 Can't believe it is 2024 right now I'm not ready. Are you guys ready? Can't be the only one that was just not ready. I mean just adjust Some things have a lot in the works right now, okay Let me find you guys on my This there we are so Here lately I've been asked by a number of people about how to create a barrier For Resin so that if you can just kind of create a design and I have to worry about it spreading into different areas and There's a few different ways that you can create a barrier for this Specific tests I'm doing today. I don't know if it's gonna work. What's up Robin? How are you doing? Happy new year? I'm gonna use plasticine and Plasticine is a sorry about the crinkle being so loud. It's a non hardening like molding and Modeling clay it feels kind of like porcelain But the thing about this particular type of clay is that it just it never dries and so And theoretically you could reuse it a few times assuming it works. It's not particularly sticking Down to my substrate, but I didn't really apply that much Pressure to it to get it down either Maybe it should I'm trying not to have Like a lip that would go under the resin so that we can remove it What's up Tim? So we're gonna find out together if this is Essentially a viable Solution for people that want to create a barrier for their resin to Kind of mark off areas for their projects. I Don't know if it's gonna work. It may not work, but I'm gonna find out and You guys are gonna be here with me. I hope Have you guys had an amazing brilliant awesome wonderful new year so far? I know we're not that far into it Actually, I'll probably go ahead and start mixing some resin so that can be The whirling turn in whirling while we're messing with this plasticine The plasticine kind of leaves kind of a film on your hands when you're working with it I guess because it may be kind of an oil based Clay I'm not a hundred percent sure what it is what it's made out of et cetera but I do know that I like molding with it. It feels super smooth So Lance Hi Debra. How are you? Hope you got my emails I don't know how much clay we should mix up. Nope. How much resin we should mix up. Let's do I feel like six ounces is Insanely too much. So let's pour some of that back Let's mess with maybe four ounces. I think that makes a little bit more sense. The board I'm pouring on is one of our Frame cradle boards. It is just a ten inch Seems like it would be ten inch. Hey Clara. How are you? Hope everyone is well over at your place Definitely going to be too much resin but I am using the Illumilite amazing quick coat today because ideally hopefully I can get this Done up And set enough to remove the um clay While we're live Can't promise but I can hope and do my best. That's what we're going to do I am using my a stoio stand mixer Because I want to have a free hand Okay Jeff is watching tiktok So where did you guys watch the new years? Did you watch the ball drop? Where did you guys watch at? I guess I don't need gloves on right now actually So I just need one more bit of plasticine. So I'm just using a broken clay trimmer to kind of pull out a few snakes of this plasticine Like any clay once you start Working it in your fingers. It softens and gets a little bit more um Yes malleable movable Full house. Well, that's awesome Who doesn't love a full house? So I'm just kind of making it into a sort of a snake Then I'm just pressing it on to My board I'm trying to create a thin yet tall barrier My pleasure miss debora So where did you guys watch new year stuff at I need to know Okay So I'm trying to add a little bit of a pressure so it doesn't just pop off One another way you could do this if you're worried about kind of because it is kind of an oily clay if you're worried about it messing with your resin you can put down some painters tape And put your clay on top of that and then use an exacto blade to cut around your clay shape So that you don't have any tape that goes under your resin because that's just not gonna You won't be able to get your tape out if you do that so Yeah, I hope that makes sense If I need to do a demo on that just let me know Oh, you had a monitor set up for the fireworks in Dallas. It was actually a good show in Dallas this year last year it was um Less than impressive But this year they did a whole lot more. So it was it was a good time, but it was freezing here in Dallas My football team did not win my football game this weekend. So I'm a little bit but heard about that, but we'll be fine. We'll be fine So What? colors We'll do a pearl Just coming up next valentine's day. I'm just going to do a couple of colors get those mixed up While our resin is mixing This is such a different application for me because I'm so used to considering how I'm going to mix all of my colors Together how I'm going to get them to interact with each other Whereas here my main goal is not that if you're interested in the Plasticine clay I will add it to our amazon link that will be listed down in the description box below this video And I'll also I have on there the I still use stand mixer and if you're interested in the aluminum light amazing quick coat I have a link with a discount code down in the description box as well purchasing with our links really helps our channel to Stay afloat as you guys know working with epoxy as expensive So it really helps so where's everybody watching from? Tuesdays are usually a slower live. So I have more time to interact with everybody As soon as we get this resin mixed up We're going to drop a couple colors into it and get it poured out if you never worked with the amazing aluminum light Quick coat has a 20 minute working time and it cures up really really fast Well not really really fast it cures up in A few hours So if I can't demold this live then tune in in a few hours where I will post A video demolding I guess demolding or attempting to demold my plasticine from this I think a trick in doing this is to make sure that you don't have too much Like of a slope with your plasticine If you want it to be kind of as vertical as possible So that it's easier to pull your plasticine out Unless you do it in Like every other one. So if I did Say this row this row in this row now wait for that to cure pull the Plasticine and then do in between in fact that may be the way to make this as successful as possible So I may decide to do that actually So this may be a half video now that I'm Working through the process in my head So, yeah, I hope that makes sense I've never done this process before it's something that I just thought of when someone asked me for the umpteenth time how to um create a barrier for resin And I was like I have some plasticine and that I think would work better than air dry clay because If your clay dries while your resin is still wet Or if it dries when your resin is cured, but you haven't pulled it out the uh The clay out yet Then it could break off and stay in and with your resin which may not be exactly what you're trying to accomplish So I think plasticine may be a great alternative, especially since it kind of has an oily Feel to it. I don't know if it's going to make the resin rappel I don't know what it's going to do, but I'm going to find out together with you guys So we have our resin mixed up Sweet sweet sweet So I guess Which do you guys think I should do should I break it up and pour Every other one now and then wait So that I give this project the best chance at success Or should we just go for it and Basically test out worst case scenarios and see if it still works I'm down for either way But I'm here to do tests for you guys. And so I always like to hear what you guys think P. S. I am trying out free shipping on my website on domestic orders over a hundred dollars and I have a code out right now um through It's just today and tomorrow because some people couldn't get my last code to work so it's hnye 24 And that's for 15 off and that's just today and tomorrow because some people couldn't get the code to work this weekend If you're interested And you want to get some of these really red colors all right Let's get to mixing Like I said, I don't have that much time when working with the only like quick coat the working time is only about 20 minutes So the first color we're going to mix up is spearmint. It is one of the newer colors from just resin It's like their color breakfast at Tiffany's But a little bit more of a powdery Color and this has a slight shimmer to it It's not a full metallic. It's just like a pearlescent Sheen isn't it lovely? I love this color for some reason when I look at it. It almost like in the shadowy parts has kind of a purple Like over here Kind of a purple sheen, but it doesn't but it's what it makes me think of And it is an opaque paste. It also is considered a top cell paste if you watched our video on um different kinds of Cells you can get with different kinds of paste we did Go over base and top cell If you are having problems creating cells, I would recommend watching that video. We do want this to be opaque Which it is How fun is that color though? It's delicious for spring. This is going to be One of the biggest hits I am telling you now I don't even think Jeff has seen this color. So maybe when he's done In the other room, I can get him to come over here. I also have had people ask lately about super thin base cell paste Some of them are thinner than other ones. This is the pearl white And it is on the thinner side. It's not quite as um hooding like as some of The other paste I don't make these I just And the us distributor for these brands So if it's thinner, it's still going to work. I haven't had any issues with thinner paste This is a base cell, but we're not going to be trying to create cells. I guess we could within a gully This is kind of like the spearmint just not a metallic. It's not a flat. It's just a slight sheen of shimmer And I'm going to do Carnation pink From just resin as well It is a flat paste. It doesn't have any shimmer or metallic Or pearlescent to it at all. It's just a flat color, which I super like having Flat colors mixed with shinier ones because I think the juxtaposition between a shiny and a matte And a metallic and a matte color kind of just Works best I think if you have too much hyper sparkly things Which if you guys know me, you know glitter is always an option But too much of that can get overbearing and make pieces look Not the best in my opinion. I am not the end all be all but it's just my opinion So I like to have a flat and a sparkly Mixed in my pieces, right? Okay Um, so let's start to pour this is starting to get just a little bit warm. So I know I am on the clock So I guess we're just going to go for it, right one two three one two three four Okay, so I guess let's just go for it. I'm scared. I don't know if it's going to creep under Some of these That we'll find out I'm not putting this down in any sort of Color pattern I'm just trying to get all of it out Oops. Well, all right That happened now a big deal We'll just mix that in so So far there hasn't been a break or breach That I can see That's not uh repelling away from the dead gummet I don't want that to kind of mess with our concept That wasn't a breach that was me being clumsy All right, I'm just gonna fill in any of the gaps All right, so I'll have to say so far. I think the plasticine is working to create that barrier I think It's just a mix of that in I think that having a thicker viscosity in my resin like this aluminum light Amazing quick coat is going to help it to not seep under Because the thinner resins. I mean as you guys know They work kind of like water. They're just going to go wherever they decide they're going to go I'm also discovering that I built these dams higher than I really needed to because when you pour out resin It's going to pour out at a quarter inch roughly And it's going to want to self level too roughly an eighth inch You really don't have to build these dams this high Unless you're going to do multiple layers Should I do a design element through one of them? I don't know. You guys tell me should I do some resin metazole possess? You can tell me but you got to answer it quick because Probably only have five more minutes of working time with these bad boys Just pop these bubbles. I don't know what plasticine will do if it's heated so I'm not adding too much heat. I just wanted to pop the surface bubbles Do some fun stuff and add gold. Okay, let's try some fun stuff something Something I need something any swiping papers No idea where they are Okay, I don't have time to look so we're just going to take A bit of this paper And we'll do Let's just do A dip swipe. So I'm going to just add color to this We'll just do both colors We'll just swipe this through Our white So since the white is a base cell It should Give me cells with this Even though I don't know what happened to my green my spearmint. So we're gonna Reswipe back this way with that We're not really worried about what my edges look like Right now like all of this Because I'm just going to Fix all that in post after my resin's all cured All right, so we got our cells with that Super fun and you guys requested gold. Let me Grab some gold really really Really really quick. Yep. I think gold's gonna be a great Color to add Here is some gold I'm just gonna pour it into the back of one of these cups and if you've got never seen me do this I pour my liquid gold in the back of A cup because the inside of a Dixie cup is wax lined and that's so that It doesn't absorb whatever liquid you put into them, but I really want this liquid to absorb So I am putting it in the back of a cup because that's not going to be wax lined because who does this Who uses the back of a cup? Well me that's who and so you can see when I shake it that dark Let's see that dark color that comes up. That's the propellant and I don't want the propellant to mess with my design because I will show you why because I have a couple seconds So This let's go over here So Just as a test If I take this gold that still has the propellant in it, it still has a propellant because when I do this It's dark So if I just run some gold through it, it's gonna kind of splay out and grow and turn this light See that better So see how I drew the line this thin Essentially But it's blooming and that's because of the propellant that's in it I want to have control over the size of my veins of gold. So that's why I'm letting the propellant Soak out You can see on this rim right here. That's dark line. That's the propellant Being absorbed into the cup and it usually doesn't take too long you can also Mix in just the smallest bit of resin Sorry about that In order to make it not bloom quite so terribly and I don't have that much resin left, but There we go. So I put This much resin in So it's mostly the gold with just a little bit of resin Looks like I needed to add a little bit more resin, but it's fine. I just want to make sure all the resin is mixed in So you can still see when I'm swirling it around that there's still some propellant In here, but when you mix just a little bit of the resin in it kind of offsets that reaction that Makes it bloom out I just want a little bit more of that I still want it to be very liquid very different from How it was When I poured it into the cup but also not as thick as If I had mostly resin and then just a little bit of the gold in it It looks almost like the color obsession rich gold shimmer a little bit Okay So now if I do a roadside test It shouldn't See how it's not blooming out like it was That's the gold. Okay So now I guess I'm just gonna Just run a little bit of gold through here You want to add this type of gold after basically you're done with everything else because Once the propellant is kind of evaporated out of Your gold it's going to kind of dry in place and we Don't want it to crack and that's kind of what will happen So let's put some of this on a palette knife See if I can create a little bit of a something A little design I like this End here we'll just work that through I love how it has floating Like accents I'll do it here. Yeah, I like that one way better I don't know if I can rework this one just a little bit The gold that I'm using is the mtn liquid gold you can find this on my website artistle.com There's only five dollars for a little vial of it Just trying to swipe it over really lightly. I'm not trying to put any pressure This is just a surface area Just swoosh of gold Let's put something over here. So it's not quite so even to this one The love third if you guys want me to do a video on composition Let me know I guess we need something here because And just a little bit here sweet All right, now I can hit it with just a tea tiny bit of heat Not too much because I don't want it to split There's just something about gold and like a spearmint color That is just amazing All right, I'm gonna bring you guys in for a close-up There's been no breaches so far Thank you, Clara Now The reason why we have cells through this bit if you weren't here is because we use the color passion Pearl luster which is a base cell all based from Color passion are base cells a video on how to properly use those Look how glowy that spearmint is And that is from This shimmer the interference the metallic particles that's in it Same thing that makes it look lighter where the reflection hits it But on this it's just where the cells are so it's super nice It's like ghost cells. You can't really see them Super can see them And spearmint is one of my faves And then that carnation looks nice with the gold in it right So It's still fluid I don't want to make you guys sit here and watch resin dry Which would be a great name for something Um, the gold is the montana liquid gold you can find it on our site I think Clara posted A link for the liquid gold. Yeah, it's done the chat field So devra the pearl white luster is the one that you Are having issues with Hi betty new here. Thank you for joining and watching What's up mako michael, I hope you're having a good year so far Rumpel haven't seen you in a couple minutes. How are you doing? So many old fam in here today makes my heart happy old and new So I do have a sale going on on my website if you want to get the pearl white cp base the spearmint Just resin or the carnation from just resin or the mtn liquid gold all are available on my website artistledeath.com and the code is hny24 Which I guess I will put In the chat h In y2 one It's supposed to be code for like happy new year But it just looks like short for honey 24 So hopefully When this has cured I can just pull this plasticine I would pull it now But it's going to give me little strings Actually, let's just see what it does just for Just for argument's sake. Let's do let's do this one So I'm just going to pull this out and hopefully it will have left a little barrier here at this Plasticine will not be able to be reused because it will have a wet resin on it. Actually, I could probably peel it off Well, I don't know so I'm just going to peel this knowing that it's probably going to leave strings of epoxy Um, but at least we'll know what happens if you do pull The plasticine too soon Hopefully it still leaves a little bit of a barrier between The two it looks like it tried to start Coming under right here, but it didn't come all the way through. This is going to just fill in If it doesn't I'll just help it Just a little Just scoot this and scoot this So that's still left a good line But I'm very interested to see what happens Once everything cures That's pretty clean This will self level. Let's give it a second. So that's pretty clean. There's no bleed through It is a level surface But I'm going to let the rest of these Um cure in place and then I will either go live later or post a follow-up video Um, that shows what it looks like when I try to pull these out Further along in the curing process don't know what's going to happen, but should be interesting either way So far this option Is notably pretty good. Um, even though it is plasticine and it's kind of an oily base clay It didn't Like repel my resin. So whatever's in it It doesn't harm resin. It doesn't make the resin kind of run away from it It just Left a nice line So I'm happy with how this is going so far But like I said, I won't know the full Until it's cured, which should be in a couple of hours So, uh, make sure you're subscribed so that you know when I post the follow-up video to this Subscribing and interacting with the channel super helps us to get recognized by the algorithm That isn't the biggest fan of smaller channels like mine. So every interaction with my channel helps. Please share like comment Leave me your thumbs I try to go live every day at 6 p.m. Central except for on Tuesdays at that 2 p.m. Central And I do the test so you don't have to so Other things that I'm working on is a silver birch commission What's up cat? I have to make a hundred of these for my sister's wedding she wants Versions of lavender and purple Smoky-esque Tumblers I'm still throwing And I have two small fuzzy children That have everywhere in the world to lay but want to lay in the studio. So anyways Um, I'll be adding resin to those Alcoholing tumblers soon. I'll post a video of that of course. What's up cat? So if you have any questions that I didn't get to answer, please leave me A comment shoot me a message Uh on my website Hopefully my messaging app is fixed if you send me a message to 214 number and I respond from 469 It's because my web server is being stupid So when you go to my website, make sure you use h in y 2 4 For 15 off. I'm sorry that looks like I am one years old trying to write Can't write upside down so Thank you guys so so much for watching Was there a video on how you made the birch tree art? Um, I am filming the process. I'm not done with it yet It's a big wash with Hand painted stuff in the foreground. I have to do the other trees to look like this And so that will be what I do instead of eat dinner tonight. I'm sure But I am recording it so there will be a video for sure Um, I hope thank you guys for princess jezmina's mommy pamela um and everyone else we I hope you guys have had the best new year so far. Thank you guys for being here and we'll see you guys Tomorrow at 6 p.m. Central. Thank you, jerry Um, but till then be kind to one another because you never know what someone's going through Never know what someone's going through Hey, JJ your price went up Do you want to see this? Yeah, someone asked me about a barrier So I thought my plasticine would do good because it never dries and it's kind of oily So I went ahead and pulled one while it's still wet Thank you, mami logan. Um, and it it worked so far. It's that one and So we did a whole bunch of this So I'm going to wait for it to dry and then I'm going to pull it and see what it does Well, I tried to pinch it and make it as tall and not undery as possible I did believe the disclaimer that you it probably worked best if you did every other one And then pull it so I would do like for instance the pink And then leave this one open and then do this one and leave this one open that way you could pinch and pull the Clay out and fill it in It'll be just blank Um, I was just going to get like a gold resin and just fill it in Listen, this is just a test so no one has to do it Gotcha And anyways We think about that experiment color Very nice. All right you guys What's up, Heidi? Thank you for watching and we'll see you guys later today for the follow-up video But till then All the stuff I said a second ago. So yeah, bye
