 Whoops hit that button a little too early, but that's okay. What's up you guys?

Hey, Shane Uh, your parcel with all the paintings are going out this week. I'm just waiting on Jeff to finish up your skateboard um So yeah, if you're new hi, what's up? I'm Erica Bowie is with me as always right here just out running uh errands where artists still death we go live every day Usually at 6 p.m So for on Tuesdays 2 p.m. Always central and it's usually resin sometimes it's acrylics or alcohol inks or basically anything but it's always art and Yeah, thank you for showing up and seeing what we're up to today. I'm glad you got your order Lisa I Jen, hey, how are you doing ridiculously cute all the hugs to all you guys for showing up today um But yeah Please subscribe if you haven't uh, if you are already just double check and make sure you still are because youtube likes to be a Jerk and unsub people for my channel Because reasons I don't know but Just check so today Hi, Andrea, we're going to be looking at this brand new mystery resin Oh Hey, Petra. What's up, Tim? and Hopefully This will turn out to be awesome. I have another pair that is Another combination of a and b Well, we're going to do this one today This looks like the thin part Absolutely, Suzanne. I have them right here. I haven't even gotten to flooding them. So I don't want to make them available till they were complete complete complete so, um I got these two mystery jugs. I actually got four mystery jugs and all I know about them is that this one Uh has a government name of b1 and this one has a government name of a2 So I don't know anything about the viscosity They're really anything. I don't know anything about them Other than that, they're a two-part epoxy and it's probably a 50-50 mix since I received equal parts And you know, if you have one that is like a two to one One of the jugs is going to be quite larger So I'm going to do a 50-50 mix And since You guys know that the resin that I typically use for my oceans is usually just resins because My ace stone coat art coat doesn't like to do oceans the way I do them I'm going to I attempt to do an ocean with this because that's I don't know if everything's to do with resin so I'm gonna test that out first and then I also have some coasters on the side that I'm gonna try the swipe technique to see how the cell activator base cells Kind of hold up and do with this new epoxy So debbie I have also an a1 and a b2 And these are the two I grabbed Greened well, I'm assuming you have to do the a and the b Because there's always part a and part b. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this will never ever ever ever cure. Who knows My prediction on working time is probably going to be at least 40 Five minutes to an hour just because that's standard working time. I I'll do a test later on that pushes the two-hour mark This is a very thick epoxy It's like Room temperature honey There's almost a smell to it. It's not obnoxious. Obviously. Don't ever stick your nose in your resin Like I just did that's not healthy for your health Healthy for your health. Okay You know what I mean words are hard So this is quite thick of a resin Well, I actually always put my b in first Because it's typically thinner And it will cling to the walls less than the thicker b will I mean The thickness isn't that drastic of a difference it there is a slight difference, but yeah The b is about Half as thick it seems In this set that's not every set but typically b is thinner Uh, yeah, right gen is in the room. How awesome is that? We don't get to see that gen that often. She's a busy busy b Since it's thicker would you use less? I don't know Because it still has to spread to the surface area that you're wanting to cover you know, so It may just be harder to Get the resin to All areas of your canvas that could be or It could be that you could get away with using less. I went ahead and mixed up eight ounces for this Probably 18 inch cradle board And so we will see how far it goes. I I only mix eight ounces because I want to get some coasters Tested as well. Clara If it's by volume measurement use one to one by volume Yes So it is very much thicker. So it's harder for me to see if there's any Like fishing twine in there And typically thicker means that it's going to hold on to bubbles more So this is definitely not a casting epoxy. This is going to be a surface epoxy For sure. I don't know the UV resistance. I don't know the heat resistance. I don't know If an elf made it. I don't know anything about it other than one of them says a and one of them says b Petra, um It doesn't have a brand yet That makes sense There are no death bubbles. So that's good So I could mix it super vigorously and not have to worry about those little epoxy bubbles floating out Because you really don't want to breathe them My apologies. I just got a phone call And I'm filming on my phone. So That's always fun If it's one of y'all watching I'll call you back when we get off the live feed So as per use I'm making sure to scrape the sides and the bottom of my mixing cup to make sure I have everything fully incorporated because It's almost the worst thing in the world when you have a piece that is absolutely perfect Except for you have a weak spot that doesn't ever cure because you didn't fully incorporate Your resin when you're mixing your two parts together. So make sure that you take time to do this thoroughly I don't know the working time. So I don't know if I'm Getting a little risky with things By using a little extra time to mix this up, but it's thicker. So I feel like I need to just to be sure And we're going to go with my favorite Pigments for oceans Sorry about the focus wait for it wait for it Without focus Yeah Is for sure mystery resin 100% Okay, so we're going to do what we always do. We're going to use bondye And I'm actually going to use a different deep blue color Because I couldn't find a Caribbean I am testing for someone So we're going to use a couple drops of bondye Maybe if I have any left in here, we're going to do a couple drops of bondye Such a pretty color That's actually a little dark for my Shoreline color So I'm going to pour some of the existing bondye into the clear that I had mixed For the darker blue That's more like it for my shoreline color And then we'll make that one darker in a bit I'm going to add a little bit of abalone From resin art Just add a little bit of sparkle not a lot because then it'll make your translucent opaque and Kind of the whole point of a translucent is for it to stay translucent when you do a water I'm always happy to answer any questions that you may have Karen. So It's never a dumb question here I don't ever want anyone to leave one of my videos feeling like they didn't get their questions answered Sweet just slight sparkle. Perfect I'm going to use lures angel white Where my ocean wave Arguably I just use too much White in my resin, but I'm I tend to always add too much pigment And I have no shame in that no shame at all I'm again Um, it has a slight smell if you stick your nose in the jug, but if you're Standing far away from it like arms length ish Half an arms length then it's not noticeable. You shouldn't be sticking your face in a mixing Potter resin anyways I do the test so y'all don't have to so It's fine um It does Have a lot of bubbles and I'm mixing the two parts together I'm imagining that that is because it is just a thicker epoxy and We'll see how it How it flows So I want this white to be completely opaque and it is right Have you ever added abalone or tutored twinker twinkle to your resin? When doing an ocean piece. Yeah, I just added abalone. Are you asking the people? No judgment zone. I love that about you guys Okay, so I'm gonna take some of my clear As per use I'm just gonna draw out my shoreline Definitely a lot of bubbles still in there, but that's okay. We haven't put any heat on it yet. So Tis what it is. Hey sparkle So I'm gonna put this Light bondi mix make sure I do all the way up on the shoreline This is gonna be kind of my light ocean Color if you guys ever look at an ocean really look at it The lighter parts are where it's not so deep obviously and then the darker parts are where it's deeper. So That would lend This color really good for the shallow areas It does also have a slider more like Greeny aqua tinge to it all right, Karen So now I have the other bondi. How crazy is it that that's still the same color? Super crazy. I know super crazy Okay Now I need a darker color So I'm gonna take some of my clear Put some bondi if I have any left in here I had three drops left that'll work and then I'm using Something this is deep purple all of these transparent tents are from color obsession. I have them on my website artistsledut.com And so this is gonna make a deep blue indigo-ish looking color I didn't want quite purple, but I wanted a super dark blue and I think this will be exactly that Do I need some abalone? Not a lot just enough for A hint of sparkle So I'm gonna put this in every area that's supposed to be a little deeper And to give my ocean a little bit of visual interest So it's not just one solid blue I'm gonna do a stretched wave on this one. So Honestly The design of the blues isn't that important because honestly People pay more attention to the whites with resin oceans than The color at least that's what I found Okay So I'm just going to meld these out What a countertoppy word that is melded out speaking of countertoppy I'm gonna be moderating along with Clara on Rhonda's youtube tonight rk3 designs She is a brilliant faux finisher resin countertop tabletop person artist designer And if you're not Busy at seven central Come on over Check her out All righty Ocean All right Next I'm going to add the white where my Waterline touches my shore I'm not gonna do a really thick wine It hesitated right there. So I have one of those like a little debbie swirls That's what that's from but that's okay because it ends up making An interesting little design In your ocean waves Oh hidoki Also, people don't get hung up on this part of it. It's an ocean wave. They're not perfect Mommy mommy mommy mommy mama no truth All right, so I'm gonna hit the whole thing with some heat just to make sure I'm having a little floaters Because that will mess up a wave more than almost anything Put down here on eye level. We're good I'm gonna put my board at a slight slope And do just a section at a time Always keep your feet done moving Little bitty circles Or our windshield wipers also good So far so good y'all We'll see if they Stand the test of time i.e. just overnight Fill it here Not mad at it Get you guys down and Turn the light on We can see it for real for real just wiping my hands off. Okay So our problem movement slight sparkle in there I did kind of flick some gold Into the piece just to give it a little bit If something else going on in there Goodness Nancy, I hope everything will be okay Keep me posted that looks pretty nice. I'm gonna take this to the dust-free zone Maybe I might if this will let go give up. Thank you You take this To the dust-free zone and I will be right back Okay So that worked out pretty well. I would say happy about that formula thus far obviously It will mean nothing if the design kind of melts away before it cures So that's going to be the actual true test What else? Oh, yeah, we're going to mix up some of this cerulean This is a base cell activator from color passion These are the things that I mainly look for when I'm checking out a new resin is How well does it stand up to heat? I mean on top of the durability of it UV resistance, etc Beyond that. I want to know How well the cells will stay Thank you, Lisa I'm not really intending these to be ocean-looking coasters. I'm just The cerulean was the first Color passion Case that I just grabbed but Almost lost that all right I'm just making sure I don't have too much resin on the face of my coaster Because if I leave too much resin on the face of it And I put it in dust-free zone and there's more than like an eighth inch on the surface It's gonna find a way to run and then it'll ruin the design and then I will have a compromised test Because I won't know if the design was ruined because of The epoxy Or because there was a breach Made sure I'm using a clean finger To manipulate my white so that there's no contamination Piazza all my sister just found out. She's pregnant with a baby girl. How exciting is that? So she's probably gonna end up Starting to talk about that on her youtube soon Follow her if you're into, um finances and Trying to learn to save better. I honestly should watch more of her videos and take notes Instead of just watching them because She's awesome. All right Let's get swiping. Oh, no wait you got to get warm Now these just look like royal icing cookies to me anyone else. Is it just me being a chunky butt? Probably Meow Let's get swiping So far so good Not that anything could really happen so far But you know what I mean I just didn't want these bare bits on the side. So I'm trying to get A little bit of action over there. Cool. Cool. Cool Uh, the coaster's from yesterday are fine. I haven't resin them. So I haven't posted them as available because I haven't resin them That one I went a little fast as evident by how thin the epoxy got towards the end I always take your time when you're swiping All right So far so good. There's already some action Try to go slower on this one So that more white is picked up I never really reuse A swiping paper because it's kind of contaminated But if that's your jam go for it See how it's moving blue instead of just pushing white Okay A little bit of heat Not bad. It appears that Hey tish that um If I had given So base cells are a lot like fish in a fish tank like goldfish They're only really going to grow to the size of their environment If I were doing a big piece and I did a huge swipe these cells Arguably could grow To nickel quarter size I'll show you a piece that I did a while back That has nickel Probably even some quarter sized Cells on it I gotta tell you guys these cells aren't cauliflowering In the dust free zone our ocean still looks amaze This may be a pretty awesome resin Obviously, I don't know anything about it beyond. What am I thinking? Beyond how it's just being Applied and how it's acting Like I'm I have no way of knowing really the UV resistance I'm sure once I give my Final thoughts on the epoxy to the brand Um, not the brand the manufacturer rrrrr They'll tell me more about it At least that's the hope right? I hope they won't just be like hey How do you like this? And then I tell them and then they're like cool. Okay. Bye. Typically base cell Doesn't like a lot of heat but we're gonna give it a shot on this piece See what happens Yeah, it looks like spider webs Now I'm gonna have to do This but on a larger scale So that it looks like Spider webs like with black and white. How fun would that be? I'll answer that question for you. It's super fun I have a question. Okay Let me One second I have a question. I want to raise in my outdoor bathroom floor like an ocean However, it's concrete now and a drain in the middle and apparently it's slightly angled So water can get into the drain in the middle girl I would Put a decal on it Instead because It's 100% that resin will end up in your drain and cause you so many problems if it's an active drain if it's not an active drain You may be able to get away with some crazy stuff going down it but That would be my concern so let's pour some more of the purple into the The base cell that we got mixed up already If we make a dark version of this Need more resin It's gonna take that And I'm gonna take that Because when you use a tent it's gonna thin out your epoxy a lot and that may not be that great for What we're trying to do because it's so much heat. So let's do that Just collect as much overflow epoxy as possible Doing floors are difficult because There's a lot of prep involved especially with concrete you have to get like a diamond bit sander polisher machine to get everything off of it and whatever They initially sealed your floor with and then you have to seal it some type of way Hold your opinion hostage till they double the product So just hold out till they send me more of it and then give them an opinion Just be like hey I have an opinion, but I need to see if it's a consistent product. So I'm gonna need Another gallon or two or eight things Yeah, they probably send it You'd be amazed at what people will send you You just gotta ask It's new and already roughed up Okay, how we're gonna do this. Let's just put it on this side And then stretch it all down that way. Yeah. Yeah, okay. I think so too Shane's still a smart guy always and forever Shane will be the smart guy Turned out to be kind of a pretty color. Um, I would just See if I could Get away with oh goodness you guys that it's the purple selling over the white. So it's like a two-way sell And I'm getting to you that's atypical because usually if it'll sell One way it won't sell the other way I'm about to wreck it just so that I want to get my hands on some more spider web look Um, I yeah, I probably would not risk it Doing your floor unless you know for sure that that drain is not A working drain Okay, so it's kind of doing it, but I think mixing in those transparent Kind of thinned out and messed with the base cell So, yeah Yeah, I'm sure I could torch it. It's I've torched it somewhere You could spritz it with alcohol and make it do stuff I don't know if I want to though because it's still evolving uh, yes stone coat has done Floors and they have a flooring epoxy If these cells stay I'm going to be so sold on this epoxy So the other day I was watching board panda or daily mail or one of those one of those like 15 second clips all put together like Easy kitchen hacks for your kitchen videos and they were doing like easy hacks for halloween Um like party snacks and they did um a cake and they melted marshmallows And then stuck their hands in it and then stretch the marshmallows and like just draped it over this cake and made it look Super like a spider web I'm never going to attempt that because baking is too much like science for me What about that? I'm down to 10% um It's just the angle that I have issues with yeah, that's going to be your biggest issue because as you know resin's going to Go to its lowest point and there's no stopping it. So unless you Level out your floor first, which is going to be an absolute nightmare in its own. I would imagine I've never done it I have no idea I would just I personally would be call it instead of try to epoxy it and just do like if you have a mudroom That's more level than do that instead. So They were stretching marshmallow Around this cake and I was like I have to figure out how I can do that with resin I want to just take some white resin and Stretch it on a canvas. I'm going to figure it out I'm going to figure it out So you guys Let me show you the large cells that you can get Like that's next to my finger So that's probably a quarter So there they can grow quite large You just have to have so that's a 40 inch round Those are there probably like 50 cent pieces. You just have to have um The space available to Grow your cells and there's a bowie bean my big boy It I'm stretching As I'm stretching because you're a good big boy. Meet that pretty blue eye. Meet that pretty blue eye Death that pretty boy All right, you guys things are coming in and seeing what I'm up to today I hope you all had an awesome time You learned something we're inspired or educated or entertained in some way Every one of you guys being here means so much to me We're almost at 50 000 subs So if you want to help us grow Then share videos You never know may inspire someone to get into art. It wouldn't that be great Since arts like therapy For a lot of people even if you don't need therapy But let's be honest doesn't most people probably need therapy. I know I probably do but anyways um So yeah, you can find all the colors I use today on our website artistleath.com links down in the description and Yeah, you kind of want another you never know what someone's going through and always remember We're gonna test so you don't have to bowie. Good job Good job being bowie. Good job being Y'all have an awesome day. We love you guys You say bye Not out there. Bye Not out there
