IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please ALWAYS use resin with proper precautions including wearing proper PPEs (glove, mask, respirator etc) AND working in a well ventilated space. I recommend getting a hold of the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) info that every resin company has available to the public (by law). This has all the info about the resin you are using including the precautions you need to take and first aid care. Watch my resin safety video for more info: • RESIN SAFETY | Importa...
Supplies I used were purchased from many places including my local craft stores, Etsy, Ebay, Amazon, Sophie&Toffee, Miniature Sweets, and Aliexpress. I'm sorry, I can longer link everything I used in this video.

Why do I use two different types of resin in my projects?
I use a casting resin to cast and a doming resin for doming.
Casting resin is usually low in viscosity and works very well in molds without much issue with the bubbles. Also the low viscosity will allow the resin to reach detailed area of the mold. Doming resin is thick in viscosity and holds its shape very nicely. It creates a full dome and tends to hold the surface tension much better than low viscosity resin. So lower risk of the resin dripping off the sides. It also gives the piece a smooth, flawless finish.

[@putrijohar6443]

love all your tutorials~ but can i ask if I don't have heat gun or something like that, can I use a hairdryer instead? hehe

[@AmyMade]

Thank you!💕hair dryer can work for a certain point. It’s not the best though because the air flow is too wide. Heat gun has a narrow heat flow so it’s easier to direct the heat to the bubbles

[@princesasion28]

Wooooow super hermoso me encanta 😍

[@cristinalopez4336]

So beautiful. Thank you :)

[@maniac_am]

I have a good question: What size are the beads to put on the shaker charm?

[@QuynhNguyen-xn5gu]

This is so cute!! Can you share links to where you purchased UV flashlight and UB lamp? I see you used both in your other videos.

[@AmyMade]

I got it from Amazon. Whichever with the highest review lol

[@QuynhNguyen-xn5gu]

@@AmyMade Thanks for the reply. I’ll check Amazon. Your resin art are so beautiful! Your videos have great detail instructions which is great for a beginner like me!

[@micklpickl9936]

What brand of resin do you use/is your favorite, and where do you buy them??? I'm new to this so I'm confused because I also see many different types of resin? Also so far I really like your video and I'm planning to view your past videos, good job!!

[@AmyMade]

Thanks! The one I’m using right now is in the description box. Pbb not the best for beginners. If you’re starting out, I’d go with any 1 to 1 ration resin designed for both coating and casting.

[@micklpickl9936]

@@AmyMade so like the Art n Glow resin you reviewed before on amazon?

[@AmyMade]

I’d recommend Unicone art resin for beginners

[@ashleyaust5190]

i watched one of your shaker videos where you showed different things for the liquids inside. Do you have a video showing what the others look like than just the baby oil?

[@AmyMade]

No I don’t. The other liquids are just more “watery” and the inclusions move faster than baby oil. Most makers prefer baby oil because it’s 1. Cheap and 2. Inclusions move slower. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Erika-uc8vn]

Hermoso! Que tipo de pintura se usa para los detalles?

[@cumarionallen776]

Can you do a video on how u package your keychains

[@Craftergirl]

Adorable

adorable!!!!

*ADORABLE*

[@-kohakuma-]

Sorry to ask, but I'd there a formula for determining the scaled size after you heat your shrink plastic? Or is it something you learned from experience? Thanks!

[@AmyMade]

Yes! all that is explained in the shrink plastic 101 video!👍🏻

[@kirbysy7949]

i have this mold but fails when i try to put the baby oil. what do u use?

[@kellytaylor7041]

Instead of using a heat gun of torch could I use a blowdryer??

[@AmyMade]

You can…although you might run the risk of blowing the resin off. Since the air flow is not small and concentrated like the heat gun

[@eskaposaglit7995]

hello can you do a rejico resin review?

[@yonyon5432]

Can I use a hair dryer instead of a heat gun?

[@AmyMade]

It won’t work as well as a heat gun because the air flow is not concentrated in a small area. But you can try; make sure to use it in low setting.

[@yonyon5432]

@@AmyMade thank you! I also wanted to ask which brands of UV and epoxy resin do you use/which brands would you recommend (preferably on the cheaper side)

[@screi9]

Hello 👋 did you use a hand held sander to make the eyes before painting them? 😊

[@AmyMade]

I used a sand paper

[@screi9]

Thank you! 😊

[@danibae238]

Is UV resin as dangerous as casting resin in terms of safety precautions? Super cute Pikachu shaker btw

[@AmyMade]

No. But you should still work in a well ventilated area and wear gloves

You can purchase one on Amazon, aliexpress and Etsy to name a few

What is the gauge size of your screw eye pins? If it’s too thick, it may crack the resin piece

Under the video

[@biancaperalta8009]

What is the triple thick spray for? What was it used for?

[@AmyMade]

To help resin stick to the plastic

[@biancaperalta8009]

I thought you use the uv resin for the plastic to stick to the mold and use the uv light too?

[@AmyMade]

@@biancaperalta8009 UV resin or any resin does not adhere well to shrink plastic. It will peel off if you don't prep the surface with another medium such as the acrylic spray

[@biancaperalta8009]

@@AmyMade Oohhh I see thank you that really helps 😁

[@yveshoe9412]

i have a question,, why is my uv resin still so sticky even after using a uv lamp to cure it?

[@AmyMade]

Either, the light source is not strong enough, you're not leaving it to cure long enough or both!

could u use uv resin 4the whole thing??

Of course!

[@YoBoyken123]

Also sorry for so many questions, but can i use regular acrylic paint, instead of pasca markers? Also where do you know anywhere that sells two part clear resin affordably? I find lots of the amazon ones to be pretty expensive with lots of bad reviews.

[@YoBoyken123]

Oh sorry i rewatched it and got cleared up on the regular paint question, thankyou and sorry about that.

[@AmyMade]

@@YoBoyken123 well…”affordable” price is very subjective. To me, I find Amazon carries many affordable 2 part resins.

[@craftingcollection3080]

Can you sell this or it is copyright from the original pikachu creator?

[@AmyMade]

Technically, it’s would still be a copyright infringement

[@craftingcollection3080]

@@AmyMade Yeah, I see tons of others people doing so as well, so do they pay for the copyright to sell them? Could you please make a video about this? It would be interesting and educational since there are many artists watching your channel.

[@AmyMade]

I think many people are aware but still do it anyways because licensed characters sell the most. And big companies usually don’t go after small creators so they do get away with it. However, there were many instances where Disney and Sanrio came after sellers on Etsy.

[@craftingcollection3080]

@@AmyMade You are right. Etsy seems to be floated with copyright fan art that they sell. Confusing thing because also can see tons of people on Instagram selling Starbucks cup with their own design on it, do they all get authorization to do so?

[@AmyMade]

I think with the Starbucks cups, it’s different because you’ve purchased the cup from them and reselling it. Whereas, If you took their logo design and slapped it on a cup you purchased elsewhere, it’s copyright infringement.

I loveeee it! Btw where did u get the drill? I also just started resin, you can check it out on my yt channel (its not very good though).
