resinAce How much it sell?

[@coffebug]

Ever done this with galaxy colours that would be cool.

[@FaFawithme]

coffebug Do you know how much is it? I want to buy it.

[@coffebug]

@@FaFawithme no I don't, but I'm sure if you just follow what he does in the video you can make your own.

[@FaFawithme]

coffebug It is so hard to me to make it by myself.😅

[@vilian4373]

What an awesome idea with the cone-within-sphere. Apparently one cannot underestimate possibilities for sinking resin shapes in resin. Thanks for a great mood lift and tutorial in one 😍

[@resinAce]

Thank you 😎♠

[@skeewee13]

@Brad AmeerBeg you can start on Amazon. Home Depot and Lowes have some you can start with. Even Michael's l think has Amazing Cast which is great for the small stuff. It is an EXCELLENT beginner resin. I love it for jewelry. I do large resin projects also so l use a different brand too. Not sure if you are in US or UK. Start with small sized bottles as resin can be expensive. If it says pint you are getting 2 half pint bottles. The combination of the two is a pint. Read the label carefully. Some can be mixed by weight others must be mixed by volume. Some 1:1 others not. Some can be mixed deep others cannot gom more than 1/4 inch. Know what you are buying. Watch some safety tutorials first. Resin needs ventilation. His projects are small but most of us wear respirator masks. I wear gloves too but Ace is only doing small stuff so he isn't getting any on his hands. As a newbie start with gloves 🙂🙃. Good luck. Have fun Resin is a BLAST!

Your creativity doesn't have margins to do beautiful design.

[@maj9241]

Epic final result, so many possibilities with this I think, maybe a galaxy or a whirlpool?! You are still the number 1! Keep up the great work 🥳

[@resinAce]

Thank you 😊 Yes, the unintentional bubbles did start to give it a bit of a galaxy feel, which I actually rather liked 😎♠

[@hollyhyde978]

I'm so glad I stumbled across your page! So relaxing!

[@DragonTamer00]

New to the channel, beautiful work using simple steps and not really putting much effort into it kudos to you.

[@mizzuzie3338]

It's almost hypnotic to watch the final result... It looks great! I have a similar mould but only uv-resin at home so I'll try to do a mini version. Also, I love snarky Alexa!

[@resinAce]

Thanks, the mini version looks just as good 😎♠

[@angelalane2136]

I have GOT to get myself some resin and start playing!!

[@alisonmary1443]

Just when I am getting over the pyramid you do this, I must try this, I have smaller sphere moulds but this will be a great play time, thank you.

[@resinAce]

I unmoulded a smaller one on my instagram - the effect works just as good 😎♠️

[@lucretiahoverter9486]

Thanks so much for sharing this great tutorial! Also, mad props on your video production; very slick.

[@DD-rq6mh]

Hahaha love the comment at end regarding forgetting to seal the mold lol. Awesome work! Thank you!

[@donnayount2094]

Absolutely Stunning

Would any of the modge podge range do? Love this. X

[@angelabarton2551]

Very cosmic!!!and beautiful,,DR WHO would be proud!!!! It's bigger in the inside!!!!👌👍😺🌷🌹🐯🌺

[@kellyelise--kieraraine7776]

Hello! I was looking through different resin tutorials, and I came across your video. I have been *YEARNING* to try my hand at such a *BEAUTIFUL* & *UNIQUE* class of visual art!!! What would you recommend for an *ABSOLUTE BEGINNER AND THEIR FIRST PROJECT EVER*?!?!? What project should i try? What materials will I need? Any tips you wish you knew before you started your first project??? Thank you so much for your time reading my comment, & if you answer me! I sincerely appreciate it!!! talk soon! 🤟🌈☁ 🙏😇🙏☁🌈🤟

[@jg9301]

“you don’t need to be too precise” *cuts precisely with ease* lol but seriously this is mesmerising and kinda trippy

[@resinAce]

Hehe, I'm pretty good with a pair of scissors, even when I'm trying to be a bit slapdash 😎♠

[@Zoubification]

Merci pour tes tutos, j'adore essayer de les faire moi même (j'ai bien dis essayer 😂). Le vortex est celui que je préfère. C'est juste trop beau 😍 😍 😍

[@PaullaWells]

That was way cool! I even liked the bubbles. Actually could have had more bubbles. If the glitter were variations of blues it might look like a starry night with the bubbles as the stars.

[@resinAce]

Thank you, yes I thought that about the bubbles too, they didn't spoil it at all 😎♠

[@PaullaWells]

resinAce - No they didn’t at all! They enhanced it in fact. That’s what is called a happy accident. 😃

[@charlicupan3333]

This is so awesome! Love how you put step by step !!

[@Unskippable_Cutscene]

Aaaaaa the music at 00:16 is giving me Fate vibes! Fate was an early to mid 2000s computer game that had a demo preinstalled on windows 7

[@thylizarium]

Eey, I recognized that too!

[@manofwar6661]

So you adapted a glass lampworking technique into resin. That's cool

[@Uniquely-You]

Your imagination is endless what a beautiful thing!

[@BeccaBullard8]

Wow 😲 that’s beautiful and so amazing! You come up with really awesome ideas...I love this paperweight! Can’t wait to see what you do next, thank you so much for sharing. Hugs from Texas

[@resinAce]

Thanks! 😎♠

[@SweeToxic]

I've decided this is going to be my first Epoxy Resin project! Yee!!

[@resinAce]

Awesome, good luck with it! 😎♠

[@skeewee13]

Just curious did you do it?

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

It looks amazing as always! And I love that you left the mistake in too - I find it reassuring that even people who are really experienced still sometimes mess up - it makes me feel better when I keep doing stupid crap on MY crafty stuff (I knit, and OMG I do some stupid things when I'm not concentrating properly! 😂 ) Thanks as always for sharing - Perhaps one day I can try out some of this stuff from my sick bed (without either spilling epoxy resin all over myself, setting fire to something, fumigating myself or ruining the pieces!

[@resinAce]

Thank you 😊 Filming the video takes as much concentration as the crafting so it's easy to forget simple things 😎♠

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

@@resinAce Absolutely - I think a lot of people underestimate how much work it takes to make and edit a decent video, especially one with all the information and detail you add.

[@derrickcox4233]

Great process...need a way to either perfect or blur the spiral so it looks more attractive.

[@lenkajungerova4628]

Super! You have interesting ideas! I have one question: Please, how do You clean resin containers and the like? Thanks a lot for your reply! 😀

[@NicoleMacintyre52]

[@mridukapoor1744]

Amazing work..

[@MamaSunshine_ASMR]

I love the finished product, I have a question tho, How do you finish the sides? Every time I use this mold, I get a lip, I try to sand it, and it only gets worse, Full of pits, then I try to fill back up with resin, just becomes a blob of hot mess.

[@resinAce]

On this one I just trimmed it with flush cutters, and because there was a line in the pattern between the two halves of the sphere it wasn't really that noticeable. Joins in moulds are always hard to deal with unless you have some professional buffing equipment.

[@freewaybaby]

I am TRYING to do this and got all the glitter on and was ready to continue, BUT... It looked like it was not going to be very visable through the half dome that was about to be poured for the top. So, I soaked it in soapy water and peeled all the glitter and glue off and am about to begin yet AGAIN! I was wondering if that last dark layer that covers all the spirals is necessary or if you think it darkens the final product at all. Since it's not the part you see inside the spiral, just wondering if it serves a purpose. Thank you AND I just LOVE this sphere you made! Whether mine turns out okay or not, YOURS is great!

[@resinAce]

Hi, depending on your coverage of glitter on the spiral part you may need to go over it twice before going all over it with the last layer. The last layer isn't absolutely necessary, I thought it would add to the effect if the outside appeared a solid colour.

Can you cast a replica house key out of resin?

Thank you 😊 I only just made it for Friday this week! 😎♠

[@rivqyahscraftcorner]

Does it matter what colour you use? If you don't have black glitter I have a dark blue. Thanks and wonderful work.

[@resinAce]

Hi, thanks for watching. It will work with any colours at all - even just two colours 😊 For the best effect you just need a good contrast between them 😎♠

[@rivqyahscraftcorner]

@@resinAce Off topic can you help me? I am living in aussie and the temp is COLD can you use your dehydrator to keep your resin peices warm and they cure? sorry have to ask someone who is strong in resin.

Can I ask a silly question please. Os that glitter or the one which is really tiny balls. Cos I'm tryin to find it on a shopping place online (no names mentioned, lol) And I dont know how to word it to find them or what they come under. I've looked for glitter n got shimmer aswell as glass shards or whatever they're called.. thanx in advance..

[@resinAce]

Hi, I just used fine glitter from this link on eBay ebay.us/6JC4qL buy any fine glitter will do

[@diannpowell1077]

That is just to cool for words! And so neat to watch. Thanks.

[@resinAce]

Thank you 😎♠

[@skeewee13]

Dear Ace my resident resin guru, First that was FAB! second where did you get that mold? It looks like something l had when l used to make candles but better. 3. What is your muse? How do you keep coming up with these great ideas?

[@resinAce]

Thank you, that mold was part of a set from a seller on Amazon UK. If you search 'resin sphere mold' you should find them locally. I draw a lot of inspiration from my passion for art glass.

[@marinariquelme3982]

That's awesome and so beautiful

[@romyhernandez7811]

Fabulous !!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and I loved the music

[@KP-nx8lo]

This may be a dumb question but is cellulose tape just packing tape? Like for boxes?

[@resinAce]

Yes, that's right. In the UK we call it Sellotape, which is a brand name that doesn't translate into other languages, and packing tape can be made of so many things these days I don't want someone to use the paper stuff by mistake. 😎♠️

Can I just paint the spiral with acrylic paint instead of using mod podge and glitter?

The effect should still work if the paint will stick to the resin cone 😎♠

Can human ashes be put in resin?

[@tonimlentner1255]

I know you have probably been asked this a million times but what brand of resin do you use? This one is such a great idea.

[@freewaybaby]

I ordered holographic glitter, but am I impatient, so since I have my little cone ready to go, do you think it would work with regular glitter? I blame YOU! LOL I told myself I would not do a project that caused me to bring glitter home, but seeing this video.....can’t resist making a mess with glitter and have NO idea how much difference there might be in the effect of holographic vs. regular. Thanks for a reply and thanks for your idea!

[@resinAce]

Hi, well it will work but you just won't have the holo effect in the silver stripe. The more light your glitter can reflect the better - it creates an amazing optical effect 😎♠

[@freewaybaby]

@@resinAce Thanks for your reply. I guess I'll wait until what I ordered comes in... unless I can find some locally. So far, have NOT found any at the hobby shops, but maybe beauty supply stores have it in their nail section. Can't wait to finish it! LOL

Dang cool effect, and I thank you for showing how to do this. I have one of those molds and might even try this one!

Why do you add glitter over the 3 coloured spirals. Is this a 4th colour. I have all things needed to try this out except the glitter. On eBay now. Just watched your video again. I get it now why you cover spirals.🙈
