Aww I'm glad you got some inspiration! All the best with your resin journey and thanks for watching and subscribing 🥰💙

[@federicosilvestri4562]

Wonderful. Watching your videos I am convinced that it is not my heat gun that is not a good product, but I have to learn a lot from artists like you. Compliments.

[@Procrastipainter]

Thank you, there's a lot of timing you'll need to get right for your brand of resin. Practice on something small like a 4 inch tile. Good luck!

[@abigaillauren7665]

Also different heat gun nozzles give different effects mdear

[@Procrastipainter]

This is true

[@PattiHenson-q2m]

Love your sound effects

[@annedarmody9132]

Thanks for this. I’ve learned to leave the white sit before laying it down. I love your wave sounds - I could listen to it all the time - so restful.

[@Procrastipainter]

It def helps to wait! Those wave sounds are from Torquay main beach here in Australia. It's very relaxing 😁

[@annedarmody9132]

Procrastipainter I’ve been to Torquay. I live on Vic/NSW border but I have a love of the coast. Visit as much as possible. Usually Mornington Peninsula

[@Procrastipainter]

That's a lovely part of the world! I'm only a 15 minute drive from Torquay so it's rather convenient in the summer

Amazing!!!

[@Procrastipainter]

Thanks 😊

[@Procrastipainter]

If you go over the same spot multiple times, the white will mix in with the underneath resin instead of making a nice thin sheet over the top. Try only one pass with the heat gun, and lay it over as far as you can so you're not digging down into the resin

[@raghdahulaiba]

Thanks so much for what I learned from your great job.

[@Procrastipainter]

[@SPS_survivor]

Nice one 👌🏼 love the night look!! The “electric” blue looks awesome!! 👏 I’m still working on my cells, I think I’m putting to much resin on and also when it’s too thin.

[@Procrastipainter]

Thanks Martin! Definitely try waiting for the resin to get more like cold honey. Then hot heat gun air to get it to move 👌 good luck!

[@loysheker]

What type of white pigment do you use?

[@Procrastipainter]

Titanium white pigment paste from Just Resin (It's in the description box of the video).

[@SPS_survivor]

I can’t source JR here in the Uk ... 👎🏼 I am using ‘craft resin’ with castin’ craft and alcohol ink. Love your work

[@Procrastipainter]

I know what you mean - international shipping is a killer! Hey if Castin craft and alcohol ink is working for you, stick with it. If it ain't broke and all that

[@SPS_survivor]

Hi there - great video that I’ve watched countless times before. Can I just ask you or anyone else’s advice - do you go back over the waves with more white resin to thicken up the front of the waves to make them more prominent? Thank you for anyones help in advance 👍🏼

[@Procrastipainter]

Sorry, only just saw your comment! You can totally do that to make a solid white wave front. Not if you want the cells though

[@SPS_survivor]

No, I just meant the very crest of the wave that gives it that 3D boost if you like. You kind of did it when I just rewatched it to tidy up the front of that last wave 👌🏼👍🏼🌊 - I’ve got some wooden panel art boards from Amazon, bought all the foliage, plaster and have created a seascape scene with my own rocks/cliff and trees right down to the small sandy beach. Where the trees (moss) meet the sand it reminds me of Cape Tribulation from one of my backpacking trips around Australia. It’s all inside the frame so its enclosed to hold the resin inside … just need to pluck up the courage to go for it with the ocean. I think I’ll keep it relatively calm with gentle waves but I’m going to start with about a 2mm layer of clear resin as a base. If (when) it works out would you like to see? Perhaps I could put my instagram name on here for you to judge 😉 I’m glad I’ve found something that I can lose myself in as I’m stuck in a lot due to a disability affecting my back and walking. I’m very thankful to people like you who take time to produce videos for us to learn. Thank you ❤

[@Procrastipainter]

That sounds very fun! And yes for sure I'd love to see it - I'm @magnetic_lizbiz if you only want to DM pics that's fine too

[@davidkeith1024]

This is spectacular! I'm new to resin and struggling with creating the cells. Do you make up the blue and white resins at the same time so they've both stood for 20 minutes before you add the white? Your white resin looks much thicker than mine, is that due to the amount of powder added? Is your heat gun at low temp? Sorry for the naive questions, just trying to understand. Any advice welcome! Thanks. David

[@Procrastipainter]

Hi David! Thanks for watching and for your kind words 🥰💙 Your questions are good! Yes I mix one batch of resin and separate to mix in colours. My resin is kinda thick to start with, but I wait for it to be about the consistency of cold honey before I lay down the white. This will likely be different for you (what resin are you using?) but you can do a test on some coasters to see when your particular resin will hold the cells. My heat gun is set to about 250-300C and high flow. All the best of luck and sorry for the very late reply!

[@potprincess8127]

so to get the cells you didn't have to spray alcohol? what did u do to actually create the cells? it turned out beautiful!

[@Procrastipainter]

Thank you 😁 No added anything (no silicone/alcohol/etc) just the titanium white pigment in the resin. The heat does the job. Be that heat from the heat gun or the torch.

[@DorisAtDFDesigns]

Great results ❤🎨🖌 I love multiple layered ocean pours in resin.

[@Procrastipainter]

Thank you! They're fun to do too 😊

[@hwaggoner]

how hot is your room when you do this? also, do you let the mixed white sit for 20 minutes too? or is the white a new mix when you lay it down? you get the white to move so far! It's amazing!

[@Procrastipainter]

I have my room about 20-23C. I mix one batch of resin and separate them for each colour. Thanks, the concentrator adaptor on the heat gun pushes it really well 😁

[@traceybroadfield4810]

Hi love how you do your lacing your work is beautiful, I’m struggling with my waves can I ask do you put your blue on then a layer of clear at the bottom of the blue leave for 20mins with the white thickening then apply the white at the bottom of the clear then blow it out

[@Procrastipainter]

Pretty much, yes. The time you wait depends on your resin brand. Most start to get like cold honey about 15 minutes before their started working time

😍 love ir. I have a question, why do You wait 20 mins. Berfor the white? Thanks 🙏

[@Procrastipainter]

I wait for the resin to thicken so it holds the cells instead of going all cloudy

[@denisemacotinsky8155]

@@Procrastipainter ohhh fantástic!!! I Will try ir thanks a Lot🤩❤️

[@Procrastipainter]

Good luck! You're wanting your resin to thicken like cold honey. Maybe wait till about 15-10 minutes before the end of your working time. So if your working time is 45 mins, wait 30-35 minutes after mixing A + B (I set a timer when I start mixing) before laying down your white

[@sandyshinno4050]

So beautiful. A question? Do you mix your white with resin and let it sit for 20 mins also. Your video was entertaining and informative. Thank you.

[@Procrastipainter]

Yes I mix all the colours at the beginning. The white stays already mixed in the cup until closer to the end of the cure time and it's thicker

[@SPS_survivor]

Procrastipainter - looking forward to trying this!

Good luck!

Do you mix up the white dye and then actually let it sit for 20 minutes before using it? Or is the rest of the piece 20 minutes old before you mix up the white pigment? Edit: I see you have already answered the question below. Thank you.

I din't get how you get bubble in wave ??

[@dilipchaudhary8994]

Hello dear sir/Madam, I like your video. I have some problem about to not perfact make ocean wave. I use Epoke Ultra white colour kit for ocean theme resin clock. When I complete set all colour whith resin and apply. Than I wll blended through use of Heat gun/hair Drayer/and Lighter.Than I apply bluck resin for border of beach/ between two colour and than I apply white to border of bulk resin. Than I use dryer to make wave but unfortunately after some time it mixing and not make cell like ocean white wave. What to do???

[@Procrastipainter]

Without seeing what you're doing I can't really help. My first guess would be that if you say it's mixing that it's not set enough yet. Test it on something small (like a 10 cm square tile) until you get the effect you're trying for. Good luck!

[@comicmanga888]

Is it alchol ink colour with clear resin for transparent resin effect

[@Procrastipainter]

All pigments and resin used are in the description box of the video. I used titanium white pigment paste from Just Resin

[@Akankshahaihum]

Do we need to use silicon oil to make waves??

[@Procrastipainter]

I don't add any silicone at all. It's all about having a white paste that is heavy enough, and getting the right timing for the thickness (viscosity) of your resin right

[@comicmanga888]

Do we add sillicon oil to white mixture

[@Procrastipainter]

I don't add silicone. I mix part A and B as per instructions, then add the titanium white. No other additives

[@koolkid1234ism]

Is that just white paint you’re pouring or is it resin mixed with paint?

[@merycetasarmlar337]

What is the temperature of the gun??? Does the white pigment contain epoxy??

[@Procrastipainter]

My heat gun is on about half heat. The white pigment listed in the description box. The white wave part is only the titanium white pigment paste from Just Resin and DiamondCote resin. Nothing else

It helps to keep the cells where they form and not go all blurry/move about

[@MylesGabriel]

You have mastered the cell technique... I'm trying REALLY hard to get it... Sometimes it works, other times it's a cloud. When you use your heat gun, how hot do you get it? Does the heat play into the formation of the cells? Also, your white pigment...you mix with clear resin, yes? I've tried several things, from white mica powder to spray paint to cheap acrylic. I just bought some titanium white paint in a tube that's really thick compared to the cheap white paint in a plastic bottle. I'm in america, so I can't get the brand you have, but I'm wondering if your pigment is the same as what I just picked up. I have yet to try, but I hope it makes a difference for me. Cells are the one thing I can't seem to lock down...it's either hit or miss with me. They either look super awesome, or...I wanna sand it down and start over. Anyway, love your videos, I've watched a lot of them. I cannot believe you only have 731 subs. Your videos are great! Thank you for sharing!

[@Procrastipainter]

Thank you but I get clouds too! More so when it's not thick enough or I double-heat a section (try only one pass of the heat gun). You might be able to torch it and get some cells but a lot of the time it has mixed too much during the heating. My heat gun is on about half heat (prob around 250-300C). And yes I mix the titanium white pigment paste with the resin - no more than 10% pigment to resin. I found that I couldn't get enough pigment in for cells when using acrylic paint as the resin turned to hot toffee! You can get Just Resin products directly from their international website or through the American distributor artisttilldeath . com. I know other people get cells with Castin Craft and Mermaid Trash if that helps? Good luck! Thank you for watching and for your support!

[@MylesGabriel]

@@Procrastipainter Thank you for your reply. I'm going to look for the products you recommend. Have you heard of Mermaid Foam? I saw something the other day about it. I've never heard of Mermaid Trash. I'm going to see if I can find the white pigment paste. I wish I could show you some of my work. The water and sand look great, but my waves need work. I think if I can get the cells down, my work will be on the next level. Do they make pigment pastes in other colors? Would be cool to do nebula space themes with other colors. Anyway, you're the best...thank you again

[@MylesGabriel]

@@Procrastipainter oops....I must've misunderstood... I think you're right, Mermaid Trash, not Foam. I'm looking at it right now. Thank you again

[@Procrastipainter]

@@MylesGabriel I'm glad you found it. Yes there are heaps of different colours in the pigment pastes! Artist Till Death stock a few different lines - they're a one-stop-shop for resin supplies. Good luck!

@@Procrastipainter my Mermaid Trash pigments came in. I picked up two whites, the foam and the lace, and I picked up about 6 other colors. And I bought a new heat gun with digital controls. I'm about to try everything. I'll let you know how it goes... Thank you for your advice! I'm super excited!

[@pouliflycreations4876]

is it so important to wait 20 minutes before pouring the white pigment?

Waiting means the resin is thicker, cells will hold better and be less cloudy/ blurry

[@prisrocksme]

Did you prep your wood in anyway before you poured your resin?

[@Procrastipainter]

This piece was a wood-look placemat. I just spray painted it with flat black

[@prisrocksme]

@@Procrastipainter Oh ok what about a cutting board would you need to prep that wood? Or just use it as it comes? By the way it came out beautiful! 🥰

[@Procrastipainter]

Awesome! So a cutting board depends what you're putting on top. If you seal it properly, you shouldn't have bubbles come through. But if you heat it too much it will probably melt the seal coat. Just tape off where you plan to stop the resin before you start the seal coats

[@prisrocksme]

@@Procrastipainter thank you so much for the tips! Love you work 💙

[@Procrastipainter]
