How to Build A Resin Dam | Pour Thick Resin Without the Mess

Ever wanted to get that "bottomless" glass look with your resin but didn't know how to stop it from running off the edges? 🌊

In this video, mixed-media artist Jane Monteith (@janelovesdesign) shares her pro-tip for building a "resin dam" using simple painter's tape. This setup lets you pour thicker layers, allowing for incredible depth and dimension while keeping your workspace clean and your edges crisp.

In this video, we’re covering:

• Why a resin dam is a game-changer for mixed media.

• The specific tape Jane uses for a leak-proof seal.

• How to burnish your edges so you don't lose a drop.

💡 Quick Tip: We’re focusing on the setup here because a great pour starts with great prep. Once your dam is built, remember to pour in layers no thicker than 1/4" (6 mm) layers to keep those bubbles at bay!
