[@VickyCooksalot]

This is going to be fun a collaboration with D&A If you use a soft brush static should hold the gold leaf. Then dab with the brush to set it in then burnish with that soft brush. That way you can brush to remove the gold. That's how we did it 30 years ago when I worked in a craft store. Yes please again. 😊

[@VickyCooksalot]

I left a comment on D&A and you should hear it too. I appreciate this collab a lot. "@dandaresin you and Tracy doing a simple collab is great. By simple I mean just the two of you. It doesn't have to be a big production with loads of people. I like these between "seasons" to keep the fun going"

[@just4youonlineuk]

Fantastic experiments Tracey, we totally agree - the dragon had a very antique effect! The bit of amine blush was probably from the moisture in the glue affecting the resin surface, looked fab with the top coat. The coaster looked really cool, loved it. We are off to watch Donna's now 💕 x

[@miniscenesgb]

Interesting! though that happened before the glue so i think moisture in the air. I've just had a small dehumidifier delivered that I hope will sort it out. I'm glad you liked it :) Donna's video is great, love the colour she used too

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks Pecan :)

[@susanburrows5288]

I love the red and black tray and how the colors reacted on the top! I like the dragon stencil, but it has pieces missing where they shouldn't be, which contributed to an unclear pattern. I've never done any resin at all. This is what I know from using this stuff on paper: 1) the hardest thing seems to be finding a temporary adhesive for the stencil that doesn't leave a residue on the substrate. 2) As you found with the second piece, to get detailed coverage, leave the stencil in place and apply the glue/size. When the adhesive is ready, apply the gilding or glitter over the stencil. Burnish extensively and thoroughly, and brush off all possible extra BEFORE removing the stencil. 3) remove stencil. If the temporary stencil adhesive comes off cleanly, you can try more burnishing of the pattern. If there is any residue, don't even try more brushing just put on the protective layer, the residue will just pick up whatever is loose on the piece or the brush. Overall, I've also found that a moderately stiff brush works better than a soft floppy brush. It can both push the gilding into the corners of a stencil better and can brush any extra off the piece more cleanly. Hope this ramble of info helps with resin substrate. I'm a pretty new subscriber and have enjoyed all your projects so far. Thank you for the fun projects.

Thank you for this,you are right there are no videos for this.

I havent revisited ,that technique for quite some time i will revisit though,along with some of these techniques you've shown today . This was very inspiring, I love the dragon and the coaster . Ive come to find out that when we make things and they dont come out like the vision we at least me thinks its a fail and someone will come along and think its wonderful. ☺️ .

Great tip! And yes! I just did it with the wonderwipes, you just saved my stencil :)

[@craftyT2B]

You have given me food for thought at what can be used. Maybe the sticky you put on the back of the stencil is causing a problem. Try taping the stencil down. Love your videos. X

[@miniscenesgb]

I did try taping as I wondered about the glue too, it didn't hold it down over such a big area. the glue was spray mount on the first one and Tack it Over on the second one. I shall keep experimenting. Thanks for your thoughts :)

[@Leena79]

I think the dragon looked pretty good, especially the part you used the powder pigment on. It was a really tricky stencil to pick, and would have been a challenge with any medium. I wonder if you could put the stencil on when the resin is still a little sticky, and instead of using the gilding glue, put the metal sheet directly on the resin? 🤔

[@miniscenesgb]

Not sure, certainly worth a try though.

[@lada3145]

I've done this on resin trays and tumblers, if your resin base is fully cured and wiped down removing the stencil before gold leafing etc works wonderfully, but powders like micas/chameleons it's better to leave stencil on -for some reason it still gets stuck to unstenciled resin and it's a pain in the butt to clean it up with a q-tip and alcohol

[@miniscenesgb]

Ahhh great tips, thank you so m uch

[@Iddy-biddy]

I’ve been pondering on this for a while myself now and I’m thinking about waiting until the resin is slightly tacky, placing a stencil down and using mica powder with a clear top coat to finish it. Do you think that would work? Great video, very inspiring 😊

[@miniscenesgb]

Go for it! If you look at D&A Resin's pat of this collaboration, Donna demos some ideas around this too

[@bonneeley5670]

I am not a person who resins. I make cards. With foiling, I hate the static electricity that goes with it. We use talc powder, but you probably can't use that on resin. But I use a dryer sheet to go over my paper and stencil to cut down on the fly-a-ways. I have used a new one and a used one - prefer a used one. May be if you lightly touch it to the resin before adding the stencil, it might help. And cut down on the static. Make sure you burnish the gold leaf sheets with a soft brush or it can mark with a stiff bristle brush. The flecks need to be burnished into the glue with a firmer brush or they can lift after removing the stencil. They also make a gold leaf sheets in different colors that is put on to a plastic sheet. With those you only need to add the glue, let the glue go tacky, and then put the sheet down, burnish with your fingers, and then lift the sheet up. With those sheets the color side is up, and the underside that has silver color goes down, with contact to the glue. But the glued side down might not be transparent. I do not know, I have only done paper. Maybe this will help. With the last one there is not all of that loose leaf static and maybe this helps to keep the fly-a-ways off the rest of the resined areas, less clean up afterward.. And more fun to play

[@miniscenesgb]

Thanks for the info much appreciated Yes I have the leaf sheets in a mass of colours. I do have a static pad, that might help. I did burnish with a soft brush in this video :)

[@miniscenesgb]

Great idea!! Glad you like them

[@RosesResinPeace]

I'm wondering if the stuff you used to adhere the stencil down was part of the problem with the clarity of the fine details and getting the foil, glitter, etc where it shouldn't have been. Perhaps tacking down the outside edges with painter's tape instead would work? Or cutting stencils out of vinyl? It's certainly worth fine tuning.

[@miniscenesgb]

yes I wondered that too. Definitely something to think on, The tack was spray mount the first time and "Tack it Over and Over" the second time

[@Woekkie]

I'm not sure if it still exists but i remember in kindergarten we had this childrens glue that you could also wash with water but it's mainly the consistency that could be interesting as it was a very stiff paste and was made from gluten. You may have something like this on the other side of the pond, as it is fairly stiff it may creep under your stencil less.

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes we do, it's called PVA and it's widely used, but this experiment was to try Size instead :)

[@Woekkie]

@@miniscenesgb Ah i thought the gold was the experiment and figured maybe a more stiff glue would make your life more easy.

[@miniscenesgb]

Size is actually designed for gold leaf so I was trying that out :) Looking at D&A's experimenting in the other half of this collaboration, Mod Podge might be the way to go, which is quite stiff, bit stiffer than PVA. Good thought process :)

[@micah06v8]

I'm pretty sure Wendy over at Toonpish did something with mica powder and a stencil a couple months ago. I just went and looked at her page (it was driving me nuts because I couldn't remember when it was) and the two that she did were about 8 months ago. For the glue you mentioned. You can use any sort of oil. I'd recommend using mineral oil, because it's inert. A light oil like that will get rid of most adhesives unless you're working with something like contact glue or CA glue. FYI I'd recommend not rubbing the size on when you're using a stencil. Because you'll end up pushing the fluid under the stencil of which I think why you got some of that smudging. Along with the pattern being very intricate and they're not being a lot of space between the holes.

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes Wendy did but not with Size. Also D&A Resin in the other half of this collaboration. In the end the stencil cleaned up with Wonderwipes, I'll m ake a note of the oil, that's useful to know. I didn;t rub the size on, just dabbed, but it still got underneath a bit ;)

I dont think that is a blush otherwise it would have wiped off when you applied pressure to remove the mica and glitter. Amine blushes are water soluble and only on the surface so they wipe off with a bit of pressure and wet wipe or damp cloth. It looks more like unmixed resin drawing to the middle for heat to try and cure it goes dull. The end results still look great though ❤

Da resin just did one using gold leaf on a stencil. It didn't work out as well as mica powder or resin with glitter

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes that's the other half of this collaboration as I say and link in this video. Donna used Mod Podge, wheras I was testing Size :)

[@carolbrady2596]

@miniscenesgb I posted too fast, I paused and should have kept watching, I would have seen that, lol.

[@miniscenesgb]

Lol - though I say so in the video description, the thumbnail and in the intro. Do pay attention my dear :) Hugs

[@phillyl9445]

I'm not sure, but the stencil has very small lines. Micro glitter might work better to get that small of lines. Pretty though.

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes, I did say in the video that the stencil was too detailed, hence the second piece I did. You’re right

[@adelealdridge2080]

It looks good for a 1st try but i think maybe a less intricate design could maybe work better possibly

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes definitely , like the second one, way better

[@adelealdridge2080]

@miniscenesgb yes definitely a lot better I feel the dragon while stunning just had to many tiny spaces

[@DeborahOlander]

Also, there are 2 sides to that tray! You can have a go on the NEW front. 😂

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes, though it wasn't great so I decided not to for the video, it will be a useful piece to experiment on

[@Carolakapiewacket]

Yes shouting 😂

[@miniscenesgb]

Lol nice one

Yes :)

Love Love both pieces!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks Tammy :)

I really like how there are all these different techniques to use with resin. Blue Elephant Gifts used tracing paper to transfer a design onto resin, totally different from your project but intriguing nonetheless 💕

[@miniscenesgb]

Yes I'm loving all the ideas out there. I love their channel too

Stumbled upon your video - yep - have done this many times using various stuff - glitter and gold leaf but have not always filmed my process. It's not much different to what you have done. I make my own stencils using a light tack stencil vinyl and I think I used "tack it" as my glue in this video. Here is a quick video of a glitter piece I have done: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z53LlpKaZ7qaaqMsi=tAg1UD3U6qrx2X32 and here are a couple of shorts: kzbin.infoX6cIu9aaEyg?si=w2A7DPeGxajPA5Jk and kzbin.infogFFpl85gy_M?si=lK2RIaOqvCI9H6Sf and my personal favourite: kzbin.infoDX2RiJK3tbs?si=gHHqmmAeU8EtZ2Ka - it has ashes of a friend's son in it - the trees were done free hand and not a stencil.

[@miniscenesgb]

Great - using Size through a stencil? I found videos using other glues but not Size.Awesome. Thanks for all the links, I'll settle down with a cuppa and have a watching binge. I plan to cut some vinyl stencils to try next time, I don't use my Cricut enough :)

[@miniscenesgb]

Aw I've watched the first one, it's fantastic. The others just come up with an error so I can't watch them

[@HijinxStudios2020]

@@miniscenesgb Don't use normal vinyl though - need a low tack one that is a stencil vinyl so it doesn't leave any tack on your resin (less clean up that way).

[@miniscenesgb]

@@HijinxStudios2020 Thanks for the tip. I do have actual stencil film too, I guess that's a low tack one

[@HijinxStudios2020]

@@miniscenesgb That will be perfect!
