 Video Friday, with Art Resin. Hey, it's Friday, it's Video Friday. So today I am going to talk about how to mount a print onto a wood panel. So we've got a couple of types of wood panels here. One is like this. You can find easily in any art supply store. And we've also got our Art Resin wood panel. And this one's a little bit different. It's a cradle. It's got a lip in here. So I'm going to show you both ways. OK, so let's start with the wood panel here. So you can use, obviously you need a glue to mount your print. You can use a spray adhesive or you can use a glue stick with this kind of panel. The important thing with this one though is to make sure that you get glue all the way evenly. The edges are so important. You want to get the entire thing covered in glue, but pay particular attention to the edges. And the other way is if you're going to use a spray adhesive, now this is a really handy way to do it. It just takes all the guesswork out of it. You can line your print up on your wood panel and then clamp it with one of these clamps. I have a piece of watercolor paper here to protect my print from the clamp. And then you're going to spray. You're going to lift up half the print and you're just going to spray. And then what you're going to do is take a piece of paper to protect your print and then this thing here. This is a brayer. And you can find this in art supply stores. It's used for making lino prints. So this is really handy. I've used a rolling pin as well. I'm not going to lie, but this is really easy, a brayer. Protect your print here and then just roll. And you want to pay particular attention again to the edges. So nice even pressure. Make sure that the print bonds to your wood panel. So that's one way of doing it if you're working on a wood panel. So now we've got our wood panel here. Now this one's a little bit different. As I said, it's got the lip here. So essentially your print is going to be sitting in a pool of resin really. So you can use a glue stick for this one, but it's really, really important that you cover every square inch of the wood panel with glue. You don't want any areas where the print is not bonded to the wood because you don't want the resin going underneath and then soaking it from underneath. I really prefer using the spray. Again, just spray it on. And then I'm not using it because the stuff is super sticky. So remember to use gloves as well when you're using this spray here because you don't want your hands full of glue and then you touch your print. You can start with the edge close to you. So when you're happy you've got it in the right position, then just lay it down like that. And again, we're going to get our brayer tool. We're going to get a piece of paper. And then we're just going to roll nice even pressure to make sure that it's really, really bonded. There's no air pockets. Now because of this lip here, you can't get quite to the edge. So I really like to get a little spatula or you can use a plastic takeout knife as well. And then just apply nice even pressure all the way around. That way you're going to make sure that the print is really, really, really stuck to this wood panel. And then you're going to leave it to dry. So just follow the directions on the can of adhesive that you have. If you want to be on the safe side, which I usually like to do, I glue it one day and then I resin it the next just to make sure that glue is super dry. And once it is, then you're good to resin. So that's it. That's your tip for today. Join us next week. Video Friday with our resin. It's a duet. Yes. I think that's over.
