Re Cook Crack Cocaine Resin

@Nalita try heating the tape with a heat gun as u are pulling it off the canvas..it remelts the resin making it easy to remove the tape. It could also be the tape u are using. I use green Frog Tape or blue painters tape.Good luck!
I started playing with resin this year, unfortunately my mistake was thinking it was going to be easy LOL. Found out NO ITS NOT!
Although I have found that some of my mistakes made the coolest looking pieces, I am enjoying the fact that I am getting better and better at it.
I am trying to make a resin glode with a real flower in the center. I have dried the flower and am using a mold from a clay mold kit. Any tips aside from practice on a non important flower? Thank you!
I started many years ago as a Painter, All Mediums, On canvas. Most of my work is ABSTRACT. I never considered my self as a Artist, for 20 years I have given my pieces away to anyone that came to my house and said WOW I Love that PIECE! Anyway, I have no been commissioned and sell alot of pieces. The owner at the local art store saw my stuff and told me that I should take it off the strecher and glue it to wood and put resin on them. my trouble is that I cannot seem to get them glued to the MDF board flat enough to get a nice finish. I am currently using ART RESIN and was wondering if there is a lighter weight resin that i could use while my pieces are still on the stretched canvas?
I have though, got a lovely chunk of wood with a natural opaque cracked resin running through it that looks like amber running through a tree. It was a mistake but sometimes mistakes can turn out for the better!
I want to glue (spray) lace to a canvas and resin over it. I have painted the canvas with acrylic paint. Can I use spray glue to hold the lace in place without causing problems while pouring the resin?
Once you have covered your canvas with resin get your heat gun or blow dryer whatever you use and simply aim it towards the edges. The resin will loosen as it warms making it thinner. Use a popsicle stick to guide the resin over the edge. It will be thin so it will simply drip over and cover the edges. Use the flat side of the popsicle stick to smear it evenly. And if you need to, pour more resin just at the edge to give it more motivation to pour down over the edges. The heat gun is really essential to smoothing out the edges and encouraging it to move over the edge . Good luck to you, because honestly its not that complicated.
Hey all,
Thank you for the article and comments. I just got my first 32oz resin kit and plan to make a Christmas present for my girlfriend. I want to soak in as much information as possible before my first go at it and this article was helpful. Slow and steady seems to be the approach here.
What is a nice and easy permanent clearest finishing resin I can use to coat metal back clip on earrings ? I make earrings and this will be my finishing touch to coat my signature on the backs and on my small logo stamped tags.
Hello, I use resin to pour into milk Ds for keychains. However I went to screw an eyelet ring in to make the keychain, and the resin cracked.
(I used a small drill bit and manually created a small hole first. And I added a tiny bit of E6000 glue before screwing in the eyelet )
I want to cast some coasters that have are glass shards glued with E6000 glue onto a small (3 inch) clear glass circle. I am using alumilite resin and have some casting molds shipping to me. Can I just lay the glass (with glued on shards facing up) and pour a layer of resin over the top? I hope to fill the resin to the top of the shards. I am a stained glass artist, never having used resin. Thanks!
I am wanting to start resin coffee and dining tables I have taken a lot from what you have all said some great advise, personally I am wanting to know where in the UK is best to buy resin and the tools associated with it and which tools I will need to start out
Hi Cheryl, while not exactly what you are doing, this article should give you some ideas. -tutorials/how-to-glitter-and-resin-a-tumbler/ . The same resin used in that article will work for what you want to do.
I painting modern painting on canvas with oil. I want to give it shiny look with resin. Can you please guide me what resin brand you will recommend on canvas and any articles to read before hand to do it right ? Does the oil paint needs to be completely dry before I apply resin coat ?. Thank you so much ?
Hi, I am new to resin art. I read and follow the directions that followed resin. I used a lighter to blow up the bubbles. When the resin had dried, it still had a lot of very small bubbles. What do wrong?
I am beginner.
i came into resin thinking that it would feel like glass NOT PLASTIC!
i am trying to find a product to add to resin while mixing or to add after it has finish casting to make it feel like glass.
what product will help me do that?
Hi Autumn, it sounds like you need to use a harder curing resin. The Resin Obsession super clear resin does quite well for projects you need for a hard finish. You can find it in our store here: -obsession
Hello,
I would like to use the resin to apply a coat or rwo to a box I recovered with paper, sealed with mod podge and acrylic. I would like the resin/hardener to give it a cleaner and more permanent seal and hopefully look nicer in general.
The gold leaf will not tarnish once you cover it with resin. However, all resins will yellow over time. Resins with UV protectants help prolong the time before yellowing occurs. However, things such as mixing off ratio (even though it still cures), putting over an improperly cured lacquer, excessive heat, and/or constant exposure to sunlight can speed up yellowing. How long epoxy resin will last in its clear state is difficult to predict.
I want to make an aquarium scene. I have made a few seahorses out of resin and plan to use a fake aquarium plant and some sand and shells. I have two questions. Can I pain on the resin seahorses with acrylic paint and then submerge the seahorse in the resin casting of the aquarium scene or will the paint dissolve or come loose? Can I cast the aquarium permanently into a glass vase or will the epoxy expand and break the glass (or come loose from the glass)?
Yes, you can paint on the resin, then submerge it in your projects. Glass contracting and expanding to allow the resin to come loose can happen. Keeping the aquarium out of direct sunlight and safe from temperature changes will help to prevent this.
I am knew to resin pouring and and not sure how to go about covering a 500 x 500 x 60 concrete plinth with new tin of epoxy resin that I was given. I wanted the plinth to be a black marble effect. Would it be better to cover it with an acrylic marble effect first then clear resin, or create the effect with resin to achieve the marble effect.
Why am I getting like a residue on my resin pieces. Does not happen all the time and mostly with trays and coasters. It is like a dirty makr across the resin as if it has not cured properly or to quickly. Any advice on why this is happening? I am thorough with my mixing and I only get this now and again. Thank you
ok so ive read through all the comments and did not find my question answered as of yet so what do i do if my resin gets stuck to my mold i mean stuck stuck i had two molds that i had to rip/ cut off the finished piece how can i avoid this from happening again and if it does happen how do i get it to release from the mold with out ripping it?
Hello
I have just started trying my hand at resin.
I have had a bit of success but with my last attempt the resin stuck to the silicon mould and left a residue on the coaster, I had to use some force to separate the mould from the resin resulting in the moulds ripping.
I think I did everything by the book but something went wrong somehow.
Can you advise ?
Thanks
Elaine
Hi Yvette, it sounds like you used a doming resin in your molds. They mix thick, making it hard to get out all the bubbles before it starts to cure. A casting resin mixes thinner, making it easier to get bubble-free castings. The Resin Obsession super clear resin is great for a project like this. You can buy it in our store here: -obsession-super-clear-resin
Hi Joe, thanks for sharing your insight. For a project like this, the Resin Obsession deep pour resin can be poured up to 2 inches thick in one pour. You can buy it in our store here: -obsession-deep-pour-resin
Been here, done that lol. If only I had these good information when I started making resin way back when. Nonetheless, I would pass this information to my fellow woodworkers whenever they try to do this for the first time.
I am a first time tryer of resin. I measured same and then stired together. I am not sure I stirred long enough. I did for different coasters and two harded and the third/fourth ones are sticky on top. Could I use a little more and really mix up and see if that helps. Need your suggestions please and you can emails me.
When you try even harder or you have access to scientific journals, you can find several scientific papers about the topic. The most interesting one (and also the only one publically available) is PDMS Curing Inhibition on 3D-Printed Molds: Why? Also, How to Avoid It? This paper claims that the cause of the inhibition is the photoinitiator in the resin. Therefore, if you want to prevent the cure inhibition, you have to get rid of it (at least from the surface). Note that I have heard from multiple sources (including some manufacturers) that the source of the inhibition is not the photoinitiator but traces of sulfur in the resin that are left from the manufacturing process. I have no way of finding where is the truth.
There is also a chemistry blog that claims to solve the problem by long washing time. How long? They succeed after 48 hours of washing in a stirred bath of IPA or ethanol. And also they always use a virgin bath and change it 2 times during the procedure. This is not only expensive (we need a fresh bath every time), and time-consuming but also presents a problem with large molds as most resins soften when soaked in IPA for extensive periods of time.
