In my experience it's not the size that matters, it's the technique, which you illustrated beautifully here!

[@Amanda_Axolotl]

The mini message in a bottle is adorable, might have to make one of my own one day! The vortex's also look amazing~

[@ugenefindley1335]

The close up cam is appreciated!

[@tiffanyhackerspace8377]

[@lisathomas8916]

[@axelthecat5098]

Absolutley adore the mini versions! Thanks for putting in the extra effort for the close ups, they really make a difference.🎥

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Lol Alexa 🤣🤣 Loved the message in a bottle as much as I did the first one ! And you absolutely did not need to cover the whole bottom with sand as I'm sure you know ... it looks so much better this way ! Can see every detail .. the vortex is so cool too .. such an illusion love it x love em both .. thanks so much for sharing mini versions xx

[@resinAce]

I taught Alexa everything she knows 🤣

Small is good, small is cute!

I liked the vortex piece the best.

Beautiful and cool

[@alisonmary1443]

[@lindsey8480]

Que bellezas hace con la resina todas esas miniaturas son bellísimas, saludos desde Costa Rica.

[@celestialcrystalize8871]

Aww these mini versions are so CUTE!!! I adore these beautiful piece of arts! 🥰💜

[@KP-nx8lo]

I bet it’d be really pretty if you mixed a lil white glitter in with the sand! 🤩

[@traceyms1971]

Two of my favorite pieces. I may have to retry that vortex ball...

[@tiffanyhackerspace8377]

Yeah, same! Mine is not NEARLY as cool as Ace's, and I learned today to make sure my cone is smaller than my sphere, so that's good. Missed that the first time 'round :-)

[@celiaramos2217]

You are so creative, I love your youtube channel...I watch everytime before I go on a paranormal investigation

[@Sara-pe5in]

Awesome work ♥️♥️

[@JewelSand]

You are so innovative!

[@pamcarr4003]

Hey Ace, nice to see your hands again! 👐 Great job my man! I loved these the first time and even more in the cutsie mini versions! 👏👏👏 I do enjoy the close up shots too, very nice! Ahhh, Alexa, Alexa, Alexa, yeah, we'll keep her! You just keep on teaching her Ace! 😉 Great vid as always, thanks! Pam 😋

[@resinAce]

Thank you 😊♠

[@karulach]

Great project.

[@JamesManCave]

You missed out the dead star fish in this one!!! 😲🤣 And that vortex mind, it's encapsulating, could look at that all day long 👍

[@resinAce]

I didn't have a mini starfish 🤣 The vortex just messes with your mind 😜♠

[@leo-hao]

Even though it may take more time, making more layers with different degrees of transparency will look so much better.

[@bikiferron2147]

maravilloso trabajo, que por se pequeño es magnifico y por ser grande es superior, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@digitaldarkroom07]

I have to rewatch all of your old videos because there hasn’t been a new one in 8 months! Please come back! And yes, it still bothers me so much that the sand doesn’t cover the entire bottom!

[@PaullaWells]

Love the smaller vortex! Of course, pink is my favorite color. 😉 The closeup shots are really cool, but it would be fine without too. Alexa. 🤣

[@theGhostWolfe]

I need to work out how to do a nice gradient effect, and then I want to try that message in a bottle 🤔

[@Diamondpaintingslover]

I love this and loving the Music on this one too.

[@lgecreations33560]

The vortex sphere is really very beautiful !! I just love it! I tried this afternoon and the colors do not stand out like yours but I will try again! I have a hard time removing the plastic too. yet I use epoxy resin too..thank you for your videos

[@mavisbruns]

Geweldig! 😃

[@andreaallen6255]

Love your videos

[@magicaval1]

i love them

[@patriciamoore2044]

Thank you for this awesomeness! The only time size matters is when you are talking about how big of a pearl you are putting on your finger nail and where you are putting that finger!?!

[@resinAce]

Thanks 😊♠

[@ВалькаСупер]

Cheers new video 😊 Thanks 🥰 You are the best ❤️

[@realworldmom]

Where do you get your square molds from? What sizes are they? I’m looking for one that you do your paper weights with..like the butterfly and daisy one.

[@resinAce]

Hi, I just buy them from sellers on eBay. If you search '50mm resin cube mold' you should find them.

[@realworldmom]

@@resinAce ok thanks. I wasnt sure the size but this helps!

[@_faye.]

where do you get your uv resin?

[@NicoleMacintyre52]

Hellooo Ace 👋👋😀 that’s beautiful love it 😍

[@resinAce]

Hi, thank you 😘♠

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

that is so pretty

[@Caradea]

What's the clear tacky stuff you use to smush the vortex cone to the scrap of foamboard?

[@resinAce]

It was just called 'white tack' the sort of stuff for sticking posters to walls

[@raziel3726]

Craftsman!!

[@princesasion28]

Me fascina tu canal que genial video! Podrías crear algo muy cute?, sería lindo de ver 😊, siempre veo tus videos saluditos desde Chile 😄

[@oyvonnee]

Great project. I've watched a couple of your videos and I see you use what looks like a paintbrush to put on your UV resin. Do you throw it away afterwards or do you wash it out? Any particular kind of bristles? Thanks a bunch for all the detail.

[@resinAce]

Thank you 😁 The paintbrushes are 12 for £1 from my local craft store. You can either clean them up with Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol) or just store them in a dark, air tight container. www.therange.co.uk/arts-and-crafts/art-supplies/painting/art-brushes/all-purpose-brushes/royal-and-langnickel-natural-hair-brush-set/#221570

Love love love 🙌🏻♥️

What is the music at 5:12? It sounds like an underwater Mario level!

[@pamcullen537]

Hi. I have a question please. I coloured my clear casting resin in a plastic cup with 3 drops of pigment and the colour was just right - while curing however the resin heated up and took all the colour out ! - did I use too much hardener perhaps ( the ratio is stated as 1-3%) I used 2% ?💕🦆

[@resinAce]

Hi, are you using polyester resin or epoxy resin? Polyester resin catalyst can kill certain types of pigment. Whenever using polyester resin you should always select pigments that are specifically compatible with that type of resin. I use epoxy resin in most of my projects, which may not always be suited to polyester.

[@pamcullen537]

I’m pretty certain it’s epoxy resin 🤔🦆

[@resinAce]

@@pamcullen537 How interesting. I would still suspect a compatibility issue between the pigment and the catalyst. If you link your brand of resin I can take a look at the technical datasheet and see if I can spot anything obvious.

[@pamcullen537]

The resin I am using is from Tricell. I think I may have sussed the problem - the pigment was advertised as ‘Epoxy resin pigment, 15 colours epoxy UV resin dye liquid transparent for highly concentrated epoxy resin , diy jewellery making supplies ‘.... therefore I imagine for UV resin only. Sorry to have been a bit dense, will try on UV resin and see how it works. Many thanks 🙏💕🦆

[@cowgirlo99]

NO it's what you do with it that counts!

[@havenslilartcorner325]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing.

[@xi_niux]

作業がとっても丁寧だなぁ… なんで伸びないんだろうか…

[@katquart9804]

Alexa always has something to tell for sure 🤭

[@safetyfirstdaniel]

Sorry if this has already been asked but do you sell these? Are you on Etsy etc? I’d love to buy one as my creative skills aren’t great 😅

[@jujucatjuca]

nice

[@dulciehostetler3819]

I actually had third degree burns on my fingers from a hot glue gun. It went thru the foam I was putting glue on, so I grabbed it off with my other hand... which the hot glue ended up burning and I grabbed it again with the hand first burnt. I ended up with 7 fingers burnt, all completely losing their skin and all. It was extremely painful.

[@resinAce]

Ouch that's not good! Hope you recovered OK ♠

[@dulciehostetler3819]

@@resinAce I did. Makes me so much more careful of hot glue guns now.

[@aleciab83]

The close up shots are nice but if I had to choose between close up shots or more videos, I’d choose more videos. So if editing time is taking away from making other videos, stop the extra editing and make more videos.

[@longgreengrasspandapuss7935]

😶😐🙂😀😁🤗👍

[@samanthadean1083]

Aw, no dying bubble sounds this time... 😞

[@krymsynrayne]

I thought I was the only one with a thing for torturing myself with a hot glue gun...

[@Haffina]

You should have covered the whole bottom with sand....😂😉😝
