Scrape When You Mix Resin, Not When You Pour

It's Video Friday, and here's Joanne with another helpful resin tip!

Now, we all know how important it is to scrape the sides and bottom of the container when mixing epoxy resin: scraping ensures that every last bit of resin and hardener are thoroughly mixed and catalyzed to help prevent an improper cure.  

But guess what ...?!  

Although we recommend scraping the sides and bottom of your container when you're mixing, we DON'T recommend scraping when you pour your ArtResin onto your artwork ( like you might if you were scraping cake batter out of a mixing bowl and into a cake pan. ) 

Why not?

Well, if you happen to have any unmixed resin or hardener stuck to the sides of your mixing container and you scrape it out onto your artwork, you'll end up with soft wet, sticky spots in your cured resin.

😢

So always err on the side of caution and scrape when you mix, NOT when you pour!
