GLITTER VS GRAVITY... I DID IT!!! A Resin Art Video By Daniel Cooper

[@daniel..cooper]

This is 2 part epoxy resin, not UV resin for anyone wondering 😊🥰

[@daniel..cooper]

And the glue is Elmers Clear, the link is in the description box so you can see the bottle 😊😊

[@kimclayton5814]

@daniel..cooper I will get a smaller one lol 😊 unless you would like to share your big bottle..you will never run out. EVER. Love your videos. Keep them coming! Wonder if you would get a teardrop with the glue added and dropping it in that liquid ..or if this would help you make your little statues. Hmm

[@kimclayton5814]

Oh that was uv resin not epoxy. Sorry.

[@jaimebowler4220]

Daniel do you mix the two parts then add the glue?

[@lisatringali5581]

I have a question Daniel can I use acrylic paint instead of color paste or color pigments

[@leedaluciano9806]

The resin community is in debt to you! You will save a lot of people valuable time and resources by sharing this knowledge. Thank you!

[@toughtimes6596]

OMG! I see so many resin artists over saturate (IMHO) their resin with glitter because of sinking! This needs to be shouted from the rooftops! Sheer genius 💞

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks so much 😊 Feel free to share it 🥰

[@jayneyhoulihana]

Very interesting! Ive tried to find a way of stopping the glitter from sinking, ive only found that leaving it to as close to the working time has shown the best results, but this is absolutely epic 😍

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊 I have tried that also but it can still sink a lot, also, we are at risk of taking our eye off the ball and having it set, this way, we just mix and pour 🥰

[@mikemccormick865]

Definitely a difference between the two. No more waiting for my resin to thicken before adding glitter. Thanks Daniel.

[@daniel..cooper]

You are very welcome Mike, more tests to come 😊😊

[@SunshinePlenty]

THANK GOD that you are blessed with such BRILLIANCE! You are truly a Resinologist (New Word just for you)! Thank you sooooo much for sharing your discoveries. They are not just game-changers they are life-changers! ....more than you may ever know! 🥰😍💙

[@daniel..cooper]

Wow, thank you! 😊

[@SeradinTyrleth]

Hey love the video, great experiment. Could I make a request though. Having to watch with CC and sometimes I can't see what you're doing because it's cover by the captions. Could you try and keep the action in the middle or top half of the screen please? It would be very helpful for those who need the captions to enjoy your amazing videos ❤

[@jennierenzi8739]

Another great one Daniel 😊

[@kimclayton5814]

The sunken glitter is more dispersed across the front surface with the glue not all clumped at the lowest point like the plain resin. Like it. Now, I'm going to get glue😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Yes, like perfect balance 😊🥰

[@DianasYTChannel]

Thanks for this, Daniel. I always get so annoyed when my glitter sinks, no matter what I try. You rock! 👏🏻😁

[@daniel..cooper]

You are so welcome! 😊

[@anitamitchell3452]

"Balanced" That is the word I was looking for. Dan, you've done it again. Congratulations. And, thank you.

[@daniel..cooper]

My pleasure! Thanks so much 😊

[@chanalowenthal3897]

I love that you explore the science! It makes it so interesting and percolates so many possibilities!

[@Gingercombs4444]

Wow very impressive.,..it is a new day for us resin and glitter lovers!!!!!!!!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you so much 😀

[@docscreations6672]

I would love to see this experiment on a larger piece. Now that we know it works on smaller pieces, I want to know if it works on larger pieces (like trinket dish size)

[@NinaHansen2008]

Thank you, Daniel. I hadn’t made the connection that glitter sinks to the bottom! I love glitter, so I’m grateful that you shares this.

[@funo6581]

That’s crazy how much the glue effects it immediately. Great experiment! It would be interesting to see if there are any adverse effects with a deeper and larger mold? More mass basically. Obviously would need to be careful to not exceed the recommended.. not by too much anyway.😅 I have done that.. (exceeded the recommended) by quite a bit actually but, I also refrigerated it for a couple days. Great job Daniel!❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Yes, lots more to test, I think it would work just fine, it's just getting to know the ratios and maybe splitting into more than one cup to prevent flash cures, or mix in a shallower/wider mixing cup.

[@kim99may]

Your experiments are bring resin to a whole new level of art. Nailed it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks so much Kim 😊

[@vonnie4781]

Very interesting! I’m going to give this a try, taking the precautions you suggested. Thank you again, Daniel!

[@daniel..cooper]

My pleasure! Thank you

[@LisaVornhagen]

It's pretty amazing what a tiny bit of that glue can do! Thank you for doing experiments!

[@barbarameriton4818]

Wow you are on a roll lately. Another awesome experiment. Thanks Daniel.

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Barbara 😊

[@Jellybean_Craftz]

This is a complete game changer… I’m speechless ❤❤❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks 😊

[@AwesomeIncidentals143]

I love this…..Daniel you have missed. Your calling sir!!! You need to be a professor and teaching!!!! Your great at it!!! ….love this….so what I am walking away with is if I add some clear Elmers to my resin to thicken it up my glitter will not sink all to the bottom but will be able to float in the whole of the piece? This is phenomenal!!!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks 😊 in theory yes 😊 viscosity may differ, lots more to still test but it's a great start 😊

[@laurismith1087]

Daniel, I have a feeling ALL you future experiments will be using the clear glue because you enough for 3 lifetimes. 😁 I can’t wait to try this one out. Keep them coming.

[@daniel..cooper]

😂😂 no, maybe one or two more vids soon 😂

[@mbthe8731]

Late comment, but I exploit glitter's tendency to sink when making backings for my pendants. After curing the first layer of UV resin and dusting the back with mica powder, I pour epoxy resin mixed with a backing color and extra fine glitter over the back. After it cures, some of the glitter will peek through the mica and add extra sparkle.

[@kimwatchesstuff]

I had given up on being able to suspend ashes in resin. Even semi sifted ashes with no big pieces. I'm definitely going to try this.

[@daniel..cooper]

It could be very risky to use ashes with this atm

[@kimwatchesstuff]

@@daniel..cooper I have some test ashes, I'll report back.

[@hyperscitic92a]

What in the world?!? This blew my mind. I’ve been struggling trying to time out specific timing for glitter. This is genius! Sounds like you need an other collaboration resin mixture 😉 Thanks for this!!

[@daniel..cooper]

Glad I could help! Thank you 😊

[@SunshineSomeday]

As soon as you said it made the resin thicker, my mind went to petri. Hope to see an experiment soon! Great work!

[@daniel..cooper]

You and me both! 😊😊

[@KristinaWerner-qg8vu]

Wow! You are amazing! I love glitter, so thank you so much for this experiment 🙏 I’m new to epoxy resin and I’m learning so much from your videos. You have a very soothing voice and I love your gentle laugh. The editing of the videos is also very good. Thank you for working so hard and for sharing your talent. It’s very much appreciated 🤩

[@theresah5813]

I appreciate your experiments so much. They save me so much trial and error (and waste!) in my learning about resin. I can't wait to try this. Already ordered the glue.

Welcome back Terri 😊🥰

[@mebobtheone]

Most definitely I can see a much greater layered and 3 D depth effect with using the glue. This opens up all kinds of possibilities in the pursuit of resin art . You got my gears turning..Thank you.

[@daniel..cooper]

So true, I have a huge idea for my next vid 😊 it will change resin art forever if it works 🤩

I love that you have that monster size glue bottle and you using the minutest amount to add to the resin 😂 That glue would be gone in a week at my house, with the kids using it to make slime. I wonder how this would work with blooms! Fascinating

[@denisemead6149]

Very interesting experiment from someone who always has problems with sinking glitter. You only experimented on a very small amount, do you think it would work on a larger amount of resin? I must admit you have scared me off a bit when you talked about exotherms(?) and rightly so, these are chemicals we are playing with😊😊

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Denise, yes, more experiments must be done. I wanted to keep it as a low amount to be able to see the effects more, I don't see why it wouldn't work with more glitter though 😊😊😊

[@denisemead6149]

@@daniel..cooperI think I am going to wait until you have done more experiments before I go ahead and use your new discovery, first because my workshop is in my home and secondly because resin is so expensive. Please keep experimenting and I will keep watching, thanks

I was just scrolling thru YTs vids after seeing your video and i came across the artist that do tumblers and all the challenges of runny resin etc. Your glue/resin idea could go a long ways towards solving many issues of dripping and losing color/glitter depth etc. they have.

Oops. Might of added too much elmers glue. I couldnt get it to drop 1 blob at a time. Next time will dip my tool instead. I have to go to work, am assuming there to be a catastrophe when i get home in 6hrs. Luckily only experimenting at mo. Love watching your videos, they inspire me to the point i want to try straight away. Am i strange? I get excited from others demoulding. Thanku lovely man

[@dawnsummers5736]

Its okay, phew, nothing bad happened. Googled it, sounds like the GlassCast 10/50 2:1 mix may of averted a diaster. I couldnt get the glue 'elmers clear' to do little drops and when mixed, the silicone spatula stood upright on its own. Eek. I am a newbie and am only experimenting at mo. And yes, the glitter beautifully suspended, thankyou. I have now subscribed.
