Just a suggestion for all you crafters out there. If you don't have the glue. Mod Podge should work too. Especially the one for dish washer safe. Again just another alternative. Peace Love and Harmony. ✌👍🤗😁

[@palomaforte]

Thank you! I was gonna ask. And the first comment was the answer to my question 😊

[@TheSpelledMilk]

Same. Lol

[@lindyq7534]

Yesss I use Mod Podge Glossy. It is easier to smooth out and dries faster. Also has less brush marks. Your piece turned out really nice. Buy a little craft paint size bottle of the Mod Podge to test and see if you like it as well. I think you may like it better.

Me toooo! Got into watching resin molds all week, and now I’m on the hunt!

[@lindao7887]

I wanted to start epoxy resin also but don't live in a safe place for all the safety precautions. Not well ventilated at all - not willing to wear the mask all the time using it AND while it's curing, and I would have to in this small apt. because the fumes would stay in here constantly. So, I decided to go with UV resin, am enjoying it so far. Good LUck - have fun!

[@mszoomy]

Better idea for you instead of messing with all that "tacky" tacky glue: before you pour the reasin, grape a can of clear spray sealer/top coat. Spray both sides of the paper, when it's dry, put a thin layer of clear then your sealed paper circle. You can put the dots in the rim. Only fill half way, just enough to cover the paper, once it's cured, finish with a color resin, much less work, will use less resin to Great use of your left over dots. I have tons of left overs I'm holding onto for inspiration

Hello to the lady Resin Bell in this tutorial, I hope you get this message as you done this tutorial 10 months ago I have just Subscribed to your channel I was very Impressed with the coaster you done I thought it looked so pretty & you explained step by step Which I found very helpful 👍 you said in your tutorial that you are using Tacky glue can P.V.A. GLUE be used thanks I really hope you get this tutorial ALL THE BEST LIN 👍❤️✨

[@ResinBelle]

Most white glues will work, it's just a matter of experimenting to learn how many layers will give you that "failproof" aspect of the technique. Some glues are thinner or thicker.

[@lindaeastment4542]

[@KylieMEGT]

Beautiful! How do you seal the resin to remove any stickiness?

[@sandysailer]

Beautiful! How long do you let the coats of the Tacky Glue dry, in between coats, and before applying the resin?

[@ResinBelle]

Until the tacky glue is dry and 100% clear. I can't give you an exact time because everyone has different weather conditions where they live. Different humidities etc. But the glue goes on white and dries clear, so when clear is dry. If there are any cloudy white areas then it's not ready.

[@brendamorris5036]

I did this and it came out great,only I did mine in an oblong trinket tray,my question ls can I put a layer of resin on. It..

[@brendamorris5036]

Never mindI just saw it...😂

[@LetiziaCamboni]

Thank you for that video! I was wondering, would you have any tip if I was actually drawing my design myself on paper? How can I properly seal it without ruining it? 😏

[@ResinBelle]

Same way, but allow any inks or paints to dry thoroughly before adding the glue layers. Make sure the first glue layer is thin so that it doesn't stay really wet too long.

[@LetiziaCamboni]

@@ResinBelle Thank you!

Where can we get such plain coasters that u used here

[@ClearlyAwesome83]

My paper keeps having streaks on the finished product with resin over it, no matter how invisible my strokes are. Any idea why? Only thing I can think of is that my mod podge isn't dry enough beforehand?

[@ResinBelle]

Yea if your glue isn't completely dry the resin can seal in the moisture. But also I don't love mod podge because it can do unplanned things.

[@vg211]

any tips for larger pieces of paper.. like A4 Size paper, or do you think this same method will be ok? i guess the larger the paper the more chance of air bubbles when sticking the paper down which is my worry

[@ResinBelle]

I think for something that size I would go with a laminator. I don't love lamination because you can see the edges but in this case prob necessary. Good luck!

[@divyankshisoni4262]

Hey please tell , why we use this glue

[@anshumathur2907]

Loved your tutorial..do you think this would work with a decoupage paper napkin and mod podge?

[@ResinBelle]

Yes for sure! Just make sure you do several coats of mod podge to seal because it's so thin.

[@JaneMills14]

Coaster is beautiful. Question, did you use a silicone mold? And you left it in the mold when it was finished?

[@ResinBelle]

I did use a silicone mold buy it was taken out of the mold at the end. The coaster I made is white so it may not look like it

[@JustCallMeMeghan]

What resin do you use? I love how the coaster turned out! I just made some with scrapbook paper as well, and they didn't turn out well. I used too much glitter, so it's hard to see the paper. 😂

[@ResinBelle]

I use Alumilite Clear Cast. I put glitter in my resin for coaster but just clear on top of the paper. Glitter is life!

[@isabellrc]

I wonder if I could use all my saved wallpaper scraps? And, why not add your paper & bubbles, and fun stuff while making the coaster first?

[@karenmclaughlan9128]

Hi would mod podge work instead of tacky glue plz x

[@Swedutch861]

Love this video. Did you leave the "lip" on the mold and not fill the resin to the top?

[@Swedutch861]

sorry. dumb question. just thought it out more. I guess what i'm saying is most of the coaster I see are completely flat with no lips. can't find them on amazon.

[@ResinBelle]

Yes I left the lip. I only added just enough resin to cover the image rather than fill the whole cavity. The molds are a package of three different shapes. Square, round, and octagon. You can find them in the resin links in the description. You may have to scroll down the list.

[@KarenYauney]

Photos? Would that be thru a injet and or laser - printer?? Please let me know. Thank you 😊

[@ResinBelle]

My first paper in resin video was with inkjet prints. You just have to let the print dry thoroughly and after it's dry heat set it so the color doesn't run before adding glue layer.

[@tillyortiz8942]

Love this idea, do you know if this will work with computer paper, i wanna make coasters for my grand daughters school teachers but use their school logo on computer paper!!!!

[@ResinBelle]

Yes it will, my first Fail Proof Paper In Resin video uses just that. Images I printed on printer paper. ♥️

[@laurengarrahy7891]

I think it depends on the ink and paper. I got some photos done at a printing place on 220gsm synthetic paper and used it for coasters. 8yrs later and still no fading or warping. I did photos from our holiday to Bali so I wanted all of the colours to stay bright.

[@yiselllopez3421]

Do you have to put anything to release the resin from the mold

[@ResinBelle]

No these came out of the mold just fine before I added the paper to them.

[@Rdcbh]

How long do you have to wait for the glue to dry before adding resin?

[@ResinBelle]

Well that's a bit difficult to answer because it will be different for most people depending on temperature, humidity etc where you are. The good thing about Aleenes tacky glue is that it's white but dries clear. Once all of it is completely clear it's ready for resin.

[@offairhead]

I got a laminator on Amazon for under $20 but haven’t used it yet

[@lindao7887]

Wal-Mart - less than $20 as of January, 2023.

[@lindao7887]

Do you find that the type of heat gun you used works better or as well as the actual flame does? I'm about to invest in one or the other, but trying to gather opinions. Seems like the kind you used also helps spread the resin around a bit. Suggestions? By the way, those coasters are gorgeous!!

[@ResinBelle]

In my opinion a craft heat gun used for paper embossing powders is pretty amazing for small projects. I don't use fire of any kind now. For larger projects like tables or deep pours a bigger heat gun may be needed. But yes it does help move Resin around especially into fine details or skinny crevaces in molds (i.e. Antennae in butterfly molds, horns on unicorns)

[@judyfleyshgakker6130]

Hi! Beautiful work. I keep buying resins and they all cure soft and flexible. Do you have a recommendation on an acrylic resin that cures hard? Like that coaster? Or am I doing something wrong?

[@ResinBelle]

There are a number of reason resin may cure soft. Heat, cold, humidity, environment. Using too much alcohol or alcohol inks. Using pigments or inclusions that aren't compatible with the resin. Brand of resin, type of resin. Improper portions of both A and B parts. Improper mixing of both parts.

[@sheilajohnson3037]

Can just paper be covered with resin?

[@ResinBelle]

Yes it can, it's called Resin paper. You can get some neat "see through" effects if you don't seal the paper. But if you don't want that look be sure to seal both sides thoroughly before adding Resin. You can brush it on or pour it on.

[@Ohgrowup1]

I laminate the paper first. No glue necessary!

[@ResinBelle]

Laminating is a great technique. If someone doesn't have a laminator or if you don't like seeing the edges of the laminate around the image this is a good alternative. So many cool techniques to try! 🙂

[@connieroberts9601]

Would this work with UV resin?

[@ResinBelle]

The process would be the same although UV resin is more suited to thin applications.

[@Danyroxs13]

Could anyone help me with this issue? I used mod podge to seal images into a resin keychain for a friend months ago, and she just told me that randomly and suddenly (not gradually) the images in the resin are ruined and look black/grey, almost look like they’re fading into the black background color of the keychain. And this is months after its already been cured and she’s been using it. Anyone know what could’ve caused this? I know that if an image isnt sealed properly, then there would be seepage into the image almost right away while the resin is still wet. But i’ve never heard of seepage months later when the resin isnt even wet anymore? Please help!

[@ResinBelle]

It's possible the images got too much sunlight and faded. Or if the image goes all the way to the edge of the resin some moisture could still seep through the edges since mod podge isn't waterproof. Could be the type of resin and/or a reaction between mod podge over time. Could be any number of things. Without knowing the exact way in Wich the item gets used there is no way to tell for sure. My best guess would be sunlight.

Instead of using all that glue could you not have put UV resin on it and put it under a UV light to harden and have a sheen?

[@ResinBelle]

The issue is that resin of any kind tends to soak into paper unevenly often creating dark splotches that can ruin a piece. The glue is to seal the paper, protecting it from the resin. Then you add a top coat of resin to have a hard surface and seal everything in.
