Trying something brand new - but was it a risk worth taking?

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyyy lovelies - **Spelling error on screen .. its fate not fete** 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much for watching - let me know what you think in the comments down below :) and remember - This is a safe space :) to create without judgement :)

[@sudhagupta4458]

Absolutely right,Ms Claire ❣️

[@jodimarie379]

Hi Claire. My understanding is that Polyurethane resin is much more sensitive to moisture, dampness, humidity, etc. than even regular resin. I never worked with jesmonite, but a few other resin alternatives always seem to me to "sweat" for a good day or so. If jesmonite does the same, then I think you would have to wait for quite awhile to make sure it is completely dry. It looks super awesome tho and I like the 3-d effect 😎

[@k_pufflz]

Fete is French for party I believe and that tray is definitely a party!! Maybe in a strange twist of fate your spelling error fit 😂😊

[@marymcintyresfxartcraft7417]

I absolutely love this Claire. I agree with Tracey that perhaps the heat of the PU resin so soon after the Jesmonite had cured may have pulled out all the residual moisture, but either way it still looks stunning and being a trinket tray it's still completely useable because having a totally flat surface isn't as important as it would be for a tray for holding a cup or dinner plate :)

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

thank yoooo Mary yes I absolutely knew it - the PU had to be the culprit as this has never happened with just resin and jes before cannot wait to try again xxx

[@chippydoodle1415]

What a great experiment, thank you for trying all these ideas, they help us all so much.❤️xx

[@WendigovanStudio]

Claire, My heart is screaming at those colours. I LOVE bright neon colours so much. The end result is stunning. Shame about what happened, and I think it's always nice when we can share with others what happened if something goes wrong. I don't think it's anything to do with the polyurethane resin that's caused the blowout. I think it is just down to the Jesmonite wasn't fully cured and the moisture has caused the blowout. Good idea with decanting some of the liquid from the big bottle for the jesomnite. I have a massive kit of it and was wondering how the heck I was going to deal with it lol. My brain wasn't braining again xx

[@lucksart13]

❤❤❤ this!!

[@evelynbrown5312]

I love this, these powders will go on my very long list of things I NEED

[@MicheleHappyBunny]

I absolutely love this! Amazing! Xxx

[@trevorburgess2695]

That looks really good Claire,well done yet again.👏👏👏

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

thanks Dad :)

[@brendastanley8703]

Beautiful!!! I love it!

[@MicheleHappyBunny]

Good evening Claire! Waiting in anticipation for this video while scoffing a Chinese lol xxx

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

ooooooo jealous - now I want a Chinese :)

[@YvonneWinston-Lawford]

Too much of a risk for me an expensive mistake, mine would be even worse I’m sure

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

ohhhhh definitely a risk - this is why I told everyone to hold fire on it - I will try it again and see what we get xxx

[@GlitzyWitch]

Oh WOW!!! THAT is BEAUTIFUL!!! What a fantastic idea. I've just found your channel, i love your energy and the way you create. Absolutely fabulous ❤❤❤

[@gailwatkins2361]

Omg love it

[@Crafty_Pisces-q2f]

We are not able to get Jasmenite in the US. I will try the powers withJD DICTION

[@michelle_resinrebel]

Hi Claire love it and the colours 😍, iv bought the neon powders from lets resin they look amazing but be careful when mixing as i got some grainy bits on demould i would say mix mix and mix again i dont think its as fine as mica if that makes sence, oh strange reaction, pitty about your tray 😢, just means you get to make another one 😉 thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ xxx

[@MizJaniceResinArt]

Wow, it turned out beautifully! I admit I was thinking I wouldn't like it cuz the color seemed so blobby from the back. It's gorgeous! I love your playful way of creating. I need to take that on a bit more....

[@StephanieDwyer-t7y]

I love it! It’s got a 60’s,psychedelic, Twiggy the super model vibe to it. Absolutely takes me back to the days of my white go go boots that I had as a kid. Totally fun. I think you’re right about the jesmonite. It really needs to be fully cured before you cover it with another layer. Still a success in my eyes.

[@donnastokes496]

I absolutely love the colours together here it screams spring and floral. Shame about the bulge but I love that you mess about and experiment I would if I wasn't allergic to resin! I live through you Claire!!! 😅

[@Becka.M-D]

Would using small piping bags works for this? I wondered if piping bags would work because of the size nozzles & the different shaped nozzles you can get. I am thinking for bigger blobs. If you got the piping bags set up & ready sitting them in cups glasses with the bags over the edges. You can then scrap straight into the bag & squeeze down to the nozzle & go for it. For the little bottles, you can get bigger size screw on Nibs/Nozzles.

[@amysresincorner]

Well hello Ms Claire, that turned out absolutely stunning! I absolutely loved the end result. I was wondering how it was going to look and when you were done I couldn't believe how beautiful it was!❤

[@davehxxl]

Love this one , now I’m thinking to try polyurethane resin 🤯❤️✨fabulous tray ! 🥰

[@Leena79]

The colours are beautiful, and so fresh! These aren't the kind of colours I would personally want in my decor, but they are objectively stunning. Would it be an experiment if it worked out on the first try? The moisture from the jesmonite had nowhere to escape, and it loosened the tattoo and the epoxy. It's amazing how the smallest drop of moisture can do duch damage - but you'll get it next time!

[@lesleyhenshaw2878]

I love ❤️ this so much, you inspire me, I don’t know if I’m brave enough. Thank you Claire x❤

[@Kathy-Carr]

Thank you for the experiment, it is appreciated! I love this mold….and the temporary taco you used is perfect. Was your jesmonite product you used a beige before you added the color? There are so many different ent products like this out there. But I really want to try the polyurethane resin. Thank you! 🧭🌺

[@powerfulstateofmind]

Wow 😮😮😮 This really is "trust the process" ❤️ At first I thought I wasn't gonna like it.. but the reveal 😮😮 Stunning!! Love it!! 😍😍😍

[@MsCheesemonster13]

Not a glorious day up here in Cheshire, I’m afraid. 😟 🌧️ 💨 Never mind, I’m happy as I have a new Claire’s Crafty Corner video to watch 😊👍

[@MackieJackCreations]

This is soooooo cool, Claire! I’ve not gotten into the resin art yet, notice I say YET. Lol I’m still just working with Hydrostone, but this is so pretty, that I might have to take up the resin. 🤗

[@Becka.M-D]

Have you tried coated the top layer with another clear coat to even out the lump? I know it won’t give you a raised side, but it would be a nice long coaster that could hold a two cups/glasses instead of one. Or cup & milk for use with a tea pot. Or a cup of tea where you can sit your biscuits next to the mug. Anyways, I have found myself in a position where I am not fond of the lump which I think most of us wish wasn’t there. But what I do love is how the section that is raised up is more grey than black & I am surprised at how I like the slightly faded colour look of the tattoo. I wonder if there is a way that can be replicated but without the tattoo coming away & causing issues elsewhere. I loved this video as it surprised me as I am not a neon kinda girl, but I loved the finished piece. I hope you can rescue it so that it doesn’t go unused.

[@lourdeshambrick6050]

I recently made some badge reels with the poly resin, and after about a week, 2 had huge bumps formed on them. So it may not be the jezmanite. But your tray still looks so pretty!

[@ritarevell7195]

I love these results! The colors pop! For some reason, I thought that if you were using eco pours with resin, that you can add resin to eco, but not eco to the resin. I’m amazed!

[@sugargmum4517]

Love the colours 😍 Amazing looking Tray🤩

[@dianescraftycreations]

Stunning.. love the bright colors and the technique… so you are suggesting to wait a day to let the jesmonite dry before top coating with resin?

[@ninablack2516]

Wow..this is so gorgeous...I love the bright organicness...💛

[@MicheleHappyBunny]

I can't believe you did a resin sandwich as I did the exact same thing last week with resin, jesmonite and fast set resin! What are the chances of that?! Xxx

[@Prettynotpurrfectcrafts]

I love the neon choice for this against the black tattoo and the white, lovely tray. I didn't realise you could mix mica into jesmonite, I've ordered some AC100 to try so I'll be doing this. Last year I made a resin tray and a couple of days later backed it with PU and a week later a soggy patch appeared in the PU, Resin Pro had no idea why it would take so long to react if it was a moisture reaction. So your next result will be interesting to see.

[@Mamas-Madhouse-Creations]

Absolutely gorgeous 😍 hope you are bump free next time.❤Gail

[@judieloux3610]

Definitely want to see what happens when you wait for it to totally dry. Thank you for this video

[@cwv-artistry]

Polyurethane resin does not like florescent pigments have you ever put them directly in polyurethane resin? My experience was crazy it started foaming up and had a really bad reaction between the florescent and the poly resin so I think that's what has happened causing it to bow up. Try them in the poly resin before doing your next project and then choose if that's the route you want to go again I think straight jesmonite as the back would be preferable in this case. But it's such a stunner

[@beajackson]

Looks fabulous Claire, I think adding a little purple would look great, what do you think? 😊

[@twistedimaginings]

Apart from the special lesson 😊, I love how the tray came out. ❤ X

[@michellehancock608]

This is beautiful absolutely love the neon colours - just want to do a tray with the neon colours only ❤

[@EarthFireAmethyst]

Love this project! It turned out beautiful ! Do you think you could use plaster of paris?

[@kathrynseaman6482]

I love the colours and tattoo. 70's vibe with the neon! The bulge is a wonder.

[@toniburns81]

That is astounding I love it. I haven’t gotten into eco pours but I will now

[@gothiccharms]

I'm interested in seeing how this tray is in the future, if it settles back or stays elevated. I love the colors, very 80's! :D

[@carolt3008]

Claire that is absolutely fantastic, love this !!!

[@sandysanders4199]

Claire, I’ve had the polyurethane do that to me as well. It seems to not do it if I leave it in the mold overnight. I have no idea why.

[@christineingram55]

Absolutely gorgeous as always ..Love it 🥰

[@raquelreyes8573]

I love this video thank you i want to try to do this tray I am new with resin do you thing i can do it ?

[@adelealdridge2080]

Very pretty colours definitely a centre piece to show off

[@MackieJackCreations]

PS … maybe make your Jesmonite a bit thinner & see what that does?

[@tammysimpson4824]

Love the colours looks amazing

[@nickiechampion]

This is absolutely gorgeous!! Sooo need to try this 😊

[@barbarameriton4818]

Def one of my favourites ❤❤

[@lillielong7426]

Beautiful I love this.

[@88lynze]

Can't wait to see more of this, I love it!

[@lauriewatson2822]

SAME EXACT THING happened to me with epoxy resin, then tattoo or stickers and then polyurethane resin on the back. I ruined 2 trays this way because of course I just had to try a 2nd time to see if it was a fluke. I used no eco in mine so I am not sure it has anything to do with that. I've read of others having this problem too. Since we know both types of resin bond well to each other ...it seems like it would be the tattoo causing the problem. I hope you solve this problem because it would certainly help us all. :) BTW....Love the tray.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thank you so so much for letting me know this .. I have used Polyurethane so so many times to back epoxy.. but maybe not on this scale .. so it absolutely could be this for sure thank you ❤️❤️ so I'm n9w thinking epoxy resin would be the best way forward ... youre a star for sharing this with me thankyou ❤️

[@joanstone4162]

This turned out great!

[@allywood73]

love this, so colourful.

[@JayneHartnett]

I LOVE IT! So colorful!

[@Jendarhan64]

It is still very pretty! It makes sense if the polyurethane hardens very quickly and does not breathe, that any moisture left in the jesmonite causes that bowing effect. But love the colors and it is very cheerful!

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

yes - it makes total sense doesnt it :( I just never thought about it :( xxx

[@Sulzie65]

I love it! Beautiful!
