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🎨💖

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

[holleykrystle]

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 &#3 that you went over in this video. I was panicking that after 2 days my mold was still sticky! Now I'm not.

[merianyouhanayev]

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 😃

[WinDaIXI]

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.

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! 😊🐇💗

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.

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 !!

[aikomaykorenaga]

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

[kayladickson]

THANK 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!

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 😊

[karenedgar]

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. 🙏🏼🥰👌🏼

[gloriacurry-foster]

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.

[OfficialJessicaaXoXo]

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!

[ileanasamara]

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!!

[Roxyutube]

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! 🐇💗

[bevryan]

I just faced this issue, thank you for being so clear and helpful.

[joannhester]

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!!

[shaunabaker]

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. 💜🙏

[chunter]

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!!!
