This video walks you through how I've been using UV Resin for the last few months to seal my painted rocks. UV Resin has some distinct advantages, namely that it cures in 10 minutes! In this video I also give an overview of the pros and cons of Art Resin and and UV Resin, including a 30 Day "test" out in elements and direct sunlight to see how each holds up. I would love to hear about your experiences with UV resin the comments!

This is so amazing that you took the time to leave your stones outside! Most of the artists I known leave them outdoors and all the resins I've tried yellow. Most videos I've seen don't mention what happens after you leave them outside. It's sad to see that your work gets ruined with the yellowing that occurs. Thank you so much for showing us the difference after 30 days outdoors. Your video is the first I've seen that does that comparison and I appreciate it so very much. I think I will give that UV resin a try. Love your videos.
You're welcome! I like to think that the rocks I hide get picked up and taken home to be enjoyed for a time so maybe they're not out in the direct sunlight forever and ever, but if they're on display in your yard that's definitely a risk, and heaven help them if the sprinkler is also hitting them!
Thanks so much for this review and featuring us in the video!!
Great video- you’ve got all us followers because you are awesome!
Awww, you are so sweet! Thank you! 😍
Thank you! This was very helpful. I’m new to this.
Welcome to the best hobby ever! I'm glad it was helpful!
This should have a bizillion likes. Very helpful. I am new to rock painting and have lots of questions about resin and this gives just the info I needed. THANK YOU!!
Oh thank you so much and welcome! I'm so glad you found it helpful! I hope you stick around for more ideas and info! I try and do a livestream most Sundays at 1 PM Pacific that's a fun time to hang out with some of the sweetest rock painters!
Thank you for this video!!!
You're so welcome!
very helpful
Just got Mr. Resin and I’m going to try it.
Can't wait to hear how you like it!
@@JessicaRocks I can’t get the sides to cure. Little light just worked on tops, still trying to get sides to cure.
@@rcollins7684 try flipping that light on its side and "aiming" it at the sides. Just don't look at the light! Or you could let it sit til tomorrow and out it out in the sunlight and turn it so the sides get the light!
@@JessicaRocks I’ll try it out, thanks.
Thanks for this information. I was wondering if you put resin on the back also, or left it bare or used another product? Wonder if there would be any chemical reaction if you used resin on the front and clear spray on the back?
I usually will put resin on both sides. With Art Resin it gets done all at once and set on the silicone mats for the 3 days to cure. With the UV Resin you have to apply and cure one side at a time. I got in a hurry last week and decided to spray coat the backs of some of the UV resin rocks and one of them got air pockets under the resin (like it could peel up) when it banged another rock, so I don't think the seal is as strong as resin on both sides.
I love your videos! I have a question about the torch you used? What brand was it? Also, I'm just starting out painting rocks , so I've got a lot of expense with paints, etc, so will my hair dryer work as well. Thank you, Elaine
It's actually a heat craft gun. Here's an affiliate link to the one that I have: amzn.to/3ABcODm. A hairdryer would also work. Just make sure you're reading all safety precautions on all products and protect your lungs and yourself!
@@JessicaRocks , Thank you for answering so quickly! I'm putting that on my wish list. I see a lot of people using a culinary torch, I thought about that but wasn't sure about using butane where yours is electric.
Ps. I ordered the art resin because of your video. I was scared the way people taked about resin, but you made me less scared.
@@elainemarchlewski90 I am afraid of open flames! Lol I used to just blow through a straw but that gets a little tiring if you resin a lot of rocks! Lol. I'm so glad the Art Resin video was helpful! Everyone I know, myself included, waited and waited to try it because we were afraid and then you kick yourself when you se its really not that big of a deal!
Great video. You've convinced me to try resin application. Do you know if resin would protect rocks that will be submerged in water? I painted a koi fish pond on rocks, sealed them with quick spray to protect the acrylic paint, then coated them twice with Triple Thick glaze. They looked fabulous submerged in water but a few days later the finish got milky and looks bad now. I'm heartbroken. Will resin make a difference? Susie R
I am not exactly sure...I know that it is ok to handle things like rain and say a garden hose, but I've never actually tried to leave it in water. I have it on my list to do a another video testing the two resins I use (Art Resin and UV Resin) in direct sunlight with several different mediums (watercolors, paint pens, paint, etc), and maybe I will add a water submersion test to that (not that you want to wait on me, but it's a really interesting question!). I do think the resin is more heavy duty than the spray seal (it's thicker), which might lend itself to holding up better submerged in water.
Oh, WOW! I heard from a old friend that paints rocks that resin yellows. I thought she just hasn't tried Art Resin. Lol. Looks like she was right. It's kinda disappointing seeing just how yellow it turns. I started spraying one coat of spray before I resin. I sure hope that helps. I'd totally try the other if I had the money. Thank you for showing us the difference. Does it have to be cured with the UV light?
I have done that too, and now that you're saying it, I wish I had thought to include a test rock that was UV sprayed with resin on top! Maybe that will have to be a 2 min future video followup! I'm also not sure how many rocks are out in the sun for the long haul unless they are part of a display...I think often when they're found, they get picked up...and like I said in the video, it's not as obvious when it's not side by side with the UV resin rock. And yes, UV light or sunlight will cure the UV resin!
@@JessicaRocks Totally blown away at the yellowing difference. I look forward to seeing the short video if you do one. I've never tested a rock. Appreciate you showing us how they each turned out. 😊
Do you use your heat gun on low or high? Thank you.
Usually low, but sometimes I need a little extra power for a tough bubble, I'll use high!
this video is very useful, but I use big ston. is it necessary buy uv light or get Mr Rinse is enough?
This is just a different type of sealer than the ones I recommended the other day. It gives a beautiful glassy shine, but it is more expensive. This particular resinous UV resin so you either need the UV light or have to put it out in the sunlight.
Question on this UV Resin do you have to put under a light ?
Yes, either under a UV light or out in the sun!
Yes very helpful. I would like to be able to afford both. But...😲
I don't have a good fee or size. How big of a rock will fit in the UV lamp that you recommend? I'm typically doing fat rocks(2" high). Will they fit under? Also mine can be around 2" in diameter. Will they fit?
Let me do a quick measure when I get home later this week, but I think those will fit. You can also hover the light over the rocks, and in all honesty, I prefer sunlight to cure them!
@@JessicaRocks Did you get a chance to measure?
Hi Jessica i keep having dimples on my Santorini rocks when sealing. I use jdiction uv resin I did 2 coats on a rock today and still get dimples. How to avoid those? I tried uv resin cold and warmed it just keeps doing it.
Oh interesting...🤔 I've recently tried that brand also and haven't had an issue. Have you tried using g a craft heat gun or hair dryer to get out any small bubbles?
@@JessicaRocks yes i use a heat gun still get the dimples.
Wondering "What if" you don't have a UV light and it is the time of year where the sun isn't readily available, or even if it is, it is quite cold outside?
Remember the old saying that you can still get sunburned on a cloudy day? 😉 I actually prefer to cure them in the sunlight and I have done it fine on overcast days. Also the cold doesn't seem to be too much of a factor, it's the light that cures it (grant I haven't tested it in freezing temps, but I have put them out there in much cooler weather!)
What is the best UV lamp?
I have a 24 watt nail lamp. I think the higher the wattage the quicker the cure, but outside is still my fave!
Is there any reason that you couldn't double glove and rub the stones just like you would the art resin front and back but then just cure one side and after that secured flip it over rub where your resting points were and cure the other side?
I think it could be worth a try, but I've noticed anecdotally that the curing starts (ever so slightly) even under my regular painting desk lamp. I just did a quick Google search and I guess even our indoor lights emit some UV! I think the main reason I wouldn't do this is because I think you would waste some of the resin on the wet side that gets set down since this one is thicker than Art Resin. Even doing it in 2 parts is still a quicker cure than Art Resin! I have also done just the fronts so I could show it in my videos and then added it to the Art Resin pile and cover the whole rock so it gets front and back!
Thank you so much! I really want to get that matt you were using. I have silicone mats but none of them with that super shiny side love love love that thanks again for your prompt response maybe I will rest it on foil to help reflect the UV lamp and it will cure the sides and then I can just flip it and cure the bottom I'm just hesitant to use artresin I've heard so much stuff about it
@@TheAuntym928 Like I said in in video, I still love and use Art Resin, and I actually think it's easier to apply. The yellowing test was kinda mind blowing for me, and the quickness of the UV resin has an appeal when you don't or can't wait for Art Resin to cure. Here's a link to the silicone mats in Amazon (one side is shiny and one is matte, use the shiny side for best removal!): amzn.to/3uiJ7UH
You're the best! Thanks so much💕
They'll be here tomorrow! Yay😊
How about the smell is it strong? I am housebound and so I need to use it in the house is it okay with a fumes?
I'm so sorry you're housebound! You might want to look into Art Resin--it is documented as non-toxic and is safe when used as directed. It just takes a few days to fully cure. This one has more of a smell than Art Resin, and the paperwork just specifies to wear gloves and work in a "well ventilated area." When you look for information on it, there's much less out there than on Art Resin (art resin has been tested independently). A lot of people wear respirators to be better safe than sorry, and if you can't leave the house if the smell did bother you, maybe it's not the best product. I believe there is also a product called Triple Glaze that people paint on and it's supposed to be waterproof. I'm not sure about the smell though.
I just wanted to tell you that I had bought the heat gun that you had given a link to and did my normal resin on a rock using Art Resin and it was so much better than using the butane torch that I had before even though it was really small, I couldn't get it to hold and didn't light well because of my arthritic hands. The only thing I didn't like was, I had put the rock down on a silicone mat and it left that flat mark in back and I'm not sure if it was you or another artist said they use silicone trivets or something like that, do you know what that is? But this works so well and so fast, thank you for sharing the link and answering my questions!
I'm so glad the heat gun worked for you! I've never tried the torch before because it scares me! Lol. I use silicone mats for my resin...if you got a flat spot on the bottom, I would try using less resin next time...literally just rub it in your gloved hands until the whole rock has a light coat. Those flat spots happen to me when I get overzealous and try and add more resin to the top and as it self levels, it drops over the sides of the rock and pools at the bottom.
Hi Jessica is a respirator needed with the UV resin?
The Mr. Resin company says to wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area. There is a bit of a movement of rock artists in general choosing to be "better safe than sorry" and using respirators, and I don't think that's a bad idea. I definitely encourage people to read the paperwork that comes with whatever product you get and make the best and most informed decision for yourself!
@@JessicaRocks ok thanks
I gave Mr Resin a try. The smell was really bad. It never cured, but remained tacky. I placed my stone under the UV light several times and it remained tacky. I have used Art Resin for 5 years. I will continue to use it. I tried Mr Resin because no mixing sounded great. Fortunately I ordered from Amazon and returned it with no problem. 😊
i use NicPro uv resin now it seems to work good so far smells a little bit@@TerriBrownWeaver
I want to try a resin... that doesn't need a respirator....gloves, torch.... and can be used inside.. a girl can wish, right?
I use Art Resin that way! Well, except for gloves...they are a must! Lol
Well it's UV resin..all UV resin cures quickly..warm up your bottle in water first..easier to squeeze
Thanks for the tip! UV resin was kind of groundbreaking for a lot of us rock artists to discover because a lot of us use Art Resin that takes 3 days to cure! 😊
I can't get my Mr Resin to harden. I keep hitting go on 99 seconds for over a half an hour and still tacky. What am I doing wrong? I justed sparingly. Maybe because I didn't stir it or shake bottle 1st?
You may not have a high enough wattage in your UV lamp? Have you tried putting it in sunlight? I prefer sunlight for a cure. I usually take them outside but I e heard it also works with sunlight coming through a window!
@@JessicaRocks it is 150w UV LED light
@@carolbates8960 how about temperature and possible humidity? I live in a very dry area, so I think that helps. I also struggled with my UV light and that's why I opt for sunlight, but I also noticed that the tackiness would resolve overnight if I let it sit...that just kinda defeats the purpose of it being quickly cured.
@@JessicaRocks oh yes I am I live in a humid a state. And maybe I put on too much. Thank you for your help
@@carolbates8960 I wonder if you put a little fan on it to help it along! 😉 you shouldn't have to mix or shake the bottle though...that'll just cause bubbles!
uv resin go bad after time when they are the done
I haven't had that problem yet, and I've kept several of my rocks! It's held up quite well!
