First, thanks for the tips. I’ve watched so many videos and you are the first person to specify nitrile gloves and why. I didn’t know they repelled the chemicals. Great tutorial and the painting was beautiful! Thanks again! 💐
Thank you so much and thanks for watching 🤗 I'm so glad you found this helpful. I wish more people would mention the nitrile gloves. I also see a lot of people not using gloves at all. Which is so scary because over time if it gets on your skin you can develop an allergy to epoxy. Then you won't be able to use it.
Looking to repair my 1st piece 😢. I used a pouring medium for a top coat and ended up with cracks so hoping this will rescue the damage done. Might be shopping 🛒 around for a respirator 😷, resin and heat gun today.
Yes the resin will hide those cracks. I use a 3M respirator you can get them off amazon. The cartridges you have to buy separately they attach to the mask and I also use 3M brand for the cartridges. They need to be filters for vapors and gasses. It will say in the product description. For resin I like to use the LET'S RESIN epoxy. You can get it off Amazon Here's the link code 10naptime will save you 10% amzn.to/3IaTG5c
This is such a great tutorial! It makes me feel more comfortable giving resin a try. Can you provide a link to an alternative Amazon product for the same type of glass glitter you used?
Thank you so much and thanks for watching 🌹 you can totally do it. I found the same product I used on Amazon www.amazon.com/White-Authentic-German-Super-Glitter/dp/B07GC7KW3B/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?crid=1YELABEVVK7XA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Jurv0uK4ex-zVlZmrRKgMCXZqgzTApPWcaRdM1IQ2n6JHpJeCg0KFiqfSEu54iLN34UGlmIAsBggMjqP8YPK6WCqT4MWVwqyEXKbV8qhofQF5-exSRYyotfYve1JvRGn0Wg4LsJARyjmrr0yZUKZraDng26o-oKy0FMm2JBP2OPoAoSC2J3xMx4r5VUl8D5wFyZHOliGTFEh74n_Y4M7_Q.kK0-TSatx8EHUiP2KSQQjoFC_CNCb30SXT4CqDZgfFA&dib_tag=se&keywords=german+glass+glitter&qid=1733630788&sprefix=german+glass+%2Caps%2C181&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1
Thank you so much and thanks for watching The flame has to be right above the artwork to pop the bubbles. A heat gun works well too. I reccomend heat guns over torches.
New to your channel. Have trouble using resin. I resin in my garage. The temperature is not consistent for 24 hours. Is that the problem? Where can I see the pour for this painting? Thank you.
Yes. The temperature needs to stay at 70F minimum for the resin to set up properly. Resin likes it warm to set up. In the garage, it's hard to keep the temperature where it needs to be for the resin to set up. I'm not sure how cold it is where you live but if you use a fast cure epoxy and do it in the 10am ish time it might work better for you. I like the fast cure epoxy from LET'S RESIN Discount code NAPTIME will give you a discount Here's the Link showing how I made this painting ua-cam.com/video/VLivAtVcnCc/v-deo.html
Tape the back of the canvas with painters tape. No, I don't level everytime I use resin. I leveled my table once and have not moved it. So it is still level. But you do want to use a level if you don't use the same place to do resin every time you use resin.
Your canvas has some type of oil from fingers or paint on it. There's something on the surface that is causing the resin to pit. Try not to touch the dry paint with bare hands. You can re-do those pieces. clean the surface well with 91% isopropyl alcohol and re resin.
Great video. Can you coat an acrylic painting in clear resin to protect it long term? I tried to do clear resin in the past on a different project but it dried misted/opaque don't know what I did wrong
Thank you, yes most definitely you can. This is was an acrylic painting I coated in this video. There could be 2 reasons why that happened. The resin you used might be very thick and had a lot of air bubbles. That can give a Misty overall look if you don't use heat to get them out. You can use a culinary torch or heat gun. Just keep a fire extinguisher close if you use a torch. Also if the paint wasn't completely dry or had any oil additives. It can cause the resin not to cure right. Resin hates moisture.
Thank you so much and thanks for watching 🤗 I don't varnish prior to adding resin. The paints I use dry really glossy. I use the artist loft brand pre mixed ready to pour paints from Michaels website 😁
Your canvas might have oils on it from the paint or natural oils from your hands. You can sand it with some sandpaper by hand, make sure you wear gloves and a mask when sanding. Clean off with 91% isopropyl alcohol and clear coat again.
Literally, how many hours does it dry out? And how strong is the smell, like if I bring back my painting 30 mins after applying resin to my room, does it still smell? Big Thanks!
It takes 24 hours to dry and yes it smells. Work in a well ventilated area and wear a respirator mask when working with resin. Some brands smell more than others. This brand I use now is low odor. It's LET'S RESIN epoxy, I do still recommend wearing a respirator mask and working in a well ventilated area even if it's low odor.

When we resin coat our paintings, we keep getting like drip edges along the outside edges of the canvas. I’m not sure what that’s from could be too much resin everything is I know that thank you.
You have to take your gloved hand and cover the edges too. Make sure there's enough to cover the edges well. About 30 mins after you pour go over the edges again with your gloved hand. That will help eliminate the drip lines.
Just wanted to add that if you've used tape on the backside of the canvas, you can easily remove the tape/drips with a heat gun or possibly a hair dryer to warm the tape/drips for easy removal heating smaller sections at a time.
absolutely gorgeous. I love to paint so I especially loved the glass glitter.

@@naptimecreations Thank you so much!
Absolutely stunning piece of art !
When torching the work, how close can /must you go ? The flame almost seems to be touching the work !
Thank you so much and thanks for watching
The flame has to be right above the artwork to pop the bubbles.
A heat gun works well too. I reccomend heat guns over torches.

What do you do resin going to whole canvas? And STANLEY Level did you used it?
Tape the back of the canvas with painters tape. No, I don't level everytime I use resin.
I leveled my table once and have not moved it. So it is still level.
But you do want to use a level if you don't use the same place to do resin every time you use resin.
When I do this, as it dries there are craters that the resin didn't cover. What am I doing wrong?
Your canvas has some type of oil from fingers or paint on it.
There's something on the surface that is causing the resin to pit.
Try not to touch the dry paint with bare hands.
You can re-do those pieces. clean the surface well with 91% isopropyl alcohol and re resin.

Yes

Beautiful! I noticed your pour is really shiny before you put on resin, do you seal you pours with varnish before you finish with resin?
Thank you so much and thanks for watching 🤗 I don't varnish prior to adding resin. The paints I use dry really glossy. I use the artist loft brand pre mixed ready to pour paints from Michaels website 😁
What am I doing wrong if my resin is pitting/getting divots on top of my canvas acrylic pours?
Your canvas might have oils on it from the paint or natural oils from your hands. You can sand it with some sandpaper by hand, make sure you wear gloves and a mask when sanding. Clean off with 91% isopropyl alcohol and clear coat again.
I use acrylic paints, Flotrol, and silicone... Any of those the culprit?
Literally, how many hours does it dry out? And how strong is the smell, like if I bring back my painting 30 mins after applying resin to my room, does it still smell? Big Thanks!
It takes 24 hours to dry and yes it smells.
Work in a well ventilated area and wear a respirator mask when working with resin.
Some brands smell more than others.
This brand I use now is low odor. It's LET'S RESIN epoxy, I do still recommend wearing a respirator mask and working in a well ventilated area even if it's low odor.
