How to avoid the CRAZY snail mistakes!

[@PouringYourHeartOut]

Love your snails. I had similar problems when I made mine :)

[@Toonpish]

@@Toonpish yes, I always seem to learn the hard way :)

Hi Wendy! I am absolutely certain that all of us have had that “oh man” moment in our resin creations. I love that you share yours with us! I am soooo in love with Brian!!! So much so I went straight away and ordered my mold so I could make a “Brian” of my own.. Thanks again for sharing your creative world with us!!! Blessed day to you!

[@Toonpish]

Oh wow that’s such a compliment for sure 😀😀😀 I hope you enjoy your Brian as much as I love mine 👍❤️ have a great week 👍❤️😀

[@forrestr100]

Hello again Wendy, hope all is well with you and yours. One of the best lessons you have given is that it is OK to mess up now and again. I think it's great that you are not afraid or try to hide your little goofs. I thoroughly enjoy the work you do and your channel to me is one of the best. Be well my friend across the pond.

[@Toonpish]

Hello Forest 👋👋👋 I do mess up like everybody does and I learn from it so it’s good to show. I really think it’s important for people to know that messing up is part of the fun and it’s good 👍 perfection is only achieved when everything that could go wrong is avoided and that takes a lot of learning. One day I might get there 😂😂😂 But I’m not bothered if I don’t 😂😂 it’s all about the fun for me 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

[@sallysavage3879]

Isn't it funny that we can see things like snails, spiders, etc.outside in our yards and think, 'Eww' - but when we make resin projects depicting them it's very cool! Fantastic job on Brian!

[@Toonpish]

[@charlenelesher1198]

While I think the first snail looks more natural, Brian is stunning! I absolutely love that red!!! As usual Wendy, another great video. I don't have the snail, but I have a turtle, lizard, and frog. I think the foils would look awesome in my turtle. I'm going to give it a try. Thankyou so very much for all you show us. Without you and a few others, I would never have given resin a try a year and a half ago. I'm completely and happily hooked!!! 💜💜💜

Oh I do hope you enjoy your turtle foils it sounds awesome 😀😀😀 and I’m truly happy that you enjoy your resin craft 😀😀❤️👍 happy crafting 👍

@@Toonpish Now you’ve got me wondering if holographic film would reflect up through the glass pebbles.😆 That’s one of the most exciting aspects of working with resin.. experimenting, de-molding is either a happy surprise or.. a regrettable one.🤣 But, like you say, you don’t know until you try and the upside is.. either way it’s always a learning moment.

Brian is a good name 😀😀 thanks Dorien 😀 you will love it when you get it 👍❤️

[@MrsLisaCrow]

I love them. I've been doing the frog and gecko molds a lot. If I'm using flakes, foils or mica dusting, I fill the molds about 3/4 the way and drop pebbles in as filler. It raises the volume, you can't see them, and it gives it some weight.

I found a way to help keep the eyes/antennas on. I add pipe cleaners/chenille stems in them. I put them in and use uv resin to secure them in place and so my colored resin doesn't end up in there. Seems to be working wonderfully. Thought I would share.

[@carolwalters6469]

Love, love, love the red shell!! I have the frog and the lizard and have been debating whether to get the snail. I think your video just talked me into it! For the frog mold I've been using chunky glitter with resin and putting it into the parts that will be "high" on the frog (his back, thighs, elbows, toes. My issue is that it runs out of the kegs and down on the belly. First time, I just babysat it for hours. Second time, I used air dry clay to block the resin from running into the body. However, the resin kind of stuck to some of the clay and then when getting it off, I pulled up the small layer of glitter and resin. Ughh! I used some UV resin. To "glue" those parts back in but then my "fill" resin went underneath the glitter portions (I hope this makes sense). I wonder if I use the glue you had an issue with if that would help some with the running. My other idea is to use UV resin and chunky glitter so I can angle the frog and not have it run before it cures in those spots. I just haven't mixed 2 part resin with UV resin. Will that cause any problems?

[@Toonpish]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpKXq6BnlLR8i7c I’ve linked a video that might ease your mind a little. Uv resin can detach from epoxy resin by force so it’s not good for instance as glue for a plug. However if will sit inside epoxy resin happily. You could try a plexiglass barrier held in with hot glue. That’s been used quite a bit. Anyway. Good luck and I hope you achieve what you want 👍👍❤️

[@carolwalters6469]

@@Toonpish I thought about using hot glue but didn't want to melt the mold. There's not really a good place to add a barrier out of plastic. I'll check out the video! Thanks!

[@dagmaresposito6247]

I was wondering since the glue stopped the tenacles to attach, why was there not a problem with the body since you covered it in glue too? They both look beautiful. I bought a "Brian" and wanted to get some idea's :)

As it was a bigger area, there would have been more patches of space to attach. But with the tentacles, there was no room for that. There was a definite space between 🤣🤣🤣 have fun with your Brian 😀😀❤️

Is it definitely foil you are using ? It’s extremely thin and if you have it on your fingers it covers them too 😳 Foil clings to silicone. There isn’t any trick to it 🧐

@@Toonpish it looks exactly like the ones you're using. No trouble sticking to me lol

[@Toonpish]

And is it the same mould?

[@Toonpish]

Okay so thinking about what you are saying, you need to gently cover the mould using a soft brush. If you keep going over the same area it will come off. But if there is residual powder on the mould it then won’t stick. Turn the mould inside out and completely clean it. Tape will work and isopropyl alcohol will finish it off. The silicone needs to be completely clean. Maybe that’s the issue hear 😀
