It's Video Friday and today Joanne shares a tip from one of our customers, Cor Beattie of Four Corner Art.

We're big fans of the doming technique here at ArtResin!

What is doming?

Doming simply means applying ArtResin to the top of your work only, allowing it to sit neatly on top without letting it run over the sides. Doming provides a clean look and allows you to paint or stain the sides of your panel as you wish.  

ArtResin's beautiful, thick consistency means that it's GREAT for doming and will stay where you put it.  However, as an extra insurance policy, we suggest taping off the edges of your panel first.

Cor had a great idea!  Rather than taping right up to the top edge, he raises the tape up to create a little lip all the way around the panel. This lip greatly reduces any chance of the resin dripping over the edge. He also advises using a good sticky tape like sheathing tape which, in case of a drip, will prevent the resin from absorbing into or seeping behind the tape.
