#258. HE STOPS Inks SPREADING In Resin!
In todays Resin Art video I try hairspray again but on epoxy resin with the petri effect!
I am amazed at how this resin experiment came out! Especially for a first try, I managed to predict one major issue but I know that will be an easy fix!
I love how the colors stay separated in these pieces and this will help so many resin art beginners to accomplish better results by using this method!
Shall I make a part two with the diluted sinker alcohol ink? I think I need to!

Hi all, whilst my previous video... may have been a little reckless.... this would not have happened without that experiment 🤩 This is CRAZY! x

[@Disjointedimages]

I didn't think of it as reckless - you realized the potential hazards and were cautious, even if you didn't expect the "pop" as it cured. Reckless would have been taking a torch to the bubbles hahaha.

[@daniel..cooper]

@@Disjointedimages 😁😁 thanks 😁

[@TheResinersPourHouse]

I love the spores! Would like to see more created!

[@VeneraBerens]

I CAN WATCH YOUR CHANNEL FOR HOURS

[@sianharknessjones]

I like the heavier spores! Gives it a kind of deeper look, like a world trapped inside.

[@lilmsmetal]

It gives them more depth, the heart with hairspray looks amazing! It’s my favourite of the whole video

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks 😁 😊

[@daniel..cooper]

🥰🥰🥰 thanks

[@sashahedges1508]

I like the ones with the spores as it’s more interesting. The vibrancy is amazing. You’ve done it again Dan!x

[@lauraspangle987]

Gorgeous experiment! Can't wait to try it!!

[@jpendowski7503]

The distinct colors and spores make a unique look. They all have a place for sure. Looking forward to your continued experiments.

[@KathyMcInerney]

Oh my word. I have been struggling with the Petri as in South Africa we don't have Let's Resin. Absolutely amazing

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Wheee! Dan, I LOVE the hairspray results! 💕😍👍 Fabulous color separation and vibrancy, and I LOVE those spores, even the ones touching the surface, for some reason? The "controls" are still gorgeous, as always, but...WOW for the experimental ones! Do it again, pretty please? Yes, try the thinned-out sinker, just to see, please? This was fun! 😊👍

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 🙏 Will try soon 😁

[@julienewell3959]

I prefer the hairspray results because of the deeper spores & colour clarity. Will definitely try this. Thank you 😊

[@Shines-On]

The ones with hairspray are a lot more vibrant. Love you Daniel, you are a genius! ❤

[@joannamiarrostami9404]

Ahhhhmazing! I can see you doing patterns with the ink , like rows of colors and running the toothpick through to create stunning patterns. :)

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 Yes, new petri effects definitely coming 😁

[@jamieharrison5946]

Oh my goodness I absolutely love the spores on the second ones you showed of the small round pieces and love the colors!!!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you so much!

[@jamieharrison5946]

Those spores on the heart are gorgeous!!!❤

[@lillyrodz2063]

Awesome, now more intricate details can be designed

[@PLHcrafts]

They are definitely more vibrant on the right. The longer spores don't bother me much unless it's a lot of them around the same area. There are some muddy spaces in each side. I think I like the the hairspray side better for the color vibrancy. ✌️❤️🤣 peace, love and happiness

[@Ali-H3444]

That's amazing how the colors are so vibrant! Hair spray?! Who knew? I like the long spores.😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Ali 😁 😊 🫂

[@ChibiChula]

Wow, the second one with the hairspray... when you showed the side view made me think of an alien concert for some reason. Then I realized it was reminding me of the Daft Punk music video for "One More Time!" 😂 I love that video and the effect with the hairspray. 🥰 Don't even mind when it blobs because the blobs have dragged actual vibrant color with them, not just the plain white or very diluted color. 😁 I'm definitely wanting to see what you create with this method and the modified sinker white in the future. 😉👍

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks so much 😁 will try my idea soon 😁

[@SunshineSomeday]

I love the vibrancy.. so yes, worth it!

[@daniel..cooper]

Yay, thank you 😊

[@Mylunaseas]

So much more vibrant. I'm going to have to get some hairspray!

[@daniel..cooper]

Crazy isnt it! 🤩

[@pamelataylor3537]

Love your experiments Daniel. The colours with the hairspray are beautiful and so bright.

[@gorgettemotyka6666]

Wow, I liked the one with the hairspray because the colors were more vibrant, i can't wait for the ones with more alcohol in the white ink. 😊😊😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 Will test soon 😁

[@LisaVornhagen]

The hairspray versions are so cool! I love the vibrancy of the colors! I actually like the spores. I think they look pretty awesome.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Lisa 😁 😊 🫂

[@dawnlennert611]

Absolutely beautiful love the ones with the hairspray. Definitely looks like a world in side.

[@annastellarossi4749]

Splendidi quelli fatti con la lacca per capelli ❤

[@Chantillitoo]

I love the sinking. It gives so much depth to the pieces. And the vibrancy is amazing!!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊

[@ShellsSpace_MyEndobattle]

Absolutely stunning as always! You have a brilliant mind and 1st class skill xx

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Michelle 😁 😊 🫂

[@janicehoehn8203]

The colors definitely stand out more with the hairspray. I can’t decide between the two techniques. Stunning.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Janice 😁 😊 🫂 They definitely pop 😁

[@DeanWhiteUrbanPrintzSunderland]

I have to agree with some others. The deeper sink gives it a more 3D look. Galaxies for example. The othr is cool too, but I like this deeper sink

[@jennierenzi8739]

The colors are so much more vibrant. Great job man scientist Dan😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks so much! 🥰

[@cynsbluediamonds5174]

Both look great but I agree the hairspray ones look vibrant. And I love how the spores look on those as well.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks 😁

[@leannemitchem8865]

That is so cool. Love the brightness of the colours. The “controlled” pendants are gorgeous as well. My favourite was the large oval one without hairspray. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Leanne 😁

[@ilsabailey8195]

epoxy resin yes that's what it is called. Llast video I called it time-dry LOL couldn't come up with epoxy. This worked really nice. Amazing how the hair spray effected the colors. I kinda like the long spores effect. Thanks

[@shitalya1]

I really like the spores ❤ Maybe, if you repeat the experiment, you could also try with just 2 or 3 colors. for example: red, orange, yellow for a flame look. I think this will look awesome too!

[@GlitzyWitch]

They are beautiful, the hairspray ones are definitely brighter, i live the the little spores, it makes them more interesting ❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 🙏

[@LatinaGem856]

I like the hairspray version; I like the vibrancy and the spores. Someone else said it looks like another world, and I agree. 😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 🙏

[@hyperscitic92a]

Daniel!!!! This blew my mind!!! I’m thrilled you found this out!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@kellyjean4981]

Love the brightness in the ones with hairspray ❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you Kelly 😊

[@PeggyFisher-of3dl]

The ones without look a bit “muddier” vs with the effects r clearer! Excellent!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊

[@traceywhite2480]

Can defo see the vibrancy of colour with the hair spray, you are defo the resin top scientist for us to learn from, thank goodness you enjoy this so we don't have to do bland resin art 😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Tracey 😁

[@kristinewithak8265]

So interesting 🤔. I do like the longer spores. Such a cool vibe.

[@cherylburkitt9722]

The hairspray accentuates everything.. wonderful to know! Great experiment I love the spores n 3d effects.brilliant❤😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks so much 😊

[@mandicoleman7433]

They look totally effin awesome!!! I luv them both ways but the hairspray ones have blown my mind

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Mandi 😁

[@carricowherd3826]

Those are gorgeous! I'm looking forward to the thinned down sinker version.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 Will try soon 😁😁🥰

[@Tiger804]

❤ Hi Daniel, I think the fist two and the last two that you done are stunning. With the first two, I noticed in the one on the right at first glance it looked like a sort of mermaid at the bottom of the pendent. the hairspray is most definitely awesome for this kind of project.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@marygray2574]

Love the vibrancy, with the hair spray 😍🥰

[@craftingwithsierra]

Mad scientist strikes again! Great job!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊

[@paulinebradford4823]

This is fascinating, Daniel. I love the vibrancy of the colours on the experimental ones. The elongated spores make them look like some alien landscape or something. Thanks for another great video tutorial! I can't wait to see what the watered-down sinker can produce!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Pauline 😁 😊 🫂

[@codykirkland]

Idea... try drop a color then immediately drop the white and so on and so on. And do your normal let colors settle then drop your white in each and see the difference. Love this experiment and all your videos.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks 😁 May try soon 😊

[@Msstudiocreations]

Total game changer right here. Now I need to steel my wife’s hair spray

[@pulsetkr45]

I love the 3 D effect of the spores.... maybe i am just a little wonky ...lol...but I really like the spores...it's like the colors are jumping out towards you!!!...Great Job Daniel once again!!!!😀

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@marykubasak]

I actually like the blending, and the lighter spores, but that doesn’t detract from another great experiment!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Mary 😁 😊

[@sweetbee52]

I LOVE the spores! Makes it look like an alien world. ❤️❤️🪐👽

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks 😁 👽

[@rhondamcginn35]

Love everything about this video, will look forward to the thinned down sinker white and what it does. I actually like the blobs, they look stunning.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊

[@jayneo8436]

I love this experiment; so worth it with the vibrant ones. Can’t wait to see how the thinned out sinker will work on the next experiment. 💗☀️🌈

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks 😁 Will test and update 😁

[@tammytoth5874]

WOW 😮😮😮😮 totally worth it. Those colors are AMAZING ❤❤❤❤

[@suehamlet8295]

They're both beautiful in their own right. I love merging colours, but then seeing them separate, just as stunning 🩷🧡💛💚💙💜🤎

[@tonic2639]

So cool!!! I am one of those people who struggles with the petri effect so definitely keen to try this. And I love the spores 😀

[@c.a.chambers68]

When you turned the second set over I said wow before you did - I love the way the green has spores in that one - like the difference with the heavier spores and the brightness in the experiment ones - brilliant to see ty

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 🙏

[@suewarnes9469]

I agree that the hairspray makes the colours pop more, which has its place in resin art. Personally I like the more uniform petri effect. I’m certainly looking forward to more experimenting with the hairspray. 👍Thank you Daniel. I hope you were wearing your white coat! 😅👍🇬🇧

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Sue 😁 😊 🫂 The lab coat is for special occasions 😁

[@TerrianneBeveridge]

I LOVE the ‘spores’!

[@JulieJennings01]

Fantastic!!! This is incredibly helpful. Sometimes those little rascals spread so fast I don't have a chance to add all the colors that I had planned to use. Thank you so much Daniel ❤😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Julie 😁 😊 🫂

[@katrinajohns4319]

This is amazing I love the colors more on the hairspray ones very vibrant almost neon both turned out beautifully but I really like the hairspray ones. Now I’m checking to see if I have hairspray 😂😂 thank you for sharing your creativity really like how your crazy mind works with resins.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Katrina 😁 😊

[@CynthiaPrice79]

I think both methods have their merits in different situations, really. Stunning results on both sides! It feels a bit like the same artist painted the same piece in two different mediums; one is like oil paints, and the other is more similar to gouache or pan pastels.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Cynthia 😁 😊

[@carorussotomassi1475]

Dan, they are amazing! I definitely think it is worth trying with a weaker sinker ink. So lovely though

[@MistyMoonCreations]

Very nice comparison video. 🎉🎉 That's why I like to put hairspray in my homemade alcohol inks. It's really helpful at controlling the spreading. It also leaves them a lot less muddy. 🙂 It truly does make a difference!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks, yes, will be trying this soon too 😁

[@WendigovanStudio]

Wow Daniel, this is awesome. It's deffo worth it, to the point I just got my can of hairspray and have put it on the side to be taken into my studio lol. I love the brightness of the colours and I LOVE the spores, so no need to thin the sinker white down for me. Great work and thanks for sharing your crazy experiments with us all. Diane x

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Diane 😁 😊

[@AldreKatCrafts]

Amazing Daniel! Love how it keeps the vibrancy of the colors! ❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you so much 😀

[@dollihombs4497]

I don’t really have a preference between the with/without the hairspray. There are some of each that I favor. But I like the small, round, hairspray with all the spores the best!😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Dolli 😁 😊

[@leemccluskey8522]

Such gorgeous creations. I love all of them honestly..the colors are phenomanal. Ty Dan! ❤ :)

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Lee 😁 😊 🫂

[@Sharauni]

I agree, I think it worked too, such a cool experiment and I like the heavier spores! In my head I have this idea of half filling the molds and drawing designs in black then adding more when its cured, doing the hairspray and alcohol and seeing if you can get a stained glass result by not swirling the colors. Maybe add each drop with a toothpick for better accuracy if not using an abstract black lineart design, idk, just a thought lol.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks, that's a good thought! 🤩

[@tammysimpson4824]

OMG what a game changer they all look amazing going to have to try this one

Thanks Lori 😁 😊 🫂

[@apocalypso3427]

I have to agree with other commenters about the spores looking awesome. It really is like having tiny little alien micro worlds. It would look fantastic in an aquarium/underwater type theme! The hairspray idea is genius and I can't wait to try it. New sub here! I think I've found my favorite resin channel! I stopped doing resin art about 5 years ago due to losing my art space, but I'm ready to get started again and you're inspiring me with each video! Thank you for all your hard work!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Pam 😁 Definitely 😁

[@debrajol3585]

Ok I didn’t read every comment so I may be repeating.. I’ve always wondered why almost nobody uses the color white.. the regular white, then white sinker. Some of my favorite jewelry is black & white (especially if you wear a lot of black). Anyway the hairspray thing would keep them separate so it doesn’t go all gray.. some would mix but most would be white or black. Also the lack of white makes it so polka dots and or a white framed image never happens. Idk I just like the white or white with colors. Black is the go to and it’s glorious.. but sometimes white is nice too. ~~Thanks for sharing.. it’s all very interesting and the possibilities are endless.🌹🌹🌹

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 You mean a white alcohol ink then add a sinker white on top of it? You may aswell not use it and just use the sinker? I have done pieces like that before, white with blue looks like stunning waves 😍🥰

[@debrajol3585]

@@daniel..cooper yah true.. no need for the regular white. Being able to make black & white jewelry would be great. ~~and I may try the white sinker with white & without just to see if it makes any difference 😂 So intrigued by all of this! I e went for the hairspray already👌Rock on!
