 Hello invisible internet friends. Today I'm going to do a very quick video. We are going to set up a photograph so that everything is perfect and ready for the art resin. And here's the art resin. This is the 32 ounce kit. I'll be using that in the follow-up video. Okay let's go. Black acrylic paint. Acrylic dries really fast as opposed to oil. I like using acrylic for everything. Rebecca likes to use oil because she finds she can blend better. So it's really a preference but for the edges I just want something that dries really fast and the method that I'm using we're going to be covering the edges with a bit of art resin anyways. It's going to look awesome with the resin over top of the edges. So I was putting it on thick. I'll just do one coat and yes I'm working very very fast. We have a new baby at home. Been a bit crazy and if you get any on the top doesn't matter. The photograph is going to be glued down there anyways. All right and that'll probably be dry in 10 minutes. Let me grab the photo. So this is the painting I've been working on for about a year and actually I just got to print it at Walmart. One hour just costs five bucks. You don't got to be too fancy here. Let's see how it looks okay. All right so here we are. I'm just going to go over the tool as quick while the edges are drying. I always used to just use glue sticks for this. That's fine. The odd time you get some chunks. If it's not perfect this day don't worry. Just do the art resin coat over top and that'll hide all the imperfections of your mail. So what I do now this is what is taught by my friend Ron Smith. A photographer who does a lot of this stuff. 3M Super 77. It's a spray adhesive and you can get it at the hardware store. Two clamps just with some clean plastic top just to clamp the picture on when it's in place. You'll see. Brayer. You can get it in the in the print making section of art stores. We'll sell these on artresons.com soon. It's an extra piece of paper and you'll see why. That's bigger than your the size of your print and then an exacto knife just to trim the edges after it's done. Okay so let me go get that. So here's our canvas. Here's our print. Printed to the size of the canvas. Perfect so here's the little trick. You get the print exactly where you'd like it then you just lamp it in place. Doesn't have to be too hard. It looks like you should wear a respirator with this. I'm gonna hold my breath. With art resin you don't need a respirator anymore. It's super safe. I got an OVOC. I've worked for three years to find a safe epoxy resin that is clearer than anything that I've ever seen. So we're just gonna spray. Plenty. This is where this paper comes in hand. Put it over top and this way when you brayer out all the bubbles sometimes when you go along the edge you pick up a little line of glue and then you'd end up putting that all over everything. So there's that side done so just release these and then lift up that side. Spray and push out. Simple eh? Perfect. Also the edges get a bit sticky in the spray. That's fine the art resin will cover it. Just gonna flip it upside down for a really sharp exacto knife. There's just a tiny bit of overhang so I'm just cutting the paper. So there it is. This one is ready. Once I resin it is gonna be on Dragon's Den. It's gonna be one of the props that we actually use. Now we're ready to apply the art resin. To end this video we'll just kind of go over some supplies so that you can get them ready. You want something to raise your piece up on so that the art resin will just drip right off the surface and this won't get stuck to the bottom. You want to level. If it's not level you know shove some little papers underneath your pieces. Nitrile gloves. Nitrile is important for using resins. We sell these on the site. Probably go through three of these. Take them off truck them. A spreader, a stir stick and a mixing cup. And you can reuse them just by wiping them with paper towel after and letting the epoxy just curate to it. Same with the spreaders and the stir sticks. Flombate torch. It's not necessary but lots of professionals are using it. It makes 100% sure that every single bubble comes out. Now the bubbles will pop on their own. Now another way is as you see the bubbles you can just blow on top of it and the bubbles will go away. Use a straw. I suggest the torch but not necessary. And then last but not least your art resin. Two-party boxy resin. All the instructions are online art resin.com. We have a big FAQ. We have lots of other sample videos and then email us if you have any questions. Every month we'll be picking someone who uses the hashtag art resin on anything that they put art resin on. So just post it to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, whatever you like to use and we have some software that will randomly pick one person a month. They will be sent a free one gallon studio kit. So anyways that's going on forever. So as you do stuff, yeah hashtag art resin and I'm going to come back and I'll show you how to pour resin on top of your Mona Lisa or whatever you're doing. Cool. Thanks for watching. Thanks for all the nice people out there who say nice things. I love talking to and meeting artists and seeing what everyone's doing because there's so much creativity out there and it's what the world needs. More artists. Okay. Love you guys. Bye-bye.
