Thank you so much for this tutorial, your work is beautiful. I would love to subscribe, but being a pensioner cannot afford. Thus your tutorials are a life saver.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Irene :)

[@mookzmom]

I think you've got the right attitude with not wanting to count the drops. I believe every resin type and every pigment type and even pigments of the same brand but different colors are going to all act differently. Sometimes it just comes down to what feels and looks right to the artist. Excellent work, dear sir!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Pam, yes, exactly why I didn't want to over complicate it. As you said, there are many elements to this and the best way is to work visually for me. Thanks for the awesome comment Pam 😊😊

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Re-watching this one, too. I am staggered that I forgot/failed to mention your collaboration with Luna! I'm so sorry, Luna! My brain doesn't always work the way I'd like, and I forget things quite easily, especially when writing or texting. 😩 Daniel, I found her channel a bit before yours, but she had already stopped making her videos...a huge disappointment for us, her viewers! I am *always* a "day late & a dollar short" compared to most folks. 🙄 I *finally* placed an order with Armor Art using your code! Woo-HOO! The int'l shipping is horrendous, but hey...these should last me a good, long while! At last, I will be able to do this experiment. 😊

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

P.S. I do *NOT* understand viewers not subscribing! Makes no sense to me. 😠

[@daniel..cooper]

Me neither lol, yes, Armor art will last such a long time, i'm still on my origional bottles from when I 1st started resin :)

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

A mere 11 months after you posted this, but I am still working my way backwards through your posts, Dan! 😊These are just lovely! The ones without the white had a good petri effect and loads of feathering! I loved the first big oval you pulled out! ❤ It seems like the ones with white had strong Petri effects and no feathering? That last heart you pulled was the one you swirled last and I noticed no blobbing except on the sides (can't think how that could be avoided!), just perfect petri effects all over! So...should one wait a few extra minutes to swirl , or...swirl sooner to possibly prevent/disturb the side-blobbing? Hmmmm. If I had opaque pigments, I would definitely try this out! This tutorial is wonderful, Dan! Thank you so much for your patience in making it! 😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks 😊, play around with timings, times can change the effects a little 😊😊

I’m beginning to think that if you had a bowl of porridge and squeezed fairy liquid into it, you would still make something beautiful!

Wow! Beautiful! Question. When I go to swirl my resin it has a skin on top and I keep getting blobs of white. So frustrating! Help. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent with us.

[@daniel..cooper]

New video coming within the hour which will help 😊

[@rebeccaharden6018]

I love them all. But I really love the big ovals

[@healingart232]

Daniel maybe u could try adding a lot of alcohol to the resin main cup before u split it into cups. It might save u a lot of time instead of adding alcohol to every cup separately 🤔😉

[@daniel..cooper]

You could try but some need less or more alcohol depending on the pigment colour. I find pure needs more than yellow for example.

[@kristanerikson-oswald4748]

So beautiful!! You mentioned top coating, how do you do that with these? I’ve had trouble.

[@daniel..cooper]

I have many tutorials up my sleeve 😊😊. That will be one I cover soon 😊

[@Vampiriquedezire13]

This was a great tute Daniel, thank you :) But what would happen if you were to drag out the ink by using isp directly on it once you have poured it rather than mixing it in?

[@daniel..cooper]

Hi Penny, thank you 😊. I think the pigment would still sink as it needs to be kept at the surface. If you drop the pigment in on its own, you will see it sink fast so the alcohol would be able to mix fully to keep it afloat. Great question though 😊🙏

[@sharonmelanson5140]

What were you looking for that made you change resins? Were you going for a thin viscosity, or thick? Were you wanting a longer cure time? The products you have in the UK are not always available elsewhere so if I understand the characteristics of the resin I may be able to find a suitable substitute that is available to me.

[@daniel..cooper]

I definitely needed a lower viscosity resin. I attempted with medium, the effects were still good but not quite a good enough result for a collab with Luna Designs 😊😊

[@NuitariThakhisis]

This is far more than 10% pigment and additives in resin. How does that impact the hardening and properties of the finished product? Great video, your work is amazing!!!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks, zero difference at all 😊. All set solid 😊

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Actually, total pigment volume is far LESS than 10%. 😊

[@Gonzalez22222]

Entropy Resin’s casting epoxy is very low viscosity. It also has a very slow cure time. It’s supposed to be 24 hour to tack free at 77 degrees. I have been finding it is usually longer. How long depends on whether you are using the fast or slow hardener. I’d you look at the tech specs on their website: pot time for the fast hardener is 90 minutes and 360 minutes (yes, six hours) for the slow hardener. They advise the fast hardener for thin items and the slow hardener for thicker castings. The tack free time is 24 hours (longer in my experience) and full cure is a week.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Patricia, I used a heat mat so it totally confused the specs. This tutorial was poured and demoulded in around 9hrs, I just misjudged the timing using my heat mat. Lesson learnt 😂

[@sandrasteven8718]

Absolutely love these. I have tried half a dozen times now to get this technique right and for the life of me I just can get the feathering no matter how much or how little alcohol I add in. I did get the ring effect but then it just ends up as flat colour much as yours did in the one you called a ribbon effect. What would cause this? Would it be the resin? So keen to do this right so any advice would be appreciated.

[@daniel..cooper]

Hi Sandra, maybe you need a little more of the white pigment to make it sink a little more?

[@lrr9784]

I love the idea of using pigment paste! Did I miss the part where you said how much alcohol you added to each color cup?

[@daniel..cooper]

Yes, it should all be mentioned 😊. If not, it will be in the other video 😊

[@pennydias9586]

Could you please tell us what you do with all your defected and surplus demoulds would be interesting to have some ideas thank you.

[@cristina5984]

I love them, just a question, how do you clean the pippettes, ok, with alchol, but how?

[@daniel..cooper]

I use a small amount in a cup, keep squeezing/shaking and have a soapy cup of water to rinse after 😊

Hey Daniel. The art armor pigment pastes are currently sold out in the US. have you tried any other brands you like? Or should I hold off until art armor is back in stock?

Any should work but the mixing of the ingredients will change to get the effect, once you master the mix, be sure to write it down :)

I know this is almost a year ago, but could you do a video on how you finish the back of the pieces? And would you have the same effect with paints as the alcohol inks?...Thanks! T4S! :-)

[@daniel..cooper]

Easily answered, uv resin is a very quick and easy way to flatten the pieces off 😊

[@monkey_sox5432]

Also bear in mind that the alcohol will evaporate really quickly so you might need to add extra to account for that.
