This is an updated version, Version 2 of applying UV Resin to rocks.
The rocks used in this example have been painted exclusively with metallic watercolor, but the process is the same regardless of your art.
I use Mr. Resin UV resin only. My experience with this product has only been positive, and it has a very low odor.
***REMEMBER TO USE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING WET RESIN***
Use product in accordance with packaging directions and warnings.
Use in a ventilated area, but do not apply UV resin outside in the sun. It will start to gel and set before you can get it properly applied.
Supplies:
- Paper Towels
- Silicone sheet or disposable surface
- nitril gloves & mask suggested
- UV Resin
- UV Lamp
- Disposable brush
- Set Spray, if needed
