      To make it a bit more simple you could simply paint it with acrylic paint and then once dried just paint it with some resin to seal it.

      Hi Daniel! I always 👍 and watch to the end! I watch on tv so don't usually come online to comment, BUT today I did. 😁
      Wanted to suggest that on the large Seahorse, you talked about the sharp spine points. I would say attach small tapering sizes of pearl or "seed beads" to accentuate those spines (and solve the sharp points). Make a beautiful brooch with the large one!
      Keep up the great work, I enjoy your channel!

    Hi Daniel, love your vids, to get multi layering with the technique your using try using Speedball metal foil adhesive with a brush it is extra sticky,dried clear, it layers mica powder beautifully with out the fear of muddying your colours, you can control where it goes and a lil bit goes a long ways.. I use it all the time to coat my wood shapes with mica powder and coat with resin and it stops my wooden shapes from absorbing too much of the resin, it also gives resin a surface to bond with if you want to dome. Word of warning, be sure to clean your brush immediately after or you will ruin your brush, I just use disposable eyelash adhesive brushes.

    So um, with those fondant molds, I mean there's no set rules per say, but they have doubles for a reason, so you can put the two halves together to make a whole sea horse if you want. Or leave it flat to put it more flat on a cake. But yeah personally I use the Falken to paint the actual mold before I epoxy and the textures and different colors are just phenomenal doing it like that bc the epoxy picks up the flakes leaving less to pick up. But love your vids. I always learn something new. Thanks for posting!

    I have also had this problem of adhesion of chameleon flakes & I found hair lacquer worked fine !

    I absolutely love that mold! Thanks for sharing these tips and tricks as well as the original creators.
    Do you have a video on how to make your own white pigment paste?
    Love your channel 🥰

    The way the chameleon flakes flew everywhere reminded me of magnets repelling each other.
    I wondered if you put the kettle on, would the humidity help keep the flakes under control?

    Wonderful work as always. As for backing things another thing I’ve seen in the past is someone mixed some mica powders in to a few drops of alcohol and just used that as a paint. I’ve tried it and it did work with epoxy resin as well as helps when painting a mold when the powder doesn’t want to stick or just not building up enough on the surface.

    I’ve seen people use alcohol with mica to help paint it on- I never considered trying it with the chameleon flakes! Nice!!

    Just use black, white, purple or whatever color gel polish on the backs and a no wipe gel coat. Nail tech trick. You can also give it a wipe with acetone that will make it sticky, just a gentle wipe. Also probably depends on what UV you use.

    I have this mold and you can glue them together to make a complete seahorse. I might have to try it with the chameleon flakes sandwiched between the two halves.

      Definitely, I had plans to do this after I accidentally deleted the first video but I was in such a rush to get it filmed, I forgot 🙈😂

    Hi Daniel 🤗 try using Elmer's tac'n stik ( or something similar) to hold your piece in place and leveled while backing them, works for me 🙌

    I recommend getting a fine mist spray bottle for your 99.9% isopropyl alcohol. The reason the alcohol doesn’t work for epoxy is that it breaks down epoxy. Instead of making it tacky, it slowly dissolves it.

    Great Video Daniel 👍 I have this mold and have used it a number of times but not this way so i will try it.
    Those little ones you made could be put in another jewellery mold with a nice background so that they don't catch on things.
    Love this technique 🤩
