- When it comes to working successfully with epoxy resin, the old saying "use the right tools for the job" is true. Each resin tool is used for a specific purpose, so it's important to use the correct tools and to use them correctly to save you valuable time, effort and money. If you're new to working with resin, however, you might not know where to begin:
What resin supplies should a beginner get?
Which resin tools are need-to-haves vs nice-to-haves?
Where do I buy resin tools?
Do I need to spend a lot of money on resin supplies?
The good news is that basic resin art supplies are easily found at your local hardware store or online. In fact, you may already have some of them around the house. Here are the essentials you need to get started with epoxy resin:
1. ArtResin

Thank you so much for this information.
Kia ora from Aotearoa (New Zealand). Thank you for making & sharing this easy to understand video. Now I don't feel as scared about giving this beautiful art a go. Not only did I write it down, but I also saved it & of course, I subscribed 🥰 I'm off to watch more, thank you again 💓
so happy to help!!
So informative...thank you
You are welcome! Thanks for watching :)
Hi, great video! So I’m a beginner to resin art and I want to make key rings and lettered key rings as-well and coasters, but I don’t know what supplies I need?? And do you have everything you said on the video on ur store? Like the glitters and gold leafs. Thank you x
And do you have the mould for the key rings and coasters? Sorry for asking too much questions!
Hi Alita, the video goes over all of the supplies you will need to work with ArtResin. We have some of these supplies available on our website: ArtResin, Accessory Kit, ResinTints, coaster mold, Artists Torch, while items like the vinyl drop cloth, plastic measuring cups, other embellishments or specific molds you can easily source elsewhere either online or even at the dollar store. www.artresin.com
I wish you would have said when you use the ink and when the tint.
Hello 👋 a great explanation video , it answered my questions but i wandering if you guys ship it to jordan ? And does it dry in the air ?
www.artresin.com can ship internationally :).
Once the resin and hardener are mixed together thoroughly, it will reach its full cure in 72 hours in a warm room temperature.
Do you guys sell that same stir stick but in a much smaller size? Would love to find one like that but we work in much smaller batches so need one that's much smaller!
We just have the large stir stick for sale. Check Amazon for other options, they will have lots to choose from :)
Hi great video, I just have a question I use small silicone molds and my air bubbles don't sit at the top, more so at the bottom so I don't see the bubbles until I pull the molding out of the mold. I do warm my resin and use a heat gun but one or two molds will have air bubbles at the bottom of the mold. Also if I sand it down and pour a fresh top coat of resin should I place it back in the silicone mold ?
It might be easier to just apply a thin layer of ArtResin on the surface using a gloved hand, this will restore the gloss after sanding. Some artists spray a light mist of isopropyl alcohol into their mold prior to pouring in the resin to help reduce bubbles. You can also run a small popsicle stick around the edges gently after you pour to help encourage bubbles to dislodge.
Is there an All inclusive kit, not the torches or heat guns, but, silicone, with a couple tints, maybe a coaster mold, and some smaller odds and ends? I have a lot of resin materials- but- am interested in trying Art Resin- specifically..
Hi Billie, the kit we offer is the Combo Kit which includes a 32oz ArtResin kit, an Artist's Studio Torch and Accessory Kit. You can purchase all other products a-la-carte from our website. :)
@@Artresin perfect! Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing. Is this resine art don't need a mask to wear? And how can i choose the right resin for a job?
Great questions! We have a blog that covers this exactly www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/what-safety-precautions-should-i-take-when-using-artresin
I use All in one glue for doming. Will this work with art resin? I make pins and keychains with shrinky dinks and stickers.
Actually how does resin treat Mod Podge gloss on stickers or even stickers by themself still on the acetate or glossy backing?
Ya it’s just thicker and clearer and pettier
Hi, thanks for sharing the video. I'm a beginner at resin. I need to know a few things before I start resin.
What is the period of resin?
Does it dry up in summers?
How to cure if the one part is dried?
After using so much resin on the canvas, what will be the weight of the canvas after drying the resin?
Thanks😊
Hi there, you are going to have a ton of fun using ArtResin :). Once you mix your resin and hardener you have approximately 45 minutes to work with it. You can use ArtResin in the summer, the ideal temperature is between 75-85F with humidity around 50%. Both the resin part and the hardener part remain liquid until they are mixed together. Once mixed the chemical reaction will begin that will turn it from liquid to a solid over the next 72 hours. If you have questions about ArtResin please feel free to contact us at support@artresin.com
Hi there, thanks for your reply so I can buy any exposy resin and what kind of resin I should buy for the painting and coasters?
@@shefalidavar6714 we always recommend using ArtResin epoxy resin, it is non toxic, does not produce fumes or VOCs and is safe for home use in a ventilated area.
I poured an ocean scene on a lazy susan but i don’t like the final colour choices. It’s been 6 days since i poured. Can i sand and repour a different colour and would i pour a think coat of clear first. Thanks so much for your tutelage
Hi Meg, yes-you can sand and then pour a new layer over the surface of the cured resin, you do not need to apply a clear coat first. The sanding will give the new layer some tooth so that it adheres strongly.
What would your recommend for a sphere?
I have a mirror ball I'd like to resin
To coat a non flat surface the best method is to apply ArtResin with a paintbrush or foam applicator. This allows you to apply in a thin coat and minimize drips. For a round item you may wish to coat one half at a time and let it cure in between so that you have a surface to rest it on while it is wet.
How can I get my resin that I use from your products to stop from bending I bought your products to make some resin jewelry and I don't like the results what should I do about bending?
Hi Enid. Bendy resin happens for a number of reasons, improper mixing ratio, under-mixing, too much colourant added, items are too thin, sometimes it is as simple as just giving it more time to harden up. Here is our blog that details most of the common reasons for bendy resin:

If I cannot get a stir stick what else can I use?
Also I cannot get a torch my art resin purchase was my last craft purchase since I was cut off from spending more.
Use a stick?! A painter stick from Home Depot. They are free. No torch try spraying a mist of alcohol.
Hi, very informative
I just want to know how to dry the flowers??I tried it once but the colour faded
Flowers can be tricky. It is very important that they are completely dry first. You might find that sealing them well before applying the resin can help retain the colour however some flowers and colours fade more than others over time.
Oh, oh, oh! I did the same. Looked around, and found, sealing the dried flowers, with spray clear sealer, did the trick. I Also, will put it through my sticker maker, and seal it that way if it's a Flattened flower... then, c fussy cut the flower, as a double sided sticker- and it holds it's color as well...
Wait.. So we don’t need to wear a respirator? Is it safe is we don't?
Hi Layal. We are very proud to share that ArtResin is non toxic and does not produce fumes. It is safe for home use when used as directed in a well ventilated area. For more details, have a look at our blog on safety: www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/what-safety-precautions-should-i-take-when-using-artresin?_pos=3&_sid=30b96fbc0&_ss=r
Greetings pls am in Cameroon and I don't know where to get all this equipment
Hi there! You can order from our website www.artresin.com or find some things on Amazon :)
Can you just put a cover on and keep it to cure in a non ventilated room so its under a plastic container?
Definitely :)0
Greetings folk's
Please I love to go into epoxy resin work
But I will be needing your class on total material needed
Hi! We welcome you to check out our website for lots of instructional videos and blogs! Have a look at www.artresin.com and look under the "Learn" and "Blog" tabs :)
Please any site to get my resin material
You can purchase ArtResin and ResinTint at www.artresin.com
Is there a "sanding" tool, and it is not manual?! What's her name ? And is it good to use?
For larger pieces you can use an electric palm sander, otherwise we typically just use sand paper by hand.
I DIDN'T SEEN THIS FULL KIT ON YOUR SITE AT ALL!!! ONLY A BUNCH OF SEPARATE STUFF😢
We do not sell all of it but the measuring cups etc can easily be found at your local dollar store :)
Is mask is important to wear
Can I make tinted glass with resin
Yes you can apply tinted ArtResin overtop of glass for a beautiful effect. You can also pour tinted ArtResin onto a non stick surface, when it has cured enough to handle but is still soft enough to cut, you can cut it into different shapes. Let it continue to cure to full hardness on a flat surface. There are some ideas in this blog towards the end that may inspire: www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/stop-wasting-your-resin?_pos=2&_sid=10ed3f6b3&_ss=r
Is art resin a good resin for making jewelry?
Yes ArtResin is good for jewelry. One thing to note is that ArtResin will continue to harden over many days. The next day after you pour, the resin will still be bendable. This can be used as an advantage to some art making as you can continue to manipulate and create with the material in this state. The slower cure is intentional in the chemistry. There is a direct coronation between slower curing times and long term non yellowing. So the slower the cure, the longer the piece will last
@@Artresin thank you so much!!!
Please tell me why I cannot youse a hair dryer instead of a heat gun ?
The heat from a hair dryer is not as hot and the hair dryer produces much more wind which will just end up blowing your resin all over the place and causing a huge mess.
@@Artresin Thank you very match for your prompt reply, I love everything you are doing.!
Unfortunately I started having skin rushes and I am itching in a feu places so I think that I have to stop for a wile doing my beloved liquid glass ornaments!
@@lilalila99 we are sorry to hear that :(
Can you ship to Nigeria 🙏🏻
Yes we can! Support@artresin.com
Pourquoi ma resine reste épaisse non translucide après avoir brassé 3 minutes et laisser reposer ? Merci
Si votre résine est à une température plus froide, elle aura une texture plus épaisse. Lorsqu'elle est épaisse comme celle-ci, des micro-bulles sont piégées et donnent à la résine un aspect laiteux ou trouble. Pour éviter cela, nous vous recommandons d'utiliser un bain d'eau chaude pour réchauffer votre résine et votre durcisseur avant de les mélanger.
Merci 😊
@@Artresin j’ai fait ce que vous avez dit chauffer,oui les deux résine et catalyseur deviennent clair,mais une fois que je verse dans un contenant les deux ensembles brassé cela devient trouble. Lorsque je veux verser dans un moule c’est plein de bulles et épais ?
Est-ce que la résine n’est pas bonne ?
@@denisepotvin9382 Remuez lentement les deux parties et évitez de fouetter de l'air dans le mélange. Lorsque ArtResin est utilisé comme indiqué en couche mince, vous pouvez éliminer les bulles de la surface. Lorsque vous utilisez ArtResin dans un moule, nous vous recommandons de verser des couches peu profondes pas plus profondes que 1/4" pour permettre aux bulles de se libérer.
Do you have rasins materials and chemical
