I think this resin would be great for such a project. I would lightly glue embellishments, stones, shells with a dab of E600 glue or Mod Podge before pouring resin, things have a way of moving in resin and some items have a tendency to float to the top. There is another resin that is jewelry specific, I think this resin would work fine for your project and recommend it highly above any other brand. This can also be bought in gallon bottles not so much at the craft stores but here on Amazon. if you have big projects, do the math it might save you some just divided the oz. by the price and compare. Best of luck. I think this resin would be great for such a project.

I have used this resin in silicone molds and plastic containers and jewelry molds and added confetti and decorations ie charms, stickers, sprinkles etc. I don't quite understand how you work with canvas mixed media, or what you would pour it into to mold the shape, but the resin is excellent quality. It works best when the room temp is a tad warm, you should open a window for ventilation. Be very careful to mix EQUAL parts stir slowly ! and for about 5 minutes scraping the sides, wooden popsicles sticks and plastic colored shot glasses from the dollar store work great to stir the resin, as you have to constantly throw them away after mixing so they are affordable and economical. Use wax paper for your work area, the resin can damage furniture or counter top. If there are any bubble after you pour simply take a straw and blow gently thru it over the resin and they will be gone. Hope this helps. I have used this resin for quite a long time with great results. I usually buy it at my local craft store with the 50 percent off coupon and it is really economical, not sure I can mention the name of said craft store, but you can buy plenty with the 50 % off, I do it weekly and sometimes print 2 and take a friend and print 2 more and visit another store. EasyCast also sells jewelry molds that I have used for making crafts ( I own a business) with this resin instead of jewelry, they are a bit hard to get out of plastic molds, you DO NOT need to buy mold release. It takes 24 hours for the resin to dry don't touch it and as mentioned before be careful to mix equal parts. If you put your mold in the freezer for 10 min or so the shapes pop right out. Hope this helps. PS do not attempt to buy candy molds for this resin the results will be very disappointing. Use silicone molds or jewelry molds. As stated jewelry molds are a lot harder to get the region out of but 10 min in the freezer and they pop out.

I've used this mixed with CA glue to fill voids on custom turned pens and also mixed in resin to make pen blanks. I would fear the pigments in paint would not allow this to show through. BUT, it may alighlty allow some of the "shimmer" to show through and give a nice affect. If you were in my area I could give you a bottle to try and see if it works before you order.

You can use it but it's not made for that, it's designed for dry block sanding and it most likely has an adhesive back in my opinion 400 is a little course for wet sand 600 to 800 is the norm. Most paints will bridge the 400 grit though

I've been using the resin to cast from molds about 1/16" to 2" deep. It actually works better on thicker pieces, so give it a try.

Is probably not practical for paint....unless you were mixing mass quantities. Putting this in a full container of paint would probably be a mess... but I wouldn't do a mortar job without it

I cannot say, with certainty, that all spray paints would work equally well; however, I've had some success with the type that says it's OK for use on plastics. I've been using the resin as a binding agent for fiber composites, and not for casting. Perhaps Testor's plastic model spray paint would be a safe bet for cast parts.

This is a very light varnish, used primarily to protect acrylic paintings. I found it very satisfactory for this use. I don't see why it wouldn't work under the acrylic airbrushing (or over it for that matter).

Probably (resin can be painted or stained), but I would not reocmmend. It is a resin in a wonderful tan color.

Acrylic paint tends to peel or easily chip off plastic. But if you can locate a primer that is for plastics to use first, it might work. They sell these paints individually at Michael's if you wanted to test it out before ordering this lot.

I'm thinking the same thing. I would recommend going to the porcut website to see what is in it. The carrier agent (application solution) may affect the resin in the arrow or any coating applied from the factory. I'm pretty sure you can use silicone.

To be honest, it all depends on how you mix it, or at least for me. I've had no problems with mine whatsoever and it dries hard as long as I'm as close as possible to a 50/50 mix. If I accidentally add too much of the one agent over the other, I notice it will be flexible. You also have to keep in mind that most resin, no matter what type you get, will be flexible if you're working with a very thin project. Thin as in maybe 0.5cm projects tend to be flexible but still durable. Also, you're supposed to allow it to completely harden for 48 hrs for best results. I've gone through 2 boxes of these and don't seem to have any problems. To be honest, it all depends on how you mix it, or at least for me.

I think it may be possible, but I would contact Jacquard to find out the best liquid base to mix the powders with - and if the mixture would work with an airbrush. They have various varnishes and base products they offer for use with their mica powders - http://www.jacquardproducts.com/pearl-ex-pigments.html

I would say from my experience that you would make a tremendous mess, I would recommend putting visqueen plastic underneath if you are splattering paint on the canvas for your art project and want to protect the floor underneath. This is a light duty cloth and a whole bucket of paint (quart or gallon) would likely be a disaster. If the canvas is not necessary to your art project I would forego it and just use visqueen, but watch out because it will be slippery after it has paint on it.

I bought it to make a mixed media lantern. I bought it because if the smooth surface and sturdiness . I also bought it because I wanted to write on it. I think it would be great for detail work. Not as absorbent as other types of watercolor paper.

you can mix acrylic but it has to be oil based and not water based if it is water based it will become a clump so I do not recommend you do so As for how long it stays glowing that depends on the light source that you would have on it along with a UV light I do suggest that you get a black light/ uv light if you do not have oneI hope this is helpful to you good luck^-^

I'm not sure but would think the polymer would be a better idea. You can get it thinner, I think , than the other clay. This clay can easily crack while the polymer has some flexibility to it. Since canvas is also flexible, I'd go with the polymer.

Yea resin shouldn't be a problem I've used mine on both hot & cold rolled steel.
