Don't Miss Out On These UV Resin Tips and Tricks.

[@no_handle_required]

You have made me spend more money on stuff I never thought any man should buy than anyone else on youtube. I'm now addicted to resin, and of course, now I have to go buy UV resin too. Not sure if I'm thanking you or cursing you. Brilliant either way.

[@cwells1235]

I wanted to just comment and say you're hands down my favorite KZbin resin creator. I met another lady who does resin at an event and we bonded a bit over our love of your channel!!

[@jessicaraelene5276]

I'm actually surprised that with that pink mold that you were able to get it to come out as well as it did since with most UV resin you have to use a clear mold so that's pretty impressive.

[@katonabarger4963]

I love your video’s! You have a natural cheerful voice and I watch at the end of my rough days! You cheer me right up. Thank you for the positivity you project. Have a blessed day.

[@gothiccharms]

Thanks for this! I ordered the 3 bottle box of the high viscosity after you said that it was thicker! LOVE IT! I use it to dome my resin and acrylic keychains after adding vinyl. Works a treat!

[@dpro7445]

I wish I could get small bottles of all of them in a kit!

[@JuliasCraftyChaos]

Amazing idea!!!

[@judyeuller7602]

I was just thinking that.

[@MissChelle]

That would be awesome ❤️🇦🇺

[@Nirrrina]

Ditto it would make everything a lot easier. Especially if it comes with a little guide to tell you what each one is best for. Actually we need it in a kit.

[@janicescragg2388]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

[@cjbee4938]

Thank you for taking the time to explain and show us the differences and uses for these. I’ve always been confused about the need to buy different types but now realise I really need the high viscosity for doming jewellery- I’ve ruined so many pieces in the past because I kept making a mess of it. This will definitely help in future 😊

[@jessicabadrak1757]

I feel like Moss for IT crowd just gave me a tutorial. You sound identical. Thank you for sharing this information!

Hi, Dr. Mc. I watched this and then came back and watched it again, taking notes this time. Thank you so very much!

[@ShellsSpace_MyEndobattle]

I am buying every single one as have the classic but the low and high viscosity looks amazing

[@purrsia62]

So this is why whenever I try to dome, it runs all over! So glad I watched this. I guess I've been using the new formula for everything...only been doing this for about a month. Thanks so much!

[@StefanieFournier1978]

Hi, Steve! I've been watching your channel for a couple months now. You are so inspiring and always brighten my day. I love how you show your less successful experiments as well as the hits...you make it easier for me to make my "3D sketches," as I call them. :) Anyway, thanks so much for being you, and if you ever come out to Chicago, I'd love to grab a bev and talk art!

[@GrannyHugs]

Steve, thank you for this video. I'm new to resining & I didn't know there is different kinds of resin. Also you proved other info wrong. The articles I read about UV resin said it can only be used in a clear, the white kind, silicone molds. Then you make a flower in the solid color mold using the UV resin. Thank you!

[@CynthiaEmbry]

Great info. I’m still having curing issues. I just got a new lamp hoping that solves the problem. I do these things right along with you and don’t get a cure. Thank you for all that you do !!

Low viscosity resin ... I had no idea. Thanks!

[@tinawheaton270]

Steve, thank you for all the testing you do and your videos. I learn so much from you. I can't wait to try these. Wish they had a kit where you could buy all them.

[@TarynIona]

Won't use any other UV Resin than JDiction, the smell is so much lower than others, and the jewelry pieces come out so clear and wonderful. Thank you for explaining these, because I am about in need of new bottles and with my new studio, I have plans for things to spruce it up as well

[@alexanderholden82]

Their original formula does not have much of a smell, but I recently tested out the low viscosity formula and it indeed does have a smell to it that is different than their original, and also it was not as low viscosity as I would have thought... it was more of a medium viscosity... I also experienced a bit of yellowing after a two-minute cure on a test piece which went into my window and was significantly more yellow after only 30 days... I have test pieces from my resin that I typically use that is a year old now and still crystal clear, so I wasn't significantly happy with J dictions low viscosity formula it seems the formulation is different somehow.

[@Judithptak]

i agree with you on the jdiction.....only one i will use also...always clear...never sticky...

[@abbywagner6240]

This was unbelievably helpful!! I've been having the hardest time when buying jdiction resin picking which one and it's not clearly explained on the website. You literally answered all the questions I had and appreciate you so very much!!!!

I love your channel Steve I live in New zealand,where resin is really expensive Amazon charges import tax,which makes it even more expensive. JD seems a great brand! I love resin work but is it is so expensive here,my interest is wanning I do enjoy your channel though,you are so down to earth and easy to follow Thank you!

[@kaydavispeddie5371]

I tried several UV resins but did NOT like them. You convinced me to try the JDiction and I am absolutely sold. Thank you for encouraging and educating me.

[@holditch1]

Thank you for showing this. I didn't even realize that they had so many UV resins. I just got some labeled "ECO" from Amazon and I'm loving it. It is the lowest odor UV resin I've tried, and it cures so fast and hard! But it's a little thin, so I will look for the high viscosity one, too.

[@holditch1]

The "ECO" must be the same as the "New Formula" one you showed. I have a sensitivity too, and I can use this one in very small amount with just the exhaust vent!

[@jayneyhoulihana]

Thank you for another fab video, didn't know there was different UV resins!

[@janieness5158]

Very useful! I’m just starting and this was very helpful. Thank you for sharing.

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

I have GOT to get some of these low and high viscosity resins from JDiction! It's the only UV resin I use, anyway. Doming can be such a chore when it insists on running over the edge no matter the care taken - ugh! I've ruined SO many pieces that way. 😥 Thanks so much for the demo, Steve! 😊💕

[@miniscenesgb]

great stuff. I've got the high viscosity one since I saw you showing it off. it's really great for doming.

[@haleycook3397]

I'm new to resin and originally wanted it to dome my cricut projects. I have the original formula and wondered why it was flat and not doming like others I see. Never knew there was different viscosities.

[@JDictionResin]

The viscosity is different, and the high viscosity is more suitable for doming projects. The classic is medium viscosity, general purpose.

[@gypsyrose5405]

Thanks for the information!! I learn so much from you!!

[@ruthbrown-eubanks9093]

Thank you for sharing this, I'm going to get the three new ones.

[@nymphetamineanonymous]

You came across my resin channels today! I have the same little UV light. They're cheap, get a new one before you hurt yourself lol jk. Question, I've been doing resin for 2 years on and off to start a small business and compile enough for a start up. No matter what mold I use, the resin is foggy on the underside (mold side) and I haven't gotten the right buffing tool yet for polishing. I really don't want to blame it on the resin as I'm using a super spendy one (not promoting but you can find it by initials TB) and follow another channel who never seems to have any problems with it. I stir it enough, cure it the right amount, not too hot or cold, no bubbles. 😭 New subscriber here. 😊

[@JrBurriss]

Thanks for the tips and tricks. Now I understand UV resin a bit more. Just my 1 cent

[@FirebladeCBR]

I have a couple of these, the classic and the high viscosity. When I bought them I also bought a uv torch. I’ve had my pieces cure for more than 10 minutes and they’re still sticky. Same brand. Even used the same uv thing as you.

[@sengasengana]

I have the same lamp, it's not good. I bought a good lamp and my resin cures perfectly now.

[@lindao7887]

Try a 36 watt nail lamp, not a 9 watt LED lamp, they say there's no difference, but I believe there is - and don't forget, sometimes you need to turn the item over and cure from the back and also, UV likes to cure in thin layers, try more thin layers instead of one thick layer. Also, room temp, UV likes it warm like at least 74-75 degrees. Best of Luck.

[@JDictionResin]

If you have two UV resins, neither of them can be cured. It may be that the wavelength of your UV lamp is not enough, resulting in lacking energy for it to cure. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our after-sales mailbox, customer support will give you an effective solution.

⭐️⭐️⭐️HEY!! BUDGET FRIENDLY IDEA!!⭐️⭐️⭐️ If anyone else has a small budget like me, when I want a holographic background in my work, I bought a cheap holo party table cover (table cloth?) and have used it for the background of my pop socket phone grips and cutting up little pieces for holo chunky glitter! It works AMAZING, and you get a huge piece for under $5.00 that will last forever! I haven’t tried it with epoxy resin yet, but it works great with my UV resin! And if you want other colors of chunky glitter, just get another color of table cloth from the party decoration section! HAVE FUN STAYING CRAFTY ON A BUDGET! 🌸✌🏼😊

[@lindao7887]

Thanks Steve, I needed this one!! Was thinking about the high viscosity because I stink at doming - always spilling over the edge - grrrrrrr but I don't use enough to buy 3 bottles, don't they sell it just one bottle? Thanks much for the video - just in time! 🤩 Oh, and JDiction is the absolute BEST in UV, I strayed to another that Google said was #1 recommended, but it sucked - really bad. JDiction is so far superior. 🏆

[@JDictionResin]

[@kwbond918]

My friend you have your high/low viscosity qualities mixed up... something with high viscosity will not have much flow resistance and will run like water. For something with intricate details you should use a high viscosity because it will more easily flow into smaller areas thanks to its low density and lack of surface tension. Something with a low viscosity will be highly resistant to flowing and will run with a syrup-like consistency. Try making a dome with the low-V resin and you will surely see 😅

[@stephaniecollins6052]

I just googled it and you're mixed up. High viscosity means very little flow, such as peanut butter or toothpaste. Low viscosity means easily runs. Water is the lowest viscosity.

[@lisagd22]

@@stephaniecollins6052 That's correct, but it looks like JDiction has them mixed up, assuming Steve was calling them the names on the labels. He said the high viscosity resin is thicker and better for doming and the low viscosity is thinner and better for intricate molds. It bugged me the whole time I was watching the video.

[@JDictionResin]

Some people will take Eco as economy/cheap, so we changed the name. It's the same, don't worry. The eco/new formula uses more environmentally friendly materials than before, and the formula has also been adjusted on the basis of the classics. The most intuitive feeling is that the odor of the new formula is lighter.
