Hi I'm Wendy a resin artist and crafter.
In this video I am using 2 moulds both purchased from Alyy Express on the same day and although I thought they were the same they are very different. I show you the difference and use them in the same way to show the outcome.
If you have any comments or just want to ask questions please use the comment section below and I will get back to you.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching

Before I saw this I would always had said I would only use shiny moulds, now I can totally see the appeal of a matte one. The side by side comparison is great! Weirdly enough, I did a sculpt with polymer clay and made a mould earlier this year and I loved the cast, but then I forgot it until now.
It’s definitely something to think of in the future Suzzie 😀😀 I was the same as you until now 😂😂
Go find your mould and have fun 😀❤️👍
Oh and cream eggs are in stock so I will message soon 😀❤️👍
@@Toonpish 😍
The matte tinsel dragon looks as if he's fallen asleep and the frost has settled on him. You've got to call him Jack! 😂 They are all beautiful 😍👏❤️☺️
Thank you so much Mole and that is a great name for a frost dragon 😀❤️👍
The matte mold for the dragon is fantastic, you can see all the details. The purple is beautiful as it's my favorite color 💜. Thanks for sharing Wendy.

I’m a complete newbie to epoxy resin, thought it would be a fun arty little hobby. Your vids are very useful and giving me some really good ideas.
Are you hooked yet? 😂😂 I was hooked from my very first piece 💜💜💜👍
I’m brand new to resin - such an inspiration thanks
I’m so glad you got something out of this 😀😀😀 thanks so much 😀😀❤️
@toonpish I absolutely loved watching this video.❤
Thank you so much 😀😀👍💜
Totally agree with you the matt one seems to show the detail better and the shiny mould seemed to overpower the glitter I love that mould too
It’s a gorgeous mould Colin 😀😀😀 thanks hun ❤️🤗
Love your hair, your voice, your tips….. get it girl!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!😀😀😀😀
Sounds like you like my channel too 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much 💜👍
Wow the matte is cool! Nicely done Wendy! 😃
Wee Val

I like both the moulds and think each ahs its own place depending what effect you want the end result to have.
Take care Hun.
Cheers, Huw
Thank you Huw 😀😀❤️👍 happy crafting, turning and just being 😀❤️
Fabulous video Wendy as always actually do like matte mold better and the tinsel one is stunning 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you Mary 😀😀👍❤️
I like mat molds for certain applications. They have an icey look that looks cool for some
things. Love the dragons!😍
You are not wrong Peggy and I have definitely seen the light 😂😂
❤️❤️👍
Matte molds with glitter in the resin comes out beautiful too.
That sounds gorgeous too 😀😀😀thanks Cerulean 😀❤️
So pretty. So so pretty!!
Thank you so much Kris 👍❤️
I got my hands on matt heart mold i didnt know the difference at the time until i did the unmolding. But i just put some resin on it and it worked perfectly thank you for the video
Glad it helped 😀💜👍
I love both of them all. Dragons and wolves are my sole mates.
Oh I love that. 😀😀😀 thanks Wolfgirl ❤️👍
I liked both, but the matte was especially nice. Good work Wendy.
Thank you so much indeed 😀😀
Very cool
Thank you Mari 😀😀❤️👍
hello. o loved the mat dragon 🙂
Thank you Jackie 😀😀👍❤️
Matte looks awesome on the dragons. I like them both ways, but the matte is so good for these guys 🦖🦖🦖
Thank you so much Georgia 😀😀🥰
I have always thought I would want a shiny mold but after seeing the comparisons I think they both are pretty especially the purple ones.
It’s an eye opener for sure 😀😀💜
Love the mat dragon, too! It leaves you the choice to give some shiny accents if you want to. The eyes or the tip of the back rim etc.
Oh that’s a fantastic tip for people 😀😀😀 thank you Diana 😀❤️👍
Those dragons are adorable Wendy
Thank you so much 😀❤️👍
I agree with you on the matte mould Wendy, it does give you so much more scope to add sparkle or shine if you want to.
Your dragons are lovely, I may have to pay Ali express a visit 😉 💕
I love both the moulds and I’m glad I have both types 😀😀❤️👍
Bumped into this video, I just bought a quality brand pressure pot, kinda new to this stuff, I want to get into it as a hobby only. Love your video on the how too.
Glad you enjoyed it 😀💜 hope it helped 💜
Wow the Dragons are Beautiful 🩷
Thank you 😀👍❤️
omg the matte mold would look sooo cool with some iridescent cello in it! 🤩🤩
lmaoo I obvs commented before the second half of the video XD Great minds
😂😂😂 definitely thinking the same 😀❤️ thanks Nicci ❤️👍
Hi Wendy, I have both mat and shiny molds. In this episode I preferred the mat pieces. Hope all is well with you and yours. Happy Christmas.
They are gorgeous moulds Forrest 😀😀😀 thanks for watching 👍❤️
I LIKE THEM VERY MUCH FROM ALI EXPRESS YOU SAY , I HAVE BEEN THINKING TO ORDER SOME ITEMS FROM THEM . AND I WAS NOT SURE IF I SHOULD BUT YOU SAY YOUR HAPPY WITH THEM SO I WILL TRY THEM TOO . I GET ALOT OF EMAILS FROM THEM DAILY SO THE TIME IS RIGHT TO TRY OUT THEIR SERVICE AND PRODUCTS . IT CAME OUT GREAT BOTH OF THEM . I DID LIKE THE MAT AND THE SHINY ONE TOO . THEREFORE EQUALLY GOOD ON BOTH , SO THANKYOU FOR SHARING THIS EXPERIMENT WITH US . IM HAPPY WITH WHAT I SEEN YOU DO WITH BOTH , TY WENDY !!!!!!!!!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it and it’s helpful 😀😀
Really appreciate you watching and commenting 👍❤️
They're really cute.
Thank you 😀💜👍
Can’t believe you’ve changed my mind on Matt moulds. I love the two mat ones but can’t decide which of the I prefer
Matt is definitely now in my heart too 😂😂 thank you Lyn ❤️👍
I love them both!! I think for dragons, a matte finish is so natural, and depending on what sealant you use, you have so many options!
I totally agree 😀😀❤️👍
I am like you, I love the Matt mould, the tinsel looks great, thr purple ones are nice too my favourite it the Matt tinsel dragon. I am going to have to have a look at Ali express I have heard good things about it x
I prefer it over others of similar ilk. Thanks so much Nannie 😀❤️👍
LOVE THE DRAGONS 😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you Madeleine 😀😀❤️👍
Beautiful ❤️ I would normally go for shinny. With the dragon I do prefer the matte, especially with the tinsel
Just as I was thinking 😀😀 thanks Connie 👍❤️
Love your ideas
7:30
Thank you 👍💜
For this mold I like the mat mold best.
Me too Janet 😀😀
Thank you 😊
WooooW! 😍😍😍
Thanks Gulma 😀😀😀❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow wow and more wow. Wendy that was a happy dance moment. Prefer is 100% Matt It really does show the detailing. It's not a clear boundary mind you. Some creations do need to have that glow. But this it's better this way. Yep I love dragons, always have. As for the little guy he is rather cute. I don't usually go Ali-express or Wish as blimey the wait is a killer. So if I can get it from the UK then I do. Another great video thanks for my dragon fix. lol
Glad you enjoyed it Pammi 😀😀😀 I’m so glad you like dragons as much as I do 😀😀❤️👍
@@Toonpish yep we are joined by dragons. 🤣😋 X
Beautiful as usual. I agree, I prefer the matte. When I trim my over pour I use a cuticle trimmer and in the hard to reach places I use a sharp blade like you do.
Thank you for that 😀😀 we all use what works for us 😀😀
Maybe I should do a basics video and show lots of options to do things 🤔🤔🤔
Ohh that’s an idea 😀
Thanks 😀❤️
@@Toonpish oh that would be fun!
I love love the matte mold...I bet painting the mold with mica powder would give it some depth...but I have to say even with just the purple it looks amazing...I think Im going to have to get that mold now😉..thanks for the vid 💜
I usually do paint the moulds with mica but decided to go down the easier route and see what happens and love them 😀😀😀
Thank you so much Wendy 😀😀❤️👍
My favorite is the purple matte dragon, to my surprise.
Exactly 😀😀 how cute is matt 😳😀
Thanks Judy ❤️❤️👍
@@Toonpish 😂😂
🥰 love is ….matte!
Thanks Sarah 😀❤️👍
I have this mold on my Amazon wish list. I have the dragon cat one that I love! It’s a matte one.
Oh I’m sure you will love it 😀😀 thanks so much Stacy 😀❤️👍
I love the matt mold better the matt with the tinsel looks a bit like opal 😍 if you use your shiny molds often enough the will get matt especially the cheap molds from ali express
Or you can very lightly sand shiny pieces 😀😀😀 thanks Natasja 👍❤️
I am split between the two. Like them both equally. I especially like the ones with the tinsel in them. When I use a file, I like to cover it with a thin layer of nail polish, it gets rid of the white left behind by sanding. Just a thought.
Thank you for that tip Genette 😀😀 I have tried the nail polish way but not very keen as I’m too messy with it 🫣😣😳
Others might really appreciate your tip though 😀😀 thank you 😀❤️👍
I like the mat mold for the dragon.
It definitely has something 😀😀💜
You are very welcome 😀💜
I really like the matte. I was surprised at that.
Well yes 😀😀 I can see why 😂😂 I would always choose shiny normally 🤭🤭 but it is beautiful 😻
Love your channel so very much! I'm a mega DRAGON LOVER 💞 I make dragon orgonite with resin, crystals, and different metals 😍 I just found a DRAGON SKULL!!! I'm so excited to use it lol I wonder what a glow in the dark color would look like on the Matte mold??? A video idea maybe??? 😊
That’s a massive amount of glow in the dark mica 😳
But it would look so cool 😎
Thanks Charlie 😀😀
Dragons are the best 😀😀😀❤️❤️
Sounds like your dragons are epic 👍❤️
i personnally love the shiny molds over the matte...but i do have a few matte molds that i brush with chameleon powder and fill with black and that is awesome
Yes I agree with that totally 😀😀💜👍
These are all so Beautiful and turned out so Great. The colors worked well with the matte and the shine, and then the tinsel just set them both off so well. And yes you have to be careful when cutting off the over spill on your projects. Unfortunately my husband has gotten cut a few times and we have exec-to knife .
Get a deburring tool off of Amazon. It's made to do that without cutting yourself & only runs about $10-12.
I wouldn’t feel comfortable if I didn’t mention the risks. Thanks so much for watching and commenting 😀😀I really appreciate it.
Happy crafting 👍❤️
I must try that out myself 😂😂
Such a cute dragon I totally see what you mean the matt dragons have a whole other level of detail and I do love them but the purple shiny dragon is my favourite, loved that tinsel it was just gawjuss and so irredescent you could use that incso many different molds and it would look amazing!
It definitely would Paula 😀😀😀 you know we are purple people ❤️
@Toonpish we certainly are hun, purple to the core xxxxx
How lovely are these, for the dragons i prefer the matt one because in my head, reptiles are not generally shiney.
You are not wrong Kim 😀😀❤️👍
I do like the matte mold, which surprises me too. When I first started playing with resin I bought a matte mold. It was a small donut shape that I wanted to do a petri in for pendants. I did eventually find a shiny donut mold but, it’s black so, it’s impossible to see where you’ve dropped what colors and where.😅I didn’t know enough about molds then to even realize I’d bought a baking mold, some baking molds are shiny but, a lot aren’t. Since then I’ve always been careful to look at the pictures and wouldn’t buy it if it was matte. My hubby and I also had a very unfortunate experience with matte paint many years ago. So.. there’s that!😂 Very interesting video! Thanks Wendy.❤
Yeah I’ve had moulds that I wanted to be shiny and were matt 😳
But this time I’m happy I had both 😀😀
It definitely helps to see both sides of the coin 😂😂
Thank you Funo 😀😀👍❤️❤️
I was not aware there were two kinds of molds, interesting. I think if I was coloring with mica's, I would prefer matte, but translucent, I'd prefer shiny molds - I think LOL. Thanks for the info - oh, and also, I prefer using a deburring tool for trimming the sharp edges, if I use a nail file, it dulls the finish and I've cut myself one too many times to trust the exacto knife.
Yes I agree with the deburring tool but sometimes you need more than one way and I do use all 3😀😀.
I’m glad this video helped 😀💜👍
Hi Wendy. I'm a very new subscriber to your channel, and I love your work! I love the matte dragons. They look like frosted glass, and I prefer that look. I think it would depend on the look you are going for as to which mold you decide to use, matte or shiny. Thanks for your very informative video!
Hi Pauline and welcome to my little channel 😀😀😀👋👋
I’m really glad you enjoyed this video and found it useful 👍
It really does depend on what you are doing and want from the mould 😀
Thanks so much for your comment. It’s really appreciated 😀❤️
Hi Wendy,I have the same mould and mine turned up matte. I like both of them tbh but out of the 2 the matte seems to give it a better look.I love what you have done with your dragons 🥰🤩
Thank you Lisa 😀😀😀
Yes I do love it but wouldn’t have chosen it 😂😂🤷♀️
They look amazing 😍
Hi Wendy, In this case I am totally in Agreement with you my personal opinion is I to Prefer the matte mold you said you are going to try some pigments I would love to see you use some colour Changing pigments with a black Background Thank you so much for sharing very much appreciated 👍❤️🎄🤗
Thanks Linda I might do that 😀😀😀
Happy crafting hun ❤️❤️
It's always such a pleasure to see uploads from you, Wendy. I'm wondering if you've ever considered using a vacuum chamber for degassing resin? I have one and also a pressure pot. Might be more trouble than its worth, but the results can't be beat. I love both versions of this mold. Happy Christmas to you and yours!
Thanks Pam. I do have a degassing chamber and have used it but it is hassle. So much so it’s now sitting in my garage unused for ages.
I do find with Let’sResin resin you don’t need it. It’s fantastic resin although we can’t get the deep pour resin here sadly. Happy crafting Pam ❤️
Hi Wendy, hope you’re keeping warm. I agree with the matt finish showing more detail & think if you combined your metallic colours with mica accents they would look awesome. Hugs 🦆💕
Or other way round - mica colour shift with metallic head & feet 🤔🦆💕
Yes that would be very cool indeed 😀😀😀 I have a huge dragon mould coming hopefully and I am thinking of all the techniques I could use on it 😂😂😂
I love that mold! I think I really like the matte one too. It kinda of comes out like frosted glass. I love that tinsel, too! It's really amazing! I have an incense burner that looks like your little guy, except he has pins sticking in him like a voodoo doll. It would be cool to have that mold!
I’ll will put it in my Amazon shop 😀😀 if I haven’t already 😳
Thank you Lisa 😀😀❤️👍
@@Toonpish Great! Thank you!
I think both shiny and matte molds are great. It depends what you’re making though. I’m making a set of dragon coasters with chameleon powders and used matte molds for the dragons and even after top coating them with clear, they stand out so well because they aren’t shiny. Exactly like you see here. Don’t toss a mold just because it’s lost its shine ! Just get creative with it. You might be pleasantly surprised.
I don’t throw away anything 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for your comment 😀 happy crafting 😀❤️
@@Toonpish I don't either! 😂 someone asked me "why do you organize your recycle bin?" Lol. That's not recycle that's craft project materials! 😂🤷🏼♀️ why buy a bunch of stuff when most of what you need is "garbage"?! I started out using old eye shadow for mica, packing plastics, all sorts of stuff. I do limit my collection though. It has to fit in a certain area/storage/shelving. If that starts to overflow, things go to the recycle bin. Plus it's fun to think of ways to use things more than once or for different purposes than intended. 😃
Happy crafting to you too, Wendy!
