I cover my paintings with a finishing layer of epoxy resin for a smooth, glossy, glass-like effect.

I have created comprehenive Resin Clear Coaring Mastery course in which I will teach you the entire process step-by-step with the best tips and insights for a flawless finish.

Epoxy resin is what I prefer to use to finish most of my paintings because I absolutely love the look, but it's definitely not a must. You can use any type of finish you like, for example, spray varnish, brush-on varnish, etc. Varnishes are available in different sheens - matte, satin, and glossy. Unlike resin, varnish creates a very thin coating on your painting. You can find an example of varnish finished painting at the end of this video. 

I allow my paintings to dry for around 2 weeks. Even though acrylic pour paintings may appear dry-to-touch within the 1-3 days, waiting for 2-4 weeks allows to ensure the paint payer is fully cured and all the water has evaporated.

It's a mini butane torch (chef's torch).  You can check it out here.

Currently, I'm working with this mini travel blow dryer for my Dutch pours and other blow-out pouring techniques. 

I use this blow dryer on a low setting. In regard to temperature, I find that both hot air and cool air work equally well, but hot air dries paint a bit faster. 

Blow dryer and torch are not interchangeable. The blow dryer is used to move the paint and create a design, but it doesn't have enough heat to pop air bubbles as well as the torch. Also, keep in mind that if you use a blow dryer for popping air bubbles (instead of the torch), it will flow and shift your exciting design. 

Heatgun is a better alternative to torch. 

You can find my favorite acrylic paint brands in my Acrylic Pouring Supplies Guide guide. 

And if you are looking for color details used for a particular painting/video, you can find a full list of supplies and colors in the description under each video on my YouTube channel. 

I do not use house paint. All the colors I use for my pour paintings, including the base paint, are regular artist acrylics.
