It is time to start taking your polymer clay skills to the next level by learning how to add beautifully shiny UV Epoxy Resin coatings to your flat charms and pendants! So on Friday, May 21st at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadvideos.com\/back-issues\/\" class=\"external external_icon\" target=\"_blank\">Polymer Clay Library<\/a> (Vol-024-3), the member video tutorial will be all about how to work with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/uv-cure-jewelry-resin-ultradome-product-test-results\/9394\/\">UltraDome UV Epoxy Resin<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I am super excited about this, both the product and the tut. I love the effect of resin covered pieces but had experienced so much frustration from the products I tried on my own that I gave up. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Elizabeth-S<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ah Cindy &#8211; you are amazing. I had been wanting to learn to make faux opals out of polymer clay and I found you just before you did the opal tut. For years I have been wanting to learn how to use resin in jewelry and here you are, coming to my rescue again!! Please count me in as a YES also. I can&#8217;t wait! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Cheryl-V<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I know when Cindy&#8217;s video comes out, it will show me how to use resin in the simplest way&#8230; you know how she <em>&#8220;makes the mistakes, so we don&#8217;t have to.&#8221;<\/em> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Phaedrakat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Can&#8217;t wait to hear your thoughts about this new Ultradome UV Resin product. I really would like something that doesn&#8217;t pull away from the sides. Hope this new stuff is easier to use. I ordered some today. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Bonnie-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I would love to learn more about using epoxy resin. I have seen some of Lisa P. work with magic gloss, a pendant made with black clay and silver foils. It really was magic the sheen and beauty in the pendant. I have never used any kind of resin for any kind of craft so I am eager to learn more. Learning this from you Cindy will mean it is something I will be able to accomplish. So please play away and share with us in that magical way you always do. I for one can&#8217;t wait to see what you bring to us. Love and Uuuuuuuugggggggs.<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Peggy-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Please Note:<\/strong><\/span> A general prerequisite for all of my weekly tutorials is that you have a good understanding of the polymer clay basics, including: conditioning clay, using a pasta machine, clay blade and other simple tools, making Skinner Blends or Teardrop Blends, baking clay, as well as sanding and finishing. If you need help in these areas, my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/crse\/01-more.html\">Polymer Clay Beginners Course<\/a> will get you up to speed quickly. There is also plenty of free information on this blog. Use the search box at the top of the page to find articles on specific topics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>Supplies &amp; Tools: Video-024-3: UV Epoxy Resin:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Flat baked polymer clay item you want to coat with resin (a pendant, cane slice, charm, button, etc.). For best resin doming results, make sure that all of the vertical edges of your piece are crisp, and at a 90 degree angle to the horizontal top face of the item. See this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/uv-cure-jewelry-resin-ultradome-product-test-results\/9394\/#comment-33744\">resin doming diagram<\/a> for a visual illustration. Alternatively, resin can be used to coat over polymer clay that has been placed in a raised edge bezel or other cupped receptacle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">UltraDome UV Epoxy Resin. Please note that many aspects of this tutorial will be applicable to other brands of UV curable resins as well. But for this demonstration I used the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/uv-cure-jewelry-resin-ultradome-product-test-results\/9394\/#comment-33675\">UltraDome<\/a> product.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Dispenser bottle with long nozzle Luer-Loc tips and UV Storage bottle (optional). You can get these when you purchase the Ultradome resin. If you end up getting the UltraDome product branded as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/uv-cure-jewelry-resin-ultradome-product-test-results\/9394\/#comment-33675\">Jewelry Glaze<\/a>, it has a dispenser tip built into the bottle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">BBQ Lighter or mini-torch used for popping bubbles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Long pin or needle tool.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">UV Lamp or good strong direct sunlight for curing resin. A 36 Watt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/uv-cure-jewelry-resin-ultradome-product-test-results\/9394\/#comment-33705\">UV Lamp<\/a> or larger is ideal. But it is also possible to use the smaller, 9 Watt units which are commonly sold for curing finger nail finishes. The cure time is MUCH slower though. For the direct sunlight approach, this must be done outside on a very clear day without any wind blowing the dust around. A sunny windowsill usually won&#8217;t work because most window glass blocks much of the UV spectrum of light. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/uv-cure-jewelry-resin-ultradome-product-test-results\/9394\/#comment-33731\">Tina Holden<\/a> has experimented with curing under a regular piece of glass with success though I would find it frustrating to have not be able to cure in the evening or a cloudy day so I definitely recommend a lamp if you can afford one.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Non-slip shelf liner (optional). I use a small piece of non-slip shelf liner I got at the dollar store to keep my pendant and pieces from sliding around when working with them. Once you watch the video you will see what I mean.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The full version of the Vid-024-3 <em>UV Epoxy Resin <\/em>video will be posted in the Polymer Clay Members Library on Friday May 21, 2010.

I found it great, succinct and very good at showing all the basic &#8220;stuff&#8221;. Money well spent for a &#8216;show me&#8217; learner. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>~Hope-N<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">I&#8217;m really enjoying the videos and the blog, feel like I&#8217;ve signed up for a bit of info and instead have received a wealth of knowledge in return. With the ideas generated by the members (such a supportive bunch); of course everything you&#8217;re offering from basic practical tips to beautiful, current techniques &#8211; I&#8217;m truly inspired and feel so fortunate to have come across your site. My husband has been battling ALS for several years now so unfortunately creative projects have been slowly pushed aside. I find it&#8217;s become difficult to start anything because of the time needed to invest in and complete projects. Our situation now doesn&#8217;t allow a lot of time for that. So, I thought polymer clay, beading and jewelry making might be a good way to create (even if it&#8217;s a little at a time). It&#8217;s been a great outlet so far. Thanks again for the wonderful teaching tool you&#8217;ve created. You share your knowledge in such a professional, yet warm way &#8211; the care you take in what you offer your members is highlighted through your sense of detail and attention given to every inquiry. This has been just what I needed, what a great experience!
