I seal the paper with Mod-Podge first, no darkening of the paper. And I noticed there need to be a strong glue underneath the paper (like E-6000) or it may warp, that happened the other day...<br />Earlier this season, I put it to cure in the sun, sure took a while, but turned out nice otherwise. The NJ winter is here, so I bought the curing lamp (Pavelka's). <br />I like the gel, except I'm often having problems with those pesky bubbles...I don't have a heat-gun...Maybe I should get one? It also seems like the bigger bottle of this stuff creates more bubbles..the opening is too big.<br />-JeanetteJeanettehttp://www.inspiredartisan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212366816047128713.post-64407969187781973052010-07-31T09:07:12.661-07:002010-07-31T09:07:12.661-07:00Perhaps if you seal th epaper with a transparent g...Perhaps if you seal th epaper with a transparent glue like weldbond or modge podge it might protect the ink from any chemical effects caused by the resin?<br /><br />g.Gera Scott Chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09421627489215999274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212366816047128713.post-58876317232319049432010-07-26T11:01:17.951-07:002010-07-26T11:01:17.951-07:00Has anyone else had a problem with the Gel du Sole...Has anyone else had a problem with the Gel du Soleil darkening the paper used as the art work?

I was advised to apply more of the product - but it still wasn't a nice domed finish. We were applying over foils and pearlexed clay tiles - but that shouldn't have made a difference. I'll have to try and source some of these other resins here in Australia.

I got a nozzle with my sample and seems the longer nozzles give the resin time to form bubbles because of the squeeze and release action while applying resin. Discovered that because I also tried a pipette. The small bottles of magic glos have the perfect short nozzles that don't give the resin too much time to bubble up.<br />If want a removable bottom for a 36 Watt lamp...I highly recommend the white one I had gotten on Ebay. It looks just like this one...http://cgi.ebay.ca/Professional-36-Watt-UV-Light-Lamp-Gel-Nail-818_W0QQitemZ250620656999QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3a5a27bd67 but can't find the seller now. I got mine for about $35 including Shipping which makes me think I lucked out. I asked for the north american plug in. The bottom try is removable and I can place the lamp over my tile with resin items.<br />Thanks for the link.Beadcomberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05776363515279928998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212366816047128713.post-35332098206744556402010-04-26T12:35:25.866-07:002010-04-26T12:35:25.866-07:00Even though I am not a resin user, I enjoyed readi...Even though I am not a resin user, I enjoyed reading your reviews of these products!Craftymoose Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791008130982382299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212366816047128713.post-31372160894508500842010-04-26T11:48:56.872-07:002010-04-26T11:48:56.872-07:00The only one of the resins I've used is Lisa P...The only one of the resins I've used is Lisa Pavelka's brand and I was delighted with it. No bubbles, no mixing. I didn't invest in any special equipment to cure it other than a black light from WalMart. I already had an undercounter florescent light so the bulb was my only investment. I like it because I can work on my piece on my regular 8" tiles that I bake on, then just sit the light up over it. Works beautifully!

Do you think your bottle was shaken or something?<br /><br />With popping the bubbles I find that a BBQ lighter works just fine and I don't need to use a torch. Never tried an embossing gun though, so thanks for the tip not to use it on the UltraDome.<br /><br />It would be good to have a Canadian Distributor for these resins. That shipping and border issue is such a pain. We'll have to see about making that happen.<br /><br />Nice to know about the Judikins stuff. I actually have her lamp which is OK but not very powerful. Would definitely love to have the one with the open bottom that UltraDome has though. It seems like the best way to go.<br /><br />Polymer clay sure looks gorgeous with the resin on it, doesn't it? I can see lots of Faux Dichroic Glass in our future! Your pieces are just stunning with it!<br /><br />Thanks for doing the review. It is very helpful. Also thanks for the link to my blog.
