- Comparison of Just Resin titanium white vs Castin' Craft white resin dye to make a frothy resin wave pour on 23 cm x 30 cm plywood. I prepped the canvas with a sand coloured resin beach.
If you have another white pigment you want me to test out, let me know in the comment section below.
I used white resin dye by Castin' Craft, unbleached titanium pigment powder by Langridge, bermuda bay, turquoise basic and titanium white pigment pastes, Art Resin and DiamondCote resin from Just Resin.

Thank you. Amazing to see the difference!
Thanks for watching 😁 I had no idea it would be so different
I really like the CC, even in this video the CC side looks so much more natural and to scale IMO. Try adding a drop of white ink to the CC and it will increase the opacity a tad and come out even better. Everyone sees things differently. As long as you're having fun and enjoying your craft I say use what works best you.
Thank you 🥰
Thank you. Really need this tutorial. Nice technique of how much product to use of resin and dye. Laying it out, heating it up…perfect!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching 🥰💙
Always shake CC super well. Thanks for testing and sharing!
Will do, thanks 😁
Thanks for your test and those close ups, Now I understand the difference
Thanks 😊 it's pretty cool seeing just how different they are
Thank you for the comparison. Made it very clear, in what the difference is between them.
Great comparison thank you!
I hope it's useful!
Awesome, I love videos like this. Your making me really want that JR titanium white now 😍💙
Awesome 😁 I'm going to test whatever whites I can get my hands on now. No more being scared to waste resin 🤣
@@Procrastipainter awesome 😊😊😊 I look forward to your future tests. I know what you mean I'm always scared to waste resin too. 🤣😅
I don't know how many times I searched for white cell comparisons and they were all for something like a swipe or something. And me trying them blind is a good fail video if nothing else 🤣
@@Procrastipainter most definitely 😁😁😁
I am glad I am not the only one having CC problems with the bottle! I transfer my CC to a different bottle to make it easier for me to use. I was having problems with the lacing and like the tip to wait for it to thicken. Thank you for the comparison video!
That's a great idea! I might need to find a better bottle too. I'm glad I could help you out. Thanks 🥰
Thanks for this comparison video!🙏 I thought my problem was the resin I was using.
Thanks 😁 it could look very different from one resin to another!
Absolutely stunning 🤩
Thank you 🥰💙
I love this comparison video! I typically use CC (I cut the tip of the bottle down a little bit) and have wondered about trying Titanium White. They give two different looks but both are great 👍 Your work is amazing and inspiring ☺️
Thanks for watching and for your kind words 🥰💙 they definitely give different looks!
I love how you tested them side by side. Thamks for sharing.
Thank you. I mean this is great test . May be you can try armor art white also.
Thanks 😊 I figure side by side is the exact same conditions. I'm really wishing I hadn't re-done the castin craft side...
And I'll add armour art to my list of whites to procure from all over the world!
@@Procrastipainter I use JR Titanium White a lot in my 3D resin flowers. I have some Armor Art white but I saw someone, once, use it just as is, without mixing it in resin. I have some experiments with different whites on my channel.
Ah thanks I'll have to check your videos out too! Is the armour art an ink?
@@Procrastipainter no it's a thinner paste
Just great 👍🏻 as usual ..greetings from Egypt 👋🏼
Thanks 😁 and hi 👋
Yay!!! I use titanium all the time! Great video
It works great! Thanks for your kind words and for watching 🥰💙
Amazing work 👏
Thank you 🥰💙
Really great video, thank you for sharing
Thank you 🥰
Thanks heaps I have problems getting CC out of bottle to I have JR titanium white now and can’t wait to try it cheers from Bowen Whitsundays
Ooh nice! I had another person tell me this: Cut the very top off of the tip of the bottle. Comes out much easier.
And good luck with the JR, I hope it works well for you too!
Procrastipainter thanks for the tip keep the video’s coming love watching them
Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰
I love both of them❤
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching 💙🥰
my CC did the same. I cut the tip and shoved a small nail to open it. But I had the same results as you did
The small-ish cells? Hmm did the nail open up the dripper a bit better?
Great video. I am a newbie to resin and y goal is to do a beach scene. I never used nor heard of CC - I just bought Just Resin Titanium White which is difficult to squeeze the paint out ... I mixed it with resin and so-so results. Of course I'm still learning how to manipulate resin with the Heat Gun to get it to move ! Any tips on that ? Do you prefer using the CC for the waves ?
I had trouble with the bottle of casting craft too, had to cut the top off a little more for it to come out easier
I've started just taking the whole top off bc I need way more than just a few drips
Hey, I have had success with CC once I realized that it separates when sitting. The medium rises so it's thicker and less pigmented. You have to shake or mix it for a long time. Hope that helps
Thanks for the pro tip! I'm make sure I shake it for way longer next time
And Now, for my "Entirely Honest" Critique. (for what it's worth). Great Demo - Product Comparison & painting techniques!! - You're a Very Talented/Creative artist, eye for beauty! - "FANTASTIC" Choices of Musical & Waves sound selections!! - Musical choices are "Fabulous" for Slow dancing, "Preferably not alone". And, the Sounds of The Waves "Very relaxing." -
-AND- You even provided the Links to the Music!!! ALL around ( A- ), Actually, The Entire Video does deserves an ( A+ ) But, I didn't want it to go to your head. - Please do keep up the Great Work. - My Sincere Thanks for your Efforts & Sharing! - May Peace, Blessings and Good fortune be with you & Yours, Amen
Thank you so much 💙
thank you for this video.
Thanks 😁
Thank you for this video
No problem 🥰
The Castin' Craft is NO JOKE trying to squeeze out of that bottle! LOL. I thought it was just me! I could not get many cells, and it turned out more like clouds... but then I talked to a few people who said that they add 4-6 drops of white alcohol ink to the mixture and that really helps to get better cells. I'm going to try that next time. Thanks for sharing your video! I love ocean art!
You're definitely not the only one! Thanks for the tip and good luck with adding the alcohol ink 💙
Great comparison. Huge difference. Thanks for the post. I've been using stone coat, but I'm not convinced it's the best product for this type of project. In fact, I'm thinking it's not.
Thanks 😁 I haven't tried it with Stonecoat yet, I've only got the tabletop version. What have you been using?
Hi Liz, I have been watching many of your videos and have been trawling through all the comments, so much info there! You are so kind to answer all the questions, thank you 😊🙏🏼 Beautiful artwork, I love it! I saw that Rivka Wilkins, another great resin artist, uses Armor Art epoxy pigment white for the waves and she gets great results. She shows it in her video ‘how to get lacing/cells with resin’ under Rivka Wilkins Art. Could you perhaps test this pigment too? Would be very interesting to see how it compares 😊 Thanks and best wishes from the Netherlands
Hi Minke! Thanks for watching 🥰💙 would you believe I did test it already in this video: czcams.com/video/QS1eDR2zI3o/video.html
Let me know what you think 😉
@@Procrastipainter wow.. you are amazing! 🤩 Thank you for doing all these experiments, I can really appreciate that as a fellow scientist 😄 Sorry for asking, I was workin my way up from video #1, hadn’t reached 70 yet 😅 Looks like JR is easier to work with, I like them both actually. Can’t get either here so would have to import.
I like the way they both stretch over the surface. Like many on here in the comments I have problems creating these waves. I can’t get them to ‘slide’ over the surface creating long waves. What happens is that white pigment moves a couple of cms and than sort of dips down into the clear resin. When I try to move it further I just get a milky blur 😕 or it blends with the blue pigment creating a weird effect. What I learned from your replies is that I probably have to wait a little longer for the white to thicken more.
What I think might be the problem though is the viscosity of the resin I’m using. I have already tried different brands (and unfortunately it is all quite expensive 😅) but noticed you mentioned using high viscosity resin. I’ve looked it up and there is quite a difference between the one you use and the resin I have (6000-7250 vs 1200mPas). Have you ever tried low viscosity resin and noticed the same problems? I can’t get the DiamondCote here but I think I will order a higher viscosity resin and try it out. Perhaps it would be a solution for others on here struggling with disappointing results? 🧐
Hey fellow scientist (high five!) 😁 I find that waiting for my resin to thicken helps to get the white to kinda stay on the top section, though it does mix more the further back you push it. It also helps to prevent any cells that do form from sliding and deforming if the resin is so close to setting that it is like running through mud 😆 another sure way to stop the white and blue mixing is to have them in separate layers (blue down first, let it set, then clear with white on top). I do this often, especially if I'm using mica/ luster pigments as I don't like the pastel- blues they make with the white.
You might not need to get yet another resin if you wait long enough - consistency like cold honey works well for me.
Oh, and maybe play around with how hot/ cool your heat gun is, try the highest flow rate it gives you too. It's funny how different the cells look with diff combinations of these 2 things.
Best of luck!
I use a large metal paperclip slightly pulled apart and poke the metal length down the bottle opening jiggling in and out a few times. I hope this works for you.
Oooh great idea, thanks for the tip!
Now I know why my waves look like clouds 😡🤯 thank you for this video.
I had someone from a Facebook group tag me to say she couldn't get cells at all in her ksresin, but when she changed to promarine everything worked.
So it could be the resin or could be the pigment 😉
When making lace waves with jr...is your heat gun hot, warm or what? Low wind or high? Thank you!!!!
Heat gun is about half heat (250-300C) and I vary between high and low flow. I find the high setting pushes the white further.
Best of luck!
Hello,
Great presentation for a great job!! But what is the right product I can't find the same "Jr titanium white"?
Thank you for your answer and congratulations again for your presentations
Hi! It's titanium white pigment paste made by Just Resin in Australia.
www.justresin.store/products/titanium-white-basic-epoxy-pigment-paste
Thanks for watching 🥰💙
Thank you for a good video😁🙏
Thanks for watching ❤
New to this. Why the wait time before adding the white? What does that do for you? Thanks!
I wait for the resin to thicken up a bit, so about 20-15 minutes before the working time. It seems to hold the cells better when its thicker 👍
I have the CC and YES it doesn't come out, I always have to take the tip off and lose some. Not cool. Both are good, it depends on what look you want. I like the JR better overall, but I do like the water's edge of the CC, too.
It's so frustrating!!! And I agree about it depending what look you want 👍
Can you share what products/colors you used for the sand? It came out great!
All pigments and resin used are in the description box of the video 🥰💙 I believe unbleached titanium pigment powder by Langridge
Castin craft seems foamier and realistic but I still prefer Jr titanium white ❤
That was an awesome video. I also have a hard time with dispensing CC. I saw on someone else’s video to add white ink to CC to help with lacing. Worked fir me. What is mermaid trash??
Thanks 😁 I got a tip today after posting this: Cut the very top off of the tip of the bottle. Comes out much easier.
Which ink did they add??? I could give that a try too.
I have some mermaid trash so I can do a test with that too 😉
They used piñata white. I use Let’s Resin ink and it works. I WILL Cut the top! Thanks!
CC looks much better and natural maybe a bit more white as you said I seen some people add some drops of alcohol to break it more I am a ocean guy I always live near of it I know perfectly how it looks from above but painting is always a interpretation of nature it doesn't matter some like more texture and someone's don't I will use JR for mamoling effects good luck
Thanks for the feedback and for watching 😁
I would suggest trying to build the beach in total before adding the water. The Sepia should be under the water, and extend a bit onto "dry land", as it is the wet sand which is darker... If you pour the Langbridge Titanium and THEN the Sepia, you can blend the Sepia in fully to the water side edge... THEN add your water colors to meet that line...
My takeaway on the test is that it would look great for the Castin' craft to be the "on shore" 1st wave, then switch up to JR to get the "deeper" waves further out on the subsequent waves...
Thanks for watching!
Wow what a huge difference!! Your the first person I have seen use this white powder. I'm really glad I haven't bought anything yet. Can you tell me where you found the JR Titanium white? And did you need to mix any alcohol with it? Also I see people using different types of touches do yiu recommend one? As you can tell I'm completely new to this. I'm going to be using silicone coasters. Also thank you so much for doing this comparison 💗
Hi 👋 it's titanium white pigment paste from Just Resin. You can get it directly from their website. No need to add anything extra. Whatever torch you can get should be fine 😁
It wanted me to pay 30 dollar for shipping to buy this from Just Resins website I'm in the US too. 😑
Well considering it costs me $15 in shipping and they're only 45 minutes away, that's not that bad. You could try Artist Till Death in Dallas Texas? They carry Just Resin products 😉
@@art_by_graceinoregon Hello. This is South Korea.
I paid 40 dollars for shipping to get it yesterday😭. Good luck!
😱
NIIIICE!!
Thanks 🥰💙
Take the cap off the bottle and drill it out one size bigger, clean the cap properly and try it out carefully until you know how much more it lets through. Or you could try cutting the nozzle back a little like cutting the nozzle on a caulking cartridge I suppose too.
Thanks for the pro tip! I tried cutting the nozzle, didn't work. I'll try drilling it 👍
Is this high viscosity resin ?
Yes, I do tooo! It is hard to get out
I actually like them both :) they are different from each other
They're good for different looks, right?
Can you tell me what kind of heat gun you used? Thkx
It's a no name brand I got from eBay. 2000W variable temperature (50C-600C), low and high fan setting. It came with the nozzle I wanted 😂
Hi thank goodness I have seen someone else having real trouble at getting the casting craft out , it takes all my strength to get a drip , I also am never successful with achieving any lacing whatsoever so I won’t be purchasing this again . Great tutorial thank you .
I had someone tell me this after watching the video: Cut the very top off of the tip of the bottle. Comes out much easier.
As for the lacing, I have a feeling it just needs more pigment. I plan to try it out. And a lot more other whites in the future
I’ve been disappointed with castin craft so was useful to watch this video. I’ll give it another try with more pigment but JR will always be my ‘go to’. Good video!!! I look forward to your uploads
Thanks 😁 that's why I did the comparison - so many ppl have asked me if I've used it. This was my first time touching CC so there's definitely room for some fine tuning. I WANTED to put more pigment in but just couldn't get more out! Will def be trimming the tip off the CC. But I'm strangely excited to try new whites now 😁
Thank you so much for getting back to me I will definitely cut the top off & see how I get on , I am a complete novice so any advice is always a bonus to hopefully making less mistakes . 😀👏🏻
Good luck! And let me know how you go 😉
Great video, do you always wait 20 minutes after mixing just the white or are you waiting for later to set a little?
Thanks 😁 I wait for the resin to get thick enough, which in the case of DiamondCote is about 20-30 minutes after I finish messing with all the mixing and blending. If you're using a different resin it will be a different amount of time, but you're basically waiting for it to set a little so it holds the cells instead of spreading and mixing.
@@Procrastipainter BTW I couldn't get my CC out either, I thought something was wrong with the bottle..I felt like the tip would explode so I finally cut the tip.:)
Me too! Well, with thinking it would explode. That's the main reason I stopped adding more pigment, I thought I'd end up with the whole bottle popping in there 🤣
So as long as I wait for the resin I poured to get thick I should be ok? I can pour white right after mixing, don't have to wait for that. Correct? Sorry for all the ?s
Well, you can pour the white straight away. But I find if I do that, the resin spreads out and the white ends up where it wants, not necessarily where I want. Like the clear will roll over the top of the white (as it's heavier). And it's much easier to check how thick it is if you leave it in the cup
Nice
Thank you 🥰💙
Love the video and your music - can you share the music titles also?
Thanks 🥰 the music attributions are in the description box for each video 😉
After watching this video how to, going with the JResin, looks better than CC. By any chance do you know David A.Smith, he is glass embosser , gold leaf, great artist that I know. He lives in the same town as you.
I too like the look of the JR cells. I looked him up but he's in another country - I'm in Victoria, Australia 😉 the beach sounds are from Torquay on the great ocean road, just up from Bells beach 🤙
Titanium love)))
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching 💙🥰
Can you tell me the temperature of the heat gun?
I keep it at about half heat. It has no numbers on the dial so I'm guessing it's about 250-300C
Hi , hoe heet het apparaat waar je de golven mee maakt ??
Hi newbie here. Where can I find this white pigment? What is the proper name?
Hi! All of the pigments are listed in the description box. The white is titanium white pigment paste from Just Resin
I actually like the crastin craft side looks more realistic and yeah it’s hard to get out maybe so you can control the drops that you put in but if you have arthritis forget it 😂 I have both those whites so excited to do this
Thanks 😁 I think with more practice (this was literally the first time I've touched Castin craft) I might get a nice soft lacing. I agree, the smaller cells would look better for a far-away / aerial look. I had another person say: Cut the very top off of the tip of the bottle. Comes out much easier.
@@Procrastipainter the problem with cutting the tip you have no control of the amount of drops they do that on purpose so it’s controlled! And it may dry out the product more quickly?. Anyway it’s a good hand workout! 😂🥰
True, very true. But if I can't get it out, I'm never going to use it. The cap should stop it drying out, shouldn't it?
I agree
To cut out not to cut? The tip is the question
When using the heat gun do u just use the low speed or both?
With the concentrator nozzle I use low because if its high the resin sprays across the room!
Thank you!! 💕💕💕
So basically with the adapters u really never need to use the high speed on the heat gun right?
I use high with the platypus adaptor as it pushes the white further. So it will depend on what adaptor you're using and how much push your heat gun has
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions!! You are the best!! 💕💕💕
Any time, I'm happy to help 😉 and good luck!
Could you put the time you waited on the video, so that beginners have an idea on how long to wait
I'm still learning about this method. My last attempt I had lacing but my blue was still to soft (next time I'm letting it fully harden) and the white was able to move about and sink so I lost 90% of my lacing 😢. But I learnt the white needs to surf (sorry for the pun) over the very thin layer of clear and when both are getting to the setting point 🤞 this was a good video on comparison I'm using titanium dioxide white mica 👌😉🫶🤞🤞🤞also I'm waiting for my new spouts for my heat gun 👌
Ooooo I wouldn't let the blue fully harden. Mix one batch of resin, separate into your different colours and leave the white to sit (put at the rest on your piece). When the white is thick like cold honey I've found it holds the cells without blurring so much. Also, if you're using a powder, you might want to make sure you're adding enough. If you dip your stir stick into the white and hold it to run off, can you see through it or is it completely opaque?
But you def have the right idea with the surfing analogy 🤙and yes, different adaptors will give different looks depending how far you can push the think white film.
Best of luck and thanks for watching 😂💙
Is there a distributor in the US
Yes, Artist Till Death carry Just Resin brand
I pushed so hard on the cc bottle I literally popped the end off!! Better stop eating spinach i guess!! I like them both for different reasons, but really like the jr because you dont need as much, but with the cc I always add a drop of alcohol ink to give it a bit more zip. That said, the jr is just easier!! Beautiful work!! Do you put a clear coat over the top for a finish of smoothness?
Oops!! Yeah when I was trying to cut the tip down on mine I had the whole end pop off 🤦♀️ if I get around to trying Castin craft again I'll try the alcohol ink tip 😉 thank you!
I'm not sure what you mean about the clear coat for smoothness. If you mean the edge of the white to the canvas, I don't bother with a flood coat
I had the same issue with that stupid bottle. I had to cut the inside out and shove picks up it over and over and it still doesn't work right. I'm all set with needing to work that hard. I'll get something else lol
Lol I tried to use it again yesterday and just hurt my hands trying to squeeze it out 🤬 stupid bottle
Does anyone know what would be an equivalent to JR in Canada or the US?
You can try mermaid trash. It’s works pretty well for me!
You can get JR from Artist Till Death website in Dallas - they stock JR pigments and resin. Mermaid trash is on my list to try too!
my casting craft is just as hard to get out. it’s frustrating 🤔
VERY frustrating! I've started taking the whole top off and just pouring it in 🤣
Seriously, the dropped bottle for CC is the worst!! It's not just you lol
Ahh thank you 😁
Yes, I had problems too..but I kinda poked it with a pin multiple times to make the opening a little bigger, now it flows better.
I tried that and almost got the pin stuck 😆 didn't seem to make it any easier so I just took the top off and poured it 👌
How do I get jr
Hi! You can get Just Resin products from here www.justresin.com.au/store
Yes , cast n craft takes all my strength to squeeze 😂
I can see why! Got a suggestion about it from someone else: Cut the very top off of the tip of the bottle. Comes out much easier.
The struggle is real ladies 😂 thought it was me. Not lifting enough whilst no gym 😂
LOL do you even lift 🤣🤣🤣
yes mine is virtually impossible to get out.
The bottle really doesn't want to give it up!
I don’t understand in the description how to order the resin. I watched another one of your videos and had the same problem. If you posted it my apologies…maybe consider making it much more pronounced
The resin is DiamondCote made by Just Resin. You go to their website to order. As in www.justresin.store/collections/diamondcote
Or if you're in USA, Artist Till Death carry Just Resin brand products
mix them together and see what happens
I'm guessing a blurry mess 🤣
just pinch the tip pf the bottle with a nidle
Thanks for the advice 💙👍
WOW no comparison!!!!
Very different, hey. Thanks for watching 🥰💙
