For those wondering, basically it's just 2-part resin with some color/glitter mixed in, much cheaper just buying some quality 2-part resin. I love liquid diamonds brand or you can use art resin or little windows brand resin. You'll save lots of money.

[@justphilippa]

Is this likely to stay put on thermoplastics?

[@pawandarda8152]

Super interesting. Is this color mixture will be heat residents.... Is it safe for skin...

[@nourhassan4863]

[@private91205]

Ok. I got my answer below. Thanks, but here is another question. Can I cast with cold enamel like I do with easy cast?

[@justin-wb3xb]

Hello, I am Chinese, where can I buy your color resin. Thank you

[@onetolearn]

Hello, i visited your website and i only found be normal colors, i can't find the sparkling one. can you please tell me how to get it

[@kalliemoore5153]

Will this work on glass blanks?

[@ksr622002]

Where can I buy this?

[@merryclicker]

How many colors do you offer? I'm also interested in trying this out!

[@sstunter8]

Do u ship to the US

[@roslynpittoni5475]

Could I use cold enamelling to make buttons which will be machine washed? I knit jumpers but find it hard to get buttons which I like, so I thought of making them myself with an enamelling kit.

[@HomecraftsTV]

Hi Roslyn. Once hardened, the cold enamel resin is quite resilient, so certainly has the potential to be used for creating buttons! You'll still need a blank to cover with the cold enamel as it's too brittle to be used as a button on its own - maybe try coating self-cover buttons with cold enamel?

[@private91205]

Hi thank you for the video. Is cold enameling same as easy cast resin?

[@pepethepatriot7524]

literally the same thing

[@ashleygodin1479]

Hi! I'd love to know where you purchased the cold enamel kit please! Thank you

How to buy enamel colour

[@kiruthikak3175]

We are not heating it.... Will it stay bonded to the metal

[@HomecraftsTV]

Hi Tori, unfortunately not at the moment however we are looking into shipping overseas. If you sign up to our newsletter that will keep you up to date with everything thats happening at Homecrafts. Thanks.

[@annEngr]

This looks like resin. Is it safe to handle without gloves? Should you wear a respirator?

[@pepethepatriot7524]

It is resin

[@vickystojanova7155]

Hi, can you tell me plase from where can i buy this cold enamels? And if you sell them, can you send it to Bulgaria?

[@agataneedlework8818]

This is coloured resin. Nothing special. If u want the same effect use nail polish. I tied and it's good.

[@DeeEll86442]

Where can I buy this cold enamel? Is there a web site? Please let us know.

[@pepethepatriot7524]

it's just 2 part epoxy, just look for one that sets in 30 min or so

[@energytree3802]

It would have been great to see the end result?

[@HomecraftsTV]

Hi Ri Mi and fran zainal. Thanks for your comments. You're right that this product is not 'enamel', but it is 'cold enamel'. Cold enamel is a pigmented epoxy resin which gives the effect of enamel without the use of high temperatures, and also allows an enamelled effect to be applied to a wider range of materials and surfaces such as pewter, or even cardboard! In the UK, this is a standard naming convention for this product. I hope this helps to clarify this product for you.

[@agataneedlework8818]

Don't teach us what is this.The work with ANY kind of enamel is a hard work and necessite a big attention, experience. This is only coloured resin. That's all!

[@franzainal]

+Agata Needlework you certainly NEVER used real enamel you would know the difference. It needs lots of time before you master it well. I do both and real enamel is an art that I still have to train a lot to master when resin is an easy craft. Try it, you'll see the difference. Anyway in France you can be sued by the state ( fraud inspectors) if you use the word enamel (even saying cold enamel) for resin. You may use this word only for something that has been fired over 600°C

[@ksr622002]

Where to buy?

[@HomecraftsTV]

Hi. You can purchase our Cold Enamel kits from our website here: www.homecrafts.co.uk/home-crafts/enamelling Thanks!

[@annehagan4938]

That's what I thought. The same can be done with epoxy resin. But thanks for the great Tutorial.

[@lavoneal1537]

What kind of hardener you used???

[@pepethepatriot7524]

it's a 2 part epoxy, they come with hardener

[@joolrylane]

how durable is it? is it water proof after drying? water resistant?

[@agataneedlework8818]

This product is impenetrable, so water resistant, and in good conditions it resist long times. But don't expose this "cold enamel" at the sunlight.

[@ksr622002]

WHERE TO BUY? I've looked all over and cannot find this product! How many times do people have to ask before there is an answer?

[@HomecraftsTV]

Hi. You can purchase our Cold Enamel kits from our website here: www.homecrafts.co.uk/home-crafts/enamelling Thanks!

[@arees8962]

👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍😍

[@mikellamont18]

So resin?

[@PhatGrrl]

A little bit more of a focus on the actual final product too would have been good rather than fuzzy swoop over them with the camera. I couldn't get a glimpse of the cardboard box effect or tile.

[@babyrenee6537]

whether the video met w your approval or not she was gracious to share anything

[@2degucitas]

She doesn't go over how to remove residue and overrun.

[@amandawohlfarth2513]

not trying to be mean..but a suggestion, better mic for less crackling and you can edit out those tones in protools, but good editing otherwise.

[@franzainal]

please don't call that enamel. Its is a tecnic of applying resins, I means plastic.....And it is a VERY EASY tecnic. .there is the same difference between resin (I'm glad it's forbiden to speak of enamel for this material in France) and enamel as between a child coloring a paper where he applies the colors following the numbers written and oil paintings done by painters. Enamel is a noble tecnic very difficult to master. REsin has only one difficulty : it can be toxic when you use it

[@agataneedlework8818]

Fran , you are perfectly right. This is like liquid glitter and it looks a little unseriously. Ya, it is beautiful but THIS IS NOT ENAMEL! And you, mr. Abel Babel, don't thinck you are so smart it u don't know what is the difference behind THIS and Enamel.

[@rebeccabramley4280]

Pretty rude way of explaining your point.

[@janevincent7103]

+@@rebeccabramley4280 I agree. What's all the anger for? I believe it's called enamel only because the finished product somewhat resembles it. Both are layers applied over metal, but the resin can be applied over other substrates, like cardboard, because there is no heat involved. I also agree that enameling is an art one must cultivate, but "cold enameling" is a craft most can enjoy from the start. Any skill, including cold enamel, will improve as you practice.

[@billd9057]

That is rough AF

[@rimi4400]

Very misleading -- if it's cold, it's NOT enamel.

[@BigHenFor]

Just chill out - professional jewellers use the terms hot and cold enamelling to differentiate between enamelling with glass and an enamel like finish with resin. Now if a jeweller with 20+ years says that why should you worry?

[@digitalis_]

doesn't look that good.
