Wow, since I'm new to all this resin, and resin methods I have no advice, they cant say you haven't tried, thats for sure. I love watching your talent and all your videos, i learn something new with each one. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I like the bloom on the back. My son and I think its beautiful. ! That may not what you had in mind, but is really gorgeous.

[@andreacollum7887]

I love the non-bloom tray! I was also wondering if you could make blooms in coasters and then put them into the tray. Pour a base layer of the silver, let it cure and arrange the coaster blooms on top of the silver, then fill with clear to finish it.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

That is a great idea!

[@tonyayoung4663]

Michelle the salvage piece was pretty even if it wasn't correct for the project I would use your casting resing let it get to temp of 32c & pipe your lines a little thicker not to thick by doing this in this big tray they have a chance ti spread Also I knew you were going to have blobs at your starting points those should be addressed before you start creating your bloom. Don't be so hard on yourself you do great work definitely have more patience than me

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

I did that on try #4 and it didn't work at all

[@user-nx8gk1le2m]

Another great save, I think you should try a spiral type bloom, maybe like the three smaller blooms you did on a single tray.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

I don't see how the shape would affect the blooming process though

[@samanthacunningham2802]

Your centre is getting too hot and curing before it has an opportunity to bloom. Try your casting resin and pour at 30°C so it has more time to heat and bloom.

[@richelleholbdy7393]

Since you are using a 4hr fast cure your resin is getting too hot and it stops moving.. try breaking it up into several cups so it doesn't heat up so fast..😊

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

That was my 4th try at the end of the video, worked way worse.

[@grandmawlaneyrogers2489]

Phew!!! I bet you’re going to have nightmares about trays! I did learn from this video that my fails aren’t ALWAYS my fault!

[@samanthacunningham2802]

@glitznglitterbymichelle1 I have watched all attempts plus the coasters. I know that most Fast cure resin cannot be poured more than 150ml or around this quantity as the thermal reaction is faster than normal. That's why I'm suggesting a casting resin as some can be poured above 150ml. I don't use Let's Resin as it's hard to get here I don't think it's a change in formula.

[@wendydeane1627]

@@samanthacunningham2802 I hadn't thought of that.

[@genajones2823]

I wonder if it just doesn't have enough time to move. Maybe pour sooner. But I'm no expert. Turned out beautiful.

Maybe do 3 or 4 small blooms rather than 1 big one

[@denise20240]

I would do 5. One bigger in middle and 1 in each corner. Also think it’s not the right color green being used.

Oh that would drive me half way to insane. I am so sorry you are having so many issues with it but very happy you were able to salvage 2 of them.

[@debrasmith3764]

Oh Michelle I feel so bad for you ! I know you have to be frustrated beyond belief. I would certainly be interested in what Let’s Resin has to say about this batch of resin. What a great save once again !! I know you can do this I watched you do it but you did do 3 blooms in that tray. Thank you so much for putting these videos out for us to watch & learn. Have a Blessed Day Michelle ❤

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

They said it's not the resin.

[@ResinateWithYou]

In one of Julie's (pouring your heart out) videos not too far back, she said that she doesn't wait to decant the fast cure because it's already thick. The reason you would wait until 36-39 degrees is because you're waiting for the resin to thicken up so your white and colors don't just fall through. So, I think you're letting the fast cure get too hot/curing too much before pouring it and so it's not gonna move as much. Hope that helps. 😁💖

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Every video I’ve watched her do she shows waiting till 33 like I do 🫤

[@gailbrown8710]

I was thinking maybe they just won't bloom that big. You should message Daniel and ask what he thinks.

[@ameyburden8961]

The save is beautiful. I was going to suggest a heat gun, but you tried that it is crazy that it did not work.

[@suewarnes9469]

I felt your frustration Michelle. I did really like the final tray with the green and silver.🤗

[@fe3o2y]

Try reaching out to Julie over at "Pouring Your Heart Out". She has experimented with all kinds of resin and has really gotten it down to a science. It really sucks to waste that much resin😢!

[@tamiburling3530]

A lot of my projects lately haven't turned out either. Doing the same I always have but just not coming together like normal. I think it's the weather for me. I'm in Arizona and it's extremely hot and somewhat muggy (not like you muggy) since it's monsoon season. Anyway, makes me appreciate when things do go as planned for sure.

[@jofish420]

Thanks for sharing this Miochelle! 💚 I love how the last tray came out with the geode backing ! Hope your client likes it!

[@ruthiemiller2168]

So sry it's didn't work again but a beautiful save I love the geode have a wonderful and blessed day Michelle

[@missrla1972]

Oh Michelle! What a trial and tribulation for you with this project?! I’m sorry you couldn’t get it to work. I think @samanthacunningham2802 could be right about the temperature. The width has much further to move but if it’s already at temperature then it’s thickening up and the only part that is able to move is the area that has a shorter space to move, although I would have expected the outer edges of the sideways petals to at least bloom somewhat if that’s the case. Hmmm… it’s definitely a conundrum for the future, and it’s not like you can be doing loads of trials when you have such a large amount of resin in play because it’s not cost effective, although, I’m sure there’s a way you could cover costs in your eBay store, if you do different colours. I’m always looking forward to seeing your latest video though, no matter how it turns out. And the longer the better for me, plus as many extras as possible, although I’m gutted I can’t buy them from the UK. 😊😊😊

[@liadubruyn5285]

Love how you salvage that. Looks awesome.. ❤

[@roseosullivanIreland]

Hi Michelle, don't be hard on yourself. The recovery turned out beautiful. I would say she'll take it and maybe a bit smaller and round with the bloom. She would have a beautiful set for her room. Take care.

[@melissapack9688]

good save michelle....that tray is beautiful!!! xoxo

[@jenniferr8195]

So glad you could salvage this, love the outcome of this one! It's lovely! Hope you can figure out what's happening with the blooms!

[@DarleneD1026]

This happened to me as well....in my case, i tried using less white, so it wasnt so heavy, bloomed fully but i didnt use fast cure, I used Stone Coat Art coat....i do countertops so i had an abundance of it

[@Lsurah]

essentially, it looks like its curing too fast for the bloom. resin usually cures from top to bottom at its thickest point, so the center set first. maybe don't wait so long.. dont let it get past 30 degrees before you start. or if its faulty resin, use your casting resin or the epoxy (whichever is thickest) and do the bloom with more but thinner lines.

[@Ali-H3444]

What about doing several smaller blooms in coasters and then sinking them into the tray? Then, it would look more like the fabric with having several small ones. I'm just thinking out loud. I just think the tray is too big. The bloom is too large also. I applaud you not giving up, though. Resin just has a mind of its own. Have a blessed day 🙏 ❤

[@Ali-H3444]

Pour your background color in the tray. Let it cure halfway or sticky. Make as many blooms you want in coaster molds, then fully cure them. Add the coaster blooms on top of the background. Add clear on top. The coaster edges should disappear. Doing it this way will allow you to check for bubbles. You can also add the handles at this point. It'll save you from drilling. I hope this makes sense 😊❤

[@dorsey_loves_dps4276]

Maybe it's the powders you're adding causing an issue. #3 turned out beautiful in the end.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

But it's the same powder I used in the coasters that worked..

[@Crissys.Fluid.Artistry]

I think because it was stretched out it cooled too quickly and didn’t have time to react properly. The other tray you did with the 3 blooms were tight and close together. Idk it’s resin 🙄Thank you for sharing all of your results ❤

[@dawnrosch8861]

Try cooling the center as it’s moving..like others have said it might be too hot…

[@janicepage2257]

Another great save. I love the new tray.

[@AlpacaMade]

I am learning from you, the only thing I can think of is uneven cooling over the large surface. You get a 💫 for perseverance 👏

Michelle what if you just made small tiny blooms just around the edge, for the sake of getting the tray completed for her?? Maybe that wouldn’t bloom right?? Just an idea…

[@amandabateman9460]

Hi Michelle have you tried using a heat gun to encourage the bloom in the middle to bloom that’s what I tend to do and I find it works well xx

[@hollylowery26]

I love that geode tray!! I just KNEW that bloom was gonna work... then it didn't. I've seen you do this tray in a bloom before so I KNOW it's possible.... interested in hearing what Let's Resin says, if the problem might indeed be that resin. Whatever the problem is I'm sure it will be figured out, but hopefully not at the cost of 46 more ounces lol ♥

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

They said it wasn't the resin...

[@cynthiataylor2988]

My vote is for Michelle. So gorgeous.

[@debranewbigging641]

[@KustomKre8ted4UByU]

I think that it is too big and the rectangle shape of the mold. The geode did come out very pretty!! -Beverly

[@dianestolp3252]

Maybe because the other bloom you did was a triple and it worked better in this shape mold than a quadruple? Just a thought.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

I just don't see how the shape of the flower would affect the spreading of the bloom

[@sheenailes1966]

It probably is that the resin is curing to fast you can sometimes use a heat gun to get blooms to start moving

[@donnabrown8800]

Is it because its an oblong and not a square? Anyway, this turned out great! You have a lot of patience Michelle❤

[@claireshipman6758]

Just a suggestion , not sure it would work though, how about do the resin in stages it might take longer. Make thin layers add the white and your other colours wait for the bloom to start spreading add the next layer etc and continue until you have the full bloom affect. I have never had a successful big bloom but have given it some thought. I wouldn't use fast cure either ,24 hour cure I would use. Maybe thicker lines not thin

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

The only resin that I use for blooms is fast cure, I can't get it to work with other resins.

[@daniel..cooper]

Hi Michelle, I have a couple of thoughts on this. From my own experiences what I think is happening is that the resin is cooling and contracting the surface super fast after pouring, you could be losing the blooming opportunity whilst you are mixing your colors. Also, if you look at the areas that it has bloomed, they measure the same on all 4 sides. The resin on the larger sides has to pull in a lot further than the narrow sides which could be more difficult without using a heat gun to try and encourage the contraction more. Also, what is your resin temperature pre mixing?

[@daniel..cooper]

What I always do is keep my resin in the big cup to retain its heat (but keep an eye on temperature) I usually mix my pigment a few minutes before I predict my main resin temp hitting the required temps, I find blooms work much better that way.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

The weird thing about this one is I have done a successful one in the past in this exact mold. That's why I'm so puzzled about it. I poured my fast cure at 33C and then on the 4th try I used regular epoxy and poured it even hotter than that! The fourth try I used my heat gun to help it but it still blobbed. I'm afraid to keep wasting 20 oz at a time just to figure this thing out but it's bugging me LOL. Thanks for your input, you have more experience than I do so it's much appreciated! My house is a constant 77F that's what my pre mixing temp is.

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

@glitznglitterbymichelle Michelle, I hope you see this, even though it's 11 days later! Here's a possible answer to the problem... I hope! I first put this comment on ResinMeUp's video, as she was trying to help solve this crazy problem. ~~~ I do know EVERY rectangle shape used for blooms does much the same really weird thing with any bloom. Even on the small trinket trays, blooms just look...weird. It's just that on large rect. mold shapes, the effect is greatly exaggerated. I believe SHAPE is the key. I truly do not think it has very much to do with consistent heat, unless the various areas are wildly different from each other. * There IS a possible solution I thought of while watching. I noticed that square shapes will provide a consistent bloom, just as do round, or any symmetrical shape. Therefore, if the two short sides of any rectangle were blocked off with something (clay?) to create a SQUARE (or even a round) shape inside the rectangle where the bloom was to be created (top, bottom, or middle), the results should be a perfect bloom.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

I think I will try this on a round tray like she did, plus her tray was much smaller than my rectangular mold I used. She also used a different resin so I'm not sure I can compare the two. I'm thinking it's the shape as well, but what stumps me is I did this exact same mold before and it worked!!

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

It's called a tumbler turner here is a good inexpensive one you may want to try : amzn.to/3Ag76v9

[@cindyorgill6619]

Maybe the bloom is too big. Try smaller blooms instead of only one, maybe just 3 or 4.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

But nothing in the center moved at all, that's why its so strange.

[@velmaford6098]

Have you always used your fast cure resin or just your regular resin. That could be a problem or maybe you are letting it get to hot before pouring. I'm stumped just like you.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

I always use fast cure

[@wendydeane1627]

Is it possible that the resin cooled? Perhaps having on the heat mat on low would help it move. Just a thought.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

the heat mat would cure it way too fast

[@wendydeane1627]

@@glitznglitterbymichelle1 even on low? Does the resin have to 33 to 37 degress? If it cooled would that cause the bloom to stop? Anywaysn that was my thought due to the size of the tray. Btw, did Lets Resin get back with you ?

@@wendydeane1627 let’s resin said it’s not the resin. The only reason I’m stumped is her first purple bloom tray worked perfectly with my fast cure resin

[@yvonnehardy7750]

I don't work with the fast cure so I don't know if I am correct but I am wondering if the resin is setting too quickly for the bloom to finish. With the size of the tray and having to wait for the temp to come up I'm thinking the time for the resin to move is cut way down. Also, maybe the petal lines need to be a bit thicker? Do you think this could be a possibility? I always love your end results. Great save!

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

I always use fast cure to work a bloom. And I thought the lines were thin till I re watched. I did them plenty thick but because it would move, it just sank and looked thin.

[@rhodanorton6944]

Is it too big. What I mean is because of the size of the tray should there be smaller petals more than one layer towards the edges? I think because of the petal size it takes longer to move.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

But the center didn't move at all. If I did it smaller in the center I still think the center wouldn't have moved.

@@glitznglitterbymichelle1 I definitely don’t know my logic tried to help out!! Lol

[@lynne6534]

Could it be it's curing to fast😊

#O from across the state can. Did you get a small pkg from me? Sanding sticks?

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

No not yet, although it may be in my mailbox, we've been gone for 4 days.

Your so sweet no I don’t need them trust me I have lots more

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Ohhh, my! 😢💔 WHAT a saga, Michelle! How very frustrating. No, it's *beyond* frustrating! I have *never* seen this crazy effect...not *ever,* and I've been involved with resin, especially blooms, for years. Maybe it IS a bad batch? I mean, you've done pretty much everything right... Oy, I'm so sorry! I do think your lines were much too thin for such a large flower. Thin lines simply won't bloom properly unless they're quite small flowers. But that's all I can think of. I know...not helpful. 😢💔

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

Thank you! I’m glad you understand my frustration!! Let’s resin said it’s not the resin…

[@maryb4796]

Last one you did a triple bloom with 3 smaller blooms. I think the bloom is just too big.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

I thought that too but nothing near the center moved at all.

[@trenalovesjoshua4361]

I think the issues is too much going into the bloom along with it being a way too big of a bloom. I thought she wanted a triple bloom anyways meaning your normal 3 way bloom? I feel that if you done the normal bloom times 3 with less stuff going on for the bloom it would work instantly. The geode is pretty though.

[@glitznglitterbymichelle1]

I thought that too but nothing in the center moved at all. So If I only had the center bloomed in I still don't think it would have moved.
