I love the process of learning and learning from mistakes and experiences! Thank you for doing an updated video of what you have learned 😁😁

[@debsart1008]

So pretty. Thanks for passing to us the lessons you learned in getting them from the molds. I might try this.

[@amberlindsey7112]

I am glad you said that about torching in the mold. I have some that have done that and couldn't figure out why it did it just sometimes but not every time. These are gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@amysceri3591]

You are so inspirational. You have me thinking of so many things to make. I always wanted to learn to pour resin. My ex brother in law years ago use to make resin war scenes with plastic soldiers getting shot and blood flowing .it was for a war protest, that’s how long ago it was. I was 15 and I’m now 63.... but anyway I think he used tweezers to place the figures into the resin. They were very animated and effective. I would personally like to create something more organic and beautiful. Thank you for your very helpful tutorial. Your personality shines and you are a pleasure to watch and learn from.

[@LisaMayfield]

Thank you for posting this! I learned how to keep from destroying my molds! This is a beautiful technique, and I can't wait to try it!

[@joanneyeomans6294]

This is the most informative tutorial I've seen about making resin coasters. Thankyou!

[@lesliebonilla5951]

so true!!

[@KidOfMischief]

Oooh thank you for the tips with the white ink! These are gorgeous!

[@Taliaris]

These look gorgeous. I use this mold for resin as well. I find 12 hours is the perfect time to take them out. When I had taken them out too early, my fingerprints ruined it and I had to add additional resin to fix it. Can't wait to try this method.

[@jesusmarin7641]

Omg thank you so much. I have been see your beautiful video and beautiful art for a while. I recently started to do acrylic pouring and now I m into making resin coaster. I have destroyed so many mold and never figure out why. Thanks to your video I learned so much and I can’t wait to try the my coasters again but this time without destroying the mold. Thank you so much

[@cathybrillhart3890]

Annie, thanks for sharing your experiences with the 3in1 oil and the unmolding before the resin fully cures. Fantastic tips!!

[@chachadodds5860]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge & experience. You have the best instructional KZbin video on this art form, & you're very creative.

[@disneygal200016]

So excited about the silicone around the edge of the mold! 🥰

[@meganmiller7693]

Pretty much obsessed with this video. THANK YOU!

[@FeistyAngel]

THANK YOU for allowing us to learn from your mistake. Some people are too proud to post anything that show a mistake in it. But by doing so, we have learned so much about the art & we've learned what a humble person you are & a good teacher. You've earned yourself a subscriber from the first of your videos I've seen🥰

[@FreeYourMindArt]

Wonderful stuff! I cannot wait until we get warmer weather to try this.

[@kimmerbe]

Great video. Thank you so much for all your tips.

[@gidgetnsweetpealacarter9797]

Annie & Laura Bingham (from comments), I haven't started yet but I will be ready in about a week. I've been watching videos on working with resin and this is the first time anything has been mentioned about protection. I am so thankful to you both for this! I'm also a bit obsessed with reading the comments or I would have missed this completely! Thank you for all of the wonderful knowledge I gained from watching your video and reading your comments! I'm walking away from this one with a wealth of information! Just a little FYI, I was watching a video on something similar to this only it was done for yummy desserts. He was dripping food coloring onto the clear edible substance (not sure what it was) then he used different tools to push the color (ink) into the mold to create flowers and leaves inside. It was so beautiful! I don't know why you couldn't do the same thing with resin. Just a thought you might want to try........

[@soniavazquez5434]

Beautiful mix of colors ! Congrats 🌹

[@darlafrazier8575]

Thank you very much. Your video was just what I was looking for. Beautiful results.

[@sofializzy4519]

[@ing-gerdbreitholtz98]

Awesome, after seeing this I will invest in some resin and try it

[@scrappng]

Love this video. Can’t wait to try.

[@Flower-ux4cz]

Thank you💕 I ruined my previous molds by my edges sticking and needed this video 🙌🏼

[@mooncrafternailsandmore7907]

I make coasters in the same molds weekly. I use a candle lighter for the bubbles and I wait 12+ hours and I have no trouble getting them out. If I do I set them in the freezer for 20-30 minutes or set it in the sink in hot water. I have never had a problem with the sticking of the mold. I do use mold release on some molds that aren't very pliable. Your petri pours are beautiful!

[@martintreacher8157]

Moon Crafter Nails and more! Do you have any issues with white ink??? I’m having a few problems of the white being heavier than other colours and sinking whereas other colours just seems to float.

[@paranormaldicks]

you answered my question! thanks for letting me know a lighter will work!

[@sherrysawyer1255]

Beautiful coasters!

[@dianehampton3513]

They are beautiful

[@seaweedbeach]

That's amazing!

[@Mariajoseschulz]

Amazing.. I simply loved it

[@sophievanderbilt1325]

These turned out really pretty! It seems like you literally melted the silicone mold right to the resin on the other ones that you torched. No weird science there, you just roasted them past their melting point! I use a heat gun for my resin and it does a great job on the bubbles, plus it makes some cool new patterns. It's not for everything (sometimes a flame works best) but it should keep you from your pyro tendencies. 👍🏻

[@dinaelsherbiny1727]

Sophie Vanderbilt on low or high setting please ? And did you try silicone oil ?

[@ma771]

I will try it soon 😍😍 thanks very much about the important information ❤️❤️

[@dianab9884]

Just fried a mold. I wish I saw this sooner. Great video!

[@KimberlyDurrMusic]

Hey sweetie this is stunning and looks like so much fun. You know this or any of your DIYS would be great to do with a group of friends with some wine at home. Fun fun fun. I love your channel gurlllllll. You are the best to me on the YT doing this kind of stuff. Beautiful art. You always encouraged and inspire me and my young daughter to try everything, we love your spirit and this is one ☝️ of the first things I do when I recover from my next set of surgeries. I will send your pictures when we do it. Love you 🙋🏾💙🦋💓💜💗💕💚💖

[@AnniesArtStudio]

Thank you my love ! Xo always appreciate the support !

[@KimberlyDurrMusic]

[@taniehotan]

very well explained!! thank u!!!

[@lalitagonzalez4618]

Thankful for your tutorials. I would like to know after you “demold” the coaster, where and which surface you use to let them to cure.

[@irvanvanz]

You share knowledge that is very important to us, thank you very much

[@divishajaveri6316]

This was awesomeee

[@DynamicOwl13]

You gave some really good little tips that I will be putting to use for sure. I just got a bunch of different colors for petri dish coasters and can't wait to try make some. Art Resin is a good product, I usually pour each part into those squeeze bottles meant for ketchup and mustard, individually, not mixed lol. And using a small heater to warm them up nicely hasn't made the epoxy resin heat up and start to cure within half an hour. I've had that happen before with a different brand, kinda scary. I'm using Magic Resin atm because I got a lot more for my $$ and so far it's been great for projects small and big.

[@islegallagher1141]

Beautiful I have to try ink thx 👍🏻❤️

[@buttonman6262]

Awesome thank you. Just did my first test coaster yesterday. It stuck to the mould but obviously I over torched it. Not overly impressed with the finish but I’m going to try this!👍🏻

[@SilkCityIndependent]

You may be having issues because the silicone lubricant is acting as a solvent that is damaging you silicone mold. (Silicone lubricant can "melt" silicone objects) Try using petroleum jelly instead.

[@cliffcarlo180]

So many people saying "great tutorial" because they truly believe all these videos are uploaded by a Guru.

[@brendagurley1319]

Thanks for the tip about using q tip to put silicone on the sides of the molds. I have ruined my molds and had to keep buying them. Also was waiting too long to unmold.

[@chaptersoflexx]

Amazing

[@sutela2060]

Wauw so beautiful 😍🙏

[@orpha9031]

Castin' Craft makes a silicone mold release/conditioner spray. It is possible to take a piece and round the edges or sandpaper the bottom flat. A quick rub over sanded areas with your fingertip and THE NEXT CLEAR BATCH. Give it at least one day sitting flat. Viola! Perfection

[@bettyhall9777]

Beautiful, love those colors!!! Do you ever make any with jewelry pieces in them. I bet that would be beautiful as well. Tfs, hope you have a blessed day ❣❣❣

[@CC-vw1cs]

very nicely presented :)

[@jp2593]

Awesome🤗

[@meltingmischief8575]

I almost like the bottoms instead 😍

[@judyrussell9895]

Love How Yours Turned Out 😍 I tried 2 for the first time last night and the Resin is curing well but I have a lot of white showing ( do you know what would cause that) as I did the color then added the white like you did too make it bloom 🤔 Thank You

[@barbaraschlamminger5775]

You are so sweet. Thank You! 💖

[@big65mopar]

The torch softened the mold and heated up the resin at the same time allowing the two to mix then fuse together. Waving the torch quickly over the resin in waves and circles is enough to pop the bubbles. There is also a spray that can be used that will pop the bubbles as well and not affect the resin, another channel called positive couple uses it, however, it's in Russian so it may be difficult to translate.

[@krafter5850]

I spray alcohol on my resin to pop bubbles.

[@miltonalvarez3415]

Hola buenos días , que linda tecnica, ,gracias por compartir el video , saludos desde Medellín -Colombia

[@sarassmith6900]

Thank you very much for sharing 👍🙏🌹

[@britthunny]

Nice!!!!

[@caraallbee8130]

Thank you for the updated video! I have ruined so many molds. Do you sand down the edges on the bottom of them? Mine always seem sharp. If so, do you wait until completely hardened to do so? What grit of sandpaper do you use? Thanks :)

[@berez50]

Thanks for a great video. Do I understand correctly that after you complete the layer of alcohol ink, you do not add another layer of resin or any other sealer? What is to prevent the alcohol ink from changing over time when it comes in contact with other materials?

[@wallingtonfilming]

Brilliant 🕯☕️🚬

[@satyensharma960]

Great info...thanks a lot..:)

[@laurawbingham]

This is gorgeous but oh my god PLEASE use gloves! I can no longer use resin :( since I've now become super sensitive from using it, and I get crazy allergy outbreaks. Pls use proper ventilation, face mask, goggles, and gloves. It's so important to know this and teach it. This stuff is extremely dangerous, even if ArtResin touts itself as being 'non-toxic', but once you add stuff to it and torch it, all bets are off and it's no longer non-toxic :/

[@AnniesArtStudio]

This is very true. I promise i will and will teach the same

[@laurawbingham]

Cool. I had no idea how toxic the stuff, and just dove right in! Watching tutorials, a lot of folks don't use any protection, so I didn't think I needed to anyway. NOPE! lol unfortunately now I can't do it at all since I dont want to risk my health :-/ "Always use protection" lol :)

[@arracheoussama6884]

Thanks for the advice Laura, didn't know the consequences that can lead to. Thanks

[@maricamonori]

It seems that I developed allergy to the resin as well. But now that I use gloves and a mask I am able to make art without having a swelled up face.. ❤️

[@Undidiridium_]

My resin as no smell to it, do I still need to wear a mask??

[@resingirl9108]

Great video! How do you make the coasters the same height? Like when free pouring into the mould and not filling the whole mould?

[@juliemcquade2017]

These are so beautiful but I recommend you try to find another mold because casting shouldn't stick to the mold that much, I've literally never had this problem. Also can I suggest that to reduce bubbles you take longer to mix and mix slowly, then bang your cup on the side to rise bubbles and heat when bubbles reach the middle of the cup. Then their will be very few bubbles left after pouring xx

[@Linaza23]

Julie mcquade Excelent idea! Thank you! :)

[@coreyhondzinski8097]

It's always good to take steps to take care of your molds tho, such as using a mold release. This will help your castings come out easier and extend the life of your molds.

[@lalune59]

and not use torch but heat/hot gun

[@kandaceellis318]

Stunning! I have this same mold but haven't used it yet. How much resin is needed to fill all 3 molds?

[@virginieboissonnault5427]

Hi! I would like to know what you use to sand edges if they are Sharp? It would ne nice to see a tutorial about it!

[@mollyv7399]

One of the best I've seen. I do wish someone, anyone, would share with us HOW you know how much resin to mix for coasters. Most everyone has this same mold, does anyone know how much one coaster mold holds?

[@AnniesArtStudio]

About 2oz

[@nat-xx8ti]

So cooool

[@75_shivanshtripathi77]

Try adding glow in dark powder on it Cruz that would be real classy

[@ArtbySusanKing]

Beautiful ! How do you know how much resin to make for each mold? I want to start soon and not sure of that. Thanks

[@deepdiver849]

Thanks for this 🙏🏼 What can I substitute if I don’t have alcohol ink? Can I use this method with mixing Chinese resin colors/ acrylic with silicone to create this cell effect?

[@Mamachaps]

Try using a long necked lighter instead of a torch, it's much more gentle but does the same job 😊

[@dorraine420]

Thank you

[@azizehrabbo589]

By the way I love all ur arts 😍keep it coming and Tfs:) Iam an old subscriber 👍🏼

[@mukhliskhamo74]

Hi Annies, what about spraying the mould with Mould Release Agent before you pour your resin?! Wouldn't that help you with taking your piece out?

[@elolafeechatouille8764]

Magnifique bravo bisous

[@preenab802]

thanks for the tutorial! How much of resin to mix?

[@TwentyThree-23]

The science is probably that you've literally melted the mold into the resin. Lmao.

[@jan-nn9ix]

How is that funny

[@rennnalyn]

I was looking to see if anyone else was on the same page & I found it. Lol.

[@mama--rua]

Love how the ink moves like its alive. Do you buff em?

[@cathydeecher7034]

thank you for the tutorial, love it, i have tried this but can not get my inks to starburst out like youts, i have tried a little ink ,then more ink and still not luck, i use the same products as you use, i shake the bottles first, also, so i am not sure what i am doing wrong, can you help? thank you!!

[@inatolichishi7178]

Very pretty! What colour are you using

[@agirlwithdifferenttools5850]

I've never used release agent in a silicone mold. No issues.

[@LilmizzMarie]

this is very great tutorial i have also ruined aton of mold and i have one left and i have been scared to use it! i don't have any silicone tho because i mostly do resin pours> do you think something else might work for the sides?? Also you work is amazing and i am definitely subscribing!!

[@Tamara01234]

Hey ATD Sista, you can buy mould release, that’s what I did. My thinking was I had spent loads a money on the mounds probably best to spend a few more £’s on something designed to aid mould release so I didn’t destroy them.

[@SKiDDLEStheClown]

Vaseline!
