    Temporary tattoos are also good for resin and eco pours. Resin you can put them onto the mold and the resin picks them up fine. But then you need a top coat to protect it. Ecos you need to put them on after demolding 😊
    With the sticker just a top coat like the temporary tattoos would help with that

  • @WendigovanStudio
    @WendigovanStudio Місяць тому +2

    Yes they will deffo work as the resin has a stronger adhesion than the sticky back of the sticker or water slide. You will probably have a sticky surface on the sticker, unless some resin manages to seep underneath it. If it doesn't then all you would need to do is add a thin topcoat. x

    I do this with stickers and tattoos all the time. I find although both processes work a thin coat first is best. I've even used uv to coat it so it didn't trap air. When i have residue i dont use alcohol. Idk i just ruin it trying. I just coat it with low viscosity uv. Or spray the topcoat on it. Havent had a really bad experience so far. Just all thumbs sometimes.

    Oooo this was a good one to try! I've seen loads of (and bought) stickers for resin, holographic ones in particular (I LOVE anything holographic!!) and when you put the stickers in I was a bit dubious about it working, especially the dragon one, with the sticky side up (on the finished product), but the water slide stuff was a new one to me! I LOVE that!! I definitely want to give it a go, do you think it would work with UV resin??
    I guess you could do a top coat over the sticky-sticker as well, maybe? Like you said though, more faff when the water slide ones came out so nicely, especially where they didn't have trapped air under them! Got my brain buzzing with ideas now! :D Great video, absolutely loved it, that mould you used for the water slide dragon was exceptionally pretty with the white mica powder, looked like it was edged with pearls

    I've done both of these before myself and prefer the water slide paper although I used it a bit differently than you. I put the water slide paper against the mold then wet it with a sponge and slid it off then poured my resin on. As for the stickers I had never stuck it to the mold before so that was neat to see it still attached to the resin but if you look at the stickers in resin you can see an outline around the stickers and sometimes get a fish scale look behind the sticker because of the sticky backing. I've tried removing the sticky backing with alcohol and it helps with that issue and I tried sanding the edges but you could still see the outline (I also tried sanding the top, big mistake it will remove the print) but I haven't tried sanding the backs after removing the sticky backing. But I am trying to find a way to make that outline around the sticker disappear so if you can figure out how we can make it invisible that would be amazing!! Much love my friend ❤❤❤❤🤗

I’m away at the moment but as soon as I fret back I’m getting stuck into my resin and I cant wait. I also want to make some stained glass with the resin, that looks very beautiful too. Have to purchase the acetate first though. Mmmm! So many ideas I’m getting from all their videos I’m watching. I need to buy some more resin so I don’t run out, I think.
