How To Resin Acrylic Paint
Covering your acrylic painting in a coating of ArtResin is easy – in fact, epoxy resin takes acrylic paintings next level, giving them a professional looking finish with a glossy sheen that makes colour pop!
We love using wooden art panels here at ArtResin – you can mount your artwork and pour your resin directly on the panel! Some panels even have a raised lip specifically designed to contain resin – they make for a super easy pour with clean edges.
Measure, mix, pour, spread, cover and wait, and in 24 hours your acrylic painting will go from good to gorgeous!
Let’s get started .
Supplies:
- A 12 x 12″ wooden art panel
- an acrylic painting to fit the panel OR acrylic paint and a paintbrush
- ArtResin epoxy resin
- A pair of nitrile gloves, a stir stick and spreader
- a level
- a measuring cup with easy to read measurement lines
- a mixing container
- a handheld torch like our Artist’s Torch
- toothpicks
- an empty plastic tote or cardboard box with the flaps cut off to protect your piece while it dries
1. Prepare your Acrylic Painting
You may choose to mount an acrylic painting onto the panel using an adhesive, or you can paint directly onto the wooden panel as we did. Sealing your acrylic painting is not required before applying ArtResin . in fact, ArtResin is a sealant! It is, however, imperative to make sure your painting is completely dry before you apply your resin coat.
TIP: being an organic material, wood may contain trapped air which can release into the resin in the form of bubbles. There are many variables that can affect gas bubbles: the type of wood, how dry the wood is, humidity etc. Pre-sealing wood with a spray or brush-on sealant is an option to help to prevent bubbles. We always recommend testing so you know exactly what results to expect before you resin your final project. If in doubt, however, you can never go wrong by erring on the side of caution and pre-sealing.
2. Calculate how much Resin you need
Using our Resin Calculator, simply enter the length and width of your piece to determine how much ArtResin you’ll need.
TIP: a standard 1/8″ coating for a 12″ x 12″ panel requires 5 oz resin ( 2.5 oz resin and 2.5 oz hardener ). Measure the lip on your panel as they can vary. The panel in our video, for example, has a 1/4″ lip. In order to fill it to the top, you’d use double the amount: 10oz total resin ( 5oz resin and 5oz hardener ).
3. Stir Thoroughly
Wearing gloves, measure accurately ( by volume ) precisely equal amounts of resin and hardener. Stir thoroughly for 3 minutes total, ensuring you scrape the bottom and sides of your mixing container as you go.
TIP: for our very best measuring and mixing tips, read the blog How To Measure And Mix Resin And Hardener.
4. Pour the Resin
Pour the ArtResin onto the centre of your piece and spread it out to the edges using a plastic spreader or a popsicle stick. You’ll have about 45 minutes of working time before the resin gets too thick to work with.
TIP: Read our blog How To Pour And Spread Epoxy Resin for more resin tips and techniques!
5. Use your Torch
Using your Artist’s Torch, hold the flame a couple of inches above the resin surface just long enough to pop the bubbles, keeping the torch moving from side to side at all times. TIP: if you’re nervous about using a torch, don’t be! Read our blog with all you need to know about How To Use A Torch On Epoxy Resin.
6. Final Check of your Resin Art
Once the piece has been torched, look at the resin in the light for any missed bubbles, tiny hairs or bits of dust, using a toothpick to fish them out.
7. Cover your Resin Art
With a plastic tote or a cardboard box ( with the flaps cut off ) cover your piece and let it sit for 24 hrs until it’s dry to the touch.
8. Wait 24 Hours
After 24hrs has passed, reveal your piece!
TIP: the resin will be dry to the touch at the 24hr mark. At this point, you’re free to hang and admire your artwork on the wall, absolutely, but if you’re planning on packing and shipping your artwork, please wait at least 72hrs until the resin has fully cured.

Finishing Touches for your Resin Art
After your resin has fully cured, it’s time to add those final touches that can really make your artwork pop. From sanding edges to adding a glossy top coat, these small steps can make a big difference in your final product.
Sanding Edges
If you’ve poured your resin onto a canvas or other flat surface, you might find that the edges are a bit rough or uneven. You can smooth these out using a bit of sandpaper. But remember to always sand in a well-ventilated area and wear a mask to avoid inhaling any resin dust.
Adding a Top Coat
For a truly polished look, consider adding a top coat to your resin art. This can add a beautiful shine to your piece and make the colors of your acrylic paint really stand out. Plus, it provides an extra layer of protection for your artwork.
Buffing your Resin Art
Buffing your resin art with a soft cloth can give it a brilliant shine and smooth finish. This step isn’t always necessary, but it can add that extra bit of professionalism to your work. Just remember to be gentle; you don’t want to scratch the surface!
With your final touches complete, your resin art is ready to display. But before you go, let’s discuss a few safety tips to remember when working with resin.
Safety Tips when Working with Resin
Before we jump into the next creative project, let’s talk safety. Remember that while mixing acrylic paint with resin can lead to stunning results, it’s important to take precautions to protect yourself and your workspace.
Wear Protective Gear
When you’re working with resin, always wear protective gear. This includes gloves to protect your skin from any potential irritations and a mask to prevent inhaling any harmful fumes. Safety glasses are also a good idea, especially when sanding or buffing your resin art.
Ensure Good Ventilation
Resin can release fumes that are not only unpleasant to smell but can also be harmful if inhaled. Make sure your workspace is well ventilated – open windows or doors, use fans, or work outside if weather permits.
Handle With Care
Remember, liquid resin is sticky and can be tricky to handle. It’s best to move slowly and deliberately to avoid spills. And if you do happen to spill some? Don’t panic – just clean it up promptly with some rubbing alcohol and a paper towel.
With these safety measures in place, you can confidently continue exploring the exciting world of resin art. Now, let’s spark some inspiration for your next project!
Inspiring Ideas for Your Next Resin Project
Now that you’ve mastered the basics of mixing acrylic paint with resin, you might be asking, “What’s next?” Well, let’s get those creative juices flowing with a few project ideas that will allow you to showcase your newfound skills.
Resin Jewelry
Why not wear your art? Mixing acrylic paint with resin can create beautiful, unique pieces of jewelry. From pendants to earrings, the possibilities are endless. Picture a pair of drop earrings with swirls of your favorite colors – truly a one-of-a-kind accessory!
Resin Coasters
Looking for a functional art project? Try making resin coasters. These can be a great addition to your coffee table, and they make excellent gifts. Imagine the delight of your friends when they place their drinks on these miniature works of art.
Resin Wall Art
Why not go big with a piece of resin wall art? From abstract designs to detailed landscapes, the sky is the limit when it comes to what you can create. Plus, your guests will be amazed when you tell them, “Yes, I did mix the acrylic paint with resin myself for that piece.”
No matter what project you choose, remember that the joy is in the journey. Each piece you create is a chance to learn and grow as an artist. So go ahead, ask yourself: “Can I mix acrylic paint with resin?” The answer is a resounding yes, and the results can be truly spectacular.
