[@carlycharlesworth1497]

I have learned more about resin from you Steve, than from anyone else on KZbin. You always give useful advise, and you always explain what you're doing as you're doing it, which is really helpful. Thanks for everything Steve. God bless you and your family.

[@AuntieTaco]

I learned about micro brushes from you and honestly, next to my molds, they're the best investment EVER!

[@user-lm7wy5vk2x]

We may as well use toothpick.. Or Matchbox sticks.

[@AuntieTaco]

@@user-lm7wy5vk2x That would scratch the mold

[@AuntieTaco]

@@user-lm7wy5vk2x That will scratch the mold and create damage which will transfer to your resin. You need softer material

[@barbarafetherolf4007]

I love watching your videos. I feel like I'm popping in on a friend and we're just having a play with some resin. I love that you are never overly fussed when something doesn't come out exactly as planned and that you are willing to experiment and just see what happens. Just wanted to say thank you for your videos.

[@dollybrown1993]

So nice!!! Thanks to the person that sent you the mold!! I love the transparent look. The tips you give are great. Stay safe and stay crafty👍👍🔔🔔🦋🦋

[@sandrawool5053]

Micro brushes are truly a godsend! Great job Steve

[@jaykb6587]

Having stumbled onto your channel just recently, I am enjoying immensely! Already I am learning things that I thought I already knew. Your ways are so much easier and better! 😁❤️👍

[@SalemSphynx]

Loved this!!! The paint technique is so simple but never saw it b4 so thanks & gotta find those little mirrors! 👍👍

[@PerfectlyImperfectByCyndy]

I like this series. Beginner or not, I always learn something! 😊

[@jaykb6587]

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts That would be fantastic! Although I do learn something almost each time I see your videos. I would appreciate the more advanced videos! 👍😁❤️

[@christinemariesilva7921]

Great information not too familiar with the mica powder

[@wendisarrazin337]

I do believe that this is the only video that I have had the pleasure of watching where there was no glitter involved. The project was simple and turned out really well.

[@richardbriansmith8562]

Awesome mirror Steve Mcdonald

[@pattyharrison6386]

That's really a cute mirror

[@crystylea]

The color techniques are always the most helpful- if you ever have a chance to make a tip on different color techniques and you mentioned alcohol ink- I wouldn’t know the difference

[@1CraftyBunnie]

I recently bought the micro brushes. I gotta say I love them! I am getting much better results with them as opposed to a regular sized brush or applicator. Thanks so much for all you do!

[@robertgeier4160]

I have the same mold and have made three mirrors so far. I colored the bits using two of the methods I have seen on your channel. Thanks for the good advice.

[@ajsajs5560]

Great teacher is Steve McDonald, I enjoy & learn so much watching 👀 😀 you👍😊🇦🇺🆒️

[@sewingforpleasurealllearni6084]

Thank u I was haveing issue with bubbles

[@dorothybole]

What do you spray on the molds to help them come off better.?

[@lilsassysis]

Hi..I am new..a first timer!!🥰.. I have seen other people with those thick moulds use a torch on them.. Alot on every layer. Is this safe to use with a thicker mould.?? .. Thank you for great advice and can't wait to see your other channels. Shelley from Edmonton Alberta Canada👋🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😎

[@ebbb5102003]

How do you take out the scratches on the item

[@LisaVornhagen]

I think that turned out really well. It fit together great. I have been considering buying one of those molds, but didn't know how well it would fit together. Thanks for this video!

[@MsFreshy3]

Im new to resin crafts and I only watch you. You arent boring and so interesting. So many great tips and ideas and your awesome experiments. Im definitely having trouble with my tesin getting solid in my jewelry molds. I try to make them not thin butvthey always end up sorta bendy 🤷 maybe its my resin. I use 7000 from the epoxystore... Thats what its called lol I guess I'll figure it out.

[@MsFreshy3]

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts ok done deal. deeper jewelry molds are being searched and yes I definitely will be getting some of the resin you use. Thank you so much.

[@LunaSolaste]

Thank you. I'm new to resin and wanting to start selling and these were great tips.

[@vivianmcalexander9999]

Fabulous!

[@mariablundall2228]

Just came across your channel, really good step by step quide, does is matter what mould you use, i got given a resin kit would love to try experimenting with it. TIA

[@nanapaula1031]

Looks like a delicate mirror came out really well

[@KalaDesigns]

Kala Design is very grateful to you for all your videos; they help us a lot in creating new work techniques. :)

[@charlenelesher1198]

Hi Steve, I have this mold and I love it! I think you have an awesome way to make the fingers look natural with a bit of shadowing with acrylic paint. I will try that with the next one I make. I also painted mine using color changing pigment powders the same way you did. And thank you for the tip on the micro brushes. I saw them on your channel and used the link to get some. You are absolutely right...I love them for all kinds of projects!!;

[@iam2bear]

This mold would make a great shaker!

[@spongegirl7166]

it would look so cool with a pic then the mirror I need to pick me up some of them micro brushes

[@total.calamity33]

You can hang your rings and bracelets from the fingers! Oh, I am so buying that mold!

[@lesliespiers8407]

Question: what do you do when your UV resin item still feels sticky after curing under a light?

[@wendybabendy]

UV resin may have a sticky feel to it, you can wipe over it with some alcohol to remove the residue.

[@dorisnoch7684]

Es ist immer schön, dich zu sehen, vielen Dank für das Video!🤩👍❤️

[@PolishPrincess74]

I would love this mold. Where can I purchase it? You do such awesome work and explain clearly what you do. Thank you so much!

[@biancabutton6569]

I am not sure if it was asked before but hpw long did you leave it to cure? This is truly stunning

[@mariagualberti]

Adorable mold. Where can I purchase ty

[@christinaperson1168]

Very nice! Thank you Steve 😊!! Always a pleasure to watch your videos and learn from you. You are a wonderful teacher!!

I'm looking to add copper to my resins. Any suggestions as my molds will be deeper in depth.

Thank you for the pointers

Whats the best way of getting rid of leftover resin 😮

Love that mold and the work!!

[@ishrathjan1260]

What items do i need to purchase and how to mix the resin

[@reisaduaburna1884]

Hi Steve I have this mold and haven’t used it yet. But was wondering is instead of a mirror you could put a photograph in instead.

[@leesescraftycreations6719]

That’s come out really well.

[@lbrennan2479]

Steve now you have your Cricut...can you make a decal and set it in clear resin, for like a key ring or coaster for example, with a name or funny saying/picture ??? Just a thought I had while laying in bed trying to sleep 😄

[@marie-annescantlebury4377]

Thanks!

[@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts]

Thank you Marie, for your support

[@blazeycakes93]

What kind of ink is used if not alcohol? I don’t know if it was said but I didn’t seem to catch it.

[@lisaroberts23]

Lovely video as always from one of your long devoted members 😜 keep going Steve

[@paigehahnekamp1845]

If you wanted to use like an antiquing with acrylic paint and mod podge it would that work for more details as well?

Great video. Thank you.

Hi new to Resin, love your video ❤ How do you know how much Resin to mix so you don't waste so much ? Ty.

[@Bessie66]

How important is it to wear gloves? And wearing a mask

[@rammylevy2436]

Some do some don't. Km not sure how critical. You asked your question a year ago. Did you get an answer?

[@savvivixen8490]

How resistant are you to known carcinogens incidentally populating your skin, lungs, and eyes? Wear the PPE. For similar reasons spray-painters still paint outside with PPE, and longstanding carpenters wear PPE concerning something as "innocuous" as sawdust, it's important to wear the appropriate gear if you want to keep a stable level of you continued quality of life. If not, you can experience effects as acutely as 2-3 hours in, or as late at as 10 years down the line (common for professionals to acquire chronic issues this way). Either way, doing the craft carries some inherent risk regardless, so it's better to at least give yourself a buffer against the easily preventable.

[@rachy11051981]

This was the mould I was saving money for before I had to stop my resin

Please sir what of if I need to get that materials?

Thanks for all your videos, I find them very useful as I'm new to using resin. I have a question, I cover painted rocks with art resin, the resin cures up well and are lovely and shiny inside the house but once I put them outside in the garden they end up with a white chalky residue on them. However, when I bring them back inside the chalky residue disappears. What am I doing wrong please?

[@ZippedUpKitz]

Sounds like you don’t have the rocks completely covered In The resin and you have gotten some air in between the rock's surface and the resin itself… I have found that if I don’t want something like that to happen, I will completely submerge the piece In The resin and let it completely soak through… if you end up with too thick of a layer, you can always sand it down…

[@JohnClark-tt2bl]

Resin doesn't do well in the sun, the UV radiation will ruin it eventually
