Resin Art Coasters - How to use alcohol inks on resin coasters using a mold

[@patrickcahill7998]

It’s 11pm during the coronavirus lockdown. On an ordinary day I’d be fast asleep before having to wake up early for the daily grind. But instead with this apocalyptic global event, I’m high AF learning how to make resin art. And I’m f***ing loving it. ☯️

[@EdnaWargon]

Good for you Patrick, we all need a break from the news, keep high on art and keep on loving it 😅💕💕💕

[@threecharacters1159]

where did you buy your molds?

[@EdnaWargon]

In the description in this video 💘

[@KirstieBasford]

Omg I love this mold!!!!

[@JMoPainting]

These are so beautiful! I love them, thank you for sharing your process!

[@EdnaWargon]

Thanks so much J ! :)

[@junesanchez9446]

I.....made a mess !! Hahaha! Beautiful work, I tried but it seems I’m better at watching these than executing them.

[@EdnaWargon]

Oh June, perseverance is everything when it comes to creativity so just try again and I'm sure you'll manage eventually, that's half of fun 😍😍😍💓

[@MarisasMoonlitCreations]

Great idea!!! We should inspire one another. That's beautiful☺👍

[@cassiealesagapeinspiredcre853]

Agreed!

[@naptimecreations]

Absolutely gorgeous, I love this idea. You make it look so easy. For me inks are a lot harder than it looks. Yours are lovely 💜💜💜

[@EdnaWargon]

Thanks so much, it was a lot of fun!

[@pharaohzhoundz]

What is that big purple one???

[@agarwal1611]

Hi.... It's just beautiful 😍.....Is it necessary to use isopropyl alcohol?

[@EdnaWargon]

It acts a blending solution so yes, I would use it.

[@diannefirth1621]

Absolutely delightful! Where, please tell, do you get the tiny bottles with the accurate pourer and what is the gun you are using?

[@EdnaWargon]

The airgun and the quilling bottles were from Amazon 😆😆😆

[@tahiraaamer3114]

Can we use hair dryer instead of air gun

[@EdnaWargon]

@@tahiraaamer3114 I'd say no.

[@CarynCraggs]

You are so talented Edna, thank you for sharing. I love these.

[@Kristin2007]

hi! is that a heat gun you’re using? i wanna make sure it’s safe to use on the alcohol. also do you have a link for the alcohol inks you’re using?

[@EdnaWargon]

Hi you can use a heat gun but on very low but I prefer an embossing tool as I use and if you watch some of my other videos explain more about these tools if not you could just use an air compressor or a blow dryer works just as well 🥰

[@informedandfree9828]

These are lovely! Using the brand of resin you do, and given your experience, how long should one wait until the coasters are resilient enough to use with a hot upon tea?

[@EdnaWargon]

It's a great question which I get asked a lot and there is just one simple answer it really does depend on the BRAND of resin that you use and I use many different ones depending on what I have in stock and what I can order in. However my advice is, if your resin says cured in 48 hours, 2days, double it! that's to say before you put a cup of tea on it wait 4 days instead. However even this formula isn't 100-percent as again each resin company has their own components and their own recipe and you will have to do trial and error tests with each resin that you buy before you use them.

[@informedandfree9828]

Good idea. I believe I will wait two months before I test my trivits I made from countertop resin that says it’s fully cured in 30 days.

[@mltbkr]

these are so beautiful...what resin did you use? where did you get your molds from?

[@EdnaWargon]

The molds are available on my online shop but i only have a few left in stock. shop.wargon.net/index.php?id_product=72&rewrite=1-slicone-coaster-mold-agate-geode-style&controller=product&id_lang=1

[@malz1_624]

That’s fascinating💜 and i wanna ask if there’s another name for “pinata brass”?

[@EdnaWargon]

Jacquard-Piñata ?

[@展昭-f7k]

Thanks for the tutorial, after I blow dry the alcohol ink,I fill the mold with resin, and the colors of ink seems like disappeared... Why?? Did I do anything wrong?

[@EdnaWargon]

You need to seal it with varnish first 🙂

[@pharaohzhoundz]

You make things look so easy to do! 😊

[@katiesharp4480]

Hi Edna! Thank you for sharing this video. Incredibly helpful as I’m new to the game of alcohol ink coasters. I was wondering if there was a brand or two of resin you’d recommend for beginners. I’ve tried one and it seems no matter what I do it leaves craters and fisheyes. Pours out almost like water! Help! Thanks in advance! 🙂

[@EdnaWargon]

Hi Katie, please check out the description or any of my other videos to see what epoxy i use 😉

[@carolynboyd616]

What kind of gold paint do you use of the edges of your coasters?

[@EdnaWargon]

HI Frank, I made sure I showed it in the video, Its a gold leaf liquid.

[@harajukuLoverrrrr]

Can you leave a link to the plain acrylic white you added to the resin? Also how long do we wait for it to harden?

[@EdnaWargon]

You need to wait at least 24hours if you're using the same brand of resin as I am :)

[@suekruger8525]

Gorgeous what was the resin you used thankyou

[@EdnaWargon]

Depends on my stock :)

[@annpoitras7875]

Beautiful !! How do they hold up when setting a hot coffee on them ?

[@EdnaWargon]

Hi Ann, in general i advise my customers not to use resin coasters for hot mugs. They leave marks on the surface.

[@dragorsi]

But how did they get sparkly in the end? 😍

[@EdnaWargon]

I used a touch of ignition dust in the clear top coat from here: just4youonlineuk.com/products/white-ignition-dust?_pos=1&_sid=1345a9b80&_ss=r. For a 10% discount use my code EdnaWargon10 :-)

[@usherl250]

Very pretty Edna...when I do the tops of my tri met jars....I always put a layer of white resin down and then do my design with the inks...they show up much vibrant in a white background. I love these

[@EdnaWargon]

HI Laura, thanks :) its a fab idea so glad I tried it, and you're right, white background is best :)

[@karinakazakovskaja8283]

Very nice! What is the name of this colour or brand? Thank you

[@IlaVarma72]

Which dryer u r using

[@EdnaWargon]

A small hair curler dryer.

[@lilycessna3077]

Wowzas all you did is make resin molds, squirt some alcohol, followed by some alcohol ink? What were you using as your gold accenting? It looked heavier.

[@resinart2098]

I'm doing these today. Will tag you on Instagram ..not sure if you even have Insragram! Thankyou so much

[@EdnaWargon]

Of course I do 🤪 @edna.wargon.art

[@yoanitararachma5515]

Theyre so beautiful, anw what's the name for the gold liquid on 23:47? Is it have to be applied before the top coat or after? And what's the brand name for the top coat? I really want to make some as hampers for my family. Thank you for sharing edna ❤️

[@angelagalvezversoza1663]

Glad I found your video! I’m pretty new in this resin art. I’d like to know if this technique works on a dark background?

[@EdnaWargon]

Hi, I've never tried it on a dark background but I'm not sure the inks would show as well, you could always try it and see how it goes 🥰

[@merryspiro5117]

Thanks Merry, happy you found this technique useful 🥰🥰🥰

[@mahnaskish4809]

Thank you so much for tutorial. They are absolutely gorgeous! What is the gold line you draw to separate the white part from the ink design? It doesn't look like alcohol gold ink if there is any.

[@EdnaWargon]

Hi thanks for your lovely comment, yes it is alcohol ink using a paintbrush.

[@Lenareville]

If you don’t mind me asking, what acrylic paint u use for the coasters ? Thank you

Do you have a link to these molds by any chance ?? I love them so much and I am in canada and cannot seem to find any. TiA

[@roshondasmith49]

If you don’t have a airbrush gun can you use a straw or just blow with your mouth

[@EdnaWargon]

A hairdryer will do instead but yes a straw too 👍

[@LovenEverythingNails]

At 3:20 what is this tool called that you are using to move the colors around ?

[@EdnaWargon]

Its the usual small hairdryer i use in all my ink tutorials 😍

[@surfandprotect]

Do my colors maybe lift the ink because I heated the top coat resin?

[@EdnaWargon]

Hi, did you protect the art with a clear varnish before adding resin?
