 All right, you guys I peeled off all the parts Since I did use quick coat and it was on this kind of paper Some of the back stick sometimes and other times not if you use regular Setting resin it should not do this and for some reason it didn't do it to the green ones And I think that's because I use just a tint not a paste so it made it thinner I don't know. I don't know the science behind it, but I do know that these some of them have The backing on but we're gonna make a flower anyways. I hope so I have my hot glue gun plugged in a spare little glue stick Where Marco there it is spare a little blue stick and my heat gun and I have a heat gun because since it was quick coat and Let it set for as long as I did it's kind of hard to bend But if you hit it with a little bit of heat, then it's more malleable. So that's what we're gonna do. I'm gonna take the Hmm, let's see which one we should put in the middle. This one looks like a good middle one Mainly because it's got a whole bunch of white on the back of it from the paper We're gonna try to make it work I'm just gonna hit it with a little bit of heat just so that it becomes more a bendy malleable Be careful when you do this because heat guns get really hot and I'll have anything protecting my hands from the heat. So Just for your knowledge be careful. So now it's easier to Bend I'm going to try to roll it and Decide whether I want the white side on the inside or the outs side Actually, I need more heat. It's better So I think I'm gonna leave the red on the outside Uh-oh so if you wait too long It'll crack instead of just bend and roll. So much for that guy See if this one be better It's why it's important to get it pretty warm So that you can bend it without snapping it This middle part. I want kind of a tight spiral So I'm pinching the bottom to be thinner than the top But the longer you work with it The more heat it loses So it's becoming more and more stiff As it were What's up y'all? So I Peeled my quick coat pedals off of my paper and realized that it was gonna I Think the quick coat gets too hot. So it peeled off a lot of the paper with But some reason it didn't do that to my leaves They peeled off just fine For some reason and I think it's because I used a tint Which is thinner than the paste and everything that I did these with so For the most part, I mean some came off without any issues But most of them took some paper with them, which I wouldn't really mind So much, but they are hard to bend and I can add heat to these to make them more malleable but if you're not careful and You Wait too long from like adding the heat you can actually crack your resin like this So that's not a good look So I think what I'm gonna do is use these for the exterior of my rose and to give you a little reminder Even though this is the same video I Took some leftovers and made this one the other day I'm still trying to figure out how I'm gonna put a stem on it but Pretty pumped about it. So right now I'm just going to Make some petals out of regular art coat. This is by Stone Coat countertops It's one of my favorite resins right now for all of the reasons for anything that you're looking for in resin They've got it So Let's get this show on the road Get these out of the way Now I'm going to be pouring my petals out on this Surface, this is just well, maybe not this surface because I have stained it with something already so Let's adjust It's always good to have something. This is something Jeff painted A while back, but it's a board So I'm gonna put my paper on this so that I can transport it out of the way and do another Round of petals can't have too many petals on a rose. I feel like So I'm just taking this sheet of it's probably very akin to like put your paper there's a matte side a shiny side and You want to pour on the shiny side because that will release more easily additionally When you pour on something matte your Thing whatever it is that you're making will not be shiny It will be matte if you pour on something shiny. It will be shiny when you peel it off. So the front and the back side of these are Shiny This is the back obviously it's got paper attached and that's the front You can also just spray varnish or a gloss spray to make them extra shiny Which I probably will end up doing anyways, but Let's get our pour on When you're mixing your resin you want to pour the thin one in first this keeps That has something on the bottom of this cup this keeps It just makes it easier to incorporate both parts of your resin Another good thing about working with a regular resin instead of a fast-setting resin Is that you don't have to stress out about getting everything in shape in a certain amount of time because? With quick coat you have to have it done within 15 minutes it'll start setting up Whereas with art coat you've got a good They say our working time. I've worked it up to two hours before which is amazing Also, if you're interested in any stone coat products use our code y'all all caps no punctuation for a $10 off $100 order discount Anytime you can save a Dollar helps resin is not cheap So I'm just going to mix and incorporate the two parts of my resin together right now it's Very cloudy and hazy looking when you're done mixing and it's fully incorporated. It will be clear You want to make sure you scrape the sides the bottom and your stir stick To make sure that everything is fully incorporated into itself If you don't you'll end up with weak spots and that's not a fun time To fix I think usually it says on the bottle to mix for three minutes It all depends largely on whether using a power tool to mix or if you're hand mixing and how much you're mixing Determines how long you should mix your two parts together for I Usually go till it runs clear and you can't see the swirls of the two parts like right now you can still kind of see Swirls of where the two parts are coming together. It's still slightly cloudy. The bubbles are normal We're gonna get rid of those with some heat later but you want to make sure that Everything is well mixed Whoops, and you like if you drop something out and it's this early in the mixing You want to get rid of it because if I were to have poured One of my pedals over that area and it still had that drop. I'm not sure if that was Mostly a mostly be or if it was a good mixture, but not risking it just get rid of it I have found through my year of working with resin that my hand usually starts to cramp around the time That my two parts are mixed together Excuse me So I always go to that point and then mix a little bit more it's better to be safe than sorry and you have plenty of working time to dedicate extra And ensuring that your resin is fully mixed So for this round of pedals, I'm mixing 10 ounces of resin Not sure how much I'm gonna need but I'd rather have too many pedals and not enough like on this one It's clearly lopsided Like there should be some more pedals around this side But this was all just overflow resin so I Just ran out so I'm just gonna save that till I get another batch of Fall off fall drip, you know what I mean Extra resin to apply to that one. I'm not gonna apply any of these Red ones because that just wouldn't go but anything mostly white with a little bit of blue that I do because I do a lot of those colors I'll add to it. So I'm gonna do a white a red and a green Because I'm gonna get those pedals another shot some stir sticks and We've got our green. Um, this is a tint from color obsession. It's the same color I use for the first bit of The leaves I'm not putting that much into it because Don't have to but ultimately no matter how much of this tent I put in here, it's gonna be Transparent because that's the nature of this particular additive So it's very much like a melted green Jolly Rancher right now, which is what I'm looking for This is gonna be red For this right I'm using cherry paste by color obsession it is Slightly translucent so you can still see through it. It's not opaque And that's good because I want to be able to see through these Rose petals and I'm gonna add some glitter and if you use something that's too opaque it'll just Consume whatever sparkle or glitter you add in there And just be useless. So You want to use something that you can see through if you're adding glitter in my opinion So that's slightly see-through just barely Which is enough to be able to see glitter through so now I find My red glitter Marco, I don't understand. It was right here earlier This is bewitched by just resin. I carry all these in my online shop usually assuming I haven't run out it's Available for purchase artists told at that come to tees to L's when you mix glitter into anything or mica powder You got to be careful so that you don't end up with Floating particles. I Don't know the health risks of breathing in glitter, but I know that you should not breathe in mica So just keep that in mind beautiful sparkle And now I'm gonna add some white for this white. I'm using just resins titanium It's a great white. It's very opaque and I just need a little bit of it to add Just some extra little something in there because I don't want it to be just a boring flat red Anytime use the paste you want to stir it just a little bit Because some will separate and that's not a bad thing It's not a thing at all. It's just something you have to If you want the best version of whatever color you're using you have to make sure that you're Getting a bit of all of it so when it separates You may leave part of some important Something that's in there out Just getting rid of anything that may have fallen out Right, so I have my white my green and my red. I'm gonna leave the green for now set that aside and Now I'm gonna make some petals. I'm just pouring bits out And I'll just shape it with the star stick so petals are Kind of round kind of oval Sometimes they have some points at the top so I'm just going to Spread this resin out into a petal-esque Shape petal-esque. Is that like a word? I don't know if that's a word So the nature of resin is that it's gonna go wherever it's already been so if I just Scoot it to different areas. It'll fill in All these little voids But I'm gonna help it along just because I want it to be kind of an even coat It's gonna be really difficult for me to be patient and just let this set up I'm gonna have to like Make it an out of sight out of mind situation Until like 12 hours from now or it should be good enough to Form My rose some of them I'm gonna make more Oval than others because they're gonna be like More interior petals and so I'm gonna be rolling those up First level of petals done I'm just gonna scoot this to the edge of the board that I have them on Make sure that they don't fall over that side though because that wouldn't be good more red When you're mixing more resin or more color into your Design make sure that you don't take the stick that you have with resin on it and put it back in your pot of color because You will not like it when you open your color again And it has completely seized up because you have resin in it So save yourself that stress and just Don't risk it Get a new stick You don't have to add glitter. I'm just going to because I feel like it gives it another dynamic I mean if you're making a rose, it's probably for a lady or someone That likes glitter anyways because rose But feel free to leave that out if you don't have any or if you're just not a glitter fan for some reason Always check to make sure you're where your edges are so you don't pour outside of it and cause problems You know flowers aren't ever really perfect. So you really don't have to worry about that. It's kind of like when you do geodes I think people put too much thought into it being Perfect everything and nature is not perfect. So If you have something that's just slightly off, it's actually usually more visually interesting Then it would have been otherwise. So just keep that in mind and don't stress out about it's not a perfect circle or perfect oval Doesn't have to be you can always pluck an actual petal off a rose for reference But I think that will just give you anxiety to make something an actual like specific particular shape And ain't nobody got time for that Another cool thing about resin is it will stay within whatever Area you Want it to be in so since there's a little bit of extra out here It may actually run into that but other than that it's gonna stay at the boundary that I've given it By pushing the resin out like this So it will only go to the edge of this if you wanted to you could do molds But I feel like that's just too much effort And it's just not necessary in my opinion that's not to say you can't or shouldn't That's just I'm not going to because this is effective and The resin will dome to the edge and if you do a mold and you have like that sharp edge That you're gonna end up having to sand down and it's a headache for me I'm just popping the bubbles a little bit a little bit of heat will do it Now I'm gonna add some white detail like I did in other You can get specific with this and like do it a certain design if you want to I'm gonna be pushing it with my Heat gun So I'm just trying to do a little bit really Now usually I'm a swipe person, but for this I'm just gonna Push it with this flat a post attachment That's all for these guys. I'm gonna let it just set up Make sure your paper is flat so that Your Pedals will finish flat. I'm gonna move this and then continue making pedals On the actual table. I'm going to continue making Pedals on this and then I'll just leave it here. I'm just gonna color inside of this Um This hasn't been in the resin yet, so I'm gonna use it to get more red out and I just wipe it on the side of my Bucket O resin Adding glitter also gives your resin a little bit of structure So that once you have your pedals in place, they won't completely wilt glittery redness Beautiful So now I don't have the Board underneath. It's just flat on this table So it doesn't really matter As long as your tables level Where you start pouring your pedals out at I Just realized that this table is not exactly level So we may end up with lopsided pedals, but again nature is not perfect So I don't have to be and it'll be fine either way My basic artistic style is just don't stress about it. It'll be fine. It's art and You can make any mistake You want and just call it a choice Used to do that in college all the time. I don't like to waste even a drop of resin It's not the cheapest medium to work with but it is one of the most beautiful If you want to reuse your buckets, all you have to do is take a rag with Alcohol on it the higher the proof the better Just wipe it out with colored resin a little bit more difficult But you can always see where you've missed because it's stained And our handy-dandy stir six you can get on our website artistilldeath.com Just wipe these off with And I'll call reg to and it'll be ready for your next use No, I need my something to shape these I have space to add my Leaves and I think I'm gonna add some glitter to these guys, too I'm gonna use the fine halo by just resin It's Crazy bananas disco sparkly That was way more than I intended but that's fine because beautiful. I should have this color back in stock This week at the latest the beginning of next week Now I don't know what I'm gonna use for the stem yet. So I'm gonna make enough petals for Whatever may pop up Maybe I'll just make a big stem of Green leaves. I don't know. I don't know what I'm gonna do Jerry's still out So making these into a leaf shape isn't that hard. You gotta do is put a point at one end And if you want to get fancy with it, you can do the Spiny kind of points that are in Rose petal leaves rose petal leaves, you know what I mean They're like blobbing together, but I'll just cut them with scissors after after they've set That is why it's super important to make sure your surface is level I think I'm gonna put a little bit of white in these guys, too Adding the whites completely optional. I just feel like it adds just a little bit of dimension Now we just wait
