    Thanks for that, Sara. I was using the liquitex straight from the bottle. I have not watered it down. I will do that in the future. I prefer my paintings to have a satin finish. I am not a fan of a high gloss finish, but I can see that some works would require it.

    thank you Sarah for your great tutorial video. I paint primarily on large tiles and I have learned I need to heat the tiles as well as warming up the resin they need to be pretty much the same temperature ., especially in winter 70 f works great for me on both tile and resin. I ruined a few tiles before I knew that by applying warm resin to a cold tile left me with lots of empty spaces of resin on the tile I'm really laughing right now haha!!!! but some light sanding then a second coat usually took care of that problem. now that I know the little trick of having the tiles and the resin around the same temperature I only need one coat of resin yay that saves a lot of money there! I have tried four different resins and the best one I have used is from Lowe's and it's called famo wood glaze coat high gloss crystal clear finish , one coat is equal to about 70 coats of varnish! and it's very affordable! and self levels better than any resin I've ever used . I hope this helps a bit :)

      Thanks for the tip! I have use their product and I agree it’s really great quality. I will say, a lot of these companies say no VOC, I think that goes out the window as soon as you put in the heat to the resin. I don’t know any other way to get the air bubbles out other than heat, and I know it releases fumes. We don’t want our health at risk, I wear a ventilator when working with Resin personally.😁❤️🙏

    I love the beautiful tiles Katy painted and her colors are gorgeous and will pop out with the Stone Coat Resin. You are such a good role model wearing your mask while working with the resin. The Satin finish you applied
    to your colorful painting looked so easy to do and not as intimidating as Resin looks to be. You made the Resin application look easy. Do you usually always seal your paintings as a general rule?

    I did some ceramic coasters recently for two clients and on all of the coasters, the resin pulled away from the edges. I had to sand and apply another coat. I wanted to cry. I think I might try the varnish you use because resin and I do not get along.

    • @SaraTaylor
      @SaraTaylor  Год назад

      That's a great idea! The one nice thing about resin is that it’s food grade and you can place hot beverage on the coaster. That would not be the case with the varnish.

    • @SaraTaylor
      @SaraTaylor  Год назад +1

      May I also suggested the paint may be did not hear well enough before you apply the resin? Especially with a thicker consistency you wanted to cure for at least 3 to 4 weeks. It’s possible that there was still moisture in the paint, and that caused the resin to pull.

    • @valariedavis4862
      @valariedavis4862 Год назад

      @SaraTaylor  Год назад

      I think cloudy spot usually appear where the resident was possibly too thick or if it was overworked. You can go over it with another coat that might resolve the issue or you could potentially consider using resin that would finish the painting well.

You were literally the first pour artist that left me with my mouth agape, my mind's eye WIDE open, and my resolve in this art form stronger than Excaliber's stone. I do have one question though, how long does it take between coats before I can add a second? Does adding water change that time at all? The spray varnish tip is a game changer IMO, so thank you so much for that! And The Cure is.. There are no words, breathtaking is not enough.💗💗💗

      As far is the drive time, I think it actually varies a lot based on climate and temperature. You just wanna be sure it’s dry to the touch before you add an additional coat. I do love the Kamar varnish for the fact that it really helps seal in the color pigment. You don’t necessarily need it with just acrylics, but it helps so much with the primary elements to keep them from bleeding.

      I have not used it, I think as long as it says somewhere on it that it’s non-yellowing it will not change over time. As long as you like the way it goes on in the finish that’s great. Some varnishes are considered archival and some are not. I think it’s far is longevity just keep your eye on that and what is stated on the labels.

    Thanks for posting this up but you seem to misunderstand what kind of PPE is needed for paint and other organic vapors.
    First off, I'm an RN. I wear masks almost everyday in the hospital as the pts I handle are typically higher acuity. More often than not, someone on the unit will be a combination COVID/SARS/Influ positive. For that I wear the hospital approved N95s which is the Western standard. I believe KN95's is the SE Asian standard - which actually has a stricter/better set of criteria and is subsequently a better filtering mask. Both are great at handling actual particulate matter.
    That said, N95s and KN95s are NOT appropriate for handling organic vapors you find when working with paint thinners, aerosols, MEK etc. They do nothing to stop organic vapor from passing through to the lungs. This requires the use of a paint respirator with the appropriate vapor cartridge. You will need something like a 3M Paint Respirator with organic/P95 cartridge installed.
    The N95/KN95 does NOTHING to protect you against vapors. Those vapors are simply going right through the masks. Get a bottle of rubbing alcohol and take a good smell of the bottle with the KN/N95 and you'll be able to smell it. That means the vapor is going right through. Those masks were never designed for that.
