I've done hot glue molds over things like doll faces. Then use clay to make the item. But I didn't actually think of using resin in the hot glue mold. I'm a little surprised that the metal items need a release agent of some kind. But this is a great way to do it Mark, using the silicone coaster molds. Thanks Mark
I have a huge cache of metal adornments given to me by my sister when she worked for Tan Jays in Winnipeg, this would be perfect for this project, so thank you Mark for this idea xox
Love that idea Robin! Sounds like the perfect solution, too! *follow me on Instagram if you're there, too! Lots of different content that I don't post here! instagram.com/themarkmontano/reels/
Loving this idea Mark! I got to go shopping for some new products and I love to shop! Who doesn't like to shop? Right? Got to have one of those glue pots. Have a great week!
Thank you so much! It was a fun process to learn Jade! *follow me on Instagram if you're there, too! Lots of different content that I don't post here! instagram.com/themarkmontano/reels/
Morning Jasmine! You're so right. This glue pot came in really handy and I seem to be using it more and more lately! Plus I love UV resin! *follow me on Instagram if you're there, too! Lots of different content that I don't post here! instagram.com/themarkmontano/reels/
What I like about that see-through hurt when you got it done is you can put a picture of anybody behind it like on Valentine's Day you could put your mom's picture in it your partner's picture and it that is really cool how clear it came out that's beautiful what a cool idea I can't wait to find me one of them little pots that's kind of need
That little glue pot is amazing and I can toss in any unused molded pieces I made for other projects. Since I fill silicone molds all the time sometimes I have extras and they go right in the pot!
You are so welcome Kathy! Happy New Year! BTW, I'm launching a Patreon page in January with projects that I don't share anywhere else, only with my Patreon friends. I'd love it if you would consider joining me there so that I can keep sharing what I learn on my creative path. www.patreon.com/Make_Your_Mark
Wanted to let you know that my NEW Patreon is up and running now.The other site had a glitch. I hope it will allow me to keep doing what I'm doing and share content I don't share anywhere else - not here on UA-cam or FB or Instagram...Just on Patreon. Take a peek and subscribe if you're able! It would mean a lot! Thanks!
Very kind of you to say Pinky! Glad you like the project! Find me on Instagram if you're there, too! I'd love to see you there! instagram.com/themarkmontano/reels/
I appreciate your efforts. I'm looking at this video from a safety point of view. There are so many other ways to go about this. RTV Rubber 1:1 is the absolute best way to go when it comes to making molds for plaster wax and resin. The use of hot glue can be extremely dangerous being that it gets hot enough to completely remove your skin down to a 4th degree burn! I'm witness to this as it has actually happened to me! There is also a wonderful mold release spray that can be used in place of hot melted candle wax. Also very dangerous. As I said earlier, I appreciate all of your efforts in creating this video, but I feel it could be re created using RTV Rubber instead of hot glue. Thanks...
Hi Mark, I saw this product and my first thought was "I can make fancy molds using IOD design molds and Design with Prima molds." Can I? I am not crazy about using resin for making these molds and the air dry clay sometimes is too heavy, like on a picture frame etc. Please let me know if you tried using these this way and, if you did, how did it work out? Thank you.
@@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark great. Thank you. I really appreciate it. I was counting on your quick response. This looks like an answer to my dilemma. Here i go.
Hi Mark, an update. I decided to use the hot glue skillet from surebonder to melt the hot glue for my picture molds (I don't want to put the heavy weight of air dry clay on a photo frame I will hang on the wall, and, at the same time, I don't want to use resin). What I found out is: 1. Use extra fine surebinder hot glue (I think I followed your recommendation of it from a few years back) to put hot glue into the fine details of the molds. 2. Use a SILICON spoon to spoon out hot glue out from that skillet to level off the mold. I spread it like a frosting on top of the mold. (metal spoons which is what you used are a menace because hot glue sticks to it firmly. I kind of "ruined" 2 of my spoons. But, thanks to www.youtube.com/@Themakersworkbench tip, I poured rubbing alcohol on my spoons. Let is settle in and was able to pry the hot glue off using a wooden skewer. Thank God). 3. Do the whole project on top of a silicon surface. Otherwise, hot glue will destroy the surface (I kind of messed up a bit of my kitchen table in the process). Actually, for less detailed molds, just spreading hot glue from the skillet does a pretty good job, if you are not a perfectionist. Just break any air bubbles before they dry up. I am using these as borders on my photo frames, so they don't need to be perfect. Thank you.

An idea can change your life... And this is a good 💡idea 💡
It really can! I totally agree with you!
Good idea! That hot glue pot would be super handy for lots of things, I'll bet
I seem to be using it a lot lately! Morning Lara!
What a fun idea! I got one of those pots for Christmas but haven't used it yet.
Those pots are really handy Michelle! I really like mine!

The hot glue pot does get very hot🔥🔥!! I love it, great to dip faux flower stems in and place in a wreath too!
I knew there were other uses for it but I just haven't worked with it enough! Thanks!
Happy Monday Mark thanks for teaching us how to make a mold now I can create my own designs ❤😊❤
Happy Monday Liz!
OMG!!!!! What a great idea!
Glad you like it Hermy!
@@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark I love it!😁
Hi Mark! This is way better and I can’t wait to try it.

Wow!!! This is so great! Could you add glitter to the resin?
OMG...You really could! Great idea!
É bem fácil fazer isto! Gostei bastante da idéia! Boa semana Mark!😘😘
Eu me queimei algumas vezes, mas foi um processo divertido. Acho que estava muito impaciente. Boa semana!
Cool!

Constructive comments are always welcome Stephen! Thanks for your generous suggestions. Truly appreciate them.
You rock!!!
Glad you like this one! So much fun to figure out!
U R the best!
Very kind of you to say! Thank you!
I wonder if you spray the mold again with non-stick would you be able to refill it with hot glue instead of resin?
I think the hot glue would remelt the hot glue but worth a try!
@@MarkMontanoMakeYourMark yeah I wondered 😊
