Often we may get some blemishes in our resin work, usually dust, hair, bubbles, or bald spots. This video shows you how to fix these problems in cured resin pieces.

You will need:

Gloves
Respirator
Tape
Level
Sand paper
Paper towels
Water
Isopropyl alcohol
Compressed air or dry, clean paint brush
Resin

I use KS Resin for its UV protection and heat resistance (especially for coasters/trivets)

For a discount on KS resin, use coupon code: LOLLI

Also keep safety in mind when using resin. Wear a respirator and gloves; work in a well-ventilated area; don’t scorch or burn your resin with a torch or hot gun as this is not only a fire/burn hazard, but also it releases toxic fumes. Protect your surface and don’t wear “good clothes”. Do not touch hot resin with your hands, gloved or bare. Read and follow all instructions that come with your resin. Ensure that your work surface and curing area is level.

    I'm new at Epoxy, and I'm making dominoes for each family we visit for the holidays, OMG, I just cleaned up such a MESS! And I demolded my mother in law's domino box, and it's got divots in areas where the resin didn't take in the mold... corners were left with pockets of air. I'm up to my ears in resin, glitter, and pigments all over my kitchen!! I tried to dome a box lid, walked away, and came back to the lid sitting in a big sticky puddle all over the heating mat. I didn't know I needed a respirator until after about a week into these projects. I'm not sure how to fill these divots in the corners of the boxes, little empty spaces on nearly every corner! I used Let's Resin molds and JDiction resin in hopes of avoiding some of the troubleshooting problems in YouTube tutorials. Ya'll make it look so EASY that I figured I could manage just a few holiday gifts... 🤯 I'm overwhelmed!!!

  • I would use the respirator while sanding also. That dust is not good to inhale! Also is it better to use a higher grit with the sand paper?

    hi lolli if my words help i am happy good art is hard to achieve and knowladge is always good , I like to be perfect in all i do but using hobby stores and art shops is expensive they sell good products but they source them from manufaturers that we can access as well hence i go direct to them and save moneyi can double my volume this way then its up to the individual to test and trial spec sheets and comunication with the manufactures will produce results. good to see your videos make more but try to find the non smelly products they dont stink the house out , i dont know how to communicate other than comments as i would forward you some contacts and products as i say i live in England but have used a Irish company in past.

  • Is there a way to fix a painting with one low spot out redoing the entire painting?
  • I sanded and still see air bubbles. I am worried if I sand too much I will mess up the canvas. What do you suggest? The air bubbles are not above the surface they are below.

    Hi, new resin person here- I have created a ledge area on my resin- the cover touched it. I’ve sand about half of it down and the rest of the painting- if I pour again can I pour a little heavier where I made this mistake? Help please Susan
  • @QNICORN79
    Can you use tape to remove the dust and grit?
