[@moreworkfortrevor2027]

I guess it was the pigment I used. I just made some dark walnut charcuterie boards for my channel and I couldn't get the white to cell!! I guess it was the type of epoxy pigment and I knew I could get it with white spray paint but I wanted it to be safe for eating off of and I didn't know If I would do a clear layer or not. Thanks for the info and nice work.

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, a lot of trial and error when it comes to the pigments. Have fun creating! I’ll have to check out your work.

Hi looks amazing! Would a hairdryer work instead of a heat gun?

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Hi Lauren! I haven't found that a hair dryer gets hot enough to do the trick?! You could certainly try though. Thanks for watching! Not sure why this comment wasnt' showing up before!

[@cynni69]

Very pretty. Can you actually use it to put food on it.

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Thank you! Yes, this resin is good safe!

[@cynni69]

Thank you for a quick answer. 👍

[@pleasedelete1493]

This is stunning :)

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Thank you!!!

[@getlindab]

This is beautiful! I'm wondering about preparing the board before paint and resin. I have purchased a couple different boards in stores. How do I know if they're sealed or not? One is made of bamboo. I will be painting before adding resin, though. Is the paint alone going to seal the board?

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Hi Linda! It’s usually obvious if they are sealed and will have a smooth often sheen to them. It’s really hard to know without handling it for myself though. Paint will probably do the trick. Thank you for watching and have fun creating your art!

[@joyceamend4314]

Love, love how you have simplified this process! Questions: do you wait for the base coat to dry before applying the resin colors? And are the blue resin colors wet when you apply the waves? Thank you.

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Hi Joyce! Thank you much! Yes, the paint is dry before I start to pour resin and yes the waves always go into wet resin either clear or blue! Appreciate you watching and leaving your comment!

[@teresaluff2593]

This is beautiful. What kind of resin do you use for food safe?

[@charlene7954]

Absolutely love it :)

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

[@ameliadelvalle9993]

Love the art! What kind of paint and blow dryer did you use.

[@pennykay6381]

Beautiful Tammy! Now I know this may sound like a silly question but, this is totally food safe? It turned out flawless! And you said you found it at TJ Max! There is one of those stores in the next town! I’ll have to look! Great job! 🎨🥰🌹

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Penny Loves Art hi Penny! Thank you so much! Not a silly question at all! Yes, food safe. They have details on their website! I love tj max! Have a great day and thanks for watching and commenting 🤗

[@gratefulcreations]

Quick question?? Where did you get your branding iron with your custom initials?? And btw, great idea and nice touch!

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Thanks! I got it either on amazon or Etsy? There is a link in the description below for it! Appreciate you watching. The branding part is so rewarding 😉

[@foxbear4550]

❤️❤️❤️do you pour resin after mixing colours or let it sit before creating waves and blowing?

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

I pour my resin right away. Thanks for watching!

[@ekennlew6434]

Thanks for the video Tammy, I will be trying resin for the first time and have ordered some supplies through your link. I do have a question though, is the resin used on the cheese board safe to use for food? I assume so, since you are gifting a cheese board and I assume it is meant to be used and not just looked at...but we all know what happens when we assume. Thanks again for your expertise.

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Elizabeth Kennlew thanks for watching! Excited that you are trying this out!! Yes, this is food safe. They have info on their site about it too 😉. Have so much fun and be safe 😉

[@annheard8280]

My question is - can I use white alcohol ink to mix with resin for my waves?

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Hi Ann! I know folks have used it, but I’m not sure what the outcome would be, maybe try a little sample and see what happens but be careful about heating it up.

[@herrod777]

Hi there! I love this tutorial! One question….I bought a charcuterie board from a store. Do I still need to seal it? TIA

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Hi Rhonda! Thank you so much for the kind words! It really depends on how porous the wood is?! Many store bought pieces, from my experience are already sealed. Keep in my if you paint it first that would help seal it and even the resin will seal it, although if it’s porous and causes air bubbles you may need to sand and do a second layer of resin over the first. Hope this helps and happy creating!

[@herrod777]

Thank you so much! I believe the one I have is already sealed but I think I’m going to paint it just to be sure. I hate dealing with bubbles!!

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

@@herrod777 have so much fun!!

[@gailrigelsky3224]

Do you have to use food approve resin to put food on it?

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Gail Rigelsky I would. Thanks for watching!

[@princessmissmiki]

Love your waves! I purchased this white pigment but it won’t cell... any ideas to what I could be doing wrong? I’m using a heat gun and then a torch after but still not celling... or creating cells 😭

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Thank you and sorry you are having issues! I’m not sure what’s going on? Are you mixing your pigment with the resin and then putting it in clear resin and heating?

[@princessmissmiki]

I am... the more I look into it, the more I’m realizing that creating cells is harder than it seems and takes a lot of things into consideration 🤣 im going to keep watching more videos and study more!

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

@@princessmissmiki sometimes they turn out easily and sometimes not. You’ll get them, keep trying. Have fun and thanks for following along!

[@winnieliu3817]

What is the heat gun that you recommend? I have one that cannot create this wave pattern.

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

The products I use can all be found in my amazon shop in the description below my video 😉

[@kaushaltravels]

This is so satisfying to watch Tam. 1 curious question - when you mixed the white color - was it mixed in pure resin or resin + hardener mix itself ?

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Thank you!! The white and all pigments are always mixed in to the combined resin and hardner 🤗 Hope that helps!!!

[@kaushaltravels]

@@TamsCreativeCorner Yes indeed. Thanks a lot! My white didn't co-orperate so well :/ So i thought may be i should less diluted one.

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

@@kaushaltravels a lot of trial and error. You’ll get it!

[@finuvarghese209]

Hi Tammy it looks so awesome. Do you sand and prepare the wood before applying the resin ? Thanks

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Finu Varghese thank you so much! I seal the wood with minwax polycrylic. No sanding needed with this product though. Thanks for watching and leaving your comment 🤗

[@winnieliu3817]

@@TamsCreativeCorner Satin finish or semi glass ? Do you seal front and back of the board before applying the resin?

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

@@winnieliu3817 this board was already treated so I didn’t need to seal it, however on the ones that I do, It doesn’t really matter semi gloss or satin. I’ve used both.

[@susanzohn4645]

Tammy, beautiful video. Question though. I painted on wood with acrylic paint and then put resin over it. Made the waves but when it dried the entire piece peeled off. Has that ever happened to you?

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Thank you! I have not had that happen! Was your resin completely cured? I’m not sure what would have caused that. Did the paint peel off too or just resin?

[@herrod777]

Hi again! I thought of another question LOL! Do you know about how much resin you used for one board? Thank you so much!

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Hi! Honestly I don’t remember, but on this piece it was not much!

[@katiemason7430]

beautiful! what do you do to clean up the back of the board after you take tape off?

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Thanks! Most of the time the tape does the trick and there’s not much to clean up, but if the resin sleeps through you can sand it down

[@carmenmartorella4385]

Is a heat gun like a bunsit burner? Where do i find one?

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Hello! You can see what a heat gun is on my Amazon link here www.amazon.com/shop/tamscreativecorner/list/1E44TI1XA2MX8?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_aipsflist_aipsftamscreativecorner_Y02QJYQD5H4HJ5M8JG3J&language=en_US thank you for watching

[@bevferrier]

Is it best to have the heat gun on high when creating the waves? The board looks fab by the way!

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Bev ferrier thank you! It really depends on a lot of factors, but I kick it up toward the high heat end when ding the waves! Thanks for watching 🤗

[@deborahmccourt9222]

Does it not burn the resin if it's too high?

[@cynthiakerstetter918]

Is this food proof? Does it need a top coat?

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

It’s food safe

[@krystalw1060]

Hi I hope I get a reply. Did you do this all in one go ? Or did you let it dry at time and do layers

[@TamsCreativeCorner]

Hi Krystal! This piece was one of those rare ones where I only did one layer. So all in one go! Thank you for watching and your question! Hope that helps!

[@krystalw1060]

Thank you, I’m on a low budget and really trying to not waste my resin. Yours is one of the first I’ve seen where they don’t have resin dripping so much off the piece :)
