In this video I show how to seal pictures & photos for resin. I test out several methods to seal pictures and photos for resin, including testing not sealing at all. I use three different methods to seal pictures & photos in resin from start to finished curing so that you can see how well each one of the methods works. This is a must see video if you are wanting to put pictures & photos in your resin so that you don't spend all that time it takes to create a project and then when it is cured you find it is ruined. All my videos including this one on how to seal pictures & photos for resin are designed to provide support and help for people using resin at all levels. I test these things out to give you an idea of how each method will work. Hope you enjoy the video 😍.

Although I often talk about health and safety in my videos, please make sure you do your own research and take the relevant precautions to ensure that you are protecting your health. I am not responsible for anyone using resin and not taking the correct safety precautions. Resin is a chemical and as such should be always treated with respect and the manufacturers safety advice taken.

Another KZfaq artist laminated her photographs… then cut around the item in focus i.e. dog, child, flower etc. put the cutout into a mold and applied the first coat of resin. 5-6 hours later she applied the second layer of resin, added colored alcohol ink and white sinking ink to create an artistic background, covered the resin and allowed to cure for 12 - 15 hours (overnight) - produced a beautiful, professional ornament, coaster, up a piece of art to place in a stand up frame etc.

I have always hated the idea of sealing the printed pictures with tape, as it is almost impossible to do it evenly, and now as I saw the unhappy result of that motivational pic you showed I am sure I will totally abandon that idea. I will definitely try the glue sollution. Cannot wait to begin! Thanks for these helpful tips!

I am so glad I found this video I was sitting here stressing over what to do because a lot of the projects I have planned have photographs as part of them and I even went as far as to buy a laminator but as always you make me look at things differently and I could have just used what I had here and probably will rather than using the laminator

Absolutely love your videos Steve I have seen nearly every single one ur the reason I started trying resin and love it I just lost a baby and resin has kept me busy so thank u so much for these videos u have no idea how much you have helped me cope with my loss I even made a memorial jewelry piece. I bought the uv flashlight u suggested in one of your videos and noticed that it changes the color of my liquid pigments I had use a blue color and it turned an Orangeish red color and have had it happen to a few others and I can’t figure out why when the pigments say they can be used with uv resin any ideas on how I can prevent it I absolutely love the flashlight cause it cures my stuff instantly compared to my lamp that takes forever and is still stick just wish my colors would change or disappear

Thanks so much. I think I'll try the spray. It's fast and easy. I usually use MP, but every once in awhile I have a booboo. There is a gal on KZfaq who uses Aleene's Tacky Glue. I'm going to try her method as well. You might want to watch, Resin Belle, "Fail Proof way to seal paper/photos in resin". Not sure the title, but I know it starts with "Fail Proof". It's interesting and well done, like yours. I love trying new methods. There always are unique ideas...some are great, some are not! Again thanks for you time and teaching. I love it!!
