[@TealCheetah]

Things I have learned: *HOT resin will adhere to the silicone. Be super careful when popping bubbles. Ive ruined several molds this way. *pre-warming the molds in a toaster oven set on the lowest possible helps the resin flow better into the mold. Note, warm resin is more viscus, causing colors to mix more if you're using more then one color this can be a problem. *I like to dust molds with corn starch just to make extra sure the resin doesnt stick

[@MoonpieCreations]

Used mold release and it worked perfect. I have seen people warm the molds and I think I may try it. Thank you. Ken

[@mookzmom]

It’s good to see that this resin works pretty well with molds. I’m planning to try using little ultrasonic jewelry cleaner machine to get rid of bubbles until I can afford a pressure pot. The resin you showed is quite a bit cheaper than most other kinds, nd I love the idea of just using pumps instead of weighing the stuff. Do you store them with the pumps in the bottles,or if not, how do you keep the pump tops clean and cleared for the next use?

[@MoonpieCreations]

I would suggest Thickset or the Makers Resin. Both will work good without a pressure pot. I poured a 2 1/2" platter and got almost no bubbles in it. I store the pumps in them, but my last pump I lock them down. I just wipe the tip of with a paper towel. Use MPC20 for 20% off if you do buy TotalBoat. I would love to see some of your work.

Although I appreciate your concern. There are no fumes coming off this resin for me to be concerned about.

I'm not telling you or anyone else not to use a respirator, I'm saying I have no concerns of fumes from the 3:1 TotalBoat. When I turn it on my lathe is a different story. Ken

[@chellegriggs]

I bought these items through your links...can't wait to create with my grandbabies. I don't have the resin yet, is total boat what I would use? And is it safe for children? Probably silly question, I saw a horrible video of a woman that had been doing resin on cups (without ventilation) he she ended up getting sick and she is saying she thinks it's because of the resin. I know if I choose to do resin I will use an air mask of some sort, but wasn't I'm assuming if the weather is good, outside would be best?

[@MoonpieCreations]

I saw that video also. I use 2:1 Slow (I am thinking of getting Fast). I mix it without a mask and have never had an issue. BUT, you should always use a mask, gloves and safety glasses when handling resin. A respirator it highly advised while turning it. No matter what someone says you are still handling chemicals. The Resin I use was originally made for fiberglass boats so we are sort of repurposing it. Is resin safe for kids? It was not made for kids, but with proper safety and supervision I think (this is my own personal opinion) that they will be alright. Ken

Question: I too bought alcohol ink from "Let's Resin". The instructions say to add one drop of colored alcohol ink in and ONE drop of white on top of it. Also, says not to stir the resin after ou add the alcohol ink . Now it's talking about making a petri dish? So can I assume this instruction is only for a petri dish? And is petri dish like the round mold?

Lily, I would say yes it is for the petri dish look. YOu can do it on any of the molds for coasters. But when doing a pour you should add and mix to what you want it to look like. Remember the Inks darken over a few minutes. So you may want to do a few drops mix and wait. Ken

use an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner machine to get rid of bubbles. When they come to the surface I torch them. This way you eliminate a ton of bubles and micro bubbles I also pop any pesky bibbles in the mold with a torch. You have to be quick with the torch, don't hold it in one place

I don't know if someone commented this or not, but alcohol inks have a really cool affect when you use them properly. You can use them like you did for the blue heart dish. But usually its one drop of color, then drop one drop of white into the center of that colorful spot you had made. And just continue that process until you get your desired affect. You will see the alcohol ink reacting with the white almost instantly, the colors with move around and spread. And in the end, it will have a cool looking 'petri dish' affect to it! I hope this helps, but sorry if someone already said this!

@@MoonpieCreations Mhm! Yeah I agree, it is cool. Okay I hope you enjoy making said creation with the inks :)

[@garythomas6866]

Looks like a lot of fun, the colors are super, thanks for sharing.

[@MoonpieCreations]

I was surprised at the blue and purple. They were super vivid. This could become addictive. Ken

[@Fa5npretty]

Hey do you guys take requests to make molds?

[@MoonpieCreations]

If you head down the the website in the description for Let's Resin, they may be able to help you.

[@audreyscreations8123]

How long does it take to dry?

[@sapnarao6112]

You don't use a organic vapour respirator mask is that safe?

[@MoonpieCreations]

I know some people have issues with resins, but this resin really doesn't put off fume. The people who have issues with it might be allergic to it. I've worked with some resins that have a noxious order, but TotalBoat isn't one of them.

[@patriciaallen9495]

How long does it take for the epoxy resin to dry inside of the molds??

[@MoonpieCreations]

Using TotalBoat 2:1 slow around 4 hours.

[@bubblemum]

Most of the fun of resin is experimenting!

[@MoonpieCreations]

So true.

[@steeleforce13]

Very amazing crafts. Did you both wait 24hrs to cure it all or used some UV device??

[@MoonpieCreations]

The 2:1 takes about 4 hours to become hard enough to handle. 8 hours is best.

[@steeleforce13]

@@MoonpieCreations ok thanks in advance!

[@moonchildtarot222]

Did your resin bottles come with the pumps?

[@MoonpieCreations]

Yes all total boat gallons go out with corresponding pump

[@SteveC38]

Great video Ken! It looks like loads of fun for the whole family!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Steve, I was sceptical when they sent me the molds, dyes and pigments, but wow, that purple was vivid. I haven't been able to get that from the Jacgaurd Alcohol inks. I think I will use them in a bowl soon. Oh and yes it was super fun. Ken.

[@laylapennington940]

Just subscribed, but it’s precious how Leanne thinks of her grand baby’s in everything! Ok so I’m wanting to begin my resin journey with small jewelry charms, how long does the resin need to sit in order to cure completely? Approximately,....

[@MoonpieCreations]

Depending on the resin it can take 16-20 hours to fully cure. I usually turn my bowls in about 8-12 hours. Hahaha she lives for those kids.

[@mikebass823]

Cool ideas👍👍😎

[@mireyaquintero7259]

If I want to add glitter can I use it too, I’m new to this, thank you

[@MoonpieCreations]

Yes you can add glitter to the resin. I think it adds a cool effect.

[@archfiendonyx6130]

Absolutely

[@lesigmo]

I have used Let's Resin for a few years - have never been disappointed with any of their products - and, they are always packaged so nicely !!!

[@MoonpieCreations]

The only issues I have had are the reaction of some of the inks with certain types of resin. Thanks

[@ninaselwell]

You two melt my heart. I love your love. 🥺

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you ❤

[@beverlyfrederick7670]

Especially loved the blue box. I too worried when you torched. They always say do not torch or even heat gun in a mold... apparently can very easily ruin the molds and they cost too much to ruin.

[@MoonpieCreations]

These were pretty sturdy. I have used them many times since.

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Very nice intense staring!

[@MoonpieCreations]

Thank you, I work on it regularly. Drives her nuts lol Ken

[@chevyracings10]

wanting to try resin art actually thank you for the video. how do you get the air bubbles out? how long does it take to dry? and what did you use the blo torch for???

[@MoonpieCreations]

Hey J, I used a pressure pot on this to get all the bubbles out. You could use a vacuum too. TotalBoat Resin takes about 72 hours to fully cure but I can usually start turning it within 8 hours. Any heat source will work to get bubbles out.

[@annheard8280]

[@janelollipop2759]

Which is better mica powder/pearl pigment

[@MoonpieCreations]

Mica and alcohol pigments both have their goods and bads. Then you get into pearled and translucent. Bothe are good. It all depends on what you are trying to do.
