Cute, how do you make those clear pieces that you put in your silicone?

Hello 👋 thank you for watching we design and cut them ourselves with our silhouette cameo cutter. We have the svg available in our shop.

[@princessitaparadios]

can u show me how to make the vinyl in the cricut (scrub Life ) i already buy the svg from you but i am new

[@deborahlunsford23]

What type os resin do you use

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

In the video I used promarine, now I’m using kresin or artistry epoxy it all depends really I don’t have a preference but all three mentioned are good.

[@elpapipolo]

Great video very informative 👍 i have a few questions though I want to try out but not how to go about doing so my questions is more with the paint and vinyl

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

We can help what is your question regarding the paint and vinyl?

[@elpapipolo]

@@sweetcfmermaids1790 I want to try something with lime green paint and vinyl not sure if it will work tho its for a car emblem

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

If what your using to make the car emblem is resin/epoxy you can use paint to mix with your epoxy as long is not an oil base type of paint. You can make the piece mix paint into it once dried insert your vinyl the do a top coat of cleat epoxy/Resin on top of your finish piece. It’s what we call doming your piece. Hope that makes since. The only issue I would see is the epoxy/resin doesn’t do well in high heat. Some do but not all of them.

[@elpapipolo]

@@sweetcfmermaids1790 so the resin/epoxy can't withstand outside temperature at all

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

There are some epoxy/resins that withstands certain amount of heat. But I honestly don’t recommend a piece for outside only use. Maybe you can try fiberglass.

[@kimberlydorsey5727]

How do you make the clear pieces that you are creating molds from?

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

Thank you for watching! They are made with our silhouette software made into SVG then cut with the Glowforge laser.

[@Deslouches1]

Hello, can you please make a video about how to make the acrylic blanks. Thank you.

[@LYNNETTEVMACK-ic4kh]

Where did you get your molds from😮

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

Thank you for watching! We design and cut all our pieces for the molds.

[@deborahlunsford23]

What epoxy brand do you use

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

Hello, I don’t have a specific brand of epoxy to use but I do recommend artistry epoxy it’s the latest I been using and so far it’s a good product.

[@latrinafletcher2965]

How did you make the original design in order to make the molds

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

I design my pieces on my computer I use Corel draw

[@latrinafletcher2965]

Sweet Mermaids okay, then after you design on the computer, what’s next? I’m soooo new to this

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

Then the design is sent to cut on our Glowforge laser cutter 😃 we use 1/8 acrylic to make our master piece. Once that is done we move to the next step which is molding 😃

[@sheylatorres8478]

Where can I get the vinyl measurements?

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

Hello thank you for watching! The measurements are listed in the svg file on my Etsy shop.

[@gourdhead22]

How many times does the mold last. Just wondered the longevity of the silicone mold.

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

You can get a good used out of your mold depending on the care you give it. Always wash them with soap and water only. Don’t use torches or toothpicks to bust bubbles.

[@sallypoultney4331]

How thick are your molds? The bus looks thinner in the mold then your actual bus you showed with how you put on the vinyl and then resin them. The scrub looked thicker in the mold. Also, where did you get the heart and half hearts to make the straw mold? Do you create?

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

The acrylic pieces are all 1/8 all our acrylic pieces are designed, and cut by us with our laser cutter.

[@nikki3321100]

Just purchase your molds on Etsy!!! Thanks so much!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

Thank you so much for watching and your purchase 😊

[@rachelhernandez3145]

With that type of silicone that you used for the molds, does it ever make the resin come out cloudy on the side facing down? That’s the issue I keep having with the liquid rubber I used to make my molds.

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

The cloudiness you are referring to means your mold is not shining, there are shiny molds and opaque molds. The shiny molds makes your resins piece to look shiny and vice versa. Hope I explain that correctly and didn’t confuse you.

[@allthatglittersisglorias3414]

Did you ever make the tutorial on how to make the acrylic piece to make your mold?

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

Thank you for watching, I did make one I just haven't gotten to upload it :-(

[@lauraarozarena4391]

Hi thank you for your video. How long do you leave them in the mold for? Or do you need a UV light for them to get hard?

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

Thank you for watching! The resin I use the pieces are ready to be demolded in 12 hours. UV light it’s not recommended with the type of silicone I’m using.

[@lauraarozarena4391]

@@sweetcfmermaids1790 thank you. What resin do you use if you don’t mind ?

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

I use ProArt Resin by ProMarine

can you change the color of the mold? Please share new follower Thanks!

[@sweetcfmermaids1790]

Hi! Thank you for watching! You can change the color of the mold only if your using the white or clear silicone as in Dragon Skin silicone for example. The mold star 15 slow cannot be colored changed.
