How To Resin A Glossy Photo
- Print your photo/image on glossy photo paper sized to fit the panel.
- Mount the print onto the panel using your chosen adhesive - whether it's a spray adhesive, a glue stick, or a brush-on adhesive.
-
💡 TIP: For optimal results, smooth out any wrinkles or air pockets by either using your hands or gently rolling a brayer over the top. This ensures the paper is securely and evenly attached to the panel, with no air pockets.
- Glossy photos do not typically require a sealant, however some types of photo paper can absorb resin. We advise doing a test first so you know what results to expect before resining your final project. If you decide to use a sealant (either a spray or brush on sealant) choose one that dries clear, offers UV protection and is designated as safe for use with photo prints.
- Wearing gloves, measure and mix the ArtResin according to instructions.
💡 TIP: If you're not sure how much ArtResin you need, enter the dimensions of your piece into our Resin Calculator.
- Pour the resin in the center of your artwork and use a flat-edged spreading tool to guide the resin over the entire surface.
- Use an Artist’s Torch to remove bubbles.
- Cover and all the resin to cure. After 24 hours, the resin will be dry to the touch and will be fully cured after 72 hours.
