- How to Prep Your Board and Coasters With Painter's Tape
- How to Mix, Color and Pour Resin Onto Your Wooden Pieces
- Tips and Tricks to Create Ceiling and Lacing
Basics of Epoxy Resin & Resin Safety (h3 + 50 words)In our workshop we use Art resin which is non-toxic They have had their product evaluated by the American Society for Testing and Materials; ArtResin conforms to ASTM D4236: Safe for Home Use.
Regardless in its liquid form it is still a chemical. You need to protect your hands from epoxy resin and hardener liquids. To do this youcan wear nitrile gloves to protect your hands.
How to Prep Your Board and Coasters With Painter's Tape (h3 + 50 words)Before you begin, you will need to prepare your cheese board and coasters with painters tape, masking tape, resin tape or even liquid latex by taping or painting on the latex on the underside. This is because when you pour resin, it would self level and flow over the edges an collet in little droplets on the underside. Once cured you can remove the tape or liquid latex which should give you a clean underside.
How to Mix, Color and Pour Resin Onto Your Wooden Pieces (h3 + 50 words)Art resin would always come in two bottles, one containing the resin and the other containing the hardener. Art resin is a 1:1 ratio epoxy resin by volume so you will need to pour out equal amounts of each the resin and the hardener and then mix the two for approximately 3 minutes.
Once you have mixed resin you will divide it into different cups and then you add resin pigments, acrylic paint, resin dyes or mica to teh cup to colour it, Once you have your coloured resin you are ready to pour!
Tips and Tricks to Create Ceiling and Lacing (h3 + 50 words)We have tried so many techniques and products to try to achieve cells which are such a desirable charactirstic of fluid artists. After many failed attempts we have found three key things that encourages cells. Firstly a good quality resin. 2. The density levels of pidments or the duration since the mixed resin have been mixed would help create cells.3. Applying heat from a heat gun or blow torch.
