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

GLITTER VS GRAVITY... I DID IT!!! A Resin Art Video By Daniel Cooper
Here is a Resin Art video which I think changes a lot for Resin Art! I was very skeptical at the beginning of the video, as you can probably tell! However, for a first attempt at trying this, I'm amazed at just how well this worked! I STOPPED GLITTER in it's tracks! I'm 100% certain I could make this work even better on my next attempt.
As mentioned, DO NOT go mixing and pouring deep amounts, I think 2-3cms would be ok for a depth but that is using the same epoxy and glue as me, It is still an experiment and I do not want others pushing the risks too far, I will test further for you.
Please do NOT experiment with products which may be dangerous if mixed with resin!

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!

[@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 😊😊

[@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 🥰

[@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! 😊

[@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 😊🥰

[@juliebest-gettings434]

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 ❤

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks 😊

[@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.

[@Tonylady1]

Very interesting effect, thank you! 🎉 It will be very helpful

[@daniel..cooper]

You're welcome 😊 Thank you 😊

[@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)

[@Aangel452]

You are our go to guy for outof the box great experiments that have changed the way we can use resin Daniel! Cant wait to see more and maybe experiments wth the alcohol drops!

[@daniel..cooper]

Thank you 😊

[@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.

This is just Amazing! I hope it works the same with larger pours.🤩

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks, more testing to come 😊😊

[@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 🤩

[@CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

I am so happy that I finally got some of your resin from Amazon. The petri formula 👌 I ❤it!

[@daniel..cooper]

Yay 😊 Well done 😊😊😊

[@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.

[@pamelagunn1045]

Brilliant 👏

[@daniel..cooper]

Thanks Pamela 😊

OMg Daniel you real life resin GOD thank you. I am use this hack tonite when I do my first project but it's with UV resin.

[@ThyGeekGoddessMuze]

Thanks for that. You just saved me from making a mess mixing in glowing Elmer’s glue with UV. I bought it for making slime and therapeutic putty with borax.

[@DynamicOwl13]

I did this not to long ago with the same mold using black iridescent glitter. Love that glitter. It wss extra i had from something else i was making and by then it was thickening.

[@daniel..cooper]

Cool, did it work for you?

[@DRAGONT101X]

Man of genius lol

The glue may have slightly affected the resin clarity Because it has a tiny bit of cloudiness compared to the other one.

Very cool. Looks like the one with glue is a little cloudy, not as clear as the other.

Could be, I didn't notice, it may be the glitter? I need to try just clear resin to compare 😊

[@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 😊😊😊
