Greetings from Hereford, England. Your tutorial was just what I needed. I've ordered a sort of 'starter kit' resin equipment to try and make a few coasters and some fun keychain items. I've watched a couple of other 'bubble' vids, but their ideas were far more how rather than why. And explaining which resin goes with which activity is a revelation. Unfortunately, I got the wrong type for the coasters, etc, but this is why people like you are so important to beginners. Your how's and why's give people like me the confidence to take that first step. And now that I've found you, I'm gonna check out your vaults for inspiration and guidance. Many thanks 😉😊
I tried resin for the first time with your tips and it turned out excellent. I tried the warming up as I live in Canada and it’s winter right now and let it sit for 7-8 mins then slowly mixing it for 4 mins and again let it sit for 4-5 mins then remove the bubbles that rise to the top. I used plastic spoon and paper cup from the dollar store, gently poured it and let it dry. I Made sure water is not very hot Else the resin will harden while It’s still in the cup. Thank you once again and you’re very beautiful. Take care.
Excellent tutorial, Sherry! Thank you! I have been learning and watching everything for over a year. I even have a pressure pot and vacuum chamber, both unused as yet. I still was confused about the differences in the resin types, so kudos! I even bought a magnetic mixer to try to minimize bubbles, but haven't tried. Don't know why I haven't jumped in, but feel like I need to learn more first.❤️
Hi, Pam. I see you everywhere in the resin community. The main thing is to BE SAFE. Nitrile gloves and respirator with organic vapor filters are a MUST. Good luck. Can't wait to see your UA-cam channel full of great stuff.
I use a vacuum chamber. Like a pressure pot it’s cost prohibitive but I warm the resin then put in in a vacuum chamber for 20 minutes to help suck the air bubbles out before pouring.
You've reached 100K subscribers! That is phenomenal! Sorry if it was in a previous video and I missed it. If your 100K GIVEAWAY winner is in the United States, you'll need to order the prize from the US. I think the steering wheels in Australian cars on on the opposite side. hehe. Great job! Excellent point about art resin/casting resin. I was lucky enough to get a pressure pot, but I already owned a compressor (which most people don't mention, so thanks for that). When I don't use it, I almost always have bubbles. I have the most trouble with Art & Glow and Total Boat. They're both coating resins - not casting, so that would be the problem. My favorite resin is the General Purpose resin, from The Epoxy Resin Store. And it's about the cheapest. I have no affiliation, just like the product. I have a vacuum chamber, too, but I just use that for making silicone molds.
Hi. I'm a beginner in resin. Is the 1-1 ratio resin okay for coasters and bookmarks? Also, any ideas on how to get rid of bubbles you've missed, and are set into the resin once cured? Especially on the corners. Thankyou
What resin do you recommend when making dog tags to go on dog collars. It sounds like the casting resin would be good since air bubbles are as bad? Are there any non toxic
This was really informative 🙂 i have a question about letting it sit before working - do the bubbles still rise to the surface or is there something about pouring or being in a mould that doesnt let that happen? I want to try make something for the first time with resin and it seems there's a lot to learn first!
Letting it sit helps with all the bubbles coming to the surface then you can use a heat gun to pop them before you pour. if you just pour straight into a mould the bubbles can get trapped into the grooves of the mould and not come to the surface.
@@monalikadoda2232 You're welcome. I just started messing around with epoxy and have watched so many videos about it. I hope your creations are awesome and you have fun
Brilliant video, have you ever tried putting the mixed resin into a vacuume chamber ? ive heard that this is good for getting rid of bubbles as well as using it for the silicone mould mix ! Also for deeper pours ive heard that pouring in stages and using the blow torch in between helps too ? This is the first video of yours ive seen, You are a beautiful instructor and i hope your channel dose well ;)
Hi what's the best thinner risin could you leave the name aslo a link sometimes the link isn't available thanks also can I spray my mold with something shiny because it's coming out dual thanks
For casting easy but for table top epoxy or quick set epoxy these wont work if you keep that 20 minute in cup you will see smoking and after that burn because heat is growing a lot..
"Let it sit for 30 minutes~" ... it will have set by then. It doesn't pour anymore by then. You have cup-shaped resin after 30 minutes. The bubbles will not be at the top - they will still be in the middle. Because the resin has set, they will be in the middle forever.
@@bobboote3921 I don't think they had said if it was C or F, I don't remember what this video said but I believe i had been asking more so what type it was on if it was C or F-
Very Informative. Thank You So Much. That Answers All The Questions I Had! And Why My Resin Does What It Does. 😊

Thank you Sherrie, its much appreciated hope you are doing well
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This has helped tremendously!
Fantastic tips! Thank you so much ❤

You can do it! Practice makes perfect

Check out this video, it will teach you how to remove bubbles~~~~~ua-cam.com/video/zxG-ntrdoJo/v-deo.html
Tysm for making this video
You're so welcome!
3:53 You just gave me an idea: create a lid/stirrer combination that eliminates the surface -to-air interface.
I use a vacuum chamber. Like a pressure pot it’s cost prohibitive but I warm the resin then put in in a vacuum chamber for 20 minutes to help suck the air bubbles out before pouring.
Wish i had watched this before dropping $130 on the wrong resin. Thank you for the information
What kind of alcohol spray do you recommend?
I need this! I live in Melbourne so I've been practising in the cold! My resins been thick & full of bubbles lol
Awesome information!! Thank you!!❤

These tips are incredible. Thank you @sherivegas!

@3:50 What is your opinion on a silicone mixing stick/rod? Does it make or prevent bubbles?
What kind of casting resin do you use for molds? And for table tops. Thx
do you use a pressure pot?

Ohh thank you so much! I'm very excited to get started 😁😁
Can we use isopropyl alcohol?
So After I mix, I let them sit for 3o min for bubbles to disappear ?using heater ?
thanks
hey is alcohol good for both larger and the microbubbles? and can you pls name which alcohol are you talking about specifically?
its usually 90 or higher percentage alcohols
@@jenniferjasso5947 so 99% will be good? Cz I cannot find less than that on Amazon
@@monalikadoda2232 yeah thats actually good. I was told the less water content in the alcohol the better
@@jenniferjasso5947 great👍 thank you so much

Thanks for this video
🥳Congratulations on 100k followers 🥰
Thank you so much 😀
i have a casting resin but it’s 1:1..
Just a heads up, I tried to use your link/code for the make art resin and it didn’t work :-)
For casting easy but for table top epoxy or quick set epoxy these wont work if you keep that 20 minute in cup you will see smoking and after that burn because heat is growing a lot..
Is this why I keep getting worried many bubbles in my molds? I'm using the wrong resin
Nevermind, you just answered lol
How to remove resin smell anyone know
what about the 3 to 1 and so on
?
@@alysynwonderland2616 other resions 3:1 and 5:1
"Let it sit for 30 minutes~"
... it will have set by then. It doesn't pour anymore by then. You have cup-shaped resin after 30 minutes. The bubbles will not be at the top - they will still be in the middle. Because the resin has set, they will be in the middle forever.
alcohol can make your silicone moulds last for a shorter time than normally
Ya heat the resin up in hot water first no bubbles
Huh. The thickness discussion seems backwards, but OK.
Thanks but you vergat vacum pomp👍👍🇳🇱
Im sorry what is 24°-
Around 75 in us
How hard is it to find a temp converter online?
Why ask silly question?
