DON'T Do This | Resin Waves Tutorial (Voice Over)

[@sk13ppy]

Wow! First tutorial I've watched of anyone creating ocean waves. I liked it better without the crystals and might not have noticed the line in the white section if you hadn't mentioned it. Keep up the great work!

[@loriezweifel3364]

You are by far my favorite teacher…. I have literally sanded back an entire project because it didn’t turn out as I wished!! Keep on trying and using each mistake a valuable lesson and continue to watch Tracey!!!

[@MichelleTraceyArt]

Wow, thank you! I love your spirit. Keep going!

[@karenbaldry8096]

It’s absolutely gorgeous

[@jenswan9450]

Is the white a paste or pigment like the others? What’s the difference in the two blues and the white?

[@cathyrodammer4190]

People with negative comments, -just don’t watch the video. This mask requirement? We really don’t need one with the right resin. You are not experts, so please don’t try to “teach “others. We all know how to research. This is really a good informative video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your talent with everyone.❤

[@MichelleTraceyArt]

thank you Cathy for your support and understanding. I really appreciate your feedback.

You just go ahead and breathe in all the chemicals you want. You're free to just ignore other peoples' health warnings. The rest of us are interested in protecting our health!

Looks amazing!

I’ve had many problems learning to work with resin. Your piece turned out beautifully!

[@MichelleTraceyArt]

Thank you so much!

[@nataleetaylor7715]

Yes yes yes…. Thank you for being human..😵‍💫☺️ you have helped me in so many very ways!!! I appreciate your talent’s 👍 and thank you for sharing it’s a lot harder to get proper advice without all the other bits that I find really no so helpful? Just straight up! I love it go you!! 🤞🏼

[@MichelleTraceyArt]

I just love this comment!! Thanks do much for your positive feedback Natalee!! 🙂 Resin doesn't always go to plan and there's a lot to learn from these experiences. I'm happy to share what I've learnt. Thanks for the appreciation. 💙💙💙

Me too!!! Love you Tracey!

You can learn so much from mistakes. Thanks for passing on your knowledge ❤

I have been working on doing the small shoreline wave for a year now!! I feel like a complete loser!! I just can’t seem to do it? When you put the white right on your epoxy line of clear, do you put it right on top, or a little on the front of it? The other thing, do you use low heat and a higher force? If I use higher force it just goes where I don’t want it…any course you do that someone could take?

[@MichelleTraceyArt]

Pour the white line right on top of the clear Resin. The White has to be thick or else it won’t hold its shape and you won’t get lacing. You may need to try a different brand of resin and white they are not all compatible together. Good luck!!

[@MrMarkcoopers]

Hi, having watched a number of tutorials on ocean waves in Resin, does the technique leave ridges at the end of each wave? I ask as i would like a flat finish and wondered how to do this without a mould to fill and flood coat, would a final pour over the top preserve the 3D effect and depth but also leave a flat surface or would it all fall off and leave the ridges?

[@MichelleTraceyArt]

I think you would need to apply several top coats to get a flat even surface. Usually the 3D effect is the charm!

[@dswatik99]

i got a question... I dont have white pigment paste like what you used. what else can I use for the white? I have opaque white pigment, white alcohol ink and white mica powder. will any of these work?

[@MichelleTraceyArt]

You can try the opaque white and the mica powder. I have found paste to work best. All the best. 🙂

[@SPS_survivor]

Try the opaque white and perhaps a couple of drops of white alcohol ink 👍🏼 good luck!! When that first wave works it’s a great feeling …

[@shrutiahuja1208]

gun, the lace/cells are formed but get dissapear within 10-15 minutes. Could you please tell the possible reason. What am I doing wrong?

[@MichelleTraceyArt]

I feel you. The white pigment may not be thick enough. After mixing the white let it sit in the cup to thicken prior to pouring. I hope this helps?

[@shailee86]

i hav the same problem, nothing is helping to get lacing

[@atiyajamal8684]

My first time was a total flop, i think it's because i am using a mini board to make it, should i use a big one for better results?

[@MichelleTraceyArt]

Its good to practise on a small scale first. Size shouldn’t matter. Keep at it ✨😊✨

[@CraftLadysGallery]

Can we use white color pigment powder . Is it will come like yours

[@MichelleTraceyArt]

No. Liquid pigment only.

[@IndigenousArtst]

White epoxy pigment paste like what Mermaid Trash or Armor Art makes is the best bet for making the waves and creating the lacing. Also, let your resin thicken up pretty good before pouring the edge of your next wave and adding the white. Then, blow it with the air gun, constantly moving it from side to side careful not to keep it in one spot too long.

[@renee1503]

Haha. Been there done that. 🥰

[@MichelleTraceyArt]

Ha love it!! ❤

[@jenswan9450]

You don’t have to wear a mask if you’re not using alcohol inks?

[@raymondjohnson4037]

It is really disappointing to see artists teach other people that resin is not toxic. IT IS. No matter what, you need to wear a respirator. Chemical companies aren't going to tell you the truth. Do your own research and don't believe them or the artists. You'll regret it if you do.

[@MichelleTraceyArt]

Thank you for your concern, Raymond. The resin I use (Art Resin) has No VOC's and is safe to use without a mask when used as directed and in a well-ventilated room. Should I only have one window open, I will wear a mask. Thank you for your comment. I hope this helps clarify things.💙

[@majagilmore5425]

It dorsnt matter. Don't trust the industry, that chemical things aren't toxic.

[@the.resintist]

Your incorrect. Most Epoxy resin are totally safe.non toxic. And contain no chemicals. Did you know epoxy once fully cured is just a type of plastic. Obviously not. IKEA sell tons of plastic products that are mold injected epoxy. They sell these products in millions some designed to use for foods . I recommend you do some research on Wikipedia you'll find some interesting facts rather than what you read on FB or what you believe for some reason. But no matter wearing a mask and using gloves should always be recommended because some people use poly resins which can be very harmful as a liquid or even a solid 😉👌

[@mspellman562]

@@MichelleTraceyArtthat is not correct. Google it. NO resin is safe to use without PPE as they all harden

[@joycebranch181]

You should always wear a mask!!!!!

It looks beautiful but I don't like the crystals.

[@mspellman562]

Just want to let you know that art resin is absolutely still dangerous to your body and you need to wear a mask with any resin.. Please stop spreading false information

[@missamedulla91]

that looks awful
