- Next on the list of RESIN ALTERNATIVES is AQUA RESIN! This is a whole new realm for me because we AQUA RESIN has FIBERGLASS PRODUCTS?! I've never worked with fiberglass before, especially in art! But OMGGGG it was super interesting....😳 It's supposed to make whatever you make with AQUA RESIN STRONGER but you'll just have to see what happens... WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?!

About my channel: Hey guys! I'm Heather, the crazy lady behind ArtsyMadwoman! I'm a resin artist & I preserve flowers in resin along with creating & testing out all kinds of fun crafty thangs! I hope you subscribe & stick around for the mad things we're going to do ;D - Навчання та стиль
I like that you’re trying new things! Can you please talk about cost comparisons when trying out new things as resin alternatives.
So it looks like Jesmonite and Aqua Resin are pretty much the same thing. Both are acrylic reinforced gypsum products, with a water based acrylic resin and a gypsum based binding agent, but Aqua Resin adds in the fiberglass element for structure and stability, which makes it better for sculpting. Either way, both still contain a resin element. I would suggest checking out Ecopoxy. They make regular epoxy resin products, but are non toxic and water based like Jesmonite and Aqua Resin. I love Ecopoxy resin cuz it works just like regular resin but doesn't give off any fumes and has *no* smell!
Just visited EcoPoxy's website and it sounds pretty fantastic! Definitely going to have to try it when I have more money again.
Wow thank you for this!! Been wanting to find a non-toxic CLEAR resin!!
@@victoriawhite5123 I've used the FlowCast, which is a slow cure, deep pour resin, and the UVPoxy, their coating resin (though I use it in jewelry & other shallow molds) and it's worked really well! It's epoxy resin, so still plastic and not biodegradable, but it's at least made from bio based ingredients and is non toxic, so I count that as a win🤷♀️
@@shaunacorrigan9372 I'm interested in doing things with molds. Some smaller molds like coasters but I also have a large, roughly 10" for each side and about 2" deep that I wanted to place some pressed flowers and such in. Do you know if I'd be able to use any of their products for that? Is obviously have to be very patient and do many layers, but that's true with just about anything unless I use the stuff people use for river tables 😅
I should specific I was really wanting to try using the UVPoxy for the larger mold, because it is going to be placed outside
Thank you for going on the journey to find a friendly resin alternative! I've had a lot of the same health concerns with it recently, so it's immensely helpful seeing these in use!
"Looks likes a kids art project but whatever" love the attitude. I need to do that more!! Be ok with how it comes out even if it's not what I pictured or wanted. I love watching you.
It's giving me 80's vibes, I had a hold all bag with a splash pattern similar on both ends 😅
The real question is, Heather, is there a product that is as crystal clear as Polyester Resin that is non toxic? If I were working with children, getting them to set something like dried flowers, could I do it? That is the ultimate goal, right?
Mod Podge® Dimensional Magic is non toxic and I’ve seen lots of artists use it for the tops of clay pins. You could definitely see if it works with flowers !! Bottle cap charms.
Another beautiful piece of art. Beautiful tray. You are so talented and creative. I love watching you create beautiful works of art. Thank you for sharing your this.
80’s!!! Yay 😁
Looks like a fun product to work with. I have looked this up when researching jesmonite. Thank you for trying it out for us
Beautiful as always!!!!❤
So early! I love your vids especially when you do new stuff like this!
That is actually really rad!!! I love that it looks shiny and smooth. I'm weird and the feeling of cement or even like freshly fired clay pieces is like a "nails on a chalkboard" kind of feeling... But this doesn't look like it would be weird textured like that! Freakin' CUTE!
This is a very cool idea!! Thank you!! I really like your tray!! It’s funny though because I keep trying to read it!!!
WHAT?! That is so cool! The possibilities!
Im so glad your doing resin alternatives because I am highly allergic to resin and was so sad that I couldnt work much with it. Lets face it I still do small projects but I cant get it on my skin or I blister. I cant even get my nails done. I have been using liquid clay its sorta new. I wanted to be able too uave clear bases and that was the only thing I could find. Thank u for all your videos they are great!!
YOU DID A AWESOME JOB ON THE PIECE.I LOVE THE BRIGHT COLORS.
Wow it looks super cool!!! 😍
HI Heather, WOW I thought your tray turned out so pretty & super cool looking 🌈✨👍 Lin
Looks very pretty and colorful..love it
Thanks for testing it out; curious to see what else you can create with this medium. I have to say I'm not as tempted with this, it just feels more limited than working with resin.
Love the colors!
Can you try LUXE WATER FX It’s clear… I want to try but postage is costly for me, would be grateful if you gave it a go….. 🙏♥️
This is so trippy looking 🤩
I am SO glad you tried the Aqua Resin because I have seen people in the UK using Jesmonite. I wanted to give it a try, but it's not yet available in the USA. The colors you chose were very vibrant which is something that I just didn't want to lose. I developed an allergy to resin, so this might be an excellent alternative. Thank you for all your wonderful videos!!! Love it!💗
This is WILD!! I need to know alllllll lol I have to comment as I'm watching because that's how excited.. I have been planning to buy aquaresin cause I am tired of paying so much for jesmonite / hydroflow so if this works woohooo!!
I love it! I know what you're saying about school project- but it really doesn't. It's fun and stunning!
Jesmonite and Aqua Resin are both Acrylic-reinforced gypsum products, which means they are similar to plaster with their own liquid that acts as a binder. So it's basically Jesmonite from what I am finding out and there isn't much out there either. Am always looking for new resin types, but am also looking for those which are crystal clear, as most of my work features looking into the piece. Outside of that, this is something worth exploring at a later date.
Glad to hear that you had a pretty good experience with aqua resin. It is something that I've been looking at as an alternative to jesmonite as you can actually get it in the US. And there might be some differences in how the gypsum(plaster of paris) is modified and the exact aqueous polymer/resin blend, but I'd say that the two are pretty much the same. Elichem also makes a similar product called Hydroflow Eco Resin. Again, it is a gypsum/resin composite so it will have that same sorta-white color, but it is much like jesmonite for me, next to impossible to source in the US.
But what I'd love to know if how each one compares, weight-wise. Are they more or less dense than plain gypsum. I believe you commented on gypsum vs jesmonite vs concrete and if I remember correctly, jesmonite was heavier/denser than gypsum. Did it feel as if the same might hold true for aqua resin?
And good luck with the search. I'm not sure if you'll find a clear alternative, but maybe some mixed products with reduced amounts of epoxy resin can lead to some new cool ideas/projects.
It turned out so good!!! I love seeing you try all the different things (even if this is resin adjacent lol). We need some more tufting too 😉
thank you soo much!! YES TUFTING ALWAYS HAHA
The colors make me think of 1990s Nickelodeon!
This piece is giving me silly string vibes. I really like the beautiful colors that you used. The black background makes the colors pop. Good job!
When you had it on your shoulder (14:45), I got 1980s boombox vibes. LOL 😁
To make multimedia bling art instead of using epoxy, I like to use TriArt liquid glass. I have used this to cover prices of art in a top coat like fashion like you would use resin as well it’s a great product.
It's super difficult to find info or resources for it! I did recently contact support, the ceo responded to the best of his ability. I am hoping more people pick it up so a bigger troubleshooting community picks up! Would love to see you experiment more in the future.
He did suggest the aqua glass to strengthen my jewelry casts but seeing how lumpy it is, is... helpful. 😅
It looks like a rainbow threw up and I love it❤
Thanks for sharing 😎👍
Question from an old video: the Winchester mica powder color…is that like a Supernatural fan thing and if so, yes please and where in hecking heck do I find it?! 🥰 And I totally love your videos so much 🥰🥰
Thank u for doing this video.. glad to kno u can mix pigments into the Aquaresin..question tho.. what do u seal it w? Do u have to use the fiberglass? The black tho do u need a specific colorant for it? Some of the stuff u have I o kno is for “molding stuff” and I do kno it’s used in Cosplay outfits .. lemme kno about the black colorant tho. 1 more question the 3D Crete from CCDIY seemed to b lighter than the aquaresin w black when u poured it tho? Mayb different lighting? (Shrugs) .. but again thank u for this video!
Looks awesome! I am sure aqua resin is the same as Jesmonite but different companies have own name for it
This is so cool, I love the colors & think it's kinda ironic that the 1st pink layer looks like it says the word resin in cursive hahahaha!!! I love everything about your channel 💕 especially getting to learn about cool new thing's 😎... can you share where you got that giant mold? It's AMAZING 🤣🤣🤣
Super duper happy for you that there are much safer alternatives than resin. But.......if I'm honest......I miss the clear aspect of resin. Your enthusiasm is contagious!
You need a cricut or any die cut machine! So that you can cut some cool decals for projects like this, like some super cool holographic skulls would look so awesome!
Thank you for this video! Does it seem like the piece would shatter if you dropped it? I would love to be able to use something non-toxic for models and miniatures but am worried Aqua Resin would not hold up.
That's so cool looking
Try fiberglass cloth as reinforcement. It is cheap and you buy it at the hardware store.
I like the tray. It is very cool
How about hydro flow ? I would love to know more about it before purchasing it
It would look good under blacklight you should try it beautiful tray!!!!👍😊🌈💖💜🌈💮🌈
I’m curious if there’s something safer than resin out there that could be used for slush casting. I make dolls that way so they are hollow and the urethane resin I use is kind of toxic but it’s the only thing I know if that is durable enough to be thin and cures fast enough
How long did you have for working with the pours before it started to cure?
Im new to crafting and was curious on to why did you stop working with resin?
Could you try out permastone?
But do you think either the aqua resin or jesmonite would hold a fragrance? I experimented a little with some of my resin products and it technically works but now as well as I would like.
I love your hair.
Btw, how did u get ahold of Jesmonite? If ur in the states?
Unsolicited tip from a fellow mad woman and artist: Whenever one’s art ends up looking like a child’s art project, just say it’s a little Jackson Pollock-ee. 😬😄😄 **❤️ your stuff 🥂🖖🏼**
What kind of powder aqua resin uses, it is gypsum?
What iffff you try like concrete pouring too & compare it to jesmonite& aquaresin 🌝
whats up with all the bubbles, is there a way to get rid of it?
Wonder how the colors would blend if you would have put a blow dryer to that if they would have mixed together just a little bit without having the harsh lines
4 minutes left, paint the edges gold. That would look cute, and it matches the handle a bit. Or is it me. Looks like it has gold on the handle
I wonder what would happen if there was a resin top coat put on it 🤔
I think it came out cool good job lol
I really wish you would of done some small molds with aqua resin,
When you’re using this type of material and a flat project like the one you’re working on pick up your mold and slap it onto the table a few times to let everything settle evenly instead of wasting your time with a spatula. Try it next time it should help
I love your purple hair.
What about Crystalac? I heard it’s water based and it just needs a couple more layers but cures as hard as Epoxy supposedly?
There are a few channels that specialize in Crystalac on here! It's a top coat though, not suitable for molds. Acrylic blanks and other things are great though
How do you NOT have a million subs?
I have found that nothing gives me what I get out of resin sadly cuz it’s not good for us
❤️
Try fiberglass 1oz weave
I don't want to waste resources, but I kind of want to see a stress test and a reusability test. Can you submerge finished pieces in unfinished pieces and have them stick, or will it be weaker because the fibers don't spread through. What happens if you drop it?
Hi there! I sent you an email... it's super time sensitive and I really could use your help!! My best friend passed and I have flowers.. I want to epoxy them so time is critical I know. THANKS!
We gotta see it under a UV light, because those are florescent pigments. 😅
Is it food safe? Would make a great charcuterie tray.(meats and cheeses) I love it!
seems like you have a hard time parting from resin still
Why is this vidéo is saying that is upload 3 min ago but it is from the old living place
I’m not sure honestly! It says March for me. I’m sorry!
