PVA Glue and Resin - Can you Guess What Happens?

This video: PVA Glue and Resin - Can you Guess What Happens? shows how epoxy resin reacts when you add PVA Glue. I was surprised by the reaction and the outcome of this experiment.

I never would have thought you could get away with this one! I figured the PVA would have way too much water content. Thanks for doing all these 'experiments' and saving me the time of doing it myself!

I was guessing sticky, bendy mess but they came out perfectly, brilliant! Certainly saves buying white pigment :)

[@galady8632]

Such a creative concept, the end result was a nice surprise! I have watched videos with poor results after adding liquid to resin. Your experiment helped us learn ways to stretch our resin investment and create softer tones of the colors we already own. Plus your delightful humor is always welcome. (I appreciate your remarks regarding being messy. For me being able to find humor in the process is the sign of a happy and very creative mind. Enjoying the process should be as important as the end result - otherwise, what is the point?) Thank you for 'keeping it real' - and entertaining. Wishing you and yours all the best.

the all pva is the blue one? does pva give off toxic fumes? can you use pva in the house with pets?

[@cjstewart7530]

kewl project as always Steve! tysm! i wonder what would happen if you had clear resin in the mold then spread a glob of the pva thru it while the resin was still wet ... would it have time to meld with the resin... would it just make tht spot weak.. would it make a pretty lil white cloudy area...🤔 always giving us so many new ideas Steve!❤❤❤tfs!

How long do they stay colorful or do they loose shin over time?

Does the PVA glue dry white? Most if not all that I've seen dry clear or mostly clear.

Really surprised...thought if any moisture...like water from the PVA...got in the resin...it would ruin it...stay safe...press on 😎

[@Dr.Hansen]

Did you try to dissolve them afterwards?

[@bestwaymarketing8356]

we wand to bond poly propline with poly propline, how this will be possible. Thanks in advance for guidance.

[@ennisskalski719]

I'd be interested to know if the white one is still white now. Since PVA is meant to dry clear. I think it's possible the outside layers dried clear, but then because the resin inhibits air flow or whatever it is that dries PVA the PVA suspended inside isn't fully cured. If that's the case then maybe a year plus on it won't be so white, but more translucent.

[@marcees7320]

Sorry, but was the last one “blue” without any resin? Love your experiments 🧪.

[@jennifermassey9051]

I actually think you are as messy as I am! Believe me, that’s saying something! 😂❤️

[@tazminmoore455]

This is very interesting😀. Does PVA glue contain water, I thought it did. Using clear PVA might stop the colours lightening if you wanted to retain original shade perhaps. When I am able I shall try some pva in resin😀 . Hope you had a nice xmas.

[@Dizzy0360]

DO we know if there is a way to get Glow in the dark paint to work well, anyone know the mix ???

[@djshotzy]

If you use a resin that is heat resistant would the pva effect the heat resistance?

[@alymetz2020]

Whenever you add anything to a resin it automatically bulls whatever the box says... Like if you take resin and mix with colors/glitters and the box said it was safe for ___ then it automatically nullified the statement, because you are changing up the composition.

[@Lawliet76]

hey...I added glitter glue in resin but it's not curing....its been 24 hours but it's still sticky....other resin pieces are cured accept one with glitter glue....what should I do

@@amandageyer795 ummm yeah there are videos on how to use Elmer's Glue All not School Glue, add water mix very well, then add that to your paint you want the glue all and water mix to be more than the paint, just like you would with Floeteol or pouring medium of any kind. I don't prefer it since it causes cracks in the paint if you don't use enough water, the paint and mixture dries and it will crack, I have had a few issues with the correct ratio so I just bought Floetrol when I got enough money

@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts sweet! Well Glue All isn't the school glue that is a different type of glue, it isn't made for kids as much.
