Post-Workshop Notes

 

  • The resin I recommend is Let's Resin UV Resin Clear Hard Type. It is available directly from Let's Resin or on Amazon. On Amazon they have a starter kit that contains a small lamp, resin and a mixing set. Or this larger one with everything you need to make a range of pieces. 

  • The molds are clear silicon molds - not colored ones. They are available from Let's Resin or many other providers, including Temu. (If you haven't used Temu before, it is a lot like amazon but buying direct from the seller so cheaper, but longer shipping time. I use them regularly for craft supplies. Click the link to download the app and then enter acj468657 in the search bar to get 30% off your first purchase. Free shipping and free returns.)

  • The fimo slices are available in a large number of variations. Google "Nail art slices" and you'll be amazed. These will get you started.

  • Searching for "nail art inclusions" will give you an endless number of options for things to embed in the resin such as these. 

  • The dried flowers need to be "pressed" aka flat. These are ones I buy regularly.  

  • The glitter and mica powders are available in endless varieties. This is the pack of glitter I often use as a base. Mica powder is essentially powdered pigment and can be found in big packs such as this. 

Remember - do NOT get UV resin mixed up with Epoxy Resin. Epoxy is very strong smelling, needs precise mixing, and takes a day to set - although it is ultimately stronger and better for large projects. 

Good luck and enjoy your making!
