- Hi everyone! Watch in HD :)
In this video I talk you through how I glaze my polymer clay charms using UV resin! A lot of you have noticed how shiny my charms have become in some of my other videos, so here is the tutorial showing you exactly how I do it. While I do really like polyurethane as a glaze, I trialled UV resin about a year ago and love it so much that I haven't looked back. The shine, strength and protection it gives to my charms makes them look and feel so much more high quality, which is why I now use it. I really hope you enjoy this video and gain something from it!
Things I cover in this tutorial:
- What I use to glaze my charms (UV resin)
- Materials you will need to glaze and cure
- UV light options
- Steps of glazing (charms and figurines)
- Cleaning your materials
- Benefits of using UV resin over other glazes

This might be obvious to some, but it wouldn't be to me if I hadn't looked it up:
Glass blocks out UVB rays, but not UVA. Meaning that, depending on your UV resin, hardening behind a window won't be as fast as right outside in the sun.
But it's also not save to place whatever holds your resin (like her silicon mold) close to a window while glazing, since it might cure partially.
So the best thing would be to go for a place as far away from a window as possible while glazing and then go outside for full on sunshine when curing.
My mom ordered UV resin off online for my Christmas present and I didn't know how to use it to glaze or use it for any projects, but now that I've watched this video I gave it a try and the results were fantastic! Thanks for the tips, it was super helpful.
Thank you for being so generous with your experience and techniques. It is refreshing to see someone who is confident enough in themselves to share and be open about what they do. It allows others to join in the fun and share the joy of creativity! Thank you! :D
I can’t thank you enough for this incredibly perfect tutorial. It explains every single detail I ever had a question about. You are unbelievably talented and so kind to share your methods with us!
the timing for this was perfect! I'm doing large scale sculpting these days and I was looking for something to use for water droplets on skin, but I couldn't think of anything that would hold its shape long enough to cure. Thanks for this!
oh my god rachy your are a legend! i dont think you understand how long ive been waiting for a video like this with the resin from miniature sweet!!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! It's the first I've seen that actually goes over cleaning up the brush afterwards which is something I've been struggling to find how to do.
Really great info Rachy, I think it's wonderful that you are so willing to help others, especially beginners like me.
This video is a life saver, I've had trouble finding a nice and clear video about uv resin for charms so ty 🙏 planning to buy some soon so I'm excited to try it out
thank you!! ive been using the sculpey glaze but i’ve been seeing that UV makes them look even more professional and this tutorial totally helped
Thank you for this super detailed video!!! Very helpful, Rach!❤️
This tutorial is perfect, so complete and beautiful to watch, well explained...thank you very much!
Fancylooks, you sound like me. That's something I'll totally say.
Thank you for all your amazing videos Rachel!! As I venture back into Polymer Clay cabochons after a decade, I'm finding your tutorials very helpful and inspirational!!
This may have been mentioned in comments, but I have had experience using UV resin for years and always use 99% Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to wipe down surface after curing under UV light, and also use the alcohol to clean up the brush. I use cuticle oil to dap a bit onto the brush after washing to condition it and it makes the brush last so much longer.
Thank you so much for this video! I just ordered UV resin on ebay, I'm not familiar with glazing polymer clay charms because I like to collect all the information I need before I start something, I was gonna buy polyurethane, but after watching your video I'm convinced that UV resin is more convenient.
I'm so excited to start making polymer clay charms!! I ordered almost everything I need online.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your cute charms along with your charming accent! Great tutorial, I learned a lot! ❤️
I've been using UV resin for a while now and switched to the poly glaze to try and save time... I think they both take time and there really isn't a way around that... However - if I dip in the poly glaze and then use the UV (like you did on the dark piece) then the UV levels out better and you can get away with the 1 coat... Loved this - thank you so much.
Love your videos, you give info and explain why without chit chat. Learned a ton, and I watched many polymer craft videos. Thanks
Thank you for making this video, I’ve been wanting to try UV resins and I found this video very helpful.
you're my favorite youtuber i was just telling my boyfriend this- i've been watching your videos non stop the last couple of days. they are filled with SO much value and im so so so thankful for it, THANK YOUU!! c:
Your tutorials are all clear and informative! Thanks! Yours charms are sooo cute.
I did not know about the darker clays and how resin doesn't work directly with them!! I will keep that in mind for my charms! I've also noticed when cleaning my brush, if i swirl it around in a small cup filled with isopropyl alcohol, it cleans it much quicker and works really well. I'm able to wash it with soap and water after it is rinsed.
This is great! Thank you!! I've been very interested in UV resin and will have to try this :)
I just started sculpting on polymer clay. This video is very helpful. Thank you.
I'm at the beginning of learning about polymer clay and everything that has to do with it, Thank you so much for all of the information!!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! I find this channel very useful and I always learn something and get inspired. Thank you again Rachel😊
Iris Solana thank you so much!
To use 2 part epoxy resin to glaze charms, I'd personally recommend using quick-curing resin if UV resin isn't available. When you use the resins with long drying times, I've found the resin often drips off the clay and there are unglazed patches in the finished product. :3 Also waiting until the resin starts to set up and becomes a tiny bit thicker also helps. I haven't had the chance to use UV resin yet, but I hope to test it out some time. :3
I've never clicked so fast!!! Thank you so much I know I've been requesting this
Hana No Kamisama thank you so much for watching!
I'm just getting into making little clay pieces and have tried using UV resin but theres definitely a learning curve for me 😅
I appreciate you posting this!! I think my pieces will definitely start coming out a little better now
Thank you so much for making this video. All the other UV resin videos I found were about using it on flat surfaces and didn't cover 3D pieces.
Thank you so much for posting this!! I just ordered UV resin for my clay projects and I was so worried about ruining my paintbrushes when glazing.
Thank you so much!!!! This has been the most helpful video about this niche subject!! Thank you!!! You are amazing and a genius!!!! 💜💜💜
you're sooo very detail and your video is straight forward and very easy to understand, very informative....i don't know what else to say... have i told u that i love u yet? XD
Thanks so much for this tutorial. You explain things so clearly.
Love this, I was just asking myself this question yesterday and this video popped up. 😂 these are beautiful works of art.
You’re amazing! The way you describe things in such detail and give really handy tips along the way is super helpful!
Thank you for this excellent tip! I only wish this video had been up last week when I made my first own molds. Now I'll try to see if it works equally well on resin, as my resinpieces came out with brushstrokes where I tried to make the clay master smooth with glaze...
Great Tutorial!!! And your charms are darling!!!
Yes!!! I've been waiting for this video for so long!! XD Thanks Rachy
I'm thinking of starting my own small business and I'm happy that i found your video it's super helpful thank you so much
Such a creative soul and gifted teacher
Second time I go back and watch this video, thank you ❤️
Thank you so much!! Your videos want me to make charms! I have started using this glaze and it helped! 😊
Super detailed video and very helpful, Rachy :)
You deserve SO MUCH MORE likes and subs ❤️
I absolutely love your charms!
Thanks so much for all these great tips! :D
for anyone who got an elves box this month, i tend to find using sophie and toffee sealer works really well on glazing over a cheap resin
I enjoyed watching your video! Fun and educational.
Great helpful tutorial very well explained!!! Thank you for Sharing!!! Liz x
Lots of great tips. Many thanks for the video
Amazing video🌟 Also I loved your accent 💙
I love your videos!!! Soooo helpful !
Amazing tutorial! Thank you 🍀
Very detailed tutorial, thank you.
Ou this video saved me money. I started with resin art so i already have the materials and i wanted to try my sculpting skills as i am really getting into miniatures!
I love your videos they help me so much I am new to polymer clay
I really enjoyed this tutorial and I am feeling much more inclined to try this than I was! I did notice that at least one of your bottles said "non toxic" on the bottom, but friends who do a lot of crafting have warned me that using resin which needs curing is usually very toxic! There have been recent tests which show that most of them are much, much more toxic than previously thought!! I wonder if you, or anyone else reading this, knows more about that aspect of using resin?
just be sure to wear a respirator and gloves
Thank you sooo muchhh. I really need this video ❤
Thank you so much for the video, is really helpful 💖
Thanks for the tutorial! I've never heard of UV resin before!
Same! Until I started watching Creative Rachy's videos and I learned a lot about polymer clay tips!
Such a great video. Thank you for sharing. :)
This.Is.Perfect.
Thank you SO much!
Fantastic tutorial!
Thank you for the tips and tricks especially the brush cleaning because I would use water
Two years late but that tidbit about how faint fingerprint can get covered is a lifesaver! I've been stressed out alternating between starch and alcohol 😂
Thank you. Lots of questions answered.
learnt a lot, thank you for the video

AUSTRALIA!!!!!! LOVE IT💖
What type of polyurethane do you use to prevent the bubbles? :) Excellent and detailed tutorial. Love all your tips!
Great tips
How do you keep the UV resin from sliding off the charm while glazing? I did it with no polyurethane under it and I didn’t it with polyurethane under it but there was no difference. HELP ME PLEASE I DUNNO WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOO
Hi Rachel, can you please make a video all about resin and how to use it?
Hello, Hentai-ink. I have a question about UV resin : i use UV resin (by miniature sweet) but the resin it's still sticky. How can i fix this ? Thanks =)
1) Extend curing time in the lamp/sunlight 2)viability of product: check expiration of resin/storage temps
Fimophélie some brands stink, so they don’t cure fully and stay sticky. It sometimes depends on the brand
Thank you! Do you know if crafting varnisch is also good for glazing? As I'm not english, I'm just being sure!
And when working with pastels, is there a way to make sure the pastelpowder doesn't move when applying glaze?
omg thank you so much for the video! I've been having issues with my glazing which gets sticky only with humidity. I've been doing so many research and now I've found a solution!
how long do you leave it dry for when using the UV lamp?I'm also leaving in Australia Sydney.
Thank you for this helpful video. I use the UV resin blue and yellow flower same brand in your video but why my pieces turned out yellow? I noticed because I tried UV resin on my white pieces. Thank you
This video is super helpful thank you ☺️💕💕 I have a couple questions if anyone could help, I’m guessing you should try and avoid getting the resin on your skin? But what’s the best way to do that when you’re checking if the charm is fully dry? I’m looking to glaze flat pieces so any information would help ☺️
My questions have finally been answered
InkyWitchu I'm glad I could help!
Do you recommend getting the thick set kind or thin set? I’m new to resin and not sure which is best to cover charms. Thanks!
Hi Rachel, I'm using UV/LED lamp for my nails. May I use it for this as well and how the UV resin will behave on acrylic paint?
Thank you very much . A big God bless
How on earth can you make so many of the same charm without getting bored 😳
Because art is about enjoying the process and not only the result
The money doesn't hurt
Make one then make a mold lol 😆
$$ she makes $ coz people wants to buy it
@@nippirom
this isn't art. it's just production. the initial design is art
@CreativeRachy Holla Rachy! Question: Can I use it on air dry clay for sealant? I'm making it for garden sculpture.
Cute work ! can you tell me what kind of resin and lamp you used ? thank you
