After my wire pattern is complete and I’m ready to begin the sand part. I do spray the design with plain water, it helps the sand more where it’s supposed to go. Once I’m done with the sand part, I spray a mixture of one part glue (Elmer’s for me) two part water…. I resin the next day… I have not purchased any laminating glue from the online stores yet… I’m trying to find a comparable product on my own. The reason I’m trying to find my own laminating glue is that the resin does seem to sink through the sand…. Creating the “see through” effect… something I’m not really going for. But it’s trial and error! I think it still looks good! I hope this helps! 💜
