To add, I make sure the canvas is level. I continuously wipe the sides. But I always end up with the edges/partial edges lacking resin. It just seems to pull no matter what I do lol. I almost thought about mixing it, and letting it harden for just a few minutes. Just enough that it isn't so runny?

I let it dry and come back to it with more resin and try my best to fill in the spots without adding to the top more…it ends up working pretty god

The heat is to pop any bubbles that appear inside the clear coat

​@@MessyCuts_HQThanks so much

It's a Flame Torch. You can use a heat gun however it may not be as affective.

They sell mini butane torches at smoke shops or gas stations

At least 2 weeks! Watercolour should be sealed before applying resin.

There might be bubbles in the resin - the flame helps remove these.

Thank you! Not always...depends on what you like!

You can put clear coat, then paint on top the first coat, and clear coat it again and depending how much u use it can give some depth to ur painting

I let the acrylic dry completely before adding the resin

in the video the creator isn’t drying it, epoxy resin is cured not dried so you just have to leave it for 24 hours i believe

He’s using a torch to pop any bubbles in the resin so it is a clear finish without bubbles or craters from popped bubbles

Depends on the ratio of resin you buy :)

You always have to mix resin with a hardener if using it

@@lambsstudio thanks for telling

I love using resin!

It’s a way different finish. Spray on is more like a sealant, clear coat/resin is like putting glass on top almost … it’s a huuuuuuge difference honestly resin is much nicer

I wipe it across the sides same as the top.

thank you!

@@lambsstudio ofc!! 🌻😃

Hey there - it sounds like the part A and B weren't mixed properly, or there was too much pigment added. I wouldn't rely on it curing at any point, so it's best to scoop it out and try again! Sorry that it didn't work out!

I'm so sorry to hear! Here are my tips: -make sure you're using a resin that is for top-coating (these resins are usually a 1:1 ratio, and very thick!) -craters can happen if there is something on the canvas, which you can avoid by sealing the canvas first OR it could mean your space is too humid. make sure it's not above 70% humidity before pouring to be safe.

@@lambsstudio thank you so much your fast response! Was very helpful! Looks like i was too fast, canvas was not dry, and also i wasnt use the propery resin! Was so helpful! Have a nice day! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

@@lambsstudio how do you seal? And what type of blow torch should I use? Sorry for all the questions I am new to this. Thank you in advance!

@@saudademoods8926any type works u can get the small butane torches at smoke shops or even gas stations it pops any bubbles that appear in the clear coat

@@anitazombori198usually when mine does that it’s because I didn’t put enough…I realized being stingy and trying to make the clear coat stretch isn’t the best idea that could take a painting from being worth thousands and thousands of dollars down to a painting that has flaws and ppl might not even want u kno….if I miss it and it ends up drying with dry spots I come back with more clear coat and fill in the spots wherever it’s needed

Sounds like the ratios weren't mixed well together. I suggest scraping it off and starting again!

hmm sounds like it could be a couple of things...when you say props do you mean 3D things?

thank you ❤

good tune

by using a heat gun or flame torch :)

Sounds like it may have been too humid in your working area? What resin are you using?

glad I could help! There's a lot of ways to top-coat, ad the reason I smeared this one is because I was working on canvas - too much resin and it can warp the framing or create a sag in the centre.

@@lambsstudioyou learn something new everyday

about 24 hours to be touch dry, 24 hours to fully cure :)

@@lambsstudio Hello Do you have a full video on this beautiful colorful painting and the technique used so very pretty I subscribed 😊 Ty for sharing

Hi! Thank you for your comment. I document most of my practice over on my instagram @lambsstudio @@UIV7096

@@lambsstudio Ok Thank you I’ll head over :) Happy New Year!

always use the manufacturers advice, but I need to update this video to always measure by ratio. thank you for the reminder!

We had plenty of ventilation in this room and as a one off (during a workshop), it’s not required. As I’m exposed to it more, I wear a respirator in my practice but for beginners, it’s optional in my workshops.

I use Just Resin's DiamondCote resin for all my top coats. Use my discount for 10% off! "LAMBSSTUDIO"

Is it best to use blow torch for top coat or heat gun

blow torch! a heat gun will move the resin around, and if you're just coating, then a blow torch will get rid of bubbles perfectly. @@tahiraaamer3114

@@lambsstudiocan i blow dryer ?

a blow dryer will move the resin around, but might not reach the correct temperature to remove bubbles@@sparklelistz

Sounds like the weighing is the problem! Part A and B will weigh differently, so they wouldn't be equal parts and the ratio would be off. For 1:1 resin products, it's best to measure using mls.

@lambsstudio yeah but the seller told me to weigh in equal parts.

@@shovanabajracharya Try measuring in mls and see if it makes a difference!

@@lambsstudio I had to throw away the one which didn't set.

youre so welcome! thanks for the kind comment.

It sounds like your ratios weren't right! Unfortunately, if it has been over 72 hours and it hasn't hardened, it will never harden.

Do you just use isopropyl alcohol or are you using a mix of isopropyl with vegetable glycerin/some sort of blending solution?

@@Zak_Edington I only use the ink - no extra additives. If you apply more isopropyl the colour will fade.

Yes I do multiple coats. My last coat is always clear, using Just Resin's DiamondCote - it is high gloss, ultra clear and UV resistant. I wait about 2-4 days in between coats.

❤❤

Amazing! The panel is from Art Boards Australia and comes pre-framed. You can stick yupo paper down onto a wooden board and resin top-coat.

It's called leafing size, and is generally sold with the leaves.

Hey Zak, I'm sorry about that! I am contacting JR regarding this.

Oh no! You'll have to scrape it off completely, and follow the disposal instructions with your resin supplier.
