Hi there, I though this video was helpful. I have been using only rubbing alcohol without the water mixture. Luckily, I have not damaged the artworks that I fell in love with. I use epoxies for all my wood products, and when I made a few coasters as Christmas gifts, I noticed the fisheyes. A car painter told me to use the alcohol mixture to remove the oils off of the canvases. I wish I noticed your video sooner. Thanks! MoJo :)
I love that..get out there and create your own happiness 😊 ..rite on rite on.. thats how ya! pretty straightforward,& simple!! thanx for the great videos..happy new year..im a lil slow here as I see these tutorials are 2 years old already. lol & I'm just getting started with this whole thing.
I appreciate all your video, they are simple, easy and easy to follow. I've learned (and still learning a lot). I have all my supplies to get started. Thanks again
Dude, you're awesome. Your videos are the most informative straight to the point on here. I'm so glad I ran into your channel! Looking forward to learning a bunch from you. Thank you for your time and effort into these videos!
I just wanted to mention I watched an Olga Soby "How to Clean Silicone off Acrylic Pour" from Feb 28, 2020 where she gave the formula for the barrier made up of gloss gel medium which calls for "2 parts gel with water", which is different from your 50-50 formula. So, I asked her for clarification just to be sure I had it right. She replied that the formula she uses is 2 parts gel medium to one part water (so not a 50:50 mixture). Perhaps she has changed her formula from when you first got your formula from her, but I thought put in this tidbit. Thanks so much! I have learned so much from your videos!
Is it possible to be satisfied with cleaning the surface of the painting before pouring the resin with baby wipes and water added to the glass polish in the ratio of half to half Thank you so much
You can do that. Be sure that you hold your artwork up to the light and look for any shiny spots. If it is a matte finish and it still has shiny spots that is oil and it will reject your resin or varnish. You might have to repeat the process a couple times, I have to do it a few times to get all the oil off sometimes.
You can also use a clear coat spray of mini wax poly acrylic before you resin. Yes they make a spray can as well as the canned version. That works too but I hate the process of brushing it on three coats worth. I wash my canvas down with dawn dishsoap too. That works as well. You will always have a little color on your paper towel when you dry it off. It’s okay it doesn’t effect the outcome. I use the method you have shown too J Mo it works very well too. In the end I don’t use silicone very often anymore because it’s a pain in the butt!! Lol good tips my friend.
WOW, J MO, EXCELLENT TIPS, SPECIALLY THE ONE OF CORN STARCH, I USE IT A LOT HERE AT HOME, ONE IS FOR MY STOMACH. YOU ARE REALLY KIND. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MY BEST WISHES, GREETINGS AND BLESSINGS FROM 🇲🇩.
I probably should but I don’t when cleaning. Maybe for the last once over to remove oils I’ll wear them so the oils from my hands don’t cause the resin to dimple or reject. But for the most part I do not wear gloves to clean

What kind of brush was that you were holding when you were talking about using the liquitex gel as a base coat before the varnish? I want to make sure I'm not leaving streaks or lines. Thank you :)
Hi, I think I should have watched this video before I painted. I did an acrylic pour with me adding treadmill silicone to the white color. So I painted my wooden letter and let it dry. Then I put ART RESIN on it. Guess what happened? The resin didn't stick to where I had the silicone. What can I do now?? I'm so upset. I just didn't think about it. Please help...
Hi John. I wanted to ask you if this is the same method that you use on canvases? And I wanted to let you know that I love everything you do. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. I have taped the back of my tiles before resin, however I ended up with a tile with drips over the tape, which I couldn't then remove. If I try to take the tape off before the resin is set up hard, I leave fingerprint on the tile where I needed to pick it up to take the tape off. How do you remove the tape from a tile after the resin is cured ?
Maybe you could just watch something else if you think it’s too long. It’s not as though you were forced to watch. Additionally, you might consider keeping your nasty comments to yourself. The world needs waaaaay fewer people like you. Thanks for nothing.
