I have these mats for my reptiles, never thought of using them for my resin.

I've been using a seedling mat under my resin working area because my apartment is pretty chilly in the winter. Usually I use it in the initial phase just to reduce bubbles though.

I saw this on ToonPish’s channel, except it was a reptile mat. 😂 I have the newer Resiners curing machine and like it for small projects, coasters, etc. After seeing this I might get me a mat or 2😆

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Rebecca, I have been offered a few machines and heat pads but from experience with testing my own way, I turned them down, as mentioned, this was meant to me a warning video but wow, I was wrong! Machines keep the heat concealed, for petri, that is not ideal, with the pad, it's really does cure in the same time with little difference to the effects. I'm stunned! 😂🤣

Hi Daniel was hoping you could reckonmend what to place heatmat on thats safe. I noticed you used silicone mat is that safe to leave on all the time. Thanks you. You do brilliant work

[@radek6420]

Hi David , thank you so much for sharing your work ❤️ I'm wonder if durability of silicon molds would be affected by heat mats in the same way like with the resin cure machines 🤔

Great question! Love this! It would yes and I can't believe I forgot to spray my mould in this video! 😂😂😂

Thanks Debbie, yes, the highest setting as recommended in the manual 😊😊

[@susanlee7261]

Amazing as always. Just a quick query does speeding up the curing time with heat make the resin brittle??

[@daniel..cooper]

Hi Susan, no, this Will not make the rein brittle 😊😊

[@the.resintist]

As usual nothing but stunning work. Top man . But will say buying a heat mat for lizard's etc are cheaper and exactly the same product 😉👌❤️👌

[@daniel..cooper]

Maybe but with this one, it has been tested vigorously with resin/temps and safety. I'm not knowledgeable with reptile heat mats, only bulbs Mark.

[@samd7146]

Hi Daniel, thank you so much for your videos, I’m binge watching since last week! I have one question..does it matter what resin you use? I can’t find a video on it. I had a go yesterday and was very disappointed with the results..but think more isopropyl in my white will help after watching your video on spores or no spores 🙏🏼 but I’m thinking the resin might be an issue too 🤔. Thanks again for your time and expertise..it’s like meditation watching 😄💕🍀

Can the head mat be used in conjunction with the leveling table I wonder ???

Yay, have you put it to the test yet Leigh? 😊

[@leighwalker4348]

@@daniel..cooper I did, but I used the technique you did in #81, and ended up getting some blobs from the C-deeper. They were still pretty, but I'm not much for blobs. I will try the basic alcohol drop technique next, if I can find the time.... I'm supposed to be a semi-retired dental hygienist, but lately I've been working more than I did before I "cut back".....😒

😂😂😂 so sorry Michelle 😂

[@anmc-hc7xh]

so i got one of these and i'm working on my timing for stirring; it has been significantly reduced (read: i flashed cured a project...)! i'm wondering - have you tried the mat at a lower setting - for instance, only turning it half-way?

[@daniel..cooper]

I have done yes, all timings will change a lot 😊

[@leannewheeler4192]

Do you sell your finished products? They’re all so beautiful. Did you use any alcohol for these or strictly the resin?

[@daniel..cooper]

Hopefully I will sell again soon. No alcohol, just the alcohol already in the inks 😊

What kind of ink colors did you use and the white top coat?

Hi Rene, it's all in the video and description box underneath 😊😊😊

[@jessicaraelene5276]

When you use the alcohol inks and you make jewelry do you find any issue with the colors fading? I was watching another resin art creator and he was talking about that being why he doesn't like alcohol inks and I'm just curious in your experience if you've seen that happen.

[@daniel..cooper]

I have done lots of testing and had little to none over many weeks of exposure. I think I know the artist you are referring to, watch this space ;)

At least the mat is flat. I got mine for Christmas and it was rolled up

Hello from Mumbai, India. Love watching your videos-very informative and with extraordinary results. I cannot purchase the Lets Resin heat mat on Amazon here, so ordered one from Canada. This will be working on 110v so I will use a 220-110v converter. My question to you is, since both UK and India work on 220v how long can I keep the mat on for, because the converters available here say “not for long usage”. Do you keep your mat on for full 3 hrs or do you switch the electricity on/off periodically?? My mat’ll arrive in about 10 days so would like to start using, following your guidance and instructions. Would appreciate your reply. Sorry for the long winding message. Thanx.

? Low viscosity resin doesn’t work well using white sinker ink, as it pushes down too much? Love them…. I’d like to have seen one with mat & the other not using mat throughout curing process

Is the heating mat more or less a heating pad( like for back aches and pains)?

No, but I have used one like that, it just works slower than these.

Thanks! Good to know.

[@carolwalters6469]

I keep striking out when trying to swirl my resin, my ink either stays on top and sticky or sometimes on the bottom and sticky, or just doesn't look "clear" like your swirl patterns. I hope you, or another subscriber, can answer a few questions. Do you touch the bottom of the mold when stirring? I'm sure it's a combo of being new to resin, not waiting (or waiting too long) enough, maybe because I used a wooden toothpick?? Also, how are you not over 100k subscribers? I just found you tonight and binged a couple of videos and can't wait to watch more! ❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Carol, I only go down 1mm or so as you can scratch the mould, I used a toothpick to begin with. It's hard to advise without images.

[@carolwalters6469]

@@daniel..cooper thanks so much for replying! I think I get too anxious and swirl to soon or too distracted and forget until it's too late. I'm going to try to play around with it tomorrow and write my times down. I also got a thermometer to see if that helps at all. I thought I might have gotten the timing right the other day but unfolded my hearts and they look like blobs. 😢

[@Nirrrina]

I've been using a dotting tool with a small ball on the end so I don't damage the mold even if I do accidentally touch the bottom.

[@daniel..cooper]

Alcohol inks 😊

[@ZippedUpKitz]

I can’t decide if I want to get one of these mats or get one of the curing machines… which to be quite honest, I think those are nothing more than glorified dehydrators… I got chewed out for saying that on another channel about how to me they looked like nothing more than a food dehydrator and you can get them a heck of a Lot cheaper without the annoying raised up circle in the middle of them… it was taken as being hateful when I just compared the food dehydrator to the resin curing machine… it really irked me how I was treated for a simple opinion….

[@daniel..cooper]

The curing machines aren't good for petri, and yes, they are food dehumidifiers 😂

[@ram1brn]

FYI alcohol inks fade greatly over time 6 months to a year even when not in direct sunlight ,they really are not worth doing

[@daniel..cooper]

FYI not with my testing with these products, see previous videos 😊😊 I'm not saying they won't but these ingredients make the best cakes 😊😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Mine have been outside now for 4 months + with 7hrs per day during heat waves and little to no fading at all, brands make a huge difference alongside after care. No resin should be exposed to sunlight due to yellowing, the products I use, I have tested and have had great success 😊😊

[@ZippedUpKitz]

Not all alcohol inks are made the same… the Let's Resin Alcohol inks fade very very very little…. I had sun catchers hanging in my daughters bedroom window for several months… they face the west and get direct sun light for 12+ hours a day in the summer… 10+ hours in the spring and fall… hardly faded at all… those alcohol inks that fade really fast have more alcohol in them than pigment… more alcohol equals more fading… using a better brand of alcohol inks like LET'S RESIN will give you better results!!!! If you watch Daniel's videos about his experience with them, you will see he has had great experiences with the Let's Resin alcohol inks as well!!!!
