 Hello everyone. It's Wednesday at one o'clock. I told you I would be back every Wednesday at one o'clock and I think this is week five. So things are going well. And today is a special day because as the coronavirus restrictions ease, I'm going to have Jeff come in here and hold the camera and ask your questions and get close up views of what I'm working on and hopefully it'll be really helpful for all of you. We have a lot to cover. There were a bunch of questions last week and then in the comments everyone left all of their questions. So I'm going to cover a bunch of them. I can't do them all. It's getting a bit much but we have some props set up. While we wait for people to come, I'll just walk around. Hello Janine. Oh we got people coming on. Thank you. Welcome, welcome. So Jeff's going to be joining us soon being the cameraman because in southern Ontario, Canada, some retail is allowed open. Oh Shexie Shelley. Hi from Italy. Hi everyone. I heard Italy opened. Congratulations. Life's coming back. It's sunny here in Canada. Hello, I'm a cram. Hey Dave. Hey Carrie Burns. India. Awesome. Look at the blue sky. So exciting. Hi everyone. Van Coover enjoying your videos. Thank you. It was a good week Julie. Thank you. Today we're going to be talking about Yuppo paper. That was one of the questions. I'm going to be showing you hello from Ireland. Hello from Canada. Thanks for joining everyone. There's lots to do today and I'm quite organized and I have an assistant coming anytime. I think he ate a burrito bowl and he had to run to the washroom. I said Jeff we started one o'clock and then I see him run to the washroom. I read some quote. I'm going to show you a quote about artists actually in these times. You have a big gallery. It's my dream. Oh, well, it is so nice to have space. Hello from Washington. Look at this quote. Artists are specialized cells in the social organism. They are evolutionary cells. Mankind is trying to become something else. It's experimenting with new ideas all the time when artists are means of introducing new ideas into the society and also means of responding symbolically to life. I don't think we're in control of what we do. I like I it's I mean it's such a weird time. So making art it's our job as artists to just take what's in here and put it down see what happens. Okay. I appreciate New York City. Hope you're doing a lot better. I think you are. So other things we're going to do. This is a contraption for love the sparkle chamber. Love from oh thank you. This thing turns and it was we used it for making what are they called cups that you cover on resin. I was going to resin a balloon today but we'll look at that thing. So this thing just spins and when you have resin on something that's spinning then the resin goes smooth. Costa Rica Sydney Australia welcome everyone. Thank you for coming. Just waiting for a cameraman Jeff is on his way. Another thing we're going to do today. I rock resin art. I resin rock art little ridges on the bottom of my rocks. I need suggestions how to smooth that out. I've resin some rocks. How do you smooth that out? I mean sandpaper and then wipe on resin again to cover all the areas with that ridges. Next week we're going to tackle that. People have been making a lot of painting rocks and resigning them. So I'm going to start my list for next week. Next week we will resin some rocks and figure out how to get rid of those ridges. Hello Natalie Lopez. So this is going to be the next week list. Rocks and in brackets ridges. Okay well we just wait for Jeff to finish his poop. The ridges are sharp. Do you mean redo the bottoms? That's what she's done. Yeah redo the bottoms. We'll look at it next week but I think sanding it off or using a Dremel or something. Yeah light coat of resin to follow. Summer set UK. Hello Caroline. So look what this thing is. Someone asked a question about making molds for making molds for making their own trays out of resin adding wooden there. And this is an amazing mold. This plastic is called HDPE. It's a really strong thick plastic and it's made by this company MRM and I think that means makers reusable molds. And you can see how deep your pores there when you go up. Summer's hit USA. Thanks for sharing. Of course thanks for watching. So we'll get into this a little bit later once Jeff gets here. I paint a broke ship in the ocean storm. Alright another question that we're gonna talk about quickly is flowers. How do you put flowers in resin? And there's art to do that. So we're gonna talk about I hear Jeff coming. Staying safe. Yeah. Oh that's so nice. People patiently. Jeff's here. We started out. So sorry. Okay so are you seeing yourself for me? I'm seeing you. Okay. Yay. So this is Jeff. Say hi Jeff. What's up? Hello everybody. And so Jeff will kind of manage this video and if he sees a question he'll you know ask it. So and then we have a list of what we're gonna cover today and they're all based on the questions from last Wednesday and in the comments. Beautiful. Hi Caroline. Hi Caroline. We got our list and we're just gonna start and just go through this whole list. Hi Jeanine. Hi Free Spirit. So I don't know if I see people's names with the questions. We'll do our best. It's good if you've got it written there. That's actually a hard fun mold. I was talking about making, how can I make my own molds for making coasters and stuff just around the house. So this is so much easier. I know. Good glad I can help. Hey Margarita. David, quick question from Julie. What did you do to your wrist? Oh it's a thumb injury. I was pulling big logs out of the forest. Which is just the best thing to do in the world. Yeah. So nice to pull the logs out of the forest. And I just scraped it. Thanks for asking. No problem. Quick question from Michael. What was the slow resin you talked about last week? Oh slow resin. I'll show you how it happened. Lots of questions. Sorry I'll try to. Well maybe if there's another one. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Look at I poured this last week. I mean, have you ever seen a resin that cures? Like perfectly and no torch needed and just in room temperature. No. Wow. Yeah. So it works really good. That was the first test. And I'm not really allowed to talk about it right now. Yeah, that's coming soon. We've been working on this for over two years and we've been working on this formula. Yeah, this is actually pretty exciting. Yeah. So stay tuned. Are you going to the UK? Sajid wants to know? Like selling in the UK? I don't maybe you personally, I don't know. Because we are in the UK right now. Yeah, we're selling in the UK. Actually we want to stay at the UK site this weekend. Beauty. Yeah, our resin.com.co.uk. Okay, so we're going to talk about making your own molds for making posters at home. Before we do that, you can always go to the dollar store and you can buy, this is by someone sent us this proton PPA and press. And it's just a round cork that you can get from the dollar store or Amazon. And then just that, you know, you can put print your own paper out on there and then resin it. Now another question someone has was about heat and scratch resistance. Now epoxy resin is very hard, but it's plastic, right? So if I was to try it, like I can't scratch it with my nail, but if I was to take a nail and scratch it. Like a hammer and nail, nail, nail, nail. Anyways, and then heat resistance. If you, if you mix accurately and stir really well, then all the chemical reaction happens and it gets as hard as it possibly can and has the highest heat resistance. I don't know the actual number, but don't take something out of the oven and put on it, but you can put coffee cups on it. Sometimes like it's too hot, it might be a ring, but hopefully that very often it does self feel. I think it is a plastic. It's not a glass or a rock or anything, but it's good for you. Okay. So this is the mold that we're going to make. Sweet. This is just silicone from doing, this one's for the kitchen and who was it that did this video? So you've teased everybody though, Dave. Oh, it was a Carmen. But you've teased now this slow resident and everybody wants to know when, what's the ETA? I know it's painful. I can't give an ETA, but can you say 2020? Oh yeah. Okay. There you go. And I think before fall, I think it's safe. Just an estimate. Just an estimate free spirit. I would say before the fall, don't hold us to that, even though it's probably recorded now. And this makes an organic shape. What's the video that we made that has a girl doing this? So it was Carmen. She did it. It was for, it was a short video. What did we title that one? Look up, what was it? It'll come to me, but yeah, we have three videos out with Carmen where she talks about leftover resin. She does a full project with three different models. And then there's a short one just on doing, or actually maybe it's part of the big one. So it's, oh yeah. So it's her how to mold, yeah, how to mold your resin. How to mold your resin? Something like that. Yeah. Oh boy. Sorry. So another question on the same, just what I have underneath the silicone is the sheet of plastic. And someone asked last week, what do you cover the table with? And this is a sheet of plastic. And the best place I can get it from Uline, because it's kind of an industrial product. And you just write these rules of, and just look up sheet of plastic, you know, on a roll and then it falls out and it unfolds every nice and big, right? But this is great. So we just, we're trying to make it happen, putting the fresh stuff down to the old and taping it off. And then when it gets too beat up, you just do it again. And that really saved your surfaces. And resin doesn't stick to this stuff. That's right. Peel these things off. Yeah. See? Boom. Look at that. It pops right off. Okay. So that was someone else's question was about what do you cover the table with? Let's check something out. So that's silicone for coated mold. And at the end, how we'll do these videos, it's going to be all the questions get taken care of. And then at the end, we're going to resin a bunch of stuff. And maybe we'll resin some of the stuff that we talked about. We'll fill out that silicone mold because silicone sets really fast. So silicone for coated molds. We're going to resin that still sticky after four days. If it's still sticky after four days, it's either didn't measure perfectly or improper mixing makes long enough. And as long as when you put it up vertical, it doesn't drip down and just apply another coat of prop. And I'll fix the sticky stuff. But if it's been four days and still sticky, then something went wrong. Unless you're living in Antarctica. That's right. Shelf life is six months opened, one year unopened. Yeah. After six months, if it's open, oxygen has gotten in and that it oxidizes like a banana. So once exposed to oxygen. So that's why I would say that, but it'll just this color of it, but it's still completely usable. Okay. Cover table with plastic. Check. I think we're going to talk about sand today. Actually, someone's asking about sand. So I think we're going to cover that today. So hang in there. Scratch and heat resistant. Check. Mold making resin over like a varnish deep cast triangles. Okay. So question with butane versus propane. Mold that mold making thing, liquid dex varnish, deep cast triangles. And then this is what we're going to present today. So let's just go talk a little bit about butane versus propane quickly. Cool. So butane torches are are smaller in angle. And they all seem to fill from the bottom. And you buy your butane cans like this. I would say butane is kind of, you get a intro to torching or doing small things. As opposed to propane even, I mean, it comes in a larger tank. This one's, I can get this in camping section. It usually looks like this in camera. And in like the soldering plumbing section, they're like this for some reason. But, and I like these ones just because they're easier to hold on to. And do you remember the differences between butane and propane? I think they even heat at the same temperature. It's a blue flame. Same temperature. I prefer the butane. I prefer, I prefer the propane because I find it way easier to find propane tanks. It's easier to find. Thank you, Angela. I'm glad you like it. Keep going. Sorry Dave. And what else is different about butane and propane? The torch is, it's a bigger flame with the propane torch. And then you can attach this flame clip thing to make it wider. Spreader. Yes, that's spreader. So I like propane. I don't know too many differences other than like size of can. It's kind of a pain in the back to refill these ones. All the time you can fill them more often. It's not that big of a deal, but I like propane. It's kind of a personal preference I guess. And I wanted to say hello mom if you're watching. Hi mama Zach. And just to piggyback that too, if you do fill it, fill up the little torches, just remember when you do fill it to let it settle for a minute or two. We found that sometimes it doesn't fire up right away and you can get frustrated, but if you just let it settle once you feel it, then it's good to go. Yeah, like the butane side of it. Okay, why are we talking about this? Heat gun or flame torch? Heat guns, I mean it blows it a bit. I used to use a heat gun. The thing I didn't like about a heat gun was the cable, unless you get a wireless heat gun, but the torch just works so much better. Yeah, it really targets it better. Yeah, and then I don't know what flame gun is. Yeah, I don't know. I think it's just heat gun versus flame. So yeah, it's like flame. Okay, so one thing I'm not going to go too deep into this because there's a lot of content but people are making a lot of resin trays, like putting scrap pieces of wood in and making serving trays, or they're making big coffee tables out of it or large tables, and making a mold for your resin table is a whole art in itself. It can take hours just to make a mold. There has been one way that's been most common online, and maybe it's a good way to start it out until you figure out what size you want, but then eventually it's a great idea. You can reuse this mold so many times and it's easy to put together. They have lots of content if you're interested in this type of stuff, but if you're going to be trying to make some money and you're making a whole bunch of trays and making a whole bunch of coffee tables that are so popular right now, then buying the folding mold will save you hours and hours and hours of time. This is the way that you will find people doing it most commonly online right now, as you can just buy it like this is just pine. I need a base piece as well, but I'm just giving you the basics, that again there's lots of people showing you how to make this online on YouTube. Someone named Ed and Andrea Zach just said, hi David. Oh, why not my dad? I'm sorry, I think Kim Warren, I missed a message. I'm not sure there might be Kim. He might have something happened if people were just offering their condolences. So anyways, sorry if I missed some messages guys. I apologize. I'm doing my best to read and film. And listen, it's all good. So you apply duct tape over pine and you just create boxes that look just like this one. So it'll look just like this, but it'll be on a pine and duct tape. So you duct tape the whole bottom of your surface. You duct tape your sides and you actually build a mold like that. And then once the resin and cures, you can just pop these off the sides. Nice. But then you can only use those usually once to be honest. So it's a whole process just to build the box as well as doing the table itself. But that was a question from Maria Gabriel. Thank you. Scratch heat resistance, duct tape, silicone coasters, resin over a liquid varnish. Gigi from Scotland, hello. Neat, eh? There's this nighttime there. So two more questions, then we're going to start resonating. So someone asked, can I resin- Thanks Michael. Can I resin over varnish? And they said specifically liquid text. And we just happened to have some liquid text varnish here. So I'm just going to, I mean the answer is yes. You can resin over anything basically. Um, the main thing you want to keep in mind is have you let it dry long enough. Because sometimes if you didn't let your varnish dry, then I can continue to have a chemical reaction and that can create bubbles in your resin. So just let, I'm just looking for a brush. I should have done this outside so I wouldn't have been dry by the end. I'm still going to resin this. I'll just let it dry for, uh, I'll let it dry for 10 minutes. And I'm still going to resin it. So I'm going to put a varnish. And, um, what this is is, uh, it's resin and resin tint. And then I sanded it. I just thought it was beautiful, but I wanted to finish it nicely. So that'll be an experiment. And we'll see next week how it turned out. Varnish. So another question from someone. These are molds you can just get on Amazon. And they're for making pyramids that have brought some up. Anyways, if you want to suspend, so this, this, uh, comment was about suspending items in a clear thing of resin in the pyramid mold. Now there's, there's some things to consider. If you're using art resin is made for thin coats, you can get away with doing lots and lots of thin coats and build it all up. And that's actually probably the best way to do it. If you want to suspend things is to just be patient and do lots of layers. So for example, well, I'll do the first, I'll do the first layer today is I'll pour in some art resin. Hello, Kim. And then let it come, let it, what's called gel turn thicker. And then you can place objects and they'll still stay in there. And every three hours you can pour a game or you can wait overnight before again. But that's, that's how you're going to suspend things in resin. That's clear. If you don't want to suspend things, you just want to do it all in one pour. That's when you need the slow cure. That's where you need to slow cure epoxy resin. Put that into your restroom. Okay, before trying to build with the tech department, now on to what we're going to be doing today. Boom. So Jenny 0278 lost her cat or a pet. And she wants to, she has her pet's ashes and some of that hair. And she wants to put it in the pyramid. Just a little thing that you can hold on to as a memory, which is nice to hear about passing. So what I have here is I killed my cat and burned it. I'm just joking. This is dust from the garage floor and I thought it resembled ashes enough. And then I actually cut my hair to put it in there. Yeah. So we're going to mix this up in the resin and I have a couple of silicone molds. We'll probably just fill up one of these pendants and then we can just see what happens. And hopefully that's close enough. We were going to resin a balloon, but we got a better idea. We're going to buy a bunch of balloons that are all different shapes. And then, and then probably next week we'll do a lot of balloon resigning for some reason. Yeah, something to do. Feel free to pop by. Now, okay, flowers. Flowers. This is silica gel. I thought it was called silica sand. And this is, you can just buy silica, silica sand from wherever you can find it. Or this one's actually marketed for doing this, for preserving flowers. So basically what silica sand does, from my understanding, is it dries out the flowers, it gets rid of all the water without getting rid of the color, which is so important. That's so cool. Yeah. All right. Sorry, quick answer to Angela. Angela, call our sales department. Ask for Tracy and she'll talk to you about the question you just asked. She can talk to you about any of your cost questions. Cool. Sorry, Dave. Does he just kind of bury it in there? And I actually have never done this before, but I have an example. We, Joanne did it and it turned out well. Yeah, it turned out really well. See, and then you let it sit. Okay, why don't you show them those petals there while I read these? See, we did our own little flower design here. Just took all these different, dried all these flowers out. Multiple different ways, actually, a few different ways. And then just did our heart design and laid them out in a nice pattern and then resin them. And it looks turned out really well. And this was done over almost a year and a half ago. Yeah, so it looks really good. We got the nice shine. We've got our wall of hearts. So this is usually on our wall of hearts over there, which has got a whole bunch of different mediums that we've used from rocks to mosaic, to wood, to watercolor, to clay, pencil, everything. Okay, let's just start resin stuff. All right, Dave wants to resin, let's do it. So next week, we're going to put these flowers probably in this beautiful mold with a slow cure resin and just try to. Awesome. Oh, and last week we had leftover resin. So we just did a splash of pink and a splash of white. And I wanted to take these out for you guys. Is it resin tint or alcohol ink? Oh, there's not too much. This is, can you see it from the side? Yeah, yeah. Look at that. Look at the tendrils going on there. That is so cool. So that's why when you when you use white alcohol ink, that's what that's the effect that you get. So I'm going to give these to resin to resin. I'm going to give these to Zoe. And she's going to. Oh, Zoe's going to love it. Oh, Zoe's going to freak out. Oh my, look how clear this is. So this is the, this is the extra slow cure resin. Wow. That's incredible. Oh my, that looks so good. Can I hold that for the camera? Look at this. Wow. So this is the slow cure resin. Such a different effect, Dave. Oh, I'm going to get, hold on. Hold on everybody, I'm going to put on the table here. Well, I'm just seeing this for the first time. This looks so good. Look at like it spreads it out. Almost mathematically. That is crazy. Wow. I love it. I love it. Thanks guys. Good job, Dave. That's really good. Sorry, Lori. We do have, sorry, quick. There's a check out our how to resin video. There's a how to resin paper collage. There's actually one online on our YouTube channel. Sorry, Dave. Go ahead. So this is just so much fun to do. And this is just a dog food container. And after I was done with the resin, I just left it upside down on this plastic. And then watch this. Oh, look at that. It just peels out perfectly. This one's not as nice as usual. Look at that. Oh my goodness. Nice. Nice. It's good to have reusable tools, right? Yeah. Okay, I'm just going to mix up some resin. We're going to put another coat on this old wooden man. The last one would be just completely saturated in resin. We're going to mix some ashes, some fake ashes, and some of my hair in some resin accordion charm. We're going to continue filling up these cracks on this one because resin keeps leaking out. Hopefully I've sealed everything up enough now. So I just want to fill these up full and then sand the heck out of it. We're going to continue to fill up this crack. And someone had a comment last week and says, why don't you fill out something else first instead of wasting all that resin? And now it's a really good idea. But I already started, so. But yeah, if you have big cracks in wood, then maybe you can squeeze wood filler in there or something. And then pass it out first because I've wasted so much resin on this piece. And then the last thing we're going to resin, oh no, we have two more things we're going to resin. We're going to resin this varnish test. We're going to resin this silicone. It's getting pretty close. I'm just going to pour the resin in it as is. And then we're going to do the first coat, the first layer of our suspended, we'll have all the parts suspended in a clear block of resin. Okay? Great. Let's do it. And this is going to be for a balloon, but we're going to do it next week. Save it. Sorry if I missed some questions, guys. Anything we do miss, we'll try to, we'll go back through the comments and we'll again address them next week. Or hopefully we can do it again today. If I keep, if I see them pop up again. Last week we did cross stitch. Someone asked, the problem was, I should have trimmed all of the, you can see the extra stuff in behind. So I should have trimmed the back nicely. So I'm actually going to sand this down. Just the same paper. Nice and rough. Thanks, Laurie. And then I'm going to paint, put some touches of white paint over top of those parts and then resin it again. I feel bad that it doesn't look perfect, but you can resin over top of cross stitch. Oh, we have another question. I totally forgot about it. Angela's got a point. I think it's Angela mentioned to, well, you could fill the crack in now if you wanted to for that stump. If you wanted to experiment putting mud or, or wood in there. But yeah, lots of options. So another question is, how do I mount yucca paper? And if you don't know what yucca paper is, this is a piece of art done on yucca paper. Mounted on a wooden board. Yucca paper is basically a plastic paper and you can buy it in all sizes. And yucca is spelled. Yucca or yupo? Yucca or yupo, I don't know. It's spelled Y-U-P-O. I'll write that down on yucca paper. And then we'll, Y-U-P-O. And so what I've done is I, I mounted a piece of yucca paper on a wooden canvas. And that was what the question was. I also want to show you why people love yupo paper. Yeah. So, I used to use this stuff, 3M Sir 77, and a lot of people use it. Two things about this is I've, stuff that I've used this on, I've had to peel off after a time. And if it, if it overspreads and gets on the surface, then it creates bubbles in the resin. So I don't use this anymore. I always go back to just buying a good quality glue stick. And that's what I did for yupo paper. There's glue stick, paper on, and then I like, these are braids. Just rubber braids used for print, print making. And that'll do it. And then taking exactly enough to the back and turn that. But let's go on to why people love yupo paper. People love yupo paper because of alcohol ink. So you can just make the coolest stuff. That's a really dark purple. Wow. And if you add, and adding white too. And metallics. Oh yeah, look at that. Nice. Yeah. I mean, you just got to play with it. And I mean, this was one that just turned over. So look up yupo paper art, and you'll see what people are doing with this stuff. Never really played much with this before. So I don't know if, I'm sure there are lots of tricks and tricks and techniques. But I mean, it just makes cool edges and I'm looking for a white. Find a white. So that's how to mount yupo paper. To, that's how to mount yupo paper. Just use a glue stick. It's not that complicated. Okay, I'm going to mix up some resin. I always feel like I'm in a big rush in these videos. Well, yeah. Just got to breathe, take it in. You're trying to get a lot in at once, but uh. Well, it's exciting. I know. Can you use food coloring in resin? The liquids or gels? Good question. We'll write that down next week. We'll bring food coloring in. But I mean, yes, you can. Absolutely, you can. 100% you can. People that, I think you can use mustard in resin. No way. You can put your breast milk in resin. You can put blood in resin. People do all sorts of weird things. What other disgusting things do you put in resin? Yeah. Uh, what, uh, I'm sure you could put in, uh, bones. If there are bones, bones are actually cool. Okay, so I'm just getting my gloves on. Thanks, Julie. Julie says, don't stress. You're doing an awesome job. Thanks, Julie. I had to do some stretches beforehand, deep breaths. Thanks, Angela. Yeah, we actually did that, Dave, and uh, some of the crew did a big clean here. So the place is looking better. We had it. We had stuff everywhere for a while. Thanks, Kim. So the resin is. So we just buy these mixing cups. When you see a little stack from the dollar store, take the whole stack and don't feel bad about it either. Just take them all. You can, how many times do you think you can use one of these over a day? A lot. If you look after it, oh yeah. Yeah. I don't think we can run out. It just comes to a point where. Eventually this truck, they get too gross. Yeah. And how much resin do we want to mix today? Hmm, all those projects. Not too much resin, eh? Actually it's pretty low-key today. Okay. So one more thing I wanted to do is I'm just going to take it back to this piece quick. Why are we taping it back? So that the drips of resin will peel right off the bottom as opposed to having to use a file or a chisel or. Hey, Mary. Sander. Hey, Mary. I don't even want to talk about COVID, the virus. Done. Gone. I'm going to make a small chat like. So, how's your hospitals? Are your restaurants open or curbside pick up? I learned about you should take your gloves off before you take things. Oh yeah. Is it going to stick to it? Yeah, it's a disaster. Okay. That's good. Boom. Now where are those resin stands? Oh yeah, where are the new resin stands? Okay, you're not going to know all this without you. I'm trying to like. Yeah, you know, I can't imagine actually. So these are the resin stands you have in our accessory kits. Nice. One, two, three, four, five things to six things to resin. Okay. Oh, nice. Good to hear, Julie. Things are slowly opening in BC. Oh, yes. So this is the hardener. I'm just going to do the rest of this bottle. How much do we got there? Two and a third. Two and a third. So we need four and two thirds. Four and two thirds. Wow. Holland says hello. UK Frasier Valley. Wow. We're in Ontario and just outside Toronto. Which Frasier Valley? BC. Well, we're in a place called Water Down. Doesn't that sound nice? That sounds nice. I don't know. Never really actually thought about that. Yeah. To. Jeanine says it's okay to slow down. Catching our breath. So we have our chickens. I've been laying double yolk eggs almost every day now. It was every other day. There's not every day. So you crack the egg and it has two yolks in it. One of the chickens, yeah. I know. So exciting. And you can tell it's a double yolk egg too. It's because it's so much bigger. Oh, no way. Now we got New Jersey here. Hey, Nancy. Hey, Nancy from New Jersey. Angel's got all day. So go ahead, Dave. We got all day. I know. What do you have to do after this? Yeah. Go home and just do the same. Allow the rinse repeat. Yeah. Okay. Oh, no. Hope your wrist heals. Something about the wrist? Yeah, I guess so. But it'll come back and then you'll be ready to resin. Please, which brand is good for resin and now expensive? And non-expensive? I think so, yeah. Well, I mean... We just recommend Art Resin. Well, Art Resin was made. There's two main things that we cared about because it's being used about one art. We cared that it was really clear and we cared that it was non-toxic. So if you care about those two things, then I mean the reason I'm not wearing a respirator because there's, I mean, all these ingredients are expensive ingredients, right? Because it stays clear and it's non-toxic. So you can buy cheaper resins. Those are the two things that you'll probably have to sacrifice on. Yeah. It's either... It all depends on what you're doing. I mean, if you're adding a bunch of color to it, then maybe it doesn't matter if it yellows, you know? Or if you're going to pop a wood, maybe it doesn't matter if it yellows as much. Then you can get a cheaper resin. Hey, Tammy. Tammy's got her coffee and enjoying the show. Oh, I asked Rebecca to make me coffee. Oh, you didn't get a coffee? Should I go get a letter? Yes, and I will capture it. Okay. Here we go, guys. We're going to get... I said please, really loudly. Get me a coffee, please. It's okay. That didn't sound promising. No, no, no. Oh, was it? She felt bad. Oh, she... I'm sorry, I'll make her right now. Bam. She's so good. Thanks for reminding me. Who was that? Jeanine? Jeanine or Tammy? Sorry. You don't drink coffee. I don't. I don't. I know I'm surprised with three kids, but... Lori thinks you're cute. Oh, Lori. Rebecca's been yelling at me to eat better lately. Joelle, she's been off. She's been reading books on how to be really healthy. Yeah, and then we ordered freshy today. And you heard that I ordered the cob salad. And then what did you go and do? It's the one that had the healthiest burrito I ever had. I did good. Adorable coffee. A lot of people love in the coffee. Wow, coffee is a hot topic. Yes. I'd rather have, maybe, at least six copies. No, I'll get out. Really? Wow. I'll even get coffee at dinner tonight. I'm still a little sleepy tonight right now. Because of the circumstances. Supposedly you take after your mom. Guess who made that comment. Oh, nice. Yeah. Our daughter Zoe brought us coffee in bed again today. Whoa, look at this. Wow. The best teacher mug. So special. That's so cute. Thank you so much. Three minutes to mix this right, Lori. Yep, three minutes. Thank you so much. And look at that. What we're doing, we did a test of liquid text varnish over this. We're showing people how to make a coefficient mold. Is that resin? Yeah, that's right. Thanks. Like we already went around, we had all the stations, but then this is the stuff we're resining. That's how we're ending the videos. So we're filling in this crack. We're filling in this crack. Someone's passed away, so they're pasting hair. And so those are just dust in my hair to make it dependent. No masks required when you're in a well-ventilated area. You're good. We got the right ingredients to... Actually, the only thing that smells right now is that silicone. Yeah, I can smell that too. I know. Yeah, silicone. Stinky. I want to, speaking of silicone. That's right. No mask, no VOC. It's over here. Thanks for bringing it. You're the best. Wow, you're the best. Say bye. Should I ask for a tea? You should. No, I'm not going to do that. Five kids. Mary Ann. Oh, five kids. She lives off of coffee. Five kids. And look at that, Dave. Just the enjoyment, it just looks such satisfaction there. Can you imagine? Well done. Stir it for what you think is three minutes and then say, oh crap, how long was that? I don't know. So then stir it a bit more. No, nice. Or put on your favorite song and just stir it while the song is on. And you run as kid's nursery. You're killing me here, Mary Ann. Wow, you are a trooper. Holy cow. It's coffee. Yeah, coffee does it. And Baileys in the coffee? Yeah, someone said that actually. Nice. Wow. See, you're in the same wavelength. Little drop of Baileys. Draw. And wine. So why don't we put some color in this one too? Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. That'd be great. Tint it up. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe I'll make two colors and pour them on either side and then see if it just does something cool. Do we have gold leaf? People love that too, right? People love gold leaf. Yeah, oh yeah. Especially in coasters. Do you know gold leaf comes in every color? What? Yeah, I'll show you. This is the best A-K-F-I-X. This is the best silicone, I think. Acfix. That's right. I don't know, I've never used it actually. So someone gave it to me and said this is the best silicone. So I don't know. And they're trustworthy? Oh. About a boom. About a boom. On the silicone. What are we doing? I don't know. Oh, you're going to get the different colors to mix? Yeah, thank you. So what colors do you want to do? Boom, colors. Do you want to do alcohol or resin? Go resin. Let's go resin since. Okay, let's do something with two colors. Why not like a... Yes, you don't need a mask when you're using art resin. Why not pink me to yellow? Ooh. And you can pink me to the yellow in the mix. Okay. Pink and yellow, here we go. Okay. So. So in a separate container, you're going to mix it up? Well, I know I'm going to do some colors and I'll get some gold leaf actually for the tip of our pyramid. Ooh. I'll have some gold leaf in it. Oh, that's a good idea. And again, the method that I'm going to do is doing lots of thin layers to build up this pyramid because you want things floating in space. You have to do lots of thin layers. Yeah. So anyway, I thought about like rating it up with like fishing wire and everything and you probably could do that. If you want something floating right in the middle of a resin box or something. Let's figure it all out. I think someone Audi 2003 was asking if it's... They're wondering if it's still safe around kids as well. Well, I mean, we have a three year old and he loves doing the Petri dishes, but it's terrifying. It's safer in kids, but it's just terrifying because it's an industrial glue. So if your kid gets it on their hand and then they like touch their face, like even now our kids gets on their hand, they got like, it just scares the crap out of me. So if you're with, you can use it with kids, like, I mean, the weirdest things we do around our kids, like using Windex. You could to stop them from arguing. Caroline's wondering if you can resin your kids. Can you resin your kids? Yes. It'd be a really slow, painful death. Really slow. Unless your kids are already dead. Wow. This just went dark. But I would suggest taking your kid's body and putting it in a a silica stand for a week maybe. Now we're talking. Whoa, Ollie. Yo, says Ollie. Oh, Ollie. Ollie. How many tortures have we sold? What's the difference? Oh, good question between resident and alcohol. Oh, great. Resent, resident is oil based. And like it's alcohol based. And it just does different chemistry. Basically, if you wanted to get like if you were using an oil based resident and you want it to be very translucent, it would probably, it would probably be very lightly tinted. If you add a lot of resident or a base, then you can become like, okay, a piece of plastic. Alcohol ink is much more translucent. So you could get, you can put in a lot more alcohol ink and it'll still be translucent, right? And then alcohol ink does other things like these poops. Oh no, spilled resin all over. See these pieces of dishes? Yep. You can get effects like that with alcohol ink. You can't get effects like that with resented. And that's basically because of chemistry and science. Because of chemistry and science. Chemistry and science. So I'm just adding a little bunch of this stuff. The technical data sheets will tell you not to add more than six percent of any color under addition. If you wanted to have the same properties. If you want it to be as hard. If you want it to be as hard. Okay, I want it to be more yellow because that red is very strong. No more than six percent of the total volume of the resin you have mixed. Yeah. Get it. Okay, I'm going to grab some gold leaf. Hopefully I can find all the color gold leaf because it I nearly fainted when I saw all the color options. So you said there's, yeah, we have multicolored gold leaf. So what is it? Is it gold leaf? Any color? So what do they call it? I think it's a green leaf. I didn't know. I thought you could only get like gold and silver. There's tons. Look at everything. Every color you want. Oh, here's a Martha Stewart brand. We're going to, no, I'm just going to use this premium bold leaf. We'll just put it. Okay. Now this isn't exciting. It's next week on Wednesday at one o'clock. We're going to be grabbed in balloons. Balloons. Let's get this exciting. No, it certainly doesn't blow. Balloon joke. Balloons. You have to blow them up. No. Damn it. Okay. Look at that. Let's add some more. Feeling crazy. That is a good tip, Angela. Yeah. If you use a shower cap to avoid getting hair in anything. Absolutely. It just looks so dirty though. You look dirty. We have tons of videos of you wearing a cap actually. I don't use to wear everything. Oh, remember one of the first videos I did with us was the the resonator, was it? Or something where you did the superhero one? You had the cap on? I don't know. Okay, if you need gloves and popsicle sticks for string. Boom. Sorry, I was just having you follow me around. No, that's good. Look for the thing. I feel so bad that I wasn't doing this before. You must have been like crazy going back to the camera and back. Lie on the tripod and then come and like read comments. And then it was stressful. This is stressful too. The lighting is so much better here too on this angle. Okay, I got gloves on. So popsicle sticks, I just brought them and then I brought them over here. She has the media handy because you can edit, right? Look at how much color in there. Wow, that's so vibrant. That is a lot. Dave was like the flash, they said. Oh, I need to find another popsicle stick for this one. Other tips, sometimes when you're looking at your colors and you look just down at the resin mixture, it might look with certain color. But if you actually want to see what it's going to look like, pull it up the sides and that really shows what color you're working with. This is so nice. People are getting together. Our hair and ashes, nice. Thanks, Ollie. What's Ollie saying? Good tip when I was offering the resin tip. So Ollie is in Texas getting haircuts, massages, taking his family to restaurants. I don't know, but I'm actually jealous about Mandy Johnson right now who's got a perfect resin room that she's done with, like she turned a closet into it, into a resin room and she's has zero issues ever since with stuff. That's awesome. Well done. Dust? Nothing, I guess. Okay. Dust, hair, anything? Hair and ashes. I want it to be quite thick. Here we go. Where would you put popsicle sticks? A few. There it is, hair and ashes. So this is an resin. And it's for the tip of our pyramid. So this is a great mold and it's just on Amazon. It comes in two pieces, a big plastic part. And this is a silicone insert. I should, this stuff isn't coming off, but we don't have time to worry about that right now. Okay, I'm just going to pour it on. Here we go. Cool, that's good actually. Now that is thicker than I'd usually do it with our resin. But because there's so much gold in there, if there are bubbles trapped, you won't really notice them. So I'm not too concerned. But then, what I'll do is I'll do another coat of just clear and then we'll play with objects floating in space. Cool. Okay, so we'll have the gold leaf layer, which is the tip. Let it cure. Put another thin layer of art resin on there. And then you'll move into putting an object in as well and suspend it. Yeah. Oh, so this will be a multi-week kind of thing. We'll do it with it. That's awesome. So here's my idea with this one. So again, this is a plastic sheet, just some two-part silicone. And we're going to see what happens. I mean, look how much stronger that red is than the yellow, eh? Mm-hmm. How long between thin layers? After about three hours, it's not just the perfect state. It's thin layers. Yeah, after about three hours, it's in this gel state. Even two hours, sometimes heat up your room a bit and do it in two hours. Yeah, an important new layer. If you let it sit longer, then you can just sand it down, sand down the layer and add your next layer. Yeah. Yeah, we'll get some orange reform in there. So I just added a ton more yellow to this. And I'm just going to make it a bit more saturated there. Okay, we'll see what happens with that. We have some extra resin. We won't waste. We'll do something with it. How hot for the room? I mean, it's always good to get it. They put some room meters in there. Well, I guess that's all you need to get the room. And that'll speed it up? Yeah. But just, yeah, you definitely don't want to, if something, if your resin is curing in a room, you don't want the temperature to fluctuate. That's how you get waves or in your resins. So you want to make sure that you keep the temperature consistent. So next, we're going to mix up our fake pet ashes. It's warm now. I mean, our temperatures are changing. Okay. I have a feeling that most of this stuff is just going to sink to the bottom. We'll see. Okay, I'm going to do a shape of a key locket or just a nice shape. Maybe just the shape. MG, I think I might have missed your question, but if you're asking, if you do warm your resin, just be aware that warmer resin will cure faster. So your cure, our cure time is normally 40, 45 minutes. If you do warm your resin, it will cure faster. So just be aware that your working time is less. Yeah. This is very unique, Dave. Okay, perfect amount. Look at that. Okay. So I chose the key of the key one, just this mold is all crusty actually. Oh yeah, nice. All right. Okay. So we'll check back there, but that's one thing to do here. That's the memories. All right. Okay. So we should have a homemade coaster mold. Problem. And it doesn't seem to be leaking. Good. I don't think, unless that's a leak. What do you think? Could be. See, I didn't let the toilet come here. Thanks, Ollie. Thanks, Ollie. Is Ollie just complimenting you on what you're doing? No, no, no. He's actually offering advice as to the ideal temperature. And now he's asking about your left hand. Oh, it was something cool. What's the cool reason for hurting yourself? Well, there was a, wasn't there a purse snatcher? Oh yes, I saved today at the train station. That's right. Big hero. It was crazy too. And then you were falling onto the tracks and you managed to plunge yourself off the tracks beyond the train onto the ground, but braced your fall with your left hand. And there we are. And still had the purse. I'm saving that, baby. Okay. So this one was Liquitex. Liquitex varnish. Boom. And I just wanted to finish this piece anyways. I taped off the bottom. Wow, this has been a long video. It's because there are so many questions. Yeah, we're- And I didn't even answer all the questions. Okay, on to the next. What's going on? It is for the third week filling in these cracks. Oh yeah. And then most of it just runs out the bottom. Oh man. It's because I'm rushing everything. But soon this is going to be full. And with this crack, I have a feeling this is the one. Yeah? Yeah. Do we know how deep this guy goes? It goes, it's just been running out the bottom every time. No way. Yeah. Okay, I'll come back, I'm going to do that. So, Starbucks, Tim Hortons, Dunkin Donuts, McDonald's, second cup. Where's your go-to choice for coffee? Or homemade? Yeah, it's homemade on the juror, J-U-R-A. Boom. You wouldn't know that because you don't drink coffee. Nope. It smells good. The beans smell good when they're freshly ground. And then it loses all flavor after that. It goes to a nasty, sludgy- Angela's McDonald's if out and about. Boom. Yeah, McDonald's. And my wife's the same. She likes McDonald's coffee. And Nespresso, I guess she likes. No. This is so cool. Where'd you get this, Dave? I just found this. Right as the virus was starting, me and my family were removed into a new house kind of out in the woods. And this was just in the woods. I just found this sitting there. Seriously? Yeah, same with the other one. The other one, too. They're both just there? Yeah, we'll show them that one. This is, they're so good. Some of us just put them on a tree and left and didn't forget about them. That's so cool. Really well done, eh? Like. And then one more, there's one more, too, but it's not finished. He or she. Okay. This is great. You should finish it. You're still walking aside. Boom. Boom, look. It's so nice. Smile in the sun. There you go. That's hopeful. Okay, so once again, I'm explaining too much resin. What do we do with it? I'm just going to make canvas and pour it on the canvas. Yeah? How much do we have? We'll all have pink and yellow, and then we have this clear. Did we do everything? Yeah. Which canvas? Look at this one. Did you do this one live? Yes. Look at that. Well, we'll try to, yeah, we'll try to beat the expiry here and try and get it poured before it gets too hard. I think we got some time. I'm not sure what Dave's going to do with the colors. What do you guys think? What can we do with the different resin tints? Feel like I want to pour it. Now I can do another mold. Yes, we do. Yeah, of course. Well, in most cases, with the wood we haven't been, I don't think Dave does that. But yeah, 100% recommended any time you resin your piece, cover it, whether it's with a plastic container or a wood box or something, and then to prevent it from dust or honestly, we've had it where a fly will get in there or something. So you want to cover it to prevent any imperfections. The best way you can anyways. It's hard with the big pieces like this. That's for sure. Wow, we're going to go with a blank piece. Oh, wicked. New piece. Why not? Big food nets. Nice. Whoa. See, this is why I love watching Dave work. He just goes. Like, he just gives it. Doesn't, it's like, it doesn't matter. He, it's kind of like always inspired just to do it by just going as opposed to stopping and thinking. He rather just go with it, see what comes, and I have one of his pieces hanging in my house because I like the inspiration. Looks like it. Yeah, actually. Oh no, actually no, we're good. That's from all the other weeks. Oh, okay. Yeah, we're good. Yeah, so it looks wet, right? But it's just hardened. It's cold on there. Yeah. Okay. And now let's go around the torch. Looks like it's not leaking anymore. All right. Yeah, so quickly go around the torch. So do we have any questions? I mean, we're going to do rocks. Next we're going to talk about rocks and getting the ridges off the bottom because lots of people are painting rocks, putting nice messages, leaving them out. And then if you resin them, well, lots of people are resining them and it just helps with lots of the elements. But then you get those ridges along the bottom. That was a question. We'll cover that next week because it's such a nice thing to do right now. And we'll cover balloons. And then anything else in the comments? We can cover that too. Absolutely. But let me talk to some of that. Someone's asked about paint trays. I'm not sure. Do we have a paint tray? He was asking. Oh yeah, I guess so. Well, yeah, food trays. Yes. Yeah. Okay, this is the most genius thing in the entire world. So it's from bakers, from a bakery. And we use them with drying racks and storage racks and it's leveled. And so then on the stage it's sliding out but then the resin peel is off it. We got to do U-line. U-line is so much great stuff like this. And it's on wheels. Yeah. Look at that. Whoops. Hey, there's one. Hey, there's some of the molds we did actually where we just did the silicones. We have sharp edges but then you can just silicone the outside. Someone was asking, I believe, difference between inksink or white and our white, our alcohol ink white. They are one and the same. That's right. The inksink is just good because it does help push the other colors down and create the different effects in the resin. But it is your white. Yeah, just wipe off all the inksink or you can just wipe off all of it. It's heavier. Something about it. All right. So we're going to leave it upside down. Boom. Boom. I'm just going to spread this all over the place to cover the whole canvas. How do we do that? Is the inksink going to be available in clear? I don't think so. It has something to do with the white pigment that needs to sink. Interesting. Good question. Clear. Yeah, I've never even thought about that. Okay. It's almost like silicone. So what do I do? Thanks. Boom. It's just getting out of foundation for something, you know? So stay tuned on this one. This is just. Yeah, a big mess but eventually it'll turn into something. I just love it. Oh, Dave. If you put resin on a brush, you're never going to use that brush anymore. You just killed it. Yeah. Just something all over. You just can't clean it off. Yes, if you put the containers upside down like Dave just did and then let it dry. When you pull it off, if you let it dry on top of a plastic cover, then you can pull the resin right out of the container as long as it's a plastic container. So you can reuse it again and again. Okay, torch. Best thing to get bits of sticky resin off your skin. Yeah, there is specific soaps but Dave's got one. It's just the orange soap that they use in mechanic shops. Gojo. It just always comes in orange. You saw it in Texas in like cherry and lemon and it's very jealous. It's in so if you're getting a grease off of your hands in the automotive shop but here's how you use this stuff. And so it's just very everywhere here at Resimo. It's yeah, you do it dry. Yeah, I have to use it like that and then just sweep it out of the cloth and then wash this up in water. But that's so don't use this and then water and use it dry. Good question. You can just get that on Amazon like everything else in our lives. Nice. Some people are saying baby oil or baby wipes. Baby wipes. I've never tried baby wipes. No, I've never used these. Babies use those. Okay, I'm just, I took my gloves off so I'm just using this paper towel to make sure there's resin on all the sides. Isn't that beautiful? Got some nice effects in there. Some really good cells movement. It's good. Just a happy accident. I'm going to have to grab some of this one. I'll bring it home and work on it. Perch. So I don't have much perch to do. Just this one piece and I'll do the whole thing too. You don't want to use a torch on silicon molds. It works though. That's how you torch this. And if it was alcohol, you wouldn't want to torch that. Do you want a good angle or do you see the bubbles? Yeah. Okay, go for it. Anywhere in it? Yeah. Top left is best. Top left is best. Watch these bubbles go. Boom, boom. Good? Absolutely. That's great. Okay. Is our resin available in Germany? I hope so. Is this company called Rare? Yep. Every box you resin got both in Union. We'll be back very soon. Yes. That's everything. Jeff, did anybody else have anything to talk about? No, that was awesome. That was awesome. Does anybody else have anything to talk about? I guess we can follow up with everything. Perfect timing then. Okay, well, thanks for watching everyone. Thanks for helping Jeff. No, I'm okay. And we'll see you next Wednesday at 1 o'clock and we'll be just as organized as this time. And we have lots of stuff to do. So thank you for making Wednesday something that I look forward to. I'm excited to go doing these now. It's the highlight of my week because I make stuff. Onward. Okay, did I stop now? Yeah.
