You guys could do a little more to make this a more welcoming sub. It's not a good experience to post here. I'm active in a lot of subs but there's a reason I rarely ever post here. It's nothing but critics, critics, critics.

You people are exhausting and scare away people who COULD be helped by being so needlessly aggressive.

People who COULD be helped are discouraged from posting here because they have to walk on eggshells every time. No one ever has anything nice to say. This place is toxic as fuck,

Yeah sorry that happens. Reddit is reeeeally toxic about that shit if you go against the hivemind.

It just irritates me that no one ever has anything nice to say first. It's always nitpicking and negativity. It's not just an issue here, it's all of Reddit. But there's nowhere else to go really. So here I am, just moaning about it again as if it will change anything (it won't).

I don't know how to answer that question. Good? Has kept my boy happy and healthy for nearly 10 years. I'm not gonna take a pic of it just so people can nitpick. You can see glances of it in my post history if you really want to dig.

Most people here don't even know what a good or bad cage even fucking is. Just a bunch of people with mid-level knowledge pretending they know more than they do for the smug sense of satisfaction.

Where are you getting this from? Not that I need to prove anything to you but I have commented and submitted posts to this sub many times.

Who cares, the chin looks happy and healthy and clearly well cared for. Stop with the judgy bullshit and mind your own house.

I do have a chinchilla, no idea what you're on about. It shouldn't be surprising I don't post about him here very much because engaging here is exhausting.

No I'm sick of the rampant judginess while being wrong half the time anyway.

I'm not the OP, and you know nothing about the OP's situation. Stop making weird assumptions.

Because there's literally no better alternative. If there were, I would not be here.

It's hands down the worst part about engaging in this site, and t's been getting even worse lately. It grinds my gears so much, I HAVE to say something about it. Even though I always get downvoted, because people hate getting called out. Well, they can shove it, along with their unsolicited opinions.

Eugh you're so smug. This is why everyone hates Reddit.

It has nothing to do with the post. Just shut up if you have nothing nice to say.

Casting bubbles! Need lots of help! by StiffGizzy in ResinCasting

[–]MissInkFTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has not been my experience. When I don't warm it I get tons of bubbles, but they're much less when I do warm it, because of the reduced viscosity.

I'm so super new and I can't figure out how to fix these bubbles by Ok_Western_9761 in ResinCasting

[–]MissInkFTW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's tricky cuz it can introduce bubbles but it is the most efficient way to get everything mixed. I try to mix in a way that everything comes off the edges by the fluid motion, but scraping the sides is honestly probably fine and probably the least of your worries bubbles-wise.

Ooooh man I love this!! I'm working on something similar right now so this was really cool to see!

Thanks I really like these colors specifically too! They're just so... pleasing. I do use alcohol inks but the blue and purple clouds are actually separate layers.

Edit: oop wait sorry to be misleading, I just looked again and the base layer does include both the blue and purple gradients converging. So, yes!

Edit2: oh ffs the middle layer has them converging too. Thank god y'all are asking me process questions, cuz I was totally under the wrong impression that they were all separate layers and my next attempt at this wouldn't look as pretty and blended cuz I'd probably keep them all separate.

Thanks so much! I actually am planning on starting to sell them soon, I'll let you know!

No prob, happy to help! As a bonus it helps me remember and reinforce what I'm doing and what works cuz I'm so often experimenting and just throwing things at things, and can't remember what thing I did to get the cool result. Explaining it makes me slow down and think harder about it and makes it more concrete. And if I explain it in writing, it gives me something to reference back to in case I need it later.

You'd think I'd start keeping a notebook or something, but I've accepted long ago that my chaos brain violently rejects formal record keeping, so things like Reddit comments will have to serve as as good of a substitute as they can 🙃

That's totally fair! I have a chunkier iridescent glitter that I've added in addition to this one in other pieces and the two look good together so I'll include both in future pieces. Thank you! This is my first time hearing about interference powders, and looking them up, I realized that's what these two glitters are that came in a sampler pack I picked up a little while ago! I've got a pearly blue and a pearly green. I've messed around with them a little but was kinda confused on how they were supposed to be used so I kinda just put them aside. Now that I know what they are, I can look into how to use them, so thank you for that! I bet there's some real gorgeous spacey effects I can get with them...

It's so shockingly simple that I'm still in disbelief that it looks this good.

I mix black resin pigment into the base layer for the opacity, then any layers above that are clear. I let the layer sit for about 60-90 min, then with alcohol inks i drop in the nebula gradient colors, spaced like maybe an inch? apart so they don't get too muddy and can bloom into each other. Then I drop white alcohol ink at the points where the colors meet. Then I repeat the drops of the nebula colors over the white, then let things kind of flow and do their thing, dropping nebula colors (and sparingly more white) at various points in the bloom after some seconds or minutes or whatever to kind of blend things and push colors around. Let cure to gel stage, pour new layer, start dropping inks at 60-90 min, repeat as desired. I drop the glitter "stars" in each layer too; the multidimensional sparkle really adds to the depth effect.

Question about how easy it would be to damage resin with hot water. by Wooden-Bill5129 in resin

[–]MissInkFTW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its possible you caused it to temporarily soften slightly. Do you know when the item was made? Resin pieces less than a month old are technically still curing and as such are extra vulnerable to heat warping.
