Here is the link to my amazon storefront where I even have a separate area for ocean art linked to all of my supplies! It really helps out my channel when buying through my links ❤ Thank you!!! Shop here: www.amazon.ca/shop/megdion

Does it have to be the same brand of resin you use? Also I tried looking on your list and I can’t see the white dye. What do you use for white dye? Would pigment paste work?

[@naturallybecoming831]

Do you have to prepare the wood with anything before applying the resin

[@MegDion]

@@naturallybecoming831 I personally don’t! I’ve never had any issues with that since the wood is already treated. If you were using untreated wood then I believe you would need to prepare it 👩🏻‍🎨

[@selectedstuff6182]

Thank you so much for listing my request this is really going to help me

[@MegDion]

I’m always happy to make tutorials that people want to see! I’m so glad ❤️❤️❤️

You just saved a salvaged pottery barn coffee table for me. I got it with broken glass, in need of major tlc and decided to inlay a crashing wave inset. My houses flooring is so uneven it nearly went junk. Thank you girl! I’ll post the finishing video and give credit. The first step is a short on my channel before it all went to junk. Off to fix it!

[@MegDion]

Omg yes please tag me so I can see it!! ❤️❤️ good luck!!!

Thank you!!

Just subscribed . I’ve been trying for months. I tried Just resin 4 drops & 1 drop Alcohol ink. It was watery & a mess. Can’t wait try your method

[@MegDion]

Let me know how it goes!!

[@MichelleShine]

I haven't mastered the waves either! I'll try the allumilite. My question is, what should the consistency be? Like... if I use 5 or 10 ml resin, how many drops of white pigment would you typically use? This would be sooo helpful! Thanking you in advance😊

[@RTsta]

Hi Meg, what brand is the white dye you used? I couldnt find it in the links in the description box

[@MegDion]

Hey! It’s by the brand “Alumilite” the white is sometimes sold out on Amazon but it’s amazing! I’d wait for the shipping on it any day or check out a local art store for it 😀❤️

[@desireeluvaul6257]

Alumilite isnt that white resin not dye?

[@lynjohnson9689]

Thank you for this video. I went to your Amazon page to see what you used for the waves and I don't see anything. What did you use?

[@MegDion]

Hey! I have a section with my ocean art supplies I’ll link it here: www.amazon.ca/shop/megdion/list/2CSZ1YKFUCO2D?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsflist_aipsfmegdion_WM89ER5Z8QJ5EQP3C1K4 The white dye is listed there :)

[@ryanwatson6217]

A year on any changes? I find doing the white first letting it sit for 15, then do the others means the white doesn't contract too much as it sets.

[@krystalendsley5759]

What the mixing ratio of hardener and resin? Also how much die powder should I get for a gallon? Or is it just to preference?

[@MegDion]

It can depend on the resin you’re using, always check the labels for the mixing ratio :) personally with the ArtResin brand I use it’s 1:1 ratio so just equal mixtures of resin and hardener! And for the powder you can get a small container to see how far that takes you with your projects :) typically dyes and pigments are so pigmented that you don’t need a lot :)

[@Gretchens]

How long before you start blowing the waves? Do you let it set for 20 minutes ? I followed your instructions to the letter and still cant make ocean waves. Are you skipping a step that is not recorded? Thank you just my 12 year old daughter and I are trying to make some for a project.

[@alexacoyne5634]

Thank you sooo much! I have been trying to make Christmas presents with ocean waves and just so frustrated with my white pigment blending and not making the cells

[@MegDion]

It took me YEARS to be able to make cells with resin so I totally feel your pain 😭❤️ thank you for watching ❤️🫶🏻

[@anamariacalderon6701]

Que respuesta es esta, ??? 😢🤨😵🤮🙄🫣😒😡🤬🤬​@@MegDion

[@donnaking3568]

Could you use this technique on uv resin ?

[@MegDion]

Yes you can! I’ve done it :) Great question!

[@Alicia-BG]

Can you tell me the name of the first blue that you used? I'm looking for that color but the one I had is no longer available 😭

[@MegDion]

Here is the blue I use! Hope this helps: amzn.to/48zrjaH If this one is unavailable, this one looks similar: amzn.to/3wsqYsX

@@MegDion thank you so much for responding. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@christinebrown4075]

I can’t see your product information. What did you use for the whit?

[@MegDion]

I'm so sorry I was having trouble using my amazon associates account since I uploaded this video! I have it all figured out now lol Here is the link to my shop where I have all of my ocean art supplies linked: www.amazon.ca/shop/megdion Thank you for watching and I'm sorry for the delay! ❤

[@joslynmitchell5073]

Ok I replayed this video 5 times trying to find out what she used “that works eevfytime”. Why didn’t she jus say the name of the white resin. I’m so stressed no one else tells u how long to let it sit or anything and this vid has the most info tbh but I don’t know what resin to use !!!

[@lindaboyack3164]

In description she has link to all products

[@MegDion]

Hey! 10 seconds into the video I show the white I use with the brand label visible. It says “Alumlite” and in white. Resin is not coloured it’s clear, this pigment is added to resin. I use the brand “ArtResin” to create ocean waves. You can wait about 10-20 minutes to pour the white on to start creating waves but if I pour the white on right away, it can also work.

[@mrs.b1789]

Alumilite colorant from Amazon. finally found the “works every time” item she mentions. Not sure why it can’t just be spoken or shown.

[@hsss1]

Lots work, just varies with temps and cure times. This is very very basic.

[@jeremycranford2732]

I don’t see a link to the white dye on your page. ?

@@MegDion is the white mixed with epoxy or is this used from bottle to project?

[@skgon3939]

Which white color you used?

[@MegDion]

amzn.to/3Npr5dF Here is the link ^ :)

[@lindagatchell8079]

how much dye do you add to resin?

[@MegDion]

It doesn’t matter too much but I would say a couple of drops since it’s very pigmented ☺️

[@dswatik99]

when you add the blue resin is it thick, as in letting it sit a bit before poring? Also is the white think when adding? mine seem to blend into each other and look aweful

[@MegDion]

I find that when I use the right types of colours (pigment for the blue and the thick white pigment for the white) they don’t blend together because they’re slightly different consistencies. I have all the products I used link on my Amazon storefront which can be found in the description of all my videos :) I know it can be frustrating - it took me sooo long to get the hang of it but you got this!

[@Nowthatsart]

A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: You also need a higher quality Heat Gun that can really blow some air. Do not buy a cheap heat gun

[@Zetamomma]

I'm wondering if this is part of my problem - bought quality white tint, let everything sit a while and still no cell action! I used a heat gun that is intended for embossing cards and such....thinking I should try my powerful hair dryer on high heat instead....

[@maryamf4769]

I'm having the same problem with the cells. Erghhhhh

[@traceybroadfield4810]

Ok that didn’t explain nothing you didn’t say what bands you was using, how long you was leaving the resin before blowing it out, that was just to say you mastered it 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@MegDion]

The first 10 seconds of the video I show the brands & the supplies are all linked in the description. I have an entire Amazon storefront dedicated to the ocean art materials. I explained how to reduce bubbles in resin, how to mix, how to mix the colours, where to place the white dye, (I spread it right away), how to tilt the heat gun and the angle it should be at, I show the method that didn't work with alcohol ink, I show how to add more white if blue is showing through, I mention you need to work on an even surface, I show a second example, how long it takes to cure. I show my exact method twice through. But yeah I just wanted to brag, right? 🙄

[@frigglediggle2]

the white dye is 40 bucks 😱😱😱😭😭😭

[@khalidhussam1484]

It's crazy !!!😥

[@MegDion]

What country are you in?? For me in Canada it still says $21.80!

[@joannechludzinski1805]

This doesn't look easy.

[@MegDion]

It took so long to learn! But I’m glad I did :)
