[@tammyparo3279]

I am so thrilled to have come across your channel. It's so rare to have the epoxy pour included in the video. Wonderful and beautiful coasters as well. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much 🥰

[@grandaygain]

I wish I had found this video before I tried doing my coasters. Yours are so beautiful. Mine, not so much.

[@Salmonde_At_Home]

Thank you, just try again, you can do it. I did several I wiped the alcohol ink off of before I like the look of them.

[@hinadhami2637]

Loved the brilliant colors!

[@jesserichardson9396]

Love this! Will be making these!

[@tawanascruggs6069]

Beautiful coasters!. Great tutorial on how to use ArtResin I recently just tried ArtResin for the 1st time but unfortunately my coasters resin didn't come out as smooth as yours. I'll keep trying. Thanks for sharing your video

There awesome!! Love them🙂

[@robinlathim8221]

Im so glad to find this video, thank you. Im just beginning to explore and learn any kind of crafts, and these look great. And I was just wondering about using the doming resin on a what you want to remain a flat surface, does that make a difference?

[@SuperCoyote7]

Do you have to coat it first if you are going to use resin? Maybe the sticker won't stick to the tile? Love your video, very helpful.

[@laurihayes2826]

These are beautiful! I love the colors. What were you blowing the ink with? I can’t wait to give this project a try!

[@andreashofner7676]

These are amazing

[@Salmonde_At_Home]

Thank you.

[@lindawest2071]

Beautiful!!!

[@jennyputnam3466]

This is really cool! It looks easy enough. What font is cheers?

[@melissasmith7885]

These are beautiful!!

[@melissasmith7885]

Are the tiles glossy that you use?

[@Salmonde_At_Home]

Yes, they are the standard, glossy, cheap tiles you can pick up at any home improvement store. Very easy to find.

How long after doing alcohol ink tile do you have to wait before applying resin?

[@mikes9828]

Ready enjoyed your video. What is the tool you are using to spread the epoxy and what is your secret for eliminating air bubbles ?

[@marypriest4460]

White when a resident has several paintings that it seemed that the resin was separate from the acrylic paint. Why does that happen? I’m afraid to try it again.

[@marypriest4460]

Why does resin dry unlevel and separate from painting Sorry about all the typos and I love your tiles they’re beautiful

[@kendrasanders3453]

Now how did you get the lettering?? 🎉

[@beckylewis9364]

Love your video. How long did you let the Krylon glaze dry before adding your vinyl and Resin?

[@Salmonde_At_Home]

I let it dry for a couple of hours before moving on.

[@ivywong8915]

Hi. I have a question. when I put the uv resin in my alcohol ink work on the paper. I noticed the colour and pattern spread out. How can I do?😢

[@gingerkelly3615]

Thanks for the video. Your work is amazing. I was wondering if you could use vinyl under the resin, now I know. What heat gun did you use to get air bubbles out of resin? Thank you for your time.

[@Salmonde_At_Home]

I did put the vinyl under the resin so that it would not peel up with use. Any heat gun will work. The one I normall y use is just one I have had for many years that I picked up at the craft store for 40% off. You don't want anything that gets too hot, nor do you want to let the gun sit in any one place on the resin. Keep it moving at all times so you don't scorch the resin.

[@kenlong5011]

Why from bath tile? why not on?

[@billystalk]

So why not use self adhesive corks? But love the video

[@sharronboker6637]

please review the varnish step

[@laurabridson1795]

What pen did you use for the edging?

[@cherricea]

Beautiful! Question did you purchase glazed ceramic tiles? I have unfinished ones and it absorbed the alcohol ink

[@Salmonde_At_Home]

Yes, they need to be glazed tiles. Anything that is porous will not work to get the alcohol inks to spread. Alternatively, you can first lightly coat your tiles with resin and let that dry before you use your alcohol inks. The resin will be nonporous when dry.

[@benz862]

If coating the coaster first with resin is difficult, you can try spraying it with a clear coat in the form of a spray can. It dries in 20 minutes and should retard the absorption of the inks into the tile.

[@sherrycarlstrom2407]

How did you finish the edges?

[@charissadismukeansar5698]

What are you using for a blower, to blow the ink?

[@Salmonde_At_Home]

A can of compressed air.

[@anabellmaison8322]

Beautiful! If u use the mod podge can u place hot coffee cups on them?

[@Salmonde_At_Home]

Yes, a coffee cup would be fine.

[@siobhanfoley6799]

These are lovely! Which alcohol inks did you use please? I'd love to try making some of these to give as gifts.

[@Salmonde_At_Home]

I used Ranger's Adirondack alcohol inks. I don't remember the colors anymore as I have almost the entire line but if you stick to the brighter colors you should achieve similar results.

[@marilynpowers1080]

Hello. I made these coasters and I followed your guide. The resin looked good in the beginning but it pulled away from the sides of the tile. What did I do wrone?

[@Salmonde_At_Home]

It could be a few things. The resin could have been mixed improperly, there might have been residue of some sort on the tiles, or if they were soaked in water it could have damaged the seal. Resin can be a very finicky thing to work with and sometimes even experienced users can have issues. Keep working with it though, it is an amazing medium.

[@kendrawillett2436]

I think I had the same problem...on some edges it was significantly thinner than the rest of the tile.

[@lisawilliamson2781]

Do you have to seal the alcohol ink before you apply resin? Does the resin make the alcohol ink run?

[@Salmonde_At_Home]

I seal it with 2 or three light coats of Kamar varnish.

[@emilyballard6017]

What resin do you use? I do not like the one i purchased

[@Salmonde_At_Home]

I have two I use, DIY Epoxy's Artisan Resin, which is a thicker resin and Art Resin, which is thinner and takes longer to cure. I also pick up Amazing Clear Cast from Michael's or Hobby Lobby in a pinch.
