Hello Seriously Creative :), My names May and from my personal experience as a watercolor artist I think I may be able to help understand why the resin pieces made with Alcohol inks changed so drastically. I always choose watercolor made with pigment and not dyes because dyes are not lightfast and most pigments are. Light fast is how long a color will stay vibrant while being exposed to Sun light. Although your blinds were closed it is possible that the dyes in those alcohol inks were of such low quality that being exposed to little sunlight made them disappear. I hope this helps and that you try new inks and look into the ingredients more because the effect seemed very cool and I would love to see more of your work. Sincerely, May

This is a really great comparison video! I've always been curious about mixing alcohol ink into resin instead of dropping it in, good to know it changes colour and fades a lot so I don't need to try it. I use a white pigment paste in some pieces with acrylic ink to make pieces opaque or make them pastel and it works very well! If you're looking for pigment paste or pigment powders take a look at art tree creations and see if anything interests you :)

You can take a drop or two of acrylic paint on a wide toothpick and swirl it into the resin. This gives a nice curly or cloudy appearance. When I want a brighter color of the alcohol inks, I add a drop of white acrylic paint and mix.

I bought some of the same brand of alcohol ink, and I've personally found that it's only the pink and purple that look different in the resin. They're true to colour on paper, so I think they must be reacting with the resin in some way. I tried to 'rescue' some pink (because it went an unpleasantly bright fluoro colour) by adding blue, but it went the same brown-ish purple as the purple ink. Your pink actually looked orange, but I assume this is just the video camera not being able to catch the fluoro thing Because of this, I bought a set of proper resin dye, but I found both pinks from that also got unpleasantly bright when mixed into the resin, though one didn't go all the way to fluoro. The red was gorgeous though, so I know next time I can make a decent purple. Given that other comments have mentioned success with other water-based media, it occurs to me that your issues with mixing in acrylic paint may simply be a texture matter. Might be worth trying a thinner paint, perhaps? Such as one designed for pouring art?
@SeriouslyCreative4 жыл бұрын
Hey thank you for such a detailed comment :) Yes i agree about the paint, i have a few now that seem to work well. As for the ink, i believe it is really not meant for use with resin (maybe just as a petrie dish technique but not actually mixed in.) The resin pigments i brought from Ali express are all pretty good and true to colour, except for the orange which turns brown. Its a matter of trying out different colours i suppose.

They tend to use dye based pigment to achieve their colour, rather than more standard pigments. Dyes tend to be made of organic material, and they will fade much more quickly. Magentas in particular will fade fast depending the source for the pigment... I've had Opera Rose watercolour fade inside of a closed journal... At any rate, thanks for your videos!

Hello! Thank you for the video, it was very nice. I began to experiment with resin some months ago and I bought some resin colors and some mica powders. When mixing resin and resin colors, the resin tends to remain so soft and flexible even after a week (if I touch it, my fingerprints remain). I thought that maybe I put too much colorant, but even if I put a single drop, the resin was soft and extremely flexible. I'm quite sure about the two resin components, so I was wondering if it's a normal thing to happen or if anyone has a suggestion.

My number one trick that so far seems to help me a lot- put your bottle of resin under warmish/hot water just for about a minute before pouring. It will greatly reduce bubbles before the pouring process, which tends to add bubbles. Once you've got your resin in your mold there are a few options on how to get visible bubbles out: (The best option being number one, because you can also use this tool to create the 'wave' effect frequently used for popular beach piece to simulate waves) 1. Get a small heat gun, you can find them on amazon and they usually will have ones specially for epoxy resin for about 20$ 2. Pop the bubbles with a toothpick 3. Using a straw and blowing around the epoxy with release the bubbles.

A lot of resins yellow, find a brand that stays clear. I've heard 1:1 ratio resin is best for clarity and that resin with extra hardener/fast cure resins yellow more. I am newish to resin work though so that info is from research not from experience, I use "art 'n glow" resin and have never had yellowing.

The alchohol ink faded due to the pigment being very diluted in liquid. They're not really meant to be mixed with liquids unless you're going for a particular effect.

Do you not need hardener for the resin mixture? Thanks
@SeriouslyCreative4 жыл бұрын
Yes you always need hardener for a 2 part resin mix

Question; What resin do you use? As I noted when you mixed your it didn’t get any bubbles in it!

I was using Barnes epoxy cast and now i use Just Resin. Both brands are really good for minimal bubbles.

Could you send a link to this video (probably with the timestamp so they don't have to watch everything) to the alcohol ink company to find out why that color faded so drastically? I'm very curious about that.

When I add pigment pigment to UV RESIN it does not harden. What is the reason?

Uv resin is sensitive to ratios, as if the uv light cannot penetrate it will not cure. You can only make translucent pieces with uv
