Excellent tutorial, thank you so much. I’ve literally just taken my new heat gun out of its box . I bought it because I wanted the small nozzle for making waves on coasters. Thank goodness I found your video as it’s been soooooooo informative and helpful . Best wishes from the UK 🙏
Hi I am in the UK and found this video so helpful it takes all of the guess and trial and error away and allows me to practice with a better understanding of what I am trying to achieve. 🙏🏻 thank you. 😃
I miss seeing new videos! This one was so informative. I love that you included the diy white pigment paste. You voice and the way you explain things is very soothing. And your creations are so beautiful and original! ❤
I thought the same, especially as your videos are quite long, it’d be nice to hear more of your voice. I’m by no means complaining that they are too long, they are very informative and your work is amazing 🤩
I really needed this video! I'm just started to get more into resin and this is such a great in depth tutorial on the heat gun. Answered all my questions. TFS!!!
Christy... heard cheddar made his cameo spot at the beginning always nice to hear him 😂 my heat gun came with NO accessories and it’s the Wagner furno 300 I feel ripped off but I really like it but now on Amazon finding accessories my husband thanks you I’m almost certain of that🤣 my first resin pigments I bought was Just Resin titanium white Just Resin bright Gold JR turquoise luster JR fuchsia and they have always produced awesome cells and lacing (who knew at to what extent if only had right heat gun accessories )but the jars they come in for some reason get really messy! If they ever get hard you can reactivate them by putting in a heat bath or running a torch over them quickly but yeah they are great my husband will be happy I already own something that you showed so don’t have to buy it I will let him know you said you’re welcome haha looking forward to your videos “in the makings” always a HUGE fan thanks for the tips
Hi Christy, thanks so much for this tutorial (and all the others!) I recently ordered both of these nozzles, very grateful for learning from you. I really find your art magical, so beautiful, thank you 💙 how amazing that you live in Alaska!
Would love to see how you finish your coasters after they come out of the mold. Do you have to sand underneath after you put the final coat on resin? Thank you again for your wonderful video tutorials.
Thanks so much for this, just got a heat gun in with attachments and was wondering what they all were for... Also, let`s talk the pigments, omgee that blue is gorgeous, I just got some from the same seller, was on the hunt for a plum color.. they are gorgeous.. I am in Northern Ontario, so know all to well waiting on shipments to come in lol... Now I might have to go back and get that blue haha.. thanks again.. great info..
thanks nice tips I made my own nozzles one is like a 3cm. flat and the other one is like 8 cm. flat and close the opening on the top sides with the epoxy plaster to direct a better air flow and less air leak´good luck
The only flat tip mine came with was the one that you call the puller. I just got my hc on last week and it's no wonder now that I couldn't get my waves to do like everyone else did when they tried to push them. I think I might try using one of the round tip since my projects are a little bit bigger.
LOL! there are about two videos on my channel where the darn attachment falls off, that's why it looks so bad - I just squeeze the metal tip of the attachment until it fits a little tighter - there are probably solutions, I haven't looked into it, like maybe searching for just the ends pieces to see if there is a lot you can buy or something
Can you do a tutorial on the final step of sanding am such please? How do you get it all ready in the end? Also, how do you keep your inks/colors from pulling away from the edges?
Hi, here is my video on sand and prep: ua-cam.com/video/uu7-6snHEZk/v-deo.html As for colors pulling away from the edges, I havent noticed a problem with it, something you should check is how thick the resin is poured, resin will often try and snap back to where it started if the resin is too deep
I have tried my hands on the ocean waves but failed every time. How thick does the white pigment hAve to be to form lacings? I wait till it becomes like sugar syrup consistency, but the rest of the poured resin on the board thickens too and it becomes very hard to move the resin. It would simply spread on the entire board like clouds (no lacing or cells). I have also tried keeping the white less thicker than sugar syrup, that didn't work too. What am I missing here please?
Thank you for this tutorial, I have a problem where i do the small surfboards and getting cells I’m finding very hard as my heat gun on has one temp and it’s either on/off .... I’ve always used the (duck bill) one that you said about and don’t get cells - thinking I should try the smaller circles and let the resin sit for a while and hold it further back?? - I just NEED to be more patient as I seem to just blow the white right off with no cells and looks messy!! I’ve also burned my resin with both torch and gun trying desperately to get cells. It’s a shame I can’t show you?! Now I’ve got better pigment and resin, I’m gonna give this a go tomorrow. Any tips for me? Prayers? Oh, by the way! I love it that your subtitles come up as (applause) when the heat gun is on 😂 Thanks again!! New subscriber right here from 🇬🇧
I did a lot of trial and error working on cells and waves, two things were big lessons for me 1. If the resin is high quality and is thicker than syrup, it is next to impossible to get cells. It’s like the white gets in there and the clear is like “you are mine and I’ll protect you from the mean lady” always heat the clear, to thin it out before you try blowing out a laced wave. And 2. When you put color in the resin and you see it sink, then your layer may be too thick - check out my cells and lacing video- I show you what I mean there. ua-cam.com/video/K4VrQLZQLYY/v-deo.html
I’ve actually blown up two heating guns since I’ve started using resin more. I don’t know if maybe I’m getting too close to the canvas? In both cases the heating gun popped and sparked and smoked and then completely stopped working. Have you had that happen to you ever heard of that happening? I’d love to know if it’s some thing I’m doing before I wrecked the third one :-) one :-)
Lol! Wow! I’m on my second gun the first one finally went down to the buttons getting resined shut so I couldn’t get it on anymore. Since i don’t know much about them, Check this out: www.labmanager.com/lab-health-and-safety/don-t-get-caught-with-a-smoking-heat-gun-19746
I use about 4 different brands of resin and they are all similar. I have not done any research or attempts on a deep pour, but do have plans to do it in future. My resin would overheat and bend the cup if left at about 4oz deep.
love this video and is very resourceful...I'm researching to get a heat gun. I noticed your guns brand seems to begin with an 'A' but the link referenced shows Fujiwaaa by Xpeoo. May I ask of the brand you use instead?
hi, i had to change the link when Amazon ran out of stock - in this case it is the Amtake 1800W heat gun. I do actually have the fujiwa and I find it to be identical. what you are looking for in a heat gun is the ability to turn up the heat low to high 102 - 1000 degrees range, and the ability to have a low/high fan speed. additionally these heat guns I choose have the tips that come with them - but you can buy them separate if you find a heat gun you really like that has no tips.
I noticed you always use the torch between the heat gun passes, is there a reason you do that. Does it help resin or prep it for the gun. New to this, sort of this a stupid question. Thanks for instruction.
The heat thins the resin, and pops bubbles. It’s easier to move it when thinner. If too much heat is applied you can scorch the resin, but in this video, no resin was scorched. Heated resin is not safe to breathe - so it’s all up to you for your comfort level
Thank you for this tutorial. I have questions regarding what pigments to use for the white waves and lacing. I've been mixing resin with the white alcohol ink by Pinata combined with the white tint by Art Resin, but it just sort of sinks and diffuses into the other colors. I've had more success with just white alcohol ink droplets directly onto the surface, and that seems to work a bit better. I've never been able to get cells but then I just have been using a standard heat gun with no special attachments. Looks as if you are just using white acrylic paint. Is that correct?
I’m using ‘just resin titanium white’ pigment paste mixed with resin -there is a link in the video description. Castin craft and alcohol inks works really well for me too , I suggest you watch my other video about cells and waves - that may help too

That was a great tutorial! I receive my new heat gun tomorrow and now I have at least an idea on how the different tips work. Thanks!
I'm very appreciative to you for doing this. I learned alot. Bonus for you in that you got two beautiful resin paintings.

excellent, and just what I needed! I have a new heat gun, but have been too chicken to play much with it. This helps a great deal. Thank you!
Brilliant again, thank you for taking the time to teach.
Sooooooo informative! I'm really new with resin, your explanations are through and easy to understand, many many thanks! New subscriber❤️👍
This is incredible! I gotta do this for myself for reference! Thanks.
This was Great info!!! Thank you so much!!!💕💕🧜♀️

Great demonstration! Thank you!
Beautifully explained ❤ can you please share the white pigment you are using plz 😊
l use clear resin in
inbetween the white and the colors.. so that l get a clear frothy wave.
Thank you so much. Very helpful. ❤️
Thank you, I look forward to having a go,
Love your work and teachings. May I ask if you have the flame on when using the torch TIA 💞

Very informative but wonder why you use the torch in between each thing
The torch encourages lacing and pops micro bubbles - completely optional
What’s the best way to get the cells when doing a beach effect tumbler?
Mam is this heat gun used for bubble free resin or not? Or heat gun used for only heat wave to move resin.
Thanks again for the tips! My biggest problem with the attachments is that they fall off. How do you get them to stay on?
LOL! there are about two videos on my channel where the darn attachment falls off, that's why it looks so bad - I just squeeze the metal tip of the attachment until it fits a little tighter - there are probably solutions, I haven't looked into it, like maybe searching for just the ends pieces to see if there is a lot you can buy or something
I'm wondering if attaching with aluminum tape would work. And, resin won't stick to aluminum, fyi. A high heat- heat tape if there is such a thing.
@@glutenfreeappletree yes, I use that tape when I did the ocean countertop video, it works well
Thank you!! 🔥👍😍
What temperature do you set your heat gun too? Mine goes up to 650

@@ResinAsYouWish it was my white ink pulling away from the edge in the first step of the angel wing coasters so the clear is thin...

Hello how do you prevent burning. My heat gun has 2 setting low and really high
It may be your heat gun. I do not hold the heat gun up close to the resin - I use a high blow setting but a medium heat setting
Thank you for this tutorial, I have a problem where i do the small surfboards and getting cells I’m finding very hard as my heat gun on has one temp and it’s either on/off ....
I’ve always used the (duck bill) one that you said about and don’t get cells - thinking I should try the smaller circles and let the resin sit for a while and hold it further back?? - I just NEED to be more patient as I seem to just blow the white right off with no cells and looks messy!!

Can I buy the attachments separate as I have a heat gun already
Hi, I'm glad you asked - I did a little looking around, start here: amzn.to/2GPn3wC (also I added this link to the comments)
Is this the only resin you use? I'm looking for a deep pour also. Thanks, just found your channel.
I use about 4 different brands of resin and they are all similar. I have not done any research or attempts on a deep pour, but do have plans to do it in future. My resin would overheat and bend the cup if left at about 4oz deep.

Where do you buy all of the tools you use in your vidoes?
Hi, I put links to everything in the video descriptions- the design tutorials have links to the picks and dotting tools
I noticed you always use the torch between the heat gun passes, is there a reason you do that. Does it help resin or prep it for the gun. New to this, sort of this a stupid question. Thanks for instruction.
from what ive read, it pops the bubbles the heat gun is unable to pop.
Does heat matter for waves or it's just about attachments? I've been trying with hair dryer, i thought heatgun causes damages on resin
The heat thins the resin, and pops bubbles. It’s easier to move it when thinner. If too much heat is applied you can scorch the resin, but in this video, no resin was scorched. Heated resin is not safe to breathe - so it’s all up to you for your comfort level

This video is the castin craft and alcohol ink
@@ResinAsYouWish Thank you just found your other videos using castin craft!
What is the output wattage of the heat gun you use ie; 1500 or 1600 ?
Hi, I have the links in the video description that will take you right to the product info 👍
My resin started smoking when I used my heat gun on it 😢
Try medium heat, and back the gun off to 6 inches or more from the resin, it always looks like I’m closer than I am
Gotcha, I’ll give that a shot next time. Thanks!
