 Sup y'all, we're recording. We are not live because I am out of town. Womp womp. But before we left, Scarlett decided to come over and shoot some film with me so that you guys don't get bored while we're gone. It's amazing. So today we are going to attempt to do the colander pour, which is when you take one of these and you put stuff through it. Most people use- It's a sink strainer actually. So correction for me, say always colander. But it's basically the same thing, but this is actual sink. It's a bowl with holes in it. So these are slits. The colander has circles, right? That'd be a good way to differentiate. Probably. Anyways, yes. So the idea is most, it's usually I see it with acrylic pourers. It's my opinion and e-science philosophy that resin's too thick. So we're thinning it in a hot water bath for like 15 minutes before we start so that it's more liquid. And then we're going to do the colander thing. So I know it's on my next color obsession order. So does it come in bigger or only a little? Probably only a little because it's so pretty. Probably, you know, like I'm in a little because it is pretty. So I'm going to find a rag. Here's one. Because water and resin do not like to play together. I'm just gonna wipe that off. I thinned it out a little. It's not too thinned out because when you thin out your resin too much, you risk your resin flowing off of the piece or you risk it being too thin to keep cells intact. And I don't know if cells are a desired thing in colander or sink strainer pours or not. But we're going to put a little bit of stone put in there just to see what happens because why not? So for this initial test, we're going to use stone coats, art coat. It's a one to one resin, which means you pour equal parts of each. And this is a 15 inch cradle board that we have available on our site. Oh, 15 inch. Just spray painted black. Actually, I think I may not have 15 inches on the website because they're not very popular size, which is why I'm pouring on it. So I don't want to waste stock. So it's 15 inch round. So I'm going to... Well, I don't want to underestimate it. So I'm just going to do 10 ounces. And if I have any leftover... 10 of each or five and five? Five and five. Oh, 10 total. 10 total. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you ma'am. If I have any leftover, I'll just make coasters. No wonder it's not coming out. Here, special. Thank you. And if you hear any barking, Joplin, Cujo, and Bowie are in the house. She's so cute. Like, wait, where's your... All three cameras are there. And then there's this one over here. Put your little face up. Put your little face up. Bowie. Uh-uh. Oh, there. I didn't know what I was looking at. Okay, there we go. Say hi. Okay, now that we've just put hairs on over here. Okay. And she's a little dog, so I want you to get new sticky sticks. No new sticky sticks. Mm-mm. There she goes. Look at... Remember that's what she was when we could find her? Last time she was over here, we literally lost her. She was like, for sure she's in the house, but I don't know where. I know she's under something sleeping, but she's so tiny. There's something about poms. They just want to get into any area. Any of the smallest area they can fit in, that's where they want to be at. My baby, no. It's like, don't touch me. So this particular resin gives an hour, over an hour working time, and it says to mix for at least three minutes, which in my world is about when my wrist starts to hurt, and then I add another minute. I mean, you have a long working time, so why not? Yeah, make sure you do it right. Have you ever had a piece not set up because it wasn't mixed right? Me? Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Lucky. No, but I probably mixed a little longer. Well, I do mix the full, if it's like this says three to four, I'll do the four, just in case. And I like scrape, scrape, scrape, rub, rub, rub my stick on all sides. Scrape, scrape, scrape, and I'm constantly turning it. So I get a lot of bubbles because I'm like, don't want to, because so many people said like, oh, it didn't work. And I'm like, oh. So I've learned from everyone else, telling us on YouTube, like make sure you mix resin. It's true, because my very first piece never set. I'm sorry. I burned my very first piece. He scorched it. Scorched it. Mm-hmm. And it was looking really great, and then I was like, I don't want to move this. And I was like, and it was all just gross. Just dry-gabbed. And then, yeah, and then it was like, trying to like go up and over. I'm like, what is going on? And then the fire truck ended up coming because the, my ceilings, like the lowest is probably like, I don't know, 20. You know what I mean? They're like super tall ceilings. So we couldn't, I couldn't reach to turn it off. I'm like, somebody didn't think this through. So the fire department came to your place? Yeah, it was mortifying. So Harry finally got something to shove it off. And, and then I like saw a fireman coming through the backyard. I was like, uh, like after, I don't know, maybe 10 minutes of it being shut off. Apparently they tried calling the cell phone because my security alarm let's them know like, hey, fire, fire, send someone. And they tried to call you to see like, hey, are you okay, blah, blah, blah. Well, I didn't know because I was resigning so I didn't have my phone with me. And so they came to pay. Yeah, because I didn't call. And I felt so bad because I was like, oh my gosh, I hope somebody didn't lose out something important or themselves, you know, hurt because I took away from that. You know what I mean? Yes. So let's trust me out. But I was like, I'm so sorry. And they're like, no, we'd rather you be safe. And no. So I was like, okay. But yeah, it was quite embarrassing. And then of course it's broad daylight. So all the neighbors are like, oh my gosh. What's happening? Yeah. And I'm like, oh. Worry about yourself, Karen. So I was like, Jessica has our fire. It's not my deal. But dude, choose story. Now we know. So when we did the pink marble countertops in the clients house, Baltimore, whatever, I set her fire alarm off and she has sprinkler in her house. Luckily that hadn't been hooked up yet or it would have. All over. Yeah. That was fun time. She had super low ceilings though. It was actually when I got this burn. Fun, fun for everyone. Good time. Good time. It was so about that. Hold on, hold on. Hey, I'm already on here because I put Joplin over it like a dingleberry. No worries. Let's see the little hairs. Let's get them now while we can. So I love these. I'll have to operate. I'm going to make some of those rectangles too. You can make your rectangle one. Yeah. He came over yesterday. I was so cool that we got to see him. Oh, did he? I was like, that was his wife and he that we were in the car right? Yeah. Yeah. They're cool. Couple for sure. So I'm leaving some clear because I want to put a clear coat down first. And this is because if you don't have anything for your resin to move over, then it's just not going to flow very easily. And you're going to end up with not an even dispersion. Yeah, exactly. Perfect. So it doesn't take a lot because you don't want it to end up diluting your colors, but just just a little bit. I have a question. When people do acrylic pours, do they have to have flow because it's so liquidy or no? Some people do like a white over it or whatever their main color is. Same premise, but with a color since it I mean clear acrylic isn't a thing. I guess you could do like a flow trawl clear coat, free coat, like just a really thin one just to get it flowing. I don't know. I'm not the best at acrylic pouring. So first hand, I'll put alcohol on it to get it off there. Oh, I got some. Thank you though. So my colors are going to be black based tint from Stone Coat, titanium white from Just Resin. That's going to be beautiful. Bright gold from Just Resin. I'm out of stock on this and this temporarily. Midnight Violet and Wild Jasmine from Resmart. This color is bananas. Yeah, it's super pretty. So I'm out of my little store six because we're packing to go to Australia. I don't have any to use on the channel. I always overload my powders. Accidentally. Oh, accidentally. Okay, not on purpose. It may be a little bit on purpose. Subconsciously, accidental on purpose. I mean, what would it do if you do more than you should have powder? Wouldn't do anything with it or would it be chunky? It may not fully mix in and you'll end up with chunks or it may turn into marshmallow fluff. Really? Interesting. You just, you're changing the science of your resin when you introduce too much. Did you want me to mix for you? You want to? I think, man. So what do you think? Should we do like a puddle strainer for or like a dirty pour strainer for? We could do both. We could do one of each whichever, you know what I mean? So we could see the difference if you want. So we could do on yours, what did you say, dirty pour? Okay. And then we could do on mine like the strainer pour or whatever. Sounds perfect. Yeah, that way we can see what it looks like, the difference. And that way your family can, well, your ATD family can see the difference. My bacon is really dumb. Dude, this color is so pretty. Oh, I love that, how bright that is. And this black is going to be so red. Are you excited? I'm so excited. It's going to be so pretty. Super pumped about colors. Right. Oh, I mean seriously, how can you not? They're so pretty. Whenever you thin out your resin, you guys at home, take extra care to mix it in completely because the thinner your resin is it can be a little bit more difficult to mix in like evenly, especially with paste, powder is a little bit easier. I mean seriously, it's so beautiful. Which one was this? The violet? That is the midnight violet. Oh, yeah. What a great name for it. And the gold. Molten gold from just resin. It's not molten, it's bright gold. But I would have called it molten. I feel like right then. I always forget to like not mix it here so that like you can see. Don't move that out of your sturdy way. Gosh, this is so pretty. And I'm not a huge pink person honestly. Overall, I would like for color from pink usually, but when it comes to for some reason for paints, gosh, it's just so pretty. It's very attractive because I think the sheen and the luster of it, you know, brightness, I don't know, I'm becoming a fan for sure. I just noticed that I do have a couple powders, so I don't want so much of this on here. So I'm just picking up a little bit. There we go. Because it'll sink into it in like then and out or? Yeah, it'll dilute the color. So yeah, I hooked up my new this and I haven't hooked back up my regular one. I don't know where you are. Oh, here. Look out, Bowie Bean. Clear, frame four. Help with heat guns for sure. I'm just putting enough heat on to like further thin it out and you pop some of the bubbles. I'm going to put it here. I just didn't want to burn you on the way. Yeah, no worries. Oops, sorry. So word on the street is you're supposed to put this in the middle. I guess absolute middle doesn't. And the cool thing is these are plastic, so I'm assuming if we let the thingy thing start, we could peel it off. That's what I would assume too. I'm putting a little bit of black on the outside because I want it to interact whatever design this ends up doing. So since I did that, I need to refill a little bit. And as we discussed before, the live feed started. Nope, the recording started. I don't want the gold to kind of take over, so I think I'm just going to put like a ring of it and let it push. Oh, yeah. I think that might. That would be rad. Be a good alternative. We could do a gold ring towards the, yeah, that way it gets time to push. It's super cool. That way it pushes up. Okay, so let's get this party started. Oh, wait, I'm doing the dirty pour, right? Or you are. You can do whatever you want. Whatever you do, I'll do the opposite of that. Okay, so it is still relatively thin, which is awesome. I want to alternate it a little bit more. That was one of the babes. Oh, we're done with the dirty pour. I want to think about it. It's a good time. Nice to watch. I haven't, I mean, I've done a tree ring recently. I haven't done just a straight up dirty pour in a while. That's so cool that you could do with acrylic with resin, you know? Because I really like all the different things it does with the acrylic when you see it. And it's so nice to know that you can, I mean, it won't be exactly the same probably, because it's resin versus acrylic, but still, it's still neat. You could do the same techniques. Right. I think that's super cool too. So you basically just keep pouring until it's all that's mixed in? Yeah. Basically, I don't want to use too much of the stone coat. Base? Base tint, because it may dilute itself in there a little bit too much. And I don't want to put too much gold in there, because it will take over. So this is our cup. That's pretty. I'm just going to swirl it a little bit to give it some motion before we get going. Oh, cool. Oh, wow. So here we go, I guess. I only put a little bit of that gold in there, and it's already taken over. But in a good way. It's actually, it's a good way though. That's good, because it's staying kind of on the edge where the skull is going to be connect. So it's not like, oh, that's so pretty. That pink is on point. That's beautiful. And since we put all that paint on the outside rim, it will, I think so. Well, it'll flow outwards more easily without too much like. Movement of. Yeah. Don't want to like mess with it that much. The white is apparently completely being buried. Bless you. Bless you. Do you see your little circles within? How cool is that? The little cells popping up. Yeah. Oh, is that what that is? I wasn't even sure if it would do any cells actually. That's rad. So let's zoom this in. It's E magic. So very interesting that I think I would have liked the way you're going to end up doing it better. One at a time. Mm-hmm. Okay. Because the colors aren't getting as muddled together. See how like right here is where I started doing individual colors. So it's more distinct. Very much so. Like look at the cells and that because you mix like that's so crazy. Look at that. Do you see? It's just varnish. Do you see your awesomeness over here? That's so happening. That's so crazy throughout. That's so crazy. I bet you if you blew it or something it would even stretch those. So like nutty. That's so nutty. So let's pick up this middle. So she kind of let it hover and then I can put my hand in too if you don't. Oh, you're good. Yeah. Oh, it's going to drip. There you go. Wow. Oh, I love it. Do you love it? I do. I super do. Oh, yes. I'm just slow rolling it around in the same kind of speed. To stretch out. Yeah, go ahead. You know what I'm also going to do? I'm going to heat up the edge a little bit so that when I'm rotating it like that. It will stay even right here. Yeah. And your footy tail. Thank you, ma'am. Mm-hmm. Maybe I'm going to see what it would look like if I swiped part of it. All uniform. So yeah, I love these like individual little swirlies. That's nuts. So I think we're going to do this again. I would do a dirty cut, but do like the swirls and then alternate like black. I think when you do your. In between each color. Yeah, like do swirl for a little while and then add a black and then a swirl and then whatever accent color. That way this interesting middle part is more like represented. Okay. All the way out. So I'm not, I'm going to have to do white though, right? Because I'm doing white. Yeah, I mean that this white is the same thing. Okay. So you guys, I will show you what this piece ended up looking like. After it sets up, I'm going to show you how to contact us further. You can check us out on all of these places. Read all of these things and we'll see y'all next time. Bye. That's a bye. That's a bye.
