I spray my photos with Varathane sealer and ive never had a problem with bleeding. I cut the photo to size first, then make sure I’ve sprayed one side, let it dry, then spray the other side, making sure the raw edges are also sealed.

For the laminating...my laminator allows to select between two settings for thickness. I use the thicker one, run the item face up, then run through a second time face down. After the second pass, while still warm and malleable, take tooth pick (or other blunt thing) to run right next the the edge of the photo, eliminating the SLIGHT "bubble" at the edges of the photo. You can cut a bit closer, and it doesn't have as much chance of showing a border around the picture. Just my take on it.

Why didn’t I find you years ago? I do a lot of work using a laminator and it never occurred to me that I could press the edges whilst still warm. That will make a significant difference to what I make. Thank you

Thank you for this tutorial! A tip: I use laser jet printed photos to place on tumblers all the time with resin and do not have an issue. What I do is spray the photos with Polycrylic by Minwax which works well 😊

Thank you for your advice. The photos I use are approximately 50 x 40 cm. Whenever I put glue on the back of the photo, the glue spot on the photo is visible, that's why I don't glue it, and sometimes the photo swells after the resin dries on the photo. Please Guide me.

Hello. I am very new at casting with resin. (Got a kit for Christmas). I tried a few test pours and have an issue. Following directions for my resin and catylist. Did 2 small round coaster shapes. Both are clear on the bottom and sides but both have wavy lines in the top. Not bubbles. Actual waves. Even been on a lake in the winter where water has leaked up and frozen into little ridges. I know these can be removed with sanding and polishing but how do I get a smooth cast top ?

Hello Sheri. love your videos. i did this with photo, but had big bubbles underneath and also small bubbles on top that ruined all project. i coated the photos with resin, tapped, but still got bubbles because of big area. how to avoid it?

I’m not sure I understand why you didn’t put the photo face down in the mold? This way you would have a very smooth rounded edge when unmolding.

You need to seal your photos before plopping them into resin. Spray fixative, Mod Podge, and other spray finishes.

Ok I am not understanding, did you put resin directly to picture or did you seal it with the hot plastic 1st n then pour the resin on top of it? Which one …please answer me bc I really want to do a project w a picture ❤️🇵🇷
@sherivegasartist Жыл бұрын
For this, I did seal it first with the laminator and then put the resin on top. This is a foolproof method If you do have a photo that where the ink would bleed when it was put in resin. But I did test to see if my resin would have any effect on the off cut of the photo and it didn’t. For most old school developed photos they can go direct into resin. But if you’re not sure it’s best to seal it
