 It's a beautiful Wednesday, today is Wednesday. All day. It's not one o'clock, we used to do Wednesday at one o'clock, but this is Wednesday, Wednesday is at one-ish. And we're here with Hannah. Hi. And behind the camera is Jeff. What's up? If you have any comments, Jeff will try and read them out and pass them on if you have questions. And if you have suggestions, please spit them out. How we do it, we have this paper. And today, what we're going to do is we're going to go look at marble, making a surface that looks like marble. That was a request from someone last week. We're also going to show you what work Hannah has done on duplicating a phone case for your phone. Nice, ciao, Claudia. Hi, Claudia. And number, what was number three? Oh, it's that technique where if something that's glass breaks, you put it back together with gold epochs and so you see the golden lines. I forget what that's called. It's got some Japanese names. Yes. What is it? It was just a... Kintsugi? Yeah, Kintsugi. Hey, Erica. Kintsugi, I think, yeah. So we'll talk about Kintsugi and what, again, this is Hannah did a bunch of R and D, research and development. And you're okay with... These things. With following her? Yes, Hannah knows. So if you have anything else you want us to go over in these live videos, just let Jeff know and we'll have to turn this, but let's start with Marbley. All right, what's up, TK Creations from Regina, Saskatchewan, Tennessee's here with A. Leslie Kimberley. Hello again, Manitou Springs, Colorado. I want to go to Colorado. Cool, all my family's from Regina, Saskatchewan. Oh, there you go. That's where my mom and dad came from and so my grandparents are there. That's cool. What's up, Juanita in Ohio? Okay, so again, thank you Hannah for all your work. No problem. And look, this is some technique. Oh. Hannah was doing some research and experiment on how to make art resin look like marble. So we're going to go through this one right here. We're going to redo it on this six foot fake countertop. It's MDF board. Oh wow. It's been prepared with tape around the edge just sticking up. So this is what the same thing you do with your countertop. Nice. Hey, Maryam and Richard. Hannah, do you want to start mixing up our resin? Athena Edmonton. Edmonton's in the house. Let's do, well, let's go with 24, 24. That's 22. That's 24 of resin. There you go. Okay. Can you match it by volume or weight, Hannah? Volume. Nice. Yeah. I'm excited. Yeah. Okay, so Hannah's mixing up our resin. We did some math. This is about six feet by one and a half feet, which is nine square feet. What's up, season of the witch? Welcome back. Oh, hello. And D, Kathy, all you guys. Oh, it's so nice to see everybody. Yeah. There you go. That's what we need in a pandemic world. Yeah, so Hannah's going to mix up the resin and add white to it. We're just going to try and do this marble here. So it's in rose gold and white. So this is what Hannah did, and actually did this. So we have two different styles here, Dave, or is this two different, yeah, or just different colors or styles, techniques? What is that? That's what I'm doing. Oh, wow. They're all three different colors. Yeah. Some different colors. Nice. Oh, perfect. Okay, great. Yeah, so we're going to do this one for today. We're going to do this one here. We're going to go again. Okay. Yeah. Okay, so Hannah's mixing up our white that we're going to use. Let's go and talk about foam cages. So, gang, just hand it to your work. Okay. Here's what we have. This is a phone case made out of our resin. We bought a couple of different phone cases to test it on. Basically, where is that slot? We're pouring it on today, but it's with mold making materials. So this is the two-part silicone. Nice. See this stuff? And basically, anytime you're duplicating something, you need to make a box out of something. So this is foam core and packing tape, and then it's been lined with packing tape too, so that the silicone will peel right off. Nice and easy. Gotcha. So the process is, we're not going to do this today, but the process is we glue that to the bottom, pour your mold making material on top, and then when it's cured, pop it up, pop up your phone, and then you can re-pour in here. Wow, look at that. So there you go. There's the whole phone case right there. Yeah. And that's called a one-part mold. Because we have a completely flat back surface on the phone, we can do a one-part mold, right? Mm-hmm. And it came out pretty good. It makes it do some sanding along the edges. The phone cases are kind of tricky, because they have buttons and holes on the side, but it is completely possible. So I thought that we would use the same marbling technique to do another phone case. Oh, you want to do like a marbling look to the phone case? Yeah, we'll just use the same thing that we did for the camera pop. Yeah. The goal here is you're customizing your own phone cases, which is actually a really cool craft. Cool. Love it. Great. All right. Now that we're off that case, now it's stupid. Sorry. It's not stupid. No, it wasn't. I appreciate it. Let's look at this gold thing. Maybe we're not going to do this today, but if something breaks, you fix it with gold epoxy. And the key is to let your art resin sit for two to three hours. Once you mix it, mix in the gold. Let it sit for two to three hours until it's really thick. And then it won't run. Oh, and then you apply it. And then you apply it and fix your glass, see? Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. So it's a. And is gold the standard? Like, is it gold? Gold is the technique, or? It's this whole philosophy around Kintsugi. If something breaks, you can fix it and make it look beautiful again, but you still see the scars, you know? Yeah, the imperfections. But it's still, you know, it's part of it. It becomes part of it, right? I like that. Nice. Fairness. OK. So do this part. So spray paint is recommended for doing a color for marble. I'm going to use a cloth or something. OK. I use paper towels, you know what they're about. And what you doing? Mixing up the resin. Nice. So why do we have to measure in volume and not weight? Is that a science question? Well, because actually the resin and the hardener are different weights. So if you were to do it by measuring, they're not equal. Because they're not equal, it's best to go with volume. Is that right, Dave? Is that good enough? I mean, you could calculate it. But why would you need to do those numbers when all you have to do is volume? So it's a. Yeah. And visualize it, yeah. Exactly. All right, what do we got here? I'm going to get some science. OK. Cool. Follow me. To the door. To all of hearts. OK. Basically, we're taking spray paint and putting it in the bottom of this cup. I just have this rig over top, so the mist doesn't go everywhere. OK. We just want the liquid. Oh, I see. You're putting it. Oh, you're putting it in the cup just to get the liquid to accumulate at the bottom there, and then you're going to. OK. There you go. So he's just using the rag to protect for the spray itself. Oh, yeah. And this is a rose gold spray paint. All right. But for whatever reason, the chemical makeup of this spray paint works really nice for Martin. There's our sign, and if anybody wants to visit us, just look for the big red heart. Yeah, we're down in Ontario, Canada. Going for our masks, isn't it great? Yeah. I mean, part of the reason we stopped doing these live videos is because people kept commenting and being like, hey guys, you're wearing masks. And that just became annoying. So you know what? We might have made it through this pandemic. What do you think, Jeff? I think so, man. I think we've weathered the storm. And it's just good. And you know, the sun's out, and things are doing good. Yeah. Come to, is that KY? That Kentucky season of the witch? KY? Yeah, KY. That's got to be Kentucky, right? Kentucky it is, all right. Yeah, right? Richard Martin says, what pandemic? Maybe we should actually ban that word from now on, eh? How much spray do you put in the cup? So let's take a look. Where is the cup? There we go. That's what Dave's got in there. Oh, sorry. A little, yeah. So it's good. Oh, OK, so you don't need a ton, but. No, you don't. Oh, OK. Sprint it on the sun. Very nice. There you go. Sweet. OK. So cool. It's exciting. OK, so we're adding white. Oh, OK. And it's just resident and white, eh? That's right. That's the right season of the witch. OK, so you just put a little bit of resident and white in there, mixing it up. Yeah, and we primed our board white, too. So it wouldn't be you. Good point. This is just a jasso. So Jana's asking what brand of paint. So spray paint. We went with is, oh, here we are. Rastolium. I don't think it matters. OK, Dave's saying, yeah, it doesn't think it matters. That's the one he went with the rose gold from Rastolium. And that's what we did. Yeah, I mean, you might get it. You might be a bit of experimenting. Find one that you like and then kind of follow along. OK. There we go. Wow. This is cool. The board is jassoed. Yeah. Are you ready? Here we go. First I'm going to put this one. OK. There it is. Do I put a white paint down before I jasso? There we go. No, the jasso is your white paint. There you go. I see. So then the reason for jassoing a board is that in this case, Dave, if you, so if you spread the resin like this and then you add your paint and you're kind of moving along with the pothole sticks, I guess there's a chance if it wasn't jassoed and have a white background, you would see the wood underneath. Yeah. OK. OK, got it. Is it right? OK, there you go. So this one had black underneath. It wasn't wood as well. So Hannah prepared that one with black so that as she moved the gold colors and the blues and everything, that way we'd have a darker background, not wood. Someone asked, sorry, I just missed a question. What was it? Sorry, my brain is not very good. We've got Tanya upstairs. Oh yeah, Tanya's there. Hopefully she might be on a call. We'll see if Tanya's should be watching. Oh, what type of wood? I think someone asked. What type of wood? This is just an app. The idea is that you're actually redoing your camera top. So I mean, just on a hard surface, on any hard surface, any hard surface will be fine. But MDF is a common building material. It's cool. So this will, yeah, so that the combination of using resin gives you the freedom to do some sort of a cool pattern, but then at the same time, you're protecting your countertop, I guess, right? With a nice shine and a hard surface. Yeah, and you can look at convincing marble even though it's not marble. Sweet. And this is something we've never really done because there's lots of companies that sell like countertop epoxy. And so there's so much information on it you're going to go do in this kind of thing. There's Tanya right there with some information for you guys. Look at that. OK, look at that, it's beautiful. Boom. All right, and do you want to do the honors? So now we have a white tinted topping here with the art resin. And we've got, Hannah now has got the, here's the spray paint. So once again, just so everybody who's catching in here, that's how much spray paint we've got in there. She's not grabbing that much, putting it on the popsicle stick. Take it away, Hannah. Yeah, there is. I can't believe how many people are watching. It's pretty satisfying, though, awesome. Especially when you're mimicking like a look, right? And if you actually come up with it, or if it looks like it, that's really rewarding. There's some techniques across this whole 6-4-4. And you can see what happens before you do it yourself. Sweet, all right, Dave's going to start on this end. Here we go, some more of the rose gold paint. Here we go. It means how to look. Did you use a blow dryer at all, Hannah, as well or no? I didn't on this one, no. OK. Let's see what happens when I pour it. Did you find, then, does it spread out on its own a lot after? Oh, without the blow dryer? Yeah. Yeah, so we're going to use some ice purple alcohol on it afterwards, and then keep going in with the spreader to make it look. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. But it doesn't kind of spread. Yeah, there's one more step to do. OK, this is kind of funny. See, that's a good example. Then as Dave was dragging his popsicle stick, then if you didn't gesso it, so if you didn't prime the board, essentially, you would maybe see the wood underneath. Oh, this is looking good. Look at that, everybody. Not getting a lot of comments, everybody. Come on, people. What's up? Talk to us. They're in awe. They're in awe. That's what it is, boom. OK, so what? So now we got, OK, so what do we got here? And then this is from the dollar store. Rubbing alcohol, I don't know if that's the same thing. Yes, the resin on top does have residentant. Our white residentant is inside of that. So we've tinted the resin white. Yeah, we just have this. All right. OK, so now Dave's spraying the isopropyl alcohol. We didn't treat the wood. It was just a dry piece of MDF, I didn't believe, Dave. That's right. Yeah. We just painted it white only for the purpose of making it white. You wouldn't see the wood color through the resin. That's the only reason we did that. And sorry, any reason for the alcohol, Jane, is asking? It creates an effect. If you can start to see it, it, uh. Oh, oh yeah, right in there. Yeah. Almost like kind of a cells and lacing kind of thing here, right? It disperses, which makes a different kind of type. OK, so great. Can we see that? Let's see the effect of that. It's kind of like marble, ain't it? Do I only apply the alcohol on the gold part? So if you want to remove bubbles from resin one way into the torch, another way, like if they're doing a basic industrial floor, they'll spray alcohol over top because the alcohol actually makes the bubbles release. So if you get the alcohol along the white surface, it's not going to hurt it. It actually will help give it all the bubbles. I mean, you're spraying it on the gold for the effect, but then it also will have a secondary action of getting rid of bubbles. So don't be scared if it gets on the white part too. There we go. Nice. There we go. It's good to have you back. Season of the witch. Season of the witch. So I feel like I've got to come up with a nickname. Where? Him. Him? Season of the witch. In Vladimir Kremlin himself? I guess so. I guess we can just call him the witch. Season. He wants to be seasoned. OK. Don't tell me you just leave it and then it's on the bank. Yeah. Jeff, what do you think? Thanks, really cool. So you're just looking here in comparison. Yeah, it's totally marbling. It's totally just looking at yourself. Rose gold and a marbled countertop. I feel like less is more. Yeah, you don't want to overdo it. We did a bit less. I'm trying to cover stuff with some white. Thanks, Juanita. Juanita likes it, guys. Oh, Juanita, you're so sweet. It is looking good, though. You're right. See, as it spreads a bit more, they're Dave. Like, yeah, in here, right? This looks really good that it spreads a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, but definitely less is more. Yeah, less is more. Yeah, agreed. But yeah, you got a actually really nice pattern here going. See, it is. Yeah, as it's spreading right now, I feel like it's becoming way more marbly. It's kind of weird. Just before I was like, OK, yeah, this is really good. That's great. Totally is a marble counter. Boom, bar. Let's build a bar, Dave, here, at the office. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think? Yeah, especially for Caesars. We need it for having Caesar Day, everybody. All right, I'm going to put some marbling into our phone case. I agree, D. It is looking better with time. Thanks, Jenna. So once we pop up this phone case, there will be some good sanding today to cover up the edges. It is possible. That looks great, too. Really good. So yeah, look at this. Look at this thing, everybody. See, it's just subtly changing. And yet it's fully. Is Art Resin sold in Mexico? Yes, it is. It's on Amazon Mexico. And I think there's an artresin.com.mx. Boom. OK. That looks good. Yeah, I'm just going to leave it like that. One more spray. There you go. Marbled phone case. Really good. Really cool. Well, that's all we had planned for this last video. Boom. Marbling phone case. We talked about that. Try that, Sarah, or? Kasugi, Kansugi. Kansugi, I think Kansugi. We'll try to do this again next week. Let us know what you'd like to try. Otherwise, we'll just resin a bunch of stuff. Yeah. But it's nice to be back. And we survived the virus. Hopefully. For all of us who didn't survive. And we'll see you next week. Talk to you later, everybody. Thanks, Kanda, for allowing your hard work. No problem. All right, guys. Stay safe out there.
