Do one half. The top half. Let it fully set. Do the bottom. Let it fully set. Do this a couple times. Make each coat, very thin, so there is minimal drips and runs. watching this video, you used too much at a time. Much thinner, and to get your thickness, do it multiple times.

Lydia this video is a huge success. Everyone has responded to your own questions & each others' from their own experiences with such generosity of spirit that they combine with you to form an invaluable tutorial. I've been researching heavily before opening my resin bottles and at last all my questions have been answered although I'm sure I'll be chipping in with some more when I start resining in earnest! Sincere thanks to you and everyone who has responded below and urge people to keep responding, this is a living platform!

Depending on how you're going to use these stones, you could glue a piece of felt to the flat spot on the bottom. That would protect a table the stone might sit on as well as covering the dull spot. Just an idea.

Just sub'd to your chanel and I have painted rocks for nearly 16 or 17 yrs . I recently picked up a tip when doing resin on my rocks which I think you will also benefit from. I too have tried the silicone mat and hated the flat bit left underneath , so dont do that anymore, I saw someone putting 4 screws into a piece of balsa wood so the screws are sticking upwards , worked great apart from balsa wood is too flimsy so i changed it to a piece of pallet wood for extra weight and it is brilliant. |Dont put too much resin on , just wipe it on with gloved hands and rest rock onto the 4 screws , check for small drips within half hr or so and wipe them - the result is a perfect rock with maybe 4 tiny dots where the screws contacted the resin , the heavier the rock the more they left a small mark , which you can tap away with a small hammer or another rock ? up to you. This has made my life of rock painting 100 times better so I made several " racks " to accomadate assorted sized rocks from tiny to large....best results i've ever had.

Your solution reminded me of the little doohickies they use when firing glazed items in a kiln. The purpose is essentially the same. You don't want your glaze touching anything else during the firing process to get that glossy look. You will still get the same marks although its possible they could be smaller. They are called ceramic tripod stilts. Not cheap but if time is short and money somewhat plentiful.... haha.

I saw something similar elsewhere. The artist put 4-6 push pins (bulletin board coloured push pins) pointy side up in a shallow plastic container and added resin to cover the pins halfway. When it set, you get a solid tool with pointy tips on which to rest a rock.

Lydia, for ones that I resin that end up with a flat spot on the bottom I just use a palm sander to sand it down and then I use a spray sealer to seal it as most times there is not anything on the back that is super important. I do put my initials and rock group etc on there but the spray sealer works great for that and the resin epoxy on the top and sides is not damaged by the little bit of sanding on the bottom. If it is a smaller rock I use water bottle caps to set it on and this minimizes the flat resin bottom and I can sand off the little bumps that occur.

Great to hear someone else applying resin this way Billie. That's the way I prefer to do but as yet I haven't mastered the art of doing it without the odd run here and there. For me, there's nothing to touch a resin finish, I'm using Art Resin as that's one of the few brands available here in the UK but I will look for the Amazing Cast Resin you mention in your post.

I do the same thing as Gin, I put felt with sticky backing on mine. I set mine up on med cups or those 30 ml cups you get with cough medicine (the nurse in me calls them med cups). You get a smaller area of buildup you have to deal with. I just use an exacto knife to cut off what I don’t want and then cover it with felt.

I put a little resin in my left hand and rub onto the backside. Then I put a dab on the top and smooth it all over the front. Most of the time I rub the rock all over like a bar of soap. I then place on freezer paper or on Penguin Art Supplies Arts and Crafts Drying Racks I purchased from Amazon. I tend to use the shorter posts side. I may add a little more resin to the top side. I find I have little to no shelf on the bottom. If I have a few “bumps” from excess resin, I use sandpaper to rub them down. Some people then redab the spots that are a little dull with more resin. As I give away the majority of my stones, I don’t do this - more time consuming for “free stones”!!!

I have never done both sides at one time. I always did one side, usually the back side first (IF it has a back side) so I could sand down any drips. I would then flip it over and resin the top. The flat part is just the resin that ran down because gravity made it go. Like another poster said, if the surface it touched was a flat/not shiny surface, you will have a flat look to the resin. I like mine all shiny so I make one side at a time.

I've been thinking of trying this method - doing one side, curing, then doing the other. I'm curious to know if you can see the line of demarcation between the two sides, on the edge of the rock. Can you tell at all where the two sides meet if you apply it thin enough?

I actually use shiny cheap dollar tree containers to put my rocks in so that the bottoms are shiny. Also, you can use shiny inexpensive clear shower curtain liners. You don’t need to use a lot of resin, I made the mistake of using too much creating a pool on the bottom. I use Art Resin brand and love it! I have a 40 minute working window, it does not yellow or have strong fumes and it is safe to put food on for say a wooden cheese board for example. I use this for all of my rocks. Thanks for all your wonderful tutorials Lydia!

I do that too. It leaves a nice shiny surface. The best i have found are just cheep dollar store containers. I put them on the lid side and then put the bottom on top to keep dust off. I have three cats! I do it this way as I know the rock isn’t hitting the side of the container...I did that once and it left a happy mistake. I now have a rock with a nice flat edge to it up on...anyway as long as you are aware of what ever surface the refined rock it’s on it will transfer onto the rock. I like someone’s idea of putting felt on the bottom of the rocks too!

You really need to warn people of the dangers of working with resin. I and many others have had horrible chemical reactions. There is a Facebook page "Epoxy is not my friend" full of people who have had horrible reactions, swollen eyes, red faces, itching on the skin, etc. You HAVE to not only wear gloves, you should have your skin covered and be wearing a full respirator mask with filters that filter out organic matter. Please don't use resin irresponsibly. You also must use resin in a well-ventilated room that is not used for anything else. Do not let your pets or children in teh area where you are working with resin. The gases that come off the resin while it is curing is toxic.

I tried to resin my rocks, and when I was drying them, I put them on a silicone pad with some little techs under them to hold them up off the silicone. When I was done with the resining, the rocks were still a little bit sticky so I let them sit for about three days. But when I lifted them off of the nails, it seem like there was still all these trips underneath where you can’t even read my signature or the number That I painted on the rock. I use the ANB resin, and I use gloves, and when I put it on, I try to do it like I see in the videos so I use very little and I just rub it around like it’s a bar of soap. But it still seems like the resin gets through my gloves and I can’t get anything off my hands. I’ve used alcohol Clorox wipes vinegar, but nothing seems to work. How do I smooth the back of my rocks out? I’ve bought some sanding paper blocks to see if I can smooth them out but now it looks like I will have to resident over again. Would it be better to just lay it on the silicone?

If you get silicone mats/sheets, which can be really cheap, they have a matt and a shiny side. The shiny sides are perfect for resin, which pops off when it's dry if you just flex the sheets. Or you can pick it off. Happy days.

A tip to save having to do top / front then back 2 nd - get a piece of wood about 3 inches wide and about a foot long , put some long screws in it , turn it over ( so screws are facing upwards ) put fully resin'd rock on to screws and leave until nearly set , moving once touchable to avoid over sticking , several sets of 4 screws for different sized rocks .

I have had the same disappointing results with resin.. Flat, ridged bottoms. I sanded those ridged areas down, then re-resined, placed on a smooth shiny plastic surface and got the same stubborn dull-looking ridge. I don’t like the feel of that sharp edged bottom. I like to be able to handle a rock and have it be smooth on both sides. I think I’m returning to my rustoleum, glass-finish spray :-) So much for several trials. Don’t like it.

I haven't read any comments I'm just suggesting that you wet sand possibly or hit it with a torch again. I suggest possibly putting a little less. definitely good work👍 I'm probably going to get done reading this and realize that's his post for 2014 lol. I have a little homemade stone walkway to my man cave. I'm thinking about putting some glass on them to make them look wet. give them a little accent I suppose. AKA make them pop.

Why do you resin a stone before paining? Seems you could just wash, dry, then put on your base coat.

I resin before painting when I do a mandala and the stone is pitted w/ small holes. It fills in the tiny holes and allows for a smooth surface to dot paint, I then apply a small amount of resin over the mandala.

Maybe I have an idea. You can do it in two parts. First side A and after some hours side B. But if you want to do all like in your vid, you can use a high gloss silicone mat. That works really great.

Rub less resin on the back. I also made a nail board. I rub just a little bit of resin on the back. If I have a small mark from the nail I sand off.

Once your stones are all resined and dried softly sand the bottom till you are satisfied with the feel, wipe clean and lightly re-resin the area using a little brush. Make sure not to use too much resin, and let it dry. This should do it for you. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

Is there something other than resin that can be used to “smooth out” the stones before painting??
@LydiaMay
@LydiaMay 6 жыл бұрын
I have seen people use plaster/spackling materials but I personally don't like painting over it. Have you watched my video on forming your own stones? I think that could be an alternative to fill in holes. You should be able to just sand off the excess and smooth it out. Or just completely form your own! :) I hope that helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWSrl2yLhp6Bn80

Could you not resin the bottom first and let it dry before doing the top. That would stop the flattening on the bottom.

A wooden breat with some srews onder It. Up side down. There you can put your bigger Stones on and the Resis just Drops off. I Resin in the afternoon and in the Morning you can put the Stones of. Stil you have a few spots, the resin is still soft enough to Push them flat with glups on, or Else maybe you leave then a Fingerprint and Thats Not the meaning.
