How To

1. Why should I use stands/support blocks when resining?

Using stands or support blocks elevates your piece off the work surface, preventing the resin from pooling underneath and ensuring an even coating around the edges.

2. How do I prepare the surface of my piece for epoxy resin?

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. For porous surfaces like wood, it’s recommended to seal the surface first to prevent bubbles from forming.

3. How do I properly spread Fenkraft Resin?

After pouring, use a spreader or a brush to evenly distribute the resin across the surface. Be sure to work quickly as the resin begins to set.

4. How do I measure and stir properly?

Measure the resin and hardener accurately according to the specified ratio (e.g., 2:1 or 3:1 by weight). Stir thoroughly for at least 3-5 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the container to ensure a complete mix.

5. Where should I epoxy resin my piece?

Work in a well-ventilated, dust-free environment at room temperature. A clean workspace helps prevent dust and debris from contaminating the resin.

6. How can I make my own wooden panel to use epoxy resin on?

Construct a wooden panel using quality plywood or MDF. Seal the edges and surface with a suitable primer or sealant before applying the resin to prevent absorption and bubbles.

7. How do I get rid of bubbles?

Use a heat gun or torch to gently pass over the surface of the resin to release trapped bubbles. Be careful not to overheat and burn the resin.

8. How can I thin out the Fenkraft Resin mixture?

Fenkraft Resin is formulated to the optimal viscosity and should not be thinned. Thinning can affect the curing process and the final properties of the resin.

9. How do I get Fenkraft Resin to dry faster?

Ensure the working environment is warm and dry. Using a heat lamp or increasing the room temperature slightly can speed up the curing process.

10. Can I get a matte finish from Fenkraft Resin?

Clean tools and surfaces with isopropyl alcohol before the resin cures. Use disposable containers and gloves to minimize cleanup.

16. How long should I wait between applying each coat?

Wait until the first coat is tacky to the touch, usually within 4-6 hours, before applying a second coat. This ensures proper adhesion between layers.

17. How do I take photographs of my resined artwork without glare?

Use a polarizing filter on your camera lens and photograph in natural, diffused light. Position the artwork to minimize reflections and glare.

18. How can I protect my resined piece from dust as it cures?

Cover the piece with a clean, dust-free container or tent to protect it from airborne particles during the curing process.

19. How can I create a border or resin dam to contain a thick layer of resin?

Use painter's tape, silicone strips, or a custom-built frame to create a dam around the edges of your piece, preventing the resin from flowing over.

20. How do I deal with drips?

Allow the drips to form and partially cure, then trim them off with a sharp blade. Sand the edges smooth once the resin is fully cured.

21. How do I finish the edges of my epoxy resin piece?
