👉 RESIN SAFETY ADVICE • Alumilite Explains: Ep...

[@deanaduffey1260]

Wow those are gorgeous. Let's Resin there is a demand for black pu resin, would be awesome for clear too (not sure if that is a thing yet). As always Tracey wonderful video, love how they turned out.

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks. Yeh I do very little with white but tons with black so I hope they do it soon. I'm told clear PU exists though I've not found it yet. I would like to try it and see how clear it is - and if it doesn't yellow over time

[@MarcysArtsyFartsyCreations]

Tracey, these are beautiful 😍 Please don't worry about cleaning before you pour, it is NOT being "filthy", it is working within normal parameters with all resins, especially with PU resin when mixing and pouring times are so very limited! Love ya lots my friend! 😊🤗

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

I'm honestly so nervous about even trying PU resin because it cures SOOOO quickly, and I'm terrible at planning stuff ahead, so I'd end up with cups of cured resin before I could even use it. 😂

[@miniscenesgb]

Lol I soon learned to get more organised with it. I's wonderful stuff. The good thing about the white is you can actually see what it's doing - the black you can't so I worry more about feeling the cup for heat. You do get a warning - the slightest warm feeling to the cup - pour quickly. Preferably pour before that though. Stir quickly and pour :)

[@kheventplanner]

I feel the same way,I fear I'd never have it together enough to use it!

[@candymatek3]

I also agree, although I think my husband may try to get into it. I've gotten him hooked on resin art.

[@kheventplanner]

@candymatek3 my husband is pretty fascinated by this too,I think he's going to wanna try it soon too!

[@clowmcallister1557]

The first time I used it I was really slow. Poured a couple of molds and as I was pouring the last (obviously) it cured as I was pouring it. LOL I had a waterfall from the cup to the mold. Learnt by my mistake. It is fun to use.

[@SkitchBean_aka_Christine_E]

[@miniscenesgb]

They are awesome but I did have to spend about £45 each to get them to the UK. I saved iup. they are very special

White and black definitely give different effects behind holo powders and such. It really doesn’t matter what type of work you’re doing, either. It’s the same with doing nails.

[@LostSiren13]

@@miniscenesgb Let me know how it works. I’m curious.

[@vincentferrari]

If your screws are undoing themselves try Locktite (from the hardware shop). The blue kind should be more than adequate to keep them in place and you should be able to remove it and reapply if you ever need to re level 😊

[@miniscenesgb]

Turned out it wasn't the screws, the wood was warping. Maybe from the heat of curing resin and my heat mats. Should be OK now with the glass one but if I have issues, that's a good tip thanks

[@bobswihart]

I have not tried PU testing. Some day we really need to order some. I keep saying that and still have not added it to my cart. Why am I waiting? I don't know. I bet you have some loctite thread lock for your cars, you should put some on your leveling table. It worked great for me. The colors on the dragon are wonderful! 😊

[@miniscenesgb]

tried that Bob - it wasn't the legs, the wood was warping it turned out in the end. probably from the heat generated by heat mats and resin curing. Should be fine with the glass one. I use superglue for my aquascaping so always have some

[@tracyharper2121]

Hi Tracy. I found that the PU resin works ok with moulds that are simple. I tried it in the tree of life mould and it broke on de-moulding!

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes as I've said in other comments, it can be delicate for very fine parts. I've used it on huge complex moulds, it's just when you have long thin parts like that dragon's tail. I found the Let's Resin PU ok on the tree of life. I haven't tried the black one on the tree yet though, but it does seem they vary

[@roxannaalbert861]

I use a lint roller or packing tape to clean my molds and silicone mates

[@miniscenesgb]

Now that’s a great tip, thanks

[@Redwheelie]

Anybody who has ever used glitter or flakes knows that it never goes away only hides in corners you never knew about!😂😂😂

[@miniscenesgb]

So true lol

[@Lucifer.]

Quick, easy, and thrifty alternative to buying a new table: mark the correct height for the leveling screws with a marker, buy four nuts that fit the leveling screws, remove each leveling screw one by one and thread on two nuts each. The top nut will be adjusted up to the marker line and the bottom nut will be adjusted to snug up against it. The top nut will set the correct level, and the bottom nut will prevent the top nut from moving. It should cost about 10-20 cents per nut. If there's only room for one nut before reinstalling, get a bottle of Loctite Blue 242 and put a drop on the screw thread at the marker line before adjusting. Note: Loctite Blue 242 is in a red bottle, and Loctite Red 271 is in a blue bottle. Blue is temporary in case you need to readjust, Red is permanent-ish. a 6ml tube should cost you about $8. Hope that made sense and helps.

[@miniscenesgb]

Great tip. However in my case it eventually turned out the actual wood had warped a little, probably from the heat of constant use of a heat mat and large resin makes curing too. Resin gets very hot. This new glass one should be perfect but I’ll bear in mind your tips if I have any issues

[@kazbeazley80m95]

There stunning. Such a shame that I can't get the polyurethane as its only available in the US. Fingers crossed they will sell it in the UK soon xx

[@miniscenesgb]

I am in the UK - it is available either via the link in my description as the cheaper price from there helps with the shipping, especially one you've used my discount code. It's also on UK Amazon at or Amason at amzn.to/3QxGquo

Hi Tracey, I love how these came out! 😍 Beautiful dragons! I am also hoping for the LR black polyurethane to come out. I've used the white, but don't know if they sell the black in the US.

[@DianasCraftyCastle]

Hi from America. ☺️ We cannot get black polyurethane resin here at all, which is annoying. I’m really hoping Let’s Resin makes a black one and a clear one. It would help me immensely, as I’m sure it would a lot of crafters.

Also, the only black that Let’s Resin has here in the States is a black epoxy resin.

And they look amazing of course 🥰 I'm noticing those horn snapping off are common issue with. Those delicate molds. I'm wondering if a person could just stick two small toothpicks in there while pouring the mold or something like that or those fibers that Daniel was talking about for those inlays something like that?

[@chrissieburke727]

U could add black paint to the clear resin

[@miniscenesgb]

There is no clear resin in these makes in this video, I haven't found clear PU resin yet though I am told it exists - and I'd then have to find a black pigment that works with PU too. If you mix black into the white it cures grey. Hence why I use the Polycraft PU for black as it's readily available.

[@Jellybean_Craftz]

Always love 💕 watching your videos. I’m interested in PU but nervous 😅with the timing… still a noob and I work like a headless chicken. You don’t want to even see my workspace cause it would give you nightmares 😂. Do have a question… is PU as hard as resin? (In resistance)

[@miniscenesgb]

yes it's tough. though for very fin things - like this dragon's tail, epoxy edges it because it has a tiny bit of give to it where as PU will snap . it's lighter than Epoxy too which is handy if you're posting stuff. I have to say though, because I've found these moulds to be slightly off level - if I'd levelled better, that til would have been slightly thicker. For small pieces like Jewellery it's very tough, and for chunky pieces too - but long and very thin like that tail is the only time I've had it break. It's pretty awesome to use. Love the new Let's Resin one. Such fun to watch cure

[@ginringames6730]

I was thinking... I wonder if you can wrap thread tape (like you put around pipe fittings before screwing them together) around the screws on the legs of your leveling table to keep it from unscrewing as easily.

[@miniscenesgb]

Tried that, but it’s turned out since it was actually that the wood had warped. I think from the heat of large resin pieces curing, maybe my heat mat too, not sure. So that table is in the bin now though I removed the legs in case I find another use fir them 😊
