How To Achieve a Flawless Bubble Free Resin Sphere

Often people have a problem achieving a flawless bubble free resin finish and those pesky bubbles can really spoil a piece if they are not wanted. I show how you can cast a deep mould that is notoriously a problem to cast and achieve the flawless finish you are looking for with you resin.

Oh great, I already have your voice in my head whenever I do “squidgy widgy”, now you’re gonna be in there saying “tappy wappy”! 🤣. These turned out brilliant Steve, thanks for the video. I’d like to see the holographic paper on the faceted one, I think all the facets would refract beautifully in it.

[@dancesontheceiling]

Please never hesitate to explain the math. I need that reassurance. You are lovely.

[@treybeedee6177]

Thanks for your tips!! I had to order another black sharpie so I could do this! My 39 yr. Old son is a crafter but on a different level. He forgets to put back certain things,such as my pens, my scissors , and my tweezers. Lol i’m just grateful he’s entertaining himself with crafts instead of drugs which almost killed him 10 yrs, who! I don’t know why I shared that , but it’s for someone out there ❣️🙏🧎🏼‍♀️

[@gryff394]

I would love to add that faceted mold to my collection! That's lovely!

[@fairygrammy]

Steve, thank you for talking about how figure how much resin you need to measure! I was never a great math student so any tips are greatly appreciated!! 😁👍

[@Nirrrina]

Just ask Google. Literally turn on voice assistant & when you need to do math say 'Hey Google' what is 2+2'.

Stumbled upon your channel by chance and I am really happy I did! I'm doing research into resin with a view to expanding my little online jewellery shop and your videos have been super helpful and give me confidence in what I've learned, so huge thank you for that! I'm with you, I love that faceted sphere, looks like a trophy straight out of the Crystal Maze!

These have turned out lovely! I adore the faceted one, but they both look great! Thank you Steve 😊!!! I have been waiting patiently for this video! You always deliver!!

These are stunning! Love the faceted one and the hands, wow! I’ve wanted the mould for a while but thought they’d use too much resin….now I’m off to tour other channel to see how you made these 😅 thank you Steve 💗

[@dollybrown1993]

Stunning!! The faceted one is absolutely gorgeous, I think I would add something to it for color.... Not adding color to the resin but putting something in to be reflected in the facets. Love how it's picking up the black just sitting on it. Stay safe, you do you, and stay crafty 👍👍🔔🛎️🦋🦋💞💞

I like both equally. These turned out very nice.

[@cyn7869]

Ooh I love these!!❤️

[@jenniferyates4969]

I’d like to share something I just learned about getting completely rid of all bubbles before you pour into the mold…after you combine both parts you set your container into another container with hot water and it turns your resin completely fluid with no bubbles at all. Amazing!!

[@MCher2]

Really nice Steve! I like the smooth one better but they’re both pretty. TFS!

[@amandamoses9179]

Faceted my fav but I actual like a couple of bubbles reminds me of those paper weights my gran used to have as a child x

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Didn't those spheres come out well Steve! I really liked the faceted one. They go so well with the culled hands. Thank you for another great video. So glad you got your 3D printer. God bless you and your family.

Think I like the faceted 1. Bet it would look cool with the Holo stuff on it too

I would put a beautiful candle in the hands, love the holographic piece.

Love both of them. Different ones for different moods. Though I would do the unfaceted one clear or a tinge of blue.

[@elenavaccaro339]

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts That would be fantastic. The facets reflecting the bits of yellow...

[@kj7238]

I appreciate the maths! You can also remove the holographic vinyl edges with a few swipes of an emery board around the edges instead of a blade

[@junek1006]

i like the faceted one best

[@Touphnya]

I enjoy the work, the focus on measurements and the creative applications. But I've got a two parter right now and the title mislead me.

[@christibailey6803]

Love them!! Where do I find the competition challenge?

[@Michaela-dp3ur]

Ein bißchen Isopropahnol in den rand der der Form wenn man sie abzieht ,hilft beim rausholen . A little isopropanol in the rim of the mold when you peel it off will help get it out.nice channel

[@Siobhan258]

I like the faceted one the best but both are lovely. Is there a way to make a sphere fully spherical (without the flat bottom)? Love your videos, they’re super informative, thank you

[@msvm76]

Oh em geeee!!! That is gorgeousssss!! Where can I get that funky looking mold from???

[@bubblemum]

I like the clear resin more than the yellowed one, and marginally like the faceted sphere more than the smooth. I also love the holographic paper on the bottom. Is there any way to project a photograph into the smooth sphere? Getting a picture to create the illusion of the old holographic 3 d pictures would be cool. Do you add a layer of resin atop the holographic paper to secure it in place and to make the bottom perfectly flat, rather than hollowed a bit?

[@michelle_resinrebel]

Hi Steve I'm well impressed with that resin think i need to try that out, is it good for dried flowers?? ❤️

[@ramonaburnett3350]

I love both but the crystal cut looking one I like best however could you also put the airodesent on the bottom of it to see what it would look like

[@klairbaranek]

Steve, can you please make a video about what is better to pop the bubbles in resin. Is it a heat gun or a lighter? Because I have seen you use both and I am really curious about it.

[@justpassingthrough6550]

Advice on suspending a object in the sphere. Thanks!

I like the one with the facets better

[@cadthunkin]

The math part was the missing scene from original Willie Wonka movie back in the 60's, when that school teacher asked Charlie how many tickets he bought. lol

[@claudiaroeges2446]

I love them both but the one with the facets I’d just like it as is simply placed on my desk. The holographic one looks better in the hands. Now I’m wondering how the faceted one will look with the holographic stuck to the bottom. I’m sure many others would like to see that as well. Please show this

[@amybishop3408]

This is great! It's kind of hard to tell, but did you make these in a single pour? I am scared to do this with the molds I have that are close to this size because I am terrified of getting an exothermic reaction. Yet, when I pour in layers, I can't get them to blend and it looks awkward.

[@nmbbeingintentionallycreative]

I am curious, what different products have you used in the deep pour resin to give it colour? I recently bought some, I added a translucent dye to it, and some glitter, and the glitter basically floated to the bottom, so wondering if it is only meant to have colour added to it vs adding something like glitter. thanks

[@horrorfan7148]

The faceted one gives me Crystal Maze vibes lol ❤

[@robertmatetich2898]

Hey Steve, liked your vid but have some ?s. First, the faceted orb is dazzling but the globe appears to have a bit of a hazy surface. Is that just an effect of the video? Second, I would like to cast an object suspended in the middle. Do you know how to do that without having any suspension material showing?

[@kaceyjohnson4823]

Do you know if, resin inside a aluminum can such as coke or sprite would work. Thinking of doing a project. Asking if you think it would work before I waste product. Lol

Ever put the hologram paper on faceted one?

It is possible to tell how the body of your silicone mold is the outer part of the body of the original model
