 Imagine if I fell and you'd walk in and be like, what are you doing? I'm gonna just be stuck out here. You're like, nothing. Nothing to do with you. There's light in here. Uh, whoo, it's hot in here. Do you really want to go in somewhere? You're not gonna be walking. Are we live? We're live. Hi y'all. So, Jeff and I are gonna let you do this pink, Marbley, JD, ATD style countertops. And we thought we'd do just a pro tip quick clip for you guys. Yes, it's live. So anyway, what I'm doing right now is, okay, let me back up. I lost a shoe to the game today. Well, technically I lost the shoe. This, it was over there. I should have left it, but it, RIP, look at this mess. Woo! So we thought we would do some couple little just tips to help you save your chanclas. And what chanclas are, are sandals in Spanish. Flippy floppies. Flippy floppies. So, normally when you're doing these countertops and you get these drips, and normally you do the drapery, which is awesome. It's good. I figured out it's good to make these a little bit longer than normal, not just, you know, cut it off right here. Make it go longer so that it does drip down. And then that way you can lift this up, fold it onto itself. And then you have a nice clean little area to get up close, get your drips, get your heat gun if you have to fix it and then you won't lose your shoes or get sticky stuff all over your feet. And you can also put a piece of paper down as well. But I thought of something really fun in the kitchen. If you have enough material, put down your paper where you're gonna be, you know, you're protecting your floor and then put down a second layer. Like if you want, put down a second layer, then start your pour. So then all this first, like that second layer gets all the resin on it. You can peel that up after you're done doing what she's doing. And then that way you can have a nice clean floor to come back and do your second coat or touch-ups or whatever. And what she's doing here is an acetone. Yeah. Is that gonna eat those gloves? What do you do? You put acetone in your hand and it smooths out? Yeah, you just rub it down. I could also take the heat gun and hit it which actually I probably should do. I used the rag the first time around and it left stuff on there. Left some fuzzies. So I'm actually gonna hit it with some heat real quick. Nope. Okay, kids, don't say this one. Can you let your shipping person know that Jacqueline Porter placed an order and haven't seen the shipping notification? Okay, we're gonna have to deal with all the shipping stuff. Like, you can't address that right this second. And our shipping people come in on different days. So, there's not gonna be somebody there every single day. I think she goes into... Austin should be there today. Austin should be there. We're gonna zoom in on what we're getting rid of. There's like extra grip here going on here. You can also, won't the sweatshirt? Yeah, but you'll see that pink grip. Oh, yeah. What we can also do is spray paint it. I would go down. I wouldn't go sideways like that. And don't cook your resin. Just get you a little, just enough heat on there to soften your resin up. This is about, what, two hours? Three hours after? A few hours after, yeah. And all she's doing is just pushing, giving a little pressure on there and smoothing out those. Look at that. Don't breathe in acetone, by the way. JJ just said that. Isn't that what they use in nail salons? Yeah. And you're right, the flood coat will conceal it as well, but it might make it harder on yourself. You should heat some of that up so it's kind of smooth that out, right? Is that what you should be doing, or no? I'm asking, so I don't know. I haven't had some heat on it. So it doesn't get like that. That doesn't look very smooth. Not my thing. I just don't want it to get too heated to where it melts. Goopy, we could have done this a couple hours ago, but. I think it'll be fine with the flood coat, too. I wonder if you could probably take one of those paint sticks and smooth it up. That looks good. And then the flood coat will cover. Yeah. I need to do this one last part. The other ones are pretty flat in terms of drops. So on the last video, we went over other pro tips, countertops. Lori, we went to Venice Beach yesterday and it was beautiful. We went down the boardwalk. You guys, we went and bought two shirts. And, okay, we went to this t-shirt place, right? We went and bought two shirts. I got an LA with the skateboard on the front, just like a cutout. Just like literally just a cutout. Like how I make on my sticker machine at home. It was a LA with how you cross the the A and the L with the skateboard. And then on the back, it said VB with a little surfboard, but it was just a barely like a silhouette on both sides. And then Erica got a tank top with long or a Venice Beach on it and they said, you get a free pair of shorts or a shirt, but you have to pay for the logo. So we get it and the price was $159 for two t-shirts and a free pair of shorts. I was like, what is, what did I just pay for? No, I'm talking, we went to a t-shirt stand, like a souvenir stand, like a building, not like, not like on the sidewalk. Like it was, you know, a store. So other pro tips. We base painted this with pink and white before we added the resin. So you can kind of see some of the pink in here. And definitely the light pink that's on the, but back splash that's on the wall, the light pink, that was all pre-painted on there. And then we put resin over it to make it look right. But working with resin is really hard to do vertical things on a vertical surface. So that along with when we added these like darker lines, they're not just vertical drips. Right now they have that slight motion because we waited till the resin thickened before adding those on there so that there's some direction and it's not just gravity. Yeah, it looks so good. I was afraid it was gonna be too much pink because obviously she has all the pink, but man, this really like, it looks great. I can't wait to take all this tape off and all the paper. I think it's gonna look nice and clean. Also, the awesome like white lines have a shadow. Oh, thank you. She put her makeup on today with the murder. I was watching murder. I'm gonna know your tips. So we put the thick white stark lines on last as well so that it won't move quite as much, but where it is moving, it's looking pretty natural. Also, also this building, okay, we're in West Hollywood. There's Hills. Yeah, we're on a pretty steep hill. So this unit is not exempt from that. So there's, everything's, you can see this sputtering right here. That is from... It's shifting. The shift. However, that tends to look more natural. I mean, look at that. That looks crazy. So it's giving the piece some unified movement as it's relaxing and shifting like that. As long as you have enough masking down to prevent. Yeah, like we always say, always, always do your prep work and always, always prepare for the worst. I guess that would be the best way to put it. Always put down way too much. We could probably put down another foot, probably another two or three feet that way. Always prepare for the worst because you never know. You could be filling your bucket. You can be filling a cup with resin from your bucket and spill it. And you do not want this to go, you know, on somebody's hardwood floors and like these. And it looks like she's about ready to redo these. So maybe, I don't know. But there you go. I know, I think she's gonna be happy with it. Like it looks just like the sample. And she is very, she's very easy going, super nice. Just, you know, she was like, I love what you did. She found us on Google, which was awesome. What you doing here, babe? There was a something and so I had to pull it out and then nothing is going to stop that thing. Arlene, we haven't done the gold yet. We're gonna let this dry up a little bit. Maybe in the morning, we'll take the gold because we want the gold to be a little bit more relevant. We don't want it to, you know, when you take the spray paint and you put it in the resin and it just kind of spreads like it blooms out. And we don't want those big pieces of bloom. We just want it to be just inside of the rose gold there. So we're just going to hand paint just little sections of the gold. So it stays gold and then flood coat it. And we're going to pull the gold veins up onto the back splashes and the front splashes to make them look more fluid and flowy with everything else we got going on. No, Derek, Derek asks, do you put anything in the, hold on, you putting anything in the flood coat? Diamond dust from stone coat. We are not putting anything in the flood coat. If the client comes back and says they want more or less something and we come to an agreement, sometimes we'll add something into the flood coat. She wanted subtle sparkle, which is why we used Milky Way in this particular piece. You can probably see some of it right there. It's a very fine green sparkle as opposed to diamond dust, which is a little bit thicker grain, which is still beautiful. But... And also don't you want, you don't want anything in your flood coat. You want it to be a, you want it to be strictly the countertop resin so that it's, for one, you're not getting any contamination of pigment or... It's really important to have nothing in your flood coat because that's going to be what protects your surface from if you put a hand down. If you, some people use acrylic pigments and those sometimes aren't light fast and if there's nothing to protect it from the light, then even if your resin is UV resistant and your pigments aren't, it could yellow. So the pigments that we use are titanium-based, the white is, so we're not going to have that issue. However, you really want the last thing you put on to be resin. Even if it is just a glitter additive like diamond dust or Milky Way, you really want it in nothing but resin flood, in my opinion. Yeah. This is all just how you do, so. I love it. Looks good, looks good. All right, well, let's go get some food. Yeah, if you have any questions, leave them down in the comment box below. I haven't checked the red phone or not in the studio to check emails, but we are, we have someone coming in today to send out orders, so that. Thank you very much for that. So yeah, follow us on other social media things I would show you, but I don't have my handy-dandy pop-ups. So just look on our other videos for our other social media to see what we're doing live and in real time and the kind of one another. We never tell them it's going through and we will see you tomorrow. Bye. I said, bye.
