Do You Want To Improve Your Resin Jewelry - A Helpful Guide!

[@SquishyChameleon]

That leveling tip for pendant bezels.... why didn't I think of that! Thank you, Steve!

[@SylverZone]

Steve, do you have a video for polishing somewhere? I find I get so far with the wet and dry stuff but can never quite get the final shine! I’m missing something clearly! 😏

[@WillShepherd-b4f]

I made a bunch of pendants yesterday and today, using just the silicone mat on a tile, no tape. It went really well. Thanks for sharing your experience.🎉

[@maiaallman4635]

I love that heart with the stars and diamonds in it.

[@beverlyangry4767]

Hi Steve. Thankx a bunch for all of your videos. Just a little tip that won't allow the tape to stick to your gloves. Instead of cutting off the ends; just fold them both over onto themselves like you do to the roll. I've seen some people put a small piece of paper on the ends too. Then you can move the the items taped on it without getting stuck to the tape. After watching all of your experiments, I've stocked up on all kinds of stickers and other things to put in resin when I see them on sale. I have to say that I get so into your videos, that I get a little sad when they go off so quickly. I just can't get enough of your experiments with resin.

Love your jewelry! Absolutely enjoying all your videos...especially when you make me laugh! I always learn something each time I watch. How awesome that you share your creativity with us! 💙

Hi Steve, ideally love watching your videos, I am new to this resin ,messed up a few times but getting better

Hi Steve. I went on a marathon watching you videos but since I'm deaf I use the CC. You must be talking very fast cuz I find my self missing so much. I know this is a personal problem but I thought I'd mention it in case you have others that need the cc. /But to get to your videos. I love the way you explain things thoroughly. Keep up the good work and I'm goint to buy you a cup of coffee

Hello 🎉, I found your tutorials the best, because you explain how to make your projects and why you take the steps necessary for a good project.

[@raquelhernandez2307]

[@rachelcamm4990]

I bought a cheap reptile heat mat for my resin because of the temperature fluctuations where I live. Best investment ever! Really cheap to run and my resin cures consistently every time now! It has a thermostat too so the resin doesn't go into thermal shock by being too hot. Lovely video!

[@jacquelinebuckland51]

👏👏👏👏👏🙏😍Love your channel

[@DebiB62]

For the heart that wrinkled up a bit due to the temperature change, just sell it with a tag that says "Stone Cold Heart." 😁

[@lindamactavish6658]

Wha is damming tape (sp?)?

[@Ha_Ha_Charade_You_Are]

Lovely, one question, how do you get the residue from the tape off the back?

[@nancybackes111]

I am learning so much watching your tutorials! Thanks for all the experimenting you do. Just wondering if you have a way to clean up the pipettes so you can reuse them, or are they disposed of after use on a project? I assume they are not reusable, but thought I'd ask.

[@rockaholic4388]

How do you clean out the pipette? Or do you throw it out.

[@suewarnes9469]

Hi Steve, I need this tuition! Open pendants for me are quite daunting. 😬 I have even thought about painting nail latex around the pendant! 🤪 Thank you very much. 👍😊

[@roseguzman2159]

I’m thinking about trying to work with resin. Just curious do you have to wear a mask with the resin you use?

[@dawnklinter9949]

Can pebeo paints be used in resin?

[@almacasiano]

wonderful video Steve thank you for sharing, I have a question: about something a bit different.... have you ever tried making something with air dry clay and put it into the resin? I've been thinking about making a tray with an octopus in the resin with its tentacles both in resin and out sort of like handles for the tray, just wondered what your thoughts might be on that???

Hi Steve all the pieces you done are beautiful as allways ,,but I have to say that I'm very disappointed with the butterfly stickers with the white edges, as I got some butterfly stickers and they were supposed to be transparent edges but had white edges to the but were much the same as the ones that you used in your video,, I think they would look awesome with transparent edges, as they would look more realistic Stay safe have a great week.

Quick question Steve, do you have prepare those stickers in any way? Like putting a glossy finish of modge on them before putting them in resin? Thank you for your videos!

[@dollybrown1993]

Ok!! Now to find a way to get enough temperature change to get the wonderful ripples that you achieved on the tops!! So, as it's coming on winter weather here in the U.S ... I'm thinking maybe by taking the pieces out under the carport for the night to get the drop in temperature???? My idea is that I can highlight the texture with a bit of dry brushing with a contrasting color then a thin layer of resin to seal it. can't try that yet because the temperature isn't dropping as quickly as what I am thinking I would need. Any thoughts as to doing this?? Ringy-dingy🔔🔔🦋🦋
