Hi. I use Piccassio UV Resin which is a premium quality Resin, but the distributors are few and recently they've been unreliable. So in spite of my love for Piccassio, I'm looking for alternative brands that cures hard (non tacky) and clear. My first question to you is, how is the Let's Resin brand UV resin regarding hard/non-tacky curing? Second question is how is the viscosity? Thin? Thick? I have a larger 36 Watt Let's Resin UV light, which I love. I'm just looking for an alternative UV resin given the issues I am having with Piccassio distributors. I hope to switch to Let's Resin UV resin. Your answers could help me to inform my decision. Thank you very much in advance for any feedback you can offer. For the record, I am not a novice, so I'm quite familiar with layering, application of alcohol inks, mica powder, dilution of resin due to additives, under lighting before demolding, etc. Cheers! Erik

I haven’t had any issues with the Let’s resin UV resin being sticky and it cures hard. With any UV resin, there is a ‘cool down’ period right after curing where there’s a ‘rubber’ tackiness, but it goes away after a minute or so once it’s cools down. I’d say the viscosity is on the thinner side of standard. But it still will dome nicely. Have you checked out JDiction UV resins? I’ve only used the regular one, so far, but they do also have high and low viscosities available. Here’s one of the videos I’ve done using it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6mraWaAftObZpY Hope that helps!

Thank so much for your prompt reply I will try both just to make sure which one I like best you do cure in the Clearcast 7050 with the UV lamp I am sorry for asking you so many question its just I want to learn every thing I can now you said that you like the clearcast 7050 why ? does it work better and what about the odor I try to order the kit but it was not in stock so i will try later thank you again many bessing for you and your family oh if you ever need a special prayer please let me know.

[@JOTZdesigns]

Happy to help! Epoxy resin cures by mixing the two parts together (correctly). Depending on the epoxy used, it can take up to 24 hours to cure. Clearcast 7050 is good for jewelry, has little odor, and cure in about 6-10 hours (pouring in molds always takes longer than pouring as a layer on something). Definitely watch more epoxy videos if you’re looking to try it out, too. Here’s one on how to mix it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6eleGpnrLCZba8

[@kerriabate1042]

I still haven't tried uv resin. It looks fun but seems like it can be finicky.

[@JOTZdesigns]

Definitely try it! I’d say all types of resin are finicky, but UV resin is much less finicky than epoxy resin. The big thing to remember is it needs the UV light to cure… So make sure you don’t expose it to UV light until you’re ready (including keeping it away from window light); don’t add too much colorant/embellishments to make it opaque, otherwise the UV light can’t penetrate through and cure everything; and use the translucent molds only so the light can penetrate through the mold. The best part is it only takes minutes to cure, and you aren’t waiting hours while hoping it turns out ok! Thanks for watching! ☺️🧡

[@kerriabate1042]

@@JOTZdesigns I will definitely try it out sometime soon. Idk why I keep chickening out lol. Thanks for the advice! ❤️

[@JOTZdesigns]

That first time is always the hardest to get through! Just start small, and on nothing important, and you’ll be good! ☺️

Hi my name is Raquel I need to ask you a question I have a Glow in the dark power I get this a long time ago at amazon my question is can you use this glow in the dark power to my resin in the box it says GENTLE TO SKIN, WATER-BASED, UV LIGHT CHARGING, LONG LASTING I just wanted to ask you iif you know if i can use the powers i just love the way you teach thank you for this tutorial i am a beginner brand new to this i make wire jewelry so i saw it and l said i must try it

[@JOTZdesigns]

Hi! Yes you can use the glow in the dark powder in UV resin. You can use glitters, mica powders, and matte powders, too. The biggest thing you want to watch out for when using it in UV resin is that you don’t make it too opaque because you then run into the possibility of not being able to cure the resin all the way through. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching! 🧡☺️

[@raquelreyes8573]

Thank you for your prompt reply where can i see another of your tutorials in resin

[@JOTZdesigns]

You’re welcome! Most of my videos are resin related. Most are epoxy resin, but in this playlist you can see the ones I’ve done with UV resin. kzbin.info/aero/PLx7Pf5A8e8pyF4XBbTtozJoMzyzK8rfmU

[@raquelreyes8573]

once again thank you for you prompt reply one question what is the different between UV Resin and epoxy resin

[@JOTZdesigns]

UV resin is cured by exposing it to UV light (lamp or sun). Epoxy resin is a two-part resin that will only cure when you mix part A (resin) and part B (hardener) together in the correct ratios (either weight or volume). A lot of epoxy resins are 1:1 ratio, but my favorite, Clearcast 7050 from the Epoxy Resin Store, is 2:1 ratio. Just be sure to always read the directions for whatever resin you use to make sure you are measuring correctly!

[@tracygillon6078]

They definitely r qute,plz can u tell me if u need to wear goggles with that lamp u have.Thank you Tracy x.

[@JOTZdesigns]

I’ve never seen requirements for using goggles when using UV lamps. However, I do try to avoid looking at the lights. You can always block the open side(s) by placing aluminum foil in front. That will also help cure the item(s) as it bounces the light around more inside. Thanks for watching! 🧡☺️

[@CynthiaEmbry]

I have this kit and I can’t get the resin cured properly doing everything correctly and even not adding colors. Could I have a bad batch of resin ? Is that even possible ?

[@JOTZdesigns]

It is possible to have a bad batch, but quite rare. Please give me information on what you’re doing. Are you using a mold or bezel? What steps are you taking and how long are you curing the resin for? Have you tried sunlight?

[@CynthiaEmbry]

@@JOTZdesigns I am using the same molds you used and the light provided. I haven’t tried sunlight as we haven’t had much. I just ordered a new light to try that. I use thin layers. I turn over and do the backs too with the light. The last layer always ends up gooey. And I’ve tried curing for more minutes but still gooey.

[@JOTZdesigns]

Ok, it does sound more like maybe you got a faulty light. You can always try contacting them about it through their website, and see if they’ll help or have any suggestions for you. I hope everything works out for you soon!

[@trishasmith2303]

Hello I know this was 8months ago but I’m wanting to get into resin and wondered if you have to use uv ink or paste with uv resin? Or can you use any kind of ink/paste with UV resin?

[@JOTZdesigns]

You really can you just about anything. Keep in mind that if it’s opaque (even too much glitter) will cause curing issues. Things that are water or oil based (including acrylic paint and inks) can also cause curing issues, so use them sparingly. Thanks for watching! 🧡☺️

[@trishasmith2303]

@@JOTZdesigns thank you!

[@jennamichelephotography1755]

really glad to see you wearing gloves in the recent videos! I was going to suggest that for your health, and to not give people misinformation about how to work with resin safely.

[@JOTZdesigns]

Thank you for watching! My videos are not to teach people safety, they are to show how I create. I am not responsible for other people’s safety, nor am I required to include safety information in my videos. To be perfectly honest, I’ve been wearing gloves in the entirety of my videos lately due to fingernail issues I’ve been dealing with for the past two years. Recently I’ve refrained from polishing them, to hide it, and working with my doctor to solve the issue. They are unsightly, and no one wants/needs to see that. Had I not had this current issue, I most likely would have not worn gloves in this particular video as I know I’d not be getting UV resin on my hands, which is why you’d wear gloves. Again, it is not my responsibility to teach safety, but thanks for your concern! Happy crafting!

[@BillierenaMars]

Question. Why do u think it goes sticky?? I have tried a few stuff,but still sticky. 🤷‍♀️

[@JOTZdesigns]

If it’s still sticky, then it’s not fully cured. Some reasons for that are: Not curing long enough. Too opaque - either the additives and/or mold. Your UV light has gone bad. Adding too many things that prevent the resin from curing properly - ie. alcohol inks, acrylic paint, silicone oil. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching! 🧡☺️

Most nail lamps can be used, but depending on the wattage it could take longer to cure. Something you’ll have to test with the lamp you have. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching! 🧡🙂

do the resin bottles make funny noises when getting empty

[@JOTZdesigns]

If you mean similar to ketchup bottles, yes. All bottles will. Thanks for watching!

[@shawnhill3866]

can you do a video where you allow it to make those noises when getting low.

[@shawnhill3866]

yes similar to ketchup bottles. I think the resin bottle would be different though because of the longer tips. Id like to see. Thank you for the reply

[@JOTZdesigns]

@shawnhill3866 I think I will pass, but it sounds like farts, just like any other plastic bottle does when getting low.
