Is this the most frustrating RESIN MOULD ever? Work-around Hack

[@TheCraftingNook]

Very nice Mr. Steve. It can be a pain but I was so anxious about showing how it can be done. Mine is still nicely together. Thank you for mentioning my channel♥️♥️♥️ by the way I love your box.

[@OG_Beckie_Leigh]

I love your channel! Your domino box tutorial is the one I studied before I made mine, and it turned out perfectly on the try. 💜

[@TheCraftingNook]

@@OG_Beckie_Leigh thank you so much Beckie. Mr. Steve was so supportive mentioning me. 🥰

[@christinaperson1168]

I like that you tried a couple times, but did not give up. You just went with what worked for you. Love the corner bits that you added. It makes it look expensive. Thank you as always Steve!!

[@karans3307]

We always appreciate that you go a little crazy for our benefit. Your craziness helps our sanity...so keep the crazy. We love it.

[@nicolebry1120]

This might be my favorite project you’ve done this far. The little golden corners are a beautiful touch!

[@critter9579]

I absolutely love you always giggling at yourself. It make me smile and sometimes laugh. Don't ever change or cut out those bits. Always a pleasurer to watch you work.

[@margaretzuelke9761]

The flowered box is so beautiful! I love your placement of the flowers especially!

[@Becka.M-D]

Brilliant solution Steve. I love the flowers in there. I love the little corner brackets. And don’t worry about the length of the video because you have helped us find a solution to this issue & it may be applied to other boxes in the future that we make. If it was me, I would sand the sides of the lid a fraction to get it to slide in & out a little bit easier, but not too much that the lid just slides straight out. The other thing I would do is maybe add a little ribbon to the lid to pull it out. I may even get another mould that has lots of tiny little shapes in & make one of those but I’m a solid colour & as it is thickened up, put in the head of a tiny nail or screw & leave it to set firm. Then I would use the fine drill bit like you used & drilled a hole into the outside edge & carefully attach my little homemade drawer handle to pull it open.

I love the crafty nook, too, I’m glad you gave her a shout out!! She has a great channel!!

[@galady8632]

I appreciate your determination. I may make boxes for preteen girls for their 'treasures'. Unlimited options re colors and additives. Thank you! Never complain about the length of your videos. You insure they are both informative and entertaining.

[@goatsmilk7751]

THAT turned out BEAUTIFUL!

[@TonyaBriggity-Wells]

I really like the look of your box with the flowers. Gorgeous.

[@francieharmon6245]

Thank you for letting us know how to make beautiful things!

[@MariesStuff]

Hi Steve thank you for showing your frustrations with this, and the corner pieces are a great idea. 😀

[@MicheleJolie]

I love the corners perfect you come out with great ideas thank you. You make me smile Steve I hope you are smiling too.

[@Bobo-gm9fd]

Just run a little bit of sand paper over where you are gluing them together to give it some texture to grip to (with your uv resin )

[@kiwifox90]

That was exactly what I was thinking lol and because you are going over it with resin, u won't be able to tell it was sanded :)

[@Mark_Agamotto1313_Smith]

I was going to say the same thing, you beat me to it. Edit, Additionally, you could use CA glue.

[@fancifuldevices]

You’re not supposed to take the lid fully off in regular use, that’s why the last bit of slide is harder. Keeps the lid from coming out completely and the dominos more secure in there. I loved the corners you used!

[@Whatever_itmeans]

I really like your longer videos. Gives me time to get ideas inbetween 🙂

[@Microplancakes]

As you were taking the pieces out of the mold I thought they’d look so pretty as an art piece on the wall! Sure was a frustrating project to watch for a while! I’m so happy it turned out so beautifully!

[@gabrielleschmidt1435]

🎉I really liked this box. You could use the box as a keepsake box,or a jewelry box, or something like that. It is very pretty. 😊

[@danimacvisions9936]

Hi it’s Dani! I finally did it! I started my own channel AND you got mentioned in it!!!

[@LisaVornhagen]

Love the corner pieces! They look great and I'm sure add stability to the box. I also love your flower choice. They're very pretty!

[@janicehelmore-pouringwithf3360]

Turned out really cool! Despite your troubles I still want to get this mould 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️💖💖💖👏👏👏🇦🇺

[@toughtimes6596]

That is absolutely gorgeous! 💞

[@suewarnes9469]

So beautiful! The corners really make it! Thank you so much for sharing. The black domino’s enhances the look.❤️

[@lesliedrees3896]

I am so glad I passed on that mold. I was looking at buying it a couple of days ago and when I read the reviews i decided not to get it. Now that I have seen Steve even struggles with it, I know I would have never gotten a nice outcome.

[@alexiscraftyourlifeaway9587]

Ok I'll try it I have it in my cart to order LOL I'm going to put it together your way so I won't go crazy. Thanks again Steve . You save me hours of frustration

[@francesgraham-merrett2989]

Thank you so much for that video, I too have a bundle of pieces that will not fit together, even when I didn't overfill the moulds

[@francieharmon6245]

Thanks!

[@bonny9680]

I made one for my daughter, what a pain in the rear lol 😆 I made a small divot with my dremel on the lid to help with sliding the lid out.

[@olgacolonforeversky]

I have those flowers but I still didn't get the mold yet. I was thinking of getting it but I still have not bothered with it. I do have the mold for the dominos which I love so much. I think the box came out so beautiful. It's perfect to give it as a gift. You always make us laugh. As for me I think I would of through it against my wall because I would of fight with it

[@susanmartin9124]

I have a slight tremor as well. I never did like the box to open on top and bottom. All of mine are closed on the bottom. I also use glue instead of UV.

[@absmum1]

Well done 👏 ✔️ 😊

[@ResinbyCat]

I really love this way ..Wow Beautiful thank you

[@christianegates2781]

Steve, i absolutely Love that idea with those corner metal thingies... gotta get me some... thank you so much !!!

[@debwestphal396]

Just discovered your channel. Very enjoyable.

[@karenmorris5847]

Well Steve, over all I think the box turned out great! So, I went ahead and ordered a mold for myself and I think I'll give I've it a go, I plan to use flowers in mine as well. So wish me luck 😬

[@SaharrisIMVU]

You Steve are a better person than me lol I don't take that kind of frustration calmly, that box would have been chucked out with a primal yell! I sure as heck wouldn't' of taken the time to find a workaround and then actually made a video of it to help all of us.

[@lucylastic]

Oh steve thank you! Im still going to try, but not right now, i can see me getting disheartened, but...seeing you struggle helped so much, in a good way, love your humour, and tips, thank you again, ps love the box, yay you for not giving up

[@andreapaxton9541]

I lost patience with my domino mould the amount of resin I wasted coz it would not for life of me work so I threw my mould in bin lol xx I absolutely love the box u done I think I have to buy mold again and try it u way lol

[@danimacvisions9936]

As always beautiful work!!!

[@craftyfarmer04]

So glad you did this one. I just got one and oops I also filled the center part around the 2 small areas. Lol

[@MicheleJolie]

I love watching you and listening I'm sorry you had a little break. Maybe it would help to put baby oil to let it slide in the first time maybe. but how beautiful excellent almost like you!

[@tracygilder1229]

Wow a very frustrating mould indeed! I would’ve thrown it after first try lol

[@yellowrustybirdwheels]

I am a body and paint man on cars and my suggestion not a demand to your resin problem is. resin is like a clear coat on paint it does not stick to anything shiny and smooth it has to be scored with a knife or sanded a little bit to give the uv resin something to bite on even the 5 minute epoxy will eventually peel off of the shiny resin if you don't give it something rough to grip on to

[@sarahn3394]

Hello fellow car painter/resin enthusiast!

[@createwithshortyb727]

Hi Steven are those microwave flower. Love it

[@PerfectlyImperfectByCyndy]

Thank you Steve! I thought about getting this but knew it would be complicated & I don't do complicated. Lol I make lots of dominoes so it would be nice to make these boxes. Doing it your way, I may just give it a go. Love your peice instructions & humor. I'm learning a lot. Will soon be able to become a member 😀

[@angelsandfaes]

Awesome job. I just don’t have time to mess with a project like that. It has to much time consumption with to high risk. But yours turned out beautiful

[@dclark2162]

I kinda cheated for Domino boxes. I found that the wooden treasure chest shaped boxes from The Works fit a set in nicely. All I did was decorate it & it was done

[@raquelreyes8573]

Hi Steve love all your video and ideals i have not done a storage box for the dominos and i just got this mold first time user can you please tell me how much resin to use in mold have a great and bless day

[@theehappyhousewife3346]

Just finished one and yes I'm frustrated!

[@donnastroud9294]

Very nice. Yes looks annoying to put together

[@RhondaWyma]

Really ❤💜❤ the box sorry you had a rough time Steve it looks so very pretty want to try this Thank you 4 everything you do helping us out with these projects going to try and get my resin art buisness up & running! Any Advice like how to get your business name to a LLC or how to make your resin art name legal and so on how you're started up in the beginning? Thanks again Steve much ❤ & ❤ your channel ❣❤💜❤😍🥰🤩🥰

[@tanyacalvin9080]

Ok I see it was a pain ... But the corner pieces you added made it totally awesome ...but I think it needed a matching handle to open with an would be easier an as always beautiful work .

[@2degucitas]

You made the dominoes? Impressive.

[@tyem.6815]

If it’s difficult to slide into place a nail file could widen the line where the fit is snug

[@gdworac4219]

Thanks for this. I too would have been having a mare with that :)

[@LindaC-m7o]

What type of glue would you recommend

[@angelsandfaes]

Is there a good clear polyurethane that you recommend for the US?

[@juliantorrescantante4861]

Con que se pega para armar la caja,con la misma resina ?

[@naomilawrence5728]

Would it work if you made a new mold of the box once it's glued together?

[@ratsika3]

Did the nails show on the sides?

[@dawncoleman470]

I was actually biting my nails watching this vid. Loved it tho 😁

[@larrijohnson4885]

lol, Noooo, I do not see me doing this. Thank you for the warning.

[@tinachappell520]

I must say the flowers looked gorgeous and thanks for showing us a different way to put it together. Your so elementary my dear Watson lol

[@shieldofthebear1784]

Try a light sanding on the edges before you do the UV resin. Should get a bit better adhesion.

[@junek1006]

I took one look at that box and said nope. I didn't even buy it. I knew I could never make it. You might use those panels as bookmarks. They are very pretty.

[@farahclay912]

You are hilarious!

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

You could tell from your voice that this video was stressing you out. Never mind, it all went well in the end eh? God bless you and those you love Steve.

[@MicheleJolie]

Steve you might like to update your link to Amazon domino box mold it's not working.

[@amberskintyrecrafts6326]

I have this and the dominos mould but I don't think I will bother with the box

[@suegore5929]

Most people say it isn't worth it, they buy $1 boxes from the Dollar Store instead!

[@heidishomecrafts5315]

Gave up with mine 😂

[@specialk8927]

I was going to order the mold until you mentioned glue!!! I need something less work!!

[@createwithshortyb727]

😅😅😅

[@bloodycreekdesigns1419]

I dnt know if I have patients for this haha

[@LisaWyattArtMyBestMedicine]

Nope....This box can suck it....I tossed mine right in the can after the 2nd try lol

[@lesliespiers8407]

to make it slide easier, rub a little Vaseline on it.

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

I was gonna get this mold, but after seeing how frustrating it is, I think I'll pass. Heh.

[@FirebladeCBR]

I’ve made twelve of these so far in varying sizes with no issues at all. I love the clear floral one you did. Please do one thing though, stop with the ridiculous fake opera singing or whatever it’s meant to be. It’s very childish and very irritating

[@dorcasbaker7171]

That's the worst mold to use.
