Thank you for sharing! I learned a few tips 😊I also have some to share; 1. If the piece is small enough consider using something like a foil pan to catch the drip overflow as resin might seep through newspaper and cause damage to work surface 2. When propping the piece try parchment paper to put in between a lid and the piece as this will prevent resin sticking and for a easy removal of piece 3. Label the cups they can be used over and over…’a’, ‘b’ and ‘a & b’ this way there’s no doubt which resin to put in what cup 4. Tilt after pouring resin instead of using a stick as a stick no matter how gently used may resonate marks on the piece 5. When purchasing resin look for labels marked ‘UV protection’ as not all resin is alike and will yellow over time 6. For a 3D look of acrylic painted piece paint with acrylic after resin has cured. Curing resin to it’s fullest state may take 3 weeks or more
Great tips!!! Thank you so much!! Since I've made this video, I have ventured out and have added glass to the initial resin pour and then stacked the glass on top after it dries. I love it! I will attempt to layer the paints in between resin layers. I'm still just doing the one layer right now. Really appreciate your feedback!!!
I think it’s awesome. Thanks for showing everything. I learned a lot. I do mosaics and grout. I do think that your grout was too dry in the beginning. That’s why it was so hard to get off. I would love to try the resin and make pieces like you, but the cost of the heat gun concerns me and then turns me off in trying your new method. Darn!!!! Disappointing. 🥺🐢🌮
Always fun trying something new.
Thanks a bunch. I will give it a try! 🐢🌮

The heat gun was something I already had. Some people use those kitchen flame guns for cooking with great success. I have not priced them.
