How to use Elmers school glue to prevent resin drips on your resin top coats / resin drip trick

[@geminidragon33]

I am sooo glad I found this video! I have a set of coasters I need to finish as a raffle prize, and while the molds are still shiny, they came with imperfections that'll show on the top of each coaster. While I'm going to put cork on the bottom of each coaster, I don't want to aggravate myself with having to sand off drips when putting a thin coat of resin on the tops. I also don't want domed tops, I want 'em as flat as possible so drinks don't slip off. All of this was to say thank you for this awesomely helpful video! 😄❤️

[@naptimecreations]

Definitely try this technique with them. It will be perfect for that. It's way easier than doming. The hardest part is waiting for the glue to try 😁 If you have a hard time peeling the glue off the back add a little heat from your heat gun and it will peel right off. Sometimes it's hard to get a starting point for peeling off the glue.

What a cool little hack! Those coasters are just magical and so feminine...gorgeous!

Hey Trish please tell me how not to let these colors go bad from uv sunlight (PLEASE) I'm running out of boxes to keep no one wants a sun catcher that can't be in the sun

[@naptimecreations]

@@lisabee2195 it depends on the inks you use. What brand of ink are you using? I know pinata inks hold their color really well over time.

I wonder if you can give it a quick squirt of mold release on the back and let that dry, then add your glue? Then that way maybe you’re not on a time frame to take the glue off. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@naptimecreations]

That's a good idea, ill have to try it out. Thanks for the idea and thanks for watching

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

@@naptimecreations Absolutely! Love your videos! 😊

[@lauriekerestes7840]

what a great tip! I am soooo using this. As a sun catcher can these put outside and how does the resin fair in the heat outside if you have.

[@naptimecreations]

Thank you and thanks for watching 🤗 you can keep them outside. The ksresin liquid stone has a heat rating of 500(F) it doesn't get super hot here. But I'm sure they would be fine in hotter places too. If not, they're pretty sitting indoors inside a window too 🤗💗

[@aundriachaboya6583]

I tried this on my coaster and it worked so well! I do have a question if you don’t mind. Can you use this technique on a a holographic piece?

[@naptimecreations]

Awesome, im so glad you tried it out. It will not work on holographic pieces. You can't pour clear over holographic creations. It will make the holographic disappear completely.

[@FelixdaKhat]

Very useful!! Can you put glue on back of canvas? Hmmm

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks for watching, I think the glue might bond to the canvas. Liquid latex works on canvas. It doesn't bond to the canvas. You apply it same as I did in this video.

[@FelixdaKhat]

@@naptimecreations oh, of course! Makes sense. Sure works great for resin- thanks for the tips 😘

[@stephaniespivey8951]

Hi! Thank you for the hack. I’m putting resin on charcuterie boards. I probably couldn’t use this hack straight onto the board wooden board, right. I’ve used painters tape and it can be a beast getting the painters tape off. Any suggestions?

[@naptimecreations]

Hi- thanks for watching. I'm so glad this was helpful. Liquid latex works on wood. Apply it and use it just like I did in this video. You can get the liquid latex off amazon. It works well.

[@Kimmy58]

Hi Tish! Thanks for that great tip! Just wanted to know whether you have tried the PVA glue on any other product you want to resin....like wood? Does it work on wood as a backing for resin drips? Thanks for any response you give. 🤗

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks for watching 🤗 I haven't tried the glue on wood yet. I know for sure liquid latex works on wood. It applies just like the glue and removes just like the glue as well.

I have clear glue (Elmer's) - will this work the same as white Elmer's glue??

[@sheilasunsdahl2867]

Thank you for this trick:) make I ask why you would need a top coat of resin if you are using a mold? I’m new to making coasters but doesn’t your resin and glitter get sealed up with the epoxy?

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks for watching, I give everything a top coat of clear before I list it for sale in my etsy shop. The top coat gives the piece extra shine, depth and protects the piece. Also over time your shiny coaster molds will lose their shine with continued use. All my molds that I make these flower coasters with have lost their shine. The molds have a matte finish now due to continued use and anything I make in that mold has a matte finish now. So I top coat it with clear. That makes the shine comes back. Hope that made sense 🤗

For the glittered one did you add the glitter to a topcoat?

[@naptimecreations]

@@sheilasunsdahl2867 no, I added a glitter backing layer to only the back of the coaster.

Can we use Fevicol instead of Elmer's school glue? 😅

No

[@glchild251]

I'm new to epoxy can I use any brand of liquid latex?

[@naptimecreations]

Hi, yes you can use any brand. The Elmer's school glue works great too and it's cheaper.

[@glchild251]

@@naptimecreations I'm going to try that as well. Thankyou so much

[@naptimecreations]

@@glchild251 no problem 😊 the liquid latex dries faster than the glue. Glue takes about 24 hours to dry. Liquid latex is dry in about 4-6 hours

[@kathyfranken4256]

What works really well for moving the glue is the back of a plastic spoon.

[@naptimecreations]

Thanks for watching, that's a great idea. I'll have to try that next time 😁💟🤗
