My resin process for rocks -Video by Susan Nelson

This video just shows you how I do my resin. 👈
Please look at all safety info and supplies from the manufacture‼️
I use ArtResin and purchase it on Amazon. Watch the volume as they often tell you the total volume of both bottles (not each).
I use plastic Tupperware containers with lids for all the rocks to sit in while they cure.
For molded rocks I put them on parchment or a silicone type surface so the paint doesn’t pull off when I remove .
Web sites like AliExpress or Wish have a ton of products that you can use at a very good price. Just do a search to find what you need.
Liquid Crystal from Solar Color dust Is thr fluid I use to make thr colour change stuff . Comes In different applications, pens, airbrush and paint on .

I know it has been a couple of years but condolences on your loss of Ginger. Your memorial rock is exactly what I want to do for my babies who have passed. Thank you for this video.

What a beautiful surprise what you've done with rocks!

[@gwendolynsantiago2091]

Thank you so much!! I'm so happy I stumbled upon your channel!!💛

[@rhondamagee7459]

Thank you!

[@Jodysfunstuff]

I buy Art resin also but Ive never had those red caps on my bottles. Hmmm? Glad you mentioned about not grabbing the same bottle twice. Been there and and what I did was apply another coat and it cured fine in case it happens to anyone.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Yes I think we have all done it at least once :( ArtResin has their own KZbin channel and I found their info very helpful. Thx Jody ❤️

[@sburkes69]

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Thank you! It’s important to protect your Heath ❤️

[@monicamees7598]

Thanks for the information using resin!! Can’t wait to try it!

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Most welcome! 🥰

[@cah7767]

Thank you for this video. I've tried using resin, but I get a hazy blob on the bottom of the stones once dried. Too much resin, setting them on wax paper, not sure. I'm going to follow your video and see if I'm more successful. Beautiful colors and designs, very talented.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Make sure your stone is well dried before resin. It may be the cement not being fully dried. Less is always better too. :)

[@pamcarr4003]

Thanks so much Susan, very informative! I like your rock creations too, very colorful!! 💜 is there a mold you get for the rocks you make? I haven't been able to find any. Great channel and I've subscribed! Thanks again! Pam 🙋

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

My larger molded rocks I make from molds from Happy Dotting Company on Etsy. The little heart molds i purchased on AliExpress amd search silicone heart molds. The little tiny ones I made are just a paint tray well, I got that at a dollar store :)

[@localgal501]

When I resin my rocks, it seems like the bottoms get really bumpy and you can’t read my signature or the number that I put on it. Plus when I wear my gloves, it feels like the resin gets through it because my hands are sticky and I’ve tried everything to get it. Clean alcohol, vinegar, Clorox wipes. Nothing seems to work. Do you have any suggestions?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Your gloves are not thick enough. Try doubling up. If your putting too much resin you may get pooling. So you don’t need much at all. If you resin on moulded stones you defiantly need to put something under the rock. I put felt on mine afterwards because I like the soft bottom for when they sit on tables. I don’t care if my signature gets covered but I know other want to see it so I just change the placement . So try less resin Wear thicker gloves Maybe look at a better surface to sit them on. Some people try pins in styrofoam ( too fussy for me) I experimented a lot over the years and you will figure out what works for you too. But protect your skin, eyes!!

[@shesheyancy4564]

How do you prevent your rocks from sticking and the paint being pulled off the bottom. It looks like we use the same kind of container for our rocks. I keep them in a warm room and I don't try to pull them off until 24 hours. I keep them in the container from an additional 48 hours to completely cure. Thanks for you response and help.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I do show some options around that for moulded stones. Did you see the entire video? Parchment paper, silicone surfaces prevent that.

[@justine9980]

Thank you Susan, this was so helpful!

[@sheilaegeland]

Thank you for sharing.....looking forward To get started...question do you have a video making the rocks, along with molds, by any chance. I haven't been surfing lol

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I did do one showing me making my rocks . If there was something specific please let me know :)

[@jenniferbayliss3411]

This is an excellent resin tutorial thank you. I have the one from michaels but I haven’t tried it yet. Where in Victoria did you find the art resin?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Opus or Island Blue carry ArtResin . I think island blue gives a discount if your a member of our rock painting group “Vancouver Island Painted Rocks”. On Facebook

[@jenniferbayliss3411]

@@SusanNelsonCreations oh wow thank you I’ve never heard of those places

[@Shastabailey]

Thanks Susan. Do you think that a hairdryer or heat gun would work as well?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I don’t use them because of the potential of blowing fluff onto my rocks. If you don’t have a torch there are other things you can do to get rid of bubbles. Some use a spritz of alcohol I think, straw .

[@evpatch]

What is that paint that changes color? thank you

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I have another video that shows the colour changing fluid demonstrated. I think it is low down in my list.

[@lynncrosbie1200]

Where do you get the colour changing paint?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

I think I put a link in the video description :)

[@debbie-suefelton1021]

I didn’t see the information in the description either. LOVED to video! Thank you!

[@laurathomson5322]

Where is the best place to get the mask?

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

The one I purchased I bought on Amazon. But any hardware store has them.
