It’s Alway so frustrating when the mold sticks. Just watched Tea and Arts video right before yours. She has great videos. So nice of you to mention her. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Will it have damaged the mould or will you still be able to use it? How will you get the bit of stuck mould off the resin? I love watching your videos and your giggle cheers me up 🥰 xx

I've been a subscriber for a long time now, but very seldom have commented. There have been a lot of resin "artists" - but truth be told, they all do the same thing. You on the other hand, take what is being done and go even further with your creativity. It's not mundane, but an exciting adventure. You challenge me to think about the artistic side of resin. Thank you for all that you do and for sharing.

13:40 is AWESOME! I was wondering if you could prop up the mold in advance...and then apply the uv resin on the slanted surface...letting gravity be an aid in the process of creating the "drops"...?

That happened to me recently when I didn't cure my resin long enough. I had my lamp backwards and didn't realize I was only letting it run on the first 60 second timer

[@dawnr714]

Wow these are cool! The last one and third from last are my fave! Those little ones are really cute too!!! So I accidentally discovered this effect just a few weeks ago when I was putting nail stickers in a mold and I thought let me seal them first so I had dropped drips of resin where I put the stickers and then filled the molds the next day. I was like wow that's cool - but then I had those dumb stickers in the way tho. But then all of a sudden I'm seeing all my favorite resin artists doing it now! Haha! 😃😃❤

I love this effect, I'm going to have to try it. Btw, if you run short of black mica powder, I found a jar of powdered charcoal in my shed and it does a great job of giving me a rich black - and costs a lot less too. I have the CRETAColour one which is a bit dearer but still cheaper than mica.

Hello again Mr. Cooper. I really like the raindrop idea. I wonder if we did the 2 part first, let that cure then add the rain drops with the high viscosity UV if that would work? Of course it would take longer bit I wonder what the effect would be. Thank you for your tutorials, they are such a big help with our resin projects. All the best to you and yours.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you, by doing it the other way, the drops would be raised? I'm trying to picture it but struggling 😂

Are you meaning a thin layer of 2 part, then the uv drops, then the mica, the backing color? Could give the drops a depth effect😊

[@dawnrosch8861]

I love all the work you do and god knows the patients you have….this is not about your work but the true way of getting a water drop is to lay some resin down and do some drops cure and final thin coat….when I look at everyone’s work it looks like pit holes in a stone if you know what I mean…. I will keep up with your work….you do amazing things

[@jodimarie379]

Mold may have been damaged because of the heat from the mat combined from the heat of uv resin curing. UV Resin can get really hot when it cures. Just a thought.

Is there a way of adding a background powder and then make the drops a different colour? Would a cotton bud remove the main colour from the bubble and then add a different colour with a micro brush?

[@Tiger804]

Hi they all look beautifull,, but is there a way of getting raised dots so you get a 3D look as I know that I can do this one, but thinking of how the dots can be more domed as well as inverted. I have an idea of using a tiny bead mould curing it and placing it on the pendent mould as an experiment, to see how it goes if it goes to plan more can be put on the mould and cured or tiny glass beads and chameleon powder or flakes over just the bead itself what do you think of that idea? Worth a try anyway I saw a frog with droplets and it looked amazing.

Hello from Mumbai, India. I recently made a water drop falling off a leaf for a resin project and i put the uv resin on the tip of the leaf and kept the uv torch ready and the moment it started dripping, i shone the torch and the drop stopped falling further. Then after it was as i wanted, i fully cured it under a uv light and it worked perfectly. Maybe you can give this method a shot???

Where did you purchase your resin mold?

[@daniel..cooper]

Hi, the links are in the video description 😀

[@naudiaangelica6925]

That may have been the U.V. resin, making it stick. You can absolutely damage molds if you cure it with a strong light.

[@daniel..cooper]

Ah, I did think that after but have used UV in these so many times 😔

[@naudiaangelica6925]

@@daniel..cooper There are a bunch of possible explanations. U.V. resin getting too hot is just one. Heck, if these are old, they might just be wearing out. I just got some dragon baby molds that go inside of an egg. I made the mistake of using U.V. resin to see how they come out, and I had to get a new mold. It was the very first time I'd used that mold, but the U.V. resin was too hot for it, and it warped the mold right away. Either way, after something sticks like that, you might want to put a mark on that particular form again, so you don't get more resin pieces stuck to it.

[@daniel..cooper]

@naudiaangelica6925 Yes, will definitely mark it, I think I may have used too much light as I forgot to hit record at one point so showed the light over the resin again, I think that's where I went wrong 🙈
