DIY Photo Coasters with Resin Topcoat

[@gregoriybelskiy1]

Thanks for your excellent video, Adriana! You just only one to show, that is possible to print real photo on temporary tattoo paper. If we are talking about coasters, covered with epoxy resin, that is the better to use just ceramic tile, then wooden peace. Then, in all the videos they show that is not necessary to protect temporary tattoos image with mod poge, like we are doing with regular prints.

Great project!!! Thank you. BTW your little boy is very cute, nice picture

[@AngieHolden]

Thanks! That is my grandson actually!

[@lydiagreene2265]

Where did you get your coasters? Thanks in advance.

[@AngieHolden]

The company that they came from has went out of business. You might try Amazon.

[@lydiagreene2265]

I failed...Printed images on photo paper then transferred to tattoo paper (as per instructions) that you listed above and painted coasters twice with paint. Allowed paint to dry overnight. Everything was going well until I started to wet; It never released pictures onto wood nor did it soak through as per your video. :(. Any tips...... Thanks in advance.

[@AngieHolden]

Sounds like an issue with the tattoo paper. You might see if the paper you have is the exact same instructions as what I used.

[@lydiagreene2265]

@@AngieHolden Thanks. I did go back and read the instructions. My mistake was using regular Kodak photo paper instead of the paper that came in the package. For some reason, I thought they were only cardboard separators for the actual sticky film.....lol. Rookie mistake...Thanks again for all your help and timely responses.:)

Does this resin smell strong. I’ve wanted to do these coasters for years but worried about odors from resin? I’ve read so many reviews that say this resin has strong odor when using and when dry still stinks bad and very sticky. Thank you

[@AngieHolden]

Definitely not. If the resin is sticky once cured, you have not mixed it properly.

[@debbiejeffers1928]

Angie Holden so not a strong chemical smell ? I want to make some for a friends wedding and I really don’t want them smelly when given out. Sorry to be a bother but better safe than sorry later. 😊

[@AngieHolden]

Not at all! I have done a ton of resin projects. No issues!

[@debbiejeffers1928]

Thank you so very much Angie. I’ve asked several people about other brands of resin and they say oh no not smelly at all and I spend my hard earned money and buy one and even after projects are dry they stink for days. So thank you. I will try this brand. Have a very blessed evening. 🤓🤗😇

[@AngieHolden]

I have two brands I use exclusively and both are fine!
