A Jaw-Dropping Resin Technique You Don't Want To Miss!

[@lechatbotte.]

Use your silicone mat to make your skins on, they peel off easily no muss no fuss

[@mariverhagen8082]

So beautiful and creative

The 1 sided skin looks like Jupiter! 🤩

Using a silicone mat will help you a lot as they come of really easy.I have made loads and not had a problem.I put mine in an A4 folder once they are dry so I can see them better when I need them. Metalic paints looks great on these and also adding some fine glitter's. Great work Steve 🤩

Great idea! Have you tried doing this on a piece of plastic? The skin might come of easier, and without the mould release. I've often thought about how pretty my palettes with left-over paint look. I usually use a lid of a plastic container as my palette, and the paint peels off the lids really well. I'll need to start saving the peel-offs for resin stuff.

[@franlewis8906]

I wonder if skins might be interesting using neon colours? xx 🎉

[@dorianesalem8076]

Use masking tape to tape your bezel tape to the silicon mat. It won't move around and won't stick to your fingers. Really easy peazy😊 😂.

[@Britzelll_Art]

You would have got more cells by using a torch but anyway, really lovely pieces ❤

[@craftydemon529]

I did something similar awhile back except I did it directly into the silicone molds I was doing a paint pour and I had way too much leftover paint and not enough canvases but I didn't want to waste so much paint. It was enough for 2 coaster molds and 2 larger molds, I still haven't gotten around to filling 3 of the 4 molds, lol. But make sure to put a clear coat of resin on top, it's been almost 2 years and the one I did pour still kinda sticks slightly to things

[@barbseed4434]

I ha e seveal skins from my paint pouring days, thanks for this great vid on how to use them 😊

[@darylpepper2256]

I do something similar with my leftover resin, turn pouring cup upside down and pour onto wax paper and use bits in other projects, just an idea for future videos. Love you and how you share all- good and bad-very helpful.

[@lisaroberts23]

How did this cure using uv resin? I would have thought it was too thick to get the uv light through. Well done Steve looks great as always x

[@lorrainecouch348]

Quality paints will make better skins. If you are using C&B paints you need to use a pouring medium that will bind the colours... elmers white glue is often used for a pouring medium. Others have said to use a silicone mat etc i wouldn't know... I've never tried to make skins... i just watch stacks of videos and i have then taught others how to achieve results (a novice teachers lol) Your colours will remain brighter and will turn to mud less with a binder... unless that's the look you want. The colour you lay down first will take priority over any other layer. If you do a ribbon pour that may give you fascinating skins. Love your videos 👍

[@LostSiren13]

❤ the coaster. Gorgeous. Also the pendants are quite pretty and interesting. Old cookie sheets are great for making skins. Quite cheap at thrift stores too.

[@bellaannecgoff2335]

❤❤❤

[@docscreations6672]

Instead of using the tray, use a silicone mat. That way the skins peel off beautifully and you don’t have to waste your mold release spray.

[@WizardKitty723]

[@Ladysmith925]

How long under UV for a full cure?

[@jackieliddell8876]

Hi Steve, they are all lovely, I need to ask you, and that is when I do coasters they struggle to get hard as I would like. I use vista resins and I'm getting a bit lost as I can't get things rock hard.

[@nigelhulme4160]

Steve you did an experiment using 4 different uv resin. i believe the last uv resin worked better, i cant remember which one and cant find the video too. Can any one help me out cheers

[@N0N4M30]

Hey Steve how can I save my art piece that was magnificent until I was stupid enough to do a top coat while the humidity was way to high now I have an “oily” top coat instead of the crystal clear. What can I do to fix it ? Sanding it down ? And repouring but with how much grit ?

[@phototez999]

Hi Steve, Great video as always. I am having trouble with my daming tape. When I peel my make off the tape the sticky backing comes away on my make. I am using Vista's UV resin, has anyone got any ideas how to stop this happening as its really hard to get off my work. Thanks ....

[@hollylowery26]

Buy a new roll. They have made so many improvements to the tape in the last year. However you can rub the sticky off easily using 91% or higher alcohol.

[@GalacticGoddess46]

My problem with the damming tape is when I take my jewellery off, a layer of the tape comes with it.

[@jadeswrapsandbraids]

You can save some money if you buy good quality packing tape to use in place of the damming tape. You get more for your money, and it seems to work well, for me it did. Do NOT get cheap packing tape. Or dollar store brand. It does not work very well. It should be name brand. It still is cheaper than the damming tape

[@Paulstluke]

I’ve used rice paper and plastic comes of great
