[@travisyarbrough4033]

I would stop early but would experiment later once I got confident of the finished product

[@lisagreene1401]

WOW!!! Gorgeous!!! Great deals!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@enchantress2476]

I’m in love. You two are the Epoxy Queens. I believe you are truly blessed with a talent. You Go Girls.

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you! ❤️ We are definitely blessed!!

[@debwakefield5750]

That was very kind… thank you

[@kcdcdesigns]

This new technique using dyes opposed to alcohol inks really opened new doors to creating new designs and even accents on designs we all currently create. Thank you for sharing and doing such a great job of explaining the how's and whys, making it so much easier for others to follow!

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you!! Really had some fun with this technique for sure!

[@Weeone5207]

Beautiful!! New ideas!! Thanks Rhonda and Deb

[@RK3Designs]

OMGosh. It does! 😊

[@VictoriaThorntonArtist]

Had to go back and look!!haha, that's great.

[@kim99may]

I love alcohol inks. Doing this on cured resin sounds absolutely fabulous! Way to bring it to a whole to level. Time to play and have some fun! Inspired yet again!

[@RK3Designs]

Thanks Kim!!! 😊😊

[@VictoriaThorntonArtist]

I've done it on cured resin, than added a clear layer if resin...beautiful. can't wait to try this way

[@Weeone5207]

@Victoria Thornton cool idea!! Do you have a photo of it on the cured piece... I'm wanting to try this but wonder how one can pour the dirty pour AND squirter the ink as it comes out when one is by themselves...

[@3BoardChicks]

Love this!!!❤️❤️

[@julieharris6990]

I LOVE This!!!!

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you!

[@thackeray4]

Omg! This would be beautiful as a wall hanging! Love!

[@carriemitchell3020]

Beautiful 👍 thank you for sharing.

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you!!! I appreciate you watching. 😊

[@diannatighe-bayers1792]

This is unbelievable the things you can do. What would happen if you added the alcohol colors in when you layer your dirty pour. Can you use resin paste to make the alcohol colors. Can you add glitter or diamond dust to the alcohol colors. Thank you for showing us this and thank you Clara Lawrence your creativity mind is awesome

[@RK3Designs]

The paste won’t dissolve and work with alcohol like the dyes will. You could add a tiny bit of mica powder but I’m not sure about glitter.

[@patriciatrombley4090]

Part 1 beautiful! Let’s see what part 2 looks like🤔

[@kathyjohnson6839]

I'm so hooked. Absolutely gorgeous 🥰

[@carolboreckiartistry5545]

That's really cool. I have a 24 " round like to try that on. I need to order the die.

[@RK3Designs]

Let me know if you need anything 😊

[@jessicagibson109]

Hi. Thank you for always sharing your talent. How do you clean your chop brushes afterwards so you can reuse them?

[@lizh6421]

Looks beautiful!

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you!

[@parmelapowell8283]

Awesome Ladies!

[@RK3Designs]

Thank you!! 😊

[@joycedelashmit1422]

That is absolutely beautiful!!

[@marianwheeler3547]

Loved this project - did it fade later?

[@triciawhislerable]

Awesome 👌 👏

[@mmagg1017]

That looks like something you could do layers with.

[@RK3Designs]

Absolutely!!!

[@rickwilliams1049]

Love it have to try

[@dorisreynolds7057]

Way to have fun

[@RK3Designs]

We definitely do that. 😊😊

[@VictoriaThorntonArtist]

FYI, I've used alcohol ink on top of cured resin. I was careful not to dilute it too much (straight out of bottle and only added a slight bit of clear alcohol to get it to move some). Then added a clear coat of resin after it dried a few days...no problem. And so far after a year, no fading. Hope this helps.

[@RK3Designs]

Awesome! Thank you so much for the tip in the feedback!

[@sharonwaddell2548]

my understanding is that alcohol inks contain a binder, allowing them to stick to the substrate. did you include a bindeR?

[@satyendrajangid2170]

Nice

[@kimshaw2203]

I can’t find the video for the shower sneak peak.it’s beautiful! Help!

[@ntyler71]

Ok so RK3 Designs, Clara Lawrence, Erika Bauer and/or Vamp VaCali can you try this with resin tints?

[@RK3Designs]

That’s what we were using. Dyes are the Alumilite resin dyes.

[@VictoriaThorntonArtist]

I mixed mica powders with alcohol in those 2 oz bottles (more concentrated than when you mix in a big spray bottle....wondering about fading. Do you think it will fade? Note: I tried this before on cured resin, the mica dried to a powder once the alcohol dissipated!! The clear coat on top worked, but I had to apply very carefully with a light touch!!

[@RK3Designs]

The mica powders won’t fade. They will stay very brilliant 😊😊

[@VictoriaThorntonArtist]

Looking forward to trying this with the dyes. I checked them out on your website....Which is better, translucent or fluorescent?

[@RK3Designs]

I prefer the translucent dyes

[@kimberlycox4222]

when do you expect the Ultimate top coats to be available again?

[@RK3Designs]

I’m not 100% sure. We are still waiting on the manufacturer to bottle.

[@Weeone5207]

So 2 drops alumilite dye to test alcohol...but what is the size of the bottles or which bottles did you use.. a link for that would also be most important to know since you guys said "fill the rest with alcohol". Thank you!!!

[@RK3Designs]

The recipes were suppose to be in the descriptions, I’ll get them posted.

[@fooddottie]

Hi Rhonda - I live on the island of Cyprus in the Med. I have alcohol inks but cannot get alumalite products here. Can you ship to me (some products cannot go by air as they are classed as hazardous) or is there a supplier in Europe for these products. Just love the effect that can be created and that they are non fading is wonderful. Thanks - Debbie

[@fooddottie]

Not a problem I have found a supplier from then U.K. Cant wait to try them.

[@RK3Designs]

I’m glad you found a source!! Have fun!!

[@corinnminyard4859]

Are u using a canvas or wood panel,? Or ?

[@RK3Designs]

This is MDF. You can use just about any substrate.

[@sylviaholberg5972]

What size are those little bottles?

[@RK3Designs]

They are little 2 oz. bottles.

[@julieharris6990]

Where do I find Diamond Dust? Please?

[@RK3Designs]

Check out our website rk3designs.com/shop/#epoxy

[@dantarradellas7351]

What is the substrate board ? Wood, mfd, ?

[@RK3Designs]

This particular piece was done on 1 in. Insulation foam board.

[@tanyapope2124]

32:06 You do awesome work. I would like to see what you can do with jade colors. Im sending you a pic of a hope chest i did.

[@tanyapope2124]

Well i thought i could send it but not sure how to do that. =/

[@kimchamberlain1108]

🧡💙

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

We're gonna stop right here... 20 minutes later... 🤣😂 I wonder if you can create your RK3 designs logo on a light background using this method? 🤔

[@RK3Designs]

You think we have a problem 🤣🤣🤣 I actually did that! It moved a little but looked cool.

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

@@RK3Designs Ooooo!! Please show!! ❤

[@Weeone5207]

But hie do you do ut when you're by yourself... lol...

[@jencolvi]
