It's apparently just the Pinata brand. Toonpish Crafts does an extensive test with 9 different brands of alcohol ink and only the Pinata faded in the sunlight in her experiment...that's great news for me as I've never heard of that brand and have had zero issue with fading with the resin alcohol inks I got from Amazon. So for those that are swearing off alcohol ink, you might be missing a wonderful opportunity for creating projects you simply can't do with paint in resin.

Remember, you're selling items to someone who is giving you a paycheck and reference for more business. I would rather make sure I have no issues with any of my products 10 yrs from now knowing my customers are happy and continue to buy from me knowing that they will never have any problem with the products that they buy than to take a risk and have one go bad and lose everything I built my business on. We need videos like these to know that we can use that product in our company as this is the result of what can happen. It's KZbin videos like these that keep us informed of what is best and what is not. Yes, the decision is yours to do what you want in your company, but me personally I would rather be informed than to wasted thousands of dollars on product that is no use for what I need. Thank you for the information as it's been great information for me and please keep up the videos as I find them very educational. Thank you, and have a wonderful week.

My husband and I came across this first hand when we were new to resin. We were trying out alcohol ink in UV resin - we knew it wasn't recommended, but mostly people said it was because the resin wouldn't cure as well, but we decided to try anyway. Ultimately the resin cured fine - but the beautiful teal green ink turned nearly pitch black. We realised it was the UV, and we haven't really used the inks much since... and thankfully we'd only bought two to try!

I was actually quite sad to hear that the pieces will fade with alcohol inks. Thankfully it wasn't too far into my learning curve that I found that out and I haven't sold very many pieces that have the inks in them. Do you know if you can do the same thing with a little bit of paint in the resin instead of the alcohol ink?

Thank you! Im very new to resin, and I had no idea there was even an issue with lightfastness of alcohol ink in epoxy. I don't think I've ever seen a better example of why lightfastness is important in relation to what we are creating. Surely there are times when the lightfastness will not matter as it will not be exposed to light for long periods of time. Coasters? Pretty as they were, they seem just as quick to fade and seem almost "rotten" like actual flowers. If that's what you want, cool... but if not... well. Lol. Thank you for this, you likely saved me many many heartbreaks in future projects.

Would it make a difference what kind of resin you use? To be honest, I often use alcohol inks in my resin projects and I have coasters, tealight holders, key chains, picture frames and more. Some are in full sunlight, others in more darker spots of my house but even after years I've seen no fading of colors.

I’ve been playing with the alcohol inks for a few months and really like how the colours react and you can swirl the colours around for different effects and it gives you both sides you can choose to display but do be careful using any flame to pop the bubbles.🤔😉 You can also put the inks in first and then pour the resin for even more different effects. When I put the inks in first, I use a solid colour resin and it doesn’t seem to fade the colours but I’m glad I saw this video. Good to have this problem pointed out.

Or like you said sell it with lots of instruction and restrictions.

A solution to this is to use a resin with extra HALS in it. KResin makes a good one as does Stone Coat. They may cost a bit more but your pigments will be protected! I have done a few little studies myself, not on alcohol inks in particular, but I sense those will be will forthcoming. LOL Steve, You are a lovely man and how boring life would be if we all agreed on everything! Keep doing what you do so well and I will continue to enjoy your lovely videos!

I invested in a bunch of different inks including Brea Reese, Tim Holtz, & Pinata. I wonder since the tumblers are solid as opposed to translucent like the coasters maybe that makes a difference. Also, I sometimes use the pinata white to aid in color mixing

I'm late to this video (sorry!) but fairly new to the resin world. I've been shocked at the number of KZbin resin folks who show using alcohol inks. I'm from the papercrafting / drawing world and it's just a basic fact that alcohol based colors (like Copics) are absolutely *not* light-fast. It's one of the reasons, despite all the amazingly talented Copic artists/ colorers there are, you rarely see it for sale. Even to give as a gift / fund raiser prize, etc. you either have it framed under UV glass or tell the recipient to do it or it will vanish quickly. Thanks for doing this experiment to show people the difference!

Hey Steve, hope you are doing better. Could you do an experiment with clothes dye in resin? I've been thinking about using it. Would like to see if it's worth my time. Thanks for everything you're doing, keep it up, and don't listen to the haters.

I have just become interested in pouring resin. Trying to do all the research as possible before I get started to eliminate the mistakes before I make them. Thank you so much for your honest reviews and teachings. I will be glued to everyone of them!

I was about to start using alcohol inks in my lures. Thanks to your video i wont be. My customers would freak if my lures lost that much color. Thanks!!

I saw a woman do experiments adding drops of alcohol on top of the alcohol inks it was fascinating she explaining how the molecules were changing why they did what they were doing! It’s pretty good ❤

Oh wow. I am soo glad you did this video. There are so many videos with people doing alcohol inks in their resin pieces that they sell. So since those inks are out what other inks can produce the same or similar results. Would love to see a video with alternative inks or dyes compared to alcohol ink to get similar results.

Steve, I just found you, so I am not in the group of treating the KZbinrs bad, or any body. I like to be nice so I can be treated the same way. I am new in resin and uv, so I am watching several videos so that when I start I can do it right. It’s amazing how your tutorial shows how the alcohol inks fade in direct light. Although the color of the faded one looks beautiful too. However, I understand your point into selling someone a beautiful colored piece and for that piece to fade as you showed us. I purchased a 24 bottles set of inks from HTVRONT and I understand that they are alcohol inks and they are being sold for resin and uv. I guess I would return it or use them for backgrounds on card making. Thank you so much for sharing your research.

I had no idea the alcohol ink faded in the resin! Thank you for sharing this information. And, I'm sorry you get such rude comments. I think you're awesome and I love your videos. Remember, those miserably rude people are just that, miserable and unhappy, and they find the need to try to make others miserable, as well. Bless their little hearts. 😉

I am so glad I watched this before using the new alcohol inks I bought specifically to use in resin!! Yikes. I planned to use it in jewelry, but now I'll save it for more appropriate applications. Thanks, also, for mentioning your other channel. I'm going there from here. I really enjoy your "experimental" spirit and the willingness to share both the victories and defeats in your studio.
