Little accidents happen all the time when using UV resin, sometimes you can be lucky and they are ‘Happy Accidents’ that’s where something you did not intend to happen – does happen and it turns your creation into something beautiful by mistake, we all love happy accidents.
However there are accidents that often result in total despair and disappointment and pieces get thrown away, you may lose heart and even stop crafting with UV resin – This is what I am hoping, with my video blogs to stop happening, I am showing you natural mistakes/accidents that happen whilst I am creating and then guiding you, with the appropriate tools to be able to – Fix It, like the Dremel Multi Tool
The little mistake that happened during my previous video (watch here) was that, while I was adding a top coat of UV resin – it had unknowingly run over the edge, and was cured, resulting in me finding a big drop of hard resin in a place where it shouldn’t have been.
Now when it is only a small amount of resin you could remove it easily with a deburring tool , but this was way to large for that – so I had to reach for my Dremel Multi Tool, which is always set up beside me ready to use as needed.
I only share tools and materials with you that I personally use.
So as you saw here in the video, the problem was easily solved using the Dremel Multi Tool ,it was much too large to just tackle with a file, sandpaper or deburring tool. I also use a flexible shaft that my Dremel is attached too, I find this much easier to handle, especially when working on smaller pieces or engraving.
I do hope you have found this useful, and I look forward to you joining me for my next video – where I will again, be using the Dremel, but this time to drill out a bit of fluff, or a hair that has been cured inside a piece and spoils the finished look.
On my tools and materials page you will find links to some of the tools that I personally use for my creations, and materials too.
