How to Resin Paper Collage
- If you're creating a paper collage directly onto a wood panel, tear or cut paper as desired and mount them one-by-one, using a glue stick. If the collage is pre-made, ensure it's cut to fit the panel and mount the artwork 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.
- Seal your work with either a spray or brush-on sealant, allowing it to dry completely according to the label directions. Choose a sealant that dries clear, offers UV protection, and is designated safe for use with paper.
- Wearing gloves, measure and mix the ArtResin according to instructions.

- 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.
