Oh, yay! You're very welcome, I'm soooo happy it was helpful to you! ☺💕
Extremelyyy helpful and educational video. Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you so much and you’re welcome! I’m so happy you found it helpful and educational! ☺️💕
Great tutorial, lots of helpful tips! Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful to you! 💕💕💕
Omg I love this tutorial. Thank you so so much❤
You're welcome and thank you sooo much! I'm so happy you like it! 💕🎨 (Also, I just had to post another community post thing, I uploaded the wrong photo of the close up cat charm and it wouldn't let me edit it 😂 so if you were looking for your comment, and it's gone, that's why! 💕)
@@Cloudfetti 😑 ok then, the first 'like' and 'comment' is going to be me 🤣
I also have the flowery pot and its suuuper yellow, takes ages to cure...i found SAANNAA much much better, super clear and cures in the 120watt UV/LED lamp
Tempered Top Coat or a Rubber Top Coat without the sticky layer is better and a cheap option.
I got recentley UR Sugar Reinforcement gel and once you removed the sticky layer leaves a suuuper lovely shine.
Oooh! Yeah, not the biggest fan of the Qiao Qiao brand, but I’ve heard great things about the SAANNAA one. Thanks for the info about the top coats! ☺️💕
Thank you so much for this video! It resolved all of my questions. I have a question tho. I have the same Suny mini UV lamp and I used it repeatedly on a small piece of airdry clay, but it doesn't cure. It cures like 90% but it still has that 10% of tackiness. It's actually very frustrating, do you have any idea of what I'm doing wrong? I also used a very thin layer. The piece is also vey small so I expected it to cure quickly. Maybe it doesn't work on air dry clay?
You’re very welcome! I’m so glad it answered your questions!
I personally haven’t tried it on air dry clay but I think it would be fine to use on it. The only thing I can think of, if it’s not working on air dry clay, is if the clay hasn’t fully dried yet? It could look dry from the outside but still have a bit of moisture inside it. I’m not really sure, as I don’t use it that often, but you could try it again on a test piece that’s dried for a few days, then glaze it and cure it with the light to see if that works. If it doesn’t, I would place the piece outside in the sun for a few hours on a hot day so that the tacky parts of the UV resin can cure all the way through.
I find that the lamps are great, but it still doesn’t beat natural sunlight, imo. I hope that helps! 💕☺️
@@Cloudfetti Thank you so much for the thorough explanation. You're really sweet💕
@@sheidatt9390 Aw, thank you and you're welcome, I hope it all works out! 💕
Hi, thanks for this tutorial! I'm just wondering why my polymer clay keeps darkening a bit in the oven, is that just a thing? I use Fimo clay, by the way.
Hi, you’re welcome! I hope this video is helpful to you!
Polymer clay does tend to darken in the oven if it’s not covered with something to protect it from the top heating elements of the oven. I found it’s usually caused by the heat and longer baking times. You can prevent it by using a foil ‘tent’ over the top, or even better, a foil bbq tray, which is more sturdy. I have a video on my channel called “how to bake polymer clay for beginners”, and at the 20:02 mark, it has a chapter called ‘browning/darkening of polymer clay’, which has a visual of the bbq tray if you need it!
Make sure you’re also using a separate oven thermometer to check the proper internal temperature of your oven, because oven dials are often incorrect and can heat hotter than what you actually set it to. I hope it helps! 💕☺️
Thank you so much for getting back!! It was very helpful, thanks! 😊
You’re welcome! 💕☺️
Can you please tell me why my uv resin is uneven on my charms having trouble with evening them on my charms that are not flat 😭😭
It could be that you are putting too much on one side, and not enough on the other, or, that if it's not a flat charm, it could be the resin dropping/flowing to the lower side with gravity. You could try to brush on a thin layer all over the charm, cure it and then continue to build the layers, which is the method I like to use. I hope that helps! ☺️💕
