 Okay. Here we go. People have been asking, how do we prep our boards or canvases? This is basically the same thing, whether it be wood or canvas. This is the only thing you guys need. You've got to get some flat acrylic white house paint or whatever color you want your base to be, unless you just want to prep this. I would definitely prep the white first and then paint it in color. Or if you have a color house paint you want, you can use that as well for the background. So we're just going to use white for today. Rollers, hold it on. It's a tape. What you're going to want to do is take all the land off this guy. I'll show you how to do that. Second, we need 220 and 400 sandpaper. That's it. What you want to do is get the 220 first, fold it, fold it in half, and then this is a little did you know kind of thing. Take a rag, fold it. This is about as big as your sandpaper when you fold it in half. Now what this does is you're saving all this sandpaper from being used. Because when you sand, these two touch, and you're sanding and sanding, and then if you ever notice, it's always smooth on this side because you fold it in half. That friction is there. So what you want to do is you can feel, you can feel that there's some sort of texture. I wouldn't do, I would just lay it on with all four fingers here. Put your thumb underneath this so that you have an equal pressure on the sandpaper. What you're going to do is just do a circle for the whole thing. Now I would not suggest doing this on your table that you are going to be putting resin on. I would do it away from your resin table because there is going to be sand dust and all that stuff that you can see here. But you can feel, you don't have to do it a lot. You're just knocking down some high points. You definitely don't feel it. Oh yeah, you do need a rag with some alcohol just so you can kind of wipe off the sanding dust. Soaking it, you're just taking it to where you can wipe that off. I suggest using a clean rag. Just for you guys. You can feel it already. You can feel that it's a lot smoother. If you like, you can take your 400. You'll definitely be able to hear the difference as well when you do this 400. It's a little softer, not so coarse. You're just barely putting pressure. You're not trying to make any marks off. Now what you do is take your tape because these are a lot of the... Unless you get a Mac 3, which I do believe they sell those. What you're going to do, that doesn't take off any lint, any loose hairs that you guys will have. Now be friendly with your tape. You did get some new tape that will definitely be showcasing you in the next day or so. That's amazing in this company. Basically it's a tape that will stick to pretty much anything. You can do this and you'll get lint and it will still be nice and sticky. It blows my mind. That's another thing. So, now that you've done that, you've got your Mac 3. What you do is just take your white tape. You definitely want to get a good amount on here because you're filling in all these little holes. That's what you said. The resin loves to find all these little holes in the wood. Don't be stingy with your tools. Get your sides, which you probably would want to do just because you're going to paint it as well. Get your heat gun out. Or hair dryer. Put your tape up. Alright, now that that is dry. Take your 220. That side. Do the same side. You can feel it. You can hear that. Paint gives it a little texture. It's not necessary, but I do it every single time because I like it smooth. And I think that it probably helps the resin. If you're doing tilts, you don't get these little lines in your resin when it's... because it'll catch onto the little raised paint, I guess, but I'm not sure what they're called. But I would definitely hit it with 220. And again, you can hear it. You can hear the difference as your sanding is how rough. This is unsanded. And this is sanded. There's a big difference. You just want that extra little, not texture sound. You don't have to sand it a lot because that sandpaper will not get right down. Get your rag. This has alcohol on it. In case you sprayed something in the air, you definitely can make sure it comes on there. 400 next. There's a light circle there as well. You can totally feel the difference. But it's such a big difference. If you feel any... Any place you may have, you just take your sandpaper. 400, you're just going to lightly hit the spot. A lot of times, you'll feel them on the edges. You just want to be very careful. Because when the sandpaper hits that edge, it will definitely... It'll go through that paint and down to your canvas or your wood. Especially if wood because it's a different color. So just be very careful on the edges. If you want, you can do another coat if you want. With a canvas, I suggest you do two coats. Definitely do two coats. And then after you're done doing that, after you're done with all the coats and sanding, I would let it set for, I don't know, an hour or so. Just so it's completely dry. The edges are dry. If you want, you can also sand the sides. That's up to you. I guess it depends on what you're going to be doing with the sides. And then when you are ready to pour, what you do is get your tape. You see here, I'm going to focus. Alright. Give it a leave. There, off. Now what I normally like to do is keep it all in the same direction as you're laying it down. Which means when you apply it, don't put a piece here. And then you put it here. And then you put it here. And then you want to put it here. You're most likely going to run into trouble peeling it off. This will come off in this piece, but then you have this piece. So this piece, this will come off. This is not endless. So what I like to do is just do it all in one direction. Seeing it off the side, all you do is just pull it off. So what I mean by all in one direction is when you take the tape off, it all just comes off at one time. So everybody's seen what it's like trying to take off the tape when it's overlapped in the wrong direction. No fun. This is what I mean by making sure it's all in the same direction. Take this piece, your very first piece. Peel it up. And what you're going to do is put a little tap here so that it's not sticking. So it'll kind of help you start to peel it up. Make sure this is down. Make sure it's all in the same cover. And put this fourth piece underneath your first piece. And then this piece will overlap. So then when you're ready to untape it, all you do is you just tape it. I guess it depends on when you take the tape off. And I guess it depends on what kind of resin that you're using. But normally after, I would say, three or four hours, three or four hours is good. And then obviously you're not going to want to lay it flat. You'll probably have to ask somebody to help you. Just to hold it. When the heat got in, you're just going to hit it right along that edge. And it should come right up. That's what worked for us in the past. What you want to do is just take your knife. Just cut those spots off. Make sure it's all snug. And then you have your pet's bottom ready to pour.
