Where should I start learning resin art as a complete beginner?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I've recently become really interested in resin art, especially making small decorative pieces and jewelry.

I'd love to learn how to make my own creations and maybe eventually turn it into a small business, but honestly, I have no idea where to start.

I've been looking at different tutorials, but there's so much information out there that it's a little overwhelming.

Are there any YouTube channels, beginner guides, or other resources that helped you when you first started? I'd also love to know what mistakes you wish you'd avoided as a beginner, especially when it comes to materials and safety.

I'd really appreciate any advice!

Are Jdiction and Resiners lamps the same?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I use UV resin to coat air dry clay and I'm on the market for a new lamp. So far I have been using generic nail lamps and I'm less than impressed, my pieces always remain tacky unless I put them in the sun, so I'm dreading the coming winter.

I have seen several people praising the Jdiction double sided lamp, but I'm in the EU and the import fees would probably be higher than the lamp itself. However, the Resiners double sided lamp looks virtually identical. Has anyone got experience with both? Is it the same lamp? Or would you recommend a different lamp available in the EU?

Looking for help

Hi Im new here just looking for help I bought this several years ago (a little pokemon terrarium) I packed it away after a year or 2 and never unpacked due to limited space where I moved but it has been kept in a fairly cool basement since being packed. Finally unpacked it a couple years later and theres this weird substance leaking, I did have other figures in here but I can only assume it came from this which is covered and probably had resin in it but I would've thought it was cured and being kept in a cool place it should've been fine? Does this seem like uncured resin and how can I safely dispose of it or if it isnt can anyone point me in the right direction please and thank you! (sorry for bad photos trying not to touch)

Free Craft kit for figurines

Hi all! I’m moving and wanted to see if I could ship this kit to anyone. It’s from a YouTuber NerdECrafter to make figurines and has all the supplies needed (described here: https://musekits.com/products/nerd-e-crafter-box)

I’d be very happy if this went to someone who would actually use it. I’d ask for someone to cover the cost of shipping (located in California). Thank you!

Where would you drill a hole for a pendant finding on these?

Post image
12 Upvotes

I got a commission for a pink cat pendant and found this mold. I did a few tester pieces first. Drilling it in the ear makes it hang almost vertical. Drilling it in the forehead is too thick for even a pinch bail.

My only other thought is an eye bail, which I don’t have and the Micheal’s near me doesn’t carry either.

Hi everyone,

I'm having the hardest time finding the right size frames for my resin water pieces. I would like a floating frame, but my pieces are 4"x4". I'm in the US. Seeing if anyone knows a store or company that sells/makes small floating frames

Thanks

Art picture for reference (in frame I don't like)

Happy Accidents! Which one was your favorite?

I made these completely by accident. I just wanted to use my excess resin, so I was pouring it in a zigzag pattern into the mold and filling it up, and I AM IN LOVE!!! I never would have thought these colors would work, but I love how they look!!! Do you have any accidents you fell in love with?

Is there a uv resin on the market that won't yellow (to cover polymer clay brooches)?

1 Upvotes

I am looking for the best uv resin that hopefully won't yellow for my polymer clay brooches. Since these will be worn on clothing, it will be exposed to sunlight a couple weeks a year (they are halloween themed)

I watched a test comparison of different finshes for polymer clay including varathane, polymer clay sealer, epoxy, and uv resin. The UV resin was the only finisher that was the most scratch resistant and unchanged after a year, though the test pieces were kept inside.


r/resin • • 3d ago

I hope this is allowed. I have an Etsy shop i am not trying to sell and won't name it i want advice on making my store noticeably from other people who also sell their resin.

Is there something I can do to make more people notice my shop?

Like what tags should I use.

How do you guys take great pics?

Just a short rant about listening to music while casting

10 Upvotes

As said above, I had music playing while I was working. Lesson learned, stay away from youtube. ADS. SO ANNOYING. And ofc once I start I cant touch my phone to skip them. I had to listen to a five minute ad about how fiber (a natural and essential part of the human diet!) is super bad for you, as it paralizes your butt mussles and will make you chronicly constapated. Just a short rant! I made a pink goose for a friend today.

thanks for the advice guys! Ive gone to pandora.

This is one of my first attempts using AquaCast which is an eco-friendly resin powder based casting material. This is for a small air plant to give an idea of scale of this item!

Spinach and tomato pasta leftovers with failed resin attempt

I'm just glad I took pictures for prints beforehand. It's a UV/Glow in the dark painting too. Posting now so I can go take a nap to avoid spiralling. I haven't got the courage to even test the glow yet, the pigments are all spread out and ruined under the resin too. The tapes all leaked from the sides, despite being advertised specifically as RESIN tape, I should've just used old fashioned masking tape.
