One quick tip from 2+ decades working with Epoxy Finishes; NEVER use paper towels or cloth rags - they'll leave dust/lint particles. Use a good quality coffee filter instead. They're lint-free.
@@paullampru3591 I've never tried Tackcloth, except for painting - never with epoxy. It depends on the application I guess, but personally - I wouldn't risk it on an expensive project. (wax + epoxy CAN = bad things) Just my 2 cents worth, BTW... if you're so inclined, go for it - but I'd definitely try it on a test sample first.
Nice art work! A little extra tip for all of you epoxy craftspeople: Epoxy resins need to be washed with hot dish soap(plain) and water with a scotch brite pad(white) to remove amine blush before sanding between coats to ensure a good bond. Even non blushing epoxies can blush in the right (wrong) conditions, (rising humidity and lowering temps during curing?). Amines are water soluble and won't be removed with alcohol but always a good idea but make sure the alcohol dries well, I have ended up with a project full of fish eyes when wiping with alcohol and pouring just a few minutes later. Acetone works well and dries quickly (smell the surface to make sure its all evaporated. I had never had a problem with blush for years, until I did and often you can't see the blush. Think of trying to paint over wax. Sanding helps but can also just rub the blush into the surface and contaminate it further. It can cause bonding problems and weird cloudy areas and who knows what else. Just do a quick search for more info. Cheers!
Left over silicon that hasn't been cleaned can also leave the pits. I generally just pour another layer of resin. I don't do any of the prep you do. I've never had any issues. Thank you for the tips.
You saved my life! Ok this was so very helpful and I was almost going to sand it all away and begin again and I looked at this one more video. Thank you thank you the table has come out great and I can take it to the restaurant owner.
Thank you for sharing, they look great! You've answered all my questions...there's so many resin videos on RUclips - but not many of them show you how to finish a piece..thank you x
@@cathylanestudios I have a 3' x 4' I'm working on and I'm currently having a "resin nightmare," with a few pits, etc. I think this is really going to help, so thank you for posting! How long should I wait to sand my piece?
I built a beautiful 8' long mahogany table. My first time using epoxy. Table has hundreds of pencil point size dimples. I thought table was ruined. You've given me hope to repair. Thanks!!!!
Just found this video and it is quite helpful. I have learned through my various attempts at doing resin that using painters tape on the back edges is quite useful. When don I just heat the tape and drips with a small heat gun and it all just peels off so nice and clean. No sanding needed.
Oh WOW! Thank you so much! My beautiful Dad passed four years ago and my only brother is finally feeling it 😢 I had taken some hand tools of Dad's and painted an Aussie outback sunset on a very old saw as he lives in acreage in a very rustic house. I was so pleased with it but am now down to my 3rd sanding of resin as it keeps pitting 😢 I'm going to try your suggestion tomorrow and if it doesn't work, I'll remove the whole thing and start again as it's very precious and I want it perfect. Although I sanded it lightly and put 3 coats of primer on the metal saw, I have a feeling the rust I didn't get off may be the issue. Thank you, I'll try yr suggestion first but start all over after a better sanding if it if doesn't. New subscriber today 💖🙏💖🇦🇺
We Love to watch you work and hear you talk while you master you resin art THANK U FOR SHARING YOUR ART ITS SO VERY GEORGOUS LIKE NONE WE HAVE EVER SEEN !!!!!!!
Hi Cathy! I use regular painter's tape to tape the back of all my pieces. The tape, with drips, peels away cleanly after 24-48 hrs or longer. No need for sanding and leaves a nice clean edge. I usually paint that portion first, before doing the artwork. I stumbled onto that after doing that messy sanding for awhile. I've even peeled it off after 2 weeks, with no problems. Hope that helps. Karen
Cathy Lane Sorry Cathy, didn't know you had replied to me! I've used several...Blue Hawk, Duck Clean Release, both are a thicker painter's tape. I tried 3M 'blue' edge lock, it's thinner and can be a bit fiddly, tears a bit when you remove it, but it works. For you, since you dry between layers and work over several weeks for some, I'd peel it and then retape if I've waited longer than 10 days before another layer. It only takes a minute to tape, and I think it's worth it in the long run. I'd remove the tape 2-3 days after the final resin layer, flipped on a soft surface, as you did when sanding, to protect the 'soft-ish' resin. Please let me know how this works for you! Karen 😀
Thank you so much Cathy!! I have just resined my first pieces and most have this problem! Also it’s so nice being able to get advice from Australian artists. It makes getting the right products so much easier!! Love your work.
Lovely to watch relaxing even though your talking about the problems and issues we all have faced! The bubble wrap tip !! Soo valuable! Thank you for your calm approach. Beautiful pieces of art 👍🤗
Thank you so much! Took me a while to find this, but better late than never. Those pours you're working on there are absolutely magnificent, i see dinosaurs lol
Thanks so much for this video. Making a large resin painting that ended up having pits and had no idea what I was gonna do. Thanks so much for all the tips, especially the bubble wrap..didn't think about that at all!! So glad I found this video.
Beautiful... your video came just in time... I Resin a layer over a pour on canvas... pitted lots and I did clean the canvas with Dawn dishwashing liquid n rinse n wiped dry before resin. Thanks for the second layer tutorial. 👏🏻
Thank you so much for all you’ve included in this video. I’ve had pits, and have been sanding, then wiping with alcohol before the new layer of resin, and still have more pits with the new layer. I’m going to try your method, and apply a bit thicker layers. I’m very happy to see how you finish and hang, this was so helpful for me too! Thank you!👍😁
Very thankful for this video. Dealing with pigs at the moment. I went to your page to see if you have classes available, you mentioned the tips for hanging the art and how to other things. Where I can find the class ? Btw your art is simply beautiful and so meaningful. Loved it. Even these video pieces are stunning. The color palette is great. Remained me of the gustav Klimt kiss piece. Lovely. Thank you for the video.
Hi Cathy, thank you for showing us your video as I haad the same problem. Followed you comments and after my beautiful painting pitted the first time then tried again and still not happy. Probably wont use the product again to finish my work. J
Yours is the ONLY way that even makes sense!! If you don’t provide a barrier on the sides, then why wouldn’t you just end up with another dent? At least, that’s been my experience….until now!! Thank you!!!
I tried to layer the top of a dresser with a thin layer if resin...and it was a mess...there were pits everywhere...This really helped me know what I need to do to correct the problem . Also, Ian going to use that thick tape for the edges. Thank you so much👍🏽
Thank you so much for this video. I had a problem with pitting. So, I sanded, wiped off the dust, and added a new layer of resin. Darn if I didn't get another pit smack dab in the middle of the piece. I will try yet another layer. Wish me luck. Rosemary
Thank you so much Cathy. It is very helpful. However, I wonder what if I spray the UV varnish in the fist place, so all the pits would not show after resin? thank you.
I love your paintings, beautiful! And thank you for the video, I tried this method, but you ff through the sanding part and I'm not sure if I sanded enough or not. But while a bit of the pits got covered, I still still had some stubborn places it didn't take to even with a second layer? I think they are just crap canvases , what do you think? Like maybe some chemical or oil is transfered to the canvas during the creating process. It's very frustrating, especially when you love your piece. But thanks again.
Yes there can be many reasons for the pits. The key is to wall your work and fill with resin deep enough to cover the pits. I never use canvas always wood base as it won't warp.
Wish I'd seen your video a few hrs ago. Got lots of pits and tried to cover again with resin . Now I have more. Yikes. I guess I'll let it dry and follow your instructions. Hope it works. First time for me. I'm a newbie acrylic pouring person.
Hi Cathy thanks for the tip. Im having the same prob . Dose it have to be arcival spray ? Would squirts gloss acrylic spray work ? I get it from bunnings 😊
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial, I've just completed my first acrylic Dutch pour with a resin surface. Could you please explain how long after you've coated your painting you can then sandpaper it?
Great video Cathy. Thank you for sharing. I wish I lived closer to you, so that I could come to you for private lessons (if you do them). You are a wonderful artist, and a great teacher, and very generous to share your knowledge and techniques.
Perfect explanation thank you. BTW I put my d hooks inside the frame. This ensures there's no pressure on the walls. Love your work BTW.. I used art resin for the first time about 12 hours ago
I am working on a Shou Sugi ban table. It’s 10ft long by 55in wife. I have A LOT of hours in the finish. I used resin to make the top surface smooth and had a horrible time. I’m going to try these tips and hopefully get a good pour. 🤞
Cathy Lane Yes the surface of the table is extremely rough. I don’t think I had enough resin to do a proper “flood” pour. I’ll do the damn and pour it thicker and see how it turns out. Thanks for the tips!
thanks for sharing this video. I used resin for first time and came across this problem and was wondering how to fix it. your video was a life saver. Just a question about the grit of sand papers used
@cathylanestudios I'm new to epoxy resin, so this may be a dumb question. When the pits are covered by the second layer, are they still visible? I just made a long counter top with a shallow pour, lots of pits to fix. I'm worried they'll still be visible with the second layer, even if it's super smooth. Thanks!
I have a tray and it has a small indentation by the handle. After the first layer and it cured overnight I used UV resin to attach the handles. Can I use UV resin to fix this small spot or do I have to resin over the whole piece? If I have to resin it again, do I need to sand before doing another layer of resin?
Could you please tell me does it matter what brand of spray varnish you use. Thank you love your work. I have dimples on my mosaic table top what I want to fix.
I just removed the carpet from my stairs and then applied resin mixed with paint, it was the first time I’ve ever used resin, it looks amazing. However, I took too long on one step then I started another and then all of a sudden the resin started to harden while I was applying it, so I stopped half way on that step, so I’ll just wait until I’ve finished the stairs, I’ve got about seven to go. I’ll just re do that dodgy step in the way you said in this video, I hope it works because it has a bit of a lump in the middle. Also, I noticed you use acrylic paint, I’ve been using water based paint...it seems fine though!
Personally, I leave the painters tape on bottom from the pour. This way when the resin drips, I can remove the tape before it’s totally dry. it peals off easily. If it dried, I use a bit of heat from hairdryer to help it lift tape off.
I work on tumblers and I can't wait to do these. I don't know how the tape is going to work with the tumblers since they are spinning. Do you have any suggestions?
Your work looks very professional. I have been refurbishing the interior of a 21-year-old Rolls Royce (leather and wood) and the picnic tables on back of the front seats looked awful. After repairing the veneer and stripping them to the best of my ability I put on more than a dozen coats of lacquer with a spray gun but I could not get the finish even and it was very dull so after watching some videos I decided to use epoxy resin on them. At first I thought it looked great on the top side but days later when I did the bottoms they looked very, very bad---a medium scale disaster---and over flow messed up one of the good sides. I have most it removed. It came off of one table in one intact sheet. Now I am afraid to use epoxy resin on them again. Should I try epoxy again or use a spray on polyurethane?
Thank you for this video. I thought I'd ruined a painting coz if the pits. Can i ask how b luv after the 1st coat of resin do you sand itv and recoat? Also where do you get the spray you used?
Hail to the Queen of Resin ,you are amazing!!!💗 I can't get over how gorgeous your work is !I am an amateur but have had good results,but my main problem is I always get a piece of dust somewhere and I hate that and yes I do cover while drying,then I have to sand and do it again and most times something gets in 😢any way to remove a spec or fiber after it's dried completely?
Thanks Cathy for this tutorial. I recently completed a resin Penny table and was disappointed to see the next day the surface had a small intent or imperfection in the resin. Secondly I also had two dog hairs imbedded in the resin. What grit paper do you use? How would I remove the dog hair? Once I lightly sand the cured surface, I understand the surface will become opaque , as a result I won’t see the coins clearly, After the next resin pour I hope the imperfection is fixed and also hope the opaque effect will disappear and the coins will be visible again....
Hi there, I am having trouble with dimples and dust particles and they show so much with the reflection of the light, also I use a heat gun and probably over heat it bc the bubbles continue to surface 10 min after I apply resin, how can I fix this?
One quick tip from 2+ decades working with Epoxy Finishes;
NEVER use paper towels or cloth rags - they'll leave dust/lint particles.
Use a good quality coffee filter instead.
They're lint-free.
@Kole Jared Thanks for that information. Could be explain how someones ex is getting into their Instagram account.
Coffee filters. That’s a great idea! Thank you.
How about tack cloth…?

What canvas or wood u have used here
Thankyou 🥰
Hello Cathy after I sand can i spray krylon crystal clear varnish and then a coat of resin to get rid of my devits thank you

beautiful works.. thanks for sharing your techniques
How long did you wait till you fixed the dimples? Did you wait until it was fully cured?

Thanks for more of the nuts and bolts!
Was the UV varnish spray to prevent the epoxy from yellowing from UV? Shouldn't it have been your topcoat?
Could you please tell me does it matter what brand of spray varnish you use. Thank you love your work. I have dimples on my mosaic table top what I want to fix.
no any spray varnish

Thank you for your video! In he nick of time. How long do you let the resin set before you repair the pits?
Thanks Cathy for this tutorial. I recently completed a resin Penny table and was disappointed to see the next day the surface had a small intent or imperfection in the resin. Secondly I also had two dog hairs imbedded in the resin.
What grit paper do you use?
How would I remove the dog hair?
Once I lightly sand the cured surface, I understand the surface will become opaque , as a result I won’t see the coins clearly, After the next resin pour I hope the imperfection is fixed and also hope the opaque effect will disappear and the coins will be visible again....
Hi there, I am having trouble with dimples and dust particles and they show so much with the reflection of the light, also I use a heat gun and probably over heat it bc the bubbles continue to surface 10 min after I apply resin, how can I fix this?
@@cathylanestudios appreciate that thank you 🙏🏼
Beautiful work.
