I opted to get the LETS RESIN heating mat. You heat for 2 hours, cool for 30 min and it’s fully cured. I didn’t want to have to deal with the size of my mold fitting in the machine and it was less than 1/2 the price.
Wow wow wow!! I feel like this would be a game changer for me! This would be perfect for earring making and heating the resin! Since moving away from the desert and dealing with humidity this would be such a huge life saver! Thank you for doing this video!!
Very cool!!! I'm loving the light switches!!! When I redid my daughters room years ago, we tried to find one not too kiddy like. It's hard. That would have been a good option!!
I knew a person who baked her coasters, because they were not set up fully cured. It worked too, so I’m sure this is another baking method. But Platinum 360 has some new resins that cure in 2-4 hrs, I’m excited to get them hopefully soon
I would be scared to eat food used in my oven again if I baked them. Lol. But that's cool it worked. New resin that sets up in 2-4 hours 😲 that's awesome.
@@naptimecreations yea, she wanted to give gifts of coasters to some party she was going to and ran out of time. She asked me about the baking method, but I hadn’t heard of that. I can’t remember how long she had to bake though
Hi Tish. I’ve had my eye on that machine but noticed a few people left reviews stating that the resin dryer ruined their silicone molds. Others stated that a dehydrator worked better. Please follow up with your viewers if you notice your molds melting or stretching out..or buckling in.
I haven't noticed that, I think any negative reviews are user error. The company has videos showing them covering the hole in the center of the tray. I didn't do that any my molds were fine. Maybe people are covering the hole in the center of the tray with their molds? The machine gets very hot. It also depends on the type of silicone the mold was made from. Cheaper molds are not made with quality silicone. Maybe they were using the cheap clear machine made molds with this Machine? It worked great for me.
Thank you 🤗 I couldn't believe it, I was like really of all the times you have to throw up is when I'm testing this machine out 😅😆 thanks for watching 🤗💙
@@naptimecreations Amazing isn't it, just when you think you got it made. I am especially not a happy camper when I have worked all day and find a puddle OR A POO in the carpet, I JUST CLEANED😬🤢
I just bought one Tish not the same brand but works the same. Going to give it a go today. How do you decide how long and the temp to put it on? Thanks for the demo xxxx
Awesome, I'm sure you will love it. This one has an A.I button press it and it does the temp automatically. The temp changes throughout the 2 hour session. It starts out at 95F Does yours have an A.I button?
Do you mean to say this hardens the resin in two hours instead of like 24h??? That is amazing! Must be so much timesaving if you want to make something and you are in a rush!
Will a resin curing machine cure sticky resin,, as I've got it up and running now first time used since I got it,,, as I tryed to cure some pieces last night,,,and forgot to use my machine,, it was left for 24 hours but was still sticky,, I used 2 part apoxy craft resin from Lets Resin in equal quantities,,,,I done an Amber frog and lizard and seahorse,and I'm worried that it won't cure up,, I think I've got it set on Ai ,but can't see where you turn the dial too,controls don't seem marked. Thanks for any help much appreciated.
Hi, unfortunately no it won't cure sticky resin. Sticky resin happens when it's undermixed or not 100% equal parts A and B. I use the double mix method, it ensures your resin is 100% mixed. I show in this video how I do the double mix method to mix my resin ua-cam.com/video/AHOuskyN_DM/v-deo.html
@@naptimecreations Thankyou for your help,, I thought it might have been were I added too much glitter,, but might have been the mixing,, it was very hot here too at the time weather was like it for the past few days, I'll try again, but wil pay more attention on equal quantity,,, and mixing . Tha ks again
I bought this and have tried many times. My pieces are constantly off level because the middle sinks from the weight of the resin. UGH! Has anyone else had this issue? This happens even when I avoid the open circle that has a little ledge around it.
You can cover the hole with your molds. I have been watching their tutorial videos on Instagram and they cover the hole on the trays every time. Maybe try again covering the hole to make the tray more level.
I have the new deeper trays and the hole in the middle does not have a lip any longer. The trays are now level also. It works really well now with the new trays and they were only $30 on Amazon.
I had bought the original. It sagged and was not very big… it failed after 2-3 uses and was returned… I bought a food dehydrator instead and it works PERFECT! I do 2 hours on high (158*f) for w hours, cool and cured perfectly, not bendy, not brittle and not sticky!

Does the hole in the middle have a raised lip around it? Or is it flush with the rest of the tray? I think I remember an Amazon review saying that the hole was really inconvenient because you couldn't put stuff over the hole without making your mold uneven
It's flush, you can cover the hole without issues. They have videos on their Instagram where they use the machine with the hole covered. I just decided not to cover it in this video but they have several videos on their Instagram where they use it with the hole covered.
If you have the tray upside down it will leave a lip for you to work around. I actually made the mistake of placing the tray in wrong one time and I thought it was the end of the world 🤣🤭🤔🙄 I did correct my mistake. 😊
Because that’s all it is! A used dehydrator from a thrift shop does the exact same thing and has sturdier trays. There are videos of people comparing them and the result is the same. 😉

Is it totally level?
@@naptimecreations I bought a piece of wood and leveled it for the heating mat. I don’t use that wood for anything but the mat.
@@disneydona9707 ooohh good idea. Thank you 🤗🤗🤗
Hi I can not find that LETS RESIN heating mat anywhere I live in Australia
I have the previous model - came with a silicone expansion ring for deeper molds. Absolutely love it!
That's awesome, I wish mine had that. I'll have to see if I can order that part. Thanks for watching 😊
It was great to see that machine tested out. I've been curious as to how well that works. Thank you!
Thanks Lisa, it works really well I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for watching 💙🤗
HI Tish, I was so very happy for you that you are pleased with the total outcome of the machine & the end results of your resin Pieces Lin 👍❤️✨
Thanks so much Lin 🌹🤗 I hope you have a wonderful weekend and thanks for watching 💜🌹

Love ur vids
Thank you 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
@@naptimecreationsdo you have any ideas I can do for my channel I would love to do it
What if your room temp is below 70?
Then your resin might not set up properly.
Does it mention what temp it runs at?
Yes, it changes temp throughout the 2 hour cycle and it shows it on the screen that's on the front of the machine.
