resinAce could you please do something with skulls?! I especially love sugar skulls and have absolutely no luck making my own moulds. You could do an amazing light up skull / night light skull? Keep being awesome ❤️ 🇨🇦

[@lisakoehler8502]

That could make a cool night light

[@HeavenlyImaginings]

I have become addicted to your unique way of working with resin. These are just stunning

[@resinAce]

Thanks for watching, I appreciate it 😎♠

[@beccamarie08]

This would look amazing incorporated into some sort of light fixture such as a lamp or another item that involves lighting from the bottom.

[@EddVCR]

Wow, I it had never occurred to me that metallic pigments can be used in that way. Mesmerizing! The last one was my favorite!

[@alo42d]

Those would make great coasters

[@Beachdragon99]

The world’s tiniest most adorable measuring spoon.

[@GenericMcName]

You need to use more pigment for the next batch! Imagine how cool it'll look almost fully opaque!

[@resinAce]

I will be doing more experiments with this powder 😎♠

[@melissaa.bernstein910]

I've used these powders on my nails, but never thought about how they could be used with resin. This is brilliant and the results are all so cool!

[@sailthemarigold_7864]

Fun fact! The cat’s eye effect is called “chatoyance” in the Gemmology (Study of gems and minerals for jewelry) world. Also, these are really pretty.

[@chadvoller]

Chatoyance is also used in the wood working community. You'll see it often in wood turned pieces.

[@sailthemarigold_7864]

Chad Voller That’s neat!

[@mooncrafternailsandmore7907]

Like with fingernail polish you can tint the resin first, translucent is best, then add the 3D cats eye powders. You'll have a beautiful background to highlight the metallic effects.

[@buffy6919]

And I thought there was nothing new under the sun. What a fascinating technique!

[@resinAce]

I will always find new things to show you 😁♠

[@MakerCuisine]

Such a unique and cool way to use the pigment powder, I didn't know magnets would react like that with resin, so very cool

[@AirashiiTiayou]

If you had small enough magnets or a large enough tray, you could actually spell out stuff with the magnets. That would be really cool.

[@Ron-Ayres]

I have some teeny-tiny strong magnets - they're about 3mm across, so this could definitely work! 😄

[@Ron-Ayres]

These really come to life with the strong light on them! Magical... ♠

[@karulach]

Wow. It is so amazing to watch how dye is reacting with magmets. Great idea but very long period to wait for this video. Keep going man.

[@resinAce]

Yes it's been too long. I launched my Potion Bottle Dice game in my Etsy store and you guys ordered over 500 dice within 2 weeks 😱 I have been working non-stop to make them all! ♠

[@JerryBWagoner]

Great video. I had no idea magnets could be used like this. I also enjoy the sound effects when you torch bubbles...way more than I should. :)

[@d4rkknight17]

I do enjoy the humor sir; keep it coming. The creativity is top notch, execution is great.

[@tracybowling97]

Oh you! You and your jokes. They always make me 😃. Also it would be neat to make your initials in the resin using the resin. Just an idea.

[@kariserbousek1796]

Absolutely love your videos. This was actually very relaxing and mesmerizing.

[@rivqyahscraftcorner]

YOU are giving me IDEAS resinAce oooooooooooh my word those are beautiful and wow what I can do with coasters.

[@josiealbright6359]

I was just looking at my magnetic nail polish literally yesterday and wondering if anyone had used magnetic pigments in resin! And then this video pops up - of course you did. I love the patterns you used! (and your puns) 😁

[@ritazwanink5069]

Im a nail tech and I was thinking use my cat eye polishes. Once resin set, pop under the uv light, get gel polish to cure. And do black base.

[@ohlacoquette]

Ohhhhhh effets très intéressants et magnifiques résultats. Bravo j’adore ! Je partage bien sûr. Merci 🤗

[@resinAce]

Merci 😁♠

[@foxifydiy1367]

Great Job man, you have an amazing talent. Keep it up Ace!

[@shelleebeans4840]

I love this idea. Also I needed your jokes and bubble killing madness after a tough day at work, it really brightens my day when I get to watch your videos. Keep doing what you do and being you💖

[@13579_dg]

I bet a 3 dimensional cube with a bright glow in the dark sphere at the center with some of these as the 6 sides would be awesome.

[@youngfellafairdinkum9407]

You never cease to amaze me with all the different ideas you come up with. Yet another splash of brilliance. Where do your ideas come from, do they wake you up in the middle of the night. OH YEAH ,when is your joke book being released ??? 1st copy thanks.

[@resinAce]

Thank you 😁 Everything I see I think 'how can I use that in resin'. The world is not ready for a whole book of my jokes 🤣♠

[@isabellabinion313]

I came for the resin, I stayed for the jokes.

[@BellaNoche7025]

Just magic, always having fun watching your videos. 😍😍😍

[@MadiW2000]

consistently impressed with your ingenuity and creativity when working with resin

[@pamcarr4003]

These rely came out nice! I love :O w they take the shape of the magnets! Great idea Ace, and as usual another fantastic video! Thank Ace! 👏👏👏👏😋💜😄 Pam

[@Luxinda]

Those are gorgeous, especially when lit at the end! 🤩 I was a little concerned in the beginning with all the tutorial information that there might not be any jokes... silly me! 🙄😁

[@resinAce]

Thank you, I always sneak a couple in somewhere 🤣♠

[@aprilrichards762]

I love the colour effects. I need those measuring spoons for use with my great-grandma's cook book. How much is a tea cup? The line one looks almost like a St. Brigid's cross.

[@traceyms1971]

I learn something new every time you put out a new video, thanks!

[@tabathaschell875]

You are a genius!!! I love these ideas.. Thank you for sharing them with us ❤❤❤

[@LovingJo]

Am I the first one to like this video? 🤔 Either way, I wasn't quite sure on the results were at first, because after they dried, I thought the star dust glitter had totally retracted, but at the end was please to see the results and thought that it was probably just the angle/light of the camera at the stage of reveal. I would love to start using the same in resin along with semi precious gem stones.. I just need more room to start.. You were one of the first people that I started watching, so you gave me the inspiration to want to start using resin 😊👍🥰

[@resinAce]

The magnetic pigment creates an interesting phenomenon where it changes from a yellow/brown to dazzling metallic colour depending on the angle of the light. It was very difficult to capture on video, especially with my lighting setup.

[@BRUXXUS]

Your videos always make me so happy! 😁 It's interesting to see how the magnets pull out that yellow/brown color from the pigment. I'm guessing this stuff is made similar to how ferrofluid is made, but enveloping iron nanoparticles. Instead of coating them with oil, they're enveloped in a reflective colorful coating. I think the yellow/brown is just tiny particles of the iron/iron oxide that hasn't fully been coated with the color. 🤔 I actually think it looks pretty cool! Reminds me of the dust clouds around nebula and galaxies with millions of stars all around.

[@resinAce]

The yellowish brown pigment also shimmers but only when the light hits it from a very wide angle. The coloured shimmer is produced when the light hits it from the front. It's an interesting effect that I would like to experiment with some more.

[@catrinafairlady8404]

Simply magnificent!

[@alestahel]

amazing ideas! the little flower is my favorite

[@wendyhicks5685]

Such a tidy and organised worker.👏 ...put many to shame!😂🤣

[@resinAce]

Only the parts you see on camera are tidy and organised 🤣♠

[@melissaphillis7247]

That was the most entertaining video I've seen in a long while! Great jokes, excellent art

[@kennethyoung141]

Love this kind of out of the box thinking

[@bean6371]

Oh wow very very cool. I love this technique.💜

[@sushmitalama1721]

I was actually watching the video in 2x speed and when you put the mould on top of the flower pattern and said witchcraft, I could stop laughing. One of the most unique ideas I have seen so far. I will surely try them, thank you 🤭

[@wakeup7279]

Genial los trabajos amigo, entiendo que el cartón debajo, es para que no se pegue mucho el imán a la silicona, así es ? Felicidades.

[@1991jdclark]

Love your creativity.

[@meetyounever6923]

What?????! This tis totally AMAZING!!! 😍

[@michelleritts6926]

Hi I love your videos! Can you give the sizes of the magnets? Also, do you have the designs that you put the magnets onto?

[@alisonmary1443]

Great idea, I watched someone use this powder on nails but you have given it a new and better life wowee!!! Only resinAce could conjure this up. I loved watching this especially after spending 10hrs using powders, I just love powders, now I will have to get these! Got to keep my stash up to date 😁

[@Kimhaas007]

WOW!!! TOO COOL!!!

[@chantalcross5737]

I LOVE this and the jokes, laughed out loud to the tiny spoons thing re smudge, tad etc and kaleidoscope joke! If youre not a dad, you should be because you've got the dad jokes down to a tee! Loving your work!

[@JamesManCave]

Talking of strange units of measurement, I would like to know how big exactly is a knob of butter? I think the very last one is my favourite! 👍

[@resinAce]

Perhaps it is relative to the size of the person 😁♠

[@4THECRAFT]

That was a very clever idea. Thank you mate 👍👍

[@resinAce]

Thanks for watching! 😁♠

[@amandahill7540]

These turned out super cool! Great experiment!

[@coloringwithd]

Wow this was really trippy. Definitely something different. It will be fun to see what you can make with them. Thank you for another fun video ♥♥♥

[@streuthify]

Mesmerizing just to watch them when they hit the magnets!! Awesome job mate!

[@resinAce]

Thank you 😁♠

[@davidmoon5184]

Absolutely amazing.

[@aoarashi3025]

That's a lovely effect😮❤❤ Edit: is it possible to use these with regular pigments? The possibilities are awesome!

[@resinAce]

Hi, this will only work with special Cats Eye powder.

[@aoarashi3025]

Thanks for replying, but that's not what I meant. If one adds regular mica powder pigment or alcohol ink to color the resin, as well as the cat's eye powder to make patterns with a magnet, would that still work? Also. Missed opportunity to make a cat or cat's eyes (like the glowing dragon eye) with the cat's eye pigments🐱

[@CrypticScott386]

Should work with any magnetic powder right? Cats eye isnt the only magnetic pigments

[@embyrr922]

I wonder if you could tape magnets to the outside of a spherical mold and get something with even more dimension to it. This stuff seems like it would be a lot of fun to get crazy experimenting with.

[@resinAce]

I am planning to try this with a cube. I may post the result to Instagram rather than make a video of it, I'm not sure yet.

[@stepscoun48]

Wonderful resin 3D effects.

[@rnttreed]

Wow! That is amazing!

[@lindahobbs5545]

Absolutely stunning!

[@StephanieLondon]

i was wondering why the resin all looked slightly yellowed where the cats eye didn't stay? the resin itself started out crystal clear and I think would have looked spectacular if it stayed crystal clear with the designs you made

[@resinAce]

The resin is clear but the cats eye powder looks yellow/brown unless the light is reflecting on it so it changes to a dazzling colour. It was difficult to demonstrate with my lighting and camera in a fixed position but all the yellow will shimmer and shine at the right angle.

[@StygianHalo]

Gorgeous!

[@kristenblack3930]

Super trippy! And Alexa is rather mean spirited, isn't she?

[@resinAce]

She gets it from me 🤣♠

[@kristenblack3930]

@@resinAce 🤔🤔🤔 probably. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JennifersJemz]

Do you know if this would work with these cats eye powders in regular mica powders? It would be cool to get a two-tone look in the coasters. Thanks for showing these. They are very cool. You are a resin magician. Happy Pouring!!

[@kittylouiselle7256]

I want them all......pretty please with cherries

[@tracymark9173]

Wow incredible

[@meaghanb9118]

First mold, my eyes ((👀))!!! These are very cool! So many options!! I have those measuring spoons, I love them! I have so many questions! How did you know the powder would react that way? Can you do thin layers, alternating colors and epoxy them together? Or could you do one thin layer, allow it to set, then rotate 90° and pour again? When you stacked the magnets for the kaleidoscope did you find they provided a stronger pull? Is it possible to first color the resin then add the powder? This is just great! I really enjoyed it! Gotta get over to Etsy!

[@resinAce]

Cats eye powder was developed for creating effects with magnets on fingernails, and it was videos of that process that inspired me to try the powder in epoxy resin. Yes you can do it in layers as long as your magnets are powerful enough to produce a magnetic field beyond the first layer (you could always suspend magnets over the top instead). Stacked magnets will produce a stronger pull until the stack is equal to the width of the magnet. After that it gets no stronger. You can try tinting the resin but I haven't tried it yet.

[@bubblemum]

Fascinating! Coooool!

I'd love to see how this works with a black base colour

[@resinAce]

I did the orgonite pyramid here kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4TEYqyKipt8gJY but I would like to re-visit that mould some day. The smidge is an official unit of measurement. Or if it's not it should be 🤣♠

@@resinAce ha its totally official to most of us x I will check it out xx might have already seen it but still ... heading there now x

[@mizzuzie3338]

I need to try that! I have plenty of powders from the same brand, some of them have to be magnetic too...

[@resinAce]

If not you can pick them up quite cheaply from Ali Express or eBay 😁♠

[@relaxwithressa3026]

Hey resinAce love these. But how about trying to make a peacocks tail next time with the magnets? That would be awesome!

[@elvirtagomez2247]

Thank you! I have a much better understanding on how to use magnetic powder.

[@digitaldarkroom07]

Do you leave them on the magnets until cured or take them off right away?

[@resinAce]

I left them until the resin had reached the gel stage

[@christinemarshall2740]

This is amazing! Where did you purchase the magnets?

[@samanthamccord2745]

Now I gotta try this. Did you leave them on the magnets for the full 24 to 48 hour cure?

[@resinAce]

Hi, you need to leave the magnets in place until the resin has started to gel up. Once it reaches that stage the pigment will be fixed in place.

[@samanthamccord2745]
