[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks as always, definitely has a lot of potential 🥰

[@cwv-artistry]

​@@daniel..cooperit really does have a lot of potential. Like I said I think the issue was you used a UV resin piece as the inlay vs using a clay or epoxy I think you would get the results you want with making sure the inlay is made from the same material or im curious about ecos and clays releasing too

Guys, this is crazy! You need to think outside the box for this one! Let me know in the comments, how would you utilize this? What would you use this for? So much more to come! 🤩

[@cwv-artistry]

I can't wait to see what's to come I think using an epoxy inlay would be beneficial because I'm sure the skull was done in UV resin which may have caused the release issue. Id love to see it in 3 more ways , one with epoxy resin and epoxy inlay one with epoxy resin and eco inlay and one epoxy resin with clay inlay. Actually the eco and clay would be great to see in UV resin as well so I hope you give some of this a go! Just to see if the different types of inlays effect the results.. very intrigued by this one!

Not quite sure how to explain my idea...Will have to work on it to see if it will work, but.....I'm thinking of doing a 3D collage. Several thin layers, each with the same imprint but slightly offset from one another, and then the layers sealed together. Each imprint in a different colour so it resembles shadows. Sorry, I can see it in my head but not very good at explaining it

[@lynn6799]

I Finally have a reason to want to buy hairspray. I'm going to try this.

[@beckymurphy4714]

So....I would do the heart shape and add a small picture inside, like a loved one or a pet, then back it with the clear plastic and colored resin. Or print out a favorite poem to put inside. Wedding vows. A lock of baby's hair. Ashes. All kinds of options. Alternatively, I'd color the inside shape with mica or chameleon powders, then back it with a contrasting color. Lovely keepsakes or pendants.

[@Ac-ye7zu]

What do you mean by plastic and colored resin? So cool

[@trevorodell5564]

Not the poster, but printable acrylic sheets (or similar) can be cut to shape with scissors, then glued down without damaging the photo to create an resin\epoxy-proof bubble, so that the epoxy esin can be poured over to seal in the custom photo permanently. I'm guessing that's the idea.

The first thing that popped into my head was Christmas decorations! Painting the inverted image? Or fairy lights in the inlay?

[@journeyhome98]

Daniel, I think this is your best experiment yet. I have an online Catholic gift store, as well as traveling to parishes and conferences, and I have a beautiful collection of antique/vintage medals. I have put the medals straight into my jewelry pieces, but they are more costly. So, I cast some of them in a silicone mold and they were just an ok. The medals have a lot of detail and the didn’t necessarily translate well with the silicone mold. I had thought about reaching out to Wendy @ Toonpish Crafts and see if she had any ideas as to how to make inlays since the relief on the medal is inverted from her wax stamps. BUT…. This…. This is a game changer for me. I’m super excited about this. Thank you! Personally, I like it when you show the whole process as opposed to skipping parts. I appreciate you showing the mistakes as well.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks so much 🥰 Let us know how you get on with it 😁

[@mixedmediamess2607]

If you taped the back of the medal, sprayed it with hairspray then poured a bit of resin over could you effectively make a mold of the medal? Just musing...but it might be worth a try?

[@ThestuffthatSaralikes]

[@Ali-H3444]

When you put the epoxy in the eyes and nose it covered the hairspray. Thats why it bonded. I love this idea with the uv resin! That opens up a whole new world for different ideas. Well done Daniel ❤you are a genius 😊

[@daniel..cooper]

It would still be touching the epoxy regardless though, has to be done that way 😁

[@Ali-H3444]

@@daniel..cooper lol now that I thought about it 🤣 😂 😅

[@delsoul2003]

The short UV cure time doesn't let the solution eat into and render the hairspray useless, whereas epoxy overnight sits against the hairspray and slowly eats it away leaving exposed spots where it then bonds.

[@joyceeberner]

I just love you showing the trial & Error side of creating! I already have ideas. I’ve been thinking for some time now about a hollow mold where front & back.. for putting tiny mementos like a baby’s 1st tooth or lock of hair, etc. Also, you may want to try glycerin ; I’ve made things like a snow globe. I’d use that with some glitter or tiny decorative flakes. Looking forward to what’s next!!

Wow. You never cease to amaze me. I don't know where your ideas come from. But I am so glad you have them and are so generous to share them. Thank you. Very well done.

[@AceKaci]

Fun video! You might have fun making molds from hot glue, which preserves detail surprisingly well. You can use alcohol to release the mold, and it’ll become flexible like rubber. It works well for UV nail gel, but not sure about resin. Might depend on how hot it gets while curing. Figured if anyone would be up for trying it with resin, it would be you. 😊

[@raquelromano5310]

I think this would be great for making Memorial pieces. The hollow heart you made, then add ashes, a lock of hair, etc. in the middle before sealing it closed… could be a really nice keepsake.

Years ago i use to make copies of parts for either repairs or to copy designs and we would air brush pva to create the barrier then epoxyworks released an article about using hair spray as a release agent and we started using that, we found it needed 3-4 light coats built up to consistently work, about a year ago i made a epoxy stand for a heart shaped burl and resin keepsake ring box i made so i used dashboard shine as i didnt have hair spray to hand that contains silicone and sprayed the bottom part of the heart that i want to use to creat a perfect copy in the new resin stand, i coated and polished it about 6 times till i could feel it was very slick and it worked perfectly, when the resin cured it popped right out.

[@Leena79]

I can immediately think of a number of items I'd like to try this with. I'm also thinking, mainly since I don't have firm hold hairspray in the house, if this would work with art fixative, which I do have. Hairspray is sometimes used as a cheap alternative for fixative, but would it work the other way around? I assume the epoxy doesn't work because it tends to stick to things more firmly in general, compared to UV resin. Maybe we just need to come up with something other than hairspray, that would do the trick? How about something like Pledge (that cleaning spray which leaves a shine to wood furniture - that shine is something wax-like, which might mean non-stick). What else can you spray on things? Acrylic varnish, something for making cars shiny...? 🤔

I love watching you and it’s funny you spoke about shakers I’ve had to stop but you have me excited about the little cages and getting started again you have a nice calm, soothing invoice and comfortable to listen to thank you for all that you do

[@fraudbuster1456]

You can leave the eyelet in. It won’t weigh enough to cause issues. Any figure you dunk will have a varied center of gravity (CG) depending on the shape. The fact that the skull floats flat means that this does not depend on the CG. Also having the eyelet remain in place will make adjustments easier to accomplish when setting into place. If you don’t have a light enough eyelet, you can make a small gripping stick from resin and affix it to the back of the skull. For doing epoxy, you can use the one you made from UV resin and pour 2 part silicone in to make a copy of the skull in silicone. Be sure to embed a gripping tool into the back of the silicone skull before curing. Once the silicone skull is cured, pour the epoxy (filling the skull sockets first) and position it. Use a clamp or support to hold it in place. Once the epoxy is cured, pop the silicone skull out and rejoice.

[@charlenemiller1086]

I got mold release to work 🎉 2 good coats and let it dry for 3 hours in between, then 12 more hours in the same room as the pour. Used Craft Resin brand resin and let it cure for 6 hours before un-molding. Only put pressure on skull from underside and it literally popped out without needing to pull from the topside. The skull did shift position during cure, approximately 2 hours into cure. Leading me to believe initial placement needs to be more accurate because of the displacement of the resin, or holding the 'skull' in place for a bit until the resin compensates enough to hold. I also tried an intricate patterned button (plastic) at the same time and worked beautifully. Next will be an aluminum stud type piece in a larger flat mold. Thank you so very much for starting this journey. ❤
