 I super excited about this, which is why I'm live early. I'm I'm really interested in this process of adding Like textured waves and today I'm going to attempt to do it with A product called UTC. What UTC is It's ultimate top coat and it is made by Stone coat and They use it to top coat their something their Oh my goodness, I just brain farted their countertops. Yeah. And It's a very durable material. It's got kind of the consistency of a mod podge. And when it's put on too thick, it's kind of a white color. And when it's thinned out, it's translucent. This Is all from yesterday. Yesterday, whatever day The last test that we did with the waves. So I put a little bit of a luster white in here from color obsession to give it a little bit more of an opaque color. However, it is inherently Like a milky color, but it's supposed to go clear when Um, it's put on thin enough. So I'm going to try to put this on in such a way that I can make waves and make thinner areas. This works. It's going to be so revolutionary. Thank you, Sandy Sanders. And I think one other person mentioned trying this maybe was TG Um, so I can't, I can't call this idea of mine, but I'm going to do the test. So you don't have to know if you never use UTC before it calls for mixing in some water. I use less water than it calls for because I want to have some of the white peaks and I needed it to be a thicker consistency. Um, it also has a pretty short working. No idea why it makes this much up, but we're going to roll with it. Something. Oh, yeah, it does have a pretty quick working time. It starts to dry rather quickly, just like it would on a countertop. I don't know if because I'm applying it more thick that it's Going to set up more quickly or less quickly. We're going to find out together. All right, let's get the airbrush. And if you did not see the last video, I'm using a And I want to Ennest Airbrush But you can just use a cheapy airbrush. From Amazon. Okay, so it's blowing around Much like the. Oh, a splattered. Okay, so 30 plus I you don't want to get too close for Because it's gonna do that. Also, Jeff and canvas are rough housing. She just does that when she gets excited. And so because we're going to be using the airbrush, we're going to be using the airbrush. Because ocean. I'm going to kind of Alternate how I do these waves and it's like you getting too close and like Bladdering myself. I am noticing that it's kind of letting me create the texture, but it's kind of melting back in itself a little bit, which Could be cool as well. I'm trying to kind of blend one way of into the next because In my opinion and experience with O'shawls. That's what happens. I feel like I am airbrushing water. So you just kind of globbed it on. Yeah, I just chopped it on. And I'm just blowing Little patches of UTC around. I mean, maybe if I was doing this for Not a just a demo if I was doing this on a real piece, I would probably not do this thick of waves all the way back Because this looks like it makes sense closer to shore, but back into the deep maybe not so much that makes sense. Or maybe just have like thicker Morning Donna. How are things in the future? Why was it high? I really hope this turns out like this is already not moving. That's already like not moving. So I'm just going to try to wake it up a little bit by applying just had bit more just had just skosh snitch. Do you like you like a long, a long spray. I got you. Do you want to do it or you really want me to do it. Ready. I'm scared. I just love the little Ripley that it makes because it's so concentrated. As long as you hold the airbrush at, you know, a proper angle so that it's creating that way. It's needed to tie that into something. It just doesn't make any sense. But there we go. There we go. Oh my goodness. I'm so loving it. What if this works and people can do this on their countertops? Sorry y'all. I'm trying to get this. I'm going to hit it with some heat from just a heat gun just to see what'll happen because you know, we do the test so you don't have to and etc. And I mixed a luster white into this. Something is under me. B, will you help him? So when you're using UTC just regular on a countertop, you do not want to hit it with a heat gun because you want it to just take its time drawing. You don't want the top to dry faster than the bottom because it could create lap lines and just not a fun texture for your countertop and it'll leave the white. So I'm thinking because I have thicker pockets of the UTC that those will stay white and the rest will just clear up. It's already starting to clear up except for back here because we just did that part. I'm thinking this is an awesome, awesome option if you want to create a textured wave. Well people have leathered granite on there you know. You just maybe need a leaf blower like we did in Hawaii. Imagine on a floor if you wanted to do a floor in an ocean. Because this stayed it kept the lip of product whereas resin would have self leveled back into itself, you know, and they put UTC on floors. So now I'm like Sandy has made me an innovator. All right, so it's drawing and this is the UTC gloss granted the gloss is not as gloss as one would hope a gloss would be. Yeah, when I get really close, I can make it move. So it's just going to take a minute to actually dry. But I'm telling y'all, I mean I got a little bit too excited apparently. No. All right, we're just going to chop that back in. It's a wave. It's going to have some texture. I just stuck my finger in the middle of my favorite wave. Because I'm genius. We can fix it. Let me just make it to where y'all can see this. Put it in the light so you can see all the texture. Apparently it's not enough texture to show. All better. So what I was trying to show you before I step my finger in my piece was this kind of just splatter right here is from me using the airbrush a little too close to my surface and the PSI maybe being a little bit too high to be that close and so I kind of just shot it everywhere. However, if you wanted to create that look, that's how you could do it. So even when I tilt it backwards, my you can see the texture. Okay, so here we are. You can see the texture, right? Because shadows and highlights. That's how science happens. But look how low profile that texture is. It's almost not even noticeable. So I think that it would still read really well on a countertop. But what do you guys think? I'm going to know what y'all think. Is this something you would try? Is this an idea you're into? Do you like textured artwork? What do you think? I'm going to get to the comments real quick while I have a second. No, I'm sticky. Hold on. I'm coming back to the comments. I just have to get one of my wipes, which I am using these mixed media wipes. These wipes are supposed to be better for the environment and better for you. And they get resonance to keep stuff off really quickly, easily and awesomely. So what can I answer for y'all? Melissa, Shelly, Melody, Angie, Kansas. We'll be in Kansas over Christmas. Yeah, Christmas. Donna, I hope your day has been brilliant so far. Oh my goodness. Looking good already, mate. Thank you. Friday is great. You'll like it. I think sweet. Anything from the future is great. I'm here for it. Definitely want to try this. What's up, Kim? How are you doing today? I hope it's brilliant over there. I've had a lot of people comment on my videos lately about coming to Australia. And if you don't know, we are partnering with one of the people is Kim from Color Passion. If you have any questions about her amazing product, she's in the room. She's the one that creates the base cell pace that work so great. I have so much of that stuff left over. Sorry, I just switched mindsets, just mid-sentence. What could I do with this? Maybe we could do another one. Let's see about just doing hi, miss ma'am. Let's just do a texture on this one. I have a lot of oceans. Can you guys see the this? It would make really great clouds. Hi, ma'am. Do you want this? Is this yours? Is it yours? Someone came to see me. Is this yours? Can you give me some ideas? Rude, here. Take this. Go lay down. Mimi, are you coming in April? Maybe it was originally going to be April, but that may not work. Wait. It may be May. We're thinking kind of May now. Okay, so let's get all of this in frame. This is the one we did with Mod Podge. Hopefully you can see that pretty red texture that we made. Let me just get you guys zoomed into the proper area. Cool, cool, cool, cool. I'm getting this. I also want to see about doing. I bet I could do bioluminescent. I'm sure I said that wrong. Those kind of waves. I'm just going to try kind of a thinner application and see if it works just as well. Because I want to do the test so you don't have to. And I forgot what I was also saying. Oh, bioluminescent waves. And I want to try some chameleon waves as well. But that'll have to be over a black beach to get like the best. Color payoff for those. So stay tuned for that video. I'm also in the midst of editing down my video with Rhonda. For crime and craft, but it is a little bit different than. I'm just doing the textured one on this one. I'm not doing actual waves. And I think it's starting to. I think this stuff's starting to set already. Crime and craft. Yes. Okay. So the structure of that one is just a little bit different because Rhonda was teaching. Like some instructional. Bits. Of the process instead of. How I've been doing it and kind of a. Let me show you how to do it. I'm going to show you how to do it. I'm more focused on the story. This one is kind of a 50 50 on story. Along with. Process. Because I'm still feeling my way. Through this to see what you guys like and what you guys don't like. So this is a lot. Very different from. How the Mod Podge moves. Yeah. I mean, I know I'm not a big fan of that stuff. I have to start right up already. But I still am very interested in seeing. What kind of texture. This does with these little peaks and valleys that we're. Swirling in. I do want to take down some of those. High. Point swirlies though. I'll just trust the process. Okay. It's going to be amazing. So anyways, It's an awesome case. the telling of it. And I'm really interested to see what format you guys really like because I'm really relying a lot on you guys during this like rollout process because y'all many, many of you have been with us from the beginning and seen a whole bunch of evolution in our everything and I trust y'all's judgment and I want to know what format you guys like the best so that I can kind of cater to you know what you guys think works not so much what like the newcomer I mean I care about what everybody thinks the character of the law I think I care what everyone thinks but I super care what you know my long time Sam thinks so I'm very very curious to see if you guys like this format that I filmed this new one in so please on every no okay that's big ask you don't have to go and comment on every video or every crime and craft but whenever you guys watch one if you watch one I would love it if you would tell me like I like this format better in this video versus how you did it in last weeks or whatever and I think that's kind of what's taking me so long to put some of the videos out is trying to figure out how to best format the video for you guys and for what I'm creating in the time and how the story is being told and what kind of videos I have to overlay well editing videos takes so long and I think that's why I ended up going to live feeds on top of the fact that I wanted to really interact with you guys which the live feeds are very great for I just wanted to get away from editing as well but here I am back to editing which is okay who needs sleep anyways so I'm sorry if I'm rambling I'm just trying to let you guys know what I'm thinking about while I can't read the feeds I'm trying to move really fast with this because it is starting to set up as I'm working with it UTC and its standard regular as intended application has like 15 20 minutes in a standard you know in regular weather like a dry 72 the hotter it is the faster you have to work the colder it is you have a little bit more working time but since I kind of altered the formula a little bit to make it thicker I think I've cut into my working time on top of the fact that it's been past the 15 20 standard minutes alright I want to kind of feather in the UTC to the way that I already have here so I'm really trying to push whereas back here I was just doing swirlies in the front I want to kind of ombre it so I'm doing a really strong push so that where I have put the UTC kind of fades into itself and into the where the regular water is I don't want it to be a stark contrast and I also don't want to bring it up to my original line so that's what we did oh my goodness I'm so excited to see all this cures I really want to know what you guys think of what this is what it could be what do you guys think would be better than using UTC and Mod Podge to get it nice water texture anytime someone comes to me with a challenge of creating water I'm in she's just in here chewing on her thing uh I did lean it up against something thank you for bringing that to my attention I didn't even notice that I did that I'm just bringing you guys down so I can show you what I did and what it's doing sorry for the sorry about that sorry sorry sorry I did lean it upright just trying to get it out of the way but not let the pups step on it and turn it flash on oh so that white luster is kind of really taking over and since I did put it up like this it's I guess that I don't know numbers I wanted to say 45 but I could be very wrong so I'm gonna lean it kind of down a little bit so it's a lot more than what it was actually I like that lip that it's made so I may just lay it back so it's a lot more of a texture than when I showed you guys earlier but that's okay because that means it's kind of taken away from in between each of my waves so it's going to thin that out so it'll make it more translucent and it'll make where all of it's collecting more opaque so that may have been just a happy accident you know I love bioluminescent waves but I always say it wrong I think chameleon waves would be super cool I just have to paint a black ocean first what's up Victoria how are you doing so I mixed up entirely too much UTC and it is turned into kind of a glue consistency so it's almost done with its working time at this point but it is the gloss UTC I'm gonna put this in water before I ruin this brush and get a lecture it's UTC that we're trying and I did a swirly application on that one and a wave application on this one and we're going to see if it is as awesome as the mod podge was for sure it enhanced the rollover of the waves color impression said I'm wondering what it would be like using alcohol ink white with the mod podge well I'm not sure because they're different forms of soluble like one's alcohol soluble and one's you know water-based I don't know how it would mix together but I can always give it a shot so this is bothering me for these two waves are connecting and I don't know if this is going to be one of those no wind equip moments or not we're going to find out together okay ready I'm not ready I'm ready I just pop that dry no I can't fade that I feel like that looks a little bit better but also I'm not trying to risk it for anything else because now there's kind of a different texture here than there is on the rest of it and I'm going to only look at that spot so no one to hold them and no one to fold them what's up Christy how are you doing so yeah I think using UTC maybe a viable other way to do ocean waves and I did mix a luster white mica into this UTC before applying it I don't know if you can see it when it's concentrated like this yeah probably not yes Christy these waves are UTC because you know I don't know I'm sure you've mixed it up I know you've mixed it up where it's kind of thicker it's going to be opaque or white or cloudy and where it's thinner it's going to go clear so yeah it's kind of ideal for waves and what we're trying to do but I don't know how it's going to keep its texture keep the peaks so that's what this test is all about so I did a swirly application just to see what would happen and I did just a wavy application just to see what would happen I will not be flood coating this if you've never worked with UTC before nothing sticks to this it was actually invented to be um like a wall protectant or repellent if you have UTC on anything you theoretically could draw on it with a sharpie and then soap and water it off theoretically I know for a fact that if you paint on this UTC and you put tape on what you painted like maybe you were masking it off maybe for a lip piece and then you took the masking off it would take all the paint with it don't ask me how I know because I'm just going to tell you I did a painting on something that I wanted matte so I did matte UTC on it it was gorgeous beautiful and then I painted lips and then I painted teeth and I was masking off the teeth so I could airbrush the lips and I took the masking off of the teeth and it took the teeth with it so from my experience nothing really does stick to UTC and I would imagine that includes resin this is the stone coat UTC specifically the stone coat UTC gloss however I would call it satin it would be great on ocean tumblers which I am going to try probably next so yeah I'm going to set it on the slightest little incline and it may even fall while I take the pups out but he's definitely just chomping at the bit to get taken out I don't have vigil on crazy lady but I'm sure she's chewing on something oh she's not chewing on something okay I've been flood coating things all day so that's why my table looks like this but I'm going to wrap it up and clean it later the flood coated all those pieces today all right you guys I got to take this lady out I hope you guys have a great evening we'll be driving down to Seguin tomorrow because it's Kenny's birthday it's 50th on Saturday but I will be posting some shorts from down there Mitch will be there Luke will be there we will be there and by curiously y'all will be there I hope you have a great evening be kind to one another because you never know what someone's going through and always remember will we do the test so you don't have to and we'll see you guys in the next video bye so we say bye
