Fix the sharp edge or lip on your resin coasters and art pieces

If you mold your resin, then unless you can slightly dome it in the mold, you will almost certainly get a little sharp lip or edge on the back of your cured resin pieces. In this video I will show you how I sand down that edge and then fill the back of the coaster with a little extra resin. Now the back is as smooth and finished as the front.

I just poured a crackle effect coaster. They turned out beautiful, but even the top is gorgeous. Was looking for exactly this as these can literally be reversible coasters. Thank you!

@LouisGedo 6 лет назад

Excellent instruction. As a woodworker, I can tell you that the energy saving method to sanding is that, if you have the means, to remove the bulk of the unwanted material with a courser sandpaper and work your way to fine grit paper. It may be the case that with resin coasters, this grit variation process is not necessarily but perhaps on a special large piece, it may be something worth doing. Keep up the magic!

@DebyatMixedMediaArts 6 лет назад

Absolutely you are right. Here on the island I didn't have a lot of choice, and there is only the slightest edge to take off thankfully.

@gr8eft 6 лет назад

Oh Deby, seeing your journey means a lot to me also. I remember your first videos. You are down to earth and have a heart of gold. I think we had started around the same time. Seeing your growth as an Artist has been inspiring on so many levels. You have left me in the dust as far as videoing. I just can't seem to "get it". I am thrilled that you love resin as much as I do. Sending you hugs........

Great information

@DebyatMixedMediaArts 6 лет назад

Thank you, glad to hear it was helpful

@GaryMcKinnonUFO 2 месяца назад

I've found that if i fill the coaster mouldright to the very top, i then get a very slight concave (dome) on the back side, so slight that when i put 3 little adhesive cork feet on it the problem is solved.

@joannedavies6183 Год назад

Thanks so much for this. Did you just use the same resin you used to cast?

@marksneyd1262 8 месяцев назад

Great video, very informative. Can I ask what resin do you use please?

@lacywelker8715 4 года назад

Just curious, when you make your coasters reversible do you add any bumpers to keep them from sliding? I am currently trying to make reversible coasters and feel like they will slide on fine furniture

@davemeinhaldt1405 6 лет назад

Works for me.

@DebyatMixedMediaArts 6 лет назад

Are you an avid crafter Dave? What sort of things do you like to make?

@davemeinhaldt1405 6 лет назад

Deby at Mixed Media Crafts , Haven't been able to do much any more Deby. Health has been shot for some time. Iast interests were rockhounding, faceting, cabachons, making jewelry. Oil painting, Bob Ross technique. Wood working for awhile. Gardening, love to just eat while weeding. Just about anything for a challenge, copd on O2 ,two aneurysms, back also all keep me on my back for large periods of time. I'm Also a lover of fractal images of which I have made quite afew of. Have a photographic darkroom, can't do any darkroom work, lungs can't handle the fumes anymore. Follow you guys and having some supplies sent in. Have made one pour so far, but pain keeps me down and oxycodone keeps me duaaaaa. Hope to put up some fractals sometime . Have had a great time with them ,the pours have reminded me strongly of them in many ways. ---Dave...

I want to do a sealife coaster - do I have to turn shells, starfish ect upside down or just sand and dome the coaster when done

@copywritersblock 3 года назад

Hi what about if the lip is on the FRONT of my coasters? Appreciate advise on what to do 😉 thanks!

@lnc-to4ku 3 года назад

I've learned that you do the exact same thing as she did on the back.

@serenasalvatore1227 Год назад

Thank you for your video. I have a question for you. You said that you use resin to get rid of the rim, but do you use the hardener with the resin? You didn't mention it. Many thanks x

@bidhideshmukh7921 3 года назад

Hi I just smoothen off the edges but it seems to have gone blur, what can I do now and also instead of alcohol can we use alcohol based sanitizer?

@jodiespiller3644 3 года назад

Great video! may I ask what did you spray on your sandpaper please?

@DebyatMixedMediaArts 3 года назад

Its just a little bit of soapy water.

@shirleycox7013 2 года назад

I have been pouring resin bunnies and they need a glaze coating to be shiny. However, if I elevate them onto a bottle cap, I get drips which are difficult to remove. Suggestions? I have some painted with pva glue now and will see if I can do something with that, but it is so frustrating to get a lovely bunny with an icky bottom edge!

@DebyColes 2 года назад

Perhaps try using a lot less resin for the top coat. Just brush on a small amount, enough for the shine, but not enough to run off. Then you can only ever get the tiniest amount at the bottom and a quick sand should level it off.

@mixstyle7378 Год назад

What u spray water or ??

@ironice26 11 месяцев назад

Hi, ths ks for the video tutorial. I am fairly new to this and i tried adding resin to get the dome and after 3 days it is still sticky on top. What ratio did you use for your resin? I thought i did half and half of A and B fro. This casting set i got from hobby lobby

@DebyatMixedMediaArts 11 месяцев назад

It sounds like the resin wasn't mixed properly. Either the 50/50 ratio isn't right for your resin (check the bottle) or it wasn't all mixed together well. Try scraping or sanding it off and doing another coat. That might save it.

@obie_G 2 года назад

Hi Deby, thanks for the information. I have a question... If I wanted to put a thin layer of resin on the top of my coaster to make it extra smooth, do I have to sand it first? will the resin not stick unless its sanded?

@DebyatMixedMediaArts 2 года назад

I know that most resin brands recommend lightly sanding resin between coats, but sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. For a large artwork to hang on the wall, I would sand to make sure the layers were well stuck because I wouldn't want it to peel under its own weight. But for a small coaster, it will most likely be absolutely fine without sanding.

@ronnietelowitz7706 2 года назад

What is the side that would be the good side the side that doesn’t have the ridge all around

@allymoniqu3 9 месяцев назад

Is the spray just water ?

@teressa7666 11 месяцев назад

How do you fix if some drips down the sides?

@jackiestudio 3 года назад

please can you tell us what make of Resin you used? Most of the resins seem to demand that you mix a larger quantity as a minimum.

@DebyatMixedMediaArts 3 года назад

It was a while back now so I can't remember which resin I used for which project. It would most likely have been either Art Resin or MasterCast 1-2-1. I'm not aware that either has a restriction on mixing small amounts.

@rgvred9350 6 лет назад

Hello Deby. I love watching your videos. I attempted to make a resin coaster as well however when I popped it out from the silicone mold it looked dull. How do get it to look glossy like yours?

@DebyatMixedMediaArts 6 лет назад

The surface of the resin reflects what it was sat on, so if the mold is smooth and glossy the surface of the resin will be too. If the mold has a matte finish, then the resin takes on that matt finish as well. You could try to carefully add another layer of resin over the top to make it glossy but its extra expense and extra work. Better to make sure to get a really glossy mold to start with. I have some mold suggestions saved here - amazon.com/shop/debyatacrylicpouring

@rgvred9350 6 лет назад

Deby at Mixed Media Crafts Thank you so much for your help.

@sanjanavijaya9738 4 года назад

What kind of liquid are you using on sand paper

@mrobson59 3 года назад

You use water as the sandpaper is for wet or dry use,using water helps keep the dust down

@ankitagg4808 3 года назад

Hey did you put soapy water on sandpaper??

@DebyatMixedMediaArts 3 года назад

Yes, it cuts down on the resin dust which we don't want flying about in the air.

@DOTTYTIME 2 года назад

Hi what did your spray on the sand paper, ? Was it just water

@DebyatMixedMediaArts 2 года назад

yes it was just water, to help with the sanding and keep down the dust

@sawmyathomas4754 Год назад

What did you spray on the sand paper?

@DebyatMixedMediaArts Год назад

That was just water.

@NoName-jv5po 2 года назад

Did u use pigment or acrylic colour?

@DebyColes 2 года назад

These were made with alcohol inks.

@lunavalcreations 2 года назад

Why do you wet the sandpaper vs dry?

@AirCrewRani 2 года назад

Just to reduce dusts from the sanding 😊

@shwetajain9186 2 года назад

What liquid did u use to wet the sand paper??

@preetilochab9753 2 года назад

I made a big piece ,now there is foggyness on the piece ..what to do?

@DebyatMixedMediaArts 2 года назад

If there is a cloudiness to your piece I don't think there is anything you can do. The resin perhaps may not have been mixed properly or may have reacted to something mixed into the resin, such as a pigment. Sorry this happened to you.

@Jodysfunstuff 2 года назад

I used art resin but my coffe mug sticks to the coaster then drops on the floor how do I prevent the sticking.

@DebyatMixedMediaArts 2 года назад

Sadly Art Resin is not a good choice for coasters. I find it is too soft and sticky even for other projects too. You'll need to find one that is heat resistant and then it won't soften and stick to hot coffee cups.

@Jodysfunstuff Год назад

@@DebyatMixedMediaArts any suggestions?
