Sealing Wood for Resin Art with Sanding Sealer (How To Stop Epoxy Resin Bleed)

Stopping resin bleeding into the end grain of wood after carving is an important step to get nice clean and sharp transition lines between your coloured epoxy resin and the wood substrate. In this video, I test the Feast Watson Grain Filling Sanding Sealer from Bunnings as a product to assist with this issue on a variety of wood types to see if it is worth the money for this application and how much it can improve your work.
I also do a quick hack check with PVA to see if this cheaper product can yield a similar result.

Such an informative video! Didn’t know this product existed until now! Thanks for sharing!

[@steveruggles4708]

Thank you so much for the tip, this problem has ruined several of my pieces. Cant wait to give this a try. Great tests. Thanks Steve

[@lumberryegy8829]

Thanks for sharing this tips since I’ll start my resin project soon

[@kesna8]

you are the only vid I've found that helps with this! every other vid is about resin river tables or such which does not deal with this kind of resin bleading. this is sooooo helpful for my next project! thank you!

[@BuiltByChris]

Great tip. I’ve actually got a project coming up using resin this way, so your video couldn’t have come at a better time. Thanks James.

[@theskuta77]

Another great video mate.

[@matthewjonkman4024]

Exactly the video I was looking for! Thanks

[@o.g.bwoodwork]

Great tests! I never knew that bleed would be an issue. Great to know.

[@MakeThings]

What a difference sealing makes...great overall test.

[@CommercialForest]

It’s amazing how just taking that one extra step can make such a difference in the final product. Just a little bit of resin leak really makes a project look amateurish even if everything else is 💯

Just the information I was looking for, thanks. Subscribed!!

Great video mate. I am in the process of building a recycled wood computer desk for my Son which will have a resin feature in it. I'm glad I watched this before starting the resin work. Good job, thank you. Subbed. All the best, Brian.

Good tip, I've also seen people use clear epoxy for the same reason. I'm guessing sanding sealer would be the cheaper and easier option. Thanks for sharing 👍
