#88. Resin - Fast Cure - 105 MINS CURE TIME! A Tutorial by Daniel Cooper

[@laurismith1087]

Dan, Happy New Year. I’m sorry to hear you’ve been struggling and am happy to hear you’re taking care of yourself. I hope it might help you to know that for me, your videos are uplifting, funny and were truly missed. Take care of you.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Lauri 😊 Will be posting more often again now 🥰

[@basementcreationsbyrhondat6995]

I’m there with you. I find taking care of widespread pain has helped my mental state. Know you are not alone and glad to hear you on the right road to health!

[@michellerainwaters3608]

Bless you. You are a superb person and teacher. We all love you!💕

[@katrinthorsdottir7514]

I love the colors you use, so beautiful! ❤❤❤ That first one you demolded is my favorite.

[@tinawheaton270]

Glad everything is ok. We forget that we need to take time for ourselves. Can't wait to see what you do this year, but don't forget to take time for yourself...

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Tina 😊 Happy new year 🎉

[@locoskullz4141]

Glad to see you back in action buddy 👍 I was really missing your creativeness

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

You're back, Daniel! Hurray! SO GLAD to "see" you again! I'm very sorry you are struggling with your mental health. That can be so debilitating, frustrating, and a right pain. It can also screw up enjoying your regular life. I'm not able to access Discord on my Kindle, so have been checking FB & YT every day. Wow, that resin is REALLY thick! Hope this works out for you. 👌

[@irenerhynes6732]

Hi Daniel I surely missed you, sorry to hear about your health, you take care and thank you so much for your tutorials.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Irene, I definitely will. Happy New Year 😊 ✨️

[@AwesomeIncidentals143]

Good day Daniel, I love hearing your laughter!…. Never apologize for taking care of you sir! We did miss you, but alas you didn’t disappoint with this video once again! Have a great day! Need anything just give a shout! I. may be in the states but I’m only a shout away!!! Love the colors on these!!! But your collab resin is the the bomb!!!! It never fails me !!!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊. Yes, the collab resin never disappoints me either 😊😊😊

[@LisaVornhagen]

Cool experiment with cool effects! I'm glad you're back. I've missed your videos. I'm sorry you've been struggling. I have issues in that area as well, so I understand. I hope this is a great year for you!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 Happy New year 🎉 😊

[@angelahutchinson9498]

So good to see you back Daniel, you were greatly missed. Good idea to take time out to get used to new meds, it can be very life disrupting changing over.

Thanks Angela, happy new year 🎉 😊

I feel that whole heartedly. You got this and you are so brave!

[@joelledeman166]

I'm sorry to hear about your struggle, Daniel! I definitely understand how when you're struggling with your mental health it is so hard to work up the motivation to do stuff, even if it's something you love! Just take care of yourself and take it easy, we'll be here😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Joelle 😊 🫂

[@debcirrincione1902]

Hi Daniel, Firstly I’m sorry to hear that you’ve struggling but as a seasoned Clinical Psychologist I very much applaud your tenacity and appreciate your candor about your mental health struggles. Especially since you influence so many your candor, as well as your obvious creativity, is helping many people. As you know I’ve been a supporter of yours since day one 👍. Okay, so for myself, I needed to put resin on hold for a bit also as I broke two feet. Fortunately due to telemedicine I didn’t have to abandon my patients. I am happy to report that I have been “back on my feet.” I was able to make a bunch of Christmas gifts using your collaborative resin and let’s resin alcohol inks with c deeper. I posted my lot of gifts on the let’s resin chat. Today I am following thru with your experiment: I made four sets of cabochons, I.e., Fast set resin on and off heat mat and collaborative resin on and off heat met. Looking forward to sharing my results 🥰 Deb

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Deb, ouch! So glad you are back on your feet and creating again, don't push yourself too hard, put those feet up as much as you can 😊. Awesome, please tag me in the results 😊😊😊x

[@deb9320]

So sorry I’m just getting back to you. I reviewed my results and would love to share them with you. What’s the best way to do that?

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Oh, it worked with the new resin! I'm noticing that the colors do seem to stay separated a bit better than with the collaboration resin. Interesting! And...no bubbles?! Way cool! That purple & blue one is gorgeous! Love all of them! TY for the demo, Dan! ❤😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks as always, yes, I didn't expect it to work in such a high viscosity resin 😂

[@bobswihart]

Been watching for a new video. So glad to see this one came out. Been really missing your videos. Glad you said that you are doing better and a great attitude to start a new year. Thank you for all your videos and all you do for your viewers.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Bob. Happy New Year 😊

[@ccapps9176]

Oh i loved that first one you had on the second mat! Ugh so gorgeous! 🥰 well done!

[@adelewis-higham643]

Love your videos, I suffer with bipolar disorder and have found your videos really helpful starting with resin. Well done, I know how hard it can be ❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you, glad they are helping 😊 Happy New Year 😊 ☺️

[@kekecatty]

Those are so beautiful!!! So glad you’re feeling better. I will be praying for you for a safe and blessed New Year, we will always be here for you!

Thanks you, happy new year 🎉 😊

[@brendataylor5928]

Glad you took some time to work on your mental health! Good on you for being honest about it I had depression for years and it’s a battle at times! It’s not shameful to have to take meds for your mental health! Love your videos! Love from NB Canada!

[@michelledetoth7503]

Hi Daniel, So happy to see you back but just remember, you are the most Important of all. Videos can wait as I know your subscribers want you to be well. We can also wait You matter. We all understand you too, have a life beyond the internet. So give yourself the time to relax and be you. No pressure. We're here because you are awesome and we love you. Keep being you and we will continue to support you! This video is great but I think I will stay with the collab resin For now I don't see much benefit to the Fast Curing version. But thank you for doing this experiment!! Take good care and enjoy this fantastic new year!! 🥰

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Michelle 🥰🥰🥰

[@ZippedUpKitz]

I am so happy to see you back up and running! You were very much missed!!!!! Hey, I got one of Let's Resin's mixers… it makes a world of difference in mixing the resin… it is so hard for me to mix resin by hand because of my rheumatoid arthritis… I found this mixer and it has helped soooo much… try it out!!!

[@daniel..cooper]

Awesome, I will ask to test one out 😊😊😊

[@ZippedUpKitz]

@@daniel..cooper oh that would be nice! I envy you being able to get products from them for free… I wish I could do that… I am on a fixed income because I am on SSDI… I would love to be able to go back to work but my spine is completely fused, I cannot drive and I have seizures … so, I would LOVE to get their products to test out! I got a nice monetary gift of $500 for Christmas and so I bought 2 of the Let's Resin 2 gallon kits for $256… they were on sale for $128 each… they are normally listed for $144 and their one gallon kits are $95… it would have cost me $380 if I would have had to buy 4 of their one gallon kits to get the 4 gallons of resin… I saved $124 buying 2 of their 2 gallon kits… I also just found out that I could have used one of the discount codes on Amazon for an additional 10% off that price… I thought those codes were just for the Let's Resin website :( …. Oh well, now I know…. I should have plenty of Resin to last me for a while… as long as I a. Not making anything that requires half a gallon of resin at a time lol….

[@kim99may]

I spent 9 months in a permanent state of anxiety due to a medication I was taking. Worst 9 months of my life. I reduced the medication and started e-bike riding and feel 90% better! It’s good to hear your voice again and the art is amazing too! ❤❤❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Wow, glad you worked out it was the meds! Thanks as always Kim 😊

Glad you're feeling better! Been looking forward to more videos 😁

Thanks Jo 😊

[@Helter-Skelterz]

I'm here for the resin inspiration, but thank you for talking so candidly about mental health. Didn't realise how much it mattered to me until I saw this video. Turns out you're inspirational in many ways, Dan. Look after you. By the way, if you're buying new molds, I'd love to know where to pick this one up :)

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks, I put the links in the description box under the video :)

Good to see you back. We all have mental health issue we have to sort out from time to time. Dont sweat it. Just glad your ok. 2023 will be a better year.

So true! Thank you 😊. Fingers 🤞. Happy New Year 😊

[@tomreeve7533]

Hello Diane, how are you doing today, happy new year

[@rawniemoon]

You are not alone in your struggles Dan. I haven't done much of anything in the past month myself. But I wanted to tell you that JDictions had a fantastic quick cure resin. It's also a 4 hr demold. Steve McDonald has a video on it and all of JDictions resins in fact. You should try some of their reasons. I do like Let's resin as well. And heat mats are awesome! I would love a curing machine, but the mat is working well for me! Thank you for all you share!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Holly. I will try their resin soon 😊😊

[@leighwalker4348]

Another great video. Think I'll just stick with your collab resin though. I struggle with anxiety and panic attacks. Getting the meds right is hard sometimes. And for me, the first med I took worked great for a few years, then we had to up the dose, another few years, up the dose etc. until we couldn't up the dose anymore. Then I had to switch to a different med. So far so good. Fingers crossed. For me and you! Glad you are taking care of yourself! And though we missed you, we all want you to be healthy and happy! Take care of you!

Thanks Leigh, yes, fingers 🤞. It's a nightmare how meds can change 😔

[@SylverZone]

Happy New Year Dan - glad you’re on the up again 😊 This was interesting to see. I’ve used the JDiction 4 hour resin and frankly don’t like it much. I’m sure the room temperature is a large part of it, but I find it hard to get rid of the bubbles and like you found - the viscosity can be hard to work with. Took over 8 hours to cure so no real advantage.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks, strange how there isn't much of a difference in timings. It must depend on depth a lot too.

Happy New Year you've got this 🙂

[@tomclevenger5668]

Welcome back, missed you.Hope you'll have a great year. Have you ever tried cymatics on your resins. I've been plying aound with it and I'm getting some interesting results with it. I place a piece of plexiglass over and old speakers and put different sounds threw them speakers using your method.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Tom, a friend mentioned this some time ago but haven't tried. Join my discord and share some images, I would be interested to see and try 😀

[@the.resintist]

Mate sorry to hear you have what I say is personal love that sometimes stops you from doing what you want when you need it most . I myself have the same love. I'm sure there are many that fear what we need to talk about more. In another side I use resin pro delux and its thick as . Aka high viscosity resin. I love it for Petri because I can warm it like you said mix pour and get into dripping alcohol inks ASAP and sinker straightaway. Wait a few mins maybe hit it with a long nose lighter then stir all ten twenty mins later max and get amazing results . As always great video great affects never distrust yourself. Just go with the flow of resin .. I highly recommend resinpro delux it's an amazing resin just not cheap also great for coating and canvas coating 😉. As always big hugs and love my Freind stay strong stay at it 😉🫶❤️👌👊💪🫵got this

Those really turned out well. I do like the ones that are not on the heat mat. I am actually afraid to try out the heat pad yet.

[@daniel..cooper]

Why afraid? They are awesome 😊😊😊😊

[@terribailey228]

@@daniel..cooper I haven't watched your video about them yet. You have mentioned it a couple of times though.

[@daniel..cooper]

They really speed things up 😊😊😊

[@terribailey228]

I might try one. It would be great to rush it along. Are they on your Amazon store front thingy? That's where I have been finding most of the things I need

[@the.resintist]

Also adding the black it will stay rubber like for a day if not longer why I wait and use acrylic paint instead and save my ink

[@the.resintist]

Just like to add with resinpro delux it sets from the bottom up so waiting for the stringy in the resin isn't always good as I've gone to stir and the whole thing moves together if I put my stirrer down into the resin why I only give it 10/20 mins max before stirring but that also can change with heat or amount or alcohol inks used . I think the alcohol on top can give you a deception of what's going on underneath. So my conclusion was stir earlier rather than later and it doesn't seem to effect the end result 🤷 . But one thing that's obvious the heat mat does effect the timings 😉👌🫶💪🫵👊👍
