Very nice and beautifully explained 🌹

[@MaineCoonPride]

I love working with ArtResin!

[@nickolascrego5716]

Art Resin is the only resin i use. To me it's the best, I can sit at my dinning room table and do my coasters. I have discovered that putting lights in my coasters is a big hit for people who sit around the campfire at night. And they are beautiful with the lights. Thank you so much Art Resin for your product.

[@Artresin]

so glad to hear :). the foundation of creating artresin was 1) make it CLEAR 2) make is SAFE :). thanks for your business!

[@michellerosenbaum6611]

Thank you for this great tutorial that covered so many things with very easy to follow explanations and helpful hints. I also liked that it wasn't sped up in areas that can keep you guessing of what actually took place. I wish I had come across this sooner, but I'm glad I finally did. I love all of your tutorials on your site.

[@Artresin]

thank you for your feedback :)

[@Beehive65]

This was a fantastic video. I was so unsure about what resin to buy, and your video was just what I needed to make my choice. Thank you for an amazing video.

This video was FULL of information for best results. I learned more from this one video then the few dozens prior. I feel confident that I can purchase this product because of your wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much for the time in making this for all of us. I will be using my cork coaster that I designed using the pyrography technique and be able to seal it now. I am so delighted. Many Hugs *~Shana

[@Artresin]

So glad to hear you enjoyed it :)

[@jellofish1455]

But they leave out of the most important things about resin in that you always need alcohol near to clean any spills off your skin and ALWAYS wear a respiratory. Great tutorial but the safety is lacking.

[@summerlovereign]

This video is amazing! I love resin created products. I’m so inspired . Thanks for spreading the knowledge. :)

[@camkeni]

Excellent - I was looking for a method to make coasters or trivets using stained glass . . . and this seems to be it. THANKS!!!

[@53Raelene]

This has been the best resin tutorial I've seen so far, and I've seen a lot! You explained everything so well, and thank you for the tips about the warm water bath and not using a torch when alcohol inks are used. Obviously I haven't tried them yet or I think I would have burned the house down by now as I wouldn't even have thought about alcohol and an open flame hahaha All of your coasters were just gorgeous and I loved how lovely ladies showed so many different variety of ways to make them. Thank you!!

[@Artresin]

Aw, thank you Raelene!! I'm so glad you enjoyed our video!

[@jellofish1455]

Always wear a respirator and do any resin projects in a well ventilated room like a garage, porch, or all the windows open in a room and lots of fans

[@lindaeastment4542]

HI, Thank you so much for sharing a really lovely resin tutorial I really enjoyed watching you & your Guests demoing different Techniques I have never used resin before but really thinking of giving it a go you have really Inspired me 👍 in your tutorial you put a mug on the Coaster but please can u tell me can u put a hot mug on coffee on the coaster YOUR HELP WOULD REALLY BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED THANKS. ❤️Lin

[@Artresin]

Hi Linda, ArtResin is heat resistant up to 120F, so the heat from a warm mug should be fine, however you would want to avoid putting dishes straight from the oven onto your coaster or trivet.

[@lizhamilton5934]

Thank you for these tutorials. Really cool.

[@beverleypearson2646]

Fantastic long video. Thank you 😊

[@MileyonDisney]

Lots of great projects and tips. Thanks!

[@SashasRevenge]

Great video, great tips. Loved it. ❤️👍🏼

[@junemyers6275]

Hello, I’ve used painters tape for everything that’s a pour, be it resin or acrylic paint pours.When you use tape for resin pours or even paint pours and it runs over or if you use your fingers to spread, if you wait for a minute or two after you pour you can use a toothpick or a flat stick and scrape the drippy off and you will have less or no problem peeling off the tape. You can also use a heat gun on low to heat up the resin and it also helps to remove your tape. That’s just what I do. 🙏🏼🤗

[@Artresin]

Great tips! Thanks for sharing :)

[@julieharris47]

Can you please tell me how you clean your jugs and measuring cups after resin is poured, I’m really new to this haven’t plucked up courage to try it yet but do have everything I need Thank you. Your video is so helpful

[@Artresin]

Yes you can! If you want even hotter things or even harder surfaces, we have a product called ‘industrialclear.com’ too :) it has higher heat resistance!

[@fujierobesky5651]

How do you prevent the meniscus from forming in a poured forms? Learned from your video how to dome on a poured object. Thank You

[@Artresin]

Hello Fujie, Can you explain a little more about what is going on with your piece. I want to be sure I understand to give you the correct steps :)

[@venchetty512]

This video is very informative. Thank you! Please can you share the safety precautions that I need to be aware of when using resin.

[@Artresin]

ArtResin conforms to ASTM D4236, meaning it is certified as safe for home use and non-toxic when used as directed, however there are some safety precautions that every user should follow: Wear gloves. ArtResin is very sticky in its liquid form, so gloves will protect the user from a mess, as well as skin irritation. Clean skin promptly with soap and water if it does come in contact with ArtResin. If ArtResin somehow comes in contact with your eyes, flush with water repeatedly and do not rub. Promptly seek medical attention. Work in a well ventilated area. Wear a respirator if ventilation is poor. See our blog for further information: www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/what-safety-precautions-should-i-take-when-using-artresin For detailed health information, please see the ArtResin SDS. www.artresin.com/pages/sds

[@swtmelly]

@artresin how do you clean the container you mix your resin in, or is it trashed after.

[@elaine.jnailartist1355]

Hi xx when I use the site pigment it drops to the bottom just leaving big white dote xx can you help xxxx

[@Artresin]

Our Ink Sinker is unique because it's heavier than most. This means that it has the ability to drive the alcohol ink down into the resin. Typically the ratio is 1:2 .... 1 drop of white per 2 drops of color and you want to drop the white Ink Sinker onto the color so it drives the color down into the resin. As long as you remember to follow the colored alcohol ink drops with Ink Sinker, there's no right or wrong. Keep in mind that the more white you add, the more the ink will sink to the bottom: too much white and you'll get more white dots on the bottom of your coaster/piece.

[@elaine.jnailartist1355]

ArtResin Awww thank you so much for your reply xx that is so helpful xxx your videos are amazing 💕💕💕💕

[@pgreene62]

Great video, can you do one on cleaning up after resin.❤️

[@Artresin]

Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂. Here is a link to a blog we have on how to clean up containers after resining: www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/how-can-i-clean-epoxy-resin-mixing-containers?_pos=2&_sid=e1d3e3927&_ss=r. Hope that helps!

[@kathleenrobbins7544]

I love all this information. I haven't made anything yet, but what I would like to do is pour a 6x6 inch square, and paint on the top of it. Do you know if this has been done before? I like the ideal of seeing through the piece. Then I would probably then like to try using the art resin tint to go along with the acrylic paints that I choose. Do you think the acrylic paints will stick, and then what should I use as a sealant for the paint? I hope you can help me. Thank you so much.

[@bonitablackburn5365]

Great I think a lot of folks wpuld appreciate knowing this. Art can be expensive especially when you live solely on Social Security. That's why I've only been able to buy the 32 oz.size. Someday I'll be able to get, at least, a gallon mix if Art Resin. I have paintings dancing around in my head that I want to do before I forget them all!! Lol. Take care and please put this to the test, you'll love it and so will your viewers.

I am new to using Resin, so thanks for your super informative video; however, it would have been great to see some close up shots of the pieces after the 24 hours curing.

[@Stercusaccidit666]

When using the 3 coaster mold I have never been able to pull a mold out without damaging it. I have waited 3 days and used your tips on sticking (i.e. putting the mold in the freezer and using warm water)

[@Artresin]

Another trick we use is to remove the piece from the mold at around the 12-18 hour mark and to let it continue to cure outside of the mold.

[@who818]

Nicely done tutorial.

[@CassidyTuttle]

How do you finish the edges from the coaster molds? I find they get slightly raised on the outer edges. So the finished "bottom" or back isn't quite flat.

[@Artresin]

Hi Cassidy, you can sand off the higher parts or you could dome a layer of resin on top.

[@CassidyTuttle]

@@Artresin Awesome. Thanks!

[@Iminlovewiththeco]

Will I need Cork under the resin to prevent it from scratching my furniture?

[@Artresin]

If you choose you can take that precaution however the cured resin is not abrasive-it is essentially like plastic.

[@bethmatteson1332]

May I ask when doing 2 coats on mound coaster can the resin be different colors and noticeable? Thank you.

[@Artresin]

Hi Beth, Yes! You can change the color of the resin for each pour. We recommend doing some small test pours to see how you like the different effects. If you pour translucent colors, they will show differently one layer to another versus if you're using opaque colors.

[@ursulapotgieter2066]

Brilliant tutorial!!!😀😘😍

[@mikesevilla9214]

I just started with silicone mold if u use mica powder do u start from the bottom up or not also when I pulled my coaster out of mold the edges curved up what can I do to avoid that

[@Artresin]

Hi Mike - there's really no right or wrong when making coasters. You might find that the pearl separates and sinks to the bottom so you can either wait until the resin thickens a little bit before you pour into your mold or you can stir the resin in the mold occasionally to prevent it from settling at the bottom. Experiment to see what you like best. As far as the edges curving up ... it is normal to experience a slight concave edge. This is easily fixed by either trimming the edges when the resin is dry to the touch ( and still soft enough to trim ) or when the resin is fully cured you can sand the edges with a dremel tool or sander and applying a thin coat of resin mixture to restore the gloss.

[@prinasanghrajka3345]

Hi! Really great video. So helpful to know some of these tips. Thank you. I was hoping you could share a link of the type of masking tape you used to avoid drips when applying art resin on a dotted coaster.

[@Artresin]

Hi Prina, glad you enjoyed the video-thanks for watching. We just use regular painters tape as masking tape-easily found at any painting supply store.

[@fatimash5043]

Woooow. So amazing. I love it And i doing this art 👍👍👍👏👏❤️

[@Decopainterandtea]

Do you find that if you don't resin the sides of the wood slices, they eventually peel? I have some I am going to resin and want to see if I should do the sides.

[@Artresin]

No, we have a few pieces where we did not do the sides and have not had any issues with peeling :)

[@aisha6860]

I have question I worked like steps, but at the end the jewelry that I made wasn't strong 😢😢😢 do you have any idea why 😔😔

[@Artresin]

Hi Aisha - Bendy resin can happen for a few reasons. Take a look at our blog for more information and how to prevent it: www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/how-to-prevent-bendy-resin?_pos=1&_sid=3df523153&_ss=r

[@deborahnoble7361]

Hi I have thee petri dishes and have done my first set but noticed that some were realy flat at the bottom and some were raised like a air bubble should you wash with warm water petri dish to soften the mold and it will sit flat can you please help.

[@Artresin]

Hi Deborah, it might be easier to help answer your question if we could see some pictures of what happened. Can I ask you to please send an email, with pictures to [e-mail]. Our customer service team would be glad to help.

[@shazzaisdabest1]

Can you slush cast the outside of a mould in black resin before adding anything in the middle? I imagine so but i want to ask the question anyway

[@Artresin]

Hi Shannon, We don't use that technique however - in theory, it would work if you somehow attached a hollow mold to the rotisserie spinner and let it spin until cured. Now please keep in mind that ArtResin has a 24 hours cure time to the touch and 72 hours for a full cure :)

[@adrianaariza-jones3694]

Excellent !!!I always love your videos. I have your resin and the tip about warming it before is great. We have now low temperatures so is good to know these details. Other thing is that I never have worked with alcohol ink, I love the effects!! . Im going to try it, I am glad that I hear that I can't use the torch, that could be bad!!! . Thank you for the comparison with the three techniques of sealing, I didn't know that can be different each one .Question: 1.- There is any place where we can look to see the exact amount of resin we need for each size of project? . 2.- You also mentioned that we can sand the rough corners, but when we do so, is no shine anymore so what we should do? . Thank you for the step by step process. I personally appreciate it very very much !!

[@Artresin]

Adriana, your comment made my day - thank you! I'm so happy you found the video helpful and that you learned some new information :) As far as how much resin to use - we do have our calculator on our website, although that isn't really designed for circular pieces, but it can give you a rough idea for the layered coasters. For the coasters in the molds, honestly, we just eyeballed it, based on how thick we wanted to pour. Yes, you can sand down the corners, and to restore the shine, simply mix up a small batch of resin and hardener and apply with a gloved finger or a disposable foam brush, much in the same way that I restored the gloss on the square piece that had been in the matte mold. Thanks again for watching! ❤️

[@adrianaariza-jones3694]

@@Artresin ❤️ Thank you for the respond. ❤️❤️❤️.

[@shadowplayer1060]

What is the alternative of torch if we don't have torch?

[@Artresin]

A torch really is the best method to remove bubbles but when using a mold you can use a heat gun to remove them as well :)

[@freeziemuddie1991]

Is there a project that in involves a deep pour resin mold?

[@Artresin]

ArtResin was initially designed to be a sealant and poured at an 1/8th of an inch in depth. We do have artists that use our product for pouring deeper than an an 1/8th of an inch but they achieve this by doing multiple pours. You can go up to 1/4 inch in your pour and would suggest you use a torch to help pop any bubbles you may have. You can layer ArtResin epoxy resin in multiple coats, as high as you'd like, as long as you pour in 1/8" increments. You have two choices when pouring multiple layers: the first is to pour your first layer, torch out the bubbles, cover and wait 3-5 hours until your ArtResin epoxy resin reaches a jelly like stage. At this point, you can pour on your next 1/8" layer, torch out bubbles, cover, wait 3-5 hrs and repeat until you reach the height you desire. This method is especially handy when pouring into a mold or a dam. The second option is to allow your first layer to fully dry, then give the overall piece a light sanding and pour on your next 1/8" layer. Torch out bubbles, cover and let this layer dry. Repeat these steps as many times as you'd like. Keep in mind that our recommendation of a 72hr cure time is based on a 1/8" layer. The thicker your layers are, the longer the cure time will be. It could take up to 10 days for a full cure, depending on how many layers you've poured.
