Turned out really pretty Janet. That copper is just gorgeous when the sun hits it. I was thinking lines would really tie it all together. Then you added some with your spatula/scraper tool. So cool 😍😍😍

@@MoonkusserArt They sure are👍

[@jennitalbot6785]

You probably are better at preparing, but I am always dipping my hair in the resin, and alot of times don't notice until I try to brush my hair and have to cut out chunks of resin. It does force me to trim up my hair some tho...very lovely effects, and colors are stunning, gives me another style to attempt to imitate, thanks for all the tips!

[@MoonkusserArt]

Thankfully I have only found resin in my hair twice and it was still wet so cleaned out with alcohol. Lord knows I could use a trim more then I think 🤣. Have fun creating!

[@OdileJenouvrier]

Hello ! I find your demonstration very interesting and the result is beautiful. But the cells are produced only by the heat gun ? Merci.

[@MoonkusserArt]

The heat gun blows the different colors of resin over the other causing cells. I then use the torch to expand and define the cells more.

[@dovespaligrino8312]

I like yr heat gun, it's a Wagner from Germany. They make some of the best tools..I have a home Depot one. It didn't come with anything. I wish I had yr nozzle. Where can I get one?? It might fit mine?

[@MoonkusserArt]

I bought the set of 6 nozzles on Amazon. Measure your heat gun nozzle and check size which should be listed in product info before buying.

[@amuonra]

[@louisehytken3145]

This is the most informative video on epoxy art that I have seen. Have you had problems with scorching resin with the gun? Also, I had problems getting my epoxy to move--maybe my heat was too low.

[@MoonkusserArt]

👍🏻Good question! Anybody can have times when the resin might scorch. All resin has a limit on time that it is workable. When that time limit is ending the chance of scorch is greater from any heat source being used to manipulate the resin. Check out this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p17XmHqpq9qonJI In it I used a resin that had a high viscosity right from the start. I discuss how I approached working the piece to get it to perform with good results. Thanks for watching 😀

[@mamasharon9193]

New subscriber here. I'd really appreciate and enjoyed your video. I'm starting next week. Can't wait to make some art during my retirement journey!😀

[@MoonkusserArt]

That sounds fabulous! Enjoy and explore 😁

[@marisamakesthings]

I appreciate this video! I bought a Wagner heat gun on a whim (300 not 500 but I think they’re similar enough) because I heard they’re a great investment if you’re working with resin. I don’t think I’ll be using it on the UV resin charms I’ve got going on now (seems like overkill for those) but I’ve now gotten several ideas for pieces using 2 part resin in the future, and it’s all thanks to your video. I feel much more confident on what I can use it for, now. Thank you!

[@marisamakesthings]

I’ve used “now” way too many times 👀 whoops

[@MoonkusserArt]

I have not yet tried UV resin. It is VERY different from Epoxy Resins. I agree with you, no need to use a heat gun on UV just stir slow when mixing to reduce potential bubbles. UV is perfect for small items like your charms. A heat gun is a game changer for large resin pours for artwork. You are going to have fun seeing what it can do. Enjoy! 😁

[@MoonkusserArt]

🤣🤣 I didn't even notice.

[@Shifali3010]

Nice work I also making something first time but I don’t know why heat gun is important in rasin can u please tell me

[@kv9052]

So the colored resin should only be poured over wet resin as the base coat? Love how this turned out!

[@MoonkusserArt]

Thank you Kristin. In this video that was the process. I spray painted canvas gray and allowed to dry. I then used the same gray spray paint to color the resin I coated the entire canvas as base layer. Then started adding other colored resin pools and worked with the heat gun. Hope that makes sense.

[@chankludo1]

You narrate very well. New subscriber.

[@MoonkusserArt]

Thanks and welcome @chankludo1 😁

[@yvetteocasio9645]

love the lights where can i get it from

[@MoonkusserArt]

The flash of light is in the copper color from Art Tree Creations.

[@wavesforsuccess7606]

Hello, I love your piece! Thank you for sharing. Quick question, when you use spray paint for your canvas, is the first step to use a coat of clear resin, let dry for 24 hours, sand, then spray paint, then add the thin layer of resin before you being pouring colors?

[@MoonkusserArt]

Thank you 😊. When I start with a canvas first thing is to make sure the canvas has not stretched and sag. It should sound like a drum when you tap it. This video shows how I prep a canvas - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpCyh5V7qMeKpJY

[@margueritejewett1749]

[@wtglb]

Gorgeous!!!

[@MoonkusserArt]

Thanks!

[@mooshpot]

Great job!! How did you keep the canvas from pooling in the center from the weight of the resin on the initial pour?

[@MoonkusserArt]

Thanks. I support the canvas with either a piece of picture mat board or a very thin type of plywood called luan. I then support by placing cups and paint sticks where needed to hold it level. I thought I had demonstrated in a video but apparently not. I will have to do that in the future.

[@mooshpot]

@@MoonkusserArt You may have done it in another video I did not see. Thank you for taking the time to share your technique!

[@wendylamb8645]

Very beautiful. I haven’t worked with resin yet but have it ordered. I also ordered a respiratory. Can you tell me what other precautions you take?

[@MoonkusserArt]

Thank you Wendy. Do some research for your own peace of mind and safety as I do not know much and I am not a professional on this topic. Here are some things I do for myself. Work in area that can be ventilated. I have a fan in window. Wear good quality nitrile gloves and avoid allowing resin contact skin. When sanding dry resin I wear a dust mask, safety glasses, and gloves. I keep a fire extinguisher handy at all times when using a torch or heat gun. Be safe ❤️

[@cynthiajones4803]

I want to create soo bad! This is gorgeous!!

[@MoonkusserArt]

Thank you Cynthia.💕 What's holding you back? But be careful, it's addicting! 😃

[@lolalove3972]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@MoonkusserArt]

Thanks! 😊

[@erineliseartiste5233]

I need a better button strategy on my heat gun...I tried plastic wrap that I replace every few pours. It's an OK solution but wondering how you keep your gun/button clean? I get resin all over my gloves and can't imagine changing to clean gloves for every heat zap.

[@MoonkusserArt]

I DO get resin on my gloves but also careful to avoid as much as possible. I keep a roll of paper towels and a bottle of isopropyl alcohol on my work table. If my gloves are sticky I wipe them down in alcohol soaked paper towel. At the end of creating and after the heat gun has cooled down I wipe it clean as well. Hope that helps you.

[@1mikesofocused42]

beautiful artwork. I have bugs i used in the resin its a bit tacky how do I do a proper curing with a heatgun?

[@MoonkusserArt]

If it is tacky after 24 hours it means that your mix ratios were not correct and using a heat gun on it will not get it to cure.

[@deborahvoso7025]

To answer your question my favorite tool is my large table in my studio. Next heat gun, then metallic pigmentsGlad i found you. Deb

[@MoonkusserArt]

[@1goddessjanee]

Can you talk about the torch you used? Do I need a torch and a heat gun?

[@MoonkusserArt]

To do this technique, yes. Both torch and heat gun is needed. The torch is what plumbers use. It can be turned upside down and the flame does not go out. It use canisters of propane.

[@Hajjat]

This is so great and stunning 🤩! Question, my resin dried up on my so quickly (less than 10 mins), any tips on why that happened?

[@MoonkusserArt]

There could be several reasons like what you used to color your resin, large quantity of mixed resin in a container for to long, air temperature over 78ºF, applying to much heat while manipulating the resin. I have experienced each one of those and always say that I do my best learning from my mistakes.

[@Hajjat]

@@MoonkusserArt Thanks a lot for the great tips! Yeah air temperature was 85ºF (I live in SoCal) and was dry (20% humidity). I'll try it out then when it's colder. Great channel, keep it up please!

[@yobebemama1]

Can you achieve this same look in a small flat mold? Like perhaps in a coaster mold?

[@MoonkusserArt]

I have not tried. When using molds during the cure process the resin reacts differently and pulls toward the center of the mold.

[@yobebemama1]

Moonkusser Art any suggestions on how to get a crackled look in a mold?

[@MoonkusserArt]

I am sorry, but I do not if you are looking to use a mold.

[@TheEpoxyResinStore]
