Can Resin Pull Off Stained Glass?

We tested whether resin can create a convincing stained glass effect using two completely different approaches: a reverse-layer floral coaster and a dragon window-style piece. One method took multiple layers over several days, the other leaned on UV detail work and a faster base. So this is the honest result: which version sold the stained glass look better, what worked, what translated from the front, and whether this effect is actually worth trying. 00:00 The stained glass resin challenge 00:50 Reverse-layer floral coaster build 10:43 Layering issues, time cost, and edge fix 15:52 Dragon stained glass wing method 26:46 Final reveals and which effect lands best ──────────────────────── 💛 New to Kirnix? ──────────────────────── We test materials, try things properly, and show you what actually happens — not just the polished bits.
