 Hello everyone We'll give you a second to come online and Watch us. You're hanging out with Dave and Jeff. Yeah, what's up? If you have any questions or ideas or funny things to say just type them out and then Jeff might read them But we've got a lot to do today If anyone from this know I have a microphone on and Jeff has a microphone on yeah, how does the sound level sound? Yeah, let us know if you're here, okay? And we're gonna get started Hope everyone's doing well on this Wednesday My kids are back in school Smaller class sizes, but they're so happy to be back, and I'm so happy to have them back Jeff what's happening with your children? They're going they start tomorrow. Oh, they start tomorrow. Well one's tomorrow one's next day, so JK SK and Just a staggered start and we'll see how it goes with the whole mask thing, but yeah Okay, so that Jeff sound is great Dave not as loud So let's try that if not then it might be the phone is only picking up and then I'll try and I'll try something else But yeah, keep us posted everyone. Good morning. Jewel. Good morning. JSN Season of the witch welcome back. Hey, Muriel What's up with that name? Hey, oh, yeah, we've talked about that a lot before Yeah, what is up with the name season of the witch? Afternoon Yes, I'm hearing everyone. Okay. Let's start walking around and looking at some things we'll do today Where we've been spending a lot of time experimenting with flowers in resin. We've had our best look at this one This one's the best one yet. Look at that. It's so great Now Season the witches are company. Oh, it's a company. What kind of company a season of the witch? Hey, Rebecca. Hey, Rebecca But one thing that we learned is lots of people that are doing this like professionally Like if you're gonna make this the thing you do like you are the flower in resin person at the fair then usually what you do is you use a compression Tank or compression chamber It's a terrifying looking device. It scares it scares the crap out of me But we'll go over we'll set up a flower that we have dried Why are you smirking Jeff? Sorry Maria's got our lunch and wine in hand. Oh good We should do that too and we're season of the witch does resin castings. No way neat Well, we're doing a lot more resin castings so we can learn together or you can teach us Anyways, Cody. What's up? Hi everyone? Let's just keep keep going. Someone said they think that I have ADHD in the comments. Really? Yeah So look at these are some lamps we were working on Very nice tinted it nice and pink. It's got some pearl stuff in there. Oh, yeah, these aren't perfect though We're gonna make them perfect. I'm not perfect. Look at this one's pretty darn close to perfect I just patched in a bunch of holes. I got a sand this part off Let's see the side there. Oh, yeah, there is a layer. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean when I pre-sealed It's pretty close, but it's not perfect. So the idea is we have these LED lamps I'm actually gonna be working with this one and You shine the light through it and it just illuminates and does a little lamp now makes a nice lamp. So There's a lamp So that's a real art so far, but there's some issues with bubbles I mean you want to pre-seal your wood pre-seal your wood like soak it with resin Before you do a thick cast with wood Make sense Absolutely, unless you're going for an underwater ball scene. Yeah, so let's just walk around. So we're gonna be doing this guitar You can have lights inside the inside the mold, I guess, right? Yeah, definitely We have some examples here somewhere. I'll pull them out of lights inside casting resin so we're putting this this is one of those a barbecue spinner things and I'm gonna be putting this guitar on it and I gotta put some weight here somehow figure out how to attach this. We'll be doing that soon. That's awesome That's something Hi, everyone if you're new to joining us and every Wednesday at one o'clock our time. We're in our west of Toronto We do this we walk we We we start off the videos by showing around what we might be working on today And then we do some stuff and then every Wednesday at one o'clock Happy birthday to Samia. Happy birthday Samia This video is dedicated to you So this is the pyramid remember there you go everybody. You've been asking for it. Here it is. I gotta sand it and Like if the mold has been used so many times that like the mold start to peel off onto the resin But there's flowers in there and salt and rocks and glitter and buttons and Palm palms and that's salt. I'll polish it up and we've you know, do some yeah Uh JSN who is an absolute loyal person who's been with us get-go. I believe yeah asking Yes an update on two things. Yes resin casting and The calculator for rounds. Oh, yes, I keep nagging the developers to do that calculator Because I know we're developing a bunch of things and that's on the list for sure, right? Yeah, we're doing a calculator for casting and then that the rounds one will get done, too But it's like designs are mocked up. There's so many things to do Problem, but no, thank you. We'll do that in the casting resin It's just making sure we can secure all the raw materials is we're making sure before we launch But it's great. I mean we're using the casting resin. We'll be using it today probably. Yeah, well, it's still in though It's a whole another art form Okay, let's keep walking around and then we'll start doing and then we'll start Dry flowers We got some flowers here we'll play with oh beautiful and then I asked Tracy to buy the prettiest pairs she could find Because we're gonna be duplicating fruit And there's a couple stages because we've done some experimenting with this There's a couple different stages to get a good mold then you can create resin casts of Real fruit or organic material So hello Laura from Pickering. Oh hi. I'm from Ajax boom, but then I moved to Mississauga for my wife and then we moved out to Burlington and now we move further to Dundas Yeah, nice. Oh, this is I think I talked to her. Yeah, you went to Pickering I too I'm just taking these stickers off of these pairs Because what we're gonna be doing is we're gonna be resonating these pairs and that's gonna Create a seal around them. So when we put our silicone around it to make the mold There's no off-gassing coming off of this organic material and putting little gas holes into the silicone mold so we're Why don't we just set up? I'll just do two of them So when you're making a duplicate of something you always have to think about how am I going to get the resin into the mold Once I want to make the duplicate. So here's one way the pair is the final thing It's gonna be sitting like that. So I'm gonna make an opening or Kind of like a channel that will pour the resin into And this will all make sense eventually So I'm gonna use this plasticine not only as the channel for where I'll pour the resin into our silicone mold but also as a stand For when I'm pre-resonating Doing a resin coat so that I can cast this Nice. Yeah, exciting. Yeah, but it's so neat when you pull out a Duplicate object So that makes sense so far, I'm gonna do two of them And then So I'm just using dollar store plasticine Yeah, a season which was just saying they use a string and frame it I guess Using string I guess is another option to probably suspend it. Yeah. Yeah string and frame there you go I used a funnel to pour into my strawberry mold. Oh sweet a funnel. Yeah, that's good. Yeah Good and we can make this if we would have pre-resin that strawberry The mold would be even better. Oh, yeah Strawberries are amazing So we're gonna be coating these today. That's one thing that we're gonna do Both of them. Yeah, let's go both of them. Let me kind of experiment in different ways Frame and string See this is the piece that we made out of salt So this is you know Himalayan salt or something but the salt keeps its color when you saturate it with resin Which is uh Good to know I guess, hey Okay The other thing I wanted to do today is so we're trying to figure out how we had playground sand And people are making all these ocean pieces of art The resin oceans but but they were suggested to try to make a desert So we use playground sand and that just got dark dark dark. It looked like wet sand So then we picked this up, which is colored decorative sand and I really like how it kept its color See? Yeah, that's really actually yeah, it's total. Yeah, so today we'll sand look today. We'll just finish this off and So the idea is you know, you went away to Barbados or something and you saved some sand in a shell and these are some dried flowers I'm just gonna sand this down And write some little message about memories Right. Yeah Nice message about memories and then I was gonna actually add a tiny bit of this pink Salt just to give it a bit more color kind of like a pinky sand then just kind of like that Yeah, it looks like a pinky sand and then you got a beautiful piece of art that was made with sand Where you don't want to be placed in you always have memories Otherwise, you just throw it in the drawer, you know Or you throw it out eventually But I guess you can't do that because I had to buy this thing, right? Okay Someone was asking are we available in India? um I don't know are we in some stores are we in some I guess retailers, but We were thinking India because India speaks English mostly With English labels, so we really want to get in India Can you like is there a retailer we should contact that you would go to because that's the best way for us to get in Mm-hmm and the casting resident. I'm sure yeah would would follow if we uh once we're there We would it would definitely have the casting come out as well So the hammer is actually better for this, but she's got a bleeder So you got it. It's okay. You got it Wow It's wrong or this way. I kind of like that. I think uh, no, uh I don't know. This is kind of nice. That's nice too. Yeah And Well, they say when you're reading you always your eye goes here first and it does go this pattern, right? So I like it. Oh, here's another thing to do For some reason every time my kids left their marker cap off for years. I've been saving their markers What do we do with all these? Donna says this should say the sands of time This one is mark my words I couldn't have sorting these by sorting these by color Maybe Rebecca. Oh, yeah Rebecca do you want to come to poor resin all over this and just sort it all back out and then Call it a day Lv. Daisy saying where is st. Rebecca when we need her? Yeah, Rebecca. Please come I don't know if she's on. I mean we had we have another Rebecca that's on here. I don't know if Oh melt the lids and poor resin interesting. I just started dying I'm melting the plastic. I don't know. Yeah, it's probably not very good. I don't know In fact, I need you to come help me. I can't sort all these lids Is she coming? Uh, I don't think she's on here What? I don't know. Is she still in a meeting? My wife? Yeah Jessica Tracy if you're on there Can you come sort these lids by color Or anyone that's nearby if you film over if you do something here, I could hold it while I I could show the whatever you do What do you mean? Rebecca would help though. Rebecca Colgan that's on here. Summer would be oh summer is helpful. Yeah Summer would just eat them all Look how cool this is are you looking Would anyone be annoyed if I just kept doing this for a while? Unless we got something to talk about Laura can be here in an hour and a half Okay All right, everybody we're gonna be live for an hour and a half plus the extra time to do it Hey gypsy beak is Rebecca as well. Everybody wants to help but nobody's here. Nobody's here now The only thing more fun than organizing this by color Is you know when you have like two or three pickled jars in the fridge And you consolidate them all in the one jar That is the best. Sorry that that's that's your go-to fun Thing I like to rush Like this Okay, you're lots of brown. They don't know what I'll do with them. Yeah, the kids would be great at this Yeah In with the pinks purples Just don't know if this is uh must see tv here I don't know what this is who out there you guys out there know about this asmr. I just heard about this recently and it's all about What is it like just the quiet speaking thing? Oh, sorry, yeah, okay, sorry like people want to see see days volume is still low I don't understand what's going on with this Very frustrating. I apologize to everybody. We're doing our best Yes asmr equals creepy. See Yeah, I think it's kind of creepy too. Yeah, you're getting some colors are forming here people You're the purple section Not yet Oh, I'd rather say hello to my mom who Snap this episode is also dedicated to my mother Jeff do you want to shout out to anyone? Yeah, I'll just give a shout out to my mom as well and my kids who are probably Getting ready for their first day of school and stuff This is good tv This is it. This is this is why you're all here. Oh the numbers are dropping We now have one person hanging on and it's probably your mom. There's only one person watching. No, I'm just kidding. There's a few How many people are watching more? I guess part of the part it's just like watching. This is what I tell everybody It's like watching baseball people that aren't baseball fans They like hockey or basketball in general people who like Football and baseball usually are clamped together and people who like baseball. I think so because Because there's so much waiting Um, and that's why I love football and baseball is because the anticipation of the big play And that's what we're doing here is we're building anticipation for a big. Hey, Janine Hey, Lina. Hey, Lina. Oh, I'm moving. I'm moving the camera too much. Okay. Good call. Lina. I apologize I will just move ever so slightly and gently to get at things Yeah, people are just loving this. Oh, put the glendaline Wants me to keep it up here. No, because you are obviously quite the attractive young man Glendaline So that's what I've been instructed to do so So you can see the focus and dedication I see it. Look at that Absolute focus I love sorting things by color. I our bookshelves at home. I sort them by color And it's good you because you remember you're like, oh, yeah that book it was blue And so you go to the blue section. Otherwise, what are you gonna do? You're gonna sort it by size You could do that, I guess or do you sort it by alphabetical? But then, you know, hard it is to keep on top of keeping alphabetical And here's here's an update here. Here's how we're looking This is fun. What are we doing? Hey, Eva. Uh, so what are we doing? She said did Dave get a haircut? Yeah, Dave did Michael's asking I went too short. I was thinking of growing a really really long next time Yeah, you had a yeah, I remember we have some old videos where you did have a quite long Remember you did that one where you jumped into the ocean or jumped into the lake? Oh, yes. Damn, my hair was long. Hair was long there. I think it was Speaking of oceans, how is everyone out there? I mean, I stopped looking at the news ever since I got a puppy So I don't know. Is the coronavirus still a thing? Is Trump still around? He is for now. Yeah, he is definitely around That no politic talk here. Well, the interesting thing is art resin is Half in Texas and half in Canada So it's just a clash of cultures but we make it work. Yep Fiona says they're doing okay Oh Good And Maria Who is the best is all good because wine's making it better Good Is it the early morning Maria? Oh, sorry, Eva. So what we're doing right now is Dave grabbed some Extra marker lids that his kids have just kind of popped off when the markers ran out or they were just having them around the floor And he kept them He's had them for a long time and now we're sorting them To make something. We don't know but he's got look at he's got all the rainbow colors organized here We're just kind of putting things around so We don't know we're gonna probably put it together And resin it That resin it and then maybe sand the heck out of it. Mm-hmm paint something on it and then call it a day Take the rest of the day off We are we are just an hour outside of Toronto in uh water down Yeah, water down. Oh, Kathy bought some of the resin and it's an awesome product. That's good to hear Let us know if you have any questions or if you want to share anything Uh, what's the best way to get resin off your hands? We actually recommend This product over here Uh, just put it on dry. Just kind of pump it onto your hands I'll just show it to you go Joe. It's called natural orange hand cleaner And uh, it just it has like a grain to it So it helps uh, take the uh any resin off of your hands and for that matter You could kind of make your own with what like sesame seeds or something Like yeah, there's always like hippie solutions. Yeah And you can rub salt on it. That's a good hippie solution. There you go But that that stuff it's actually for it's used in mechanic shops for getting all the grease off of your hand So again, like Jeff said, you do it dry and you can find and then wipe it off with a towel And you can find in the automotive section, but that stuff is by far the best Okay, I've come into a log jam in my brain Blues right next Doesn't it go Doesn't it go this way like green is after yellow and then blue and then purple. I just started with yellow So we're kind of oh, so we're gonna back end it. Yeah, okay Also purple and then blue And then yeah, yeah Here Look at that's even uh, that's good Oh, thanks for asking Mary Beth Dave. Are we okay? Are we okay? Yeah Yeah I think so. Are we okay? Yeah, we're good. Yeah, it's a teetering on chaos and order Which is a neat place to be I guess But the kids are back in school. It's just fantastic Totally fantastic and hopefully it stays like that. Yes Yeah And here's what we're forming here everybody Yeah, it's nice. This is so nice. This adds a little bit of color to our day Yeah And again, I've been saving these ever since I had kids which is now six years ago almost seven years six and a half years ago So these are all the markers that those freaking kids I say put your markers back on your your I even put a sign up That says don't forget to put your lids on But they can't read so that didn't help That's kind of much more purple But I seriously did put a sign up It should have made a diagram That's the problem. But if you want to enjoy your markers Let's do it back on I'm starting to hear about everybody out there that yeah people that are entertainment industry where people are Don't have their jobs or whatever. It is difficult. Definitely. So yeah hang in there support your friends wherever you can And the only other thing we know is a lot of people is create Do something with your you know with the time or make use of the time well with kids or family Yeah, it feels like a time to hustle. Even if you don't yeah come up with something new or create a new Opportunity, I don't think I've ever well, you always work hard, but this This type of stuff makes you work hard. Yeah, yeah, because everything could be gone You know Looking good, man, I know So what do we what do we think browns whites and blacks? Yeah, your name grace Hmm or leave it colorful. Indeed. Yep, Miriam. Uh, leave it colorful right? Well, it's full, right? It's pretty full. Oh, you can have the uh like a splatter of me I don't know The project kits. Yeah, um, so we have yeah because we have the Trinket dish kit and we have the petri kits There over there. Do we have them here? Well, this is yeah, I could show you the kind of the final results Here you go. Oh, yeah, so here's a kind of a tray here These are kind of the results you can get With the trinket dish, so it's like you get a mold like this In your in your kits and it makes these awesome cool little things here. Dave did one with a coin in there We have different colors you can do all sorts of ones. There you go different patterns. Oh, yeah, this is really cool this I was obsessed with And we did it where so if you pour it But into the mold into the mold here But then you kind of put it on its side to let it cure and you do another layer and put on side to let it cure And you can do kind of different patterns like that So that's kind of fun Same thing with this when we did on its side But yeah, we have all the best of the best that we did were uh are upstairs Well, yours are cool one too. So this is what comes with it as well is the alcohol ink And so it makes these amazing Different patterns inside there So that's the trinket dish And then the other one we have the same thing you get alcohol ink And uh a mold and you can make coasters like this Size these we just did for a video. We did some solid colors. Um, we see are they oh there they are This is stuck in here. Sorry. Apologize for the Just trying to get things one second. Oh, this is a heavy look So you can get dishes like that So this is what you can create with your petri kit and you get all these wicked tendrils that look like you're under water and makes these wicked cool patterns um on the back and the front And uh, yeah, and it comes with this. So you get a mold that has three different circle slots You get the alcohol ink and you get Mixing container and all sort and all that to uh make the petri dishes or the trinket dish So there you go There you go. So I decided I'm gonna take I'm gonna snap a photo of this And then I'm gonna mock up the font on the computer. Oh nice And then I'll bring it in under the carbon paper and I'll trace it out and make it really nice But that I'm this is gonna actually turn to something that I'm actually gonna like Which was never the intention. It was just to test the sand, but Yeah, but that's again the beauty of it is experiment. Have fun and look we can pop out of it You know, it's so random like didn't you was Hannah that just found or did you find that just in the drawer last week? Yeah, so cool. Okay, so I'm gonna take this home. Okay. We'll grab it This will be my golden lap All right, so we're not gonna resin that today. Cool Okay, we're gonna resin pairs We're gonna pour a bunch of resin on top of those bubble caps Kathy wants Uh, you'd use a cricket. We don't have one here. Oh a cricket. Yeah So we're just gonna talk about drying flowers Then we're gonna take a dried flower set it up in a mold really quickly And then put it in the compression chamber if you get a perfect absolutely Perfect for you're wearing socks today. People notice that you're usually barefoot. Yeah, it's colder here today No, that's not why it's because I was in a meeting and it was really long And I was like I got stuff to do so I was picking out my calluses Okay, I'm being barefoot all the time and I by uh kind of like ripped into the raw skin Underneath the callus and so this is padding. Wow. Yeah, there you go. You wanted to know people Uh, Dave did say hi to his mom sandy. So yeah, thank you sandy. What a game mom Uh, nice to see you you should get a dog And you go to the dog park and you meet all these nice people. There's so many nice people And dogs playing and you can go for walks. So and I'm suggesting uh A miniature golden doodle So it's like a so a poodle and a golden retriever but a miniature poodle and a golden retriever And that's what I'm suggesting. Wow for temperament and like a good sized dog. Yes, sandy. You can fit it under your arm Um, someone wanted to see the uh, Mona Lisa. Oh, yes. I want to finish that today Guys, let's do one thing at a time. Mona Lisa's raised it right there We're going to touch up the mask. I have a bit of blue and white paint And then scrub it Sand it down do a final coat of resin and be done with it There you go. All right, I'll show it to you. Yeah, go ahead. Um, sorry, I forget Miss the name of was it alexis was asking about the How to not get the drips uh in the bottom of the white drips in the bottom of the petri dishes Uh, I actually recommend Premixing if you can get little containers you can pre-mix the colors and it creates a really nice opaque kind of more of a Pastel color like an Easter kind of color If so, if you pre-mix them and then drop then you'll you won't have any white drops You'll just have the colored drops And again, if you actually wait so it doesn't go down as far Then uh, you won't actually have many drops at the bottom at all. So there it is. There's Mona Lisa And she's got her mask on There she is Dave has got a few things he wants to still touch up and says he wants to kind of finish up A couple of little parts there Yeah, anyways, there she is. There's the resin shine looks so good and uh Yeah, that was paint And uh, yeah Looking pretty good So I just want to kind of match the Dian says Mona looks fab. That's very nice dian. Thank you Oh, what are you gonna do? Oh, you're gonna I need a bit more green It's not a blue blue You need a touch of green And also i'm just gonna Sand it first to get rid of the high parts And there you go Looks pretty good I like it. I like when you pull back look at that just Like a beautiful flat surface, but then you have the mask on I think that looks really good I think that I'm gonna cover it This is definitely a print of the Mona Lisa But it is the actual size of the real Mona Lisa. Yeah, I built it. I'll show you the back just so you can see So this will just scrap what in my garage I don't know it's a piece of something these are just two by twos And I didn't even do nice corners. I just filled it with putty But uh, look at it. It's great So I'm just putting a touch of green here Just a touch touch touch touch touch Actually, look at that's close, right? It's Yeah, it's kind of what you're right. It's got more of that Yeah, would you call it or something? I don't know. Yeah, it's like a light teal What would you call that color like uh, the kisha wants to be the retailer in india? Oh, yeah, sure. Let's do it Firing email sales at art risen. Yeah, or you'll be talking with tracy. I don't know. TRAC-EY So actually before I do this I wanted to sand down the Mona Lisa's face With my sandpaper It was right here, wasn't it? Oh, where's Hannah? I'm gonna need a Hannah or your wife Well done That's well done. Oh, when you need a Hannah Oh, like a hand. Oh, I thought you were making a joke. Oh, I didn't even know that was a joke Amazing Where's the sandpaper? I don't know I just used it. I don't want to scan anything What's right here? Perfect Here you go That's close. That's about using your brain Okay, we'll fix this all up. I just want to get rid of the highest peaks So I can actually get the resin coating in Got it. Thanks. Oh, here we go. I'm just fixing that curve. Yeah, don't inhale the dust when you're Okay Wet cloth All right Out of the white So it's nice. I didn't want to look like too Much like it was painted. Yeah, so just getting rid of brush strokes. Yeah pushing it in. Nice There's some That's one thing I've always noticed when you ever you usually work with your painting is that you always have a ton of paper towel Or whatever because you like to wipe a lot. I like to subtract. Yeah. Yeah, that's cool It's not a bit of that wipe back in Down here. It's actually the white It would lv daisy. Love daisy lv daisy Be cool to have the marker one in a school classroom or something. Yeah Yeah, good idea. Maybe I'll give it to the school or something Okay, keep this white I lost a bit of the the white became slightly Translucent, so I'm just going to bring back the Yes, it will be available post live. Uh, oh Jen is lv daisy Um, and uh, that was not chalk. It is marker caps marker lids and Yeah, that's right. Maria probably didn't need to Who's gonna smile and you gotta sit there for so long to get your picture A portrait done Okay Ken This is a white here. Oh, yeah It doesn't look natural And the good thing about resin is it's it's forgiving. I can uh fix all this just by pouring more Okay, what do you think? All right, a couple more dots of white in there Just only here Just a couple make it look Something more artsy It looks good. Yeah, I guess you look at it. It's just like it's like a Wow, it's almost like it is. Yeah, like part of the painting. Well done. That's kind of What do you guys think? It's what's the verdict? Cool little quick idea that Dave had and then boom there we go You know resin it though or no? I'm not today, but eventually I'll get I'll see I'm the whole thing do one final resin coat. Yeah But I'll put it like this so people can see And say like oh look at that Laquisha, I think you go to sales at art resin dot com or just actually go straight to tracy t r a c e y At art resin dot com. Okay. So what should we do now? I think you can set up a flower for a resining in the compression tank And we want to resin these pairs and this thing. So why don't we just do that? I'm not gonna do Well, we'll quickly do silica sand So silica sand All right, you let it sit for like a week. Yep with the flowers in there. So A good method is you kind of sprinkle in between all the petals And set it in the silica sand and then cover So these ones are already dried and they're ready to be resin and it will hold that color So it does lose a bit of a saturation, but it depends on the Biochemistry of the flower How how colorful it will stay? So then you just want to completely emerge your flowers in silica sand and leave it for a week Okay, okay, so let's get a mold I'm just gonna do a really small square Do we need to get asked if there's a potential resin mixer? To make up some resin for us Is there anybody watching upstairs that could come down and help us mix up some resin? I promise not to put you on camera So what is that inch and a half by inch and a half silicone? Yeah, this will be just easy to do and we're trying to get perfect results now there's A couple of different methods and i'm going to try a different method which is kind of scary Is if you hand your flower upside down It's hard to not get air bubbles that side If you have it right side up That's a better chance, but that means you have to ruin your mold you put a hole in the mold Let this do then tape off the bottom I don't like to make this right But I just want to get the perfect result and show people how to get a perfect result Okay, here's a pin in a mold which just makes me so sad Oh boo It's okay. Now let's see if we can get this through there, which is the tricky part I've done it before No, I'm not gonna be able to Give a screw What's the best Jen's road tripping punch and I need you Jen I need you Okay, how do I make a bigger hole in this? Yeah, we're trying to see if there's a safety pin or something a little thicker. Oh, what's in the back there? No, those are feathers Jeff's opening the feather in Hot glue Yeah, I was thinking that hot glue it down But we got a hole now Bigger hole Very carefully this stuff's so picky and difficult Do you see it? Did you go through? No, I spent it so close to giving up No, no don't give up never Here we go. Success. I got it. Nice Jen I was so close to giving up Jeff you told me to give up But I said no Jeff. I will not give up. Don't give up You still have So I like doing friends one instead of pouring halfway and embedding the object. I'm really all about One pour get it done One pour get it done Okay, oh you could cover it with liquid latex To cover the hole afterwards so you can There you go boom. Wow great suggestion Sometimes when you're just when you're just doing you don't you know, there's other solutions out there too That's why it's good to have everybody here with us. Yeah Uh, do you want to yell upstairs for some redden mixtures? Yeah Because I don't want to yell because I'll probably scream into this phone I'm just cutting it off. I'm gonna just tape it and tape the bottom Oh, okay So that's our Dried flowers right scepter So we've done a lot of these to find the best way to do it This is the best way. That's good But I'm gonna put it in the compression chamber because that is the best way Yeah, I'm excited for that actually because we have not done that yet. Have we with the flower? I'm not with the flower. No, no But if again, if you're gonna be doing flowers as a business Or embedding objects as a business you might want to invest in the compression Someone was asking where you get them and I believe you did you get yours on Amazon Dave? Where did you find one? I found mine on ebay and I never go on ebay, but someone The chemist for our resident suggested the one he he goes on ebay. I guess in Texas They would use ebay the ebay. I don't none at all actually it's either amazon or kijiji for the used stuff Okay, so I'm gonna line up everything we're resonating on one side of the table So we're nice and other nice Okay, uh, okay, I'll try calling Can we get a resin fixer? Still obsessed with this. This is just cool I just want to do like a so we're just doing three things pair Flower and flower. We're gonna pick us pair flower and marker caps pair Flower Marker caps, right? And we pay you one Lisa. We're gonna make some other day We also this angle in here, let me get the compression Compression is the chamber It's working So I'm plugged in Here's my hunk switch Hello, hey Rebecca. Hey Rebecca's here everybody We're mixing up a tiny bit of thick cast and a tiny bit of air Help us mix that Everybody's saying hi. Oh, yeah, no camera. Okay. No camera day I promise whoever comes down doesn't have to be on camera All right, Rebecca, can you mix up? Wow, we got we got hey st. Rebecca. We've got hi Rebecca. We've got hello, Rebecca Yeah, people are waving queen becks queen becks Uh, uh, uh, can you do two cups and two cups and then I can be a final mix Jen resin two cups hardener And I'm gonna mix up a bit of our resin Sweet All right, since we are here, me, Jeff and Rebecca, I'm wondering if we could Talk about our marriage Yes That's not awkward. No, that's Well, let me be your sounding board Yeah, what's the most marriage during COVID? What's that been like? Well, we have all these other people All these other people want to come and help out. I gotta watch here because sound probably Won't go to Rebecca. Suck her Jen And I said I wouldn't put anybody on camera. So here you are So I have the resin out right over here. Boom. Load it up ready to go I already have before filled up two cups of resin Two cups of hardener make sure that's enough And I'll do it Mm-hmm All right And maria's coming with the wine Yeah, a good old Maria Rebecca, would you drink wine at this time at the start of COVID? You were much more into wine at this time Yeah, weren't we all that COVID was here to stay for a while? Every day every hour Someone was asking about the spray paint if you missed it last week here is the result of Dave's spray paint Which is Pretty awesome. We're very all of us were pretty obsessed here at the office of the um Someone was saying it's like an ice field. Sorry Dave. What's that? This was mirror spray paint metallic and it didn't turn into a mirror I don't know why they call it mirror spray paint Huh? I don't know I don't how do you live with that? This is a mirror spray paint. It'll look I made a picture of a mirror on the front of This spray paint bottle It sounds like you're saying mayor He also says zero Zero zero What mirror zero So count down to zero from 10 from five five four three two one zero What do you say zero zero Well, I say catch up which supposedly I say it wrong I don't say cats up. I never I never I never say cats up. I say catch up Yes, catch up That's amazing this from the teacher What am I teaching my kids? Oh, what's how do you say, uh, garage garage garage garage garage What do you say garage Not garage not garage garage Grudge Like you're gonna gradually pour this out. This is so hard Two to one mixing ratio so much math and thinking Should I show that bottle? I shouldn't show Uh-oh look out Look out Look out Look out There's the two ounce and the four ounce Two ounce and a four ounce The old two ounce or and four ounce are right there. What do you think of the marker lid project going on beside you? Get your room. Okay. Now. All right. Now that I'm here in between the two of you I brought you here today. Yes. I want to talk to you about about your marriage. Yeah Are there any Can I start? I want to go first Jeff you're gonna work with us and put up with us. Poor Jeff. Lucky Jeff is what I say What you got there was that the thick cast okay, so you got thick cast rebecca is wow rebecca is missing she's gone missing somehow She's invisible has dr. Phil arrived john asks How's he still around is he still doing his thing? Zero zero tomato tomato says Season of the witch We've done crayon art actually Cindy and uh the we haven't had the Crayons melt from the resin. It's actually usually when you do the melting of the crayons That's like just to have if you want to have the drip. It's kind of going the um, that's where you kind of get the Melting, but the resin itself will just go over and won't won't cause a heat Any heat to melt it? Yep, here we go. Hold on. What are we doing? Oh, yes. Okay. So once again back it up We right now have put a flower inside the mold. Dave poked a hole in the bottom It's now centered. It looks good. This has been dried for over a week, right Dave? Yeah And with silica gel and now Dave has got uh some product of a casting resin called thick cast And he's now pouring it into the mold and put it right on top of the flower. Oh nice holding it up there And if all goes well No, no No, Janine Joanne is not with us. Yeah, no really Joanne, um married to someone in indianapolis By the way, a huge Colts fan and a huge Joanne fan over here. Yeah Yeah, it was so sad. Joanne was with us for so long. No, I mean it was so happy Oh happy for her. Yes, but but selfishly. We're sad. Yeah You don't get someone as multi-talented as Joanne like ever ever No, I kind of like how about rebecca's resin rebecca's resin. Duh Like there's gonna be a logo already built in there. That's crazy No, you don't know what's on your bottles. It's on the instruction sheet. Is there? Oh, yeah, you're right. Correct. Correct So this is a piece of plastic and I'm putting it in the bottom of my compression chamber Oh smart. Nice because does it overflow Dave? Is that a thing? No, not worry about overflowing. Okay, it might You know, you might spill something. Okay It's just I'm being very careful with this So it does have some bubbles from the mixing And it's just from the mixing but now we're gonna try and Use this to get how long do you have to put it in there? Are you just gonna take it out the next day? You get pressure in the pot and then so why don't we go over again? This is a vacuum chamber, right? This is called a vacuum pump and once that's doing that a vacuum is uh Pulling the resin together so that the bubbles are pushed up to the top But then if you release the vacuum the bubbles go right back in So that's one method you have to cure you have to keep it in a vacuum for the entire curing process compression chamber seems to be The one most people use and again, we're still learning about this too But compression chamber it does the same thing instead of creating a vacuum It just it it just pressures lots of air in there And forces all the bubbles up that way so That's what we're gonna do Goodbye flower It's been nice It's been nice knowing you and working with you. See you later. We'll see you Godspeed doesn't look like some type of device that you'd fly into the land on Mars. Yeah, seriously. I feel like this was built It's a what? Module It does look very very but more like more like like 70s movies high tech like 70s exactly like this is the russians made this This is how they fake the moon landing is they built stuff like this to make it look like we know what we're doing Okay, so you just tighten these down so that It doesn't explode. This is a scary thing. The good thing is there's this air safety valve So I have to reach a certain point this thing will pop. Oh smart the arrow as opposed to the whole thing exploding Killing everyone. That's probably a good idea. I'm glad you brought all that up as I yeah Tremble going upstairs back to my desk after this Yeah, okay. So now what we do So I'm gonna leave. I don't know if this is open or closed. Great. I'll just step back here so If I open this So all just start working. Okay, I gotta close this good I know right Here we go. You're letting air out. So you want air to stay in Oh Okay, so this was this was open just closed and now air is going in you can hear it. We'll see this going up That's the pressure So someone is asking that they're waiting on information. Was that going up? That's going up. Yeah, it's going up. Yep They're waiting on information about pinholes. Sorry. What was your full question? I don't I don't remember What your full question is about pinholes and what that's relating to fire it away and we'll answer Okay, um, okay, so rebecca makes to thank you rebecca. Oh, she's gone. Oh my god So rebecca said I would have cleaned these before and I said well, then you make your own marker Okay, so here's what we're doing today Just like this and then I'm gonna get messy and just move it all around That's what it's all about You put your resin in And you keep it in you put your resin in and you pour it all about okay And then I wanted enough to put these pairs I gloves on so this is just To keep these pairs from breathing Once we cover them in silicone to make molds so This is all I'm doing just you want to coat the whole thing kind of But now we're on a timeline If I don't do this soon enough within the week or so we find out and I'll start rotting and Some bad things might happen I see I think the question for maria is if you get a little a few little holes maybe Bubbles or whatever once you do a light sanding after you do a first pour Will the resin fill in those pulling holes if you do a second coat? Definitely. Yeah And it won't really show Like circles it'll disappear. It'll mesh together. So it is a good off It is definitely recommended to pour a second coat after a light sanding Get those holes open and do it up. Okay, so I'm just covering all this This is a common technique for marker lifts. Is this this is uh, how the pros do it So, yeah, there's like pointillism and Yeah acrylics and oil painting story and marker lid Creation I don't know what it is. No, no problem, Maria. Sorry it took a while. Um, this is this is I'm going to keep working on it until all of a sudden it's just a finished piece of art made out of lids People will cheer You know what you know what this makes me think of those art You know what people have taken like a gun shells And they've done that where they've put on a board and they have just dump a whole bunch And then they probably resin them or whatever, right? So this is like your response to Violence. Yes But a boom Make art make love not war make art not war boom Okay, live captured Do you want to call it a day? It's been 57 minutes Yeah, let's call it a day. That was a great session So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to turn this off Close this off so there's pressure inside this tank and it's just being held And then I'm going to release all the this is a thing here too I'm going to release all the air out of the clean here And here Dianne that was Dianne is obviously very creative because she just wrote Whatever what's that the shake it all about whatever that song is called She did a whole resin version like an art resin version. Okay. You need to check out comments for next week and Dianne you got to come back and we'll have something for you because that is brilliant what you just wrote I tried to grab it quickly. So I didn't get to look like you wrote a brilliant art resin jingle. Anyways, David Goodbye everyone. Thank you for watching Wednesdays. It's nice to be here with you and I hope you Just make something too We'll talk to you later. See you
