Thank you so much!! At the moment, I'm not planning to do any more videos. I ended up with 730+ videos across 2 channels in 3.5 years, and realized at that point that I was completely burned out and exhausted. So I've moved on to other things. Thank you again for watching and for your kind words!!

That is a great question, but unfortunately, I don’t know the answer - I’ve never tried to do that. I would suspect that some of the nail polish might come off as the silicone sets up. But the only way to know is to test it. If you can do a very small test sample first, mix up just a little bit of silicone A and B (literally just a teaspoon or tablespoon of each part) apply it to something that has nail polish on it, let the silicone set up, and then see if it pulls some of that nail polish off. I’m sorry I can’t give you a more definitive answer!

Thanks! Doing very well 😊

I use the Artsyville foil adhesive (you can find it on Amazon: amzn.to/4bvfnZp). I’d add a little water to it so it brushes on smoothly, let dry for at least 30 minutes (longer is better), then apply the foil and rub vigorously. Heat is not required with these foils, and I didn’t usually use heat when doing these foil transfers just the artsyville brush-on adhesive. But some folks swear adding heat with a heat gun as well as rubbing helps the transfer process, and it certainly doesn’t hurt, so go ahead and try it - experimenting is encouraged 😊

Thank you!!😊

Thanks so much! 😀

Welcome! This collab video with Anthony Crammen was my last video. I’ve moved on to other adventures 😊 But there are 735+ videos on this channel and my other channel, so lots to watch! Thanks for the comment! youtube.com/@LuxindasOtherObsessions

Thank you so much!😊😊

Thanks! I’m not sure I can be much help - my black lids all unscrewed without any problems. If you haven’t tried already, my next move would be a pair of small pliers to see if you can get more force behind the unscrewing motion. If that doesn’t work, I’d return it and ask for a replacement. You may simply have gotten a tube with a defective lid or something like that. I’m sorry I don’t have a sure-fire fix for you!

@Luxinda Thank you. It helps cos at least i know what im dealing with now haha :)

Thank you!! 😊😊

Thank you! 😊

@@Luxinda you are very welcome! Have a lovely day!

Thank you so much! Everything is great, and I appreciate the kind words 🥰

Thanks!😊

Thank you so much - I’m glad you enjoy them! 😊😊

lol, thank you!! 😁😁

Yes, there’s always a layer or two of clear resin to seal everything once you have the design completed. I don’t usually show those in the videos because there’s nothing to see, and it won’t change the look of the cup design at all so it’s not very interesting to watch. But yes, depending on what’s on the tumbler (vinyl, chunky glitter, etc) it may take a few layers of clear to give a smooth glass-like finish to the whole thing.

Yes, resin tumblers can be hand washed no problem, just not run through a dishwasher.

It definitely comes in handy. Here’s my link to it: amzn.to/3xlRW5X

Definitely - I think galaxy tumblers are my favorite to make.

Once you get started, it can definitely be addicting 😁

Thank you! 😁😁

Thank you!😊

Thank you!!😊😊

You are so welcome! Good luck! 😊

Yes! I find lots of uses for them in crafting with alcohol inks and paints, plus I already had the pads around the house for puppies. 😊

Depending on the situation (summer humidity vs winter dry colder air, for example) the speed dry is touchable in about two-three hours. It still needs 72 hours to fully cure. Hope this helps!

Thanks!😊

Steampunk would’ve been great!! Thanks!😊

Oh, I completely agree with you! But there are a lot of relatively new resin tumbler makers that get really stressed out by fish eyes because they see them as some sort of imperfection (many KZbin resin makers make fish eyes sound like something to be avoided at all cost). I think in general folks develop their own ideas and expectations then are disappointed when the resin does something different. So in this specific video for newbies - who are often the most stressed out by unexpected fish eyes - I was just trying to help them get the results they want. I actually made several videos embracing and trying to encourage fish eyes, like this one: When Resin Gives you Craters in Your Alcohol Ink Swirl Cup... Thanks for your comment! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn6TeqaObp15qsU

Thanks for the question! I usually use an 80 grit sanding block from Walmart, but a sheet of 80 grit sandpaper would work just as well.

That’s awesome - thank you!!😊

Great info, thank you!!

Thank you so much - I’m glad you enjoy them!😊😊

Thank you!! Yes, I did use full strength in this video, although I have since experimented with diluting the alcohol inks (especially very pigmented ones like Woodies Goodies) with 99% isopropyl alcohol, and it looks the same on the tumbler and makes the inks last longer.

@@Luxinda thank you very much 😁

I don’t see why not, as long as the uv light can get all the way through the resin to cure it. So it might not work with uv resin that’s been colored with a dense black. In that case, the resin actually touching the mold might still be uncured when you demold. You’d need to experiment with that a bit to see what happens. But any color uv resin that the uv light can shine through should work fine.
