I want to make a geode mirror but wannt to do some calligraphy in the center of the mirror.... is it ok to pour risen all over the mirror

[@tasniataskin9418]

It’s so beautiful .Have you used 2:1 resin or 3:1 resin?

[@t3sslark]

I haven’t yet but I have some deep pour resin that’s 2:1 that I want to try soon. Have you tried it? Any thoughts?

[@yasamanhabib6739]

hello I have a question I want to apply epoxy resin on the big mirror. Is it possible that the epoxy resin will separate from the mirror after a while? Does it need to be primed before starting work on the mirror surface?

[@joyful]

thanks for sharing this; the mirror was lovely 💚. i'm a new resin artist and still experimenting. how did you get the resin to not sink through the frame and leak out the back? i recently tried a picture frame and mirror and both leaked terribly. though, i did end up with a nice result - just a lot of wasted resin and details moved around. i've tried hot glue to seal the frame and painting tape at the back, and neither technique prevented leaks.

[@t3sslark]

Hey! Thank you for the compliment. I’m sorry to hear about your pieces but glad you liked the overall result. If you’re pouring resin on something that can be sanded down like a wood panel I’d suggest doing that if you get leaks. Unfortunately sometimes the pattern does change a bit and shift around but I think that’s just part of working with this medium. I’d suggest pouring less resin to start so there is less waste and keep taping / gluing your pieces. I wish I had more suggestions but just keep playing around

[@ravinaraval8425]

Thank you so much for the tutorial.. ❤ May I use 2:1 or 3:1 epoxy resin for mirror art?

[@t3sslark]

Thank you for the comment 🥰 I’ve only used one type of resin for these types of projects but you could certainly experiment!

[@ravinaraval8425]

@@t3sslark ohh thank you so much for reply Actually I got order for Resin art on Mirror.. I had checked on KZbin short where they had shown, they used UV resin and it turned out beautiful as well.. Have you ever tried UV resin on mirror?

[@t3sslark]

@@ravinaraval8425 not on a mirror but that could be nice as it cures so quickly the turn around time would be much faster. You’d need to make sure you have a UV light large enough for your project tho!

[@ravinaraval8425]

@@t3sslark yess.. you are right.. proper equipments makes process smoother and fast also hassle free

[@meme2255]

Blue because I think you didn't shake the paint & you got the blue pigment that makes up the green?

[@t3sslark]

It’s possible!! I’ll make sure to shake it up really well before I use it next time.

[@knikolai71]

My experience with the green Pinata inks is that they almost always turn a blue or teal color. Your are almost better mixing blue and yellow together or using a different brand of alcohol ink for the green shades.

[@t3sslark]

That’s so strange! But thank you for validating me! I felt like I was going crazy 😅

[@cremonster]

I have a question, I want to try taking a mirror, breaking it into large pieces, then filling in the cracked spaces with resin sort of like those tables that are wood/resin filled. Do you think that would be possible to do?

[@t3sslark]

Hey! So I’ve been thinking about this question a lot (I love the idea) and unfortunately I think the simple answer is: it would be extremely hard to do. You’d have to make sure the mirror pieces are perfectly level and then just pour the resin into the cracks / empty space. The problem would be that if you have any spill over you can’t really wipe it down or the mirror won’t be reflective. One of the reasons why that sort of thing works with wooden tables is bc the surface can be sanded down after the resin cures and then top coated again so you see all that lovely wood grain but you can’t sand a mirror. I think if I were to try to do that project I’d keep the mirror whole and then just pour thin lines of resin over the surface to give it a similar aesthetic if that makes sense? But look around for more tutorials here on KZbin! Someone else may have a better idea for you. 💘

[@kidshomework8330]

This is beautiful! How long do you have to wait before putting the clear resin coat the the end?

[@t3sslark]

Thank you very much! I needed to wait about 24 hours after each layer to make sure it was fully cured before moving on 🥰 so about a day for the first layer, a day for the second, after that dried I added my paint pen and then finally after that I did the clear top coat

[@kidshomework8330]

@@t3sslark thank you so much for answering my question so promptly. I appreciate it a lot.

[@kidshomework8330]

Do you think after 24 hours we can add some laser cut metallic sheet letters or something like that or can we add it right away? Just wondering if resin is thin enough that it won’t go over it, muffling the edges.

[@t3sslark]

@@kidshomework8330 that I’m not positive about. I’d recommend experimenting on something small. You may be able to place the letters in the wet resin to get a good seal but it also may sort of ooze over the edges. You may want to wait, add the letters, and then top coat. I’d play around a bit

I know this is a year old tape but I have had the same experience and what I came up with was it was labeled wrong. Because I have used that color and had no problems with it but one bottle and the only thing I could come up with was that it was labeled wrong

[@t3sslark]

Thank you for taking the time to comment! I still have this same bottle and am sort of hesitant to buy a different one but maybe I should 🤔 I’ve been wanting a nice deep rainforest green for a while now.

[@KatieSanvick]

alcohol inks often color shift in resin, it's pretty unpredictable which colors will color shift and most alcohol inks are not lightfast meaning they will fade super quick when exposed to UV.. because of that i really wouldnt use alcohol inks in resin. your piece looks gorgeous though!

So about the blue alcohol dye … My hypothesis … Whoever the manufacturer is for the dye I think you said Piñata…either someone or whatever robot in charge at their warehouse put blue in your forest green bottle…
