Thank you!

[@CrabbyBeach3456]

Absolutely beautiful ❤ Could you please mention what brand of heat gun was used? My heat gun doesn’t seem to move the resin and waves around - maybe it’s the nozzle, or maybe it’s the type of heat gun I’m using. Thanks.

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

thank you! We use a 3-temp heat gun like this one: amzn.to/3nSIHTa :)

For the waves and create cells what do you use

[@capturedbydaisy5446]

I did my first beach tray and I love it, thanks so much for this video. The only thing I'm missing is the heat resistant top coat. Can you please let me know the brand and if it comes in 2 parts like the epoxy. Thanks

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

Thanks for watching! We mainly use the heat resistant resin from resin pro and it comes in two parts 😊

[@ArtwithAnnelie]

This is gorgeous 💜💜💜

[@anngreen1649]

Beautiful, I'm starting one tomorrow and this video helped. Hope you don't mind if I "borrow" some of your ideas..Thank you.

this is incredible 😍😍🌹🌹🌹

[@dianeb9578]

I love your videos. Does the handles hold securely once you place it in the wet resin?

[@amandasalley717]

Also did she put a layer of clear between the sand and water and did she let the colors cure before doing the top coat?

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

Yes we usually put clear resin between the sand and the blue pigment so that the blue doesn’t seep into the sand, and we wait about a day for each layer to dry before doing another layer 😊

[@amandasalley717]

@@SummerGirlDesigns sorry one last question. You said you waited a day between each layer but it shows the blues being somewhat mixed together. So did you do the blues all at once?

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

@@amandasalley717 yes the blues were all at once, the waves were the second layer :)

[@amandasalley717]

[@jw8453]

I can’t find the heat resistant top coat . Where can I get it please?? Beautiful tray!!

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

Thank you! I use DCS Resin by Dipon. You can use my code ‘SUMMERGIRL’ to save 10% 🤗

[@onthewaytoallah9845]

can we use resin with hardner as a top coat? as i dont have top coating resin . plz help

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

Yes! The resin we use for our top coat comes in two parts. We just make sure that we use resin that has some heat resistance

[@onthewaytoallah9845]

@@SummerGirlDesigns ok so art resin is also suitable for the top coat right?

for how much time did u wait for first layer to dry???

Quantity of resin nd hardener???

[@alys2305]

Did she use craft sand for the sand part?

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

She used sand that she collected from the beach! But you can also use craft sand 😊

[@alefiyahjaafar194]

Hi...i have few questions... 1. Were u able to place the tray handle well?...any tips for making the handle placed aligned accurately? 2. Also, what was the purpose of pouring the clear as second layer...was it to seal the 1st layer or to make waves 3. What is the purpose of heat resistant?...does it help with the durability of the tray? 4. Lastly, the silicone mold looked thin..how did u achieve to do 3 layers?...did u count the resin volume needed per layer?? Thanks a lot!

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

Hi! 1. Yes it’s usually not a problem. You can eye it, but if you want to be sure then after you place in your handles you can use a measuring stick to make sure that they are aligned 2. The second clear layer was so that we could add in the white pigment for the waves, and blow them out with the heat gun without it getting mixed into the blue pigment 3. The heat resistant resin is to protect the tray from hot cups and glasses, otherwise hot cups may leave marks on the tray 4. For beach trays we usually do two layers in the mold, and we add the heat resistant top coat out of the mold. In my newer videos I show this in more detail, and even have a video explaining how we add the top coat. Hope this helps!

[@alefiyahjaafar194]

@@SummerGirlDesigns thanks a lot for such detailed reply.

[@ZealousDay]

So beautiful!!! Where did you get the handles from? Abs what are they called?

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

Thank you!! We got them at a local hardware store in Croatia. Maybe there is something similar available to purchase online but I’m not sure

[@Sally123459]

What did she use to blow the white to make the waves?

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

She used a heat gun 😊

[@timhamilton9288]

It is beautiful. Where did you get the mold?

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

Thank you 😊 ordered it on amazon

[@fatimasaleh8361]

how much would this tray sell for?

[@fareehamujtaba2673]

nice

[@Zen.Williams]

This is amazing! I'm getting into resin and I've only learned about the uv method. How is she curing the resin in between pours? I know the heat gun is for the bubbles but is it also curing or do you leave it before pouring the next layer? How long did the project take to completely dry? Oh, and what was the heat resistant top coat she used? LOL I have so many questions.

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

Thank you! We use a two part resin and we wait 24 hours for it to cure before pouring another layer. We do a total of 3 pours on beach trays (the initial beach scene, a clear coat with the white pigment to do the waves, and then a heat resistant topcoat) in total it takes about 3 days for it to be done, and the resin is completely dry in 24 hours. We use the heat resistant resin by dipon de 😊

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

I got it mixed up actually, the heat resistant resin is from resin pro

[@Zen.Williams]

@@SummerGirlDesigns Thank you for sharing! :-)

[@joeymullins903]

You’re not saying you’re using a hardener too….I believe that’s very important to add

[@Zen.Williams]

@@joeymullins903 Hardener? Can you elaborate? Is this used in between pours?

[@keerthanachenna6281]

How to use heat resistance resin how to prepare...?

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

Check out my recent video kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKWwaXqNnJZ2abc

[@herrod777]

May I ask where she got the mold and what is the total resin needed?

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

She ordered the mold on amazon, and it was around 14 ounces in total with both pours

[@baharehasankhani8423]

What is the heat resistant name?

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

It’s heat resistant resin from resin pro

[@ladiidee4213]

I wish u showed the colors mom used

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

She used a combination of blue mica powder, blue colorfun pigment, and some blue ink. But you can use whichever colors you want 😊

[@herrod777]

I made my first one yesterday and it demolded horribly! It stuck in certain parts of the sides. Someone said it was because I used a torch to pop the bubbles but you did also😞☹️

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

That’s happened to me before too, it could be because you torched too much or too close and burned the mold

[@herrod777]

Thank you!

[@herrod777]

I wanted to show you my tray, but it won’t let me. I ruined the mold. I had to literally sand it off of my resin and scrape it with a craft knife on the sides. After I did all that I ended up painting the sides with gold and you can barely tell. Thank you for all of your help!

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

If you have an instagram you can find me at summergirldesigns, I’d love to see it! I’m glad I could be of help, it’s all a learning process my mom and I still make plenty of mistakes (and have ruined our share of molds) 😊

[@snehalsuryawanshi5724]

for how much time did u wait for first layer to dry???

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

We usually wait to do the next layer until the next day, so roughly around 12 hours. But if the resin has hardened, you could do your second layer as soon as 6 hours

[@amandasalley717]

Do you know how many oz of each color she used?

[@SummerGirlDesigns]

We like to eye how much pigment we use, and keep on adding until we are happy with the shade 😊
