Guys, I just remembered an idea I forgot to mention! Once you have made the design on the flat sheet, you can use a heat gun on fresh sticks (cut down) and create a dam on the sheet before dusting.... then you have a mold! 🤩

[@invisiblue3212]

So many shape possibilities!🤯👏👏👍

[@lisatringali5581]

Daniel I think you can use polymer clay in a similar way

[@daniel..cooper]

@@invisiblue3212 100% 😁😁😁

[@daniel..cooper]

@lisatringali5581 yes, but again, you can melt this stuff down after and use again 😁

[@MsTJPink]

Bearing in mind the cost of this stuff (I'm all about the cost lol) I think using hot glue rather than the resin clay would be way more cost effective to make a dam, ...huh..wait can you make inlays with hot glue? I need to try that! x

[@edithallen7989]

As always, Daniel, WOW. 🎉❤🎉

[@michelleelle4622]

This is an incredible video. I’ve said it before and I will say it 1,000 more times; I LOVE your experiments! There is so much packed into this video and I love your enthusiasm 😊 “you can do this, you can do that, OR… you can do this”. Loving all the ideas!

[@daniel..cooper]

[@Stinkerbelle62]

You are THE MOST creative artist I’ve seen

[@daniel..cooper]

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

ABSOLUTELY _the_ most creative!

[@heatherjensen4003]

Never heard of resin clay. Now there is another thing I need to have!

[@alisonmary1443]

The crisp lines are a winner for me, my pet hate fuzzy lines. I coloured the art work (not resin) for my sons wedding with plastic toothpicks and could carve them down to the finest point, I was so excited cos of the sharp lines 🤣🤣

[@daniel..cooper]

Yes, crisp lines are a must for me too, the swipe and wipe was a little hit and miss for the sharpness 😂

[@cwv-artistry]

Did you know you could lay your stencil across the back of your mold and it will peel right off? It does even better if you rub it down in 100% silicone oil but it will definitely leave the design on your cured UV resin piece either way. But this is still ingenious Daniel temporary inlays (like a temporary tattoo 😂 which I'd love to see you incorporate in a piece) and doing the stenciled area in black was awesome it really made that interference green pop!! Loved this!! Great work as always ❤❤❤❤🤗

[@daniel..cooper]

Oh yes 😁 I did mention this and the difference between that way and this way 😁😁 Thank you 🥰

[@cwv-artistry]

@@daniel..cooper i knew you compared it to a stenciled piece you had done but hadnt seen that video so that was my mistake but still good info for those who dont know about it 😁 I'm still very curious about this heat and form stuff is their a way you can tell us how many sticks of each color you get and the price point?? If you did I totally missed it but I don't usually miss your videos lol super fan 🪭!!

[@Jeffreyburgos-f3b]

I am so glad I found your channel. My husband won’t be so happy with finding more resin stuff but I sure am. lol he still supports his wife(me) and the many things I want to try. Now I am going to look up resin clay. I have UV clay and now I want this lololol

So glad I have google search where you can use a picture. I had to find out what that was cuz I couldn’t find resin clay. Anywhere. It’s called Oyumaru. Reusable molding material also called thermoplastic. I happen to have a good bit of those beads from kits for trying to mold teeth but it’s the same thing. I’m so excited

Daniel, you just give away some of my secrets 😳🤣 I figured this out awhile ago, because at the time, I couldn't afford silicon to make inlays and had Oyumaru a friend gave me. I have also used them for clay texturing. They can be used for "rubber" stamps. 🤣 Its amazing stuff!

[@jtdw10]

Stop it! 😂 No, really, don't! I totally get how it's "all over the place," as you said, because my mind is totally spinning with the things I want to try now! Just need to order that stuff! I said it before, but thank you for experimenting along with us! So many videos only show you when everything goes perfectly, then we try it, and it all goes wrong! Thanks for letting us see you kinda figuring it out as you go. Oh, a doily or piece of lace would make a pretty pattern! Ok, off to Amazon I go! 😂

Im almost there with the funds for my next round of resin art and Im so excited to try the remoldable molding material!🥰🤩 If you are taking suggestions, I would love to see a resin pour with layered multicolor GlowInDark pigments for a spooky 3D depth. Kind of wispy, ethereal threads through the layers. is that even possible?

I add pigment colours to my gel medium, it works

[@daniel..cooper]

Which gel are you using? You use the swipe and wipe and the resin picks up color inside a gel?

[@cjdragonsplanet3509]

@@daniel..cooper I used golden regular gel gloss and added liquid pigments into the gel. I believe you can use most gels, then I put down my stencil and swiped and wiped. I left for 24 hrs and poured clear resin on top. The colours are quite pastel, but it works.

Hello Daniel! Great video. You're excitement and creativity are infectious. And, yes this video was a bit all over the place. But, that is just how it is sometimes when you get in that zone and every creative atom in your body are all firing off ideas at the same time. And, saying "wait, can you hold that thought?" to yourself simply isn't an option. Anyone who has an ounce of creativity in their soul knows exactly how that feels.. I did my very first swipe and wipe technique today and it turned out pretty good. and I can definitely see how this new variation you have discovered really does make the possibilities infinite in number. Thanks for another great video and fuel for my own creative fire. Blessings.

[@Oredraven]

Hi Daniel. Another very cool idea! When you were showing your swipe and wipe examples at the beginning, I had a thought... I do leathercraft and the need to get color into your inset areas seems similar to when I need to color carving or engraving on leather. To do this on leather, you use what's called a "resist". It's typically an acrylic topcoat of some kind. You apply a couple coats, let it dry, and the apply antique stain. It will only stay in the carved / recessed areas and the excess just wipes off. So, for example, I recently made blue marble-dyed leather with gold colored carving this way. I wonder if you could do something similar to fill those recessed areas in resin? It would probably depend on what colorant you were using. But, basically, you'd just need to coat the piece with something it won't stick to, blob on your color, and wipe off the excess. I'm not to the point yet with resin where I'm able to try it myself, but it might be an interesting thing for you or someone to experiment with. Just seemed like such a similar task that I think a similar approach could make sense.

[@ChibiChula]

Huh... Interesting ideas! Maybe if you keep a mini stainless steel rolling pin around and put it in the hot water with the plastic stuff, you could work on getting the sheet more perfectly flat without needing to rush as much? 🤔 Personally, I think it might actually be easier to use that colored UV resin that you did that textured, stringy look with to work with the stencils (pull up the stencil and then cure and leave as-is or add color on top) but this stuff would definitely be best with the molds for inlays. 😉👍
