Resin leak 💀

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone ! I purchased some master chef mini brands and was very excited to make them. However even after all this time they are still sticky and leaking despite me putting them under the blue light for hours. Is there anyway to cure it or seal it ? I've considered maybe using hot glue on top ? Any advice would be great

Issue with Resin Game Controller Buttons

1 Upvotes

Hi there,

I’m new to resin casting and have been following a guide to cast some small game controller buttons using epoxy resin. I’ve ensured that I’m using the correct proportions (by volume) and mixed it well, but each time I try the buttons come out very tacky (like if I touch them they stick to my finger). This happens even after 24 hours or so. Interestingly, I left the extra resin in a cup in the same location and it cured perfectly (hard and not sticky).

Since this is my first experience, I wanted to ask the experts. Is this a common issue with casting very small pieces? Any tips or should I perhaps try a different brand or type of resin? Thanks so much for your help.

I messed up with chameleon flakes. Help!

2 Upvotes

I painted the mold and it looked promising. Then when I devested, it looked pretty cool where it had adhered, but many places were devoid of the chameleon effect. The rest of it came right off by touch. So now I’m wondering: can I somehow paint the chameleon flakes onto my acrylic art piece directly? Then how do I keep it from coming off when touched?

How do I create an orb of various colors in layers without having a solid line between them?

2 Upvotes

First time dealing with epoxy.

I think I got everything I need... including a mold for 4 inch sphere and am aware that I will have to do in layers.

My goal is to have an ocean diorama type of sphere where the deeper parts are dark navy blue and slowly gradients to a clear at the top.

I am worried that if I just mix all layers separately and pour them in series, that all the colors will mix together, but if I wait until each layers is cured, the layers will have a distinct horizontal division...

Any tips? thank you!

Help remove superglue from resin?

1 Upvotes

Hi there! I have a Halloween replica of John Hammonds staff from Jurassic Park and the amber piece is made of resin. I recently moved, dropped the staff, and the resin part broke off. I managed to superglue it back on, but when I was doing it, I realized I put it on upside down. I managed to fix that, but didn’t wipe the glue off so it dried. What’s the best way to get rid of the super glue stains? I don’t really know to ask this, so apologies in advance mods if this isn’t the place!

I think it turned out pretty great!! The flowers are fairly easy too . This was a last minute thing. I had a little extra clear left and just a tiny bit after to make the white . I can’t believe it turned out so good . Only a couple heavy white spots . This is so exciting!!!!! I’m going to end up spending so much money on resin 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Advice on making a specific silicone mold

2 Upvotes

Hey y'all, I've been wanting to make photocard/tcg molds, but don't know where to continue. There are a few options on etsy for molds, but they're not exactly what I want.

Should I try buying a model I like and try to split it in two? Or should I make an example out of other materials and try to make the mold from that? I want to avoid wasting as much silicone as possible, which is why I'm asking in advance before going any further.

How can I make resin look like sea glass?

Post image
42 Upvotes

Hello! I need to make faux sea glass for an art project and I happened to come across these dice on Etsy made from resin that have the exact same look I wanna go for. What type of resin should I use and what else would I need to add to achieve this effect? Will plain silicone molds be okay or will I have to coat them with something beforehand? Thank y'all in advance!
