 Alright so we just put some sealer bonding primer. Look at this little toilet. This is for this little girl's bathroom. This is what we used. Valspar bonding primer sealer. Sandable, all that fun stuff. Let's go in and take a look at the other bathroom. What grit sandpaper is that? I believe it's a... Nobody knows. It's a 220. I think this is a little bit different. A little bit different. Super fine 220. Yeah, I mean it's not as... Is that your dress? Wow. It's so pretty. As usual make sure that you have equal parts no matter how big or how small the pieces that you're doing a pour on. Whether you're measuring it in ounces or by the weight or by marks on a cup, doesn't matter what it is as long as it's exactly equal. This is the sink we're about to do. We've masked off all the parts that we don't want any paint or any resin or any anything on including a bottom of a mirror because... Yeah. So, about to do this. So now that you have your resin mixed evenly and thoroughly, separate your resin into different cups that you want to mix colors into. What's wrong? That's not a lot. No, I'll mix more. When you're using acrylic paint, it doesn't take a lot at all. A dab will do ya, so to speak. Mixing this up, you're gonna see bubbles. Don't worry about that. It's just air from mixing in two parts into each other. We need the heat gun. It disperses the air bubbles because it kind of melts the resin just a little bit. It liquefies it, which makes it easier to move around as well as easier for the bubbles to escape the surface of the resin. That's your science tip for the day. When you're mixing your resin, scrape the sides, scrape the bottom, and scrape your star stick. This will ensure you don't get any weak spots in your resin. Gold, Rust-oleum, gold metallic. That's the good stuff. We'll use this little thing. You can make bigger puddles. You can drag it out with a point with it. These are like wooden shish kabob sticks. How do you want me to do this? Just like there and just kind of make it a puddle and just kind of drag it out. Yeah, and then just blow on it just like that. I like how this looks. She's gonna like like parts like this where it's like deep to faint. Yeah, that's that's what I like is when you pour it over it and it goes over that paint. Pour the white over the paint? No, just do it and then you blow it and then it goes over some parts. Gotcha. I don't know if I'll I'm gonna put this down. So client also wanted gold leaf, therefore you're adding gold leaf. It's basically gold that's pounded down into T tiny AB flat sheets. They're super delicate and flimsy, but they look great. Sometimes you have to unfold gold leaf unless you get the sheets, which is cool, but it wouldn't look very natural. So we got like just chunks, but you can't just put the chunks in because it'll leave too much texture. It'll stick out. So you have to unfold it very delicately. Oh, they're spent. So here's the first one. The resin cups. This is just clear, right? We can fill you with this. And the one the last the one with the cup, the stick in it that I just used, it's uh, yeah. Here's the first thing, pink marble, gold leaf. When you do this, don't forget to get the edges. Even if they're not textured beveled edges like this, it's super important to continue your design all the way over. It gives it a better, more natural look. Better, more natural. So we're going to let this set and then we're going to come back in and do a clear coat. Miana. Now we got to go do the other bathroom. This one same as the last one. Equal parts, mixed thoroughly, script sides, the bottom, and also the stick to make sure you get as much as you can off because equality is important together and equal. So if you've watched any of my videos before you've heard me say a thousand million times, the reason why it's important to have equal parts is because if you have too much resin, it will never set. You'll have a gooey mess forever. And if you have too much hardener, your working time will be greatly reduced depending on how much extra hardener you put in. It's also important to mix everything together thoroughly because if you don't, you'll end up with like spots of more resin or spots of more hardener and it'll be a weak spot in the resin. So if it all sets hard, but you have a weak spot, the weak spot will be gooey. So you'll have to scrape it up, sand it down, and do at the very least a top coat. So in the interest of saving time and money, just mix it thoroughly the first time. Since a client wants pink and white and gold marble-ish look, that's what we're going to get for her. So what we do is a clear coat in sporadic areas, and then we go over. All right, pro tip. When you buy resin, um, do what we did not do today and check your hardener because it will yellow over time. And this is what it looks like when you're hardener yellow. This is what it should look like. This is just the resin parts, part A. It's part B. They should be the same color, but it's not that detrimental if they're not the exact same color, especially because we use a lot of tints in our artwork countertops. So it's not that big a deal, but it could be if it was just like if we did an airbrush piece and did a clear coat over it, it would be a problem. So what Jeff is doing right now is marbling out the white that we added on top of the clear. The reason why we do the white on top of the clear is so that you, um, get the depth of the white laying over. I'm going to just take you guys on a little ride so you can see more up close of what it looks like when you lay. There's just no way to get a good shot of resin. Too shiny. All right, I don't know if you can see it, but I see the shadow over that line. That's what happens when it's not close to me. Since we can't tilt this, use a roller to feather it out so that the lines aren't as harsh. We just got this roller from Michaels. It was like three dollars. The cheapest foam roller. Don't use a cloth or, um, what's the other kind of roller? Is that fuzzy kind? What is it? Anyways, don't use that kind. Use the foam kind. It gives it that really good, wispy look. It's like done. It could be, it could absolutely be done right now. Let's keep this out. Just lay that right there. Any more white? All right. Many of you asked if we mix resin into this. It's not. It's just pure spray paint. We spray it into the cup. Oh, this is why I say use heat with parental supervision. It's in my new knot tattoo. It's from the fire end of a heat gun. You can see that. Mm-hmm. Matches. It's perfect. How's that? And I laugh with love, people. I laugh with love. Are the people still in there? People? All right. If it looks like this, see how it's got a little bit of chunks in it? I don't know if you guys can see it. It looks a little bit gritty. No bueno. Barofsky crystals. Just blingin' for a baby pit. Baby bed. It's beautiful. Wait till you guys see this sink. It's kind of amazing. All right. This is a little, uh, a warning to everybody that uses a heat gun. You see this? Do not touch your skin to it or it looks like this. Yep. She is trying to start a new trend, I think. It's like a tattoo, but not a tattoo. If you're a true resin artist, you will definitely get a scarification. There you go. Mark a resin artist. Corrental supervision. Corrental supervision. Watch it. We just got layer one done today. We'll be posting. Babe, where are we going? Cocktails and bakery. Looks like a pretty cool spot. Check it out. Shocker. It's snow. Okay, are you ready to get hit by an eyeball? No, because if you hit me with that and all that dirt gets on me, just like on your hands. Yep. And it's super nice out today. And there's snow on the ground. I have my jacket in my hands. And we just came from that diner and don't eat there. If you're in Frederick, Maryland, do not eat a double tea diner. It is, it was really bad. We're going to walk over to Chick-fil-A. Good old staple. With their line. With their line. Whoever not in a car, not a boy, no. It's just, we love it. Love what you do. You enjoy it. All right, so we're sanding it for the second coat, but we have to extra sand it because of the, we put actual gold leaf in it. You can feel it slumpy. So what you want to do is sand it with the 220 sand it all down and then you'll be able to see where it's kind of shiny and you can feel it if it's raised. So that way you know where you have to take this, the course. This is very coarse. This is 120. It's very coarse. And what you do, take it, fold it up into little, little, little parts that you're not using this whole thing and scratching up stuff you don't really need to. So fold it to a little piece so it's nice and flat. And just wherever you feel it, just give it some good pressure. Try to stay in this area. Do it in a couple different directions. Now this doesn't just scrape all the gold leaf off since a lot of it's on the top layer. No, it just, it just hits whatever is too high, whatever's too high because we poured that resin over it. Gotcha. Remember, and it knocks it down. And even if it does, it's, I mean, you can still see it, it's shiny. These are, these are dipped in. That's why that sandpaper didn't take it off. So that's not a problem because the resin will fill all that. There's still some that is kind of raised, but the top coat will not. Yeah. This, this, this is actually flush. It's just so you can feel the underneath because if it wasn't all that shiny would be taken off. So that's why when we were laying it out the first time we covered it in clear resin. So then you take this, take the 220. You can use 220. You can use 300, whatever's in your hardware store. This is a nice, this is something to start off something to sand with if you're trying to sand something that you don't want big grooves in, especially with resin. Then you just sand where you sand. You can feel it as you sand it, how it was coarse. And as you sand it, it gets smoother. There you go. Now it's ready. Just kind of go into your other spots that are not a little high. So you just stay in your little area. Try to do it in different directions. So you're not carving, you're not carving big craters in there. We're just gonna, we're gonna circle it again. Doesn't take much pressure. Yeah. And that is flushed. Perfect. So now we're gonna do that over all the high points. So it's ready for a second coat. So what we're doing is we're adding more gold leaf to the second coat, but we want to put it on before so it doesn't float to the top and you'll be able to feel it, feel it, feel it, whatever. So what she's doing is she sprayed some Elmer's adhesive spray. Any spray adhesive will do, just something sticky. And kind of just lay it down in the direction that you want it. I don't know if you can see it. I don't know if you can really see it, but she just kind of put it on there and just went along with the pink. You're not going to cover it, but we're just going to kind of make it so it goes with it. So it looks very cohesive and natural. What you do is just get your loose. We got a bag. It's just basically crushed gold leaf. There's a lot in here. Like you could, we could have this for a good six months to a year. And we use it quite frequently. And just lay it down over the adhesive. And if you want, you could put it down and just kind of rub your hand over it a little while it's still kind of wet. So then the adhesive gets on your fingers, then it picks up the excess gold leaf and it'll spread it to the other parts of the adhesive that you have down. And it kind of makes it fade a little bit. But you could wait a good five, 10 minutes. Yeah, right now it's too tacky. If it's too tacky, it'll come out. So you can wait a little bit. We usually lay the whole project and then we'll go back and do that part. You can use like a light brush or or a light rag. You don't want to you don't want to press on it because then you'll you'll put marks into the gold leaf. It'll it'll dull it out and it possibly could scrape it up. But see here's one piece that that we did where we laid the adhesive down and then put it on and just kind of wiped over it like this. She had just done this piece. So what you do is just wipe it off. Just gently drag your finger, see the excess comes off. Just gently drag your hand over it. There you go. You could do this under the first layer if you wanted to. If you wanted to be exact with your gold placement, but this the kind of look we're going for isn't supposed to look. What's the word? We want it to look natural and random. Intentional. And I was going to show you this faucet. I don't even know. I've never seen a faucet like that. It's kind of amazing. There's a piece down here that you guys have to see. It's really well done. So I think later on today guys tonight I think we're gonna go right over there. Crab on. You can get her crab on. Apparently Baltimore is known for crab culture and heroin. Fun fact. Time for the top coat. Now I know that there's like calculations for the measurement but it just never turns out to be the amount that we calculated. So we just mix what we think it'll take and we usually have to add more but that's fine. For this we're starting out with 16 ounces. Our top coat. We got some resin yesterday that turned out to be yellow so we went and got another batch of resin that was the clearest one we had. We could find the wall mask off. Sink mask off. Swan mask off. Under. Under the table. Under the table mask off. All that's new masking because we took the original off yesterday. We need to do that within two hours so that it's the easiest removed. And it gives it, it lets the resin set enough to where when you pull the tape off it'll it'll look like you're pulling the resin out but it'll just come right back and settle in like because it's not all the way settled so that's the it'll let it settle back into the wall or into the sink and it'll just be really nice and smooth. So if you leave it tape on there you're gonna have to cut it and there's always edges and tape sticks and the and the resin sticks to the tape and it just looks trashy it just looks terrible so you'll have a mess if you let that tape sit. So easiest just take it off within one two hours after you initially lay it. We left all of the floor masking on from yesterday because why not? And we figured out when you're pouring and there's you're bound to get drips on the floor randomly and your your feet touch it it's gonna stick it's gonna stick to the paper it's gonna stick to the plastic you're gonna pull this up you're gonna track it everywhere so what she figured out is just take your shoes and your socks off or you can keep your socks on and just make it to where the plastic goes underneath your foot and just put your feet underneath and just move accordingly and there you go. Pro tip number two today. We're just giving all the secrets. Pro tip Saturdays. That's what we should do is just wait and just make videos of all the pro tips you know just piss the other resin people off and tell all the secrets. I'm sure they're already irritated with us because we post full images for our like videos for all the children. Clear? Let's get to it. So as usual scrape the sides the bottom the stick all the things. I'm in time out from the heat gun Exhibit A. Popping all the hair bubbles and warming up resin makes it a lot more fluid easier to move around. You don't necessarily want to pour it all the way to the edge yet because then you're just going to lose epoxy and doing this will warm it up to where you can you can manage it you can you can make it go to the edge and just fold off until you the very end and then work it around the edges. This is why we don't want to push to the edge too soon because since one drop went over it'll follow itself but had to happen eventually. You just prefer to wait to the end so that everything on the counter is covered first. There's a good thing about this stuff is self-leveling so you'll find its way to air bubbles but those will come out when we hit it with the heat gun again. Alright so we're taking the tape off and it's best to wait an hour so two hours I'd say about two hours no longer heat it up with the heat gun so that it gets a little loose and you want to try to take it off from the direction that you put it that you put it on like pretty much backward so you see those drips are just coming right off because it's stuck mine's gonna probably rip there we go that's it good and clean no bombs I'm for the other one I want to start in the opposite way when you lay it down so that the tape that's laid over itself comes off with the perfect with the other tape oh good the edges are amazing look at that okay I'm scared I googled it right I did the research and it said to pull this out I don't know what the technical term for this is I'm scared okay then you have to so what are you thinking I'm thinking I'm scared oh is this your first one no okay you got it oh my god the seasoning's good so pull that out pull it out so like just have to like so don't yeah there's a lung so you don't eat this those are lungs yeah those are crab lungs and you want to scrape like put your knife like right in the middle of there afterwards and scrape it down this is crabby 101 oh my god okay you're ready you got it oh they're ready it's all it's intestine oh my god look at that there you go and then here you go I just dropped your crab cake before oh no there's your crab cake zoom in on the action sorry I'm gonna get you oh my god you can wipe it out with a napkin I think it got in my eye what what's this yellow goo it's mustard but I won't tell you what it is because you might turn away yeah we know what it is it's mustard yeah it's honey mustard it's this dish on that's a great food pod and then just eat your regular say you just eat your regular it's like good but I'm scared about the yellow this whole chair it's crabby out out got me Steve got me
