Essential Resin Tools

When it comes to working successfully with epoxy resin, the old saying "use the right tools for the job" is true. Each resin tool is used for a specific purpose, so it's important to use the correct tools and to use them correctly to save you valuable time, effort and money. If you're new to working with resin, however, you might not know where to begin:

What resin supplies should a beginner get?
Which resin tools are need-to-haves vs nice-to-haves?
Where do I buy resin tools?
Do I need to spend a lot of money on resin supplies?

The good news is that basic resin art supplies are easily found at your local hardware store or online. In fact, you may already have some of them around the house. Here are the essentials you need to get started with epoxy resin:
1. ArtResin
2. Disposable Gloves
3. Apron/Old Clothes
4. Plastic Drop Sheet
5. Masking Tape
6. Plastic Stands
7. Level
8. Plastic Container For Water Bath
9. Plastic Measuring Cup
10. Plastic Stir Stick
11. Plastic Spreader
12. Butane Torch
13. Toothpicks
14. Dust Cover
15. Alcohol and Paper Towel

Is there an All inclusive kit, not the torches or heat guns, but, silicone, with a couple tints, maybe a coaster mold, and some smaller odds and ends? I have a lot of resin materials- but- am interested in trying Art Resin- specifically..

Hi, should I use brushing machine to remove the uneven surface of the resin crafts?
Please advise what kind of brushing machine will be better to use for finishing or making the surface smooth.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, thanks for sharing the video. I'm a beginner at resin. I need to know a few things before I start resin.
What is the period of resin?
Does it dry up in summers?
How to cure if the one part is dried?
After using so much resin on the canvas, what will be the weight of the canvas after drying the resin?
Thanks😊

Wait.. So we don’t need to wear a respirator? Is it safe is we don't?

[LiezelBekker]

What do you get with the starter kit and how much is the price of products and chipping and where is your location liz

[awatt]

I use All in one glue for doming. Will this work with art resin? I make pins and keychains with shrinky dinks and stickers.

Actually how does resin treat Mod Podge gloss on stickers or even stickers by themself still on the acetate or glossy backing?

I poured an ocean scene on a lazy susan but i don’t like the final colour choices. It’s been 6 days since i poured. Can i sand and repour a different colour and would i pour a think coat of clear first. Thanks so much for your tutelage

[ashleylopez]

Hi great video, I just have a question I use small silicone molds and my air bubbles don't sit at the top, more so at the bottom so I don't see the bubbles until I pull the molding out of the mold. I do warm my resin and use a heat gun but one or two molds will have air bubbles at the bottom of the mold. Also if I sand it down and pour a fresh top coat of resin should I place it back in the silicone mold ?

[סהרעבדאלהאדי]

Thanks for sharing. Is this resine art don't need a mask to wear? And how can i choose the right resin for a job?

[Kangaroomama]

Do you guys sell that same stir stick but in a much smaller size? Would love to find one like that but we work in much smaller batches so need one that's much smaller!

[mixwirepro]

What would your recommend for a sphere?
I have a mirror ball I'd like to resin

[awatt]

If I cannot get a stir stick what else can I use?
Also I cannot get a torch my art resin purchase was my last craft purchase since I was cut off from spending more.

[artisticchick]

How can I get my resin that I use from your products to stop from bending I bought your products to make some resin jewelry and I don't like the results what should I do about bending?
