If you're struggling with photos peeling off or metal stickers lifting after you demold, stop forcing it. I personally use B-7000 glue for photo applications because it dries clear and leaves zero residue, which saves me from those heartbreak moments where a perfect piece gets ruined at the final stage. Resin art looks aesthetic on Instagram, but behind the scenes, it's a lot of chemistry and patience. Whether you're working out of my Nagarbhavi or Kammanahalli studios, or from your own home, understanding the technical side is non-negotiable. I've spent six years failing so you don't have to. ### Troubleshooting Hacks * **Mirror Work:** To avoid scratches or marks on mirrors, apply liquid latex before you start. It peels off cleanly once you're done, leaving the glass surface pristine. * **Pen Tips:** If your paint pen tip is ruined, don't throw it away. Most have a reversible tip—just pull it out, flip it, and you have a fresh point for those fine details. * **Mold Maintenance:** Old molds losing their shine? A quick blast with a heat gun or blowtorch on the final resin layer can often bring back that glossy, 'new' finish. ### Why Start with a Workshop? There is a lot of bad advice online. You can waste hours of expensive material trying to figure out mixing ratios or why your piece stayed tacky. In my workshops, I cut through the noise. We skip the boring theory and focus on the practical stuff: how to avoid air bubbles, how to handle deep pours, and the actual business of sourcing materials. If you're serious about taking your art from a kitchen-table experiment to something you can actually sell, I'm here to show you how to do it without the burnout. ## About Flicker Colors Hi, I'm Simran.
