I’m not panicking
Thank you for your help. I just poured two beautiful "tacky" plaques. Thanks to your instructions, I did not panic, I know how to handle the situation.
One of many~ I can’t thank you enough. Huge emphasis on the “Don’t panic.” LOL. I also work on a few pieces at once and have been avoiding on fixing the ones with sticky spots. You gave great pointers though and make the process seem less troubling than I thought. Today’s the day I fix them! Thank you🎨💖
so glad to hear someone say the issues from to much colorant. I try to tell people but just get told it wrong constantly and that could not possibly have effected their resin.. art resin is my favoritethoughstruggling to find a supplier right now. miss you !!
Thank you sooo much! You're a great instructor, especially for newbies!!
Thank you so much for this, I made a birthday for a loved one with resin and I noticed it was tacky all through and thought I was going to have to throw it out and restart, but now I do not need to!
Thanks for the info!!! So next time I know! Because I trashed mine... So frustrated! I'm so happy to have found you! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for having such a compassionate and soothing intro to this wonderful tutorial. I was very panicked and you calmed me right back down and taught me how to confidently fix a sticky situation.
I put resin on glass table,2 weeks past but it is stil tacky not sticky. But in the bottle where i mixed resin was dried after 24 hours . What should I do with my tacky work??? Put on it new resin mixture without sanding ?
Wow appreciate how this video is also super real when the third one needs a second fix!
This is so helpful!! I thought I was gonna have to trash my piece because of tacky spots. Can't wait to fix it now!!
Thank you for this. I got in too big of a hurry last night and today its sticky and a bit runny. I'm glad you posted this video so I can fix it. And next time...I will not be in such a rush!!!
Excellently clear and direct to the point. Brilliant. Thank you.
I am glad that I ran across your video because it helped me so much finally somebody tells you exactly what to do and it was so simple thank you great job
I can't thank you enough, I got into resin a couple months ago, and I started working on bigger pieces like ashtrays and have noticed, the alchol inks don't cure right. I also had the sticky issues #2 that you went over in this video. I was panicking that after 2 days my mold was still sticky! Now I'm not.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am still new to resin craft and have had problems with tacky resin. Now I know what to do!
You don't know how this really encouraged me to see you having to do it again even after fixing it, thank you for your sincerity
I was definitely panicking !!! Thank you so much for your tips and help
Thank you so much for this video! I just made my very first resin tray and it was tacky.... now not only do I know why but I also know how to fix it! Yes!!
Thank you so kindly for this video. I get so discouraged when my pieces are tacky (usually jewelry or key chains) and feel it’s ruined. You give me hope. 🙏🏼🥰👌🏼
If you follow her saying it's ok to put resin over uncured resin it will make someone sick. The uncured layer will never cure and will seep out and make the person very sick as uncured epoxy is extremely toxic.
I just wanna say that I love these videos! Sometimes videos made by the company can come across overly manufactured or make it seem like nothing ever goes wrong with a product. These videos are great at not only addressing what can go wrong but also how to fix them. And they also talk to you like you're an actual consumer and not like you're someone watching an ad for the product.
Thank you ❤️ We love hearing this feedback!!
I just faced this issue , thank you for being so clear and helpful.
Great tips! Thank you for the tutorial! I’ve experienced runny and sticky resin so this will definitely help!
Thank you so much, You made my day. One of my first projects was a narrow wooden tray
That I put Beautiful Jeweled Butterflies on, and after several days it was tacky. Luckily I liked it so much that I kept it. I just carefully measured & mixed more resin and just repoured it and put it to dry. thanks again
Thank you so much for all the important information you provided!
Hi. I have started working with resin for the first time, I have seen a lot of tutorials so that I could work with it. I made some mistakes as doing a large project 😱 and first the top section was brilliant , it was clear and looked really good, I then did some sides and it ran over the top piece which then left sticky patches, and have to admit I panicked and thought I had ruined the whole project, but seeing this video I can have some hope of recovering the whole thing. Thank you from a beginner 😊
I'm new to resin as well and seeing how forgiving it is and how most issues can be fixed makes me a little less nervous about completely messing up and wasting product
One of the best videos i have ever watched on CZcams. Your suggestion "Dont Panic" was way more encouraging, the three situations and their solutions were well explained.
I have tried my resin for first time and they r sticky and i left them because i didn't know what to do to settle them.
Thanks for your video explanation, i will try to fix them now . ❤
*Bravo* et merci pour toutes ces précieuses informations. Je partage dans mon groupe car je reçois beaucoup de questions à ce sujet. 👏🏽😉
I was watching a couple of videos how to get rid of sticky resin because my projects always get sticky even after curing for 24 hours. And now id finally find the one video id like to try to fix my projects. Thank you! I hope my projects could still be saved
I think you CAN DO IT! At least try. I threw away so many, and now I wish I had not. Maybe I could have saved some. You CAN DO IT!
I am doing fiberglass and this may be different but...can you add more hardener and fix the goop or is it just gonna stay messed up.
What a wonderful helpful video! I've not yet begun my resin crafting as I am new to it and wanted to watch as much as I can to try to avoid many of the pitfalls. I don't expect it will go perfectly, but had I found sticky spots or tacky or uncured resin I would have felt most disheartened. This video was so well explained and so well shown that I feel confident that if/when it happens to me I will know how to fix the problem without panicking. Thank you so much. I'm very grateful. 💜🙏
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback Shauna! Good luck to you and please reach out with any questions along the way :)
This is one of the best videos on this issue. I work with resin and I have had this problem a few times. Thank you
Thanks Brittany, glad it was useful!
THANK YOU!!!!! I have had tacky and the mixed finish problems before and DID NOT know about NOT SCRAPING as you pour!! Soooo obvious now. Thanks for showing all the steps!
You should always finish your mix in a separate clean cup and scrape the sides of the first cup into the second cup and finish mixing for another 2-3 minutes. She isn't even giving proper mixing instructions
This is how I mix my resin and I scrape my sides out to not waste my resin and because I finish in a second clean cup, I have zero unmixed epoxy.
You should also NEVER add a new layer over uncured epoxy as it will seep through and make someone sick. If there's sticky spots scrape/sand them out or strip the piece, it will never cure and is extremely toxic.
@@JuiceBoxx_627 Yes, you can certainly measure in separate cups then pour into another to mix. It is always important to ensure you are mixing 1:1 and ensuring you are getting all the resin and hardener fully incorporated.
@@JuiceBoxx_627 When faced with wet resin that didn't cure, it is important to scrape off all of the wet resin as Joanne demonstrates in this video. Once the loose wet ArtResin has been removed, you can then go ahead and pour on a second layer of perfectly mixed ArtResin. You are correct in noting it is important to remove the wet resin since it will never cure and will end up seeping out, but I am happy to tell you that ArtResins formula is non-toxic 🙂
I wish I knew this before throwing away some good pieces. Even after sanding I panicked with the scratches and thought it was too destroyed to fix. But I’m glad I know now for future dilemmas 😃
hello may i know how to sanding resin? i am making a resin art. but turns out that some part is thinner than other part. and now it is fully dried. may i know how to fix them? i hope anyone can help me🥺🙏🏻
thank you for this. the assurance of "dont panic" had me 😊
Thank you. Great teacher and explained very well.
Thank you so very MUCH!!! I believe what I did was I mixed too much paint and did not know it!!!! THANKS AGAIN!! This was my first time working with resin so I should do better next time!!!
Thank-you so much for all this great information. One of my mistakes was measuring by weight instead of volume. Thanks again!!!
Hi. I mix 5ml and 5 ml
So thts wrong
I am someone trying resin for the very first time and I am really thankful that I came across this vedio. Thank you so so much for sharing this ❤ you saved me.
Thank you thank you. You saved my hand painted tumbler, Christmas gift.
I'm building a kayak but this sure helped me. Thank you , your a sweetheart.
Great info.thank you I learned a"little something"
Thank you so much for this...I wish a saw it a few years ago 😆 very helpful
Thank goodness for this tutorial! I was totally clueless about fixing sticky resin but now I feel confident to tackle it. Time to get crafty! 🎨👩🎨
So glad you found this helpful!
This video was so helpful. I’m feeling so light. Was distressed about the sticky resin since 2 day’s.
What great information. I have just started using resin. I made a geode 1 year ago and it's still tacky and some runny spots. I will try your methods and see how it turns out. Thanks Leta from Canada
After making it and it is wet....can you add more hardener to fix it or does it just stay wet and messy?
Thank you so much for this video and information. I was on my third coat because of bubbles and uneven coverage on the edges of my canvas. I don't know what I did wrong, but I have a runny mess of uneven resin! In tears (my first commission piece that came out beautiful 😭😫) I actually had 2 canvas' I resined at the same time. So it's obvious I mixed something wrong. I ran off the runny resin with hopes of it drying by morning. After seeing this video, I highly doubt it will cure, but now know I can probably fix the problem! Thank you again for this wonderful video! I'm going to "try" to 😊! If I do fix it...I will come back here and let you know! 🐇💗
I know it can be devastating but sticky or uncured resin is very fixable :) good luck!
That must be the BEST job getting to play w/resin making awesome creations for this company!😊 That's what I'd love to do!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I kept thinking I was doing it all wrong..was just about to give but your video helped me. I'll give it a go again and hope for the best
I cannot thank you enough for this! I did my countertops and the temperature dropped that night. It got too cold to properly set, and I thought my countertops were ruined!
Just want to let anyone reading these comments that this video was the most helpful video I've watched. I've had each of these issues. I always come back here to check. Just thought I'd put my two cents in just in case you are panicking or hesitant to do exactly what she told you to do. DO EXACTLY WHAT SHE SAYS!!! 😊. She will also get back to you quickly if you leave a question. I am just very appreciative to have people like her around when I need them and when I was in a panic. Don't Panic! It works! 😊🐇💗
We are so glad that you find the video helpful :)
. I think she is the most consice speaker that I have seen.
I am really over people who faff on about themselves. Groan.
Thank you so much this was a great and helpful video
Thank you for sharing this important tips about Resin .it is very much appreciated
When she said don’t panic I felt that 😪💜
GORGEOUS!❤
You go girl, thanks for the entertaining effective clearly understandable help.
That's perfect explanation,👌👌 thank you so much for this help🙏🙏
Thank you for this information. I thought I was going to have to through away one of my best acrylic pours. Now I have hope!
Does the 6% additive apply to any additive? Mica, powdered milk etc, as well as liquid colorant? Thanks!
Great video, thanks for that! Just curious though, when you say tacky, is that the same as sticky? I've got a piece that has some pretty thick resin, and the very top of it is left sticky. now it has finger prints and dust debris build up. Should I just clean it with the alcohol, then sand it with 80 grit, and do another pour after the bad part is gone?
Yes exactly! Sticky=tacky :) You'll want to remove any debris and poor over it. If is sticky there will be no need to sand, the next layer of resin will adhere right to it!
@@Artresin Much appreciated, thanks a lot!
Great trouble shooting video. Well explained and demonstrated.
Art is always full of surprises best to be prepared esp if you can possibly save your piece.
Thanks for this great video, your pleasant personality made what could have been a dry technical video very interesting and feel doable ( don’t panic! ) for even beginners like me. 👏 👍 👩🏼🎨
Thank you so much - that means a lot! ❤️
Thank you I need to try it your way now
I’m assuming you’d treat soft resin (from poor ratio measurement) the same was as a sticky resin - sanding it first then applying a second coat?
In the case of inaccurate measuring and mixing of resin or colorants, unfortunately the resin may not cure any harder. One possible solution though is to carefully measure and mix another batch of ArtResin to pour on the bendy piece to add strength and support.
Lol and here I was weighing my resin because I thought it was more accurate. It’s my baking skills coming back to haunt me lol
I was doing the same thing
Ha, me tooo!!! Well atleast we know now🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I've seen so many people on youtube doing it. I'm shocked so many people are doing tutorials and doing it incorrectly.
I still weigh my resin I just choose ounces. It's still more accurate to put The resin on a scale than it is to eyeball one oz on a measuring cup. So the people who Are giving tutorials and telling us to weigh our resin just need to be more specific and clarify you are measuring by volume
@@shelleydyer That's a good tip. Thank you.
You are super easy to listen and learn from, a rarity on YT. Thanks!
Thanks for watching :)
This was so great! Thank you so much for all the great advice!
Hi, i’d like to ask about bendy resin 😕 I’ve tried like 6 times but my resin has always been bendy, it’s not sticky it’s just bendy and not hard enough. Mind replying? ❤️
Bendy resin can happen for a few reasons: short cure time, mixture being off, and thin pours to name a few. Here is our full blog on why it happens and how to prevent it: www.artresin.com/blogs/artresin/how-to-prevent-bendy-resin
super, thanks! just when I started to panic...
Thank you this was very helpful.
Thank you so much for sharing, very easy to follow and understand. Beautiful work. 💖💖
Thanks, we are so happy to help!
ok my art is still tacky i tried remixing the resin and it didn't cure again D:
If you are using ArtResin please send us in a photo and what your process is with your piece to support@artresin.com We will be glad to help you troubleshoot.
One thing that might help is to be sure that your mixture does not have any ribbons in it. Sometimes stirring slower and longer will help that problem.
@4:30 before she FINALLY starts to show how to fix it !
This really bring me to relax as my first ever resin coating gone wrong.. Thank you so much.
Hi Varsha, glad to help! The good news is most things are fixable :)
Exactly what I needed! Thanks!
I ended up just throwing it away 😭
“you should use volume rather than mass”
“if you use 1 ounce of resin you wanna use 1 ounce of hardener”
???
I guess I don't understand why you have ??? .
math
literally panicking and this video is soothing my madness Thank you!

Thank you so much for your helpful tips! Hi from Okotoks!
Thank you for sharing. Very good information.
Thanks Julio, glad you found it helpful!
This is the most wonderful tutorial video for me 😃👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯 thank you so much 🙏🏻
I loved the video on sticky resin. I made a bunch of straw toppers and they out sticky. What I tried, because the pieces are small, I use clear, high gloss nail polish and then put them under the UV light. Thank you for your great information.
Joan, Baltimore, MD
Your video is the best I’ve seen thank you for even showing the next day mistake and how to fix that as well
So glad we could help :)
Thank you so much ! This is the only video that talked about a cure for runny uncured resin !
so glad you found it useful :)
Thanks so much for this video! I have had 2 of the 3 problems and now know how to fix it!
Perfect! Mission accomplished :)
You are so much fun to watch! You are so beautiful and have such a winning smile that lights up the room! Thank you for your elegant tutorials.
Thank you so much for this you save me! I love your soothing way to explain what most of us freak out about ❤️ I use resin a bit differently, I brush coat my acrylic painted shells. So they’re just lightly coated. How long do you recommend you I dry them for? For a full dry. Thanks 🙏🏽
Thanks, great helpful information!
Thank you! For the help my dolls got better 😊👍
Very helpful video, thank you
thank you so much, I really appreciate your help!
Fine job you helped a great deal. Excellent teaching talent
Thanks Steve, so happy we could help :)
Very helpful information.
I was working on a beautiful mold a few days ago and filled the molds with water to make sure I was making enough resin mix. I thought I measured it right but was dead wrong. When I poured the resin I was short a little more than 1/4". I freaked and rushed to make a new batch to fill it but it had been over 2 hours so I didn't know what to expect. Well 3 days later the new pour hadn't cured yet and I tried everything to heat the cast but no success. After watching you video I braved it and spent about 3 hours removing the last pour. Wow what a headache. Anyway the remaining cast is sanded and still a little sticky but the worst is done. Taking a break for today and starting again tomorrow. Wish me luck on completing it. Even though I'm frustrated (because I'm a newbie and wanted to give this as a gift) I am grateful to you for giving me the inspiration to go for it. I know now my rushing caused me to make the wrong mixture so in the future I will be extremely careful in mixing. Thanks for sharing...
We have all been there at one time or another, the good news is we learn from all of our experiences-good and bad. The better news is you can now go ahead and pour on your next carefully mixed layer and complete your project. Good luck :)
Thank you very much for your help. I love it❤
This was so helpful!!!! I've been frustrated with Resin. It is a love / hate relationship.
