  • 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.

    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💗

    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!
