Wow! Love how you used the UV Resin in conjunction with the ResinCrete! I’ve been wondering how the two would work together. I’m going to have to try this! Very cool!
Love the water drop idea, could you advise what to use to seal the items like the soap trays etc that may have wet items on them,sealing and finishing, greatful for any advice please, Ray
Hi, thanks for watching, I'm glad you found it informative. It's recommended to use stone top wax to help seal material like this and I believe there is also a liquid/spray you can get that does the same sort of thing. Basically, anything, even from a basic diy store that sells waterproof sealant for porous stone, concrete etc should work fine. You'll sometimes find when you buy the starter kits for products like resincrete or aqua cast or jesmonite, will come with a small sample of wax that you can rub onto the product afterwards so that's something to look out for. I hope that helps!
I tried this, but all my droplets came loose and popped out, so I was left with little divetts, which is okay because I made it a space-themed tray so it looked like little craters. Should they have stayed in, though, or did yours eventually pop out?
Mine have always stayed in. Perhaps it’s about the curing time. I de-mold after about 30-40 mins then leave for a couple of days before adding a wax seal. So far they’ve been fine. I have seen other videos combining resin and resincrete where they’ve come apart so there is something to it, just not sure exactly to what! I’m sure the answer is out there somewhere on CZcams!
Thanks for watching! Yeah I should think that’s fine, it’ll just take a little longer to cure before you’re able to add the resincrete and you’d have to ensure the viscosity was such that it doesn’t spread out too much over that time. Uv resin is easier for this and it’s relatively cheap so I’d definitely choose that if it were me.
I have indeed achieved exactly this when using proper pigments made for eco resin. I used black to darken a primary red to make it more of an ox blood red and also with a primary blue to make a nice deep navy! Just be sure to add the tiniest drop at a time so as to not overdo it.
I have done so multiple times. The trick is to ensure that the eco resin is abrasive. So if you have an area that you want to layer some resin on, give it a sand to rough it up, then clean any loose remanence with 99% isopropyl (preferably) to ensure there's no dust or debris remaining and then you should be able to successfully adhere resin onto it. Also ensure it is fully cured - ideally a couple of days after making it so that you know all moisture is gone. It's not a 100% guarantee but it's worked for me so far. It also depends on what you want to do. So laying clear resin over some scuffed up eco resin might not be ideal so it'll be better with resin that is tinted with pigment. However, I recently started engraving designs onto my eco resin pieces and experimented with layering some clear resin over it and it worked well as it bonded with the engraved part of the eco resin really well, without me needing to scuff it by sanding it! You can check out my laser engraved eco resin videos on my channel too if you like. Thanks for watching.
As far as I’m aware, I can’t see why not. It’s a bit or miss though and also dependent on the mould - I found that the cheap mica powder I got from a Temu haul worked perfectly well, yet I’ve heard from others that they’ve struggled at times. I’d say it’s simply about experimenting. I just went for it and it worked out well.

It’s great fun to use! Thanks for watching!
Very cool 😎
Absolutely! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! There’ll be more videos on the way soon!
Great ideas❤❤❤❤ turned out beautiful.
Thanks so much! Glad you approve! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave your thoughts!
i only use RESINCRETE and have done some amazing designs.🙋♀
Excellent! It’s really versatile! Check out my Jackson Pollock inspired eco resin project too! Give it a try!
Look so cool🤟
Really enjoyed watching your video, thank you
Thank you!
All are pretty I love working with resin crete
Thanks! It is indeed a fun, versatile material!
Resin Crete is so musch fun 😊

Thanks Rob. Learnt some great things. I wasn’t sure the raindrop effect would work but it came out a treat.
That’s excellent! I’m glad it worked out and thanks for your feedback!
If you bang your table it will help release the bubbles.
Yes I’ve seen that done before. Not always necessary but worth it if you need it! Thanks for watching!
Love the heart, and the colors and effects in the tray are awesome! 👏🏻
Thank you! It’s a lot of fun to work
With! Very adaptable!
These are cool, but you will find deeper casts get the best out of eco pours, they are much stronger then.😊
Agreed! I have made some deeper ones for air plants and they were proper solid! Thanks for watching!
Great effects on the tray! I love the techniques you’ve demo’d here
Thank you! And the great thing is, it’s soooooo easy!
I find that I don’t get a headache from JDiction uv resin. They are great as they have different viscosity types
Absolutely! Very versatile and safe to use for all ages!
Thank you for your experiment! I just got my Resin Crete, so glad to know the mica powder on the mold works!❤❤❤
Indeed! It’s very easy and very effective! Thanks for watching - have fun!
Oh my gosh. Thank you for showing your experiments. Am definitely subscribing.
And thank you for watching and subscribing!!!
No bubbles,came out really lovely.
Thank you!
Nice job❤❤
Thank you!
Love the raindrop tray!
Thank you! So easy to make as well!
@@artistrobfuller definitely going to give it a go! I have just received my resincrete too! Happy times playing!
@@annagray6491 enjoy!!

I love resin Crete
It’s cleaner, u can mix it with silicone too.
Yes I enjoyed using the uv resin alongside the resincrete! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
I fill up the mould with water, then measure that to see what volume I will need from the mixed resincrete.
Yep, that’ll do it!
Very nice video! New sub here. Looking forward to future videos and will be checking out your previous posts.
Glad you approve! Feel free to leave your opinions on my previous videos - as varied as they are!
Very interesting video, lots of great tips! I only have regular casting resin, could that be used to make the raindrops?

If you add black does that deepen the red?
I have indeed achieved exactly this when using proper pigments made for eco resin. I used black to darken a primary red to make it more of an ox blood red and also with a primary blue to make a nice deep navy! Just be sure to add the tiniest drop at a time so as to not overdo it.
Are you able to cover this product with resin. Would it stick to it
I have done so multiple times. The trick is to ensure that the eco resin is abrasive. So if you have an area that you want to layer some resin on, give it a sand to rough it up, then clean any loose remanence with 99% isopropyl (preferably) to ensure there's no dust or debris remaining and then you should be able to successfully adhere resin onto it.

Music distracts from your speech.
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll bear that in mind next time. Hope you enjoyed the video regardless.
Can it be any kind of mica powder
As far as I’m aware, I can’t see why not. It’s a bit or miss though and also dependent on the mould - I found that the cheap mica powder I got from a Temu haul worked perfectly well, yet I’ve heard from others that they’ve struggled at times.
