Hi John, Great video!! I have used Envirotex Lite twice now and I am not getting a clear finish. When I exposed my finished pieces in the sun I can see speckles everywhere, making it cloudy. I have tried putting the two bottles in warm water before mixing, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? Should I try with Easy Cast instead? Thanks! Mar.

@marcanocarrillo Sorry for the late response. That sounds like the tiny air bubbles that come about when the resin is mixed at too cold a temperature. Not sure what the temps are for Envirotex Lite, but I usually wait until the outside temps are over 80°. I have worked with EasyCast at 70° before with no problem though.

I have to ask, where do you get your blank bezel charms and ring? I can't seem to find them in bulk anywhere?

[pixelnoggin]

@Worski Sorry for the late response! Try googling Amate Studios and/or Nunn Design for wholesale on those. They also have lists on their sites, I think, of some retailers.

Great tutorial, but the background music is like Chinese water torture. I almost didn't watch the whole thing because I couldn't take one more note of that... "song." Eeee gads, have mercy on your viewers and lose the music. Thanks!

@enoughalready2012 Sorry about that. I blame Apple for making it available royalty-free.

@pixelnoggin In my metals class, my teacher has people either lightly breathe on it or just touch a flame a cm or so above it to get rid of the air bubbles.  Works really well.

I must be the only one that likes the music.

Wasn't this complicated when I did it. :/

[trekranger]

Very professional video, I was wondering.. a. how did you get the circles so perfect? Did you use a template and then color inside it? and 2, could you use book pages, sheet music, etc..what type of paper did you use?

[spiritusclarus]

I loved the music, I felt I was at Disneyland the whole time..
