Very cute. You can actually set your lamp over your acrylic without the bottom. This way you don’t have to move your acrylic while it’s uncured.

Have you considered using a small silicone spatula to move the blank so that you did not have to worry about touching the wet resin? There are really small ones designed to flip a single egg that would work great and the spatula portion is silicone.

Just fyi, lamp wavelength (nm) cures resin, not necessarily the wattage. A small usb 365nm UV flashlight can cure uv resin in a few seconds. While a 395-400nm led strip can cure the same uv resin in 3 minutes. SUNUV brand usually have both if you read the specs (365+395-405 nm).

Nail gel is the only thing I have ever worked with as far as uv stuff so thats the only comparison I have lol

If it's all the way cured then it won't be sticky. Just make sure your lamp is strong enough to fully cure the UV resin (at least 50 watts).

Hi, I just found you on here. Love the video! You make it seem so easy! I have a couple questions. Would a 3 layer mask work to help not breathe it in or whatever? Also should I use eye protection? And final question, is it possible to work with it in the garage without it curing? I don’t have any room that I can ventilate well inside my house. I want to be 100% safe, and not mess it all up. Thanks in advance!
@DIYAlex

Hi Beth! I'm not sure what you mean by a three layer mask, but you need at minimum a mask with the protection that an N95 mask offers. I don't use eye protection. I'm sure a garage would work fine.

@buddysmith7080 2 жыл бұрын
I know this is an old video and hopefully you got the correct answer to your question. An N95 or 3 layer mask will do you no good. It is not particles you are worried about unless you are sanding the resin. If you are concerned you need to use a respirator for fumes not dust. This is the main reason I haven't jumped on this yet. Still trying to work out the dangers.

This is amazing 👏.. Do you prefer to put the vinyl under the resin? Have you made any without that way before? How is long-term if you were to put the vinyl underneath. 🤔 I hear back and forth that permanent vinyl doesn't need to be sealed and that it needs to breathe properly.. I'm starting to get my materials to do Keychain and have done some research. So many ideas. Thank you for your video.
@DIYAlex

You’re welcome! Permanent vinyl does not have to be sealed, but keychains get a lot of use, so if you’re already using UV resin on them, then I recommend sealing your vinyl in it. Plus I like having the totally smooth surface (without feeling the bump of the vinyl). I’m not sure who told you vinyl needs to breath, but it doesn’t. It doesn’t have lungs 🤣.

Save yourself time & possible damages. Also they make silicone brushes that can be used over & over. Set the brush under the light & peel the set UV resin right off.

You can try that, but I've never gotten good results with mod podge and glitter with UV resin.

Try letting it sit in the sun to finish curing. It shouldn’t be tacky when you’re finished.

Yes, dyes and pigments are usually fine in UV resin.

You just have to be careful to keep it from going in. You can also use a small silicone plug. They carry them at 3rd Degree Laser. You can also use a drill to drill through the UV resin if the hole fills in.

Hi Alex! I use the same brand uv resin you use and it’s still tacky after multiple curing sections. What should you I do?
@DIYAlex
@DIYAlex 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Arianly! Set the acrylic in front of a sunny window and let the sun continue curing the UV resin until it's no longer tacky. Also make sure your UV lamp is more than 50 watts or that could be the issue as well.
