For a high gloss shine you can glaze your model with UV resin
You can gently warm the resin to lower the viscosity if you find it too thick
I cure my UV resin under a 36W nail lamp for 10 minutes
I use A15 tin condensation cure silicone
NEVER use platinum silicon with UV resin or PVC (it deactivates the catalyst)
Be sure to get the silicone into the hole
My friend said he hopes I fall in a deep hole filled with water...
I know he means well :)
I stick the model to a piece of adhesive vinyl and create walls from 3mm foamex
Seal all the joins with hot melt glue
I keep trying different brands of glue...
Maybe I should pick one and stick to it XD
I made several quick casts using polyurethane resin. You can use epoxy but it'll take much longer.
I sanded away a bite mark in one of the models
I added some drips to the main model using Super Sculpey modelling clay
Bake according to instructions and glaze using more UV resin for a high shine
You can now create a 6-up mould from your lollipop models (or more)
My jokes should be written on ice lolly sticks...
Then you can only read them if you suck as much as they do :/
Pour silicone into the mould to cover the models (I did not film that bit :( )
DecorRom 24 Liquid Resin Colorant (Links in description)
All are translucent except pearl white
I mix 8g of resin for each colour and add 2 drops of pigment (except yellow which had 4 - always double up on the yellow)
Roses are red, that much is true...
But violets are purple, not flipping blue!
I will try to make this mould available in my Etsy store, be sure to check out my other wares in the meantime (link in description)
Kill the bubbles!
I assemble the lollipops using plastic sticks from eBay and stick them down using glue dots
My Cricut Explore Air 2 can be used as a plotter to create the backing card
Some great new colours here, especially the amber which is great for those Jurassic projects or amber jewellery
Which is your favourite colour? Let me know in the comments :)
Thanks for watching!
