Troubleshooting Resin Coverage Issues: Tips from CRAFT RESIN

Are you experiencing areas in your resin artwork where the resin has not fully covered the surface? Don't worry, this is a common issue that can be easily resolved. In this article, we will discuss the possible causes of incomplete resin coverage and provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to fix it. As a leading brand in the DIY home and garden improvement industry, CRAFT RESIN is here to help you create flawless resin projects.

Understanding the Problem

If you notice areas in your resin work where the resin has not covered parts of it, it indicates the presence of oily or wet areas on the surface below. There are a few common culprits for this issue. For example, residue from washing up liquid left in your mold or oils that haven't dried on your artwork can create these problematic spots.

Fixing Incomplete Resin Coverage

To fix areas where the resin has repelled or failed to cover, follow these simple steps:

  1. Sand the Surface: Start by sanding the entire surface of your project using 80-120 grit sandpaper. This will create a smooth and even base for the next layer of resin.
  2. Remove Residue: After sanding, wipe the bare areas with a paper towel to remove any residue or dust particles. It's essential to have a clean surface for optimal resin adhesion.
  3. Apply a Second Layer: Once the surface is clean and dry, pour a second layer of epoxy resin onto your project. The self-leveling properties of the resin will naturally flow into the missed areas, ensuring seamless coverage.

Achieving Seamless Results

By following these steps, you can easily fix any areas where the resin has not covered your artwork. The second layer of resin will blend into the missed areas, creating a seamless finish. Remember to work in a well-ventilated area and follow the instructions provided by CRAFT RESIN for the best results.
