Resin art on a serving tray for beginners/start to finish

[@margiedurham650]

So so pretty

[@beccasunderman2745]

That's just gorgeous! I'd show it off at a party, or just on the table as a centerpiece. For serving food, I'd cover it carefully with cling wrap or other food safe clear plastic wrap, with as few wrinkles as possible.

[@dewharvey8498]

Having fun with Suzana Danks videos! I could watch these all day. Wait I did ! Lol

[@neeruneeru6210]

Hi Suzana I liked your tutorial very much thank you am new to your channel and this is my first tutorial watching ♥️

[@suzanadancks]

Well...welcome to my channel and thank you for joining me on this journey. Where are you from?

[@annagray6491]

Really inspiring. I have itchy fingers as I am waiting for my resin I ordered to arrive! Also you have cheered up my dark rainy day here in the south of England!

[@LittleMissVampy]

Gorgeous 😍 can you make and use full dinner sets out of resin?

[@claudetteleblanc5273]

This piece should be in a museum....just beautiful.

[@carolinehilding3844]

It turned out very very pretty

[@zacsgran1]

I think that Trey is absolutely beautiful. I wish I could do that kind of work. My work is just not up to par but I like working with resin

[@bhawna589]

It's beautiful U do varnish also after complete this???

[@annetteduguay1279]

I really enjoyed your tutorial (experiment). The colours were beautiful together, nice after seeing so many light colours. I'm anxious now to see more of your videos. Thank you from northern Alberta, Canada.

[@suzanadancks]

My pleasure and thank you for watching 🤗🤗🤗

[@bonniebrier7174]

Very nice job. Love the colors .

[@trishshailer2499]

Nice to have you back!

[@mydogmyplantsandme]

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!

[@hellogawjus8115]

Stunning. My favorite colors. I love that you recycle and are resin conscious. Beautiful work!!!

[@suzanadancks]

Definitely not. Resin gives a lovely glass sheen and varnish would ruin that.

[@GloriaRN]

I really enjoy your videos. I have learned so much from you! The platter is beautiful! Thanks for sharing

[@msmikkic9738]

This is gorgeous! I love the colors.

[@kelciawheeler986]

Suzana This is a beautiful piece and so enjoyed your video thank you for sharing.

[@lucymuriithi6747]

Beautiful colours

[@FairyArtMother]

I’m in love with those Le Rez colors!!!

[@lesamanning9951]

As a suggestion as I have never done anything but maybe you can find a cylinder to put in where the tape is to keep the resin out.....I would love to see what you were shooting for although this is beautiful and that purple is AMAZING!!!!!

[@suzanadancks]

That's a great idea, thank you🤗 and thank you for watching🤗❤

[@stephanielambert891]

Beautiful 💙 So happy to see you do a video. I know you're crazy busy with your pigments (which I plan on getting when I use up what I already have , per hubby) but I've been so missing your videos. 😀

[@Karmalightful]

Oh wonderful piece cant wait to try it love from Denmark

[@bluearkcreative]

Gorgeous!!!!! Welcome back beautiful lady

[@territuazon5381]

Possibly you could apply the electrical tape to the inner circle the same as your outer edge. That would allow you to move it around freely? Just a thought.

[@suzanadancks]

Great idea 🤗

[@AngelasMixedMediaArtist]

Beautiful thx appreciate your help with arts 🎭

[@bloodlacerose1688]

Hello, I was wondering why you didn't tape the inside hole the same way you taped the outside edge? This is absolutely beautiful. Thank-you for sharing. Have a lovely day!!

[@markeengillette4470]

I wondered the same thing...

[@mumof3325]

What are the two resins that you mix together at the beginning

[@claudiamills6994]

I missed you heaps ! Its great the pigments are going so very well ,dont over stretch yourself

[@jonaeflure]

This turned out really pretty. Maybe if you fill the center with a cardboard circle then put tape on top of the cardborad to seal the edges you wouldn't be hampered. I was surprised you didn't wait till it was dry to take off the tape. Wouldn't it have worked better if after it was dry you added small amount of resin in the center? Just curious...I love your work. ♡

[@karenholder4817]

The video and project and colors, just beautiful. But did you take the plate off the wood, how and when did you do it? I thought resins could only be removed from plastic, maybe I missed that part, but will go over it again, beautiful, thank you for sharing your art.

[@CookingGuy815]

Suzana Dancks Le' Rez Expressions very good

[@jereandco]

Absolutely stunning!! It is magical..like the ocean meets the galaxy. Pardon me for this newbie question but, how long does a piece like this take to completely dry?

[@norinemueller4588]

Can you put food on the tray. It’s so beautiful. You answered my question about the food thank you

[@suzanadancks]

Great question. You need an FDA approved resin to be able to use it as a food tray.

[@readhouse]

the cooler you use it has to be spicily or you can use any cooler

[@simonac688.]

Timba ....got to be an Aussie ❤️

[@ellenmac5406]

Beautiful, Suzana!!

[@usherl250]

I love it, so pretty

[@donkeysauce3]

I keep getting bubbles, keep torching it but they keep coming back and it end up drying out with them. Any tips on how to fix that?

[@desireeglowa86]

This is so beautiful! Do you know can I put the pigment in acrylic white?

[@Dare2DreamBig]

Does that platter get hard and how easy is it to break?

[@margaretperry2015]

Lovely! Thank you for the video. Is it ok to use acrylic ink in resin?

[@alejandraferrari4994]

Lovely piece! thanks for sharing. I have a question...If you make a serving dish, can you put meal over it or it is dangerous for health? Sorry for my english but I think you understand, aren't you? thanks in advance!

[@brigidlaffey7343]

Hello Suzana - I haven’t seen your video yet but am sad you painted such a beautiful wooden platter. How about a plastic or metal tray instead 😌💞 Now, to watch your vid. : ) The end result looks stunning from the lesser page❣️

[@markeengillette4470]

beauty is in the eye of the beholder... didn't look beautiful to me... looked old and dated and in need of a facelift. Most people would love to have something like this to serve snacks with... it's gorgeous.

[@brigidlaffey7343]

Markeen Gillette yes, i said it was a stunning result❣️ 😊💗

[@mandicoleman7433]

Ooo that's gorgeous 😍😍😍

[@mazenlababidi4925]

Great Job , Thanks

[@gottasayit9044]

Beautiful!

[@snowonn]

Great!!!!!!!!! I have a question : can I use Epoxy Resin on the plastic tray?

[@suzanadancks]

Great question! You sure can. Resin is a plastic so it will stick well. Maybe just scratch or roughly sand the surface before pouring, just in case. It's better to be safe than sorry, right?

[@snowonn]

Thank you very much for your response!!!! @@suzanadancks

[@Shines-On]

Very lovely.

[@tharwajawad2124]

Hi Suzana , how long you waited to remove the outer masking tape?

[@suzanadancks]

That depends on your resin and how long it takes for it to set . I usually wait a couple of hrs as my resin takes 12 hrs to set up

[@tharwajawad2124]

@@suzanadancks so if it is sticky is it the right time? By the way i really appreciate your kind reply 😊

[@kboake63]

Love it !!

[@BB-nb2mu]

Thanks for your tutorial! in this video you use wood as a base, could I use acrylics with resin on glass? Kisses

[@brigidlaffey7343]

...hmm that was meant to read “Leader” page (last comment) No need to apologize for your process - that’s Art, after all: ): ). It’s all a discovery process. End result a Stunner❣️ Initially it looked like a giant Pansy face - love them - Then after 1st addition of white, it morphed into an Anemone - love those too....final result rather Ethereal. Delightful❣️ Enjoy your breads ‘n spreads 😊

[@carolinehilding3844]

I'm learning on how to, want to know why you didnt put a layer of resin down first... I've seen some people do.. just curious

[@charojose2208]

The final project shown looks less dark than the one gotten before putting it aside... It took too much time, but thanks for sharing.

[@janmcconnell2240]

I think it’s gorgeous - I want to find some at decent price so I can do some too

[@carolinehilding3844]

What resins do you use? For part A and B ? Is part A 2 parts and B 1 part??

[@leahpeci]

Loved this!! Thanks so much! What is the FDA approved resin that you used?

[@pattialbertson565]

I tried this on wood using blue but when poured the color transformed to green... Why???

[@craftsandbargains]

Beautiful! TFS!

[@dnshow6071]

Hi Suzanna great video, very inspired Is it safe to use resin as a dishes plate?

[@suzanadancks]

Thank you for your comment. You need to use a food safe resin for that. The supplier will state that on their product. Good luck and all the best with your projects.

[@leeannedowdell2110]

Love this.

[@sallyragusa1172]

Hi Suzana, I live in Phoenix, Arizona and it get extremely warm here. Often temperatures can reach 115 to 120 degrees. If I would do a resin pour on an outdoor table, do you think the resin would ever melt off once it is dried. Curious if you know how it wears outdoors. Thank you!

[@elviraselischi9410]

Sally Ragusa Hello Sally! I’m also very curious about Suzana’s answer... After me ..., once dry, the resin doesn’t melt so easy (yes, maybe ... if you put it on the fire - I didn’t try!) ... you should give it a try :) ... Other problem with the resin is how it reacts at the sun ... (even if there are, now, some marks like ArtResin, Mastercast 121...) ... other problem can be the reaction of the wood in time (you should prime even the back side of the table to avoid curving) ... and ... to maintain the beauty of pigments ... you should put another layer of resin once dry :) !!! - that can be also a positive point because in time you can repeat this operation if you have same scratches on the table ... :) ... sorry for my English, i’m not a native :)

[@kaleidoscope8743]

Timber? Would you call it a wooden, butcher-block style serving tray?

[@BWWGL9]

Suzana, is that White Acrylic Paint ?

[@barbaramontgomery7863]

Hello Suzana! Do you know if this resin is food grade? I wondered that since we'd be eating off of it. Thank you!

[@BWWGL9]

ONLY ProMarine Table Top Epoxy is FDA Approved !

[@BWWGL9]

Debbie Russell .... yes you would. Wipe it clean, I use a little 91% Alcohol ... just to make sure it clean. Pro Marine Table/Bar Top Epoxy is FDA Approved.... been using it for years.

[@Yoseibellabink]

Any epoxy resin made for table tops and bars is compliant, not approved

[@dianahexter3384]

Love the video and the idea, where do you buy the FDA approved resin

[@WandaMartingaga]

Diana Hexter Amazon has the supplies. You might check there. Have you tried this yet? She has a video on a glass top little patio table that I want to try.

[@suzanadancks]

Diana Hexter The brand is Amazing Crystal Casting. I got mine from Aldax ( Australia), but there are other brands. Just google FDA approved resin.

[@suzanadancks]

Kinder Garfield Thank you Kinder😘

[@judyhobday5642]

beautiful

[@blustar30]

Hi Suzana...how long did you wait before you took the side tape off? Love the colors 😊

[@sherrysaulnier3940]

I was wondering the same thing?

[@sherrysaulnier3940]

Love these colors, just gorgeous!

[@suzanadancks]

blustar30 I took it off in the next hour while it was still tacky. This allows the resin to relax back down into a smooth finish without the sharp edge.

[@josephsugar2061]

nice

[@SharonLindleyVividDaysArt]

Beautiful

[@rosaliejacques1349]

Hi Suzana Love this piece. I have just bought my resin and now I need colours. Do you ship to Canada. Are the shipping costs high for this. How does the exchange rate work for our Canadian dollar. I can't seem to find any shops for resin colours in Canada. Are you aware of any. Thank you for your time and for sharing this great video. Cheers Rosalie

[@krystalcarey]

Don't you love it when the channel "likes" your comment that has a million questions but doesn't answer a single question? 🤣

[@karenpeach4528]

you didnt say what those resins were, 2/3 to 1/3 ?

[@abeeresmat1021]

Can I use a hair dryer instead of the heater?

[@cameliacamelia9612]

[@JojosCraftyLove]

Hi Suzana, I've been watching your videos for the past few days. I am just wondering what resin is food safe after it has fully cured, please? I know ArtResin advertised that their resin is food safe when it is fully cured. What other resin brand is also food safe if you don't mind me asking, please? Obviously it will have to be handwashed with soap and warm water only when used for food. I am currently using an Australian brand resin company called Barnes, resin type called Clariti. Have asked whether they are food safe after fully cured but no reply as yet. Thank you for your guidance and advice! :)

[@ellenmac5406]

Jojo's Crafty Love there is no resin that is food safe. Some resin is safe for incidental contact with food, but should not be considered safe for general use.

[@JojosCraftyLove]

Ellen Mac Thank you for clearing that up! 😊

[@jonaeflure]

You can use a counter top epoxy.

[@JojosCraftyLove]

Thank you! :)

[@scruffsbycartoonfish2301]

Why use electrical tape?

[@kd8423]

Would have been nice to see HOW you finished it... was it stuck to the wood, did it release easily, HOW did you get the "curv"... allot to listen to with No real info given. Nice peice.

[@seeyourself6704]

"LOVE" 🎆♥🎇

[@dhd8850]

This is gorgeous but the vid sooooo long winded and you should have left it ages ago instead of mucking about with it keep blowing, adding colours etc. A beautiful result none the less!

[@suzanadancks]

Oh dear, I know mate. My problem is leaving things alone...lol. In my defense, this is an old video and I've improved on things but I still have to pull myself up when I start fiddling...hahaha. Thanks for watching🤗🤗🤗

[@dhd8850]

Thank you for not taking offence, i didnt mean any lol. I kinda know the feeling of keeping on at things-have mucked up many a project. Keep crafting 💖

[@tinamccann8344]

Sometimes it's difficult to hear what you're saying, as the end of some of your words are mumbled.

[@judithheineman4302]

If we're supposed to hear what you're saying, you'll have to speak up. It sounds like you'ye talking to yourself.
