular cube. Will the led lights create a lot of heat within the resin and can this create a problems within the cube long term? What is the best “clear” resin for my application?
What happens when the lights burn out? I was thinking about using some small clear tubing to push the lights through so they can be replaced. I do a lot of memorial pieces..would want them stuck with burned out or broken lights down the road. What do you think?
I personally haven't had led diode lights burn out yet, but I wouldn't recommend using a tube with lights. Not only will it be dimmer, just from not being as efficiently reflected and refracted from the resin (because of the air bubble within the tube) but I think it sounds impossible to remove and replace the lights inside. If the tube is bent at all, I just don't think it's practical. If you're that worried, make your piece along with a stand for it to set on top and have the light in the stand shining up through the project.
Hi Steve, thank you for this share. I’m doing pieces with LED’s for the first time tomorrow and you’ve convinced me to give this a go 😊 Now I’m off to binge watch your other video’s!
Have you ever thought of using the "black" lights/purple with the glow in the dark powder? Would that work?
Hi Steve, thank you for this share. I’m doing pieces with LED’s for the first time tomorrow and you’ve convinced me to give this a go 😊 Now I’m off to binge watch your other video’s!
WOW!!! I had no idea that you could put lights in the resin. You just Keep showing better and better things to to, thank you😁
Very informative as usual, instead of battery LEDs can you use ones that run on electricity? Warmest wishes to you Steve.
I used bent paper clips to 'pin' the wire between each mold piece when I did something similar! Made it sooo much easier
Hi sir, I just discovered resin art and I want to thank you for this one on the lights.
Ya know when I move into my new home, my room mate is going to swear I've hidden you somewhere bc I'm going to start using all of your ideas. I'm relocating to the mountains before Spring. I can just hear him now.

Thanks for the tutorial mate. This has been really helpful for a project i'm planning
You could make The Tesseract from The Avengers with this if you make it blue 😊
Love this, will give it a go, just need the lights x
they are so cool I have not started using the LED lights yet but I will soon I think...
Super nice! Thank you for sharing.
Easy to understand..thanks so much...may try this in a pyramid.
🎉Very cool 😎 😊
Great idea and so pretty.
Love these! Hope you are doing great!
Awesome! Thank you! 🙌🤗
very cool might give that a go in the future.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I will do mate i will also add some glow in the dark pigment and then will continue to glow after the lights go out thinking a project for sons new room.

Hi Steve, where do I find the link to the lights please. I'm looking at Amazon but don't have a clue what I should buy.
Outer space indeed sir. That would be a Tasseract
Hi - please can you give a link to the Christmas decoration molds ?
Oh what fun!
Is there a link you could share to which lights you purchased on Amazon? We're looking at a similar project but only need one or two lights. We're having the worst time finding something that will work well that isn't 16' long! Thanks!
Lovely

UV resin.not if resin 🙄 autocorrect
Cool I do insect in resin
Ok I will try 👍
Where is the link to the lights
Where are the links for the kit
Good morning Steve so brilliant and gorgeous I love, love and love...:)

Nice job. how long the battery last? Do you use Ip67 / 68 rating fairy lights?
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts ok, because normally to be immersed they need to be at least IP 67 rating. No heating problem?

Did you ever put it into a Vacuum chamber like this? I want to make a glowing figure, so Bubbles wouldnt be too nice
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I see, thank you anyway. I'm also just thinking of buying one, as it would make casting figures way easier.
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts Thank you. I just was about to google what I should go for. ^^
Links to molds yet? Resin, glitter & alcohol ink?
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts That's alright...we still love you anyway!
