My beginner's tips for getting started with #epoxy #resin may come in handy to folks who use have used it for a while too. How much resin do you need? How do you clean up resin tools? How do you stop resin bleed? How long does resin last? Stay tuned and I'll answer those questions and more. Resin can be messy, expensive and intimidating, but opens up a world of options for your #woodworking once you learn how to use it effectively.

I am focusing on sign making, resin art projects, and other small quantity uses of epoxy, not river tables and large pours. Hopefully, these hints save you time, money and frustration. Hit me up in the comments if you have any questions and feel free to leave your own resin secrets too ;)
