I’ve not used polyurethane resin yet… but yes, I’ve only ever heard that you have just 30 seconds to mix… and 2 minutes pot life… it’d be nice if you have longer… but, having said that, I’ve never seen anyone mix for 30 seconds… pour… and have it not cure properly! So maybe 30 is enough? 🤷‍♀️ Talking about the holographic transfers… I don’t know how it works… but I’ve made a holographic silicone mould, using a refraction sheet… and it worked a treat!! And it was a fun experiment… maybe something you could try on video?? We can see the holographic effect, when you turn them side to side… better on some than others… but it gives us a good idea of what we’d get when doing it ourselves… and… you move it slow enough for us to get a good look… so thanks so much for that!! I’d be wary of spraying alcohol into the holographic mould before the resin…I don’t know for sure, but I’d reckon it may damage the mould?? Much like not spraying hand made moulds or crystal moulds!?! Well… epoxy is the clear winner here!! And the translucent red tree is just stunning… definitely my favourite of the bunch! I really enjoyed this video, and sharing the experiment with you… you are very easy to listen to… clear and to the point, without sounding cold. So, once again, thank you… I really appreciate you Natalie! Much love from Nat. (Brisbane, Australia) ♥️♥️🇦🇺

Thanks for your comment and really glad you are enjoying my videos. Where did you get the refraction sheet, this isn't anything I have heard of before, I may have to watch some videos, and go from there. : )

@ It was a couple of years ago now… but I believe it was on EBay Australia. ♥️♥️🇦🇺

I agree, translucent is the nicest & richest. I'm not a polyurathane user. However, I was pretty sure the casting compound wouldn't render the holograph. I can't say why except if the design isn't engraved or embossed, the casting compounds don't pick it up. That red is yummy👍

[@nmbbeingintentionallycreative]

It was a fun experiment. At least I now know for future not to use the mix2mold in this piece, and I agree the red translucent piece turned out really well.

It's the finish. From what I’ve seen, holographics tend to work best with very smooth, glossy finish products. Ceramic resins tend to have either a matte or satin finish.

A wizard taps the holographic into the mold with his wand. 😆 I googled it to learn how the holographic effect gets in the mold. The particles in the plaster are too large to pick up the super ultra fine holographic.Try mold release instead of alcohol to spray molds.

[@nmbbeingintentionallycreative]

I love the wizard idea. I do have mold release, and you would think I would use it... ah one of these days : )

I haven't used holographic molds yet but they are so interesting.... love the play of colours with light.... apparently one of the best colours to show the holographics is black ... looks crazy good... not terribly good for christmas trees I guess... although might be cool 😃 Anyways great experiment Natalie, thanku and have fun with all your little trees 💚

[@nmbbeingintentionallycreative]

thank you for watching the video and commenting, and I think any colour, including black would look cool on a tree, for me, gone are the traditional days of only using, red, green, gold and silver at Christmas : )

[@MacFufu]

@@nmbbeingintentionallycreative I totally agree 🙂

[@eclipseclaire]

After seeing your results I think I going to have a pay with both alcohol inks and resin pigments

[@nmbbeingintentionallycreative]

Sometimes seeing others try things helps us to try things ourselves. Have fun.

That’s weird I have been playing with same Mold t tink clear epoxy site best to show off holographic I know that the resin has to touch the holographic for it to work with polyurethane bottles I have at mo new type was literally less than 30 seconds it cured as I was pouring today

[@nmbbeingintentionallycreative]

polyurethane is definitely an interesting product to work with.
