Thank you-thank you-thank you. I’ve looked all over TH-cam for someone to assess this very problem and you were the only one to get it spot on. I love your accent. I could listen to you all day. Hahaha.
OMG! What a great way to fix it. I wanted to cry because I flubbed up on five pieces and poured resin over them 3x and they still had issues. I used foam brushes on them and no torch. You are amazing. Thanks!
Love your work! Please wear a mask as someone who has gotten lung cancer & have worked in mixed media. Resin, resin dust, alcohol and powdered pigment especially. Keep up the beautiful work!
I was working on a small piece.. poured a design of zeldas royal crest into resin. I accidentally nicked it right at the end of my work... i panicked. And quickly came to the internet for help. Thank you so much for your video! You may not have saved my life, but you helped to save my work.🧡
Hello Deby! I'm so glad to know your back. Hope you are feeling well and doing better! I have missed seeing you. I was watching Artist Til Death live feed and one of the viewers told us your new channel. I wish you all the best with it.
Love the ending commentary on the black background. Too cute. I appreciate the repair work and the fact you showed your safety gear (yeah!) Handy future tip is to only go up 100-ish grits at once to keep sanding grooves smoothed out from the last round (220-320-400, etc. Probably fine to go 220-400 here since resin is so thick compared to paint.) 400 is usually where auto repairs stop to paint so can save your 800 for really fine work and stop at 400. Lovely piece, well done.
I think if I was doing a multi layer piece with thick layers, I would do that, but for this thin wipe over, it is most likely OK. But no harm in giving the entire surface a quick sand just to be sure.
Thanks for all the tips. I did have my mask on for most of the sanding which is why I showed it mostly already done, and just did a bit for the camera. I do have one of those notched spreaders. Need to look it out.
That's awesome, a 2 sided resin picture! I've been trying to make out your accent. Pretty certain youre British, maybe from Devon or Cornwall, somewhere down there. Then I was thinking may be that's the accent from the island where you are. Then, haha, you said 'soap or squeezy,' & I'm pretty sure it's just us Brits that call it squeezy. For the rest of you, it's probably dish soap or the actual brand name! 😀😀 Anyway, thank you for all your tips & experiments. I'm really enjoying watching you.
You got it! I am originally from South Gloucestershire, but I've been living overseas for such a long time now that I've picked up words and accents from all over. You did make me giggle - did I say squeezy? Hahaha, many people must have been scratching their heads about that one.
Gosh I love your videos. You made me smile with the black background debate! I’m still not brave enough to use resin though I’m dying to try to put some of our Australian gum nuts and gum leaves in resin if I’m ever game to try it.
That sounds like a fantastic idea. I hope you will. Don't be afraid, its really not too bad. Try out clear coating to start with until you get the hang of it - I have a beginner video on resin here - th-cam.com/video/pNGdrSJRYq0/w-d-xo.html
Your such a lovely woman ..had to say ! 👍❤️ I have a divited epoxy countertop and not sure there is any way to do a small area without doing the whole countertop again..I like your art and technique 🙂
Hi Deby. I can't help but wonder how a new top coat "fixes" the scratches underneath it? Is it something to do with the heat it gives off, or what? Do you know perhaps?
So pleased i came by your tutorial, it was very easy to follow , lots of great tips. I am new to resin and only because I have needed a heat resistant coating on MDF coasters that i do mandala art on. The resin on my coasters pulls in on the edges on drying, I'm not sure why as it has dried hard and clear. Could i use your thin brush on method after sanding to fix this problem? Thankyou again!
Your work looks very professional. I have been refurbishing the interior of a 21-year-old Rolls Royce (leather and wood) and the picnic tables on back of the front seats looked awful. After repairing the veneer and stripping them to the best of my ability I put on more than a dozen coats of lacquer with a spray gun but I could not get the finish even and it was very dull so after watching some videos I decided to use epoxy resin on them. At first I thought it looked great on the top side but days later when I did the bottoms they looked very, very bad---a medium scale disaster---and over flow messed up one of the good sides. I have most it removed. It came off of one table in one intact sheet. Now I am afraid to use epoxy resin on them again. Should I try epoxy again or use a spray on polyurethane?
Hello Deby. Very helpful video.. How to fix the edges and sides of d repaired surface . The drips n extra resin of the final coat tends to ruin the finish.. plz help.. by the way thanks ur tutorials on Udmay.. had taken ur online course on geode resin art..!!
How can I fix a canvas that is showing diamond dust particles? It would seem the little glass pieces are too large and did not submerge well and are noticeable when viewed at certain angles.
Hi, not knowing I used matches on the resin I had put on a phone case I painted to get rid of bubbles and it got a little Smokey, it is now dry could I use this same technique? Any recommendations to fix it? I really liked the phone case🥺 I’m hoping it’s salvageable
Hi there Deby. I have done all the above as suggested and I am onto my third repair on a canvas. First one fish eyed. So I sanded it as above then cleaned it with alcohol. Repoured then a fly snuck in and walked on it. Repeated the same procedure and then a line appeared around 1/2 an hour after I was sure it was perfect. Very frustrating to say the least. So is the sponge brush the best method for application rather than a spatula. Thank you.
Hi! Thank for your video! I have made a couple of letters with flowers in. When they dried l wanted to give them a final coat on the back. And the new coat cracked the front!!! Any suggestions? Thanks:))
I keep getting small chips in the outside of the resin when it comes out of the mould. There are no cracks in the mould itself (silicone) so no sure what's going wrong?
What about a resin that I’ve mixed with some color? The finish is black so how would I fix that? It’s also not a flat surface to re-apply resin. It was made with an asymmetrical mold.
I wonder if the coat was too thick? And then it ran a little while setting up? You may need to sand it smooth again and try with a very thin coat. I'm painting it on a bit like nail varnish. Perhaps even setting the pyramid level and doing one side at a time so it can't run.
urgh, hair is difficult because so rarely is it just sat on the surface and can be sanded out. You usually have to dig it out and then uneven voids in the resin can be impossible to fill without seeing it later. Sand as much as possible to remove the hair if its close to the surface. If it's deep, you may have to cut it out with a sharp blade, then flood coat. good luck
When you say ‘mix up some resin’ what are you mixing it with? I have separate resin and hardener. Do I need to mix them together for this or just use one? Thank you
I'm not mixing the resin with anything, it's just the usual resin mix. But you ALWAYS have to mix the resin and hardener to use it, otherwise it won't 'work', it won't cure. So yes, mix your two parts in the usual way, but don't mix in anything else with it. Sorry if that was confusing.
I have no idea how it happened, but a coaster I recently made ended up cracking in two places on the side that was face down in the mold. I don't know if it happened when I took it out of the mold and it wasn't fully cured or what. It's not cracked all the way through. Should I try to sand it down and then put a top coat? I do have objects in it, so I'm afraid sanding it on that side will ruin it. Any advice?
Oh thats a difficult one. This is really only for surface flaws. If you have a crack that goes into the body of the resin, even if you create a nice new surface you may still be able to see the crack underneath.
I made my first UV resin piece last night and I messed it up, fixed it and messed it up again! It's a 1 1/2" X 1" pendant. I don't think the second one can be fixed. I put some tiny seashells in it that I want to get out of the resin. Any tips? I'm considering soaking the pendant in acetone to try and dissolve the entire thing. What a waste!
Oh that really does sound too far done now. Trying to remove something like a shell is going to leave a mark most likely just because of all the nooks and crannies in such a tiny shape. Put it down to a practice, a learning experience, and start again. UV resin is expensive so I understand your pain.
I always try to add just enough resin so that it meets the edges but doesn't go over but I've never been this thin with it before. Maybe it's time I gave it a try!
What an interesting question. I honestly don't know the answer because I've never done it myself, but it *should* work I would think. It would give the same effect to mask any scratches, but whether you would see any difference in the two materials used, I just don't know. I hope you will give it a go on a test piece and let us know how you get on.
Can you help, I want to pour a second layer, the first layer was poured using a mold, so on the second layer do I put the object back in the mold? The only thing I fear is...the object is already at the top of the mold, so it will run off the sides when I pour on the top layer. And it’s my understanding that at least 1/4 epoxy needs to be poured, then wait till it gets like glue Can you advise me
If the piece is already at the top of the mold then probably no point putting it back in. You could try using painters tape to build up a damn around the resin edge to stop more from running over. Do you actually need a thick layer? Could you just brush on a thin layer like in this example?
It sounds like perhaps they weren't completely mixed. I really make sure to scrape the bottom of the cup and the sides to make sure everything is mixed in well. Its a chemical reaction when the resin sets, and it may look clear enough when mixed, but if things aren't quite right, when the reaction occurs things won't cure properly if there are bits not 100% mixed together sadly.
Is it made of resin? I can't even imagine what that looks like. I can only say with a 3d structure, and a large hole you need to fill, you might want to do it in several layers, and you would certainly need to lie it down to fill so the resin wouldn't run out. Otherwise, I'm a bit stumped.
You're going to lose most of your resin in that foam brush. Maybe a silicone spatula? In other words you have to do a while new coat. No way around it.
I found your video very helpful, one question. You said you were going to cover your project .... what do you use to cover it with while it’s still tacky ? And how does it not effect the finish ? Ok so maybe 2 questions !
It depends on the size of the piece. I have a cardboard box and a plastic crate I use, depending how big. Make sure it's dust free, and pop it over the top so it's not touching and then leave for the piece to cure. Prevents and bugs, dust or cat hair getting on the resin while it's still wet.
Absolutely you do. There are lots of fumes and gases which don't have any smell but which are harmful. It's your personal choice of course, but I always recommend it.
You can't hear me speak with the mask on, so I sacrifice in order to make videos for people. My room is very well ventilated with wall to wall windows on one side and patio doors open on the other side, with a breeze coming through off the sea. When I am not making videos, I shut the door and leave the room until cured. I take safety very seriously.

If you have a vacuum it does not matter
@@lauchlanstill6677 a vacuum? What kind and what it do ?
@@blkcurtain sucks up any dust coming directly out of the tool, and/or sucks any airborn dust around the workshop.
@@blkcurtain basically you attach it to power tools
well Deby thank you. I still have yet to do resin, but believe me i have book marked this video because i KNOW i will need it!!
Oh we all get flaws from time to time. I sometimes get voids when I coat my art if I have used silicone, even if I do try to clean it well.

Lovely piece, well done.
Thanks so much for that much needed information
This is great! I’ve always read you need to sand the whole piece!
Nice fix! I would have thought you would have had to sand the entire piece in order for the resin to stick. Nice to know it's not always necessary.
I think if I was doing a multi layer piece with thick layers, I would do that, but for this thin wipe over, it is most likely OK. But no harm in giving the entire surface a quick sand just to be sure.
Your art is really beautiful.
I really enjoy your videos. You give so much information. Thank you so much for doing these videos for us.😃😃😃
It's always my pleasure Paula. Makes things more fun when I have other arty people to talk to, even if I do most of the talking!

It's so expensive, that every drop we can save is a good thing.
I'm right there with you. Resin costs too much. I almost gave up.

It was supposed to be a gift for a loved one
Hi there Deby. I have done all the above as suggested and I am onto my third repair on a canvas. First one fish eyed. So I sanded it as above then cleaned it with alcohol. Repoured then a fly snuck in and walked on it. Repeated the same procedure and then a line appeared around 1/2 an hour after I was sure it was perfect. Very frustrating to say the least. So is the sponge brush the best method for application rather than a spatula. Thank you.
Thank you for your sharing 😊 How do you clean foam brushes?
You can try to rinse them out with some alcohol to remove the resin while it is still 'wet'. But sometimes these just have to be disposable items.
Hi! Thank for your video! I have made a couple of letters with flowers in. When they dried l wanted to give them a final coat on the back. And the new coat cracked the front!!! Any suggestions? Thanks:))

Hi, what is the alcohol you use, I've just started resin making.
Thank you
Hiya,
91% isopropyl rubbing alcohol, you can't go wrong with it.
Anything higher is too strong anything lower is to weak. Hope this helps👍👍

Have you ever tried doing that method with a first pour Deby? I'm hoping it would work and save a lot of wastage with resin dripping off everywhere.

It sounds like perhaps they weren't completely mixed. I really make sure to scrape the bottom of the cup and the sides to make sure everything is mixed in well.

How to remove scratch without using another layer of resin
You're going to lose most of your resin in that foam brush. Maybe a silicone spatula? In other words you have to do a while new coat. No way around it.
should you not sand the entire project so you get a good adhesion to the second coat of resin over the entire project??
I found your video very helpful, one question.
You said you were going to cover your project .... what do you use to cover it with while it’s still tacky ? And how does it not effect the finish ? Ok so maybe 2 questions !
It depends on the size of the piece. I have a cardboard box and a plastic crate I use, depending how big. Make sure it's dust free, and pop it over the top so it's not touching and then leave for the piece to cure. Prevents and bugs, dust or cat hair getting on the resin while it's still wet.
If the mixed resin doesn’t smell do I really need to wear a mask?
Absolutely you do. There are lots of fumes and gases which don't have any smell but which are harmful. It's your personal choice of course, but I always recommend it.
Most of my resin flaws are fixed with a trash can!
why did you take off the mask ? the fumes were still in the air
