Testing 3 Fast-Set Resins with Alcohol Ink Tumblers
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 08. 2024
- I recently acquired some fast-set resin from Artistry Epoxy, and when I thought about it, I realized I also have fast-set resin from @mr.nolasglitter8094 and @KSRESIN. So then I thought, "I wonder how doing an alcohol ink swirl on fast-set epoxy resin would work?" And here we are: 3 tumblers, 9 gorgeous @woodesgoodies2437 alcohol inks, some Marabu sinker white, and 3 different fast-set resins. What could possibly go wrong??? The gnome gods laughed and laughed and laughed.

I love Swirls! Mostly swirls of color, but really any swirls at all - I think they add a beauty and grace to everything. So after I started making soap a few years ago, and needing some sort of biz name that didn't sound like everyone else's version of suds-r-us, I decided on Luxinda Swirl. Luxinda is a twist on my real name, and I quickly started putting swirls of color in all of my handmade soaps.
Now I'm branching out a bit, and I want to keep adding swirls to everything I do!

So what’s your favorite fast-set resin??
I like the ks resin
Not a huge amount of choice here for fast set. I use Amazing Quick Coat.
Was a KS liquidity split(which I still like 👍🏻) but the Artistry Fast Set has won me over these days👍🏻👍🏻😍
@@kimlandis4360 ah, interesting!! Any particular reason why the AE won out?
I have tried a few and I always go back to KS resin. I did like the Ccdiy fast set . But the smell was a little more noticeable. I tried the samples of Artistry fast set and still undecided about it. Thanks for sharing.
Cindy thank you for doing the work. Makes it easier for all of us to make buying decisions. As you know it can get expensive buying different resins to try. You're the best for sharing your experiences.
Thank you so much!! It's funny that I'm quite happy with KS Resin, yet I keep trying new resins anyway -- I guess I'm always wondering if there isn't something "better" out there (and better can mean a whole bunch of different things to different people).
Love them! Especially to green-beautiful.
Thanks very much!😊
I appreciate you testing these. It helped me choose a resin to try. Love your swirly tumblers!! you are talented!!
Thank you so much!! I’m glad the video was helpful!😊😊
I'm so glad you did this! KS Resin and MNG are my two favs!
Thank you!!
Cool experiment. My fav is the purple cup! All are pretty.
Thank you!!! 😊
I love the colors and gnomes. These turned out amazing
Thank you so much!!😊
@@Luxinda u r so very welcome
They turned out Beautiful!!!!
Thank you!!😊
Just the video I was looking for. Thank you
Glad I could help 😊
They all looked great!
Thank you!! I went a little gnome-nuts but it ties them all together… 🙄🤣
They turned out fabulous! The decals are soooo cute 🥰. My favorite is the green. Thanks for sharing 👏👍😊
Thank you so much 🤗
I loved all of them..
Thank you!!
I love them!! The colors all came out amazing and those gnomes are just 😍 thank you so much for sharing. I always look forward to seeing your videos
Thank you so much, Dee!! 😊
Very cute. Thanks for the video
Thank you!!😊
They are stunning 😍 all three are unique in their own way. And the touch of gnomes make is sooo beautiful. Thanks for experimenting. I will have to try these fast set. Stay blessed ❤️
Thank you so much!!😊
what a great comparison! I LOVE the MNG Speed Dry, had the KS Liquidity Split when I first started, and have not tried the Artistry. With the MNG for me it's basically put it on and forget it after I run a quick torch over it. Truly glass like (like their Glass Coat) and love that I can get a cup totally done and ready for final cure time in just a day!
Thank you!! I was pleasantly surprised by all three in this situation!
@@Luxinda I was really happy you used MN and was surprised that one, imo, did what the other 2 didn't. I may try a trial size just for tumblers.
I love the gnomes! All three came out beautifully, but I think my favourite is the pinky purple.
Thank you!! I definitely went a little gnome crazy here - lol!
This was so cool to watch. I love how each one turned out and love the fact they are fast acting. I also love the fact you try and show new ideas and ways to do thing. They each are amazing in their own way.
Thank you very much!!😊😊
Amazing 👏 I love each of these! A big Thank you for this video, you have made it simple for me to choose a fast set!
Thank you!! I hope you're happy with the one you choose 😊
They all turned out beautiful! Thank you for the videos!
Thanks very much! I was pleasantly surprised that there were no real issues with any of them 😁
Great looking cups and thank you for sharing this video.i look forward to seeing your videos.i got hooked watching you make cups
Thank you so much!!! 😊
@@Luxinda your welcome 😁
Good Morning ☀️ Beautiful 😍 ☕️Love Love the Gnomes & the color pics 💚💙💜so whcih one do you like better or do you feel they are similar ? I haven’t used the MNG fast set yet 🤔I LOVE the Artistry fast set has become my new favorite 👍🏻👍🏻😍thank you so much for the Fantabulous comparison Ms Cindy 👍🏻😊
Thank you!!! The MNG speed-dry is *really* thick compared with the other two. I felt like I had to use a lot more force to smear it on. So while I liked the swirls on the blue MNG cup better, I found the other 2 resins easier to use. But honestly, all three were surprisingly well behaved 😁
Such cute gnomies! And thank you for the comparison. It seems like everyone has a fast set now and I have no idea which one to try first.
Thanks!! I know, it's almost nuts how everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. But so far, the main difference I've found is the viscosity. Honestly, the thickness of MNG's speed-dry is almost daunting, but it does set up fast and has a lovely shine to it. If you can get sample sizes, it's a great way to test them out and find which you like best.
These turned out awesome. Again love anything that has gnomes on it.
Thank you!! Totally agree 😊 I wish the emoji people would come out with a cute gnome emoji!
I find I really like the bare SS tumbler, the translucency is beautiful! I am making a tumbler for a friend in Turquoise, I think I'm going to "go commando" on it, lol. Did you do the usual wash and scuff sanding? Excellent video as always!
Thanks!! I love the metal-underneath style - I think it gives the colors more of a jewel-tone look. “Go commando” LOL! I’ll have to remember that description for this 😁
I clean these cups with alcohol but don’t sand because I don’t want the scuff marks to show. I have seen one tumbler maker use an ultra-super-fine sandpaper grit to keep any marks from showing, so that’s another option.
@@Luxinda Thanks, I was wondering if the scuff marks would be an issue. I don't remember what I did on the only tumbler I made "commando" style, I don't think I sanded it.
Love them all, need to try one of them now thanks
Thank you!!😊
Great experiment! Thank you for videoing this and helping us make decisions about fast set resin. I've used the KS Resin Liquidity Split for over a year now. I love it...or maybe I'm just used to working with it. Personally, I liked the one you did with the KS Resin the best. I think the colors moved better on it, bath that's just my thought.
Thank you!! It was a fun comparison to do. I found it really interesting the the KS swirls had no lacing but the other two resins did.
@@Luxinda I've seen the KS Resin lace out. Maybe the no heat was a factor. I may try the others just to do my own comparison. You are appreciated for trying it first!
They are awesome. I am a pink and purple girl, but I like the blue one the best. Did you add any sparkle to them? Love them all!!! ❤️❤️🤗🤗
Thank you! Yes, I did add Marabu Rainbow to the final layer of each after applying the decals. It doesn't show up as well in these final shots as it would if I'd had a sunny day to record...
I love your experiments so much and I really appreciate your doing them. I have the KS L.S. and did not have great results but it was winter in MN so will try again.
Thank you!!! Yeah, so many things can affect resin, especially the fast-set stuff. I hope you have better luck in warmer weather!
It's cold here is n Michigan so I use a small heater that'll help
Where did the gnomes come from. They must be backed with white because the shoe so nice 9n dark colors. Hugs Sheryl
Those gnomes are from a store on Etsy that’s unfortunately shut down because the artist lives in Russia. They’re printed on Neato brand printable vinyl. amzn.to/3ACaO0e
Probably a novice question, but why do you reverse spin when you're done? Apologies in advance if you've already answered this a thousand times. I love everything you do, including your sarcasm 🙃 ☮️ ✌🏼️
Thank you!! It’s basically to stop the resin from all flowing in one direction and causing stripes. Reversing direction helps add more swirling. And I think you’re actually the first person who’s ever asked me that!! 🥇
I enjoyed the comparison and was looking for a fast resin. Do they have a strong chemical odor? Loved the purple one as my favorite 😍
Thank you!! To me, no they really don’t. But everyone is different, so what doesn’t seem strong smelling to me might seen very smelly to the next person. For example, I think ALE (A Little Extra) smells *awful* but others might not. I’m sorry I can’t be more help
For me it's a tie between the purple and green cups. The effects on the purple cup kinda remind me of lip prints, and the effects on the green cup remind me of vape smoke trails.
I can definitely see both! Thank you 😊
I do have one question, with the KS resin, was it as yellow in person after it was mixed as it looked in the video? The other two looked clear but the first seemed really yellow.
Yes, I've had that particular set of Liquidy Split for almost a year now, so it has aged a bit, but when I mix it and use it (even on a white background tumbler), the yellow doesn't come through (I used it for the white glitter base layer of the Anthony Crammen cup I made at Christmas time czcams.com/video/ZnitV1fLh28/video.html). It will happen with almost all resin over time unfortunately, and I didn't buy the Ultra UV version of the Liquidy Split, which probably stays clear much longer.
@@Luxinda ahhhh, it's probably the age then. I know that most resins have one side that is yellow-ish and the other is blue tinted. I've only used the AQC and I just ordered the Pro+ from glitter chimp to try out. The only bad thing about the AQC is there is no uv protection in it, but the one I just ordered does. Loved the comparison video. Thank you for answering!
@@kristajones815 sure thing! Let me know what you think of the Glitter Chimp resin!
@@Luxinda I most certainly will!
Which one was self leveling and less bubbles do you think?
I believe all three are self-leveling. As for bubbles, I noticed fewer bubbles with Artistry Epoxy’s resin when I mixed it. But since alcohol pops bubbles, I didn’t really worry about bubble issues with all the alcohol ink used (plus heat). Bubblage comparisons of the three would have to be a different video. Thank you for watching!
This might be a silly question but did u add the inks immediately after applying the epoxy ? I'm having a bit of an issue with ink spots taking long to dry and I saw someone say the epoxy should be left for like an hour b4 applying ink .
Really? Wow, I’ve never heard that even when using regular resin. But to answer your question, yes, I applied each different fast set resin, then dropped on the alcohol inks right away. If the spots are taking longer to dry, it may be that too much alcohol ink has been dropped on. That can happen sometimes even with regular resin.
@@Luxinda hi sis ...thanks so much for taking time to respond .
Yes you are on to something there , with saying to much ink may have dropped in the spot . I believe it's that and the fact that the resin coat was thin . So last night I reapplied a layer . I thi k that shud do the trick and later on today I'll do a decal as long as it's not tacky still . I'll put a final coat after the decal .
I'll let u know how it turned out 🤗👍
I have tried LS multiple times and each time it dries with waves. My turner is straight. Was told it liked high heat so I upped the temp of my room. I just can't get it to work for me. Only thing I'm thinking is maybe I stir too long? Only a few min until it's clear but I'm about to trash it. I really wanted a quick set but if the popular brand won't work for me, I don't know what will. 😔
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that! However, I do know that a lot of folks have different favorites, so I wouldn't give up on the idea of fast set because of this. I know Artistry Epoxy has 2 different fast set resins, a 1:1 and a 2:1, and they sell each in sample sizes so you can test them out without shelling out a bunch of $$ So far, I've tested only the 1:1 and it worked fine, but I have no idea if the 2:1 is any better. The difference is apparently in the viscosity. artistryepoxy.com/shop/epoxy-resin/epoxy-samples/

😊😊😊✨
Do you have to wear a respirator with them like traditional epoxy?
Well, a respirator is personal choice, but in general, these fast-set epoxies are still the same basic chemical composition as the traditional with some sort of accelerator. So, yes, if you wear a respirator for regular or traditional, then you would want to wear one with these as well. Hope that helps!
Did you say where you got the gnome images? I couldn’t find it in the description.
I didn't list the Etsy store where I purchased the gnome art because it's been closed since the artist is based in Russia.
Ok, thank you! I will continue to look on Etsy for something similar
I don't see a link for the gnomes - do you remember where you got them?
Yes, unfortunately the artist is based in Russia, so Etsy has closed her shop… that’s why I didn’t bother listing a link - it would just lead to an error message 😕
Oh boo ☹️
I'll just have to hunt around for similar.
@@Wickedkittin there is another Etsy shop that resells some of that artist’s art, but she tends to sell it as already printed decals, not the digital art that can be downloaded. I know that probably won’t help you either, but if you want the shop name, I can get it for you…
@@Luxinda yes please, that would be great
