Resin- have you hit Rock Bottom?? Lets clean it up together!😁 

I'm SO glad I watched this before I resined anything! I'll be careful to not over-resin my first batch of rocks. Thank you, as always, for all your help. You rock!!!

This helps so much. Thank you for sharing.

Rachel I talk about your rocks and how much you inspire me so much with my family, they bought me art resin for Christmas! I am so excited to try it. Love all your videos. You are a blessing!

Thankyou so much Rachel. As always beautiful and so generous. We love you too 💕

Thank you so much for all your help and learning how to use different techniques. I tried the mod podge and yes it worked, but then i found that even with a dark rock i can use Rust-Oleum crystal clear enamel and I don't have to apply any paint, it hides the look of the sanded bottom and allows the natural look shine through, have you tried it? I❤ it!

Wow you are so very awesome, sharing all your cool secrets with us!! Thank you!!

Beautiful thank you 😊

Thank you so much. Great timing as I resined some rocks today and have the lumps and bumps going on. Woohooo....ready to fix my rocks tomorrow!

Good info, thanks for the useful tips. Stay warm 😊😎

Thank you Rachel. You are again awesome! I simply love you!

Hi Rachel, thank you for the repair video, I definitely needed to see it, too much resin on my bottoms, but I’m still keen to continue as you are such an inspiration xxx

HI Rachel , Yvonne from down under - I've tried all the ways over the yrs for applying the resin and recently stumbled upon 4 long screws in a flat piece of balsa wood ( i'm going to change mine though to a piece of pallet wood ) a lot less flimsy . Have all 4 screws facing upwards and place rock gently on tips of screws after about 1/2 hr with glove on just wipe the underside to smooth any lumps from resin getting ready to drip , works great all you get is 4 tiny pin holes / marks ? ad the rest is perfect , hardly any waste like on those flexi mats which I bought and tried ( I am going to be using mine as drip trays , as the flat section is ugly and wasteful I think , anyway ) so give it a try . You can place the screws to balance small to large rocks and just use when needed. After over 16 + yrs of painting rocks it's the best way i've found to resin with minimal waste and a tidy result. All the best , Yvonne .

Thanks so much for this helpful video. I asked you about this after watching one of your other RU-vid videos and you sent me to this one. Great job!

Thank you for this tutorial. So helpful. I think I am almost ready to start using the $50 package of resin that has been sitting on my counter for the last several months. Sorry for your cold snowy weather. Right now it is 6 degrees and raining here on the north coast of BC. Although, some years we could have 8' of snow by now, not this year so far. I am sure it is coming :-). BTW, I love your little giggle.

Lots of great tips here Rachel. I haven't ventured into the resin world but I plan to. I still have a big can of varathane I seal things with to work through but this video is going in my saved list so I can come back when it's time to play with resin. Thanks for being willing to share so freely with us all!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I just used resin for the first time and thought I was being careful to not use to much...but they all have a resin shelf! I was trying to remove it with a razor blade, didn’t occur to me to use the dremel. Duh, lol! 😂

I love all of your rocks. Have you ever done a rooster? If you do how much would it cost? I would like one in memory of my momma. I miss her so much. Oh do you have to use Resin to seal them?

I knew I'd find my answers from Rachel's Rocks! Both what to put my wet resin rocks in to dry and what to do about extra on the bottom. (I tried using a silicone baking mat but the resin pulled the silicone off of the mat) And I really must use less resin as well. :) Love it!

Omg this was brilliant. You have saved me. Can’t wait to try. ♥️❤️♥️

Happy new year Rachel and thank y ou very much for the tutto🙋😘😘

Happy New Year Rachel. Thank you. 😊

Ha! Great idea! I have been locking mine away in my oven on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper! And then leaving notes everywhere so that no one (including me!) turns the oven on! Great tips as always!

Thanks Rachel.......I've still yet to give this resin gig a shot, but everytime I watch you, I get more and more enticed to do so.............and HA, yes, I want a smooth bottom as well! ;)

Thank you! I am just starting to resin .... need all the help I can get! Love your stuff and your generosity in sharing your knowledge. 💕

Good instruction. Thanks!

Happy new year Rachel.Thanks for sharing this valuable tip.😊

Happy new year Rachel!! Got some rocks, paint brushes etc. My new 2019 hobby. Guess what my friends are getting for gifts this year?? Love and hugs. Mo, Lincs, UK XXX

Thanks that was a great tip. It's even cold in California, no snow but brrr. xxXX Grambo

I've been looking through a lot of your video's trying to find this one, cause I had come across it a while back before I started resining my rocks. Now I have some set a side that I had done, but didn't know how to fix them...Yeay, now I need a dremel

Thankyou for this....something I was searching for!!!! Really helpful. I had one more issue while I resigned my stones. On one of the pebbles the acrylic paint kind of leaked and spread around mildly over the pebble. How can that happen?? It was acrylic paint

I like the shelf in a way, it gives the stone a base 😊

Thank you for that video. I haven't even started rock painting yet as I like to research. You're the only one I've subscribed to because well you're the best LOL Happy New Year!!

Thank you once again.

First I’ve heard of the hardened drippings referred to as NIPPLES😂😂😂

Thank you so much! I needed this! Happy New Year!

Thank you, I have been struggling with resin. This video really helps. I have a question, do you resin twice to get the rocks so shiny? Keep making videos, you are a great inspiration for me.

Thank You great advice! 🧡MS Awareness🧡

Great video. What are your initials? I still haven't used resin. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us!! :)

Hi Rachel , thank you for the tutorial. But what are your thoughts about not even resining the bottoms? Maybe just use a good sealer and just resin the tops?

Жду новых шедевров.спасибо.россия

Can’t you just re-resin after sanding off shelf? Maybe just using your rubbing a little resin on with the glove method? Also, I never know how to finish the rocks. Do you paint most, if not all, the backs black? Thanks bunches.

What is the brand of brush you use for signing your work? Can you order them from Amazon?

How did you avoid the flat spots on the bottom of the rock?

Oh just another point. I noticed in some of your videos you balance your resined rocks on small round caps. Is this a better way than flat on the silicone mat?

Hi Rachel. Is there a way to fix the top of a painted rock if it cured with uneven spots?

Thank you so much! That was fast! lol

Idk if I would drill off the resin , just glue felt to the bottom it will serve 2 purposes. One hide the ugly resin two keep the rock from scratching the table ect

I love your work!!! What does that symbol mean? Can you please do a tutorial for this design?

Who sent you out into the snow!

Ok. So what do you place your rocks on before you resin ? Is it the Rubbermaid plastic ? wont it stick to it ? What would be the best products to use for that .. I know now its not tinfoil lol

Wondering how the resin finish would weather outside?

por favor vi un tutirual de una mariposa amarilla en roca fondo negro y no la encuentro . ya la empece

Rachel where did you find the angled brush that you use to paint your initials? I have an angled spotter made by Princeton, but not really fond of it and would like to try something else. Thanks!

Would you please re-post your video on how you made your liner brush? I thought I'd saved it but can't find it. I checked your page but not on there either. Thank you in advance.

Do you then re-seal that bottom with a better protectant than the Modge Podge?

Hi Rachel does art resin and varnish give the same effect?

Rachel, I resined my rocks on a glass cutting board and they are stuck! And I mean stuck I broke one pair of scissors and I have no idea how to get these rocks off the glass cutting board! I don't want to shatter the glass but I don't know what I'm supposed to do! Please help

Hi what I meant was can I use spray varnish instead of art resin. will it give the same effect?

which dremel attachment is that and how does it hold up? thank you!

you know you can just add the tiniest bit of resin rubbed lightly or brushed on lightly on this side only and not use Mod Podge! *shudder* . the new resin fills in all the sanded areas and you can't even tell it was sanded anymore..

Where do you buy your rocks?

How do you put resin on your rocks?

What if the resin nipples are on the front?

Hey Rachel!!! I found a spray specifically for this issue!!! Tried it myself on a rock I’d accidentally gotten a little “nipple” on my first time trying resin and had to use the dremel on it. I picked it up at a craft store, but you can find it on amazon.ca: www.amazon.ca/Environmental-Technology-4-Ounce-Castin-Surface/dp/B002AG0OQ2/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=resin+spray&qid=1571892070&sprefix=reain+spray&sr=8-2 Hope that’ll help save you a few steps ❤️
