How to Make Bottle Cap Jewelry Using Resin

[foreveraninja88]

Is there another way to get the bubbles out without the torch? I don't own one nor do I want to spend the money on one.

@foreveraninja88 To remove the bubbles, you can also use a bbq lighter - I find this works really well. If the bubbles are really up towards the surface, you can sometimes remove them with your hot breath. A heat gun also works, although this is my least favorite method compared to the others since i feel it does blow the resin slightly (although some people swear by it). Good luck!

Do you still need the top glue on the paper if you are using epoxy stickers?

Thanks

[Beadaholique]

@ViEtChYnIzGuH You do not need the top glue if you are using epoxy stickers.

If I use mod podge, can i use the clear acrylic sealer (spray can) or the matte waterbase sealer, glue & finish? Thanks.

[Beadaholique]

@gatafierrra When working with resin, I prefer a painted on sealer vs. a spray sealer. The coverage is heavier which is what you want. You will also need to repeat the sealant several times over. Mod Podge itself will work as the sealant - just make sure to paint on 3 coats ontop of your image.

Can you store resin that has already been mixed? Where? In a cool or warm place? How long can it be stored? Do you need a cap on it to be stored? Like if after 24 hours of drying out the first layer and you wanted to put a second layer of resin on a pendant. Thank you for the video and please answer back :).

[Beadaholique]

@artist639 Unfortunately mixed resin can not be stored in any capacity. The curing process starts as soon as part A and part B are combined and there is no way to halt that process and allow you to store the resin for a later pour. What I like to do is have several projects which need resin and pour them all at once (sometimes this means waiting a bit until I have enough projects ready), that way I do not waste resin.

[Beadaholique]

@Beadaholique Then I mix up a fresh batch for the second layer and again have enough projects ready so as to not waste resin.

Do you have proper ventilation there while using the resin ?

[Beadaholique]

@justtubingby Yes, we always have proper ventilation when we use resin. For us here at Beadaholique, we always do our resin pours right before everyone leaves for the day so the rooms can air out before the next morning when everyone arrives again.

@EverythingDuctTape33 yeah but I usually do that. As long as you pour slowly into the measuring cup you should be fine :)

@EverythingDuctTapep33 yeah but i usually do that. As long as you use

[EverythingDuctTape33]

cute BUT you need to spin slower and pour in different cups because if you put to much in you cant take it out and you should use a bigger cup if you get air bubbles that means you are spinning to fast and you can use a straw or a hair dryer and it works just fine

Hello! Thanks for this video, but I can't find the video in which you show how to remove the liner from the cap. Thanks again

do you have to punch a hole in it? could you use a bail?

[Beadaholique]

@nico27004 You can absolutely use a bail.
