You saved me hours of work thank you
Glad I could help
You have NO IDEA how happy I was to see this vid !! Just bought heat gun with this attachment TODAY...had 4 projects to resin and was concerned about drips even tho I dammed it pretty good....sooooooo....THANK YOU x 3 !!!!!! I'm gloriously THRILLED that you shared this Invaluable tip. 🥰💋
I am SUBSCRIBING because you basically made my day !!!
I just found this video OMG thank you! So helpful
My Goodness, ....... THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I was crushed by making the mistake of not prepping(with tape) my 2x4 foot resin Wall Art project. Well needless to say I’ve done this before (you know...when you’re so excited to get started, that you forget to tape), and it took me hours to sand the sides.... and drips underneath. I felt like giving up on this one, but it was too damn big.... lol. It took me lots of hours to build that frame with perfect mitered corners! So..... I searched on RUclips hoping to find anything easier than sanding a 2x4 foot framed wooden board. And then I found your video!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the resin off of the sides and bottom in under 30 minutes. I’m so thankful. God bless you for passing this info to all of us. Take care and stay safe.
Awe you just made my day. I'm so glad I could help you out. I completely understand getting into the moment and not prepping the back of your piece. Keep on being creative.
Ditto, damn, ditto, girl....me too !! Sooooo happy I found this😁👍🏽
This is a very useful vid thank you .x
I don't have a heat gun....so I improvised by heating a butter knife with a blowtorch and using an oven mit I made quick work of the few drips I had. Thanks
This was so very helpful
It should be noted that this won’t work if you’ve got drip on top of already cured resin...it could pull more up than you want. But this is a great tip! Great use of that attachment!
I love I love the sound of your Rooster
Nice and simple, love it. On a side note, in DIY that heat gun attachment is for both spreading the heat and shielding things from it, such as around windows, not for scraping. It works great for your purpose here but should not be used for scraping paint or wallpaper on vertical surfaces as the scrapings could fall into the heat source and burn. I know that's not the point but it may save someone from a tricky situation.
Thanks for sharing this great information. Yes, you are correct. I wouldn't want to share the wrong info.
Thanks for sharing as your advice led me to take a slightly different, yet similar approach.
Since my epoxy drips were formed a little more than 30 hours since the pour, they were still a little flexible and would not pop off as in your video.
I used a barrel nozzle on my heat gun and a metal scraping tool (with a thin edge). For each drip, i placed the scraping tool in front of the drip, applying slight forward pressure while heating the scraping tool and let the slight pressure on the tool move forward to remove the drip.
As my project is a 81"x15" shelf, I was dreading to attempt using a sander as it would become a gummy mess.
While there was some cleanup afterwards (slight residual bumps remained) it was far easier as certainly less time to accomplish as I completed the drip removal (with sanding to smooth out the residual drips) in less than one hour AND no dusty mess!
Awesome tip! Just what I was looking for!
Thanks. Anything to make the clean up easier.
Great idea Clara! Love your video!
Thanks. I hope it helps.
Thanks so much this is a life saver 😊
Glad it helped. Less time for cleanup and more time for play.
Wow! Way easier then sanding it 😀
Fantstic tip and easy to do, waiting for my coasters to dry and will try this 🤗
Awesome, this is such a great idea. I am going to try this one of these days. 😉👍💗
You are very welcome.
Great video! I’m also in love with the piece itself. It’s gorgeous. Which I was able to see more of it. Lol😀 I’m so grateful to finally see this done. I’ve been told this is a way to utilize our heat guns, but I haven’t seen a demonstration until now. Thank you! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Thanks and you are very welcome. Be careful if you do this inside. Lots of mess. Bits fly everywhere. (don't ask how I know) Thinking of that cutie pie and all your critters. :)
Clara Lawrence thank you so much! 🥰😘 miss I so much! 💋
Great video Clara. Great way to get those nasty drips off quick and easy. Thank you for sharing my friend.
Thanks. You are very welcome. More play time for all.
Love the rooster in the background 😊
Thank you soo much for this video..
I've used this method on coasters, and it does work. One more tip though, coasters made from ceramic tiles get super hot!! So I also use an oven mitt on my free hand. :D
Thanks and great tip. It does get tricky holding smaller items.
CLARA!!!!!!! I just discovered you here! Nice rooster in the background. :-) Glad I ran across this video. I forgot my heat gun had attachments besides the platypus one so I had to hit the basement and find the box! YAY, it wasn't hard to find. So I have this attachment, too. :-) Before finding this video, I had just gotten my dremel going and was using that. But WOW, what a mess that was! Your mess doesn't look nearly as bad, so I'm going to try that next time! Thank you!
Woo Hoo! You found it. Remember let the drips warm up with the heat and put mild to firm pressure. If you find yourself really pushing on it, back off. Besides that the attachment has a slit in it designed to pop off if too much pressure is applied. The bits go flying. Have fun. It is very satisfying to go through a lot of drips in a row!
Lmbo, I used my dremel and turned my project into a hot mess! Thank goodness for her.
Hii..do u have any video n how to apply resin on the sides? U have given the same effect on sides that is given on ur main artpiece..how? I have been trying for this but could not achieve..please share video on same..TIA
Not sure exactly what you mean, but I will try. If I am doing a thin coat of resin before pouring my colors I will add a little to my glove and coat the sides sometimes, then if the colors run over everything looks nice.
Amazing tip! Thank you
Genius.
Wow, great idea with the box, I would’ve never thought of that one. 🤣🤣
I learned that the hard way. Fortunately I already had a huge drop cloth on the floor in my resin area, so the clean up wasn't that bad. But it did cover the distance of my tarp.
Thank goodness lbvs thank u!!
BRILLIANT!!!
Thanks Gen. You are awesome!
Push from out to inside is better to do not crash the drawing' sides.
Regards.
Omg thank you I didn’t know about this and omg your a life saver!
You are very welcome. It's super handy. Just remember these things can go flying and they could be hot!
Thanks!
Thanks so much. That was my first tip on my videos. Super appreciate it.
Awesome video Clara! Great technique!❤️
Thanks. Someone shared with me, and I'm sharing with others.
Why havent I seen this video and kick a$$ attachment! Way safer and easier than heat and xacto blade! Thank you!!!!!
Yikes you are using an exact blade!!!! I use those all the time and wouldn't use them on these drips. If you can't find an attachment, try heating up the drips with a heat gun and use a putty knife in the same direction as I used the attachment. Just firm gentle pressure. Heat and repeat. Be careful.
Yes I heat and scrape outdoors cause heated resin.... it works but your way looks so much easier! On the hunt for an attachment like you have!
Awesome info. Thank you!!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Great video Clara!
Thanks. Gotta have more time to play.
Quick Tip.... I just put tape on under the edges and peel in about 2 hours or when the resin gets tacky like honey..... way quicker method 💯
Thanks. I know another. After you peel it off, wet your fingers down with 91% alcohol and rub those edges. It will smooth them out like butter.
Thank you for sharing this great tip! I really need help with this.
You are very welcome. Got to make the clean up easier. More time for play.
Thank You 🙏
Do you seal the wood on the bottom afterwards?
You could.
I just saw your video and I have a little additional information: the attachment is NOT for wallpaper. Heating up wallpaper makes no sense. Its original use is for removing paint! Almost the same as removing resin.😉
Thanks for that information. I will adjust how I talk about that. Super appreciate that. It's a handy thing, that attachment.
Can you show me how you did it. I want to edge a photo frame
Very clever! New subby
Thanks. Easier cleanup = more time to play.
Wow! so glad you posted this video! very helpful, and so glad I ran across it!!! Thank you!!!
YES oh my gosh thank you.
Works like a champ. If you don't have an attachment, you can use a putty knife. Just remember steady pressure once it is heated it will go through easily. You won't have to force it. This stuff flies everywhere too!
Great idea!
I do acrylic pours on glass vases, candle holders, etc. and the drips around the rims are driving me nuts!
Would I be able to use this method or would it be too dangerous?
Be very careful with glass and a heat gun. I would imagine that glass would be a bit testy and if it doesn't like it... shatter. Proceed with caution. I've never done glass personally.
@@ClaraLawrence I was thinking it might not be wise. Thank you for confirming that.
I recently saw something about using liquid latex so I might try that around the rim.
@@projectalice8119 In fact I have a video on that too. Liquid latex is wonderful. You can even paint designs and remove them like tape. However, do remove your liquid latex after a couple of days. Wait longer and it gets sticky and leaves a lot of residue behind. Especially after a couple of weeks. I use it on the back of paintings all the time and have learned the hard way not too wait too long. In fact couldn't get the stuff off with any cleaning chemicals. Just rule of thumb, I use. Take it off in 4 days. No longer. Here is my affiliates link. amzn.to/3SfKrUz
@@ClaraLawrence Oh thank you so much! I’ll check that out and good to know not to wait too long! 😊
I am postin this
Thanks Shy
50 grit sanding disc on a grinder. Wayyyy quicker and easier.
Good idea.
Much easier to plant a strip of elecrtical tape on the edges of the underside, resin do not stick to tape, so after 20 or so hours it is just to remove the tape and resin..
Thanks whats thé Time ideal after dry thé resin to remove ? 24hours? After is more difficult? Thankks because i have this objetc i dont know what is that before sorry il french
I would do this after 24 hours. Protect the face of your piece when you flip it over. I have done this to pieces over a year old with no problem.
@@ClaraLawrence thanks
Hi what about the sticky in bottom the top cure very nice but some spots bottom tray what do u suggest
Miriam, I've read this a couple of times and not sure what you mean. Can you give me more details and I will try and help.
What do you use if your heat gun doesn’t have that attachment? A regular paint scraper?
Putty Knife works great. I would recommend one with a solid handle to grip and be mindful of not exposing your hand to the direct heat. Heat up your drips with the heat gun, then go in with the putty knife at an angle that matches your surface (horizontal) or slightly above and give it gentle to firm pressure. If it doesn't move, heat up more and try again. You will know when you get the right heat when it almost seems easy to move the blade across the top. Remember those drips go flying and they are hot!
Will this work on a canvas?
Yes, it will. Watch how long you apply the heat and move with more care. Don't want to tear up the canvas. The areas in the corner with folds will be trickier. You can take the bulk off this way and touch it up with sanding. This is what I had to do with mine.
I just use painters tape. The green kind
does heat not damage the resin which is on front side ?? hmmmm...
It will soften the resin just a little bit so you can cut into it and then it hardens up again. I haven't noticed anything with mine. Go slow and steady and let the heat do the work.
Should use blue tape! Then this is not necessary!
or use a router
That long drawn out commentary was unnecessary.
Could have made this a silent 2½ minutes and anyone with a warm beain cell could have figured it out
Have you tried taping the back? I’ve seen videos that say it works.
Yes, that can work too. Challenging if you don't remove the tape immediately. I have several methods of removal. This is only one of them. ruclips.net/video/emgMLZn7K9c/видео.html
Thankyou!!! Did the furniture for my caravan and there were some interesting additions the shape.. Thanks muchly for the save!
