Can You Put Waterslides and Stickles into a Silicone Mold Before You Pour in Resin? Let's Try!

[@robinbarnes5104]

Wow! I love Steve McDonald too. He’s so authentic and enjoyable to watch!! And thanks for the new idea with waterslide!!

[@Luxinda]

Thank you! Yes, I love his adventurism and experimentation with putting all sorts of different things into resin to see what will happen.

[@robinhanff4248]

So so cute!! We have a red long haired Dachshund 😁

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!!

[@tonittewilson3854]

That’s cool. Never heard of stickles. I thought for sure the doggie was going to be stuck to the mold. I’m impressed. 😊❤️

[@Luxinda]

Thanks! Yes, it seems like the graphic from a waterslide or a tattoo would stay in the mold, but it's pretty amazing what resin will pick up and hold onto!

[@RaesTurquoiseTurtle]

Cute!!!! Your mold of that shape is way more substantial than the one I have! Very nice! I love when they say I talk too much 🤣

[@Luxinda]

Thanks! Yes, well, I either talk too much or I don't talk enough or something 😁 As you already know, it's hard to find a good balance.

[@labittie]

Omg! This gives so many options and ideas! This is the first video of yours I've seen, I think! Lol but you've already made a subscriber out of me! Thank you!!

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!!! Welcome to the channel 😁

Love it

This Was Amazing never knew you could put waterslide paper on a mold going to have to try this for Christmas ideas also You Do not talk to much your voice is so comforting and I looked at the description but didn’t see where you purchased the dog decal

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!! It turns out I actually didn’t purchase the dog decal. I went to google and did a search on “free png dachshund graphic” and kept scrolling till I found that one.

[@patgregorowicz1346]

Very cool. I’ll have to try this out. Thanks for sharing 😃

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!! 😊

Thanks again for a great show! Absolutely love you and your projects!

[@Luxinda]

Thank you very much!!

[@yvettewheeler9125]

Plasti dip makes all the difference. You can move it without tearing.

[@Luxinda]

Oh, it’s a lifesaver for me!! I tend to be so rough with my waterslides, especially full-wrap ones on tumblers, and Plastidip really does make all the difference.

[@ashleywest5599]

adorable tray!! sometime I put a bit of water under the area with a cotton swab before adding my waterslide and it gives it just enough lubricant to move around ... not sure if that would help with that type of mold but this is so cute so I definitely have to try!! great video thank you for sharing thus awesome idea!!!❤

[@Luxinda]

Thanks!

[@jenniferryan6073]

Love it! Thanks for sharing

[@Luxinda]

Thanks very much!

[@vonellevanzant237]

How cute! I know it I'll be well received! What are sticklers, by the way?

[@Luxinda]

Thanks!! Stickles are a specific brand of glitter glue from Tim Holtz Ranger. Here's a link: www.joggles.com/paint-dye-and-ink/ranger-stickles

[@vonellevanzant237]

@@Luxinda thank you! I had now idea what was going on. It turned out soooo cute, though, whatever it was. Thanks for the link. I may take a look. I made my first coaster last night. They're ok, but resin work takes some work.

[@Luxinda]

@@vonellevanzant237 yes, it can be fussy.

[@sagikerius]

Interesting! And no, you don't talk to much! Thank you for everything.

[@Luxinda]

😁 thank you!

[@jayb2130]

Luv it!.. did you seal the waterslide after printing?

[@Luxinda]

Thank you! Yes, I seal my waterslides with 2 layers of Rustoleum clear spray, then a 3rd layer of Plastidip Glossifier (but that’s just my personal preference).

[@Wickedkittin]

Cute! Could you use a clear gross or semi gloss spray to finish? Oh, and I tried your Tack-it method for glitter. Omgosh it works so well!!

[@Luxinda]

Thanks!! Yes, you definitely could use a spray varnish to finish the tray, probably 2 or 3 coats just to add some protection. I’m glad tack-it worked well!!

[@rayshandamathis8211]

Did u spray your waterslide with acrylic spray before you put it in water?

[@Luxinda]

Yes, I spray my waterslides with 2 layers of Rustoleum 2X gloss clear spray then a final layer of Plastidip Glossifier (found at Walmart, Home Depot, or here: amzn.to/3k32Svj )

[@karenhadden4980]

Do the edges of the water slide show if you don’t cover them with something?

[@Luxinda]

Not usually, but it is possible, and I don’t know of a sure-fire way to always prevent it. That’s why it’s advisable to trim the edges as close as possible to the graphic itself, which helps hide any potential telltale edge from showing.

[@brittanybarritt1923]

how did you prepare the waterslide? print and spray with acrylic?

[@Luxinda]

Yes, I printed it on an inkjet printer, then sprayed twice with Rustoleum 2X clear spray paint, then a third time with Plastidip Glossifier spray.

[@brittanybarritt1923]

@@Luxinda thank you!!

[@Luxinda]

@@brittanybarritt1923 sure thing!!

[@phyllisgast8357]

This is adorable but I must say never heard of "stickels"?

[@Luxinda]

Thanks!! It’s a brand of glitter glue. amzn.to/3DfaYsv

[@wtglb]

That is great, what a nice tray! I did have a success using a temporary tattoo in a resin piece, though it didn't involve a mold, just so many possibilities with these. Do I recall correctly that you have used the tattoos as well?

[@Luxinda]

Thanks!! Yes, I have 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXKwhZiOl7qietk

[@wtglb]

@@Luxinda Ah yes! I remember now, those were so pretty!!

[@diangallo]

I love when you do experimenting and I love stickles! If you could just tell me how to remove glitter from my face, I’d be happy. HA

[@Luxinda]

Thanks!! 😂 if I knew, I’d tell you and get it off mine too.

[@agilscot]

Did I miss where you found the image?

[@Luxinda]

It looks like I found it using a google search. Here’s a link clipart-library.com/clip-art/dachshund-clipart-silhouette-17.htm

[@mltbkr]

One thing that I'm not a fan of is when folks don't talk and speed the entire video...OMG I click right off. You're funny and I get my giggle on watching you do your thing Cindy's way!!! The tray is so very cute!

[@Luxinda]

Thanks!! I try to balance things out, but I don’t always succeed 🙄🤣

[@sherriejenkins6737]

Sqwigy-Wigey! Lo e me some Steve!!😍

[@Luxinda]

Right? I don't think I'll ever squeeze a silicone mold again without thinking of that phrase 😁😁

[@emeraldluxuries]

FYI - You don't talk too much. LOL I love all the information you give out. :)

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!! 😊
