Hi Kriss - I did a couple of tiles and let them dry for a month or better. I used Liquitex Gloss Varnish and shortly after I applied the varnish the paint started to lift. I havent used resin yet, but do these HAVE to be resined.
Laurie Kerestes to be heat safe they would need to be. If you don’t, then chances are your hot beverage cups will stick. If they are just an art piece you could certainly varnish.
I cant find glazed tiles and bought alot of unglazed ones. And Im very disappointed at the result on unglazed. Please help me what to do. I tried the alcohol and lightening it up method as well.
Beautiful coasters Kriss. Have you ever sprayed the silicone over after pouring, for the cells? Oh, and if you use your heat gun on the resin nipples, it should be easier to release.
That last one was so pretty
Thank you!
Beautiful ❤️ Love the colors!
Thanks so much Debra! 💜
Informative! Turned out pretty! 🌹
Penny Loves Art thank you!
Magnifique, j'adore la couleur !!! Merci pour le partage :-)
Merci d’avoir regarde’ Claudine 💜
I'm dying to try this! Do you have a video with applying the resin?
melclay22 yes here’s the link th-cam.com/video/WnGRStEVjDs/w-d-xo.html 🙂
Good morning have you used a spray sealer? The paint looks thick. Do you work on tumble stone tiles? Very pretty. Thanks Terri
No, I use resin to seal them, that way it’s heat safe for cups

I’m sorry you weren’t able to find glazed. I imagine you would need to seal them with a primer so your paint isn’t soaking in to the tile.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
How thin does the paint need to be? Do you just add water to thin it?
Melinda Fraser there is a link in the description to another video that may be helpful 🙂
How many ounces of paint do you use for the trivets?
I generally use an ounce for each
I poured on a shelf I had and I hope it looks good when it dries. I tried to add the picture but it won't let me
Whitney Vanderburg hopefully it went well!
Can you uses regular acrylic paint
Dara Montgomery yes 🙂
Does your paint have floetrol in it?
Sylvia Devone yes, here’s the link to my pouring medium recipe th-cam.com/video/nONQQfVrsAc/w-d-xo.html

Melissa Phillis I haven’t tried spraying it in top🤔 will have to try that! Good tip on applying heat to release the resin Melissa!
@@liquidartebykriss550 just passing on what I've seen on other people's videos 😁
But what would cause the paint to lift with 1thin coat of varnish tho?
Laurie Kerestes did you clean the tiles before pouring? How long did you let the paint cure before varnishing?
What kind of paint you use
I use acrylic paints
@@liquidartebykriss550 any kind do you put anything in the paint
@@marylaskey8147 here’s a video on how I mix my paints 🙂 th-cam.com/video/hlXvCP0n_j8/w-d-xo.html
When I resin my coasters I nearly always get the 'orange peel' effect. What causes this please
It could be due to not cleaning the surface or perhaps your resin isn’t mixed completely
Beautiful
Gloria Cleek thank you!

Probably floetrol (or other pouring medium) & some water.
Thin, like honey that pours off a spoon.
I don’t usually thin with water Melinda, my pouring medium is usually all I need for the right consistency.
Alexandra B yep, Floetrol in my pouring medium 😉
