Northern Lights Resin Class

Learn to prep a canvas to prevent resin sagging, base coat, and apply five resin layers, color with swatch for northern lights, add evergreen trees for depth, and remove drips.

Prep the canvas back with foam-core support, wax edges, and painter's tape to resist resin drips, secure the surface, and proceed to base coat in this resin project.

Apply a Prussian blue basecoat on any canvas size, creating lighter and darker areas with water; apply two coats, darken the edges, paint the sides, and keep brush strokes even.

Discover how to calculate resin for a 20 by 10 inch canvas flood coat using a one-to-one epoxy ratio, about 7 oz per component, and adjust for layers.

Pour the first resin layer after leveling, use painter's pyramids to run resin to edges, add glass glitter sparingly, pop bubbles with a heat gun, and cover to cure.

Pour a new resin layer to build northern lights with green, pink, and blue accents, test powders on swatches, and pop bubbles before spreading with a heat gun.

Add a third resin layer, with a half-hour cure, flood the sides, and use heat to pop bubbles, crafting the northern lights through deliberate layering.

Create an evergreen tree line in resin by layering trees with prussian blue and black, exposing a northern lights backdrop, and adding texture and glass glitter through layers.

Apply the clear resin layer and cure about 30 minutes, tint with pink and blue for northern lights, then check angles and remove bubbles with a toothpick.

Join the northern lights resin class to add another layer of evergreens, painting varied-height trees with a darker black acrylic layer to add depth, then apply the final resin layer.

Apply the final resin layer, smooth the surface and edges, and actively pop bubbles while preventing dust; fix issues with extra resin or sanding and plan to remove drips later.

Use a heat gun to soften resin drips on a canvas, carefully directing heat to the drips while protecting the surface, then remove with tape and finish.

Clean resin tools by removing the bottom disk, wrapping duct tape sticky side out to lift resin from cup interiors, then wipe with rubbing alcohol for any stickiness.

Center the mark and attach a sawtooth hanger with short nails, using tweezers to hold nails and protect the resin surface with a towel before hanging.
