Helpful video! I use small medicine dose cups to pour my small-batch of resin into. They have various measurements on them to keep me accurate. I also use a silicone stirring stick which I just wipe off on my glove before my 1st stone. Any left over resin just peels off. For dust free(cat hair free in my house) drying, try a cake/baking pan with a lid. This keeps the dust out and you can move the rocks around easily. I use a sheet pan with a lid for tile magnets I paint.

Good morning Obie Wan 😅 GREAT VIDEO! I have learned from a handful of KZbin artists that using a wooden stir stick causes bubbles in the resin. They say always use a plastic stir stick. Well, if I ever get a place in my cluttered home to resin my rocks, I’ll try both and let you know.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you ♥️ I’ve tried them both and even a silicone one.. bubbles come from stirring but it’s perfectly fine because they pop so easy. I picked wood to cut plastic usage but… I’ve used the same stick for like 2 years now so I think a plastic one would be reusable too. If you find it works better let me know ♥️ you rock Kat!!

[@darlenemikkola5239]

Excellent video and FANTASTIC tips!! The petroleum jelly tip…..WOW!! A tip I picked up from a video is to use a clear glass or plastic measuring cup to pour your resin in when using larger amounts. So if u need 1/2 cup resin, you would pour 1/4 cup of resin into the measuring cup, then add the hardener to the 1/2 cup mark and stir. This eliminates leaving behind any resin or hardener when scraping out two separate containers. Also rubbing alcohol cleans up the measuring cup and any tools you use so no sticky residue left behind. Another tip for eliminating a lot of bubbles is to use a “hot water bath” when mixing for the 3 minutes. The cup I mix resin in is smaller than a plastic solo cup, so I add hot tap water to a solo cup hold my cup with resin in it just far enough into the solo cup to have the resin in the water. I don’t want to take any chances of splashing water into my resin, so I only use the minimum hot water needed. To be clear, I have only done this with Resin Rockers 1:1 resin and it will speed up the curing time some which means it may shorten the time you have to spread your resin on your pieces, but I have never had it shorten my time enough to hinder my process. I resin wood cut outs and charger plates and have taken up to 45 minutes of spreading the resin without any issues.

[@JaDeLRocks]

All true!! I’ve tried those things too. You’d have laughed at me warming the resin. It began to harden and I was like uhhhhh what the?? I hold my paper cup in my hand and my hand seems to warm it enough… but it’s all a lot of work to reduce bubbles you’re just gonna torch anyhow. I love these tips. See? We are going to have it all right here in this video and comments. Thank you ♥️

[@dawsie]

Another option is place the resin into a vacuum chamber and using a machine that you can vacuum food for those plastic bags for the freezer, it will vacuum out the bubbles, just don’t use the one for your food. As they are half the price than the ones being sold for doing resin only. I had two machines one I bought for Mom as well as my own one. When I moved back home to help Dad to look after Mom before her passing we ended up with two of most house hold items. So when I watched all the unboxing of the resin vacuum chambers I remember I now have two machines. I also have a vacuum chamber which was for using with dry goods but it got to be a hassle having to vacuum it every time I opened it to grab a handful of the contents. I now use it to vacuum the resin to remove the bubbles.

[@JaDeLRocks]

@dawsie wow… I bet that would work. And it could double as a dust free drying space? Interesting idea 💡

[@Razzieblue]

I think you just took my hesitation away to try resin! 😆 Wonderful tips and tricks. Thank you for sharing them with us! 💚

[@JaDeLRocks]

You are so welcome! I hope it helps. I was terrified myself because there’s some real stories out there. I never found one about this brand so I went for it. I’m just super careful and so far so good.

[@SusanNelsonCreations]

Great video as always! ❤ My one tip that I use is mixing my resin over a hot water bath. (Just a plastic container with hot water) the heat scares away any bubbles. Less to deal with once applied. :) I still use a torch for the small ones we can’t see.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Great tip! Thank you ♥️ I must admit off camera I hold the paper cup to my leg and in my left hand just for heat 🤣😂 it seems to help. Y’all are so smart with the water.

[@geminirose55]

I have used many brands of resin, and they all have their uses, but I can confirm that "Art Resin" is the best for using on rocks. Now, I live up North in Canada and we get hot sun in the summer but I don't think the rays are as strong as in Arkanses, so I would say that location can also playing into using it for outside as well, My rocks have held up pretty good in the flower beds, but I have also packed them up for winter sometimes when I have had the time, and they are still pretty glossy... I definitely would not recommend using Mod Podge alone for outside rocks , that will not hold up to the elements at all... I think this video is the best for explain and lots of great tips, I am going to try the toothpick method as I usually use a silicone mat to set my rocks on but it gets all grit and needs a good cleaning after awhile... (not fun), but this Vaseline trick is ingenious, can't wait to try it out, total game changer ...thank you JaDel, this video is very informative, and I think beginners will appreciate it immensely...

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thanks for the tips Sandra. It’s nice to hear how it works in different parts of the world for sure. I hope this works out for you. I haven’t fixed a rock yet thanks to that petroleum jelly idea from Linda C. Brilliant ♥️

[@scrappky]

Thank you for posting this! The information is so helpful. I have always struggled with the damage left behind on the backs of the rocks. I saw where someone used the "Scat Cat" garden mats that have little plastic security spikes (they do not actually hurt the animal) and these have worked better than anything I have tried before. But I do love the vaseline trick! Thanks for sharing!

[@JaDeLRocks]

I wondered if the Vaseline will work on those mats too. I’m almost positive it will but I haven’t tried so I didn’t mention. If you try it will you let us know?

[@DanuteP]

I love scat mats. They are great to used with spray paint for a primer layer. It keeps an air layer underneath so some of the over-spray and get under the edges.

[@JaDeLRocks]

They look pretty cool.

[@paulinechoate5974]

Gooood morning! I have minimal experience with resin because my projects typically don't need it. I AM, however, staring at a molded stone I'm putting off doing. :-) I have only ever used Art Resin and typically poured it when I did use it. Your tips will come in very handy when I DO get to that stone. I will say, when I used it before, I cleaned up my spoons, cups, and me with hand sanitizer. They cleaned up easily to be used another day. Our FL humidity does pose a challenge in paint AND resin drying. But that heat sure can bend a record album into a pretty banana bowl. 😂 Have a great day!

[@JaDeLRocks]

I can’t wait to see how you do with the stone. The hand sanitizer does work well because of the alcohol content. Clorox wipes or Lysol wipes work great too. I began using Napkins or paper towels when there was a shortage of disinfectants.. it worked well enough that I kept it in use because it’s cheaper and less plastic. I use those wet wipes I showed on my skin if I whoops. You know your stuff lady! Thank you ♥️ this is definitely a tip that works and is useful 😀

[@paulinechoate5974]

Another person I follows make sure that they cover their freshly resined pieces so that no lint gets on them while drying. Also they actually let the resin warm up in hot water for 10 minutes and then after mixing they let it sit for 10 minutes to get rid of the bubbles in the mixture. Whatever works, I guess. Your rocks are gorgeous!!

[@JaDeLRocks]

Awesome tips!!! I need to cover mine for sure. It’s comical here now after the vacuum incident. I’m like… nobody goes in or out in the first 24 hours. It sits atop some drawers and one time I bent over to get access to bottom drawer and my ponytail landed right in a freshly resined rock. My hair got 6 inches shorter that day… facepalm

[@jamn4God]

@@JaDeLRocks oh no!!! 😬 Oops.

[@jamn4God]

@@JaDeLRocks this was the full instructions the other artist gave me. Her resin looked like glass! Warm the two bottles in Hot tap water for 10 minutes, measure properly, stir for 3 full minutes, let sit for 10 minutes. Dust off all the pieces with an eye glass cloth then pour on and smooth with a gloved finger, then torch. Then use a toothpick if there are any pieces of lint. Then we cover with a clean lint free cover. Check in 10 minutes to make sure there are no bubbles or any lint that has found it’s way to the piece, if so pick it out with the toothpick, torch again if needed and cover.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Sounds like solid advice. I might be too lazy or rushed to add all those steps for the same results. Im usually going in a thousand directions. However, I should incorporate some sort of dust free cover like that. Thank you ♥️ this might give others ideas 💡 you rock 💪🏻

[@janinelennon2337]

@@JaDeLRocks the wood is porous and causes the air to get in the resin.

awesome video Jadel, your very talented at editing and producing quality tutorials as well as a fantastic artist.... is there any thing you cant do???? lol just kidding . I am just jelly hahaha I dont use resin, yes because im chicken. But I find I love using ultra gloss liquitex varnish on mine. I have never had an issue with leaving my rocks outside. But of course on the west coast of Canada, we do not have extreme heat and extreme cold most of the time it just rains lol Great video as always ❤

[@MetalSlugzMaster]

Great tips! Subscribed. I paint intricate Celtic interlace on beach stones and have used a tripod method with needles resined into bottle caps, then poked through layered cardboard. While not as beautiful a coat as resin, I have had great luck with Liquitex brush on lacquer to hold up against outdoor conditions. The brand of resin I use I haven't tested for outdoors.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Great tips!! Thank you ♥️ I’ve used that Liquitex varnish too but haven’t tested it myself. Miranda Pitrone suggests that for outdoor rocks.

You're welcome 😊 But I feel like I should really Thank you ♥️

[@tarapitchford2635]

Re: splotches in resin finish. Another reason is if you are using any kind of spray paint, like a finish. The gasses can release, causing splotches if not fully cured and dry. I'm not sure if other paints can cause this.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Awesome to know… Thank you ♥️

[@krishosler390]

Thanks Jadel, I do have this kind of resin, but usually I use the UV kind. Usually takes about 20 minutes in the sun..Also the first time I ever used the 2 part was on my expresso flower and it did get blotchy. Not sure why, I probably mixed it wrong. 😅

[@JaDeLRocks]

It never even crossed my mind that uv would cure in sun. LOL. I’ve never used it but I’m about to. What brand do you use?

[@JaDeLRocks]

That espresso flower got us both eh? Lol

[@rainedazeable]

Hi! I have used many resins over the years, but I use Resin Rockers UV for my painted rocks. They also have a FB group that can be very helpful!

[@JaDeLRocks]

Thank you ♥️ I’m writing that one down. I may try uv this year and I have a short list going on.

[@Jendollla]

So many tips. What do you recommend for outdoor rocks?

[@JaDeLRocks]

I don’t have a trick other than doing upkeep. Maybe reapplying. I believe Miranda Pitrone has a video on Liquitex Varnish that she uses. If it’s the video I watched years ago I think she uses it outdoors for 10+ years…. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jneVlJVugrl-oZIsi=EZP98eJTQU3mA505

[@Jendollla]

@JaDeLRocks I wonder if you could use that over the resin? The epoxy resin they use on boats has to be protected by a uv protection varnish also. Would be worth a try on a test piece.

[@JaDeLRocks]

@Jendolll2012 I’ve only heard that it does yellow and crack but really I think everyone has a negative effect with everything. I think my negative reaction to outdoors with art resin may be just significant to my location. Someone up north may put this stuff out for years and it be fine. I honestly can’t think of a thing that will battle this southern heat and humidity without upkeep. I have a stone on my daddy’s grave that I resin yearly and it’s still perfect. So who’s to say many coats isn’t the trick. There are just many variables to this whole art to explore. I think that’s why I love it. If you try the boat resin I’d love to hear how it goes. Good luck.. 🤞🏻

[@kaybryant7987]

If you use an outdoor paint.

[@JaDeLRocks]

I think these paints are indoor/outdoor. I’ll double check.

[@beckykukoski8678]

Which Sealer would you reccomend for outside direct sunlight?

[@JaDeLRocks]

I haven’t found anything to handle the heat and humidity here where I live. Other climates use liquitex varnish.

[@erikasturquoisefeather4721]

Recently had a customer complain about some of the rocks i used resin on. Shes bringing them back. If it looks like the resin might be at fault i will look for one thats better outside. If you hear of one, i hope to spot your tip another time.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Yah, I never recommend any resin outdoors. I’ll cross my fingers for ya.

[@DeborahOlander]

Just s heads up but the pink filters on your face mask do NOT protect from fumes (the dangerous part of reain). You need VOC filters. The pink ones are for particulates like glitter or mica.

[@JaDeLRocks]

Nice to know. I wonder why it says for epoxy resin. Sigh.. you just can’t trust anything can you. Thanks for telling me.

[@utubeellen]

So have you used art resin on other surfaces? Like wood, canvas, or acrylic, discs, or plastic Christmas globes? If so, I’d appreciate any tips you have for spreading the resin on the surfaces, especially the flat ones because I know some people use foam brushes, or do it different ways. I have used Krylon triple thick spray on rocks for outdoors and they hold up well in upstate ny year round. Just don’t have a safe way to spray during winter month’s.

[@JaDeLRocks]

I used this same technique on my Christmas ornaments. I just used a small dowel in the styrofoam and put the opening of the ornament on it. I did wooden key chains which I hung to dry. I did a small wooden sign that was flat the exact same as the rocks. It was fine but not as pretty as the ones I see on art resin’s website. The have a KZbin channel too. You can look up how to resin almost anything there and they give great advice and easy videos. They just didn’t have a rock one… at least not art stones like mine. So I made one. Good luck.. 🤞🏻

[@dawsie]

I would love to use the Vaseline trick, but I have an allergy to it and just don’t want to risk it around me. As resin self levels I can use a paintbrush and paint it on, now being resin it would ruin any normal paintbrush so I bought a silicon pastry brush and once the resin dries it just peels off the brush and your left with a piece of holy resin and a very clean brush. Once the backs are cured then just turn over the rocks and paint the fronts. Never do it the other way as you really need at least 7 days for resin to be totally cured so you will run the risk of leaving dimples in the resin.

[@JaDeLRocks]

I’m so sorry.. allergies can stink for sure. I’m so happy you found something that works for you. It goes to show where there’s a will there’s a way. 💪🏻
