You will do fine. It really is easy to set up and enjoy yourself of course. 👍🏻
Awesome Awesome!!! Thank you for this. I have 2 big canvases to do and my first concern was the bellying after resin. These were amazing step by step directions! Thank you!!!
I am glad this was helpful. Using canvas is a fine option and can work well when thought and care go into the planning on how to execute the process. Thanks Justin 😁
Thank you so much for showing me how you do resin on canvas. I love the luan idea. I was also curious if you have ever done a video on how you package your pieces for shipment such that the crystal points don't get broken off in transit. Thank you again for the canvas video!
I do not have a video of my process on prep to ship artwork such as geodes with crystals. Maybe some time in the future 😀 Thank you for watching!
Love it, very beautiful,
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, your huge table is amazing!...I would love to see how you organise all your supplies.
Table upgrade to HUGE was needed and glad I did it. You must know me. I ❤️ to be organized. It’s weird I know but it’s me 🙅🏼♀️. Happy to hear you liked the video 😁

You’re welcome Emily 😁
Really enjoyable videos & very helpful ! You gained a new subscriber ☺️!
Welcome aboard! 😁
Thankyou very much.
You are very welcome
Thank you so very much. I braced a 16x20 as a beginner resin, it's fine from front but side view not so much. Edges, and still a few bubbles. Guess it cures and maybe try again
Keep trying. This is a difficult medium to work with and the learning curve is steep. Time and practice with attention to what you do will help you grow.
Great video. Could you show how to support a canvas that has a cross brace?
Sure. I will put it on my list and show in future video. Great suggestion! 😁
Thank you that was great
You're welcome 😁
Excellent video i was searching from long time to understand the process for pouring resin over canvas. love it.
The resin you used is from The Resin Epoxy store, i visited their website they have 5 products. Please if you can tell me which one you used, i am new to resin Thankyou
Glad it was helpful Sadia! 😁
In this artwork I used their Wood Crafters resin -

The Wood Crafters Resin is slightly thicker than the General Use Resin.
Hi, I unfortunately have a canvas frame that has a cross backing/bracing. How would you suggest for me to do the backing? Cut the foam board into smaller pieces? Would that still work?
Wow, that looks great.. i want to do that, too even i am not good at Art, i think i could create some beautiful Pictures. I like the ones with you do with a Hairdryer
Thank you Marc. Go for it! So much fun to see it develop as you work 💕
Hi, you make it look so easy. I unfortunately did resin on a large canvas and thrived to spread the resin across and as it was shrinking from the edges I pickled it out. Unfortunately this had left smears and the edges have also shrunk. How can I fix this?
Fantastic
Hi! I think this was a great tutorial! Thank you! I do have a question I have a smaller canvas but it doesn’t have that panel in the middle. I already made one and all my resin went to the middle, it doesn’t look bad but I want to do better on my next one. How would I prevent the sagging without that panel in the middle?
Hi Silvia. Glad you like the video.
I know people that pour resin inside the back of the canvas. Personally, resin is too expensive to do this every time I want to work on a large canvas. The other part of that when pouring resin it warms up the resin on the back and the potential for the canvas to sag is still there.
Thank you
You're welcome Zoe 😁
This is GREAT !! Thanks for the tutorial...question what size gallery wrap can you get away with without doing this prep ?
I had a 12"x12" canvas puddle in the middle from 2 layers but I loved the end result.
Hi! Thank you for the helpful video!! Could you recommend the place you got the donuts for your yogurt cups and what did you put on them to make it stick to the canvas? Thank you for the help 😄
Thanks Mari 💕. The “donuts” as I call them are simply made from the tape I use. Sticky side out, make a ring, attach to top of yogurt cup. 😁
Moonkusser Art Thank you so much!! ahh so easy to do yet I was over complicating it in my head lol!! You’re amazing thank you for the reply and your wonderful videos🙏 😊
What if I want to only put one coat of resin on my canvas, do I still need to put that board in the back to keep it from boeing in the center????
I recommend supporting the canvas whenever possible. The slightest indication of the canvas being “loose” will case pooling and will result in the edges of the canvas without a good round over of resin which is disappointing to have happen.
Hodid you treat the sides of the canvas...did you just let the epoxy drip over? Thank you! Great video...
Hi Maggie. Since I had spray painted the sides of the canvas I did allow the resin to flow over the edges. That is why I use the painters tape on the back or underside edge helps to make for a easy clean up of the drips and I demonstrate that in a bunch of my other videos.
Glad you liked the video 😁
your videos are GREAT!! You mentioned you once applied a thin coat of resin on canvas and you got a reaction on the second coat ; what exactly happened? would that happen if you sanded it before 2nd coat? Also I've seen some artists put a thin coat on the back of the canvas first ; have you tried that? Thank you for the great tutorials, I watched thousands of videos, all good but yours are the best!
Hi Regina. The reaction I spoke of when applying a second coat was that I had remove my support panel after first layer and poured second layer without support panel in place. In that case while working the second layer and applying heat to create effects it warmed everything up and so the middle of the canvas began to sag 😢allowing the resin to run and pool in the low spot. This would happen if resin was used on the back of the canvas also. For me, having a reusable panel is much more cost effective then using my precious resin supply 😁
Thank you very much for your kind words and support. It is truly appreciated 💜
Moonkusser Art Now I understand! Thank you so much for your reply! It makes sense!! You re the best!!
Thank you for the tutorial
Would you spray paint on mdf board for resin if it’s a big one but primed?
Sure. MDF should be primed on both sides to avoid warping from moisture. Then spray paint.
Hi there. How would you do that on an all canvas. Like let's say a 8x10 canvas? I have seen other people put cardboard boxes. The problem with me is making the epoxy even. Do I have to put little cups under the four corners of the frame or do I put them under the corners but it's touching the cardboard box? If that makes sense.
There is a limit to the weight that the canvas can safely support. The largest I have done is 30" x 48". I recommend artist panel for very large projects because the wood will not flex like canvas.
Does the canvas have indentation where the wooded spots?
Got my answer
No. Just take your time for a good fit.
Very informative, thank you. What was your specific dimensions for your luan board here for 24x36 canvas?..have you ever installed the luan after finishing the piece?.
I do not know the final size of cut luan. It must fit in between the frame work. I have put it under a poured canvas that sagged in the center so that I could pour a second layer and not have it sag but I remember it was a challenge.
@@MoonkusserArt Dankè-shön ❤🌬⭐
Hi Janet🤗 I have a question. What's the difference between Art Resin and the Epoxy Resin that you use. I have learned so much from you in such a short time. You had me toned in one of your videos that u have a video in making batches of resin; I cant find it.. 🌷
Hi Belinda👋🏻 My go to resins are The Epoxy Resin Store's "Clear Epoxy Resin" is a great general use resin and at a price that is easy on the pocketbook. For a high viscosity resin and heat resistant resin (for on my coasters or tabletops) I use Counter Culture DIY "Original Artist Resin". Both brands have provided me with discounts to pass on to my viewers so look for those in the details of the videos. 😁
If you are looking to find the video on measuring resin this might be the one - th-cam.com/video/z5Cf7fRZfqI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you enjoy your journey with resin projects. 💕
Hi Janet, is it necessary to do a 1st layer of clear resin before beginning with the colors?
Not at all. The panel supports the canvas so you don't need to.
@@MoonkusserArt thanks so much!
Hello,
I'm wondering how did you figure out the dimensions of the Luan for your 24"×36" canvas. I would like to get pieces cut for all of my canvas sizes. Thanks in advance KC
I simply measured the space for the canvas. Try it out on a smaller one to get the hang of it. I made them for all the sizes I use and labeled them so I can quickly grab the one I need.
@@MoonkusserArt, thank you so much for answering!! Your work is beautiful and your tips are genius! I just measured a 30 × 30 canvas and I'm thinking 28 ½ × 28 ½. If you have one cut for that size can you share your measurements so I can see if I'm in the ball park? I plan on going to lowes in the morning to have a piece of Luna cut so I can resin my canvas. Thank you again!
@@kenyattacheatham8715 just looked if I had that one and of course do not. I did do some measuring of another canvas to see what I might be able to help you with. On Michaels Level 3 gallery wrapped canvas the frame holding the fabric measures 1 3/8". Multiply that by 2 = 2 6/8". Now add 1/8" of inch to allow for clearance to get the board inside the back for a total of 2 7/8" to subtract from the canvas size of 30x 30". I come up with cutting the board to 27 1/8x 27 1/8" I cut my own boards at home. Maybe take your canvas with you and ask the folks at Lowes to double check the size. Hope that helped.
@@MoonkusserArt, thank you for this information!! I was thinking my numbers weren't going to give it enough clearance. Have a great day 😊
For the inside support? What size wood backing board would you need for a 36x48 canvas?
You will need to measure your canvas as brands can vary. I have support panels for 36"x48" but because of structure of canvas frame on the back I made it out of 2 pieces of thin plywood and then support the center of those 2. It works.
My inside is 33x45 opening but when I got a 33 x 45 1/8” when I stand it up there is space still. Any recommendations?
It can be done. Try using supports under canvas frame (in my videos I show that I use recycled yogurt cups with tape "donuts" like feet), then go about using supports under the wood and level them out with paint sticks. If you start seeing the wood panel edges pushing up on the top side of your canvas you went to far. Hope that makes sense.
Ok, but future reference if I want to cut a board that fits and doesn’t have a gap, what size do you recommend cutting it for those measurements I sent?
Are you using a 36"x 48" Level 3 Gallery Wrapped Canvas from Michaels?
Hi, does a foam board work too?
I would think so. Give it a try.
I have question,the surface of canvas is grainy,isn't the resin will suck by canvas sheet?
I prime my canvases with gesso or spray paint. This prevents the resin from soaking the fibers of the canvas.
Thank you for the video. I do have a question. How do you prevent the resin on top, stick with wood under canvas? I tried with foam board and I can’t remove it anymore. 😥
The canvas I use is heavy weight with gesso from Michaels. The spray paint also seals the canvas. Has never soaked through to stick to board.
Thank you! ❤️
Can you use foam instead?
I don't know because I have never tried foam. 🤷🏼♀️
Applying resincoat on back is also helpful??
Resin is expensive. Reusing a board is a better option for that reason. Also, resin will warm and become soft allowing it to pool and bend on a canvas.
Why not leave wood sheet permanently ? Resin could crack even after cured as Canvas sags even more over time.
The wood adds weight. Canvas is fused to the resin and once hanging on the wall gravity is not pushing on the center that would create the sag when pouring.
