 It's me. I'm Erica and it is Just about six o'clock I'm pretty sure you can hear me. Yep and We are artists till death we go live Every weekday sorry about all the ruckus and trying to figure out I do my mic so it doesn't something okay Every day at 6 p.m. Mish except for on Tuesdays it is at 2 p.m. Mish central and Today I'm gonna do a tumbler So I was given of these They're just Tumblers this isn't sponsored my friend JB gave these to me They're nothing special. They're just wine tumblers But you have to prep your tumblers really well because if you don't Your resin will delaminate or come off of The whole thing of it. So you really want to make sure that you Prep it proper What's up everybody? And not everybody's in the tumblers, which is cool. It's not gonna be a long video But Let's get started So this is the blue that's in the thumbnail my friend JB. She is she works for Sotheby's real She's a realtor and this is the color blue of her Stuff So anyways, so the first thing I'm gonna do is stand it down. Oh that pretty blue comes off really easily No wonder why they say Machine wash only nope hand wash only that machine wash only doesn't make sense So I'm using a to 220 grit same paper and what I'm doing is just Scuffing it enough to create a tooth so that my resin can have a bond to You don't I'm not putting that much elbow grease into it and just Scuffing it up just a little bit Same thing you would have to do for countertop or if you were to be doing a couple layers of resin You really want to stand in between each layer so that You have that bonding ability because if it's too smooth then the resin won't nothing to grab on to and The risk of it delimiting is super high so Check got that done and now Everybody stop worrying about the cobalt blue. We are over the cobalt blue it will be gone in a minute unless you want me to leave it Translucent and let this blue color show through this would you guys prefer that? Because we could do that. Oh, and so I'm using acetone to Get off any grease that may come from the like company Wherever it was made Or any kind of handling could have gotten some kind of grease on it And I want to wipe off any of the dust and all of this anyways, so Now that that's done check and check Laura Taylor, what's up? Do you guys see this beautiful gift? That's out of focus that Laura Taylor sent me it goes really nicely with my dime Love it. I love it. I love it. And so let's get going with this I was thinking about using this new color that I just got in I just got a shipment in from a color obsession and The colors are amazing this Color if it's gonna come into focus But we have a doctor appointment tomorrow. I think he has cold. Anyways, if you can hear him my apologies Jeff is over there taking care of him. It's not going to focus because it's too sparkly, but it's a blue lake shimmer From color obsession. I was gonna use one of these or this new one It is a purple with a bluish interference. It is called plum violet Shimmer not gonna focus because that's my life. Anyways, these are two of many new colors that I got into stock Hey Kim You could use acetone. I mean Bowie. Hey, come here. Come lay down. Come on, Bubba. Let's come in here You don't need to be around any acetone Come lay down You could use 90 or higher proof alcohol You could I just wanted to use acetone to be extra thorough and Come here. You're a good boy. Just lay right here on your fan. Okay, lay down How about that? Children first am I right? So Yes Yes, you can Use alcohol instead so the next step is going to be to tape your rim because Why do you think that resin is? You know Harmful one way or the other. I like to be like better safe than sorry So I'm gonna tape up the rim. So what I'm gonna do is come a little bit up from where the blue stops and that's gonna be the lip so Just like just a barely a Little bit and that I don't know in my world in my head. I feel like that helps Bond everything if it comes a little bit over this blue like it bonds it to the actual Dirling or whatever it is And that it you know what it could do absolutely nothing To let it come up a little bit But in case it does I'm going to roll with it Yeah, I don't know why he's so bad today But every time I take Bowie to the vet with that cough They assure me that it's not the same that Kujo had and that it's just Bronchial infection or Encapsulate that's a word that's a word that I Was looking for I know it is so bad today. I'm a poor little guy But we're gonna take him to the vet in the morning and he will be Amazing and so then I just take this Tail I make sure to go over this bit the where we started and I just Kind of fold that in so that it's easier for me to grab and peel off Later Lord Taylor How did you knew it? Oh, that was a fun little fade-off To help with Bowie's vet visit poor little guy. Oh, thank you so much Is it gonna be a quick one so I can go tend to my little fella? You make my heart so happy Laura. Thank you so much So so much like I forgot what I was even saying. Oh, yeah You're amazing and we love you all you guys. Thank you so much for watching and being here. You're all amazing So so yeah, okay, so I folded this part. You got me all flustered Laura I'm gonna peel it out just a little bit to get it on to my this Because if I left it all the way then it would catch And you can also put your this Together before you start You can put your cup on the foam before Doing anything else So you guys said that you wanted to be able to see some of the cobalt through it I did sand off enough to where there's some silver scuffs In the Surface a little bit so I'm gonna kind of try to Sand and scuff in a way that it's kind of like a sweeping movement. So it kind of makes sense So it's not it's random, but it's not fully random. It's kind of sweeping So it looks like feathered a little bit Nice my poor little man Actually, I just gave him some medicine right before the life started. So I apologize to anybody that may be Saddened I guess by my little guy's cough, which I know It's hard to listen to but anyways Well, it's like any cold it tends to come out of the blue. So I'm wiping any of this Stuff off sanding dust so it's not sawdust. That's stupid any of the stuff that's on it. I wanted to wipe it off So, yes, okay. Thank you Vant for being my words All right, so since we want to be able to see some of that beautiful cobalt color through I am going to Just mix some glitter and not have it be fully opaque. You should only need about an ounce of epoxy Yeah, it does sound like camel cough for sure, but he hasn't well I guess he has been a couple places been to the pet park But because he gets like bronchial infection so often his vet prescribed to him on like cough tabs Which I gave him one like on my way to push record. Anyways So because we want to be able to see the blue through I'm going to just use some of this color Passion disco color change glitter. It is pink from one side But purple from another and also has some blue in there So it changes color, but it's hard to really show on camera because the light source is the camera So, yeah, you only should need about an ounce This is more than an ounce of resin and I'm just going to mix. Oh my goodness. How beautiful is that glitter? I'm just going to mix in a little bit at a time So that we can build up the thickness of the glitter if we want to I wish I had something else here that I couldn't put this Leftover resin on I guess I could make just a solid glittery coaster. Oh So nice, so you can see by how it kind of splits and parts on the stir stick that It's gonna leave a lot of like peek-a-boo room For being able to see this cobalt color You want your house to look like the blue color or the glitter vamp? Okay, so a lot of people will apply their resin with like a spatula But I feel like That's just getting something dirty that isn't necessary. I Don't know if that makes sense The less utensils I need to use to complete a piece the better because I feel like I'm not wasting anything And I don't have to clean anything So because those reasons I don't use a spatula I Tend to just put my fingers in it and get okay. Never mind Almost said Put my fingers in it gets sticky, but just it huh. It's dark outside somewhere Anyways, I prefer to use my fingers as opposed to a spatula Definitely do you when it comes to how you apply your resin? all we do is tell you how we apply resin and That's what I can tell you so I Can see a little bit of the scuffs through it I'm gonna let you guys see it up close and you can tell me if I should mix a little bit more glitter in this and Make a more opaque glitter look or if I should just let it live So let me get you down here a little bit closer. Give a little look see Jeff just gave oh you treating he has calmed down a little bit Okay, so you can see like up here a lot the scuffs through it and right here So what do you think just let it be a texture under it or add more glitter also to note How beautiful is that? It's bananas. I Love it. Love it so much. This glitter is so sparkly like just for no reason And it's chameleon and it's got purple in it. So It's basically Just magic on a tumbler Lore Taylor, I don't know why you got to throw the m word at me, you know Well, of course more glitter Add a few drops of alcohol ink So if I were to add a colorant, I would add a Oh, that was more than just a little bit more glitter But I'm not mad if I were to add a color to it I would add a tint rather than an alcohol ink because alcohol inks will fade when put in resin Over time So Yeah, I mean you can you can use it, but I just don't want to Risk it fading but then again, it probably wouldn't even notice it that much because the background is So dark Maybe we'll do that because I'm about to put Too much resin on this piece, but that's how it looks now. That's the opacity of our glitter Opacity opacity Words are hard Okay, so when I apply my I'm only using this star stick to apply right now because I took my other glove off to Do camera things? When you apply just make sure you come up where The tape is gotta overlap just a little bit and then you bring it sweep it all the way down over your base I like to do the foot of the cup as well but that is Like a preference for a lot of people It's a do you it doesn't really matter either way Ultimately for me, it's easier to just coat the bottom than deal with taping it off and making sure things are Happening down there like they're supposed to be it's just so much easier to just coat it like the rest of it in my opinion All right, so we got a solid coating. Let me make sure I also like to kind of Sweep or brush everything down Although this probably doesn't really do much because the cup is spinning. I feel like it kind of lays down any of the bigger particles of glitter Because You don't want them to be textured. We're gonna have to flood it anyways. So it's not a huge deal, but it just Makes her an easier time if all of your particles are laid down Consistently well, you can still see the blue through it. I know this because I Can still see some of the scuffs So now I'm hitting my this what is this a tumbler with some heat in this case? I'm using fire, but you can use a heat gun You don't want to use too much heat because The thinner your resin is nope the hotter your resin is or warm of your resin is the thinner it is and so the more heat you add the more risk it is of Running off of your piece and you don't want that because You put it on there. Why would you want it to run off? So an easy trick to keep up with what? Where you've already hit it with heat is to just use the tail that you started out with and then just heat it until that tail comes back around and Don't neglect your But the butt the edges so it is Recommended just on the tumbler itself in general to Handwash and so I would probably just recommend that for when it's coated in resin as well I think totally up to you. I you can buy blank tumblers and If it's a stainless steel tumbler, you still would need to scuff it and wipe it off with alcohol or an acetone and then What is the other one? Sublimation if it's been some sublimation did nope sublimation Okay, so I can't words, but if it is sublimation the cup which means it's got like Coating on it already. I would even more Make sure that you scuff Everything like hand-sand it to make sure that there's a tooth because the sublimation finish it tends to Delaminate more than otherwise So Alright, Susan I won't let it fall into the resin I Wear my favorite jewelry's. Well, I try to I Don't have all of my favorite jewelry on cuz it would be excessive, but anyways right in the middle of getting kids ready for school for oh You are not talking to me. Okay, so I've ever worked on The coasters maybe with inks a sublimation coasters What kind of modeling clay would you recommend for use on a tumbler? So Emma are you talking about sublimation coated coasters and JJ Why are you putting modeling clay on a tumbler? I mean, I guess the Sculpey is a modeling clay, right? Or is that mmm? I don't know the clay that I usually use is Like for ceramics like has to be fired in a kiln. I have been using a plasticine for making kind of like mold shapes but That is the opposite of what you should use for Oh for a 3d effect yet use sculpted sculpted clay you can get it on Amazon for anyone that wants is interested There's also this like foam clay that a lot of cosplayers use that I'm thinking about getting to Just experiment with making textured shapes Have you used a microwave kiln? Maybe you know, I haven't I Haven't used a microwave kiln. I'll have to look that up because I'm always interested in Trying new things so I'll have to look that up So hi Carol, how are you? Oh, you have the foam clay. How do you like working with it? so a couple notes about Doing a tumbler you want to make sure that Wherever you have it it is Level like with all resin things because if your Tumbler is leaning too far to the forward to the forward You know what I mean too far one way or the other so if it's leaning this way You're gonna get kind of a bulb of resin where your tape is and if you have it Hilted downward over here. Okay downward over here then you're gonna get a bulb of Resin down here, which is not fun Then you have to sand it off and if you care then you have sanded off and then do a flood coat So mind that and then for when you want to take the tape off. I would recommend See this roadside situation over here when you can put your Gloved finger into your resin and stretch an inch inch and a half without it Breaking then I would say that your tape is ready to pull and so then I would put just a little bit of heat where the tape is and Make sure that your Tumbler turner is spinning in the proper direction So since my tape will be coming off this way it is spinning in the right direction So I can just hold on to that tape let it spin and it would take the tape off I also recommend pulling the tape towards your resin piece So I would pull it this way in order to prevent any strings of resin going up onto the silver part And if that happens anyways, just take an alcohol rag and just run it along the rim of your cup to wipe it off Almost all Tumbler turners will be able to reverse Most of the times you just have to turn it back turn it off and turn it back on and it will go in the other Direction this would be in the wrong direction for me to pull the tape so You just stop it for a second and turn it back on it'll spin in the opposite direction so what Can I Answer for anybody. Oh, yeah in the meantime Don't forget we have our pour with this class coming up the end of this month our kids are live on the website now And I am shipping them now if you haven't gotten your kit yet. Don't stress I wanted to ship them all at one time so I could like Assembly line ship them and that is being done as we speak so order your that I have Two in-person classes coming up in May and March. It would be May 13th and March 18th If you want to take an in-person class for doing oceans and geodes How long do you let it spin so I'll pull the tape when I can Stretch about an inch Stretch the resin about an inch So I'll just put my gloved finger in this little bit of resin that came off of this piece And once I can stretch it like this far without it breaking I will pull the tape and then I will continue to let it spin Overnight for me because it's Quarter after six right now, so I'll just stop it in the morning you can If you do it in the morning, then I would wait like Six hours, maybe but that depends on what kind of resin you're using what the cure time is and what your ambient temperature is because if it is Warmer outside it will cure quicker and if it's colder outside, it's gonna take a little bit longer to cure So just keep those things in mind Bowie just breathe. Okay. Hey, let's come sit with your dad so I can finish answering these questions. Okay Let's come sit where your dad Right there so Have you resin on terracotta or something similar it seems like a tumbler spinner would allow for doing interesting things on planters Maybe it's a great idea and I feel like terracotta is thin enough Nope is porous enough to Accept the resin without doing too much prep But if you want to be sure I would use a bonding primer and then let the bonding primer off gas for Depending on the bonding primer 24 hours some bonding primers are less But let it off gas so that you don't End up with premature amber ring The poor those class is February 24th Um Jenny I use this color passion disco color Change glitter It is before I love it. I wish you guys could see it in person because it's way hotter than it is on camera I mean still looks good on camera Is Bowie okay, yeah, he either has kennel cough or Bronchial infection which he gets a couple times a year. He gets a cold and it gets an infection I don't sell the turners, but I have them linked down in the description box below this video You'll find my amazon link and every time you order from amazon using my link to get to amazon It really helps us because they give us like a 3 kickback or something like that So it's free for you guys to use our link, but it helps the channel Get funded.
