About Your Instructor4:52
Meet your instructor, Aisha, a Zimbabwe-born artist with 20 years of mixed-media painting experience, sharing her journey from fabrics to canvases and teaching acrylic pouring and resin techniques.

What to Wear2:04
Wear old clothes and protective coveralls when resin work; the two-part resin and hardener release toxic fumes, so use gloves and PPE to protect against fumes and spills.
Personal Protective Equipment you will need5:59
Choose and wear proper PPE when resin work begins, including double nitrile gloves, a vapor mask, eyewear, and microporous coveralls to protect skin and lungs.
Tools you will need for resining11:49
learn the essential tools and materials for resin art, from isopropyl alcohol and wipes to cups, spreaders, levelers, dust removal, temperature control, and curing aids.
Measuring equipment you will need3:14
Explore measuring equipment for resin, including weight and volume options for parts A and B, using a scale, silicone cups, and isopropyl alcohol for cleanup.
Heat Equipment you will need3:50
Learn to remove air bubbles from resin with heat, preferring a heat gun over a torch. Wrap plastic around switches to prevent sticking, then wipe with isopropyl alcohol.

Removing Silicone from your Painting5:47
Learn to remove silicone from acrylic pours before resin by dusting with talcum powder, then cornstarch, wiping with baby wipes, and finishing with an isolation coat to protect against residue.
Preparing your Painting7:20
Prepare your painting for resin by applying an isolation coat to protect the artwork and create a barrier, then tape the edges to control drips and ridges.
Why I recommend Isolation Coat2:21
I demonstrate why using an isolation coat with resin improves finish by comparing two artworks: one coated stays flawless and smooth, while the uncoated piece shows pits.
Different Ways to prepare your Paintings6:22
Explore three resin edge finishes for paintings by masking the edges, applying resin along the edge for a domed or lip finish, or pouring over the ends with isolation coats.

Levelling Your Work4:34
Level your resin art precisely to prevent uneven curing, using a spirit level and centered bubbles, plus wedges or eyehooks to dial in a flat surface before pouring.
Managing Dust Particles4:02
Clean the workshop and apply isolation coats with plastic backing. Wipe the artworks with alcohol, seal with dust-free containers, and keep the room damp to minimize dust during resin.
Setting up Your Work for Resining3:43
Set up canvases for resin by flooding the back or inserting rigid plastic. Raise the work on cups, spray edges with isopropyl alcohol, and cover to minimize dust.
Let's Talk Resin4:33
Select the right resin to cover artwork and create heat-resistant coasters, hot plates, and trivets based on application. Note safety, including incidental food covering and not cutting on resin.

Getting Ready to Resin3:48
Suit up and prep a dust-free workspace. Mix Barnes resin 1:1 by volume (part A to B) with a 50-minute working time and 18-hour cure for artwork coverage.
Mixing Resin8:37
Master epoxy resin mixing by measuring equal parts of part a and part b with a digital scale, preparing cups, and timing the working time for a smooth, clear result.
Covering Your Artwork with Resin10:12
Learn to cover artwork with resin: prep the canvas, wipe with isopropyl alcohol, remove dust and hair, evenly spread resin, and purge bubbles with a heat gun.
Troubleshooting pitted resin9:18
Sand the pitted resin with fine wet sandpaper to create a gritted surface for the new resin layer. Wipe with isopropyl alcohol, then re-resin, spreading to the edges.

Removing resin drips from the back of your painting5:29
Remove the tape from the back of your canvases after resin, using a heat gun and a craft cutter to lift resin, while protecting the surface with a towel.
Finishing the Edges After Resining11:21
Learn three edging methods for resin-coated canvases, including sealing edges to the bottom or top, removing tape and glue, and finishing with water-based varnish to create smooth, glass-like edges.
Cleaning up once you have resined1:40
Heat resin to remove drips from cups, then lift drips from the table with a stencil knife. Use a silicone mat to keep the surface lump-free and easy to clean.
Finishing the back of your painting6:09
Finish the back of your painting by mounting it on firm backing and trimming to the edge; sign the work and attach a hanging wire with hooks using double-sided tape.
Resin Tips & Tricks14:33
Discover practical resin tips and tricks for beginners, from heat gun use and transparent storage to safe handling, precise mixing ratios, temperature guidance, and maintaining a clear, glossy finish.
Final Tip2:46
Have fun, jump in, and don't be scared; experiment with different resins by testing small sizes to learn, and ask questions to progress in resin art.
