Hi All, I am filling photo pendants with resin and have experimented with different photo paper, different glues, different sealers, and different resin and have done okay except that I notice that some of my pendants have tiny microbubbles that weren’t there in the resin when I mixed it. I mix my resin so slowly and pour the resin into the cup like you pour beer (cup angled), and it is warm where I live, and so I don’t get hardly any bubbles when I mix, and so I couldn’t figure out where these tiny micro bubbles were coming from, but I just happened to peel off a glued photo from a pendant just before using resin, and I noticed that the glue was still wet! I used Nunn design glue, and it had been two days since gluing! Anyone else have this problem with Nunn Design glue? Can anyone recommend a fast drying glue for photos under resin? I am fairly sure that the moisture in the glue was causing the problem and the destruction of countless pendants. Now I don’t know how long I should wait before using resin on the pendants that have that glue, but I’m guessing it will be a week or more now.

Hi Clare,

This is the glue I like to use: https://shop.resinobsession.com/collections/tools-and-supplies/products/ice-resin-paper-sealer

It dries very quickly.

Thank you, Katherine! I will try that as a glue instead of the Nunn design next time. I had tried that one as a sealer, but it was very thick and left brush marks, and I wanted my photos to be super clear, but I will try it as a glue next time. Thank you!
