- This video shows some tips and tricks that I have learnt when using resin. It is an ideal tutorial for beginners who are thinking of creating art using resin. The video shows the tips and tricks I wish I had known before starting with resin. It covers the type of resin to use for the task at hand, the differences between polyester and epoxy resin and when to use them. I also show the types of tools and other materials I use when creating epoxy resin art. Alongside this I show resin basics that will make life easier for you. All the tools and materials that I use and show here are available on amazon, links below.

Although I often talk about health and safety in my videos, please make sure you do your own research and take the relevant precautions to ensure that you are protecting your health. I am not responsible for anyone using resin and not taking the correct safety precautions. Resin is a chemical and as such should be always treated with respect and the manufacturers safety advice taken.

We use let's resin mix. Just got my wife everything she needed to start including vacuum chamber. Tons of colors including black light sensitive colors. To many colors to list. But it was worth it to see her smile and having fun.
Part one: thank you for being so clear & informative, you're brilliant ❤😊
Part two: amazing result 😮
Thank you for using your leftover resin to make something! I hate that some people seem to just let (whatever their choice of art supply) go to waste. Its nice to see someone using the leftover materials.
Thank you for emphasizing the safety portion. Liked the no waste part too. Good video!
You make it look so easy Steve, thanks for explaining so well, it's a great help!
thank you so much. I have never used resin, and am looking for a hobby, and coming across your channel and watching you create has made my mind up to give it a try. thank you so much
Hi Steve and thank you so much for your frank and honest explanations that will save so much time and money! Xxx
Thank you so much for sharing! Definitely very helpful!
They're not repetitive. Love your style of videos. Motivates me to want to do more things with my spare time.
Thank you for all of your videos. I just recently purchased lots of stuff to start my journey. I have so many questions and you have answered lots!!! I can’t wait to start!!
Thank you so much for your explanation of resin differences - it helped me a lot!
I’ve got my first load of resin coming off Amazon and this video had helped me so much and get information so thank you Steve 🙂
Great video. I’ve been in search of a tray to catch drip big enough for canvas. I enjoyed your tips. Thank you.

I’ve always wanted to make things with epoxy resin but have zero experience with it. I love your videos! I’ve learned a lot and I love your personality and how you aren’t “putting on a show” and acting like someone your not. One of my favorite things about watching the videos!! So THANK YOU all the way from the state of Maine USA💗
Hi Steve, another great video, love the art piece at the end. Other things you can use to colour resin are spices......cinnamon, paprika, turmeric are gorgeous and herbs can produce nice effects too. Great point to recycle and reuse plastic food pots 👍👏 . Xx

First time viewing of your excellent channel. I'm just researching before dipping my toe into all things resin making
Gorgeous!
I so enjoyed the video!
This has been the most helpful video I've seen yet. I'm wanting to start doing these types of crafts. Do you have a video on just the types of mediums you use to create art on? (ie: flat canvas vs framed canvas, can you use wooden boards).
I am learning a lot from you. Thank you
I started using the Amazing Clear Cast resin that you can order from micheals for pretty cheap to test and practice on new molds so I don't waste money. I do love the Clear Cast from Amazon.

Hi Steve, thanks for explaining all of this! I am looking at creating some resin key chains and jewellery as a new hobby- Which of all the resins would you recommend? Thank you
I’m in America, Thank You for the information.
Thanks!
Loving this too! Resin is amazing & always looking for more tips on it. I learned a lot from watching Archangel. One other tip is if spraying any alcohol on it, be careful torching. I did that once & my whole board was on fire. Obviously, I didnt think that one through. I have seen others torch with the alcohol mix in it or sprayed on & it worked out fine. But, I won't be trying that again soon. Ha!
@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts ha....just have an extinguisher handy!
Oh my gosh thanks so much
Thank you for your informative videos. What is the watt measurement of the heat gun you use for your projects?
I really love it
11:56 I love your painting of the dancers
Very cool.
You so nice thank you for this helpful video
Awesome Indeed😁👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯 thank you so much for sharing
Also you're the 1st person I've seen to not waste all the spillover whew🤷🏽♀️ I would always ask the video Instructor Artist through my phone of course, 🤣🤣What are you going to do with all that paint spillover? Seems like a waste of materials! Art supplies can be quite Expensive and I'm a Queen of re-purpose, recycled things😀
I'd never seen an Resin pour WOW❗
EVERYTHING was Fantastic and Beautiful!
I always learn so much from you keep it up💯❗😁👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Very helpful
Superb Sir👌👌
Although you have an ascent beautiful one I still can understand so I subscribe to your channel beacuse I explained it very well!!!❤🇺🇸
Glad to know I can use eyeshadow to color, I have a ton 😂
Lol me too. I have also tons of acrylic paints to used.
Yes you can
