#47- Elegant Gold And White Resin Geode On MDF Board- On A Budget!

Thank you to all of you who are new viewers and to everyone who follows me for helping me to reach 6000 subscribers! This is a longer video, so feel free to skip ahead to minute 16:30 if you want to see the resin pour without the full tutorial.
My Amazon Shop: www.amazon.com...
I wanted to see if I could create a resin geode with only two colors since most of my geodes are pretty wild and busy. I was going for simple and elegant. I am SO happy with how it turned out. And I found out that you can indeed use only two colors and still end up with your piece being wild and busy! Ha ha! But I do think that it turned out beautifully.
As always, I would love for you to follow me on Facebook and Instagram as "The Frugal Resinista." You can ask me questions and see what I am up to and what I have for sale. Thanks so much for watching!
This was my first piece on MDF board. I've heard some not so great things about it, but I think that the thickness that I purchased (3/4 in) combined with the primer/sealer seemed to keep it from warping at all.

Thank you 🌹🌹🌹

[@thefrugalresinista]

You're welcome 😊

[@lisarinehart6902]

When I remove the tape from my resin pieces, I use a heat gun to remove it. I don't heat it for long - just enough to soften the tape glue

[@thefrugalresinista]

Thanks for the tip! I do too but for some reason, this time it almost seemed like it made the tape stickier! I must have done something wrong.

[@thememorytraveler4978]

Goooooood job!!

[@aliabhat6663]

21:44 you talk about pealing the tape off of the MDF boards, thats what I use a heat gun for it takes it off like a breeze!

[@sondrahildreth8427]

When having trouble with tape, use your heat gun to warm the glue up and it will peel off much easier. 😉

[@thefrugalresinista]

That was the crazy part. I did and usually it works but it just made the tape a big sticky mess. Ick!

[@VictoriaThorntonArtist]

Yeah that's what I do too. If I have trouble, I also use my sharp blade/exacto knife and it usually pulls right up. Also, I use green Frog tape instead of the blue tape.

[@tetyanapopova3305]

Absolute masterpiece! So elegant, classy and modern! I really would love to try something in geo. Do you have detailed tutorials on basics for the beginners like myself?

[@thefrugalresinista]

Thank you so much! My video #35 is for beginners and talks you through all of the supplies and how to use them. There is a supply list in the comment section as well! Hope it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2eakqGOnZWDl5Y

Good that sealer is available here in 🇬🇧!

[@markwroe7]

I love watching you work and the beautiful end result. Lovely. Is there a resin substitute for my practice period. Resin is so expensive.

[@thefrugalresinista]

Thanks so much! I unfortunately don't know of an alternative. It's a bummer. You could look at a less expensive resin from Lowe's. You would just need really good ventilation or a respirator.

[@fentongal]

Beautiful! Love it!

[@bramblemac4471]

Fantastical..😮

[@Madnessmakes]

So beautiful!!!!!!! I never get bored watching you. I get so excited when you post a new video. What do you like working with better, canvas or mdf?

[@thefrugalresinista]

You are so nice! Thank you for watching again and again! I don't know what I like better yet. The wood is heavy and harder/bulkier to move around but the canvas really sags if you don't work hard to prevent it. I'm going to do some more wood and see how it goes.

[@st0klerz]

Beautiful!

[@lindanicodemus9306]

MDF board is awesome!! We use it all the time for countertops and backsplashes, trays etc... Your work is beautiful!! 😆💕 Oh as for the tape with the MDF... We have been using masking tape (it sticks to the MDF) and then electrical tape over that to give it more strength when you pull it off. Then if that fails... heat gun it 🤪😆

[@LADYQPID01]

I absolutely love your work... unfortunately in Australia we dont have the awesome and cheap art supply stores you guys have in the States so frugal isn't a word we can use here. However I am so inspired by your work. I fully intend to try and do something like this. Would you consider doing a black and white geode. My son and his partner have just decorated in these colors and I would love to see how you would put that color combo together before I mess it up. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us.

[@thefrugalresinista]

Black and white is a great idea. I'll add it to the list. Thanks for watching!

[@MonicaHernandez-de2yh]

I love your work, however I would like very much to see how you hung your pieces, can you show us how and what you use ? Thank you're awesome ❤

[@thefrugalresinista]

That's a great idea. I think that I felt a little in the dark with how to hang things when I first started. I'll add that piece to the next one!

[@whitezircon]

This is so beautiful wow!

Thank you!
