hi this is julie for beadaholique.com rubber and in a previous video we went ahead and we actually created this mold from this plastic bangle and so now I want to reproduce this bangle but I'd like to do it in a different color and I want to do it using ice resin so to begin with we're going to need to mix up our resin and I'm going to guest it I'm going to estimate that I need about two ounces for this so I've got my mixing Cup here with measurements along the side so I'm going to pour one ounce of Part A when you're using ice resin you need to make sure you have equal parts of Part A and Part B so now I'm going to pour one ounce of Part B which is the hardener and I'm going to mix these together for a full two minutes until they are fully blended together my resin is fully mixed and now I want to add some color and you can mix colors so I've got two transparent colors right here I have a green and yellow I'm going to do two drops of green and my yellow for some reason has lost its topper I'm just going to do a drop of yellow got more than a drop in there it should be okay though I can already tell that I want a little bit more green and another drop of green should I think I'll do too you notice I put down some protective sheeting over my table you always want to do that when you're working with resin and pigments and I'm scraping the sides of my container as I go I want to make sure this is fully blended right when all striations are gone the colors are completely blended I'm going to let this sit for about five minutes you have to work pretty quickly with the resin you don't want let it sit for too long but I do and let some of those bubbles come to the surface and pop on their own especially since I'm going to be pouring this into a mold like this I mean we've been patient we've waited five minutes some of the bubbles are gone not all of them are and I've actually donned a glove because I've feeling this is going to get a little bit messy now if you've seen my other resin videos you know what I usually recommend is that you take the resin onto the stir stick and you dribble it into the mold it's a little bit hard in a case like this so we're actually going to pour the resin and it is going to get on to the top area as well that's okay we're gonna be able to peel that away later so what I want to do right now is I want to remove my stir stick and I'm gonna pull back an edge in my mold see how flexible this is and this mold did not require any mold release I'm going to push in the sides of my cup to make a little spout I'm going to pour my resin into my mold I'm pausing it might be a little bit hard to tell in the video but what the residents doing right now is it is seeping along the edges and filling in the cracks I'm going to help it along a little bit pour some more what I'm doing is I wanted to go right up to the edge I don't want to go over too much it's okay if it does it just kind of crackle off for you when you try to pull this out I just want to make sure it's filled fully and I know when I made this particular mold I had a little bit of a clay rim around it to adhere the bangle itself to the container which I made the mold in and so that actually gave a little bit of lip to my bangle bracelet when I pour it and so I know I'm gonna have to sand that down anyways so I'm up to the top I know I'm totally fine for the actual shape of the bangle so I'm gonna let this cure fully for three days normally you can go ahead and start working with some resin after about 24 hours it's hardened but because of the nature of this mold the fact that I'm going to really probably have to pry the bangle out it's going to come up is I'm guessing from past experience it's going to give me a little bit of a challenge getting the bangle itself out of the mold just because of the rounded shape to it where it comes to a tapered point up at the top so I want to wait three full days before I attempt to pull this one out just to make sure that it's fully cured and I don't do any damage to the bank will itself and then I can know I can apply it some good force to it so we're going to be patient we're going to wait and then we're going to come back in three days we've waited three days and asked time to remove our bangle bracelet from the mold and to do so first off any type of resin that you have which spilled over the sides should just be able to be picked and cracked off you might have a little you might have a lot just try to remove as much as you can all right now we're going to loosen the sides of the mold to do that just depress on the edge and work your way all the way around we're gonna down the inside as well see if we can pull it away or just allowing air to get in there and that's going to help us to be able to pull the bangle out of the mold itself the moldy mate is completely reusable so don't worry about it you're not going to stretch it too much just rubber it goes back into place now we're gonna try to grab it out to do so I'm going to pull down aside I'm going to try to get my fingers under it I'm going to work my way around the edge trying to pull it out it's gonna be a little bit easier if you have a ring the bangles a little bit more challenging because it does have so much of the mold in the middle that you're trying to release it from there we go now I want to show you real quick you are going to have the smooth edge which is where the bangle was put down into the mold as such because of course that was molded perfectly with the original object and then you can have a rough edge what you're going to want to do with this rough edge is you're going to want to take a file and you want to sand it down I would suggest wearing a mask when you do this you don't want any other resin to get into your lung as you don't want to be breathing it but you're going to carefully go along the edge and remove the rough edge it took me about 15 to 20 minutes of sanding but I was finally able to get that rough edge all smooth down and as you can see it's now flushed so we have the complete bangle and that's really nice and smooth I made sure that actually sanded within the interior edge as well so that when you put the bangle onto your wrist it's smooth there's no sharp edges and as you can see we now have an exact duplicate of our original bangle bracelet which we molded out of resin
