I know this is an older video, but I was wondering It looked like your cover was very flexible, I am having trouble with phone stands using Alumilite even after 3 or more days they are not very sturdy bend to easy did you have that issue?
Once the epoxy cures completely it will not break or bend. But just like anything else with the right amount of force anything is possible. I gave mine to my 4 year old and it’s still alive and kicking. Hope this helps
Iris Monae I have not tried using acrylic paints but I’m sure it’s possible because it’s done in resin art. - I buy my inks on amazon. However in the next week or so we will be carrying the entire selection on alcohol inks on our website.
Peter Brown has some GREAT videos on alternative dyes. Sadly, there isn't a substitute for Alcohol dyes and the effect they create. However, you're just looking for a cheap variety of colors the following work great!: Sidewalk Chalk Glowsticks Turmeric powder Highlighters Acrylic Paint (in moderation) Charcoal powder
Nikki Burr Honestly I don’t have the technical answer. What I do is wait a little to apply the epoxy so it’s thicker and less runny. Since it’s less mobile the pooling doesn’t happen as much. Hope this helps. ❤️❤️
I am pretty new to resin, but I would check your work surface. If you work surface isn't level your resin won't be either. I would check you mold too. If your mold is inconsistent when on a level surface it will effect how consistent the thickness of your finished project is.
+Janscreatons This project is so much fun. I would try this or a smaller resin craft would be earring molds so you can play with ink and glitter. Both crafts are great for starting.
Definitely start with something smaller. Lots of people start big and mess up big. By starting with a few small projects and building up to a notebook, you'll save time, money and resin! Also, definitely watch videos by people like Peter Brown and Evan and Katelyn. I believe they both have "Resin tips and tricks" or "Things to avoid for beginners" type videos. Would recommend.
👋 Hi. You can choose whatever side you want to be your front or back. You’ll see both sides are smooth. Nothing actually sinks into the mold, unless you push it down with the popsicle stick like I did when I was swirling around the design
Torch = Less resin movement, more concentrated heat Heat gun = Moves resin around, wider area heated up. Depends on what you want in your final project
If you do it, make sure to let it sit for awhile though! People often think k a project failed due it's bendiness, but that's usually a sign it just hasn't fully cured yet. Depending on the resin used, 24-48 is usually what I wait to ensure a full cure.
You should be able to, but you wolf need to do two resin poors. I'd do a clear poor that you embed the stickers face down in, let that one set for 3 to 5 hours (depending on you resin instructions and cure time),and do a second poor with your colors to seal the stickers in. You may also want/need to seal your stickers with mod podge before putting g them in resin.
Girl u talk way too much. U can be talking and making the book at the same time. U spent 5 min talking. Whew. But the book is very pretty just try not to talk so much.
Notebook mold looks like good quality. Great work.
This is a beautiful piece! I will give this technique a try.
Thank you!! Awesome! I can’t wait to see what you create!
Where do you get the myrstique

im wondering about its durability. how would you rate it?

@@GLITTAFULLLC Thank you! Your comment helps a lot. I’ve never seen or hold an epoxy in this form so I was just curious.
you didnt add a second layer of clear resin to the top when it dried?
Do you have to use alcohol links? Or can use acrylic paint or something else? Where do yo get the alcohol links?

You can find alcohol inks on Amazon, or at most craft stores. I got mine at Hobby Lobby, and they were on sale for $0.99.
Thanks for the video! Every time I make a notebook I get pooling in the middle. Do you have any idea why that would happen?

Check the level of your table. It could be have a dip in the middle of it or be otherwise unlevel.
I am pretty new to resin, but I would check your work surface. If you work surface isn't level your resin won't be either. I would check you mold too. If your mold is inconsistent when on a level surface it will effect how consistent the thickness of your finished project is.
Super cute!!!!
+Char’s Crafts thank you!!
Great tutorial. You didn’t leave the link for the rings or the mold in the description box.
Shelly Fitts-Oliver Check Amazon. They have a full kit that’s not very expensive.
Ok thank you @laurapankey
+Shelly Fitts-Oliver Hey Shelly I’ve updated the description and it now has the two links. Sorry about that!
Are there molds with standard size bindings? I just think of like people on the move the rings might be too bulky
I have not found any! I wish I could find them because that would be really cool!
New here and this is a craft I want to try! Would you suggest starting with the notebook project? Love how these look!!

You said it was 60ml resin. Is that for each side or 30ml/30ml for each side?
Rachael Cox no. For just one mold.
Which side do you use as the front? The top or the bottom? Or is it different with each one you make? Does the gutter sink in a mold?
👋 Hi. You can choose whatever side you want to be your front or back. You’ll see both sides are smooth. Nothing actually sinks into the mold, unless you push it down with the popsicle stick like I did when I was swirling around the design
Does torch and heat gun was used? And which one should I get plzz
Mona Azzam hey Mona! I used the torch. I would buy the torch it saves you time and it’s a great space saver!
Torch = Less resin movement, more concentrated heat
Heat gun = Moves resin around, wider area heated up.
Depends on what you want in your final project
I gotta give this one a try. TU for the tutorial. And especially for the Mystique.
+Rosetta Jenkins Yes!! Absolutely!! I can’t wait to see yours!!!
Was one side more rough than the other? I find when using my leftover epoxy for my smaller molds that one side is rough.
+LATOYA FULLENWILEY No both sides were smooth.
Check your mold. Mold CAN be overused/reach peak use. Which side is ending up rough?
How much epoxy do you mix up I usually either end up with too much or not enough.

@@GLITTAFULLLC so would that mean 30ml of both A &B to make a total of 60?
Is the cover hard or flexible?
rochesterd1201 hard.

Can you make one with paper stickers🤔🤔
You should be able to, but you wolf need to do two resin poors.
