 We just completed our entry for a resin makers challenge using our door round and turning it into a resin door round And we'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back do you like to do a builder to make it so do we and we have a new video each week this week We're in for a makers challenge a hanging resin makers challenge Yeah, that's the caveat for this one this resin challenge is it must be hanging so what do we make? We make door hangers, so we feel like this is a perfect challenge for us We haven't done much with resin lately, and we're looking forward to this project We've got a great idea of how to turn our door round into a resin door round and Ocean waves okay, so what we can do. Yeah Step one we're gonna gather all of our supplies. We needed resin because it's a resin challenge. We need to pigment powders Needed some quarter-inch MDF. I have some 20 by 20 sheets We're gonna use a resin mat here because this is what we're gonna use to do our resin pour on some silicone Mr. Cups mix cups we're gonna need a heat gun to pop bubbles and move around our pigment powders and a glue gun to seal our Door round to the mat and we're gonna use the glow forge to cut out the MDF step two We're gonna make all of our cuts. I'm gonna bring the quarter-inch MDF over to the glow forge. We're gonna cut out our door round Step three And now we paint we're just gonna give it a coat of our country chic chalk paint Yep, we first want to fill our surface here We the MDF is a little bit porous so we're gonna cover it in paint first and then we're gonna cover that in a coat of polycrylic and Then we're gonna add our resin on top because we think we think it'll keep it a little less bubbly little less It's like a sponge. It holds air So I think if we could seal the air in it won't come out in the resin and we're gonna use our country chic paint in Licorice all of a sudden I forgot the name driftwood and Crenolin is not what oh simplicity. I'm actually using simplicity. Yeah. All right. All right. I'll be quick Let's do that. Yeah, let's do a quick paint job And we're gonna do our sunglass frames in this raspberry sorbet. Ooh It looks beautiful. I love the color Step four Now we seal it before the pour we're gonna give it a quick clear coat with this poly acrylic Says it dries clear. We're just gonna try to seal all these little pores Time to prep the frame for resin. We're gonna hot glue the frame to this resin mat. It's a silicone mat We're gonna see if it sticks that and the sunglasses, right? Yeah No, well wait, I'm just gonna try to go around the edge. Well, I was thinking you would Just hot glue around the edge. Oh around the edge. Okay, just to keep it from Just how am I gonna do the inside? You're not gonna do the inside. I mean you can All right. Yeah, set that on now. The idea is this is gonna be heavy enough to hold it down All right, and keep it nice and tight And go around the edge Yeah Hopefully the hot glue doesn't stick to the round Well, did you put the poly acrylic on the outside? Yep This is the part I'm not a hundred percent sure on We're just winging it folks Prepare the resin We're just gonna mix part a and part b together and give it a lot of slow stirring a lot of slow mixing We're using this Illumilite amazing deep pour. So this is two parts a to one part b So there's already it comes that way. So we'll just pour them both in this Cup and hope we have enough You want a mask up? Yeah, let's mask up We are gonna wear respirators Six time to add the pigments. We have all these little pigments. We're gonna try out black diamond. They must Shine we're gonna use this glowing sky blue. Yes, and then glow blue green We're gonna mix them in smaller containers and then blue little blue blue green and sky blue Seven time for the poor. This is where we Start to get really artsy. This is where Kim really starts to get artsy. Oh, I don't know about me We're using this roll of transfer tape to hold this centerpiece down tight I'm sure it's still gonna bleed under a little because I didn't seal the inside So we're just gonna leave this here to help add the weight and then we'll pour at the bottom Let's do it. We'll see what it looks like We're gonna de-mold it and assemble it one smooth move It's all set up. Everything's nice and hard. It's been 72 hours Yeah, after we left the shop the other day it sat for about 12 hours We came in in the morning. We saw that it was wrinkled We knew this project wasn't going to make it, but it did finally cure It took about 72 hours to fully cure it was still kind of soft in the morning and we let it sit there But you can't beat us can't hold us down So we started a second pour this time we use some whiteboard and we use the same technique of using the hot glue around the Edge to keep it down and then we just did everything the same So it's time to de-mold it or remove it from the mat. I'm not excited about this one I'm excited about the other one, but I want to see how easy it comes off the mat Just peel it off the mat. Oh, that's kind of cool looking it is Yeah, here's what I want to see You know, I knew we could get the glue off of the mat, but could we get the glue off of the MDF? We did a test. Well, does it matter with this one? Do you want to just go with the other one? I don't want to waste my time. No, don't waste your time. But I think we could sewage the sunglasses. Yeah, the sunglasses look great. Sunglasses. Oh, look it wrinkled underneath the sunglasses too. That's what the streaks are. That's pretty cool The sunglasses did a they didn't There's a little bit of a wrinkle underneath, but it didn't come all the way through So those are nice and solid and they look great I think it's like pop art stuck to the board I don't know if this will come off as easy as the other one did Oh, look at the seepage All right, that was a little harder than the silicone mat, but I think it came out better Yeah, look at that. How easy was it to get all this stuff off? I had to essentially cut it off like I was whittling So I basically just had to do one of these numbers Okay, for the next part of our assembly, we're going to go ahead and add our layers So we do have a center banner with the word summer and hello The center banner is going to glue in the center MDF that we left there Hello, I'm going to glue directly to the resin And we're going to glue the sunglasses directly to the resin Nine, and now we add the accents We're going to take it on down to bow town We're throwing our ribbon on for the hanger and Kim's making it a bow Making a little bow Now you know what I don't have is a sparkle Do you think we need something with some sparkle? No, no, no, no This barely needs a bow. This thing already sparkles I don't want to take away Sparkle ribbon I don't know I don't know, this is sparkly already Nobody will even be paying attention to the bow They'll be wowed by the translucentness They'll be swept off to the beach, they won't even know Alright, I'm just layering four pieces of ribbon on here Actually, I'm going to use a fifth one Because I feel like this one accents it well I'm going to attach it with a zip tie See what we got Alright, looking good There you go So all of our little hangers come with these little hanging holes We did a little custom job on those for this particular one Because of the resin But this is how we do it We pull our little bows through, our little ribbon through there Tie a little knot on each side And we'll come back and attach our bows You ready? Yeah Alright, what side are we going on? Yeah, that side Alright Get that zip tie Hold it like a champ Turn it nice and tight Straighten out our little ribbons I think it's a one time door hanger This is not a take it to the farmers market kind of project This took a little bit longer Than you can produce for a weekly farmers market But for this resin challenge I think this represents our style perfectly We have this store around in our store We make this every week for the summer And I think it's a great representation of what you can do with resin And still represent our style It definitely meets the criteria It's more than 25% resin It's hanging And I think it's a contender Yeah, it's pretty excited about it It's cute I can't wait to get it out in the sun I'm so glad we were able to get it off that board Oh, yes It was a little touch and go for a minute I was a little panicked Big thank you to all of our patrons These guys make all of this possible We love you guys Thank you so much We love interacting with our patrons Yes, if you're out there and you join us on Patreon I got a bunch of you guys out there That never say anything So jump in there Say hello Chit chat with us Give us your opinion You will vote in the polls And we do love that That's very helpful But you can get out there And let us hear your voice We love to see you guys Don't just lurk around waiting for the free files That's what we do All right, we are about out of time So if you're not going to join us for the patron after show We will see you next week We'll do it, build it and make it again Oh, yeah, here's the other one Here's the other version Oh, great, balance that one Yeah, I'll balance this one This is the one we own for our store We don't offer the resident one Wait, I want a bat Gotta make it official Gotta make it official Yeah, I slipped it over What's that one?
