Q: How Can I Create a Border to Pour a Thick Coat of ArtResin?


A: You can pour ArtResin as thick as you like so long as you have some walls that you can work within. One easy way to create walls is to take some sturdy aluminum tape and tape up the sides of your piece, folding the tape  back into itself in order to avoid any sticky areas showing. From there, you can pour your resin right in.


You want to work in thin-ish layers, about 1/4" thick. Once that layer has set in about 4 hours, you can then pour another layer and repeat that process as many times as you like.


Once the piece has cured, you can pull the tape off the next day and clean up the sides with some sandpaper or even a table saw. 


A second way to make walls is to use silicone. Silicone is great because you can make any type of organic shape that you like. Just pump it out onto a piece of acetate, because ArtResin won't stick to acetate or silicone, and once you have your shape defined you can pour the resin right inside.


Once that piece has cured, you can pull the ArtResin piece right up off of the piece of acetate. It's as easy as that!
