ArtResin - How to artresin your Artwork & Photography (epoxy resin clear coat) 

So imagine my surprise as I'm searching for tutorials on how to do this resin finish and the video I pick has my old friend Brad from Swallows! Great to see that you are doing well!!

Amazing images all by themselves and the resin made them pop! Beautiful.

Thanks, I just bought resin and I am so scared. I love that you explain everything so well. TFS

Wear gloves and Eye protection. Place your art on the floor, on a dropcloth for best result of levelness. You can prop it on risers also, like yogurt cups, or coffee cans filled with rocks or sand. Tape edges of canvas to protect, or it may spill on the sides. You can also not cover sides, and use your glove to paint the sides in resin lightly. Pour Part A + B together in equal parts, mix in a cup thoroughly for 3-4 minutes, pour and spread it on the artwork, from center outward with scraper, which needs to be level or the resin won't be even. Try to push it just to the edge, so its not dripping off, but just suspended there. Wipe off if it goes over the side. Use a flame torch to pop bubbles if desired, like a torch from 12" away. You have 30 minutes until it hardens. Let it cure at least 24 hours, Covered in cardboard tents, so no dust gets on, and your good to go.

Thanks for the Art Resin lesson, love your photography!

you make it look so easy, your one chilled guy.

Thank u so much for this! Love the art and tutorials it really helped me❤❤

Your video is very helpful. I’m going to try it on my pyrography engraved artwork.

Great video bro! Awesome epoxy resin tutorial that could be used for any application. Big thumbs up!

love your work

Makes it look so much better and no need for glass.

That looks awesome!

Looks Amazing!

By far best tutorial thank you

Your artwork was already WOW but with the resin its like OMG WOW AMAZING PHENOMINAL !!!!!!!!!

That art is great

Looks so good

Beautiful work

Great work!

Great work for sure, love the way they came out. I never used resin before but heard of it so I looked it up and this is the first video I clicked on. I do have a question. Did u have to do anything to your canvas before adding the resin so it doesn’t bleed or anything?

His Missus is going to have a fit when she is looking for her towels! Expensive on towels!

Really beautiful

Thanks Brad this was super helpful

Awesome vid! Thank you so much!

Nice work!

Awesome video!

Wow beautiful

this is the easiest explanation, thank you and i love your pictures!!!

Thanks for the informative video.

Your garage looks like the perfect environment for this. Dust has been a struggle for me. Might have to build some kind of enclosure.

Loved your video. The affect of your photos after the art resin was put on. Thank you for sharing

video is simple and to the point. Are the frames heavier after resin? Sands of time is awesome! Good work Brad!

great video! thanks!

Great photos. Question: when I frame my photos with glass, I use non reflective. I'm just wondering how reflective the resin is? Thanks. 👍

Cool pictures love it your fan jaafar

Thank you for the tutorial. Does this resin come in satin or matte finishes? If so, would/have you used those as opposed to the shiny used here?

I just painted an abstract painting using flat and gloss paint so it has an interesting look to it. Ifor I pour a resin over it will it turn everything to a gloss or will it stay the same with a glass hard shell on it?

Do you have any support on the back side of the canvas to keep the surface level? and do you need to treat the canvas first to make it less porous?

Great video & phenomenal results! What is the temperature requirement for Art resin? I usually use Stone coat but these results with 1 coat are 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

I wanted to use this method for my photographs because I absolutely adore how it brings out the colors but then I realized that I didn't like how much glare it came from it. I'm so troubled about what to do! Is this an archival method? Thank you!

I wanted to buy this product but need help in figuring out how much I need. I would like to coat 4 12x16 pictures, would the 32oz kit work? BTW your photos and canvas prints are amazing.

can I ask you questions about your prints did you need to add anything to the photos for protection before putting resin over them?

which brand do you use to glue your picture and which sealant do you use to prep your photo before putting resin on it?

I just subscribed, thanks for sharing! can I use this over spray painted poster paper and foam poster board?

your photography is killer.

so what was a better quality the metal print or the art resin when it was finished??

I have used the Devcon brand epoxy for Salt water fly tying. It yellows after some time exposure to the sun. Now that it has been a while, do you experience any yellowing or the coating not being clear anymore?

Seeing them from the distance on the wall would have been nice

i love those pictures! you were very helpful on some questions i had on resin. how did you know how much resin to mix up for that size picture? oh i also love the cars behind you!!

Thanks for sharing this video! Your photographs are amazing!! How much do those prints go for?

Hey, did you treat your canvas print before applying the art resin? I've had a problem with canvas prints getting all crackled looking with other gel coats. I've tried Golden and an industrial brand. From chemical reaction? Or drying? Not sure. Is ArtResin safe for certain types of canvas prints and are the surfaces treated before using art resin?

Hi I just watched your video, your photos are amazing and the demonstration was easy to follow. I have watched a number of videos recently and some presenters have stated that resin yellows over time. I'm hoping this isn't always true. Do you know how art resin performs in the long term. Is there any yellowing?

Would this be good for black and white photos made with the Holga camera. The images will be soft focus.

I like this one too. I have to find time to do all this stuff I want to do before I go...not enough time.

I use a heat gun to pop the bubbles. Do you have any feelings towards using the heat gun verse the flame?

How many oz are in the bottle? I have a big picture 4 ' x 5 ' . I need to do this, but trying to figure out how much to make. Thank you 4 your help!

Enjoyed the video! I make frames like those that your images are mounted to. Do you make your own or do you purchase them? I have a starter set of the resin on the way. Can't wait to give it a go! David

Can you use resin on items that have been coated with acrylic varnish?

Would it be wise to resin work and clear gloss spray it down?

Hello .may I know epoxy resin and lacquer hardener same thing .

It seemed you used​ less than the square footage required am I correct?

Plea! has anyone found gaps (of no resin) and tried to fill them afterwards, ie when dry? Or would it work if I just overlaid a whole new sheet of resin on top, hoping it would fall in the holes, unnoticed?????

Can you mix somehow lighter so you can spray to apply it.I just wonder if I can use on my oil pastel , I hate all the little pieces falling off.

Amazing work!!! What glue did you use for the photos?

Thank u for sharing😊

Hey Brad, is there a concern about the apoxy yellowing over time? I did my first poor and it looked pretty good. But somebody told me I should put a polyurathane over to protect it from yellowing. Have you heard of this?

Hi, Beautiful photos!! Just wondering..... Can resin be used to cover artwork done in soft pastels, oil pastels and graphite?

Not being familiar with canvas, can you light those from behind? Might totally set it off, not that they aren't awesome as is.

if i wanted to do this over a poster the thing im afraid of will it make the print bleed and look distorted never done resin art before but wanted to try it on a toy box for my grandkids

How much is dust an issue with this process?

So this resin didn't cause any kinda ink bleeding? That's what I've run into, been looking for something that won't bleed

Nice photos! The resin really makes for a beautiful finish. I can't quite tell in the video, and maybe you mentioned it and I missed it, but did you let the resin naturally drip over the edges or did you brush around the edges or did you tape off the edges and remove the tape leaving the edges sans resin? Hardened resin drippings are an issue for me and I'm just looking for ways to minimize the after-mess. Thanks for sharing, your photos are top notch!

Is this also Self Levelling?

Hi! Can i use it to protect art work in a cell phone case?

hey, which printer you used to print these images ?

Beautiful!! Do you have to have a heat gun?

why when i have done this does my pic lifts from surface causing huge bubbles? I have tried several ways of gluing pic down.

Great video! Where do you get your photos printed onto canvas?

Great work! I’ve had a problem that some of my photos faded over a short time after coated in resin. They were printed at a pharmacy. Do you have any idea why?

Did you apply varnish before resin?

I'm about to try this but my plan is to do that first layer and then to do a very thick layer on top of it. But I can't decide if I should just do the a big layer all at once. If it was just wood you would do a small layer and then a big one and then a small one . Random but have you been to The Narrows in Utah? It's one of the most interesting hikes I've ever been on and they can go pretty much as long as you want it to go because it never ends. A lot of it is walking through water, but the like the colors of the walls are gorgeous. And the way the light breaks through the ravine like way above you and it just like it gives you sight after sight after sight and never ends

Can you glaze transparencies?

Good demo. So you have to wrap tape around all edges before pouring to prevent it dripping over. Thanks!

what material of photo paper that you used ?

What is the liquid used on the canvas ? Just tell the name of bottle plz

I paint with acrylics and sometimes use Oils. Will my stuff come out looking glossy and reflective like this too with art resin after I spray clear gloss finish on it?
