Using Magnets to create unique effects in Resin

What happens when you mix magnets with epoxy resin? 🧲✨ In this mind-blowing experiment, I test out the idea—magnetic mica pigments and some magnets underneath the resin to see if it affects the curing, movement, or final look. The results were shocking… and oddly satisfying! 😱

Whether you're a resin artist, DIY lover, or just curious about science meets art, this video is packed with creative inspiration and unexpected outcomes. I tried different types of magnets and resin pouring techniques to see how they interact !

This project is part of my ongoing resin art experiments where I push the boundaries of what's possible with epoxy, eco resin, and mixed media materials. If you're into DIY resin crafts, magnetic tricks, or unique art ideas, this one’s for you!

Watch till the end to see how the magnet effect changes the whole resin dynamic!

I've not played with magnets and magnetic pigments but just a thought... You are placing the magnets on a metal tray so the direction of the magnets would be facing down and connecting with the tray (or you'd feel that repelling force) Perhaps an interesting experiment would be to use a plastic tray for these and to make sure the magnets are flipped the other way so you can see if they can have a greater effect on the pigments? These turned out great but it could be really interesting to see if it makes a difference when you're working with the attractive force of the magnets poles rather than the repelling forces. It looks like you were getting the lines between the hearts where they were pushing the pigments as far from each other as possible. You might get to see the heart shapes if the magnets were flipped. You can see this effect really clear where you had the ring of magnets around the outside and all the pigments getting pushed to the centre.

For the oddly shaped magnets, use a little double sided tape to help arranging. It won't always work if the magnets are too close or really strong but it might get them to hold just enough apart for you.

I tell you one thing: it's not about shape, it's about power. The more powerful the magnet is, the more you can see the effects. And probably you'll see the best effects with 2 powerful magnets one opposite to the other.

Idea: do layers with different colours, moving the magnets each time.

A resin clock mold would be interesting to experiment with.

Pay attention to the polarity of the magnets; I think they’re chaining together across the resin.
For the hard-to-control magnets)balls, ovoids, etc.), try bedding them in dough, clay, or play-doh. Once you figure out what the colors are doing, you can guide shapes by consciously positioning the magnets, and you can make repeatable designs by gluing the ones you like.

I would experiment with single and dual arrangements, rather than using so many magnets at once; that way, you can learn how they act and interact faster. Adding small metal pieces to the magnet layout can give you more control, and different effects.
