Well thank you for watching and subbing! I don’t churn out lots of videos but I do my best to ensure the ones I do put out are helpful to at least someone! There will be more on the way that you may like. I agree there are many great creators out there sharing brilliant tips to help increase our knowledge! They inspire me too. UV resin is a fun, versatile option and you’ll find lots of crafters making all sorts with it - Daniel Cooper is a good shout for that! Finally, I’d recommend sourcing somewhere locally to buy this medium in bulk as it will work out cheaper but this was indeed a great option for experimenting with or just for fun. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment!

‘Touché’ - appreciate the comment! thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Is it not? That’s surprises me. I’m sure there are many alternatives though and they’re all pretty much the same as I’ve learned over the past year or so trying a few out!

Haven’t seen it anywhere, Jemonite also not in the U.S, available in Canada which is my neighbor, but considered Europe.

That’s bizarre! My main go-to for Eco resin now (and you’ll find some of my videos here on my channel) is Eli-Chem Resins and I know thay deliver worldwide. But you’d be better off buying in bulk as it works out cheaper per gram. Otherwise, you’ll also find my videos on “cheap” eco resins from Temu - again, it’s pretty much the same stuff and handy if you just want to buy a small pouch here and there to try out. Otherwise I’m surprised there are no specific brands of eco resin you can access within the US, there has to be someone somewhere. Joanne’s? Michael’s? Aren’t they the big brand craft stores over there?

Cheers! Not bad eh! Thanks for watching! I hope this inspires you to try it out for yourself sometime if you haven’t done so already.

@@artistrobfuller I've tried the Temu stuff and have ordered JDiction to try next.... Lots of fun and easy to do. I also ordered the same wax that you use. I enjoy your videos 😊

@loricleary4473 ah that’s brilliant to know! I don’t get much feedback so I appreciate it when I get it! Thank you! I’ll try to upload more often moving forward - my autism can hold things back, videos can take days if not weeks sometimes to complete from start to finish including editing and uploading, and other times it can be done in hours. All depends on how well things are working in this noggin of mine! So bear with me, I’ll keep them coming and will hopefully increase the frequency!

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching! It’s worth shopping around and although I got this batch really cheap from Temu, their prices fluctuate so much and I’ve since learnt that it’s actually more cost effective to buy locally in bulk which is what I do now here in the UK via Eli-Chem resins with their Aquacast range. Per gram it works out cheaper so bear that in mind if you use this stuff a lot!

Indeed, many places do, I use them myself. I actually made mine with sanding sheets and some plywood and cut them into sticks using my laser!

Thank you! I appreciated the view and the feedback!!

Thank you and thanks for watching!

Excellent! It’s really versatile! Check out my Jackson Pollock inspired eco resin project too! Give it a try!

And thank YOU for watching!

Thank you for watching! It’s definitely worth grabbing to try it out if it’s at a really low price but I’ve had lots of reports that it’s gone up in price probably due to growing popularity and the one I used in this demo is seemingly no longer stocked though they’re all pretty much the same! If you do get into it, it does seem more cost effective to buy the more established brands (here in the UK I go with Aquacast by Eli-Chem Resins) and order in bulk as it works out cheaper per kilo.

Thank you! It was a fun project indeed! Epoxy resin doesn’t always combine well with eco resin but those definitely worked well! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

@artistrobfuller I hear eco doesn't like to stick to resin but resin will stick to eco. Now if I can figure that lol

@twofatbirdscreative that’s right and from my experience the eco resin surface that you want the epoxy to bond with, needs to be rough/sanded.

@@artistrobfuller good to know that! Thanks

I have indeed achieved exactly this when using proper pigments made for eco resin. I used black to darken a primary red to make it more of an ox blood red and also with a primary blue to make a nice deep navy! Just be sure to add the tiniest drop at a time so as to not overdo it.

And I love that you love my demos! Thanks for watching! Any questions, just ask!

Cheers! I agree, it’s much more effective! Thanks for watching!

Yes I’ve seen that done before. Not always necessary but worth it if you need it! Thanks for watching!

Apologies for the late reply, for some reason your comment was hidden but I found it now and thanks for the feedback! Indeed it’s great fun to use and a very cost friendly alternative (not replacement) to epoxy resin! Though in regards to actual cost, I still prefer to use a well known, more accessible brand that I can buy in bulk as it works out even cheaper as this Temu alternative isn’t necessarily cheaper on a monetary level unless it’s hugely discounted when you can grab it!!

Which materials do you refer to? If I can, I’ll be happy to add some extra links to them.

@@artistrobfuller the water proof sealant you used please.

@@lynne6534 link added

Indeed, it’s probably all the same stuff, just in different packaging!

Indeed, the actual pricing overall is quite revealing - which is why I still purchased and will continue to purchase my eco-resin from you guys and have been encouraging as such since making this video. I've just released a swift demo video using your Aquacast Black that you might want to check out too! Feel free to sponsor me for a proper, dedicated review of your products sometime! Happy to help spread the word!

@@007rastas I've just bought this product on temu but under another name 500grams for just over £5.

@lynne6534 yeah I’ve noticed they seem to offer a few and some get discontinued while “new” ones are released! I actually now only buy Aquacast from Eli-Chem Resins as when bought in bulk, it works out a lot cheaper and it gets to me quicker! This stuff is great when it’s on offer at Temu and you are perhaps just trying it out for the first time but if you’ve used it before and want to make lots of things, I’d recommend buying it bulk from a more establishment, transparent brand with a support network!

Thanks for letting me know, they have a few listed so I assume the original one has changed. I’ll look into it. Cheers!

To be fair, most info I've garnered has been from manufacturers that are based here in the UK, who have informed me that it's pretty much all the same stuff but I agree it's a wise stance to be skeptical at least! I don't think that everything coming out of factories from that part of the world is dangerous but there are most certainly outliers, the same could be said for places like South Asia and South America - Something as simple as this though - I'm clearly willing to accept it is above board until more evidence to the contrary becomes available. Most certainly makes for an interesting point of view regardless, so I appreciate the feedback!

That’s interesting re: the de-molding - but I suppose it depends on environment. I use those heat mats you can buy for aquariums and I switch them on when waiting for it to cure and it seems to speed up the process so I can unmold quite quickly. I still leave it for a good 24 hours before waxing etc though. As for the brand, it does seem to work really well for the price! I’m glad I tried it out and it’s good to see others are also enjoying it! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!

Can you provide a link to it because the one the Creator made in the description does not work for me

@@claytonjames4779 It seems this particular brand I've used to make this video is now discontinued and I would guess it is probably because the packaging was almost identical to that of JDictions Resin-crete and they may have complained about that! - but I've been informed that any of the eco-resins Temu promote of this type, are probably the exact same thing, just in different packaging so you could just try one of those. Thanks for pointing it out though, I will update the description accordingly.

Agreed! I have made some deeper ones for air plants and they were proper solid! Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Absolutely! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! There’ll be more videos on the way soon!

Indeed and normally I would but in this instance the product, for the sake of the video had not fully cured and was therefore quite soft in comparison to what it would be like, so some light pressure with dry sanding was sufficient for what I needed. Good spot though!

Thank you!

Agreed! I’m probably going to try out some of the others from there too, just to help confirm this but I’m confident it’s all pretty much the same stuff.

I have done so multiple times. The trick is to ensure that the eco resin is abrasive. So if you have an area that you want to layer some resin on, give it a sand to rough it up, then clean any loose remanence with 99% isopropyl (preferably) to ensure there's no dust or debris remaining and then you should be able to successfully adhere resin onto it. Also ensure it is fully cured - ideally a couple of days after making it so that you know all moisture is gone. It's not a 100% guarantee but it's worked for me so far. It also depends on what you want to do. So laying clear resin over some scuffed up eco resin might not be ideal so it'll be better with resin that is tinted with pigment. However, I recently started engraving designs onto my eco resin pieces and experimented with layering some clear resin over it and it worked well as it bonded with the engraved part of the eco resin really well, without me needing to scuff it by sanding it! You can check out my laser engraved eco resin videos on my channel too if you like. Thanks for watching.

Excellent! thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!

That’s great to know, thanks for watching, I’m pleased it helped you as that was the goal! I’d definitely give it a try, especially if starting out but as mentioned in the video I can’t advocate for the long term efficacy of the product as yet plus as someone who wants to use a laser engraver on it, I’ve still opted for a different, more established brand as I know it’s safe to use with my laser. I hope to one day hear back from the manufacturers of this cheaper alternative to confirm it is also safe and then I can do another demo but in the meantime if you want to check out my other videos using Aquacast, you can check out cool it is when it’s engraved too!

Hi, I was going to buy some of this from Temu, but it's expensive. Aqua Cast is around £22 for 3kg and Resin Recreate is £29 for less than 2.5kg x

@appleoneill5135 that’s right - it’s a language thing, when I say cheap, I don’t mean on a monetary level, I mean as in a “cheap” (unknown/unbranded) version of eco resin. To me, saying something is cheap doesn’t necessarily mean it cost less, just that it could be of a lower quality. As it happens this Temu stuff worked well so it’s probably the exact same stuff as the branded versions anyway - perhaps even from the same factories! Just different packaging! I suppose my conclusion was that, when it’s on a very low offer when you shop on Temu ( I pad less than £5 for my pack at the time) and you just want to try it out as a newbie, this stuff will hold up well. But I ultimately agree that the better known brands, I use Aquacast from Eli Chem Resins, are more accessible and often cheaper to buy especially when you buy in bulk! Thanks for watching and interacting. I appreciate the feedback.

Absolutely! And it’s so easy! And cheap!! Have fun and thank YOU for watching!

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll bear that in mind next time. Hope you enjoyed the video regardless.

Mine have always stayed in. Perhaps it’s about the curing time. I de-mold after about 30-40 mins then leave for a couple of days before adding a wax seal. So far they’ve been fine. I have seen other videos combining resin and resincrete where they’ve come apart so there is something to it, just not sure exactly to what! I’m sure the answer is out there somewhere on KZbin!

Yep, that’ll do it!

Thank you! So easy to make as well!

@@artistrobfuller definitely going to give it a go! I have just received my resincrete too! Happy times playing!

@@annagray6491 enjoy!!

Thank you! It’s a lot of fun to work With! Very adaptable!

Thank you!

Hi, thanks for watching, I'm glad you found it informative. It's recommended to use stone top wax to help seal material like this and I believe there is also a liquid/spray you can get that does the same sort of thing. Basically, anything, even from a basic diy store that sells waterproof sealant for porous stone, concrete etc should work fine. You'll sometimes find when you buy the starter kits for products like resincrete or aqua cast or jesmonite, will come with a small sample of wax that you can rub onto the product afterwards so that's something to look out for. I hope that helps!

And thank you for watching and subscribing!!!

As far as I’m aware, I can’t see why not. It’s a bit or miss though and also dependent on the mould - I found that the cheap mica powder I got from a Temu haul worked perfectly well, yet I’ve heard from others that they’ve struggled at times. I’d say it’s simply about experimenting. I just went for it and it worked out well.

Thank you

Thanks so much! Glad you approve! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave your thoughts!

Thank you! And the great thing is, it’s soooooo easy!

That’s excellent! I’m glad it worked out and thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for watching! Yeah I should think that’s fine, it’ll just take a little longer to cure before you’re able to add the resincrete and you’d have to ensure the viscosity was such that it doesn’t spread out too much over that time. Uv resin is easier for this and it’s relatively cheap so I’d definitely choose that if it were me.

Indeed! It’s very easy and very effective! Thanks for watching - have fun!
