[@daniel..cooper]

Interesting experiment Tracey 🤩 Well done! It may be something I try in the future, let us know how the UV testing goes in an update vid. Yes, definitely needs some more experiments for sure. I'm sure you will unlock some great pros with it in more experiments, it definitely beats the boring black or white PU limitations 😍😍😍x

[@miniscenesgb]

I'm glad you saw this Daniel - I really hope you'll try it when you have time

[@ginger1860]

I'm a new viewer. The first video I saw was your first PU video. I really enjoyed watching both of them now. You are so down to earth, not trying to be perfect, but doing things the way most of us would. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to more of your videos! 💞

[@miniscenesgb]

Thank you so much Ginger!! Your feedback means a lot to me. Look out for part 3 which will be a live premiere on Monday, to pick up the next wave of subscriber's questions. I hope you like that one too :)

[@Kera.S.]

I agree with you 😁 She's so much fun, not fussy and perfect. I'm definitely not and I appreciate her realness, fun and adventures in her videos ❣️

[@michelle_resinrebel]

Hi Tracey very interesting, with the blue and green they 2 circles look like the globe 🌎 , very cool thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ xxx

[@miniscenesgb]

yes I thought green planet too. Interesting isnt it. I can't wait for J4U to release their brand

[@michelle_resinrebel]

@@miniscenesgb sure is, to be honest that's the only way I'll try it as I don't really have a place for it, if you no what I mean, I take that back 😂 I could use it for parts of the small pet memorials, sometimes my brain just doesn't work 😂 xxx

[@janicescragg2388]

I think you definitely have something with the pu Petrie effect. I think I like it better than the epoxies one. The cabochons look like planets, or super cool natural stones, with what is called fortifications. So exciting. Like you were saying, I really hope they can be backed with the uv resin without it separating. I am looking forward to the follow-up on this one. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤

[@miniscenesgb]

yes it can be backed with UB - tried that a couple of days ago. I'm all out till around the end of January when J4U start stocking similar stuff, I'm looking forward to playing with it further. We'll have to come up with a name for that planetary looking effect :)

[@janicescragg2388]

This is so awesome and exciting. Thank you for letting me know.

[@SkitchBean_aka_Christine_E]

Tracey, I am so glad, happy and excited I found your channel the last part of this year, 2023. Thank you for taking us along with you on your experiments. ❤❤❤

[@miniscenesgb]

Thank you so much for your support!

[@barbarameriton4818]

Gorgeous & easy. Sounds like just the project for today. Thank you!

Have fun!

Excitingly fabulously messy! Love it. And I like the dimensional look you got while trying then petri effect.

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@resinartists]

Wow,Ms Tracey, I'm sad that I missed the premier, as I slept around 12.50 or something, I was trying to keep myself awake.Your experimenting with this pu resin is amazing to watch, loved all thr results, especially that holographic and half sphere one,thank you always for sharing your wonderful works and experimenting 😍😍💜💜

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks 😊

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks 😊

[@LostSiren13]

This is really cool. Especially since it’s clear. Game changer. ❤❤❤ the tutorial. 🥰

[@miniscenesgb]

Glad you think so! I'll get a new bigger supply int he new year and see where it takes us :)

[@LostSiren13]

@@miniscenesgb I actually found several clear ones after seeing your video. Some are super expensive and some quite reasonable. Found one 5x the price of others I found. So the prices vary significantly.

[@miniscenesgb]

@@LostSiren13 I'm gad there's options out there. Great research. I think I'll wait to restock till I see what Just4YouOnline's offering is in the new year, but I hope what you found means that people can get this stuff worldwide. If you could share links here, that would be fab please

[@LostSiren13]

actually your link is the one that is so expensive. But I’m still searching for more.

[@miniscenesgb]

@@LostSiren13 Not my link, it's the one my subscribers found. Costwise this stuff just does look expensive - that one is a 30 minute cure too. I'm just waiting till Just4YouOnline release thiers to get any more as that will be available worldwide anyway.

🤣 so funny that you were off screen, love your humour!

[@miniscenesgb]

lol well I was determined to answer everyone’s questions fast so it kinda happened lol

[@debbrady497]

Tracey, I like that you have been able to use liquid pigments with this. I’m going to have to try these soon!

[@miniscenesgb]

You should! It's good stuff. Tonight's premiere picks up 3 more questions about it too

[@SunshineSomeday]

The petri gives a really interesting look. Thanks for all these techniques. Great video.

[@SunshineSomeday]

In the bear, the petri looks almost like tie-dye. Very interesting!

[@miniscenesgb]

Yeh it's an epic fail at etri but what it did instead, very interesting. I really must have a further play with that

[@melissarmt7330]

I really like that 'underwater' look! I'm going to have to give it a go :)

[@miniscenesgb]

Yeh it's cool isn't it. Epic fail as far as doing petri effect is concerned but that accidental effect is pretty awesome. I'd love to see what you do with it

[@seanjohnson4583]

Thanks for sharing. I had to laugh when you said ‘it’s december in England’ though 😂, definitely something I’d say lol

[@miniscenesgb]

Lol I meant the weather - not going to be a great UV test without artificial assistance

[@mariverhagen8082]

😊looks like you and Daniel should have a chat and see what you can figure out. What a fun video! Thanks for the demo

[@miniscenesgb]

I think so too! I messaged him before I released this video so watch this space

[@StephanieDwyer-t7y]

The round ones look like galactic marbles. Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks. and thanks for not minding the bad filming :) Yeh I think that accidental technique has a lot of potential. A few of the people in the live chat for this premiere are planning to run with that and show us all what they do with it

[@creativephoenix1411]

Really nice effects and i look forward to what else you can do with this pu stuff. thanks for sharing Tracy

[@miniscenesgb]

My pleasure 😊

[@CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

Looks like a 3D model effect.very cool 😎

Awesome reviewing video,Ms Tracey,a must see video for beginners who are planning to work with this amazing polyurethane

[@miniscenesgb]

Glad it was helpful!

So sorry I missed the Premier, was out celebrating my birthday with my adult daughter. She took me to the zoo to sketch then out to Sushi.

[@miniscenesgb]

Happy Birthday to your daughter - sounds like a wonderful day :)

[@Jellybean_Craftz]

Can’t wait for it to come out; looks like fun 🤩

[@miniscenesgb]

Yep I hope J4U , when they say "in the new year" mean very , very early in the new year :)

[@paulinebradford4823]

Tracey, you may have made a bit of a mess, but I found this video informative , interesting, and a whole lot of fun to watch. The only way to learn is to try it on for size and see what happens.

[@miniscenesgb]

thanks :) look out for part 3 which will be a live premiere on Monday, to pick up the next wave of subscriber's questions

[@bobswihart]

That PU resin sure looks promising. 😊

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes it does. I'm looking forward to Just4YouOnline releasing theirs

[@traceywhite2480]

Thanks for sharing it was very interesting and useful 🎉🎉

[@miniscenesgb]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@miniscenesgb]

Glad you found it helpful

[@decadeofmcfly]

Quick cure expoxy is generally a thicker consistency whereas in my experience PU is useful for incredibly detailed pieces. You should try a really detailed mould and you'll probably find that is the benefit over a thicker quick cure epoxy resin

[@miniscenesgb]

That is a good point, that's why I tend to use low viscosity deep cast epoxy in very deep moulds - which takes a couple of days at least to cure. So yes, a very good pont indeed

[@gypsyrose5405]

So sorry I missed the premiere--watching now--so excited!! Brilliant work--thanks

[@miniscenesgb]

Hope you enjoyed it! look out for part 3 which will be a live premiere on Monday, to pick up the next wave of subscriber's questions

[@snoopygirl40]

Thank your for happy messing tests. It is so important to safely mess as it's a way most new techniques are found that and lucky mistakes!!! So much more to experiment with. Can I ask if it smells more? I find because of the smell it can sometimes make me put of using it. Oh, just see you have a part 3. You might have already answered that. Much appreciated this videos. ❤❤❤

[@miniscenesgb]

No idea, I'm wearing a respirator lol. I have no idea what this or Epoxy smells like to compare. It does say low odour on the bottle though. Glad you found this helpful, though you will never get an answer on smell as everyone will be wearing respirators :)

[@stiffk666]

I think they look nicer than the petri effect. Beautiful blues & greens. I wonder how they'd look in galaxy colours

[@miniscenesgb]

Certainly has a lot of possibilities. I'll have a good play with that technique when I restock in the new year. I hope you'll have a go too :)

[@richiebricker]

Wow, the blue and green look like an ocean floor. I need to try it. Oh, its a lil more expensive

[@miniscenesgb]

in small quantities yeh a little. I'm waiting to see what Just4YouOnlineUK come up with in the new year before I buy more clear. Does look like in larger quantities that small prive difference sloses a bit currently

[@MarcysArtsyFartsyCreations]

Great experimentation video 😊

[@miniscenesgb]

Thank you 🤗 So sorry about the bad filming but I wanted to answer the questions people were asking fast and didn't have t ime to refilm lol. Monday's premiere will cover the next list of questions :)

[@joanstone4162]

Very cool.

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks

[@Mike-hr6jz]

Oh, this is great stuff for jewelry after it gets any thicker than a quarter inch and time it will crack and crumble epoxy is stronger when used in thicker items

[@miniscenesgb]

I have stuff in to 4 inches deep so far in the black PU, almost 2 years old I think. So far so good. I still prefer epoxy for big stuff though. Fingers crossed

[@redbootsproductions3577]

I just wish we could have seen the pours in the molds better.

[@miniscenesgb]

I know, I totally agree. That's why I apologised for the terrible filming. This was an urgent one otherwise I would have refilmed. In the new year when J4U release their clear PU I will do some proper makes videos This was a case of getting these answers to subscriber questions out. Terrible filming but no time to refilm :( I do apologise and thank you for your support

[@adalavin8648]

Tracey this is my new favorite video! I'm saving to my file of videos. I have to get some of this stuff. I love how that one effect turned out. I'll have to go to Daniel's and watch him do that technique also. This PU product really suspended the inks so well. So impressive! I liked how well it worked with the holographic molds too. Look forward to the third video. 💗💗

[@miniscenesgb]

Aw thanks So badly filmed but the smart viewers like you have spotted the opportunities :) Not sure if Daniel has picked up my messages yet, I did give him advance notice of this the day I posted the first one on this material. Poke him for me will you> he'll be sure to come up with some cray brilliant variations on it

I was in a rush to the toilet lol so didn't get chance to write everything. I'll have a play around and see what I can do with it.. I've just had a delivery for let's resins alcohol inks so just waiting for the clear PU to be delivered. Hopefully won't take long and if works ill upload a video and tag you onto it so you can see x great effects love you work as you know. And Tracey. I sent you a message on Facebook x under Donna Garcia x

Okies thanks, great so share our findings as I think the clear PU is new to most, if not all, of us.

[@dandaresin]

@miniscenesgb yeh I've never worked with PU at all so will be great to start with the clear. Jump straight in the deep end lol 😆 nah be cool to work with something different than epoxy. And it would be great to share findings etc and see if I get different effect than yourself etc as my studio atm is 22c so it's nice and warm and let's see if the temperatures male a.differents with how it effects the inks in the PU..

[@annagray6491]

You need a syringe! I use them for small things. Works wonders! Enjoyed this video. My PU arrived today. Can’t wait to get working with it. 🎉 at least you get a bit longer working time. I start to panic with the other ones! 😂

[@miniscenesgb]

Yeh I have syringes :) I was working through specific viewer questions on this one. Have fun with the PU, let me know how you get on. It's good stuff. Look out for part 3 which will be a live premiere on Monday, to pick up the next wave of subscriber's questions. Then as soon as Just4YouOnline release their PU, in the new year I'll get on with a load of proper makes with it :)

[@Ali-H3444]

I'm just interested in the clarity of it. Can you do a video showing more clear items. And what is the max depth to be poured?

[@melaniehenshaw8696]

Have a look at yesterdays video

[@miniscenesgb]

The previous video on this shows the clarity - and look out for monday's premiere as I do a depth test, and it's also good for seeing the clarity. Basically it is totally water clear. I'm doing a UV text and an outside winter weather test, see if it stays that way

[@Ali-H3444]

@@miniscenesgb oh that sounds great. I just had a peek at the other video. Don't know how I missed that one? 😆 I'm just concerned with the bubbles. Hopefully this next experiment can clarify that.

[@russstephanson6987]

Urethanes are much more picky in regards to ratios. To get maximum strength and the stated cure time a person should be meticulous.

[@miniscenesgb]

nah, I've had no issues at all and I don't measure or weigh properly. The ones made for crafters are a bit more forgiving

[@tammytoth5874]

Very interesting. Too bad not available in the US yet

Really useful. Did you do a UV test? If so, could you show us the results as I still have some concerns re yellowing, because their white and cream do yellow in the sun. Thank you in advance

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes but a couple of days isn't enough for a proper test. I'll report back on that in a couple of weeks. also a horrible british winter outside test lol

Amazing job. If anyone can do petri on the PU Dan can xx

[@miniscenesgb]

My thoughts exactly - I hope he sees the message I sent a couple of days ago - I wanted to give him a heads up on this

[@Tarisha086]

Do you think the clear PU resin will be available for world wide shipping like Apex? I really hope so as the closest I can find to clear is a semi clear by color pro

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes as they shop from their store worldwide, subject to each areas import laws, that's really the only potential barrier

[@vickieblankenship1484]

Will it work for flower blooms?

[@miniscenesgb]

Good question, I've not tried that yet. I'll add that to my list of next t questions to answer for when I get another batch of the resin.

[@naudiaangelica6925]

Alcohol inks do not work well with most P.U. resin. The Let's Resin P.U. resin has some videos about making a tie dye effect with alcohol inks. Some of the resin inks will work. I've found the cheaper ones don't. The acrylic inks are an absolute NO. Most dry ingredients work well, but I have found that the P.U. resins DO NOT like mold release, so if you keep your molds soft by storing them with mold release, definitely wipe them down. NO water based anything. Water will make it bubble over. I hope that helps!

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes definitely. I have a whole video on that on my channel. And this video here was to answer specific questions on clear PU, rather than the white let’s resin one

[@naudiaangelica6925]

@@miniscenesgb They definitely have their own properties. I usually use the illumilite P.U. resin, otherwise called model pro and color pro. They have black, white and clear. The color pro is the clear, and it takes some practice to get used to the particular needs of that resin.

[@kimclayton5814]

I bought some Zuri molds that are incredibly detailed. Do you think this would work on them? The molds are beautiful.

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes, absolutely. As it's low viscosity it should be good for fine detail

[@kimclayton5814]

Can you use alcohol inks?

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes, as shown in this video
