Hey I put the resin of the wood but I have the same problem,when I put the resin everything is fine but after couple of hours the resin around the edges it’s gone
Big help! I'm teaching my boyfriend to do resin paintings to relax. I'm visiting him and he bought the canvases....and it pools to the middle on aaalllll of them!! It NEVER happens to me at home and I just couldn't understand what was wrong and I was so sad. I'll try this!!!
God bless you. Thank you for saying "liquid art panel." I've been googling and couldn't find the name of them. So glad I found your channel the other day.
I am painting on top of rolled canvas and am looking for alternative to stretching them. I'm curious about resin and wonder if it's possible to mount the painting on metal, then coat with resin? I feel like this might give it more vibrancy since I paint very muted "stone" colors. Any thoughts?
Hi! Ty! I did a thin layer of resin on the back of my canvas but wasn’t thick enough. The resin pulled away from edge (very small amount) would it be ok to sand down and pour again? W out adding additional backing? Would the first layer be enough support now?
hi! very helpful, so just a question, my epoxy did pool in the middle and I was wondering, even if its been a few months can I still sand it down? Will that ruin the cured resin completely?
For sure! You can just give it a sand--be careful around the edges where the resin is thin so that you don't sand into your artwork- then carefully clear away all of the sanding dust and pour a fresh coat. The sanding is just to scuff up the glossy surface which will give the next layer some tooth so that it adheres strongly.
This video was great!!! thank you! My problem is…I am using a wooden canvas. I poured the resin, covered every inch and looked a few hours later and the resin pulled away from the edges Help!!! 😢
If you're using a wooden canvas and this happens, it's because there is something repelling the resin around the edges, like an oily residue. Usually this happens when you're handling your artwork, the natural oils from your hand transfer onto your artwork, leaving an oily residue along the edges. The oil repels the resin, causing it to pull away from the edges. All you need to do is clean your edges and then sand your resin before applying a second coat :) Have a look at this video for more information th-cam.com/video/V5MUfSy8H7o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=z-Gtn2M-tDlWsFYX
I did all of these tips and used foam core behind my canvas. Unfortunately the resin still pulled away from the edges. How can I fix the edges? Will another coat help after sanding it?
You can lightly sand the surface then pour a second coat. Ensure your canvas is flat and level and that you are pouring enough resin to coat the entire surface easily.
@@Artresin Thank you so much! I searched everywhere on TH-cam for this answer and can’t find one video explaining how to fix the issue. I appreciate this reply. Might be beneficial for someone to make a video on how to fix it. Thanks!🥰
@@CherryBlawesome Here is a link to a blog we have that describes how to apply a second coat to fix any imperfections in your first pour: www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/44594177-how-to-apply-a-second-coat?_pos=3&_sid=60ea32853&_ss=r
A corner got missed on mine but it’s paper (mixed media) mounted on wood panel. I don’t want to recoat the whole piece. I just didn’t quite catch small part of a corner and part of the edges. Do I still use this method? Can I just do spot touch ups? I’m on a budget so the only part I’ll be doing a second coat is the main subject of the piece. I’ll send you an email for more advice on partial second coat. For now how do I fix the corner? Also I missed some bubbles because so hard to see them on such a shiny surface . I should add I’ll be sanding for a matte finish over most of the piece so the corners are in that part. So I’m hoping if I can just touch up those parts and get them looking blended with my sanding and buffing. Yes or no?
Hi Janine :) Normally we don't recommend a spot repair as it is very difficult to get a seamless finish. However if you are going to sand and buff it to a matte finish it very well could be worth a try as it will save you some product :)
ArtResin I just ordered a gallon from you since I have two more pieces to do and o figure since I’m green at this it will be worth while to have that extra for any fixes .i think since I want an extra coat for the shiny part I’ll just fix up all the tiny hiccups and go over the whole thing again . I think I need to be more thorough with the torch as well.
ArtResin thanks. Also any tips to make it easier to see bubbles especially on a light colored surface ? Maybe i could shine my phone light over it to see them better ?
Hello. Thanks for the video. I did a small piece on a wooden tile with no silicone and it's still pulled away a little from the edges. Do you know why? I kept wiping the drips off underneath so perhaps it's that? Thank you.
Wiping drips shouldn't cause it to pull away from the edges. Can you send us a photo to support@artresin.com? We will be glad to help you trouble shoot further.
@@Artresin Thank you very much for responding. I have sent a photo. Where you can see a very slight receding, could it be that I didn't quite get the resin to the edge?
@@vanessasingerpianist I was just looking at the photo and it appears as though you are doming or pushing the resin right to the edge without it going over. By the looks of the photo you are exactly right you just need to push it just a bit closer to the edge. It takes a little bit of practice so don't get discouraged :)
My resin does this on HARD objects! Like a wood round or a ceramic coaster...am I just not pouring enough resin?? Any tips would be appreciated as I am an inch away from sacking resin altogether!!
Hi Sarah, ArtResin will naturally self level to 1/8", so if you aren't pouring enough resin, it may shrink away from the sides. Use our resin calculator to help you determine how much resin you will need: www.artresin.com/pages/calculator. Also, oil will repel resin, so ensure your surface is not oily. 🙂
I resined a piece on canvas and i. have an 2" area toward the edge that didn't cover. I realise that i have to sand to refill but do i need to redo the whole canvas cover? im looking for a spot fix after its dried without a full coverage. Ugh hope you have a tip for small area repair. thank you!!
We normally don't recommend doing a spot repair as it is very difficult to not have a seam or outline of the area you were repairing. The best way honestly is going to be to sand it and re-pour.
I had this problem with canvas so I switched to the boards and am still having this issue. I made sure my resin was at proper temperature and mixed 50/50. What should I do?
Hi Malik, some things to check: are you pouring enough resin to cover and allow itself to self level at 1/8"? Here is a link to our resin calculator to determine how much resin you need: www.artresin.com/pages/calculator. Also ensure that your wooden canvas is on a level surface. If you are still having problems, please reach out to us at support@artresin.com 🙂
It could be that you are just not pouring enough resin onto your canvas or that it is still sagging. Just double check your measurements in our resin calculator to be sure: www.artresin.com/pages/calculator

Bare spots, or voids, happen when something sitting on the surface of your artwork and repels the ArtResin, preventing it from adhering. It could be silicon residue or even something like lotion or natural oils from your hands that transferred onto your piece when you handled it. It could also be that maybe enough resin was not used and you need just a little bit more. We are always happy to look at a photo of your piece. Sometimes that helps us to figure out what might be going on as well, they can be sent to support@artresin.com :)
I’m using a #3 canvas which supports resin for my shell art. Every single time my edges do not cover, even while I’m putting it on,surface is level and my shells have been glued down underneath. Please help
Something could be causing the resin to repel like silicone oil if you used that in your piece. Also if not enough resin was used it can cause this. If you are having issue please email us a photo at support@artresin.com and we will be happy to assist :)
Hi Brinda, if your surface is flat and level and you pour the proper amount of resin to coat your surface, your ArtResin will level out all on its own. If you are pouring in a mold, we recommend pouring in layers. Please feel free to email us at support@artresin.com and include pictures so we can help more specifically with this issue. Thanks!
@@brindabalakrishna4809 the bubbles may collect where the resin is thicker as they have a harder time escaping. Try to pour in thin layers, allowing to cure in between. This will help reduce bubbles.
Hi there - Yes, bare edges can happen with canvas boards too, unfortunately. Just like stretched canvases, canvas boards don't have a nice flat 90 degree edge, which can make it tricky for the resin to level out. Resin is self levelling so it will always find the lowest point to settle. If the edges are irregular or slightly raised, you may need to build up a couple of layers in order to get an even coat. This is why many artists prefer using birch wood panels - they're strong, perfect flat, and have nice clean square edges for easy resin application. Hope that helps!
@@Ebonybones47 you can totally use canvas boards, but you may have to do a couple of coats to build up the edges. Let the first layer of resin dry, sand it down (being careful around the bare spots not to damage artwork), clean up the sanding dust, and pour a fresh coat. The fresh coat will fill in all the scratch marks from sanding. PS - always wear a dust mask when sanding resin, you don't want to inhale the fine particles.

They are called liquid art panels, you can order them online or find them at your local art supply store.
Hello, I've been using the timber frames and the resin is still pulling back from the edges. Any suggestions please?
quite possibly you are just not pouring enough resin to cover and allow for it to self level, as a result it can pull back from the edge.
