Don’t scrimp on the time spent applying sealer.

]]> 38867 2 58 Fact A surprising amount of people pronounce Mod Podge, “Modge Podge” :)

]]> 38868 3 62 Tip Sealing your artwork while still on a single sheet saves time and makes it far easier to apply sealer.

]]> 38883 4 96 Tip Tiny scissors make it easier to make detailed cuts. Make sure you use grown-up scisors though, not little kid safety scissors.

]]> 38884 5 133 Tip Have you noticed that I talk a lot about sealing your art? I can’t over-stress the importance of doing so :)

]]> 38885 6 176 Tip Be sure to seal the back of your artwork as well. A lightbox makes it easier see the artwork through the back of the paper.

]]> 38886 7 242 Tip A good coating of sealer in the pendant or ring helps to minimize trapped air bubbles and spots where resin can make contact with unsealed paper.

]]> 38887 8 274 Tip Another good coat of sealer on the top of the artwork is an easy way help seal the cut edges of the paper.

]]> 38888 9 343 Tip Excess sealer that gets on the outside of jewelry can usually just be wiped away with a finger.

]]> 38889 10 353 Tip Allow sealed artwork to dry at least 12 hours before pouring resin.

]]> 38890 11 378 Tip A clean work area will help minimize dust and debris in your final results.

]]> 38891 12 418 Tip Check local restaurant supply stores for useful items. Your local Target probably has affordable trays and such.

]]> 39251 13 431 Tip Plastic covers are less likely to add dust and fibers to your work area, as will keeping your wok covered as much as possible.

]]> 39252 14 460 Tip Simple jigs can help keep jewelry flat and immobile during pouring.

]]> 39253 15 561 Tip Prior to mixing, bottles of epoxy and hardener should feel slightly warm to the touch.

]]> 39254 16 582 Tip Resin that is too cold when mixed results in a cloudy cast. Some folks feel it’s because of a lot of tiny bubbles.

]]> 39255 17 607 Tip Make sure bottles do not have water on them before you mix to avoid introducing water to the resin.

]]> 39256 18 647 Warning Always wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area! If you have a respirator, wear it! If you don’t, go get one!

]]> 39257 19 742 Tip Not measuring properly may result in resin that does not cure properly, which means sticky resin.

]]> 39258 20 781 Tip Stir gently for 2 minutes. Make sure that you scrape the sides and bottom of the measuring cup. Occasionally, scrape stick on lip of cup.
