Kristen, these coasters are incredibly beautiful! I do appreciate your video on resining. I would like to ask about the stamp that you use on the cork. I looked in the description box but didn't find any info. Great job Lady!!

[@KandKCreate]

Thank you Paige!! I customized and ordered the stamp on vistaprint.

[@carmenveal09]

Thank you so much!!!

[@jodietanino6955]

Oops don't have paint in the backs. Are you taping before you paint also? I'm going to look into your heat gun. I torch but maybe I need to invest in yet another tool. Anyway great video! BTW I also found if I pour the hardener down the side really slowly and stir like I'm in slo motion It helps with the bubbles.

[@KandKCreate]

Hi Jodie! Thank you for watching my video! I do tape the backs of the tiles before I paint. I’m actually pretty OCD about it lol. I use 4 pieces of tape and do it like a shadow box, one piece on each of the sides. You can see how I do it on the 6” tile (when I show how to remove the tape after you’ve resined). I do the same thing to the 4” tiles. Only a tiny little part in the middle ends up not being taped and that gets covered by the cork anyway. I personally love using the heat gun. It was about $25 at either Lowe’s or Home Depot. I also stir very slowly. In the video I have it a 4x speed but I actually go super slow. I find the heat gun gets rid of all the little bubbles so much better than the torch, but that’s just my experience.

[@patgreene4029]

Really helpful. Wish I had watched this before I did my first coasters yesterday. They turned out good but I would have been better prepared about what to expect if I had watched this video first. Anyways I learned good lessons about peeling off the tape for tomorrow. BTW what do yo use to attach your coasters to the cups? 😁

[@KandKCreate]

Thank you so much! The tiles just stick to the cups themselves. After I spin them out I put them right on the cups to dry and they stick that way!

[@denisebadeaux1506]

It’s a year old video & I’m really thankful for it. I am getting ready to resin for the 1st & it is coasters. I hope they come out as beautiful as yours. Can I ask you how much you sell your coasters for.? I’m getting ready for a craft show in October & im not sure what to charge for the coasters. I have been doing Fliud paint pouring for a lil over a year now, I am running out of room to store anymore. Lol Anyway thanks for the great lesson & tutorial , it is very helpful and you do beautiful work.

[@kathyquigley6604]

Hello. It's beautiful. 2 questions. How does the Cork stick on. Where do you buy personalized stamps that you stamp on the Cork. Thank you

[@KandKCreate]

The cork has adhesive already on it. Just peel off the paper and stick on. I ordered my stamp from vista print

[@annashyfrina5251]

Hi, I love your videos and follow them alot. I can’t get this process to work. My finished tiles have blemishes and dips and welts on them. It happens almost every time. I tried using less resin and using more resin. I tried to spread it with sponges, brushes or just my finger and I can’t figure it out. Do you have any suggestions ?

[@KandKCreate]

Are you touching the tiles in between the time they dry and you resin them? I’m thinking maybe the dents may be in places where you’ve touched the tile? I don’t touch mine at all. They dry on the cups and then I resin them within 3-4 days.

[@annashyfrina5251]

@@KandKCreate Oh my goodness! That’s it! Yes I absolutely touch them and handle them and move them around and sometimes they sit for weeks before I resin them I will change my process! Thank you thank you thank you!

[@KandKCreate]

@@annashyfrina5251 you can certainly wait the weeks to resin but you’d need to wipe them down first. I use baby wipes if I’ve handled the pieces.

[@mdwms6152]

I've been thinking about resin coating my tiles made with marking pens. I think this resin is what I will try first. Good to see you wore a respirator! Your tiles are gorgeous! What did you use to create the pattern? Thanks for the vid!

[@KandKCreate]

Thank you!!! The KS resin really is great. I used the Shelee Art Bloom technique to make the patterns. I have several videos that show how to do that as well.

[@creativeroadsartbyjulialee9973]

Ty for the video .. they are beautiful!! How do you get your tiles to stick to the cups? Mine always fall off😂

[@KandKCreate]

Thank you! I use the house paint to hold the tile in place on the spinner. Once done spinning I remove it and put it right onto the cups. The paint dries and then the tile just sticks to the cup on its own. I should also mention that I tape the back of the tile so the paint is actually on the tape.

[@beverlyfrederick7670]

Thank you. Great tips. Can I ask how do you attatch your tiles to the cups?

Very nice vedio mam Iam from india Please give me tips for seashell resin tiles making

[@KandKCreate]

Hi, thank you for watching! I’m sorry but I do not know what you mean by seashell resin tiles?

[@juliebecker3594]

I really like this video. Thank you so much for sharing your info with us. I do have a question, do you clean your tiles before you resin? To get the resin to coat the whole tile?

[@KandKCreate]

Thank you! I don’t clean them. After I paint them I lay them on the paper cups to dry. They stick to the cups. With gloves on I then apply the resin. I’ve never had an issue of the resin not sticking properly.

[@mimihealy5046]

How long do the paint and resin layers take to dry? Could these tiles be placed on a wall with thinset? Does grout adhere between tiles?

[@KandKCreate]

I let the paint dry for 2-3 days and then the resin is dry to touch in 12 hours but I wait 2-3 more days before I put the cork on the back. I’ve never tried to use them as actual tiles, just sell them as coasters.

[@lyncanale4628]

do you use duck tape to tape the back of the tile? Or some other type of tape?

[@KandKCreate]

Hi Lyn!! I use 3M blue painters tape. But any painters tape will do.

[@beverlybogues9608]

Can you reapply the epoxy to the coasters again if you need to?

[@marybryan7191]

I may be asking this question way too late given the video has been out for a year, but.....do you have any trouble with the resin pulling back from the edges? Am I maybe using too much resin?

[@KandKCreate]

Hi Mary! I don’t usually have any trouble with the resin pulling away. I don’t touch the tiles at all once they’re dried. It’s important to wipe them down if they’ve been touched at all. Any oil residue from touching will cause the resin to not stick.

[@pbinion70301]

Do you have a tutorial on how you did the paint?

[@KandKCreate]

Hi Paulette! I have a few videos on how I make the tiles. Here’s one kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqOqe41shtuqrLM. I also have a video on how I mix my paints, it video #37

[@rondab16]

How long do you have to wait before you can set hot drinks on them?

[@KandKCreate]

I tell people to wait 3-4 weeks

[@velitaharper2469]

Hello, Do you have a video on applying photos with resin? I can't seem to find the best one for heat resistant.

[@KandKCreate]

Hi! I haven’t tried applying photos with resin. The KS resin I use is heat resistant to 475 degrees.

[@kathyquigley6604]

How do I fix a problem once the resin is dried. A small bump or depression?

[@KandKCreate]

Once the resin is cured you have to sand it down with sandpaper and put another coat of resin on.

[@suew4609]

Do you plan on using that rather large tile as a trivet? Will the resin be able to handle the heat from a pan out of the oven? Do you know of thing I can use to seal them? They are painted with alcohol inks.

[@KandKCreate]

I do sell the large tiles as trivets. The resin I use is KS resin and it is heat resistant to 475 degrees. That being said, I personally have not taken a pot or pan right out of the oven and put it on a resined trivet. I would think you could resin an piece made with alcohol inks.

[@suew4609]

@@KandKCreate I suppose you warn your customers not to, also? Epoxy resin does work with alcohol inks. I think I will try a clear coat for engines. Thanks for answering!

[@doreenharriman2657]

Hi! I am just getting into doing resin coasters. And I’m not sure if you’re going to see my question since this was uploaded a few months back. But, do you have a problem with hot coffee mug sticking to your coasters? I seem to do you have any suggestions for this?

[@KandKCreate]

I haven’t had an issue with hot mugs sticking but they’ve usually been cured by the time they’re used.

[@robynsmouse2294]

Just make sure the resin you buy says heat resistant as I don't see where it says it on this resin so, I'm a bit iffy on this one

[@desireeross9651]

Do you tape the tile to the plastic cup?

[@KandKCreate]

I don’t. They actually stick to the cup when I place them there because there’s paint on the back of the tile. Once resined and dried they come off the cups pretty easily.
