Hey there! Gr8 video. How do u make sure your edges are smooth? And I dont mean where the paint meets lolol.

[@JSCreationsArtSanity]

All I do is give them a quick wipe with alcohol, put on the resin, and use my finger to smooth it out and around. I just rub my finger along the edge. If for some reason the top coat gets messed up, I'll wait at least two days before lightly sanding, wipe with alcohol, and resin again. Hope that helps? Thanks so much for watching!

So how do I handle drips that are on the edges? I go over the edge with my fingers but sometimes it builds up and then I have to sand them down. Very time consuming!!! Any suggestions????

[@JSCreationsArtSanity]

Are you talking about drips that build up where the coaster edge and tape meet? Try heating that edge a little with your heat gun and then cutting along the edge before pulling the tape off. Maybe that will help the tape pull those drips off. Or you could try a thin layer of Vaseline. Resin won't stick to it but it will make your resin "fish eye" so you have to be careful. I'm with you, sanding is very time consuming and I hate doing it. It's one of the downsides to working with resin. Hope this helps a little and thanks so much for watching!

@@JSCreationsArtSanity Yes - exactly where the edge and tape meet. I'll try the heat gun option. Thank you for suggesting that. Appreciate your quick response too!!! Keep up the beautiful work!!!
