How To Resin A Tray
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- Serving trays come in many different shapes and sizes but the best ones are ones that you make by hand! And it's so rewarding to customize them to suit your style and flare. Whether you’re working with metal, wood or another substrate, ArtResin provides endless possibilities when designing your very own serving tray.
Mixed media artist and TH-cam influencer Dan Rodo has been working with resin, creating anything from resin apples to vintage cameras. Recently he stopped by the ArtResin HQ to experiment and guide us step-by-step in creating 2 customized metal trays.
Here's what you'll need:
• ArtResin epoxy resin - www.artresin.c...
metal trays
• ResinTint liquid colorants - www.artresin.c...
• sprinkles
• silicone star tray
• glue gun and glue sticks
• Tuck Tape
• foam core
• a marker
• scissors and/or X-acto knife
• a spreader to blend your tinted resin - www.artresin.c...
• nitrile gloves
• plastic mixing bucket
• small plastic cups and stir sticks, enough for each color of tint
• a plastic drop sheet to line your work surface
• an Artist's Torch - www.artresin.c...
• a dust cover large enough to cover your piece

I love your energy!! You make the learning fun which is a win for me 😊
the colour editing... I love it. Dan, you're great! I was doing something else while watching this... I'm not any longer. You 100% have my attention.
thanks mate , now I've got a TON of ideas from clocks to trays to wall hangings etc etc
love your energy!!!
This guy needs a art resin series on here!
nice job Dan!! you were so fun to watch. And, this video was very informative.... thank you!!
Funny guy... and fun to watch! Great ideas for the trays. 😎
I love this guy!! Keep making vids you’re so funny!!
Great ideas, will definitely try out the silicone star one. Thanks
I've watched Dan's work for a while. Love his resin art. I live in the UK and I can get the resin but not the tints. So trying to work out an alternative.
They are so beautiful 🙏❤️
Good evening love the Good avenue lol
I lost the Instagram video I first watched so I’ve been searching for this for AGES. 😂
What great ideas!! I will definitely put these to use! Thank you!!
Great ideas, thanks!
Great demo! Funny and I learned a lot! DJR needs to make some more videos for sure. The 'live, laugh, love' thing cracked me up!
he actually has his own channel called TheDanocracy ! :)
DAAAANNNN!!!!!
Very beautiful love thanks for sharing :)
Looks great! I think I would do it with a contrasting color, or maybe glitter!

ArtResin Guy: "If that was clear that'd be a concern, but we're putting sprinkles and resin in here so that's going to hide it perfectly" 😎
*my ocd*: "but I'll knowwww" 😱😭😂
I enjoyed watching you, lol. But I've never used foam core with resin or use a real tray. I've only used the $100 molds.
We sell rolling tray at our shop so im going to grab one and try putting are shops name on them in resin. Because writing in resin is almost impossible.
Thanks
Thank you for this feedback! This is exactly what we hope to do, inspire creativity and give ideas about new ways to use and create with ArtResin 🙂Good luck!!
New to resin and love this idea. What did you do before to bottom layer before adding top coat of resin? It looked like you scuffed it up? Thanks.
You can use sandpaper to scuff up a smooth surface to give it more tooth, we didn't do that in this case since ArtResin typically adheres well to metals. Just be sure the surface is clean and dry and free fro ay oily residue before you start.
@@Artresin Thanks
What about trying very small magnets inside the silicone stars to hold them?
Good idea! I wonder if that will work??
Do you need to wear a respirator while using this resin? Nice job
Glad you enjoyed the video. ArtResin is non-toxic, does not produce fumes or harmful VOCs and is safe for home use when used as directed. If you are working in a well ventilated area you are not required to wear a respirator, but you may choose to if it makes you more comfortable. Here is a link to our blog on what safety precautions to take when using ArtResin: www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/what-safety-precautions-should-i-take-when-using-artresin?_pos=3&_sid=bd601336c&_ss=r
I thought when you mix party A and part B together a chemical reaction occurs and causes harmful fumes, even if you can't smell them, they are still there. From what I've read, all craft epoxy does this and that's why proper ppe is needed
@@rachelsnailshop7074 The ArtResin formula is an extremely pure formula made from the purest raw materials. There are no solvents or cheap diluents that other epoxy resin brands use to stretch the material. As a result, everything reacts in the chemical reaction leaving nothing behind. This means there are no VOCs or fumes coming off the product into the air, which can cause respiratory distress and other serious health problems.
Great video, id have preferred the exta 2 minutes of footage to show the top coat process, just because i am a novice 🤪 Cheers 🍻
Hi Paul, thanks for the feedback and we are glad you enjoyed the video. To apply the final coat of resin, you will want to lightly sand your cured resin surface, wipe the surface clean, pour your ArtResin overtop, torch bubbles, then let cure. Here is a link to a video on how to do a second coat: www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/can-i-do-a-second-coat-of-epoxy-resin-can-i-do-multiple-coats-of-epoxy-resin?_pos=3&_sid=96e0c4b11&_ss=r
Really neat ideas here! I have some similar silicone molds not getting enough love that I think I will use to try this out. Would this work with plastic type trays? Maybe after roughing up the bottom with some sandpaper? Thanks for the inspiration!
Typically ArtResin does not adhere well to plastics, but you could try scuffing the surface and see if its enough to prevent delamination.
Nice ideas and good explaining done in the video. Does the tray become sticky under a hot coffee mug?
Hi Manisha, ArtResin is heat resistant up to 120F, we recommend avoiding contact with surfaces and temperatures higher than this to avoid damage to your resin surface.
I've heard of duct tape but not tuck tape DID YOU SAY duck or tuck??? Thanks in advance
Hi Ssue, he is using a brand of sheathing tape called "Tuck Tape".
@@Artresin t.y.
Why wouldn’t you just make gold and red stars in the silicone star molds, tack those down to the tray (glue dots would work) and then pour the white resin around them? And use keychain letter molds to do the same for your initials. I don’t understand what the point of the extra steps were.
Just giving a different method....do what works for you!! 🙂
Will this work on a plastic tray instead of metal?
Plastic is a surface that ArtResin will not bond strongly too. If you did want to try it on plastic you would want to use sandpaper to scuff up the surface to provide tooth, but this still doesn't guarantee a perfect bond.
Have you tried mold release or Vaseline on the "Tuck Tape"? Might make it easier to remove the taped pieces. Just a thought....
Thanks for the suggestion 🙂
@@Artresin my pleasure. 🤗
i was told with any food and resin to spray it first so it dosent loose the colour later or go moldybut then others do nothing
You can always choose to seal your project first, we recommend testing on a non-masterpiece first so that you can perfect your technique.
Fail - First Attempt In Learning
Sail - Second Attempt In Learning
Tail - Third Attempt In Learning....
Please can I do that on a plastic tray?
ArtResin will not adhere strongly to plastic surfaces so I would not recommend this. We would recommend using metal or wood as a substrate for best results.
@@Artresin Thanks for your advice and your awsome videos!
I love art resin but honestly the micro-bubbling is beginning to be not cute.. I’ve tried for over a year to fix the issue because otherwise your resin ROCKS but I just tried another to see if there was any difference and it was clear not a bubble in sight and I mixed it at a normal rate too nowhere near as slowly as with my AR. I’m hoping you guys can improve the formulation. Great video love the trays x
We are sorry to hear that bubbles are giving you grief! Here is a link to a blog on some basic tips on reducing bubbles, but please reach out to us at support@artresin.com if you are still finding you are having problems and we can help troubleshoot further. Thanks!

Is your resin food safe?
Where are the trays from?
Hi could you answer my question please, I've asked so many people but haven't yet had an answer, Im looking for a resin that I can resin trays, moulds, paintings and wood, is there a resin that does all of the above?
Hi Annamarie, ArtResin was developed as a surface coating for artwork, meant to be poured at a thickness of 1/8". You can use ArtResin for thicker applications like molds as long as you pour in layers of 1/8" to allow the bubbles to clear. We know many artists who use ArtResin for not only coating their paintings, but also for wood, small molds, etc.
@@Artresin Thank you so much for your reply, so can I buy any art resin then to do the job for the things I have listed in my other message? 😊
@@annamariekassab18 yes you can.
@@Artresin Thank you for your help , I really appreciate it, I'm so excited now that I know, I'm going to order it. 👍
Why were the trays covered up?
It is recommended that once you pour your resin you cover your artwork with a clean box or plastic bin for the first 24 hours of curing. This prevents any dust or debris from falling onto your resin while it cures.
U take 1:1 ratio of resin and hardener?
Hi Maheen, Yes-ArtResin is a 1:1 ratio by volume.
Just get on with it
Hey Bonny thanks for tuning in! You can use the slider at the bottom of the screen to fast forward through any parts of the video that are not useful to you :)
Are you using real sprinkles?
Yes! The same kind you decorate cookies with :)
Just curious, not a criticism but why didn't you just make the smaller resin pieces first and pour the main color around the cured pieces? Just seems like you made more work for yourself. No offense intended.
We could have done that if we were going to make a silicone mold to cast the resin into, but we didn't have a silicone mold for the initials, so we found a way to make them ourselves. The stars could have been made in that order since they were silicone molds. Just trying to spark creativity :)
Do you not need to wear a mask with ArtResin?
Yes you do!!!
Hi KK, ArtResin is non-toxic, does not produce fumes or harmful VOCs and is safe for home use when used as directed. If you are working in a well ventilated area you are not required to wear a respirator, but you may choose to if it makes you more comfortable.

@@Artresin this is great news 😂 I thought I was just risking it
are these trays from IKEA?
yeah they are. I use the same ones for my resin trays XD
YES! We did get these particular trays from Ikea :)
I thought you needed to wear ppe when working with epoxy 😔
Hi Lauren, it is important to always follow the guidelines of the resin you are using. We are happy to tell you that ArtResin is non toxic and does not produce fumes or VOCs, it is safe for home use when used in a well ventilated area. You should always protect your skin by wearing gloves, but if you are working in a well ventilated area, a respirator is not required unless you feel more comfortable wearing one.

He's fun to watch but the final trays are blah.....
We agree-Dan is so fun and has great energy. Even if this particular design isn't your style, perhaps it an give you inspiration for a project of your own :)
This video was 10 mins too long
The trays are very ugly but the guy is cool
Lmao true but ya know the saying Beauty is in the Eye of the butt holder lol 😆😆😆😆😆
These may not be your style, but we hope you picked up some tips or ideas for other projects using your own style!
And I hope you inspire your underpaid intern to do a better job. Maybe if he had a healthcare plan he would have time to plan or maybe if. ANyways, where is the mask???? Mid COVID no mask???? I am callingcalling the WHO. WHy don’t you just flash everyone

@@barbarad.collins9076 Thank you for your concern, at the time of filming all Covid safety guidelines were followed.
@@barbarad.collins9076 you're so bitter, you need to be quarantined from spreading bitterness online. Jeepers lady, if you don't like something don't follow it, they don't lose out on anything without your opinions 😂
Too much talking

i thought he was pretty funny ! i also love the guitar in your pfp, my friend has a similar one :)
@@judith547 Thanks, Noya. I guess I sometimes feel frustrated having to listen to long winded videos when all can be said in a couple of minutes.
@@joeabstractjoe its all good, I understand
