[@natalyavitkin3684]

Stunning coasters! I love your work so much! What kind of liquid latex do you use for the bottom?

[@MoonkusserArt]

Thank you! 😁 The liquid latex brand is “Creature” on Amazon. Best price I found 👍🏻

[@judysmalley1952]

Really lovely! Merry Christmas!🎄

Thank you! You too!🎄

[@hinge777]

those are amazing, im just getting into this hobby and your videos are really helping me

[@MoonkusserArt]

Thank you. 😊 Glad my tutorials are helpful 💕

[@hinge777]

@@MoonkusserArt maybe you can answer my question. Why do the alcohol inks work better with some resins then other? I have some art resin I used today and the ink didn't do anything like it did with the cheap resin I got from Michael's. Is it just trial and error?

[@MoonkusserArt]

I have found the same thing. It seems to me that thicker resin works better with alcohol inks sinking through to the bottom. You can also try timing of thinner resin anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes so it thickens and then add the alcohol ink.

[@RixFlix.PE.Sounds]

Love these coasters

[@MoonkusserArt]

Thank you 😊

[@RixFlix.PE.Sounds]

I'm just started to learn how to do these myself , I have all the essentials ready tried a few attempts but not happy with the results , So looking at you for some inspiration, Thank you .

[@tazminmoore455]

These are just so stunning 😍😍, absolutely love them. Perfect for xmas. A trivet or cheese board to go with them would be cool, too😀

[@MoonkusserArt]

Thanks Tazmin 😁. Maybe a geode tray! 💜

[@kathryncampbell3302]

Stunning work! Why did you add alcohol to the 2 and not the other?

[@MoonkusserArt]

It makes different reactions that way

[@Leanne-xy3rt]

beautiful what the name of the stuff you spray to help the coasters last longer if you dont mind sharing thank you

[@MoonkusserArt]

Thanks 😁 Spray used is Castin’ Craft Mold Release & Conditioner 👍🏻

[@Eandcostudio]

I’ve been trying and trying this technique- I only have crafting cast white opaque pigment paste will that be good to use for the white paste?

[@MoonkusserArt]

Casting Craft white is not a highly pigmented paste. You can try adding 10% pigment to the quantity of your resin to make it as opaque as possible

[@boardgame.oclock]

Thank you for such helpful and informative videos. I had a question. Suppose I don't get the white where I live. What can be an alternate for it?

[@boardgame.oclock]

Can a white acrylic be used instead? Or will that not create the same effect?

[@MoonkusserArt]

White acrylic paint will not give the same effect. Many artists like Castin Craft resin pigment but I don’t think it is as heavily pigmented as FlowArt Liquid Pigment. Hope that helped.

[@Terraann85]

Is the flowart a good white for waves?

[@MoonkusserArt]

It does beautifully! Check it out in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m56on4hop5yNfZI

[@Terraann85]

I literally have EVERYTHING but the bling it silver! It’s impossible to find 😫 anything I can substitute?

[@MoonkusserArt]

I looked at some of my pigments to see what could work. Jacquard's Pearl Ex - Antique Silver is the best match as alternative. Did you contact ColourArte to see when they will get the True Silver in stock again? Leslie is always very helpful.

[@Terraann85]

Where can I get the bling it silver? 🙏🏼

[@Terraann85]

@@MoonkusserArt I’ve noticed 😭 I have been following you and buying everything you use in certain videos but I end up with nearly all but one and then I’m like well shoot… now I can’t do this ☹️

[@Terraann85]

@@MoonkusserArt I can find bling it abalone shell & bling it angel wings… would either of those work?

[@MoonkusserArt]

Sorry you are having a tough time getting products. You could try contacting ColourArte to see what they recommend as a replacement color. Angel Wings appears to have a blueish/greenish tint to it. Abalone Shell might work nicely.

[@2oceanside]

The coasters I have are absorbent. Doesn’t the liquid roll off of resin coasters?

[@MoonkusserArt]

They are big but I suppose it could.

[@superdup9118]

Is crow made still in business? Website link is not working.😢

[@MoonkusserArt]

Does not look as if they are in business 🥲

[@Terraann85]

Okay mine look NOTHING like that 😂😂

[@MoonkusserArt]

No worries. When I try to repeat a project, I am experiencing the same 😊

[@Terraann85]

@@MoonkusserArt lol yours are sooo pretty! Mine are absolutely hideous 😂 I think the resin I was using was crap tho. It started to cure like 30 mins in and I couldn’t even drizzle the clear at the end or move it around with a tooth pick

[@MoonkusserArt]

@@Terraann85 if your resin was curing that quickly it definitely affected your process. I always say that I learn my best lessons from my mistakes. Now you know that resin won't work well in this application.
