[@deblashbrook3209]

Thank you so much for such great tips, the best I’ve found ❤

[@aspudkicker]

Re-usable polypropalene cups was the answer I was looking for. Thank you for the knowledge.

[@daisyfreitas1373]

Thank you! The part about clean up was an eye opener!!! Keeping the stick in there and crunching the cup are definitely helpful!

[@chrissypayton8681]

Didn’t know you could buy the cups so cheap, you’re video and tips were very helpful, thank you ❤️

[@rosiescreationswithlove2026]

I've been watching a lot of videos about resin because I have purchased a lot of materials and want to make sure that I can save some of them in a practical way and not waste anything that I could save. This was the best video I have seen, and trust me I have spent a hole day doing it. Thank you. Keep doing what your doing and hope you well

[@devonaevans5473]

Thank you and I love it!!!!

[@cknichols817]

That is one beautiful galaxy tray you showed. Gorgeous

[@tcfmarch17]

I'm learning so many things from you...You've got me buying all sorts of things for all sorts of projects. I'm going broke, LOL Thanks so much, Myriam. You're a blast.

[@dindranew.6808]

Very helpful, thank you! I hate wasting all that plastic, so I'll be doing this for sure! You are appreciated.

[@Lina-bf4qd]

Excellent tips, thank you Myriam!!!

[@71elle60]

[@moussapolytropos]

I love those tips because they are eco friendly!

[@flosny]

Thank you Myriam for sharing your talent!!!

[@Jestunes]

Thank you Myriam! That was rewarding...

[@verajenkin6313]

I am so glad that I found you . I am new to this art and can't wait to get started. I just love the calm way you present your knowledge thank you vera

[@pamclark8842]

I've been wondering how to clean the mixing cups but now I know! Thanks for making this video!

[@Ozarkprepper643]

👍 thank you your knowledge is much appreciated. I've been fiberglassing small pieces at a time spending money on much larger mixing cups. I had never thought about medicine cups or even reusing them for that matter.

[@LisaVornhagen]

That's a good idea to pour the epoxy and hardener in the same cup1 I will definitely be doing that from now on!

[@MarylynBroomhall]

Love your tips, Myriam. Thank you.

[@gasmanhyjinks]

This video has been extremely helpful! I was attempting to find information about reusing cups for resin mixing as I don't want to create a lot of waste, so this was perfect!

[@sharonyoung817]

Myriam, you are terrific I love your explanations, how thorough you are and your cost saving suggestions. You are one of the first videos I saw about pouring and I refer to you often. Thanks for sharing.

[@pamelawilliams2427]

Thank you so much for showing me how to clean my silly cups I never even thought of it and I hate that I just throw them away. Now I feel much better that I can just reuse them I don’t know why I didn’t think of it myself. I have larger cups that I bought at the dollar tree that do the same thing and I just keep reusing them oh my goodness great minds think alike though I use a sharpie to mark my cups as well. Thanks again happy creating

[@johnswimcat]

Very clear, helpful video. Thank you!

[@susanhummel4086]

I was so astounded by your tips! I don't work a great deal with resin and can use all the help I get. Your tips were invaluable for me to be as efficient as possible. Thank you Myriam...I'm a subscriber now!

[@dmagill4]

Great content, Great editing and good clear sound -- Love how you cut out all bits that don't apply -- GREAT VIDEO! Thank you

[@dimplesdragonflies]

Oh my goodness...Great Tips! Yes, I'm Learning Right Along With You! Have Yet To Do My First Project...Gathering My Materials Slowly As I Go. So Many Interesting Items. Thank Goodness For Amazon and Your Nifty Shopping List! I'm So Excited To Get Started! My Sincerest Thankfulness For All That You Give Us, Myriam.

[@MyriamsNature]

It is soooo my pleasure Terri. I'd honestly share more if I didn't have to do the "real job" thing. 😄😂 I'm so happy that Amazon lets some of us set those recommendation lists up for everyone. I get a little obsessed with finding the best vendor for each item (price, reputation, etc.) so I'm happy the "shop" comes in handy. If you are an Amazon shopper now and then, and could click on any item in my shop before shopping (it can be for ANYthing... socks, toilet paper, whatever) I get credit for it and it helps me keep supplies on hand for videos. I want to say thank you for sprinkling so much love throughout my channel... I truly smile when I see your name in my feed. May the paints and resin be kind to you. 😘

[@Skeith-oc2pf]

thank you this was a great help as i have never used resin before i didn't know if i could reuse the cups thanks

[@MyriamsNature]

It was my pleasure... Thank YOU !

[@bluey5353]

Great tips for me a total beginner.

[@yayaglass]

So much better than trying to wipe out cups after pouring, which is, oddly enough, the recommended method on the resin site for the brand I use. So messy! This is the way to do it!!!! Yay!!! Thanks for sharing this tip, especially about the tape for the drips in the cup, Brilliant!

[@MyriamsNature]

My pleasure... So glad it helped! I know just what you mean about wiping them right after a pour... soooo messy and sticky, etc. Honestly sometimes I just let the first cured layer stay in the cup and can use it again for mixing colors AFTER mixing my clear batch first in a clean cup. Using "dirty" cups with cured resin at the bottom for mixing the actual clear resin will throw off your measurements. Hope that made sense. 😊

[@user-wp9vf8kx1h]

Great Tips👍🏾. Thank you for sharing 😍

[@lindap7983]

This video is so helpful. Thanks so much!

[@devinmarshall6091]

Thank you Myriam for sharing your tips and tricks. I love learning new things and as my 4.5 yr old grand-Munchkins tells me, sharing is caring G-Ma, bless her and it's true. I will be back to see more of what you have to offer. Funny, I accidently came across you via someone else who had subscribed to you, cos I am nosey that way 😂 I too, like to recycle, so right up my street.

Thank you. Any resin tips are appreciated.

[@deborahnarendorf7106]

Thank you so much for sharing the Amazon site. One can look for hours and never quite find the right tool! I have wanted those little needle tipped squeeze bottles and kept coming up with nothing. Wonderful!

[@MyriamsNature]

It was my pleasure… Thank YOU Deborah!

[@archanarupani6952]

thanks that was very helpful as I am just starting to use resin and was wondering which equipments would be the best.Looking forward for more of such videos

[@sc7261]

So so informative! Thank you!

[@roseann1954]

Thanks for the cup saving tips. Also the short wide cups are great for pouring into the bangle molds. I'm new using resin, so I haven't mastered pouring without making a mess. These cups make it a bit easier.

[@Charismatick_AJ]

Amazing tips! 👍☺️

[@smaxain8537]

I can't thank you enough....thank you sooooooooooo much ma'am

[@russiareyes3044]

Can I use regular plastic cups as my mixing bowl for resin? Because I've seen some videoes when they use plastic cups their resin heats up and started to smoke. Please help

[@G.G.8GG]

Great tips! I'm a saver & just getting ready to start using resin. Have always enjoyed your tips and love your voice.

[@ginagreen6578]

I am starting and this really helped. Thanks

[@dianenortness2131]

Thanks Myriam! Great advice, as usual!

[@MyriamsNature]

Many thanks for that Diane!

[@idagress2090]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your recycling methods 😁

[@angeliquecoppolino1433]

I’m new to resin and appreciate the tip of using medicine cups! Thank you!

[@7spiritualcompass706]

I'm gonna have to try that. My brain block automatically makes my hand drop the cups in a baggie...And yes, I have been left with none to mix in. I do want to say that the short cups do turn over on me as soon as I place a wooden stick in it...But then again... It's always the operator...Thank you for sharing. Enjoy the resin topics, projects and tempting runs towards the bargain Mart's for discoveries! Much love to all. 🕉

Thanks Myriam! I am just getting started is Resin, so I am looking for tips and tricks!

[@cbrm3067]

Thank you for these tips a great help Myriam. Your voice is very soothing. If I was a kid yours is the sort of voice I'd like to be listening to when being read a bedtime story, just thought you'd like to know ;)

[@MyriamsNature]

Thank you so much for that! 😊💕 It is super sweet of you to say. I have often toyed with the idea of reading stories as I make a painting in a video believe it or not. One of the tricks has been finding copyright free stories to read. 😂

[@gloriapolite4417]

Thanks your tips and tricks are very helpful . I’m pretty new to resin art and I can use all the tips to make things more cost effective . Thanks for sharing.🌺 Mm

[@kimberlybinman5754]

Thank for the tips on Resin!

[@MyriamsNature]

My pleasure Kimberly... Thank you!

[@MileyonDisney]

In the short cups, you can break the sticks in half and they'll be less likely to pull the cup over... even though wood sticks cause microbubbles. Marina Sharp didn't believe me until she tested it with her vacuum chamber. Wood has lots of pores that hold air and release it in the resin. For small amounts of resin, precise measuring is more critical, as just a little bit off can cause it to not cure properly. The tall, skinny cups would be a little more accurate for measuring. Just think back to chemistry class with that tall, skinny glass measuring thing (I forget the name of it). I know - this is like Justin Bieber trying to tell Michael Jackson how to sing. You know MUCH MORE than I do - this is mainly for any newbies reading this.

[@jooeybabbabooey]

Graduated cylinder

[@neilhorsley343]

So your showing the measure and drawing on the cup was that a 1:2 measure 2:1 or whatever as my resin says to mix for every 10 ml of one is 10 ml of the hardener too, some great ideas cheers

[@sandrastorey3586]

that's brilliant thanks 😊

[@ericandcrystal928]

Thank you for your tips ! I really want to do a resin painting

Hi Myriam! Awesome channel! How do you protect yourself from resin?

[@bammcguee5047]

No polish? I've never seen you with naked fingers before! Lol Thank you for the information you give. Always helpful.

[@MyriamsNature]

It happens Bam... but I honestly found it easier to keep them polished for the videos 😂😁💅🏽 Thank you for your kind words!! 😊💕
