When I was a child, my mother had a resin craft kit. I set two plastic 1/24 scale toys into a resin mould. That was 1973, I still have that mould as one of my lifes treasured possessions 👍👍
Amazing! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Plasticraft it was called. Probably noxious chemicals but I loved making jewellery etc
I still have some of my efforts from my plasticraft kit. A stamp and a coin, I think.
@@joannenash5377 I had that too, was fun
The bubbles are normal! If you run a torch or a flame over it lightly, it'll pop the bubbles. Watch the resin folks on CZcams. You could do a Thames river bank diorama!
Pressure pots are also handy to use, but as you say a torch would be cheaper and easier for this thinner stuff
As you're walking over stuff... I'm yelling "Wait! Go back...pick that up! What's that blue thing?"...lol! You're leaving things behind that I wanted!
So happy Nelson made some cameos. The Muud commercial was brilliant. The sound from walking on the Estuary was fabulous! You now have a pirate ring, Cap't Si.
Arrgh!, lol and thank you! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
WOW, Oh WOW Si, When I was in one of my ART classes in College, I made a square out of Plaster of Paris and Colored Pieces of Glass that reminded me of your Sea Glass and Resin Window Pane Art. I made a Sailboat image with the colored glass. For years my Nephew had it sitting on his Bedroom Window Sill. The Morning Sunlight always made my Window Art Look Beautiful. Thank You for that Good Memory. And Your MUUD Commercial made me Smile. California Loves You 🐒🎶🧜♀️BellaDonna
Thank you Donna!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Love the butterfly ' window'
❤❤
Thanks Anna! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
You are the coolest dude. As an American, I just adore how you speak. You are funny and kind, and produce quality vids. !!! Thanks for sharing your adventures.. and a chicken to boot !!!!!
I remember going to Timothy Whites in Ilford in 1975 when I was getting ready to go to college, & buying bowls, plates, cutlery & a hen egg storer to take with me. It was a great store & I was sorry to see it go.
A hen egg storer for college? No the first thing you think of when you move out lol
The sea glass window was a triumph Si, really beautiful!
Use a small kitchen blow torch on the resin, it gets rid of all the bubbles 👍👍🏴
Super thanks!! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Also a hair dryer will do the trick.
I love the way the stained glass panel came out
I SEE THE “BOSS” PAID A TABLETOP VISIT! Nelson is a good looking cat. Nice video, Simon. Cheers!! 🐈🇬🇧😉👍🇺🇸
I can’t believe that I had not seen this episode before! Excellent.... Si... excellent.
Ohh that beach is a crafters DREAM. COVID be gone so I can come over and invite myself to be a Larker for a few days!
my favorite thing about your videos is, the fact that you take your finds home and recreate something with them!!
Simon mind blowing......now I got one more way to make something with my old copper and brass coins .....art piece like the window pane ...... you are simply AWESOME / FATAFATI ( Bengali language) ...... You always make my Sunday fruitful.
Stay cool N HAPPY n Healthy and ENJOY

Thanks Sam 'FATAFATI' to you too my good man!
@@Sifinds cool
FATAFATI means awesome
The butterfly window is fabulous.
Can't believe all the sea glass there. You know it is expensive to buy sea glass. LOL Your Muud commercial made me laugh. Good one Si. Neat resin work there. I was thinking of trying to work with resin myself, thanks for the info. Ah, Nelson kitty had to make his appearance, cute.
Thanks Sally! It's wonderful stuff!
Bubbles in resin happen often. You can’t stir fast as it pulls air into the resin and creates bubbles. You want the keep your stir stick touching the bottom of your cup and stir a bit slower and make sure you scrape the sides of the cup too. Use a toothpick to pop bubbles and you can also use a lighter to give it a quick hit with the flame. The heat pops the bubbles 🙂. Keep those creative juices flowing and I’m crazy jealous of your glass!!
Love the stained glass panel! Is there no end to your talents?😂
Thanks Lynne, I'll give anything a go 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Oh Si....I would have gone absolutely NUTZ on that beach! I stopped the video every other second so I could try to spy things that I like. It was a treasure trove for me. Thanks...I'm cooped up in a snow storm, so this was delightful.
Si, Your commercial had me laughing. It's brilliant. Though not as brilliant as the lovely sea glass art . Umm🤔 actually I can't decide which is the best. 🦋🦋
Aw thanks mate. Glad you all ‘got it’. Haha
Another good one . The butterflies were a tremendous success , and I see great potential for tiny delightful objects that might otherwise just hang about unloved , unseen .
Si, been watching a lot of pour tutorials of late! While the resin is just been poured a hot air gun is played over the surface of the resin. This makes the air bubbles come out!🤗🌈
Brill thanks
Amazingg how nature finds a way to turn trash into treasure.
The butterfly pane turned out really nice! You should share the resin technique with Nicola, it would be perfect for her Thames fish creations.
Thanks Robert - will do 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Coaster with the pins and little man is very artistic design . The window pain is very nice .
Seaglass and Bottle Central, you are one lucky bunny 🐇 “Gold rings and things” lol 😂 🤣😂
Thanks Fee 😊👍🏻👣🧡
I maybe 440 odd miles away from the area I think that lovely beach is, but I will find it and I will mudlark it 😎 one day ☺️
Every "failure" is a learning experience. I can't tell you how many jewelry pieces I've deconstructed because I considered them failures but learned with each screw up.
Your butterfly masterpiece is off the chart. Congratulations.
Thanks Sheryl!
😊 Most wonderful creations. 🦋 Inspiring, being that I’ve collected glass over some years and it just sits in a large stemmed bowl.
I would never leave that beach you were on. So many things to pick up. Love the butterfly stain glass. 🇺🇸👍
I remember Timothy Whites stores from way back ,that brings back memories Si..
love how quiet and peaceful it looks
Nelson 🐈⬛ he’s the best of Sunday’s with Si. Well.... um the butterflies is an awesome art project! Good job Si.
Oh Nelson rocks for sure!!
Id be in my glory surrounded by all those bottles!
The butterflies turned out wonderful!! Love it!
Thank you! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
If you want to get the bubbles out of your cast resin use a small hand held butane blow torch. On a low flame pass torch across top of fresh poured resin, the heat draws the bubbles out to the surface and they pop. You can also use a pin to pop any larger bubbles. I use this technique on resin jewelry all the time, works like a charm. If you dont have a torch use a long handled lighter, not as effective but will work.
The cat says, "Pet me, hooman!"
Haha, you speak cat!
You have been owned Si!
How much did i love this? let me count the ways...
...the creativity in action, the humour -" while shops last " , Nelson the boss eyed cat, the stained glass window pane, I could go on ...
Thank you so much!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
To get rid of bubbles you need a Pressure Pot Paint Tank. (I've been watching lots of wood turning videos in which they add resin to fill in the gaps in the wood before turning). To prevent the items from floating in your resin after you pour it, you may need to glue the items down before the resin pour.
Many thanks dude! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
No need. Just apply heat with a heat gun or if the mold is thin use a lighter (just the heat).
Pressure pot is nice for big objects, but not practical for most hobbiests. Applying heat with a butane torch works fine, just dont get too close to the resin or your container or you might scorch it. You can also buy small devices that blow hot air without the flame but I can't remember what they're called. Check your resin periodically for bubbles for the first several hours and you should be set.
@@kelleyscholfield9503 It's called a "heat gun" but a hair dryer on Low setting works just as well.
I liked that embossed piece of pottery. That’s an old padlock. The coasters are really nice. I think the bullet would have made a nice keychain. Nelson is a handsome fellow. My favorite piece, though, is the ‘field’ . That came out very pretty. Go collect more sea glass and do more.😁👍
I was born in 1961 and I don't recall a Timothy Whites shop, but I do remember tbat the odd product bought in Boots had a Timothy Whites branding.
That sea glass window is phenomenal. What an innovative way to show case all of that sea glass, rather than just chucking it into a bowl. Well done, Si! Stay safe and well, and Happy Christmas!
Thanks!!
I loved watching your mind work. Have you tried gently torching ty he resin pieces to help pop the bubbles? A hair dryer can work, also.
That's next to try, I did warm the panel resin up before using it 😊👍🏻👣🧡
A cigarette lighter works well also to pop bubbles. Resin is addictive watch out😀
Nicola will be proud of your sea glass panel. I like it too!
This was a fun adventure in upcycling. I can't wait to see what you make next!
Thanks Lisa! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
I loved watching this video, and especially your creations
Oh, Simonious, you have a winner combining the resin and sea glass into stained glass. The choice to loose the flower and go with butterflies was brilliant. I liked the thin piece with the wavy apperance... one of those happy mistakes that works. Now, you have a use for all those colorful broken bottles.
LOL. I LOVED THE COMMERCIAL.
Thanks so much. Spot on comment as usual! Appreciate it. #muud 😉
Imagine the fishes Nicola could make with all that sea glass, unreal! Love your videos Si, thank you for taking us along. Love your artwork, very talented! Hi kitty! :)
Muud commercial cracked me up! That was brilliant! 💗
Awesome Si. Loved how the Resin Crafts turned out.
Thanks Ad! Hope you're well dude! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
@@Sifinds I’m doing good thanks , How about you?
All that Sea Glass would make a Wonderful Table Top!!!
Nicola could be kept busy for years making glass fish from the glass at this location!!!!!
Oh she knows 😉
That butterfly sea glass was absolutely stunning.
Thanks Pam!
"Peter Pan Sauce" ... fountain of youth in a bottle
I thought “He’d better grab that!” just for its awesomeness. 👍🏻
Peter Pan Sauce, the prequel to MuuD for Men!!
Love the sea-glass stained-glass! Now you just need more colour variants....
Si you dont need luck you have an artist eyes and a great imagination
Aw thanks! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
All of that sea glass! I love how the butterfly piece turned out. I would like to buy one
Always Great Time Love Mud Lover's makes my Day 😁😁😁😁😁
Thanks Mary! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Love how you're not afraid to try stuff. Beautiful pcs. The uniqueness makes it real. Thx Si
I was a Saturday Girl at Timothy Whites in Shrewsbury in the early seventies.
No way!!
Si-finds Thames Mudlark Yes way!
I really like your stained glass butterflies hanging from the tree.
That's where all the sea glass is then... Years ago it was on every beach... Now you got to hunt for it... Ps all I want for Xmas is a mug with your mug on it si 😊☺️
Haha, feel free to take a screen grab from any of my video and print one 😉 Send me a pic if you do!
About time Si had his own Toby jug in production 😝🍻
Sea glass 💕 Your sun catcher is a wonderful way to give them new life!
Thank you so much! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
@@Sifinds You're welcome! Might I suggest considering their wind chime potential - strung sequentially on fishing lines to clink against each other or used as clangors against metal tubes? Knowing your talents, you could even make a chandelier!
I used to have a Saturday job in Timothy Whites when I was 14. Customer's were afraid to come into the shop because the manager "Doris" was just a little too eccentric. I was terrified of her. 😊
Haha brilliant! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
@Sally Muhl If you would/can, please give us an example of the Manager's eccentric ways.... It is too good of a story not to know the meaty bits🙂!
@@dudley8671 Doris was in her late 50s, but dressed as though she was in her 20s. Every time a male customer came into the shop she would turn to me and say, "you will have to serve this gentleman because he is deeply attracted to me, and it wouldn't be professional". She said this about every man that came in. Doris always wore a kind of half wig, that just covered the back of her head, the wig was jet black, but her own hair at the front was dyed a deep red which looked very strange in comparison with the black. Her husband used to come and pick her up at 5 o'clock when the shop closed, and he always wore a hair piece. He used to wear it off to one side at a jaunty angle, a bit like a beret. Sometimes Doris would shout at her husband, and also at me for no particular reason, and also at customer's if she was that way out. As I said before, she terrified the 14 year old me. 😊
@@sallymuhl846 Sally it sounds like the 14 year old you were rightfully terrified. Doris wasn't the ideal role model. If her allure to every man wasn't enough, her & her husband's hair pieces would have been! I love the idea of his worn in the style of a beret. Excellent... thank you!
Who else thinks that Si Finds and Tideline Arts Nicola should have a television show? PBS perhaps??? I know I would definitely watch. ❤️🍺
👍🏻🐾🧡
Well done !!! That will sell my friend, I would buy a few pieces
Hi Dawn, awesome, might take a while but stay tuned!
Yes, l look forward to seeing some sea glass panels for sale on Etsy!
I love the Sea Glass window so beautiful
🤗🌺🥰🌸❤️💔
Enjoyed that crafts ideas mate another good Sunday videos with a couple of beers 🍻🍻
Top Man! I bought a bunch from Beer52 last week, if your in the UK I'll send you a link to get 8 beers for £5.99!
The sound of your boots crunching the sea glass gave me such goosebumps I was afraid I couldn’t keep watching! I soldiered on because I love your mudlarks and the art you create with your treasures. I laughed out loud watching you massaging Muud on your cheek in your clever ad. You’re a true renaissance man, Simon!
Haha, thanks Linda! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
I would pour half the resin. Let it set 80% place the coin and pour the other half. This way coin should be in the middle.
So you factor in the sinking - good thinking! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
@@Sifinds It should look like one piece at the end. I saw someone else do it on CZcams I think.
Love the sea glass!! Pour the resin from higher up, it helps get rid of bubbles. Also go over the top with a lighter and it will pop bubbles.
@@Sifinds or you could pour a thinner top coat on the flip side after the first setting is cured. It's called doming. That will also put the coin in the middle. Make sure all the measurements are exact. If not, the resin might not cure completely, might be sticky, or might uncure later.
And use a torch to get rid of the air bubbles. It’s a must with resin.
I like the bubbles! They remind me of the beautiful bottles that you find with bubbles in the glass. Your "practice" artwork is wonderful. The sea glass stained glass is stunning, the butterflies are perfect. I hope you continue making things from your excess finds. Your creativity is topnotch.
Tell us more about Peter Pan Sauce -- if that prevents a person from growing up, I want some!!!!
Love from the old lady in Texas USA may God bless you always and forever
So enjoyed this "session"!! I have been watching for several months and, I hope you won't mind my saying, you have grown into this CZcams thing wonderfully. My best friend, Cheech, and I like to binge watch our favorites ie, Nic, Matt, Nugget, the Dump Regulars, Tom B etc... So, I guess that is why I can see the difference a few years makes. You have hit on two favorites of mine, sea glass and stained glass and didn't you put them together beautifully!!! This video seemed to start with a film noir feeling, feet walking, you walking alone, hand slowly searching over rubble, then it eased in to "the finds". Did you mean to feel that way? Nicely done. I love your Etsy site but shipping to the US is astronomical, even on small items. I think we will put together an order and split the shipping (what are friends for lol?) Thank you for the adventures and your art💗 Please stay safe and well.

Wow, you should have seen my cat's response when Nelson said hello. Ears shot up, eyes opened wide, all from seemingly fast asleep!
Peter Pan Sauce??? That's a bottle to keep!😂
It flew away 😊👍🏻👣🧡

I would go glass crazy! I only wish we here in Michigan had a beach with that much beach glass. 😍
25:14 anyone notice that black panther sneaking through Simon's yard?
HAHA Nellie!
And he’s beautiful!:)
Butterflies worked so much better than flowers. Loved the Muud ad. Hilarious.
So good to see you just mudlarking for the small stuff. Loving the 'Mudd' advert! 😂 The window pane and coaster are beautiful! Great video Si, thank you x
Thanks Amanda! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Really enjoyed this video. The sea glass window pane is outstanding. What a great idea. The coasters are very nice. Don't forget that the word FAIL is actually an acronym for: First Attempt In Learning. The bullet looks like it was fired into the resin and it stuck. Very happy to see Nelson make an appearance.
🐈⬛ thanks Kev!
Hay mudlover I really enjoyed this video beautiful see grass hope u well take care mudlover 👣💯
Thanks Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

I remember Timothy Whites in Taunton, Somerset when I was a child in the 70's It sold very nice household items as I remeber.
This video should come with a warning... The ASMR is off the scale! Gentle stroking seaglass with your finger tips, rubbing mud onto your beautiful face... I think I'm about to pass out and I'm only half way through! 💗
Haha cold shower time Beth! lol 😊👍🏻👣🧡
@@Sifinds Yes, cold shower is a good idea... but first I'm going to watch the whole thing again because in all honesty, I was in such a daze, I didn't listen to a word you said.
Look into cutting and polishing the resin. The bullet could come out amazing.🎄
70's and Mama did a crab she found on the beach with beach sand and some shells in resin, just in a small pie tin, flipped it, and crab on the top and beach sand on the bottom. It was cool. Shared with my Geordie Bro In Law. ;) Thanks for having a sense of humor.
I am not 100% sure but a heat gun may eliminate air bubbles.
Stir the resin and hardener very slowly. Stirring fast creates the bubbles. The heat gun idea is also good. Just use the gun while the resin is still liquid. When encapsulating something you need to let the base layer harden before putting the item to be encapsulated in and poring in the top layer.
Really liked the window panel. You have a good eye for composition.
The heat gun may make the resin bond to the mold and be in removable.
Warm the resin by sitting it in hot water for a few minutes. Mix slowly until all the milky strands are gone. Pour in thin layers. Spray rubbing alcohol on top to help get rid of the bubbles. Resin likes warm temps so do it on a sunny hot day outside or in a warm place. I love working with resin.
Thanks! Yes seems the consensus
Si, stunning stain glass butterflies...omg...beautiful!!
So many paste jars ... I love them XD
Nice Si. Really cool, you need a burner/torch, add heat to it and the bubbles will go away
Your Mudd commercial was historical! I have tons of sea glass and have always wanted to work with resin.
I remember going to Timothy Whites as a little girl in the early 60's.Love your 'crafty' makes, so enjoyable to watch. The sea glass piece is lovely. Thanks Si.
Thanks Viv!
Loved the stained glass panel, your imagination knows no bounds. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Margaret! 👍🏻🧡
The sea glass is very pretty with the blue butterflies.
Stick with the sea glass windows. I think you got yourself a wee market there Si, it's creative and stunning. I love it!!
The butterfly "stained glass" is very cool. The ladies are loving the muud commercial, nice touch!
Haha. Cheers Del 👍🏻🐾🧡
Hi Si, loving the video as always. Me & my little girl love collecting sea glass & we've played with resin too, but never considered combining the 2. Love the result, will definitely have to 'borrow' that idea next year :)
Setting old pennies in resin is a legal no-no unless you have a licence from HM Treasury. Although they are not currently in circulation, Section 10 of the Coinage Act 1971 states that you can't break up or deface any coinage that was demonetised after 16th May 1969 & decimalisation wasn't until 15th February 1971. The ONLY coin that can legally be 'defaced' without a licence is a farthing. HM Treasury class any drilling, stamping or setting of a coin that can't be undone without using tools as "defacing". Licences are pretty easy to obtain if you email HM Treasury & it's free, which is better than risking up to 2 years imprisonment & a £400 fine.
Love the coaster with buttons and etc. Also like the bubble effect.
Early morning on a Saturday in Chicago...I laughed out loud about the Muud for Men commercial 🤣
Scared and woke up the house!
Brilliant!
The butterfly stain glass is fabulous. ☃️❄️🎄🎁🎇🎅🏼🏔️
Thank you!!
