TEMU Review: Silicone Molds for Epoxy Resin. Ideas for resin in molds. Temu Art Haul, Review 1

[@lesliespiers8407]

nice, for the matte finish, if I want it to shine, I use UV resin & a paint brush, works great, fills in gaps too, for a flawless finish.

[@TheArtChick]

Great tip! I haven't tried UV resin yet. Thank you

[@Sylvia-Storm]

Uv nail varnish seems to work for small projects, it has a brush in it.

[@CoolStuff4GiGi]

When ready to demold spray a little water or alcohol between the most and the resin . Won't hurt the mold and will be so much faster😊

[@TheArtChick]

Thank you , I was actually going to try the dish soap I have been hearing about , but I was so excited to just demold it lol. I will have to try that for sure. Thank you for the advice.

[@lindao7887]

I have to stop watching these things late at night - "add to order" is costing me a lot of money!!! LOL Great video - thanks I think 😁💲💲

[@TheArtChick]

You and me both lol -- I have stuff just sitting in my cart because I just got another order...

[@danielle5113]

Thanks for using the resin to show us how they would turn out thanks

[@TheArtChick]

My pleasure 😊

[@lisarubywinnie9215]

I'd love to hear about you're process and what you used in a voice over instead of just music x

[@appleoneill5135]

I definitely agree. Please, could you do this?

[@TheArtChick]

I use Movie Maker and it's old but it's all I know lol. It has a narration button and I can just talk and it records it.

[@bunnysthndr]

how about just doing an old fashioned video? that way us beginners can hear you teach us what you are doing....?​@@TheArtChick

[@TheArtChick]

@@bunnysthndr Do you mean talking while the video is being made or ? I could but sometimes I speed the video up or cut the video so it isn't stagnate and then my voice is cut or 5x speed. Or did you mean start from scratch like mixing resin etc?

[@bunnysthndr]

@TheArtChick talking while you are doing the video. look at it like you are the teacher and we are the students. anything you can teach us would be awesome! and appreciated!

[@MrsLisaCrow]

I like what you did with the paint pen. You can expand on this by looking up zentangle patterns. They're easy but they look complicated. Hang in there!

[@Denise11Schultz]

Really great makes and reveals. Hard to choose best between seahorse and fairy moon maiden ☺️🦋🌈

[@TheArtChick]

The Fairy came out great , but that seahorse is so precious! I think I might try the Fairy in the way I did the seahorse and see how that looks. Thank you for your sweet comment

[@lynnwhite3998]

Love the way you don't talk just make things...Great!..

[@TheArtChick]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@passerineblue]

Love your idea for the sea horse. All your projects are cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheArtChick]

You are so welcome!

[@geminidragon33]

I LOVE the seahorse! I have that mold, so I'm gonna try that technique tonight. Beautiful job! 😁❤️

[@TheArtChick]

Awesome! Thank you! It is my favorite and gave me a lot more ideas too!

Very nice. Great ideas x

[@TheArtChick]

Thank you! 😊

[@reneepierce569]

I LOVE the Sea Dragon so much! While watching it I wasn’t sure if it was gonna be a hit or a miss. 😬 But duuuude! That was dope! AF even! 😁 Taking chances is what makes Art, well uh. Art! This was also therapeutic and the music? Muah! Chef Kiss! 👩‍🍳 😘 Looking forward to trying your technique with the Sea Dragon andI already own the mold! Yes from Temu. 💯 Thanks for the fun ride. I totally subscribed! 🥰😎

[@TheArtChick]

Love this! I really like trying weird things. Thank you so much

[@UandMeGod]

Thank you for sharing! What resin do you use or prefer? I am new to resin and am considering trying both UV resin and epoxy resin. Do you have any preferences? Thank you in advance!

[@TheArtChick]

I prefer epoxy resin - I like Epodex , Famowood, and Total Boat. I was surprised at how different epoxy resins in a whole can be. Thick, thin each one is a learning lesson. I started with Famowood and got comfortable with that one then tried another. The main thing is following the directions on each one for mixing properly. If they say mix, switch containers, mix then that's what to do. 8 min of mixing can be annoying but still that is needed. Thank you for the questions.

[@janieness5158]

I really liked seeing you put the molds and resin to work. It seemed pretty self explanatory on issues you may have had. I have some of the same molds that I haven’t tried yet. Do you have any preferences? Have you tried any of them with uv resins? Thank you for sharing your video.

[@TheArtChick]

Preferences to molds would be I tend to like animals and sparkly ones. I can't look away from sparkly ha ha! I haven't tried UV resins. I feel more comfortable with non uv ones.

[@rachellefoster1011]

I have spent hundreds os $$ from Temu and never got a discount card but maybe that was a thing of the past. I get electronic coupons towards future purchases but have to spend more in order to get it. I have often found the items to be quite smaller than expected but it’s also often cheaper there than other sites too. I will continue to buy from them.

[@TheArtChick]

I think the largest discount was on the first order.

[@jeanetterichmond3441]

I just got the insert mold the first one you poured. Was a little confused with that little insert, but I got it now thank you

[@TheArtChick]

so glad I can help :D

[@empathicaqua1064]

I love the molds that I bought so far

[@TheArtChick]

me too , aside form the crystal one. That should come out clear not matte.

[@LatoyaAlexander]

I like the seahorse! Awesome job too.😁

[@TheArtChick]

Thank you so much

[@blessthisemptynest]

I wish we could get Temu here in UK. I LOVED seahorse and the fairy the best.

[@TheArtChick]

I hope they do decide to expand.

[@lynnwhite3998]

You can I'm in the UK and buy from them

[@blessthisemptynest]

@@lynnwhite3998 They are here now but not when I posted that comment lol

[@tjsims8891]

What did you think of the products you used?? You didn't give an actual review...

[@appleoneill5135]

I know. I'm disappointed. Please could you give us some feedback? Thank you x

[@TheArtChick]

I am sorry , I thought the showing it part would be the best way. I liked all but the crystal because it came out matte and crystals you would want clear.

[@margaretgould1521]

love the reviews, as I use temu a lot, could you cover their resin, let us know what you think of it.

[@TheArtChick]

I am just not sure if I want to try the resin because I like already tested resin mainly from the states. I just worry it might have chemicals or maybe not, but that is why I shy away from using it.

[@natalieallen1446]

I love your work

[@TheArtChick]

Thank you I really appreciate that.

[@lindaguillemette2273]

Ive had 7 temu orders with no problems. But now I have 2 orders that say they have finally created a shipping label for, but no info on actual shipping (not picked up). Updates from temu says warehouse is too busy and I need to have patience, but I have 2 orders ($150 and a $70 order) that are stuck this way and both are late...over a week late. If they have slowed because they are so so busy, lookout on your future orders! I'm not doing anymore orders til these two get here!!

[@TheArtChick]

same. I have one in process right now. They usually are quite quick for this type of site. (appx 2 weeks) or so. But maybe they got slammed with orders because the products are actually good? I am not sure.

[@lindaguillemette2273]

@@TheArtChick idk, since I've complained they created a tracking number now, but it has shown it that way for 3 days with no movement...usps does not have it yet, just ticket created. I'm not trusting what they are telling me! I heard they opened sales to canada. I think that's whst has caused the backup. My concern is that they are not being honest with what they are telling customers. Like creating a shipping with nothing delivered to usps for actual shipping. I like companies to be honest. If they are so busy now...change the promise dates to your customers or hire more people! $5.00 does not fix that type of issues. Like I said was due march 20....its now the 26th!

[@TheArtChick]

@@lindaguillemette2273 I just checked and got a shipment notice and tracking. Fingers crossed.

[@TheAfricasouth]

@@lindaguillemette2273 I have ordered different sites all from China and some take ages to come. They would send me a tracking order but even then could not view it from the UK side, eventially 12 weeks later they arrive. think they say something like 4months if not arrived then lost. Customs can also just keep parcels if there is lots coming from them then they might slow down the orders. Good Luck!

[@miniscenesgb]

Love your work! We don't have Temu yet where I am in the UK but I do recognise some of those moulds. Wonderful work, thanks for sharing

[@miniscenesgb]

and I love the mass reveal. what a great way to do a video

[@TheArtChick]

Thank you :) I really appreciate those comments. I do have some more on the way. I hope you do get Temu in your area or like a sister company.

[@janaeaedwards7237]

Rather than days between do hours, then you have less chance of the fill line being in it.

[@TheArtChick]

Thank you for saying that. I always used to wait day(s) and maybe I have been real lucky? I don't get too many lines over all. I have heard that this helps and I will try it next time.

[@tinaclayton547]

I would have liked to see how they came and things as well. How do we know they came from temu

[@TheArtChick]

Ya I messed up my first review. They all did come I can assure you, but I hope you watch some of my other newer ones and I have the unboxing part all together.

[@silasgroenning]

How many pours does a mold last for.. thanks for videos✌️

[@TheArtChick]

I have used most of them 3 times and still going fine with them.

[@theottawahomes9855]

Have you ever done the Faberge egg from Temu. I ordered it and not quite sure where to pour the resin

[@TheArtChick]

The only egg one was a dragon that goes in the middle? I am working on that one currently.

[@kryshnamoonrose9374]

Were the layers with the big crystal points so it wouldn’t flash cure?

[@TheArtChick]

yes I have had some disasters lol But also sometimes I just run out of the mixed resin and I wait til the next day.

[@croccatcher]

For air bubbles mix slowly or get resin that doesn't bubble

[@TheArtChick]

yes , the bubbles are always such a pain lol

[@lynnenc]

Wow your work is just beautiful. No matter how many times I try to do a coaster mold it comes out with a hole in it after the epoxy cures. ☹I'm so frustrated and about ready to give up. Do you have any tips that might help me? I want to get this right so bad. Thanks so much.

[@TheArtChick]

I might be able to help , can you tell me your process and what you add in it , and the resin used?

[@lynnenc]

@@TheArtChick Hi, I added in a couple of very tiny dried flowers. I used Tumblers Coating Epoxy. I sprayed a little alcohol in the mold before pouring.

[@TheArtChick]

@@lynnenc try without spraying the alcohol in the mold first.

[@DCHope]

use deep pour epoxy or clear dry epoxy instead of tumbler coating. also work in LAYERS. fill 1/3 or 1/2 of the mold and add your flowers. after that cures fill the rest of the mold

[@theresaciba632]

Resin on a globe is a lot better idea than the way I've been doing it I've been mixing some up and using a paintbrush ruined a lot of those too LOL

[@dianemacfie-loucks6392]

Did you use any of the mica powders or paint /ink from temu?

[@TheArtChick]

I haven't yet anyway. I have so much other kinds right now so I didn't order any. I may in the future.

[@itaomahony502]

Interesting and informative. Had to turn down the sound though. Music is dire!

[@jojosmumdorothy2829]

🎉hi new sub here from the UK I've brought a kit and molds working up the courage to use it lol does the resin come out easily plz ? 🎉

[@TheArtChick]

yes it does , mostly, the more flatter open top ones come out the easiest. The most important part is the mixing of the resin in the beginning by the directions of each one (resins are different). Jump right in and just know that a mistake is learning too. I had a love hate relationship with it for a year til I felt comfortable. :)

[@jojosmumdorothy2829]

@@TheArtChick bless u thanks x

[@caseyfaulkner8482]

Can you use acrylic paint ?

[@TheArtChick]

to mix with resin? if so you can mix a tiny amount. If you mix too much it changes the resin too much and then there can be complications with curing.

[@theresaciba632]

I've been doing this stuff for about 3 years now I got a question for you what kind of resin do you use, and my comment when your diemolding like the big spikes you did separate a little at the top for a little bit alcohol down in there or maybe some baby oil or something and squish it around and they will come out so easy I've had the m go flying across the room they came out so fast and I don't know about you but there's nothing wrong with their molds and where did you get the glitter😊 oh and I understand why you only use a little bit of time in Little cup I get that but scrape it out cuz you're wasting a lot of resin believe it or not

[@TheArtChick]

For this one I believe it was EPODEX , I started with Famowood and got really familiar with that until I ventured out and started with others. I was kind shocked how different they all are. I like TotalBoat as well. I will definitely try the baby oil. - The glitter was from Temu too - 50g Bag of Iridescence Glitter 👉item link: temu.to/k/usDls6PnVKbR4mh I usually do scrape I have small molds that hang out near me and I scrape after the video is done. I am very stingy about it lol just not on camera.

Do you wear a mask using resin? Others do I heard if so what kind

[@TheArtChick]

Yes you are supposed to wear a mask. I have windows open and I don't work with resin everyday. I would just suggest to ask the resin company that you work with since I don't know the exact brand or kind to give out. I would just hate to be wrong and give bad advice.

[@Sylvia-Storm]

So are you generally happy with Temu? Is there anything you don’t like ?

[@TheArtChick]

Generally yes I am. I have to consider price and shipping times. I have only been really disappointed when I think I bought something larger and it's smaller. Probably a little my fault for not looking at sizes. I have gotten so many things that look better in person that it ways it out on the better side.. Since this video I probably have had 30 deliveries. I am behind on new videos for it.
