Applying the Resin

  1. Lay out all the paintings to wear resin.
  2. Place paper underneath each peice.
  3. Make sure there is no debris on the paintings and the paintings are dry.
  4. Make sure you have enough resin to completely cover each painting with a good thick layer.
  5. Have a heat gun near by for the bubbles.
  6. Wear gloves and have some paint stir sticks around.

 This is me in my messy studio.  Applying resin is a lot of work. To complete 3 paintings it takes me about 2.5 hours to layout the resin, spread it evenly and make sure all the bubbles are blown out.

The resin brings the paint back out of the wood and provides great protection to all the mixed media in the artwork.
