Here are some suggested steps. Remove all the hardware AND electronics. Tape off the neck pocket and all cavities and holes. Basically, anywhere wood and wood touch or wood and plastic or wood and metal screws. Make sure the body is elevated off the table. Do the paint pour or even better do a colored resin pour over flat white or black. If you do a separate resin layer, keep a torch handy to quickly go over any bubbles. The heat will also cause the resin to move faster so be aware of that. Do both sides or support the body on a wire and pour vertically. Let it cure 100%. Reassemble the hardware and electronics making sure to clean up any resin that might have gotten into any of the "No No" areas.
now this would be a video on showing "WHAT NOT TO DO"
BASS player here, on removing plastic like finish: heat gun and wood chisel, goes easy man. Sorry i'm late.... ;)
WOOOW What a result !!! Hydro dip. now THIS!!!
Nice instructive video, thanks !!!
Always remove all electronics before doing any paint
I’m working on a guitar now, I have a few details to go over, but I want to resin both sides. Should I tape off one side, do the resin, let it cure, then tape off the other side and resin??
Of course you made the mistake of rebuilding your guitar prior to adding the resin. I would also suggest that you use a torch to remove any bubbles. You just wave it over the areas that need it because you will burn the resin.

Good idea
sand your clear resin smooth and polish it mate. don't be scared to rip out those electronics either. Good attempt though mate
Pretty cool result. But pouring over the stems of the volume and tone knobs was not a good idea. Probably gonna have to replace those. I would recommend having someone remove those first next time, as well as the pickups, before pouring (and tape up the insides of the slots). And also tape up the sides of the neck pocket, so you'll get the crucial wood-to-wood fit between the neck and body.
Never pour or brush or spray any resin or clear coat with the potentiometer stems still in, they'll lock in place. Always remove all the electronics and hardware, tape off all the cavities and neck pocket.
Sorry but what a mess! Great idea, awful execution...
I think that the imperfections just gave it personality :) looks amazing!
The problem with the resine its probably u didnt clean the acrylic once it was dryed thats why the resine did that little sink holes it happen to me when i resine some paintings but i might do that to my bass too ive got a cheap one to do a project like that 😊 does look awesome i hope u keep that bass 👍
Planning on doing the same on a cheap jaguar bass I love the colours on the back especially, great insight and great job
Great job. The back is absolutely amazing!
It is beautiful! I pour and the next time, before the resin, finish your acrylic pour by using corn starch all over but especially where the silicone is making cells. Wipe it clean with alcohol really well and then you're ready for epoxy. You should not have the uneveness over the cells. Love the colors of your pour.
Love the lime green, nice job
amazing guitar
If you had done the clear coat with the body still disassembled you could have sanded and fixed it and done more clear coats if needed and it would look like a million bucks.
Beautiful! 👍🏻
Great work
Love the colors.
It's beautiful! All about the Bass, Baby!
You know it Cyndee!
Awesome
This is incredible! I want to try this with my bass guitar. How did you colour the resin, and make it separate instead of becoming one mixed colour mess?
Hi Lyle! The clear resin was applied afterwards, on top of an acrylic pour
Isn't it cracking after some time? I think that thick acrylic is not hardened at all. It is still a bit gummy. After you cover it with reisin, is it hard enough?
yes, years later and it's still perfectly hard and complete. of course you should always wait for your paint to completely dry out before applying resin or any other sealant
Woulda, coulda, shoulda just sprayed a urethane coat.
Does the resin add noticeable extra weight ? Also does it change the sound ?
The extra resin added about 10% of the original weight. No noticeable change to the tone, though this is an electric bass and a cheap model
That guitar looks amazing! I was thinking of pour painting my skis. I live in the mountains in Switzerland and it can be difficult to find some of the products. Please can you tell me more about the resin so that I know what to search for. Thanks, Jeni
I would recommend an industrial strength epoxy resin. Epoxy resins are extra durable, so be sure to look for a non-yellowing, industrial strength, clear epoxy resin. I did some searching on Amazon, and this type of resin would be what you need: www.amazon.com/Coloredepoxies-10002-Basements-Concrete-Plywood/dp/B01KX0TK6Q/
Now, that simply has good product features for what you need. I'm not saying you need three gallons of the stuff haha! Look for resins with similar features:
• Industrial grade - not commercial or food grade
• Clear AND non-yellowing so you can preserve your painting's color
• Impact/scratch-resistant
• Rated for outside use
• Non-Sag (Thixotropic) if possible - means you should be able to coat the whole ski at once

Thank you so much for looking into this for me and your advice. I’m wondering whether the layer of paint would actually stay on as I would need to leave the edges free of paint, so there’d. Be a join right on the edge which would possibly be very vulnerable. What do you think? I really enjoy your videos , as you try interesting things. Jeni
those 'inconsistencies' are from the silicone you used in the paint. resin does not 'stick' and creates those craters. next time, no resin.
I like it....what resin did you use and would you use the same thing if doing it again...?
Any self-degassing, self-leveling, non-yellowing, clear resin should do the trick. Resins with those qualities are usually made to protect the surface and color quality of whatever they're covering. The only thing I'd change going back would be to skip the silicone
That is so cool! :) Next up: '70 GTO?
Haha that would be one hell of a fun project!
When you poured the top with paint what did you do to get a good transition on the sides and eliminate the drip globes?
The best way is to sand it off using increasingly fine sanding pads and buffing/polishing pads, otherwise it's going to be near impossible to avoid the globes
Would this work on the surface of, say, a Fender stratocaster, which is smoother and more plasticky?
Yes, but I'd recommend sanding the surface very thoroughly with a medium grit sandpaper. That'll give the paint enough texture to hang on to without deeply gouging lines into the body (like a coarse grit sandpaper is likely to do)
could we use a spray resin or clear coat...would that be smoother....?
I've never personally heard of or used a spray on resin or any spray clear coat that I would trust to protect the paint from all the strumming and wear. It would be smoother, but I don't think it would be strong enough
Beautiful...
I think resin make that bass sound flat... Low quality on tone..
can you please tell me what type of paint you use for this project???
Just your standard acrylic craft paint, probably using Americana brand or Craft Smart brand here
What type of resin do you use
Any resin works, go for self-degassing, non-yellowing resin for the best results.
This paint job could also be covered by two or more coats of a gloss varnish, like Minwax Polycrylic which might be easier to get a smooth finish, but maybe not as hard as resin, but the poly might let the wood ring better? I don't know. Nice video, very well done. Thanks.
An industrial sealer like that would be at least moderately successful in protecting the finish. It really all depends on the picking style of the guitar player and how strong they scratch the body.
Players with good control can get away with lighter sealants, while aggressive strummers are going to need something heavier like resin
what type of resin?
Any 2-part resin with these features will work: non-yellowing, self-levelling, self-degassing, fully transparent. The ebay link to the specific resin brand I bought is dead now and I can't go look it up as a result
What kind of paint did you use?
Hi Syd, love your music! I use Craft Smart (genetic store brand) and Americana brand craft acrylics from Deco Art.
Souffle Art thank you so much! Obviously I’m not actually Syd but I am a guitarist and was planning on a doing a blue version of this to one of my cheaper guitars
Hahaha of course, well best of luck with the pour! Feel free to share any pictures on the Reddit page!
sand and polish it and call it done
How did you avoid a line where the resin in the front meets the resin from the back?
As long as you use the same brand resin for the whole project it should simply bond with itself seamlessly. You can also do the extra mile and sand the resin with increasingly finer grit sandpaper and polishing quality sandpaper to get perfectly smooth, uniform results
@@SouffleArt should I pour the front before the back dries?
Shouldn't make a difference which side you pour first
@@SouffleArt thanks for your time. I guess what I am wondering, as an ex painter, without a wet edge, how do the two sides blend without leaving a big line where the resin cured at different times?
@@SouffleArt I'm doing a red burst strat with basswood on the back and quilted maple top. They are going to give me the extra wood so I guess I can practice.
I think its a beauty because of the imperfections!
What type of paint do you use for these projects?
Any acrylic craft paint should do the trick. I tend to use Craft Smart and Americana brand craft paints
Sorry, if I missed the part where you told us. 😐
No idea if I did haha, nothing wrong with asking!
Gorgeous!!😍😍😍😍
start great but... why
Beautiful art but sloppy musical instrument handling. That bass will never be disassembled again. You must take off everything before pouring the resin.
Sweeeeet colors. Maybe multiple coats of high gloss varnish instead though?
You'll need to reapply something like varnish which can scratch off 27th use. I'd only recommend resin as a permanent finish
@@SouffleArt I assume you've probably messed with all this stuff already and done the trial and error. Haha I know it's not usually stuff that's just sold freely, but there are some solid urethane laquers that are definitely just as hard as acrylic resins. I just coated a dance studio floor with some not too long ago. Super strong and hard. Don't think it'd mess with the soundboard absorbing vibrations to much or be chipping a lot after a while or anything
You know what, fair point! I assumed you were talking about art supplies still, not building supplies. Yeah, a non-yellowing urethane or similar clear coating would also be perfectly fine.
dude you need to pull that crap off and try again
or SAND IT ans SAND IT and SAND IT
did you notice an increase in weight? :)
First, as a positive, I dig the paint job, good job there, but if it was me, i would have taken it to a finisher (sans parts) to spray a finish, or spray with a clear coat, opr do nothing and keep it the way it is-at the very least. The resin looks pretty sloppy, sorry. Good attempt though..
I'd have to agree with you, but I did want to experiment and see how viable it would be for the average person without access to a lot of equipment. My channel is primarily education-focused, not a showcase. So I'd agree! Thanks for the suggestions
Cool painting procedure that can have excellent results. This was not executed very well at all in this video. Very amateur on all levels
Indeed it was, as an experiment to learn and get better, and share the results since I was one of the first people to post a project like this years ago. Hopefully I can attain your level of mastery one day
@@SouffleArt With the lack of common sense you showed on that project I'm highly doubtful you will.
Smart ass....🖕
Not so good man. Not to me anyhow.
