Thank you so much for this tutorial! You saved me $99 for a course on Resin Appplication by another artist! Your work is outstanding and I’m loving all your tutorials and color combinations!!
Thank you for this walk through! I’m new to open pours and I’ve watched the last 15 of your videos and I’m obsessed!!! Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge with us amateurs !!!
I do not use any silicone or oils in my paints. That being said i believe you can clean your paintings with Dawn dishsoap to remove any oils. @@helenwalters1471
I've had my resin for well over a year and never used it as I thought it was really hard to do. You've just changed my mind so thank you so much for this video.
Love your nifty mixer Bri! What a beautiful shine. I’m yet to try it! What a beautiful array of your paintings too. It’s like a magnificent Brian Art Cave! ❤😄
Thank you so much for this tutorial Brian. I was afraid of the word resin thinking of sticky stuff and getting myself entangled in it 🤣 This was perfect for me! I promptly bought the resin and tools in your video. Thanks for the discount. Now the hard part is- to resin my paintings! Cheers.
Thanks for sharing this great information about resining Brian! Much appreciated! I love the tiles and your painting is gorgeous! How do you flatten the tile bottoms? Mine have ridges that I don't think would work well with the cork backing.
Great tutorial. Thanks! Do you happen to know what the resin is heat resistant up to? I can’t find that info on their website. Obviously doesn’t matter for paintings, but it does for coasters and trivets. I don’t want my customers to be unhappy. Thanks!
Hi great video, This was very helpful thank you I had made enough resin to cover 10 tiles and I had enough left over to do a small canvas my only question is, the resin in the cup got warm. Is that normal?
Thanks, Brian, this was very helpful. One question - you mentioned in a previous video that the resin sometimes pulls away from the edge and you have to do a second coat. Do you sand that first layer or do anything else to prep it? Asking for a…for me. 🤣 Still trying to salvage my only attempt at resin.
I do nothing except make sure the surface is clean of dust. I put my 2nd coat on about 12-20 hours after the first coat so there's no moving the painting around between coats.
Great video!! When I mix resin, I put the part A in the measuring cup and then part B into the same cup then mix. Is there a reason to put parts A and B in separate cups and then into another cup?
Because most resins are measured 1:1 by volume and not by weight. I've been doing this long enough that I usually do it the way you stated but For the video I I wanted to show how to ensure you're measurements were accurate.
@@Studio15Acrylics but if the measurement markings on the first cup are accurate, exact amounts of each can be put into just the 1 cup…..right? I’m not trying to be a jerk or anything, I was just curious as to why you did it that way. I’ve been doing resin a long time too and actually like just using the 1 cup. I used to pour into 2 solo cups and eyeball it when I first started. Most of the time it worked but sometimes it was funky! 😂
Sorry to,be a bother but can you tell me how you calculate the amount of resin you need for size of canvas. From this video it looks as if you have gone for medium to thin consistency so I would divide square inch of canvas by 26 to calculate fluid oz (UK) needed. For any other UK followers the company you use has a basis in UK and the resin is on special offer with free delivery over £30. Guess what - I bought some!
I used Let’s Resin on my canvas. After 12 hours, my resin is like rubber. The sides are not smooth at all, very bumpy and the edges have pulled out. What do I do.? I am tempted to sand the sides and the edges and pour another coat of resin. Please advise . Thank you for your time. I really appreciate your feedback.
Can you tell me your process? Did you measure out your resin and mix it 1 to 1? During your mixing of part A and B together, did you stir and scrape the sides of the container you put the 2 parts in? After you painted your canvas, how long did you wait before applying resin? 12 hours of dry time, yes the resin will be like resin. It's still actually drying. How do you apply your resin?
@@Studio15Acrylics 😯and the result is good, or is better don't use resine mixed wiht acrilycs? I Will go to use Paint and resin mixed and i'm affraid of make It worse.
@@Monitobueno u have to be careful adding acrylic paint to resin as it will effect the resin in that it won’t dry. When I’m coloring resin I usually use mica powders. If ya use acrylic paint, use no more than 10% of the resin.
Lori, while it certainly can be done that way and I do quite often, this was a tutorial. Resin is measured out by volume and not weight. Most resins are mixed 1:1. With resin, very close measurements are best so that the hardness is achieved as well dry time. If not mixed properly using the correct volume could cause slower dry times, remaining sticky because not drying properly or at all.
@@Studio15Acrylics Thanks Brian. Your tutorial was really clear and informative and can see the advantage of using resin when you want shiny surface on painting rather rather than gloss varnish which needs three coats. Just one more question if you don’t mind - is there an advantage in using epoxy resin rather than the coating resin also available from letsresin?
Great tutorial Brian!
Thanks Mina. Love u :)
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing, Brian!
Great teaching Brian.😀

Very good instructive video how you’re doing a resin coating Brian 👍🏻🙂
Thanks buddy. Have a great weekend 😃😃
Very helpful!
Glad I could help :)
Great little video Brian , thanks for sharing!!

Thank you so much for your kind words. You're gonna have a lot of fun :)
Good explanation on how to use resin. When I use it I was told to mix B into A. Love how your projects came out.
Honestly, I've always been intimidated by resin. YOU... However, have given me some confidence!!! I'm no longer afraid!!!! Thank you!!!!
Resin can be intimidating and some people never get used to it enough to use it. I like resin but I’m a weirdo. 😂😂
What do you use to clean the art work before you resin if you’ve used an oil to help with cell reaction.?
@@helenwalters1471 I've not even tried!!! I've been too afraid. I'm going to try now though!!!🥰🥰🥰
I do not use any silicone or oils in my paints. That being said i believe you can clean your paintings with Dawn dishsoap to remove any oils. @@helenwalters1471
you got this :) @@jerelynwalker2109

you're very welcome. Don't let it scare you. Just remember to follow the instructions for the resin. :)
@@Studio15Acrylics How do you work out how much to use though? Is there a formula somewhere?
Love your nifty mixer Bri! What a beautiful shine. I’m yet to try it! What a beautiful array of your paintings too. It’s like a magnificent Brian Art Cave! ❤😄
Awe, thank you so much :)
Great tutorial Brian!!
Good tips! ❤
Thanks my friend 😄😄

Hi great video, This was very helpful thank you I had made enough resin to cover 10 tiles and I had enough left over to do a small canvas my only question is, the resin in the cup got warm. Is that normal?
Yes it is. Once part a and b mix they activate and then your working time starts.
Thanks, Brian, this was very helpful. One question - you mentioned in a previous video that the resin sometimes pulls away from the edge and you have to do a second coat. Do you sand that first layer or do anything else to prep it?

Awesome, thanks!
Question: The heatgun - can I use the one I bought for getting rid of bubbles in paint? Yours looks quite high-tech. Mine does not have a fan.
How do you prep your tiles or canvases for resin? My resin tends to pull away from the edges.
👍👍👏👏

Have you ever mixed acrylic pour paints with epoxy resin? Directly. Not after finishing the canvas.
Yes I have.

Why don’t you pour them into one cup? Then mix them?
