Your projects are super cool :) ( Sorry if that sounds weird, I couldn’t think of a better way to phrase it)

Thank you, that was a really nice comment 😎♠

[@anneargo-davies692]

@@franceswildgen1907 I agree with you!

[@moriahnash4981]

Do you ever have problems with things deteriorating once in resin? I’ve thought of doing a few but wasn’t sure how they would last long term?

[@resinAce]

@Moriah Nash Anything containing moisture will deteriorate over time. For example: fresh flowers, candy, fruit (even dried fruit still contains some moisture). Anything completely dry should last very well, as resin is a very effective encapsulant.

[@mookzmom]

It is nice to be reminded of how many great resources for crafting can be had in items we’d normally throw out. You’ve done an outstanding job with these cans! I get so much joy from your channel! Thank you!

Great stuff! Could you point me in the direction of where I can get those cutting machines please?

[@resinAce]

Thank you 😊 It is called a 'Sizzix Big Shot' and I bought it from a High Street store here in the UK called Hobbycraft, but it is also available online from retailers such as Amazon. Any craft store that sells paper crafts will stock them. There are other brands available, try searching 'die cutting machine' and you will find them.

[@danielechieli5057]

Fantastic!!! What is the machine at 13:18? Is it a manual laminator? And at 0:55 what kind of machine is this? Where i can buy all? Thanks :)

[@resinAce]

Thank you! The machine is called a Sizzix Big Shot die cutting machine, but there are other brands available. The punch is by XCut, but any metal punch should work. They are stocked in the UK at Hobbycraft and The Range, but I don't know about anywhere else. Any good craft store that sells papercraft supplies should stock them or something similar.

[@amberlindsey7112]

This is awesome! I didn't know that those dies would cut aluminum. Time to break out my scrapbooking supplies for more uses! Can I just give a quick tip? Turn your die cutting mat over each time you use it. It won't bow like it is of you do. You can your it now and use it until it flattens then just turn it every time after that.

[@resinAce]

Thanks for the tip 😊👍 Yes they cut thin aluminium like soda cans. They also leave a nice finish on the edge, so the pieces aren't sharp and take on a more three-dimensional appearance 😎♠

[@oneoflokis]

Thanks also for the UK Amazon links!! 🙂🙂👍👍 Have not practised resin craft in quite a while; was wondering what were the best supplies to buy and where to buy them!! Does one still have to combine a resin and a hardener with this craft??

[@rebeccaklein442]

I've noticed in a lot of your videos that sometimes you use UV resin instead of epoxy. In what cases is one preferable to the other?

[@resinAce]

Hi 😊 I tend to use UV resin as an adhesive, and when I need to cure it instantly. There's no reason why you couldn't use it for making the cabochons in this video, but where I live UV resin is £82.50 per Kg, while my epoxy resin is only £25 per Kg, so UV is an expensive alternative. 😎♠

[@Frank.B.Crafts]

What was the silicone mold with the hearts you used? I have been looking for one like that for months.

[@resinAce]

It is a cabochon mould off Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/Jeteven-Silicon-Cabochon-Stencils-Handmade/dp/B073S4HQ9S It is a brilliant high quality mould, with every size to match common jewellery bezels.

[@PaullaWells]

You are very clever. The tray was my favorite. Side note: You made what you called mats. Interestingly in the US they are called coasters.

[@resinAce]

Thank you😎 We call them coasters too but in pubs they're called beer mats, so since I was using beer cans I called them beer mats 😊 Incidentally, according to my international viewers, Google often translates coaster to roller coaster in their language 🤣♠

There is no law against upcycling tin cans for personal use. If you were selling them commercially for profit then it may be an issue. The flame will pop any air bubbles that have risen to the surface.

[@resinAce]

Hi, thank you 😊 It's called a pipette and I buy them from Amazon in packs of 100. You can squeeze out the excess resin after use, then let any residual cure before using them again. Sometimes you have to snip the end off if it gets blocked.
