I love the unicorns stickers - it appears they were clear? and were those a recent purch? I would like to try something w/ those, too.

[@thefrugalresinista]

Yes, I just purchased them. They were called "rub on decals" instead of stickers and once I rubbed them on and peeled off the plastic, it was just the color and no residue or clear film left. They were really easy to use!

@@thefrugalresinista can I ask where you found them?

I love your ideas! I have a quick question, Is there a reason you use UV resin on some projects and not others? is it more hard wearing to use original two part epoxy?

[@thefrugalresinista]

Thanks for watching! I love UV resin for how fast it cures (honestly, for my need for instant gratification!) but it does't work well in large amounts. It is great for jewelry and smaller detail, but anything larger than a bookmark and it tends to warp when it cures. It also doesn't fully cure for about 24 hours even though you use the uv light, so it is easy to scratch it right after you make it if you aren't careful. Hope that helps!

@@thefrugalresinista I knew there would be a reason for it! I've just bought some UV resin and have been a bit reluctant to try it - Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it! x
