 All right, so this is what you need to finish the back of your piece if it's a piece of wood or a canvas it's basically all the same you can get a little a little more aggressive with with a piece of wood or a cradleboard because it's wood and you're not gonna really damage it too bad but like with the canvas when you do you have to be careful not to hit go too much and hit the canvas or it'll rip and that's not good so with this is what you need just get it you a block some 80 grit some very aggressive sandpaper because you don't want to take a lot of time on knocking these little guys down you don't have to the the spray adhesive is for to spray on here so that you're when you put your sandpaper on it doesn't go anywhere nice and nice and steady or not steady what is the word I don't know so it doesn't move around on you I'm not I'm not wording right today and the black is the paint the back and thank you to Ms. Laura Taylor she got me this volatile paint it is amazing I'm not a fan of their caps it doesn't spray very smooth so I like to get this thin cap I want to call it a German skinny because back in the day they were gray and they looked just like this and that's what they called them so I just call them a German then I'm not for sure what their name of it is but it's it's a very nice you can get a very nice I'll demonstrate here after I prep this but what you do just take your that's not gonna matter just take your spray adhesive and just spray a little bit on your on your piece of wood here let it sit for a second get some air to it it gets sticky and if you want you could you could probably just put this on here and then cut it to size but you can have all sides around so you have a nice little edge here flat flat so you just hold it so then you take your piece find all your little above guys just give it some pressure and you can see it you can see you can tell it's getting knocked down if you want so that you know that you're not damaging your your piece you could actually take tape and just put it all on here this is this was a quick set by Stone Coat and it is very solid I'm confident that it won't be scratched unless you can have something down here you could probably get like a towel and put it down there or you can just get a like this and then that way all the dust you definitely definitely know it's not gonna be scratched so do that cut it down pretty quick I hope I'm not covering that up I think that is touching you could also use a hand sander even 60 would probably work a little better but you just want to get it knocked down not necessarily has to be flush you just want those little bumps to go away very unattractive there's so many tries to frame and it could be lopsided this piece you most likely have to frame or float whichever you prefer move over so you don't you've already used that these guys are this resin is tough you guys have to try this quick set by Stone Coat it is truly a very nice material you have about 15 to 20 minute working time depending on your temperature your location it sets up nice and fast and shiny stuff is perfect for geodes if you're making small geodes for multi layer and you know you can make five or six layers in one day if you wanted probably gonna fast forward this part so here you go now that you have your drips sanded off it's pretty good you can still feel them but it's no biggie nobody's gonna see the back of it this just makes it all look nice and it's like when you get a new pair of shoes and the bottom looks nice nobody sees the bottom but they still put some put some work in it so it looks nice you could do that to the edge you could sand the edge if you want but unless you plan on painting it which wouldn't be a bad idea for a small piece like this but if you use this 80 you definitely want to go hit it with the 120 and then possibly like a 2 to a 4 to make it a lot smoother if you're not gonna put another flood coat over it and you just got to be careful when you're standing these edges don't go up too high or you'll hit you'll hit your painting here so that's up to you if you want to sand these edges I'm just gonna knock this down a little bit this is a pretty small piece and I'm not kicking up too much of this dust too much of this resin dust so if you are doing it with a hand sander sander you definitely want to wear a mask a respirator I'm just slowly getting these getting these off so you don't have too much kicking up let's just smooth this out so it looks nice so let's wipe all this dust off nice and clean you don't want to put any you want to paint this with dust on it or it won't stick or it'll just look bad so take your rag and lay it flat you can if you want so you know you're not going to get any overspray let's do it like this just take your piece and this is a good thing too you should already have it take off so that you don't you know worry about scratching your piece but I'd already put that rag down there so make it to where it overlaps just like that so when you spray it you can get this side if you want if not you don't you don't have to worry about it this way you don't have to worry about overspray getting on your piece and if you guys missed this video on how to do a flood coat on a piece check out that video on a flood coat right now you have your order so you have to worry about any overspray getting on your piece I'm just going to show you the difference in this spray paint make sure you're ventilated and wear a respirator when you do spray paint okay so this is with their stock tip here let's do this this piece of wood is a shelf to these to these shelves they have here at the south side that are like at least a hundred years old like apparently people keep walking off with them it's not it's not very nice so this is the stock tip stock tip and check this out you can get these at local graffiti shops like smoke shops normally have graffiti supplies you can get them online I just saw bombing science has everything graffiti related like you can just tell right there like look at that check this out how amazing is that you didn't even see that that was a fail you can see that there stock tip graffiti tip I wasn't paying attention all right so now let's paint this and if you want you can use different colors no biggie I just like to use black because the edges are black on this piece and it just kind of fades right in can't tell but if you like you can put some color in there that matches the background or that matches the actual piece and that way it looks nice paint these edges and there you go let's see get some gold in there just let people know that you definitely take pride in your work front and back this is Montana gold this is probably some of the best gold you can get on the market and it if your surface is smooth enough it will be shiny like this like it's a mirror finish who sent this to us these big old these big old cans of Montana they sent us four of them yeah yeah and corpi she was awesome thanks for that we still use it you can just like spray a little like just give you a little hint of some some gold there you go now your back looks nice get the heat gun out give you some heat this is the heat gun that we use here all the items I've used in this video will be down in the description box point point point down there and now if you like you can take a gold paint pen or something a white paint pen put a little message on the back you can sign it on the back there are the front whichever you prefer stuff this small I normally sign on the back I don't like to take up you know too much room for something unless the client says I would love your signature on the front they got little tiny paint pens to do tinier signatures let's see here where's mine we got this one we use these pin touch gold this is a fine tip they actually have extra fine tip as well for little bitty pieces of art and I can when you sign it on the back it doesn't really matter which way however you want to you know you can right here if the person wants to they can hang it whichever way they feel which they like so your signatures on the front so it's not upside down or sideways or something so I'm just gonna go ahead and do a ATD and there you go voila have a good day y'all
