I don’t know if you have a Re-Store near you but they sell donations of building materials fairly inexpensive.

ResinTint is a pigment based colorant meaning it has much greater lightfastness than does a dye based colorant like alcohol ink. It is possible that in continued direct sunlight you could see some color changes or fading over time. Putting it in the window will definitely enhance the effect, but it will look beautiful hanging on a wall too.

Thank you so much Pam :)

It really should work out exactly the same :)

ResinTint is a pigment based colorant meaning it has much greater lightfastness than does a dye based colorant like alcohol ink. Keep in mind that the maximum temperature cured ArtResin should be exposed to is 120F/50C. Temperatures higher than this can cause the resin to soften ( but it will harden again once the resin cools down. ) For this reason, you may want to avoid putting the artwork in the window in the heat of summer.

check your local repurposed stores :) we have good luck at those

You might try looking at repurposed stores :) We try places like Goodwill, Flea Markets, The Restore, etc.

Hi Kate, Alcohol inks vary greatly in intensity from brand to brand. Some will change color when they are dropped into resin. Others can fade very quickly. Ours are highly saturated and provide an intense color and won't change when it drops into resin. It has a lightfast rating between 4-6 which is very good. All alcohol ink is dye based ( as opposed to a pigment based colorant like ResinTint ) so you'll want to keep it out of direct sunlight to help prevent fading. ArtResin will provide some protection ( about the same as UV glass ) but UV is powerful and best practice is to keep your artwork out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Jasmine used ResinTint, calligraphy ink ( you could also use India ink too ) and a Posca brand acrylic paint marker. :)

You can use a variety of colourants depending on what look you want to achieve. You can use our ResinTints and alcohol inks, mica powders, pigment paste or even acrylic paints. There are lots of options out there and many different price points, you may want to test out some different options to find the product that works best for you.

You may have to experiment just a bit to be sure but yes I don't see why it wouldn't work out for you. You might need a sealant with the pens so doing a small test piece first is always a good idea :)

@@Artresin thank you for your reply what would be a goo sealant

@@tinamariemalinowski2745 I would check with your local art store for a recommendation on a sealant that works well with your pens. Now it will be important that it also dries clear :)

@@Artresin than you. just one ore question what is a good alcohol ink that works good with ArtResin

@@tinamariemalinowski2745 we do like Piñata Alcohol inks

ArtResin works great as an adhesive as well. Many artists use it on mosaic pieces as well. Jasmin is using our product ArtResin Epoxy Resin and it can be found here www.artresin.com All epoxy resin will yellow over time but ArtResin, with its advanced UV and Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers, ArtResin is chemically engineered to offer the best protection against yellowing on the market. :)

@@Artresin thank you so much. I just ordered some. Then I went to Amazon and also ordered some tint but I don't know which brand it was. I'm not sure if it's the same maker as yours. I'm going to have to check. Using it with mosaics as interesting cuz that's essentially my plan with seashells. Thank you so much for all of your help. Have a great day and thank you for encouraging the little old crafter not only the artists. ❤️

You really can use anything you would like but it was calligraphy ink at the beginning and the ResinTint at the end. You can find the resin tint at www.artresin.com :)

Hi KMF, this is metal/foil tape commonly used in HVAC.

Hi Troi, We used aluminum tape and you can find it on Amazon and even places like Walmart and Home Depot :)

Thank you

glendalynne janacek buy it straight from them! Shipping is free too!

Blick’s Art Materials, but in some parts of the country it’s called Dick Blick’s.

@@alieackerson3728 thankyou 😊

Good question. I made a small table with resin and alcohol inks. Was standing direktly in the sun. After two weeks all colour has gone.... 😲

We recommend keeping ArtResin out of direct sunlight to help slow down the yellowing process ( since UV light accelerates yellowing ). As the resin is tinted in this application, yellowing will not be as noticeable as it would on clear resin. Keep in mind that the maximum temperature cured ArtResin should be exposed to is 120F/50C. Temperatures higher than this can cause the resin to soften ( but it will harden again once the resin cools down. ) For this reason, you may want to avoid putting the artwork in the window in the heat of summer.

@@Artresin ah, thank you for explaning 🤗❤👍

ArtResin is considered a non-hazardous material and is non-toxic when used as directed, however there are some safety precautions that every user should follow: Wear gloves. ArtResin is very sticky in its liquid form, so gloves will protect the user from a mess, as well as skin irritation. Clean skin promptly with soap and water if it does come in contact with ArtResin. If ArtResin somehow comes in contact with your eyes, flush with water repeatedly and do not rub. Promptly seek medical attention. Work in a well ventilated area. Wear a respirator if ventilation is poor. For detailed health information, please see the ArtResin SDS. ArtResin conforms to ASTM D4236, meaning it is certified as safe for home use.

@@Artresin Thank you for your reply.....
