I know this is an older bideo but it was very help full gor me. Putting a top coat on a bottle opener for instance helps me. Im new & i do find flaws. Thanks for sharing your talents
I've been trying to get help because apparently I'm doing it wrong. My jdiction device has 3 settings- 60, 90, 150 seconds. Even at the lowest setting, the dye I add shrinks up and deforms the resin slightly. And when I demold, there is a sticky mess. Using high viscosity.
Thank you for the video. Very straightforward and helpful. I am curious though, you talked about it being a little resin, and also a lot of resin, depending on what you're familiar with.... if you could give a rough estimate, how many of these keychains do you think your bottle of resin would cover? Thank you again.
OMG I’m so happy I found this video. I already use expoxy resin… the two step… and it’s sometimes so hard to get the bubbles out. This will be much easier for me to use. 🤦🏾♀️ how did I not know about this until now🤔😒😂 I have seen it a million times but never knew 🤯 I just wonder if it has a smell like the epoxy 🧐🤔 I shall find out soon. Thanks again for this video 🆗💝
how do i ventilate my room to work with uv resin? i’m completely new to resin and i don’t have a clear idea on how i should ventilate my workspace to work safely with uv resin. please help?
Thank you for the video. Which brand of UV resin do you recommend? I don't do that much resin so this might work for me. Thank you so much for the video.

@@DesignBundles Thank you so much, Becky. I put them in my list to order for Monday and by following your link, I found THE perfect jars for my mica powders which literally saved me $100.00 - YOU are AWeSOME!
@@DesignBundles Do you know the Wattage? I had a 36w and stuff was still sticky after putting under the light multiple times. I am going to need a stronger wattage.
What type of UV resin are you using. I have tried 2 types now and both are tacky after My nail lamp is 120watt I have tried using the low setting , putting it higher up , letting cool between. Nothing seems to help. Any advice would be awesome. Great video and beautiful keychains.

@@DesignBundles After doing a lot of research one little comment stood out and it was if the room is not room temp but cold it could cause an issue. My room is above a patio and gets a lot colder then the rest of the house. I keep a heater in there when I’m doing my 2 part epoxy but don’t run it all day unless working. So I warned up the room and wrapped the Uv resin in a shirt to get it to room temp about 72-75 then tried and it worked. Perfectly. Lesson learned to anyone struggling getting UB resin not to be tacky is don’t do it in a cold area. Don’t warm the resin in water or heater just rub the bottles or wrap them in something to get a bit warmer. Both types did work but the one still has a weird feel to it not tacky but not smooth as glass
Ultimate Crafting I have the same issue trying to make glitter pens and I gave up bc it was still tacky and not smooth like all these other people that make them. Theirs looks shiny and mine is tacky. I'm in NJ so it's still cold here to leave in direct sunlight. So if the kitchen area is like 68 it won't cure properly then? We never put the temp to 75 that is too hot in the house for everyone. Plus I'm sitting in the kitchen and the window is in front of me bc I do the work in the corner bc that's where my desk is set up.
Hi Mary! If you are using a UV Resin, then yes, you would want to use a LED UV light. Many of them include the ability to set the time as well 😊 - Dawn
I just bought the color pour UV hard resin, and I like it. It's my first UV resin. I have a 9wat lamp but I have a 120Wat coming in the mail.

Your tutorial is awesome, I am going to try glitter, I wanted to know how to do it, thank you so much for showing us. 🥰
Hey Colette, I haven't had any problems using darker glitter colors. I *believe* as long as you're not using a dark color mold, the color of the glitter doesn't make a significant difference. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hi, I have recently started working with UV resin, is it safe to use indoors? I tried outdoors in the shade and the uv rays were too much for it and it would harden too fast even before I used the light.
It may depend on the lamp you are using. Any that are sticky, I would try to leave them in the sun over-day and see how they turn out. If you have a weak lamp, the UV resin might not cure all the way. Thanks for watching and let me know if that helps!
Sorry Aris, I know this is frustrating for you. You can apply a second coat, just try to get it as smooth as possible before curing with the UV light. Hope this helps! ---Becky
To avoid "fisheyes" make sure to clean away any fingerprints, dust, oils etc with alcohol 😁 let dry and then coat... U can sand those pieces and clean them with alcohol since they have bumps.. the white from the sanding will go clear again❤️
I'm starting out with UV resin. I have experience with regular resin, but I've never used the UV stuff before. Is there a brand you recommend and should I get a kind that's no mix or a part A and part B that's 1 to 1 mix like the kind of regular resin that I'm familiar with?
Any UV lamp with a good wattage should work, I believe all the lamps we are using for UV resin originated for gel nails, but I could be wrong. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles Hello Dawn, just whatever comes with the Cricut, and the program from Mr Crafty Pants. I hope this answers your question. Thanks for responding.
This might be a stupid question but do you still need to use a vented mask in a vented area with the UV resin like it’s recommended for the epoxy resin?
Great question! The box for the UV Resin I use says that it is Non Toxic and to just wear eyeglasses and gloves. I would just check with the manufacturer and ask for their safety information if it's not readily available, each one could potentially be different. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hi, thanks for the video. I find that my keychains have little popped bubble holes after its cured (even though I've run a lighter over them before putting then under uv lamp). Any idea how I can stop this from happening 🥰 thank you so much
Hi there! First, to prevent the bubbles from forming you can stir slowly and pop the bubbles in the resin before its poured. However, if the bubble holes do appear, you can always fill them with resin if they are large enough. - Dawn
When printing out a bunch of files, some are just pictures and some all text for a uv key chain. How do you flatten the file so it prints as one piece?
Hi Michele! Which program are you using? If it's Cricut, you can highlight all of the parts and then click the "flatten" option in the bottom right hand of the screen - Dawn 😊
I’ve tried UV resin a couple times now, and each time, I let it sit for 24 hours before touching, then I run my finger across it and it leaves a finger smudge. Any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong? Or how I can solve it?
Hey Terri, it may not get enough UV rays from the lamp. If this happens to me, I set them in direct sunlight for a few hours. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hey Missy! Sometimes if my resin is still sticky, I'll set it in direct sunlight for a few hours and that hardens it right up. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hey Patricia! I bought these a few years ago on eBay. Sorry I can't be more help. They were reasonably priced, but I remember the shipping was crazy since they come assembled in one piece. Good luck!
Hello. Thank you so much for this great video. i want to ask that: i use paper stickers on acrylic keychains. Can i use uv resine only to protect them on coat?
Hi there! Yes, you can use UV Resin on the keychain but we recommend sealing them with decoupage glue before the resin to prevent the resin from soaking in or staining the sticker.
Hey there! Would you mind sharing a little more abou the process? It sounds like they aren't in the best drying condition. Could it be the temp or humidity? Too much resin?
@@DesignBundles I use the silicone molds. I pour the uv resin in the little cup i add some glitter not a lot. Stir it then pour into mold. Hit it with the UV lamp that came with the resin 90 secs then 30 sec from underneath. Wait an hour unmold and the next day it’s so tacky and soft. If it’s hard it sticky
UV Resin works best on surfaces that won't bend or give. The acrylic is a very hard surface, so it works very well. I think most phone cases have at least a little give to them, which may result in cracking. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hey Rosi, I'm not as up to date on protective equipment for UV resin, but from what I hear for regular 2-part epoxy, you want a face mask that will filter out organic vapors. I would probably check out a few of the Tumbler or Epoxy Facebook groups, those ladies are crazy knowledgeable about the gear you need. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hey there! To be honest, if you have time to leave them in direct sunlight, you will get amazing results. But for a UV lamp, the higher the wattage, the less time you will need to cure and you will have more consistent results. Hope this helps! ---Becky
I have a mermaid tail that I take Into the pool for swimming, it has 5,000 plastic scales, I want them to be shinier, can I just paint on some resin??? Will it stick to plastic? Waterproof?
Good question! Resin can be an option for you. One problem is that resin is self-leveling, so I'm afraid that it would "slide" off the shape of the mermaid scales and pool around the sides. You can certainly try UV resin as it cures faster under a UV lamp, but I'd hate to risk ruining your keychain if the resin doesn't work well. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hi there! Would you use the resin after engraving or are you asking if the Glowforge can engrave on customized resin? Just making sure I get the question correct!

Hey Jim, sometimes they do but not as often as 2-part epoxy it seems, or maybe it's the brand. You can heat it to pop the bubbles, and some also use a very light alcohol spritz. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hiii sis that uv resin your are using uv Hard or soft???? And one thing can I use uv resin for my clay charms for giving a clear coting instead of using varnish????
I'm pretty sure it could work since it's a pretty hard surface however I think polyacrylic or polyurethane might work better for what you're looking for.
What resin are you using? The one I'm using is still sticky after it's finished curing. Like a residue. Is there something I can use to clean these off?
Hey Patty! The UV Resin I used in this video is from Amazon, I'll link it for you below. UV Resin is ued on it's own in place of 2-part epoxy, no need to combine the two.

Hello! I don’t have a light like yours to dry up my resin- would my own lamp at home work the same way or even leave it outside by the sunlight work? I have never used resin before and I am trying to learn how to use it for my next video :) The only other light I really have is a black light flashlight lol-
I personally don't use PPE with the UV resin, but I am a little suspicious after using two-part epoxy and learning of the harmful side effects. It's always best to research the brand you use and use caution when needed. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hey Katika! I've only had this issue when I let my bottle sit for too long. UV Resin has a relatively short shelf life compared to other crafting materials. If this is a new bottle, I would check with the manufacturer. Hope this helps! ---Becky

How many ml's of resin are you using for the glitter backing? I am an epoxy person so used to measuring! lol
When printing out a bunch of files, some are just pictures and some all text for a uv key chain. How do you flatten the file so it prints as one piece?
Hi Michele! Which program are you using? If it's Cricut, you can highlight all of the parts and then click the "flatten" option in the bottom right hand of the screen - Dawn 😊
I’ve tried UV resin a couple times now, and each time, I let it sit for 24 hours before touching, then I run my finger across it and it leaves a finger smudge. Any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong? Or how I can solve it?
Hey Terri, it may not get enough UV rays from the lamp. If this happens to me, I set them in direct sunlight for a few hours. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Do I need to mix harder with resin for this ?
Hi there! What resin are you using? - Dawn
Uv resin
Why resin already sticky after bering under light any tips.. have the same brand as you.
Hey Missy! Sometimes if my resin is still sticky, I'll set it in direct sunlight for a few hours and that hardens it right up. Hope this helps! ---Becky
I want to know where you got those FABULOUS card stock paper racks!!!
Hey Patricia! I bought these a few years ago on eBay. Sorry I can't be more help. They were reasonably priced, but I remember the shipping was crazy since they come assembled in one piece. Good luck!
Hello. Thank you so much for this great video. i want to ask that: i use paper stickers on acrylic keychains. Can i use uv resine only to protect them on coat?
Hi there! Yes, you can use UV Resin on the keychain but we recommend sealing them with decoupage glue before the resin to prevent the resin from soaking in or staining the sticker.
Im curious as to why my pieces end up being sticky.
Hey there! Would you mind sharing a little more abou the process? It sounds like they aren't in the best drying condition. Could it be the temp or humidity? Too much resin?
@@DesignBundles I use the silicone molds. I pour the uv resin in the little cup i add some glitter not a lot. Stir it then pour into mold. Hit it with the UV lamp that came with the resin 90 secs then 30 sec from underneath. Wait an hour unmold and the next day it’s so tacky and soft. If it’s hard it sticky
What's the svg for the letters ? Love that layers.
What kind of vinyl is it
The vinyl is just permanent vinyl. 😊
I have question how do you prevent your uv resin from cracking. Because I put uv resin over my phone case
UV Resin works best on surfaces that won't bend or give. The acrylic is a very hard surface, so it works very well. I think most phone cases have at least a little give to them, which may result in cracking. Hope this helps! ---Becky
As a beginner I know to get supplies ready..... what type of mask/ventilator do I need for these small crafts?
Hey Rosi, I'm not as up to date on protective equipment for UV resin, but from what I hear for regular 2-part epoxy, you want a face mask that will filter out organic vapors. I would probably check out a few of the Tumbler or Epoxy Facebook groups, those ladies are crazy knowledgeable about the gear you need. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Tru it’s only 2 part that need safety stuff
Hi, I love your videos they're so well structured I was wondering which lamp do you use? I'm having issues finding a good lamp
what is the best UV lamp to use? My UV resin is NOT getting hard ... ,, PLEASE HELP
Hey there! To be honest, if you have time to leave them in direct sunlight, you will get amazing results. But for a UV lamp, the higher the wattage, the less time you will need to cure and you will have more consistent results. Hope this helps! ---Becky
I have a mermaid tail that I take Into the pool for swimming, it has 5,000 plastic scales, I want them to be shinier, can I just paint on some resin??? Will it stick to plastic? Waterproof?
Good question! Resin can be an option for you. One problem is that resin is self-leveling, so I'm afraid that it would "slide" off the shape of the mermaid scales and pool around the sides. You can certainly try UV resin as it cures faster under a UV lamp, but I'd hate to risk ruining your keychain if the resin doesn't work well. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Does the resin have to be sanded after it's been cured?
No sanding is required 🙂
I’m making a stain glass door for my dollhouse and I’m getting cracks after a few hours
What am I doing wrong ?
Hey Cindy! Sorry to hear about your troubles, I haven't personally had any cracks before. What surface are you applying your UV Resin to? ---Becky
Can I still use the resin if I engrave with my glowforge?? Would it still look good ? Or would the resin look weird in the engraving ?
Hi there! Would you use the resin after engraving or are you asking if the Glowforge can engrave on customized resin? Just making sure I get the question correct!
@@DesignBundles I would engrave on the acrylic and then pour the resin on top of the engraved acrylic keychain. 😊
I think that sounds like it could work! If you have the materials it can't hurt to try! 😄 It's always fun to try something new!
What brand of uv resin did you use?
Hey Stephanie! This is just a brand I found on Amazon, I'll link you below. Hope this helps! ---Becky

What kind of lamp do you use for resine? Is it an specific one or is the same that the people use for nails? Thanks.
It is the same one used for nails, a UV lamp. Try to purchase one that is at least 45 watts or higher. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles do you know the name brand? I’m looking for one that shape but they are all under 12watts
With adding glitter to the resin, is it bumpy after it's cured?
Hey Brandi, not as long as you use the extra fine glitter. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Does UV resin have bubbles? If so, can you burn them out with a flame like other resins?
Hey Jim, sometimes they do but not as often as 2-part epoxy it seems, or maybe it's the brand. You can heat it to pop the bubbles, and some also use a very light alcohol spritz. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles
Thanks Becky. I will try that.
Does it have a strong order?
It's not a strong odor, however all resin does have some type of smell to it. - Brittany
Hiii sis that uv resin your are using uv Hard or soft???? And one thing can I use uv resin for my clay charms for giving a clear coting instead of using varnish????
Plz help me
I'm pretty sure it could work since it's a pretty hard surface however I think polyacrylic or polyurethane might work better for what you're looking for.
What resin are you using? The one I'm using is still sticky after it's finished curing. Like a residue. Is there something I can use to clean these off?
When this happens to me, I set the project in direct sunlight for a bit and it usually hardens right up. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles awesome thank you~ 💗
What resin do you use? Does it have to be used with an epoxy or just the resin?
Hey Patty! The UV Resin I used in this video is from Amazon, I'll link it for you below. UV Resin is ued on it's own in place of 2-part epoxy, no need to combine the two. Hope this helps! ---Becky

Can you tell me where you got the flower SVG...I love it!
Design used is always linked in the description if available 😊 designbundles.net/vinylmecrazy/733763-be-kind-be-brave-be-silly-be-you-sunflower-dxf-svg
@@DesignBundles Thank you!!! I just got excited!!! Thanks for the reply!
Where do you get your acrylic blanks? I have 2 inch but I feel like that’s a little on the small side
Hello Amanda!
You can find them on Etsy! 😊
@@DesignBundles thank you ☺️
Do you have a link to the uv lamp you got?
Hey Shelby! Unfortunately my exact lamp from Amazon isn't available anymore, BUT I'm happy to report that any lamp will work, just check out the ones that are 48 watts and higher. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles I found the one you used but it is only a 24w - will that be okay - I like the stand for yours - better than the curved one for nails.
Hello! I don’t have a light like yours to dry up my resin- would my own lamp at home work the same way or even leave it outside by the sunlight work? I have never used resin before and I am trying to learn how to use it for my next video :) The only other light I really have is a black light flashlight lol-
You can definitely use direct sunlight, it works great, it just takes a little longer. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles thank you so so much! I really appreciate it and this helps a lot, thank you so so much!
Does it smell? Do you have to use PPE?
I personally don't use PPE with the UV resin, but I am a little suspicious after using two-part epoxy and learning of the harmful side effects. It's always best to research the brand you use and use caution when needed. Hope this helps! ---Becky
My UV resin is pretty thick coming out the bottle, a lot thicker than what yours looks like. What can be the issue? Is that not unusual?
Hey Katika! I've only had this issue when I let my bottle sit for too long. UV Resin has a relatively short shelf life compared to other crafting materials. If this is a new bottle, I would check with the manufacturer. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Try warming the bottle up in a lil hot water "bath" to make it thinner 😁 also helps to get rid of bubbles 😉❤️
