 We just made the easiest, most realistic faux rust ever and we'll show you how we did it right now. What is up, welcome back. Do you like to do a builder to make it, so do we. And we have a new video each week and if you like this video, hit that like button. Hope us out. This week, we're getting into some iron work but not enough that we need to join like an iron workers union. Now, what we're excited to show you is some new paint techniques that I found. This modern masters metal effects. This is oxidizing, well, you love alliteration. So this is oxidizing iron paint with a rust activator. And so we're going to be making a gothic arch window frame and make it look like it has a metal iron overlay on the front of it that we're going to add some rust to. I'm really excited about trying out this new paint. If you want to follow along, we're going to offer the SPG and the kit in our store. Step one, we're going to gather all of our supplies. We had a super short shopping list this week. We just needed some quarter inch MDF. I have six sheets of them. They are 14 by 38 inches long. They're going to fit right in the glue forge. And then we need these paints. So we're going to be using these modern masters metal effects paints. Today we're going to use the iron paint with the rust activator over top because I think it's going to give these gothic arch a really like metal looking feel because we really want to do more metal work but we aren't really iron workers. I am not an iron worker. And so I don't really have the tools to do that. So I complain all the time that I want to add some metal accents into some of our projects. Yeah, a lot of them. And well, we did, we did some and I still think I'm going to do something with it but I'm a little nervous about Garrett doing it. If you remember, we did some galvanized metal and Garrett had to cut it and Yeah, that's right. He almost lost a leg. It was a thing. So I'm a little hesitant to do more metal work since we aren't metal workers but I think this is going to be a great alternative. This modern masters also has a copper version here. The copper paint with a green patina. They also sell a blue patina that'll go over it. And we're going to do this in our Tuesday live. So if you guys want to join us live on Tuesday at three o'clock we're going to be using this version. Today, we're going to use the iron version and I'm really excited about it. We're like metal workers for the week then, right? Yeah, yeah. This is our metal working week. All right. It's like a rotation. I'm ready. I feel like I need some different equipment. Step two, we're going to make all of our cuts. I'm going to bring the MDF over to the glow forge. I'm going to use the thick draft board settings in the pass through to cut the design that we have. Step three, now we paint. Now we prime actually. We're just, we're priming it. That's right. Step one of this is to add the primer. We're going to prime only the top section here because this is what we're going to put the metal effects on. The base boards, the base frame, we're going to stain and dry brush this. So we'll do that in a moment. So let's set these aside and then all the bases, yeah. So the base is 12 by 36 and the interior piece is 11 by 35. Gotcha. No bases. No bases right now. Later base. Base. It's not about the base right now. It's stacked with a bunch of them. Here are, here are our plates. Now we don't have a lot of this primer. I will say, I neglected to mention that all of these paints can be found on Amazon and guess what? What? Starting Friday or probably day before Friday, maybe on Thursday. We will have our own Amazon store where you can go and find all of the items that we use in our projects in our Amazon store. All those fun things that people ask about will be in our store. So that's really exciting. So these paints will be in the store. You guys, if you go find them there and our brushes and our FIFO bottles and all the cool little gadgets we used. All the jam. So I did get this on Amazon but I only, I didn't realize I had ordered such a small bottle. It was a tiny bottle. So, we do have to put two coats on there. Oh, you do. So we gotta be thin. Yeah, well. We gotta be thin and precise. Precise, yes, that's what I was thinking. Let's be precise with it. So do you think it'll be okay to do it on a plate? I say we share a plate then so we don't waste the paint on painting the plate. All right, you ready? Yeah. All right, that's probably half the bottle. Let's see how it goes. Now we're gonna add the second coat. Now we add some iron and maybe some multivitamins. All right, so this is iron paint and it does contain real iron particles and it will naturally oxidize over time. However, we will be using the activator today. We're gonna make that quick but for now we have to put this on and let it dry. So let's quickly do that. It's a little bit chunky. You'll see that it's got little flecks of paint in it. It's kind of thick, it's pasty. Yeah, well, it's not so much pasty but see how it's a little chunky in there? Yeah. You'll see. Coat number two. It's looking a little splotchy. Gonna put a second coat on it. Really firm it up, make it look like iron. Maybe, I hope. No, not exactly but it will fill in some of those spots. All right, we're gonna set these aside and let them cure and do their thing. Do their little... They just need to dry. A little dry there. We put a pretty... Gloppy coat. Aggressive coat of paint on here. So these will need a little time to dry. Step five. We stain. We're gonna stain the backers. Just the briar smoke. Give them a base coat. So like I said, this is two layers. This is the base layer, it's a little bit thicker and then yes, we're gonna stain it briar smoke and varathans briar smoke and then we're gonna add a dry brush paint on top. So first we need this base coat of stain. Stain. You just wanna get one brush? I do, I wanna use one brush. Yeah. Probably should have some gloves on. Five A. I don't know how to make an A. That is it. Now we do some dry brush. We're gonna use the vanilla frosting from Country Chic and just give it a dry brush and make it look antique like. That's right. Go ahead and show me the technique. This one's a little thick. I think I wanna try. Let me see, let me start with this one. Mm-mm. See where I'm going with that? Yeah. Time to set these aside to dry. Oh, these are looking pretty cool on their own though. They are. Yeah, seriously. I think you could hang those by themselves. I mean that. Put one of those green boxwood wreaths on them. Yeah, yeah, that looks pretty cool. But we're not done yet. Not done yet. Step six. It's time for the activator. It's time for the activator. That's all you're gonna give me? That's it for? How much more do you want? One. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. My heart is on you. It is now. Okay, we're gonna use the Metal Effects Rust Activator. We've put them in these little tiny spritzer bottles. These came from Walmart. These little two ounce bottles. I'm just gonna use it because it has a nice fine spray mist. At least that one does. I hope this one does. And then we're gonna give it one good like medium coat. You don't wanna soak it. You don't wanna go too light. Yeah, we're missing the whole thing. Okay, all right, all right. Let's do it. Okay. Oh, follow your lead. Okay. Oh, that, that, okay, all right. Serious business. Four arms are burning. Gotta keep switching up. No, I'm switching hands. I had to switch hands, too. All right. Now we're gonna give that five minutes and then we're gonna come back and we're gonna do it again. All right, five whole minutes. Yes, so keep the camera on because it will start activating. Activating. Well, we're gone. Yeah, all right, come back in five. Yep. It's been a whole five minutes. It's already looking pretty rusty. Yeah. I guess rusty, but all right, second coat. So second coat, yeah. Same as the first. Yeah. Second verse, same as the first. Just don't have to go. Nothing need to go super heavy. Just make sure the tips are looking rusty. All right, now we just have to wait for this to dry. Like dry total? Yeah, like dry, dry. Dry, dry. How long does that really take? I don't know, 30 minutes? 30 minutes. All right, we'll be back in 30 minutes. Step seven, time to assemble. Everything is dry, well, pretty dry. Look at how cool they look. Look at that rust. That is some cool-looking rust. It's very rusty. These are very rusty windows. Super old, Kim. Yeah. Yes. All right, we have our bases and now we're gonna put our rust tops on top. Look at that. We're gonna glue them. Yeah, using that star bond here. We'll start with this one. Okay, you gonna hold it like that? Yeah. All right, what'd you think? The easiest, most realistic faux rust ever, right? So easy. Leave a comment in the comments below about how you're gonna use this or if you've done fake rust. How easy was it? Yeah, they look great. I am so impressed with how cool this is and I can't wait to try the copper with the green patina. Like I said, we're gonna do that on Tuesday. We'll do that on Tuesday. So hopefully you guys can watch that video and see that one. But with this, I love this. I mean, this is rust. Like I said, those are real- It's real- There's iron flakes in there that have rusted. So I'm pretty impressed. I can't wait to use it on more things. That's cool. That's very cool. Yeah. And you can get, don't forget, you can get this kit in our store. We're gonna have it in multiple sizes. So what'd you say, 12? Like 12, 24, 28, 32, 36. Yeah, so the 28, 32 and 36 is so that you can do them kind of like this. You can have one taller than the other and well, not like that. The middle one would be taller. The small ones you could put together and put on a shelf. Well, yeah, I'm gonna show you that on Tuesday. So really come back on Tuesday, join us for our live or watch that replay of our live because I'm really excited to show you what we're gonna do with the little small 12-inch version with some hinges. We're gonna put three of them together and use the copper. So it's very fun. Big thank you to all of our patrons. We love you guys. And with that, we are about out of time. So if you're not gonna join us for the patron after show, we will see you next week where we'll do it building and make it again. Don't forget to hit that subscribe button.
