 Video Friday without resin. Hey everyone, it's Friday, which means it's video Friday, and today I am going to answer a question that we get asked every single day. Do I really need to use a torch to get rid of bubbles? So I just wanted to show you a couple of the methods that are kind of floating around out there. All right, so the first one is blowing out the bubbles. So some people suggest blowing through a straw to, you know, get a more concentration of air. Oh, look, you can see it hasn't done anything. And in fact, I actually blew the resin right off the side. I've totally ruined my doming here. It's dripping down the side. Blowing not super effective. Maybe if you have something really tiny, like you're working on jewelry, it might be effective. But if you're working on a big piece, like imagine a canvas and you're trying to blow all the bubbles out, the resin is going to cure before you can even get through the whole thing. So don't blow the bubbles out. Okay, the next thing, a lot of people talk about hairdryers or heat guns. Okay, when you think about a hairdryer, it blows hot air. So what do you think is going to happen to your wet resin? You're going to blow air and dust and bits of hair and junk in the air all over your wet resin. So don't use a hairdryer. Heat gun, maybe a little bit better, but still let's take a look here. So the bubbles are popping a little bit. But look, you can see it's all those ripples there. It's pushing the resin. Right. And look on high. Again, the bubbles are coming out, but it's pushing the resin. And again, I just screwed up my doming here. And it's again blowing hot air. You could be blowing dust and all kinds of other stuff in the air into your wet resin. So really your best bet is to use a torch. Honestly, trust me, it's the best, best, best tool for the job. You can use a little butane torch like this one here, or for a big piece like the canvases behind me, you can use a propane torch. So I'll show you. I'll just turn it on here. Okay. So this is like super effective for a big canvas for something small like this little butane torch is perfect. So I've got our artist torch here. I'm just going to turn it on. Okay, look, it is getting rid of all these bubbles, but notice the resin is not moving at all. So I can go right at the sides here. It's not pushing the resin off the sides. It's not ruining my doming. And those bubbles are coming out so beautifully. Perfect. So I don't know. I think the results speak for themselves. If you really want to use the best tool for the job, it is a torch. Anyway, that's it for Video Friday. Join us next week. Video Friday with that resin. I think that's over.
