 Quick, Rebecca, say hi. Hi. It's Wednesday at 1 o'clock. I'm here with Hannah and Jeff. Hi. And me and Jeff have microphones and Hannah doesn't yet. So if the audio is good, let us know. If it's not, we'll try and fix it. We have a lot to do today. Thank you for coming out. If you have any questions, let us know. And why don't we start by going through what we're going to do today. Bada boom. Yeah. I hope you're all doing well wherever you are in the world during these COVID times. Oh, and actually give us a thumbs up on the audio if people can confirm that it's all sounding good. So here's some things we're going to do today. The first thing is we had questions about this hard up here. So I'll quickly show you how this was made. This is Josie Lewis, J-O-S-I-E-L-E-W-I-S. She came over and she made this with us and gave it to us. Hey, Andrea, Zach and John N. Cool. Hi, Mom. Hope you're doing well. Thanks for joining. Yeah, this piece is awesome. Go on. Sorry, Dave. So we'll show how to do that. Thanks, John. And... Yeah, it's pretty wicked, eh, Marilyn? Hello, Jules from White Rock, BC. So how that was done with one of these molds and it's just an ice mold off of Amazon. So it's like hexagon silicone mold. So we'll be filling this up. And so of course we have the disposable little cups to mix up different colors in. Hey, Lauren Pickering. Cool. Hey, Pickering. Neighbors. Yeah, I'm from Ajax. It's the heart of Mosaic, John's asking. Yeah, I guess you would call it the Mosaic, yeah. You call it the Mosaic. Made out of all these little tiles that then we resin them all together. So this is interesting. Look at, Hannah's been playing with putting butterflies in resin. And the butterflies all got shipped with their wings closed. So she's been getting their wings open very carefully so the wings don't snap. So we'll have lots of stuff on butterfly casting to share with you soon. Yeah. But that's not today. Not today. We're going to fix this lamp. Or this isn't a lamp. This is a telescope. I found this at an antique show. Back when you could go to those. And it broke. So I'm just going to fix it with our resin because our resin is at its heart. It's an industrial adhesive. Angela says hi. Hi, Angela. I'm going to have a sip of coffee. Well, where's my coffee? Here it is. Okay. Let's see how much delight. Take a deep breath. We don't need to rush this. I always feel like we have to rush this. So if you have any questions, you can interrupt and we won't rush today. Okay. No rushing. Hannah, you're in charge of making sure that we do not rush and get out of hands. Okay. All right. Good afternoon. Della, Cheryl, Laura, everybody, Charri. Nate, hi everyone. So we're just going over what we're going to do today and then we're going to start doing it. So the next thing we were doing is we were experimenting with these. So these trinket dishes, their mold is matte. So it gives you a matte finish. And then we poured art resin over top to get it shiny again and it worked. But I'm just going on this one. I want to paint the inside this dark blue and then coat the outside and just kind of finish it up. And I'll actually take it home and use it. I'll put something in there. Coins. Yeah. Maybe I'll put coins in there. I don't use coins. No. No, no. I'm going to ask everybody to do debit cards. Yeah. What do you do with change when you're stuck with change? I give it to my daughter and she puts in her piggy bank. Anna, can you paint the inside of this color? Please and thank you. So great. Angela just wrote hot with exclamation points. Yeah. I don't know. What? Oh, we're talking about temperatures. Okay. Sorry, buddy. I'm looking forward to the butterfly casting. Yeah. I found a deceased monarch butterfly on the ground a few years ago and I've been saving it for a resin project ever since. Yeah, cool. Well, we've been doing, well, sorry, Hannah has been doing lots of experimenting research. We have lots of samples and we're just trying to figure out all the little details. But we'll share that with you. Oh, someone named Rebecca Zack said you are hot. Oh, thanks, honey. I'm not supposed to call her honey. No. She said I sound like my dad. Oh, awkward. Anyways, my 10-year anniversary. I still don't know what to do. It's coming up in a couple of weeks. No hot air balloon? She doesn't want a hot air balloon. Anyways, if you have any ideas about what to do for 10-year anniversaries, please post them in the comments below. Preferably something that you can just order online. What about a river table? Give my wife a river table? Or a river lamp? Okay, so we're working on lamps where this is all going to be resin. This is all going to be wood. And Hannah's been buying some different LED lights. And so we're going to be doing that. Today we're just going to finish sealing this and getting rid of all the loose pieces so that when we pour our casting resin, they'll be perfectly clear and there won't be any floaters. So we're getting close with that one. The next thing is, we're doing a lot of really neat stuff with mold making material. For example, we'll pour this one today, but it was just a strawberry we put in there. Can we see that? This is just half of a strawberry, but we have some really cool final ones. Oh, wow. Look at the detail on the actual... Yeah, and we've got pears and bananas and apples, but it's just been a really neat thing. So, with mold making, we're just getting into the basics here. There's two different main types of molds. There's something called a one-part mold and then there's something called a two-part mold. And they're both kind of their own art form. So we're going to be... we have a one-part mold, which is anything that has a flat surface. This is a diamond that just got poured over top. And you can pop it out and just fill it again. And as long as you have a flat top, you're fine. That's the easiest. And then the two-part mold, it all depends on the object. But we'll be getting deeper and deeper into two-part mold making. But that's when there's no flat side. Oh, so that's the strawberry right there. Yeah, and so the thing with two-part molds is you always have to consider the path, the hole for where your final material, your resin, is getting poured into. So you have to cast it with that in mind, right? Why is that? Oh, for pouring the actual... Because you have to be able to close your mold. And we'll go through that today and then pour, get it on the inside somehow, right? So we'll do that today. We've been experimenting with surfaces. We did glass and saw that art resin stuck to glass, no problem. And art resin sticks to metal, no problem. And the reason that is is because when you look like on a metal that's uncoated, when you look deep down, like with a microscope, you'll find that it actually has pores is what they were called. Metal has pores. You can't really see them. But that means that even if it feels like a really smooth resin, or sorry, a really smooth metal that isn't sealed, the art resin will stick to it very well. So these are aluminum panels with alcohol ink on them. And we're going to resin two of these. One of them, we're going to just leave the bottom normal and we'll have to sand off drips. The other one, I want to rub some silicone oil on the bottom and then hope that nothing sticks to it and then clean the oil up at the end. Whoa, we're doing a lot today. Oh man, holy smokes. Now this one's fun. This is, so this is the mold made out of a really strong plastic that will pop right off. We have this piece of wood from Jasmine. Thanks to Jasmine for that. And this is all a casting resin that we did last week. I'm a bit low. I didn't quite use enough material. Or this wood potentially floated up. Could be something, maybe the wood floated. We didn't seal this wood because I wanted to save a step. And that was a bad idea. You should always seal your wood. There's lots of bubbles, tiny little bubbles along the edge of where the wood in the resin met because the wood's doing some degassing and still some liquid in there. And so that's creating bubbles that aren't popping. So you always want to seal your wood. But I'm going to try and fix this one by, I'm going to sand this down all of it and then I'm going to pour a thin coat of, I'm going to try and make this exact color wood and a thin coat of that and then that will be the bottom of this jacuzzi board. That makes sense, yeah. So I think that might hide the bubbles a bit. So we're doing that and then we'll fill up this. Do we know if our resin sticks to plexiglass? It doesn't stick to plexiglass. That's a good one. We could do that. Actually, I see people making molds of the plexiglass and it will pop off. So yeah, I know it doesn't. There you go. Yeah. It definitely doesn't stick to plexiglass. So then this, maybe a frosted plexiglass. So this is our experimental pyramid. I'm just going to put salt in it because we have salt here. Just to see what happens when you put salt in resin. And then last, this is, so my son Xavier used to call porcupines, porcupineapples. He said pineapple, porcupine, porcupineapple. And I thought that was great. So I drew a sketch of it and then the website budzies.com. This video is brought to you from Budzies. Brought to you by budzies.com. And look what they did. So I got this, the porcupineapple. So you sent them the sketch that you made and they made that? Yeah, yeah. And it took along like a couple months. But isn't that cool? That's amazing. Yeah. All right, everybody, look out for Saturday Night Cartoons starring the porcupineapple. It's really clever. Come up with other names, guys. Everybody send in your other names. Porcupineapples and... I don't know. I don't know. Pairs, grapes. We'll have to... We'll have to put our... Think about it. Okay, so let's start. So, here's what we'll do. So, Hannah, can we mix up... Why don't we make an art resin side and then a casting resin side? So we're gonna fill these up and they will do a bunch of colors to show how to make some sort of mosaic like this heart here. Orangeutane. Orangeutane. No, that's terrible. Did you come up with that? Yeah, I'm trying to think too much here. I was trying to put a raptor and a kangaroo together. A raptor and a kangaroo? Yeah. Because both like their skeletons look similar. Wait, hold on. A raptor and a kangaroo? Yeah. But that's not... There's no fruit. But I just think that their skeletons look the same. So I'm trying to teach my kids that a lot of raptors are actually just a kangaroo. Just to mess with them. So it's just a descendant from the raptors. So there are dinosaurs living amongst us. Yeah, kangaroos are basically dinosaurs. There it is. Well, what about chickens? Chickens are dinosaurs, yeah. They have an S-shaped neck. And what else? That's the main reason. All right. Okay. So we're going to be coating this in... We'll do this in art resin too. Let's see how much art resin we'll need. We're going to be putting a bit more in here. Oh, and they walk on their toes. So they're dinosaurs according to Rebecca. Oh, and they walk on their toes. That's crazy. So we're learning so much today. So for this one, we're going to be pulling from... So again, if you go to art resin dot com slash mixing, I should write that on here. I'm going to get a marker and write that on here. I should put it on the front of the book. So it's this free color mixing guide. Yeah. And the blue is in there now too? Blue should be in there, unless this is an old one. If you go to art resin dot com slash mixing. Boom. You can get this one. So I'll put it on the cover. Art resin dot com slash mixing. We don't even ask for your email. You can just have it. Boom. Yeah. What else? Okay. So we're going to be pulling from this one neutrals. Okay. To try and come up with that one. All right. So where's neutrals? So this kind of gives us the basic formula. We're following that. So art resin, how much do we need? Are you putting art resin in there? Yeah, we're going to put art resin here too. Yeah, maybe like throw that whole thing up. Like do two cups and two cups. That'll be 10s. There she is. Okay. So we got this cool mold. We're just trying out all different molds to find the best ones. And this one's pretty cool. We'll do a test today. Yeah. It's really solid. We're going to put it in a ridge here. Anyways, we're going to fill that up with the casting resin. Are you going to put an object in there? No, I think we'll just leave it clear. Just to test it all out. Not cool. I mean we could put an object in there. What would we put? Well, we've been doing flowers in the circles. Maybe we'll do clear like you just said. I'll grab a beetle. We'll put a beetle in there. Oh, we have a dead fish. Paperweight mold, Rebecca's saying. Paperweight mold. Oh, that's what it is. That's what it is, I guess. Yeah, yeah. Because we've got the flap on them. There you go. Okay. Just put a beetle in there. That'll be cool. And here it is. So, Hannah, pop quiz. How many minutes should you stir art resin for? Three. Night. Was there a question on the end of that? Hi, Dina. Okay. So, here we're in Ontario, Canada. And we're in what they're calling phase three of this COVID thing. You can go to restaurants and stuff. It's nice. Yeah. What are the names? Was it 111? 111 cases yesterday. That's what I read. In all of Canada? That's Ontario. Ontario. But I think that's getting there. I mean, if we can get to the double digits. Yeah. Well, art resins made in Texas. Yep. And all my goodness, the problems. Everything has a problem right now. Oh my goodness. Shipping Amazon. It's crazy. But we titled this video ideas, like creative ideas for you. And I thought that was just the best title. What do you think, Jeff? Absolutely. That's the greatest title. But what we're doing here is we're just trying out different art materials. And we're just trying them. And I find that to be really exciting. And every week I kind of look forward to, like, what are we going to... Like, you don't know what you're going to do, but you just have stuff and you make stuff and you feel good. And then you have in the back of your mind, you're solving problems. Like, how do I make a butterfly in resin, you know? Hello, Foley Alabama. She is mixing resin without a mask. Is it okay to use without a mask? Good question. So art resin has no VOCs and no solvents in it. So as long as you have what they call a ventilated area, as long as you're not in the small, tight closet, you're okay. And so for that reason we're able to sell it into education so they can use it in classrooms and stuff. So that is why art resin is one of the more expensive products. But it's because we want it to be perfectly clear. And so that meant buying the most expensive of every ingredient and then we wanted it to be safe. So that meant not adding anything into it to make the product cheaper. It's very easy to make an epoxy resin cheaper. But then you sacrifice safety and you can sacrifice, like, long-term clarity. So, yes, we've been using no respirator for our entire time since we made sure that we were making no VOC, no solvent epoxy resin. And we have lots of information online and you can ask lots of questions. Just to double back on what you said, though, that's so true, the good thing about it. Just even the example you were saying with the pyramid mold or just putting salt in here, why not? Let's experiment and see what happens with our resin. It might be a fail, but you know what? Now we know. Maybe it's going to be a cool effect. Who knows? Okay, so we're going to fail. We have to prepare this two-part mold of a strawberry. So, Hannah, can you do that? You're kind of like the expert right now. So, Hannah's just going to tape this back together, basically, because some other resin's going to kind of seep in between here, but you just don't want it spilling out. And then pull that. And that's enough for today. We'll do this one another time. What's that one? This is a skull. Oh, right, nice. It's a fancy skull, but that will be a bit more work. We've got lots to do. So, I'm going to do two of these. We'll put them up on stands. We'll coat them in art resin. Oh, and we're fixing this telescope. Yeah, sweet. Hello, Dale Hawkins. Hey, Dale, welcome. Dale Hawkins. Good name. We're just trying to move slower this week. There's no rush. That's it. But we've got a lot to do. But once we get all set up, it'll go relatively fast. It's mostly setting up and prepping. So, I'm looking for stands and a foam brush. Clear stands? Like resin stands, you know? Oh, resin stands. Oh, sorry. I don't know where any are. Here we are. Good ones. I need six of them. One more. Six. Six. Please and thank you, Jeff. So, we're getting a puppy on Saturday. What? And we'll bring the puppy in next week. Oh, nice. Really? Yeah. Next Wednesday, you'll have him here? Next Wednesday, her. It's going to be her, yeah. Is your kid's name yet? No, we're waiting on meeting the puppy and stuff. But Rebecca has the name. It's like a very on-the-nose name. Some golden retrievers. Rebecca is not happy that you blew the surprise. Something golden. Oh, yeah. My mom. My mom's watching. We weren't telling her. I'm getting a dog, mom. She tells me not to. She says, we're too busy. Come on. You need to get a dog, too. Ridiculous. Okay. So, anyways, I'm going to flip this over. This one, what I'll do is I'm going to... What am I doing? I'm just walking around. So we're putting stands. We're going to resin these guys. Yeah, I'm going to put an S on this one. What do you mean? Oh, okay. S. So we know that this is the one with silicon on oil. Okay. And I'm hoping that will just repel the resin so there'll be no drops on the bottom. Okay. But I don't want to get any of this oil on anything else. Right. Because silicon oil repels resin. Right. Which is why it's very strange that people are mixing it into their resin. Well, I guess that creates a lot of the cells, right? Yeah. Yeah, but it just doesn't make sense for the long term. Okay. What am I looking for? I'm looking for a brush. Rebecca likes your bracelets. Thank you. Zoe made this for me. She said you can make it bigger or smaller. It's made out of pipe cleaner. She didn't know what color I liked, so she went with green. What's your favorite color? Blue. And you? I'm... I don't know. I'm still figuring it out. Really? I know what yours is. Yellow. That's Rebecca's favorite color, too. It's the best one. Hello, Carolyn Montreal. Hey, Carolyn Montreal. You're doing well. How about an octopine for your critter, which is a derivative of some amino acids? Whoa, Dale. Throw in a big one. What was it again? Octo... An octopine. Octopine. I gotta think about that. Octopus. What's some other fruits? What's that one with all the red... A spiky octopus? Dragon fruit? No. What's the one where you pull the little red seeds out all the time? Pomegranate. Pomegranate. Come on. Okay, palm. Is there another animal that ends in palm? Or... Hey, Brandy Burger. Brandy Burger. Brandy Burger. Pomegranate. Pomegranate. Pomegranate. Pomegranate. Isn't there a dog at palm? Yeah. There's something there. Okay, so that's completely crushed with silicone oil. Okay. And now we're just gonna pour resin on both of these. So the goal is to find it then, yeah. So when we peel off the resin next week, we'll know if these ones come off easily. Yeah. With the silicone versus ones that are just on the middle. Okay. And this one's gonna... Pomeranian. I'm probably gonna have to sand the bottom. A Pomeranian. So a... It doesn't work though. Can't end and start. Okay. How are we doing here? Sorry. Is that everything? We have everything? Everything we need? So this is painted. This is done. Okay. So Hannah's taped this two-part mold up of the strawberries. So we're gonna... Let's mix up some casting resin. Like maybe just do like half of that. Or even less. One and a half. Do you want... One and a half? Yeah. One and a half total. All right. Okay. So that's done. So to get these ones ready. Yes, John. We could use painter's tape. Absolutely. That is definitely a tip that we've used. For the bottoms. But I think Dave's just experimenting to try different things. Well, the problem with this one. Well, the best stuff I've found is normal packing tape. And that was thanks to someone that was watching. And that's why I'm wearing these cotton gloves because of someone that was watching. So actually that was a question from last week in the comments. Where do you get these cotton gloves? And honestly, it just was Amazon. I typed in reusable cotton gloves. Or disposable cotton gloves. Disposable white cotton gloves. It was that easy. That's it, eh? Amazon, it brings it right to you. There you go. Okay. And then now you're doing your doubling up just so you can change up the gloves. At first I thought this was a crazy waste of gloves. But when you're like doing resin work somewhere in the heat. Like it's a pain in the butt. So this is that. I actually really like this. Okay. Laura says, yes, watching you experiment is much cheaper than me trying. Yeah. Yeah. And if you want me to try anything, we can get it and figure it out. Essential oils. She wants us to experiment with. Like mix essential oil into resin. I don't know. Maybe I guess. Okay. Let's do that right now. We'll put it in here with salt. Rebecca, can you get some essential oils? Tracy probably has some in her desk. Jessica got like some for Christmas last year. She has some sitting there. Right next to her granola. And already lab wants us to resin over old lace. Oh, that's cool. Okay. I'll write that down. So what were those things? Essential oils. Essential oils and old lace. Essential oils. Why don't we, why don't we make like a block of resin in it with the essential oil and mix it up and then see if like you can have this object that smells or something. Whoa. Essential oils and what was the other one? Old lace. Old lace. I'll ask my grandma to knit me something. Oh, we want it old. Here comes the oil. See it. Look at that right in the desk. Yeah, Tracy. Yeah. It was like two years ago. Everyone got an oil diffuser for Christmas. Nice. It was a big, yeah. Okay. That's a great idea. Imagine if this worked. It would revolutionize everything basically. Oh, the world would change. That's a nice shape for a smelling object. Whoa. A tombstone. It might end up smelling like that. A hexagon shape. Sure. Okay. That's cool. So this is lemon actually. So we're going to get crazy and we're going to, we'll do a, we'll do like different potencies of essential oil and label them. All right. Laura is jumping up and down. Laura, sit down. Yep. We don't want to get hurt. That's it. Take some deep breaths. We're excited too. Yeah. Sorry. Excuse me. Phone call is coming in. Oh, we're live. So hopefully that didn't cut out. Anyways. Okay. So I'm just going to figure out how to hold this on here. I'll probably, I'll just use some tape. Excuse me, Hannah. I'm going to use just a, just a plain old masking tape. Yeah. Essentially our resin is like the strongest glue, right? And I got the perfect spot in, in our house to just put this, you know, all this sit there as a nice little object, right? Reminding us to always reach for the stars. My kids always say they love mommy more than all the stars in the sky. Really? Yeah. Lane. Right. We're a daddy. I'm not a daddy. Yeah. Okay. So how to do this without getting too filthy? No. Oh, everything's so filthy. Oh, you could get Rebecca a star. For what? For your anniversary. Like a real star. Oh yeah. You got like a certificate. Yeah. No, I think that's done too much. It had its time. It had its time. Good idea though. Still searching. That is a good idea. For 10 years married. I'm looking, what am I even looking for? This. Nice brandy. That's good. Glad you're into the resin. Yeah. It is fun. Okay. So I'm just doing this with a obstacle stick. Rebecca's not into the star anyways. It's not happening. This is really good. I have my wife on this. So she can kind of let me know if I'm on the right track. What day is the anniversary? Oh, I don't know. Next? I don't know. August. Is it not 13th is it? No. I have no clue. I just know it's coming up. Okay. So let's get started. We're resigning our first object. Okay. Which is this telescope. And how am I going to do this? Hannah, can I hold this and you just tape the heck out of it? Please? Let's use this tape and just like over the top in both directions. Sorry, Jules. I know we cut it once but I don't think we've cut it again. I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure we're still rolling here. Here we go. So just right now they're taping it on just to keep it in place while the resin will cure and harden and keep it on there nice and solid. Yeah. I've been meaning to do this for so long. So would you recommend that this one you could take off after 24 hours or would you leave it for the 72? No, I'd just take it off tomorrow. Yeah. It'll be fine. It'll be fine. I think after the 24 hours you're like 99% or more cured and then it continues that little bit for the next five to seven days even something. Okay. So that's one thing then. I'm going to check stuff off of that checklist. That's what lists are for, right? To check them off? Yeah. Okay. So we fixed our telescope. Trinket dish. We painted it inside. Coat again. Coat wood. Okay. We're coating the wood. Mold-making material. Aluminum metal. Sand to the board. Okay. We should sand that stuff. In the pyramid we got a sign. We talked about porcupine apple and we had, what was the one? Something pine? An octopine? Octopine. What's up there? So it's an octopus mixed with a... I don't know. It just sounds cool. Hannah, could you put a little bit in each of these and we'll just do a bunch of different colors? And we'll make these hexagons and then next week we'll show you how we attach them together. And again, this is something that Josie Lewis came up with. So all credit to her. She's a wonderful friend. She's a wonderful friend. And she's very creative. What's the sand between resin layers if you're doing a flat art piece or can you do a second layer without sanding? Ooh, good question. I would always sand. I've had pieces where I didn't sand. Well, I've had one piece where I didn't sand and then somehow through like handling it, it's separate, peeled away from each other. That only happened once to me, but I always sand because of that. Even like, watch what we're going to do. Like, I'll show you what's enough sanding. It's not much extra work. Here's all you have to do. We've got a little bit of sandpaper and I'm just going to, like, that's it. That's it. That's enough. There's lots of stuff for it to grab onto there. And I mean, that's enough dust really. It's all going to disappear when you put the next coat of resin on it. So I'm going to do the same thing. Perfect timing for that question. Yes, always sand. I'm just going to scuff all this off too. Because we're going to mix up. You know, Laura, that's the hard part. Like, porcupine apple works so well because it leads to each other. It leads to each other. That's the hard thing to get. I know. I got porcupineapple.com. Thank God. Nailed it. I know. You could, in theory though, you could, yes, do a layer after three to four hours. Oh yes, good point. Good point, Jeff. Thank you. Jeff's totally right. If you wait two to four hours when the resin is still like a gel, then you pour then, then the layers will fuse together enough. So you can do that, which is better than waiting the whole day. So that's roughed up enough too. All right. Hannah, do you want to pick some colors out and mix, just mix up a bunch of different things? So this is our colored drawer. Yeah. I just come up with some sort of palette with when they're all put together. It'll be, it'll look nice together, you know. We could make like a little, we'll make, well, do enough. We'll make like a little coaster out of all these or something. Then we can coat the whole thing. And there you go. I would guess online on Amazon for the Hexagon mold. Yes, exactly. Hexagon silicone mold. Just type that in. And you'll find there's like 20 options. Okay. Ready? Hold on, I'm coming. Let me get a better shot. I'm going to get a good pour shot. Which one are you going at? I'll go here first. So again, this is alcohol ink on aluminum. And the resin is something nice with the aluminum. It just adds another like extra glow to it. When there's light reflects off of it underneath the resin. So if you're doing like this type of stuff, you want some of the best parts or where you have to empty, right? The problem is Rebecca did these because she was experimenting. And Rebecca said it's hard because it's so easy to just cover the whole thing and make a mess. Like if you want to be good like this, I think the trick is to just do very little. Like and you're done. Right? Okay, so I'm going to spread or spread this out. Nice. The colors are really. Yeah, it's gorgeous. And you can even see like at the edge how it's kind of domed there. So this one, I'm going to try and do that. I'm going to be a bit more careful with this one and just push it to the edge and try and make it dome. So that we don't have much sanding to do on the other side. That makes sense. Hannah, what color are you thinking? What's like, what's in this year? I'm starting with the yellow. Let me guess, yellow. Oh yes, yellow. That's her color. I knew it. Surface tension is your friend, Dave. This is Rebecca. Surface tension is your friend. What's that mean? I suppose she's referring to something we're talking about and I don't know. Is that a hint about wanting to get her for 10 years? Oh yeah. I just think I got to get diamond earrings. What? What do you think? Rebecca? Rebecca, if you can just comment below. Diamond earrings for a 10 year anniversary. Let us know. Yeah, I'm sure she'll say no. No. Yes, please. Okay, there you go. Look at that. That's beautiful. I'm still going to torch it even though I don't think we have to. Oh, the surface tension of the resin allows you to dome without going off. Oh, thank you, Miss Ph.D. Rebecca has a Ph.D. Did you know that? We do now. So she pulls out this stuff. Okay, ready? So we're going to put some salt here. Here we go. Just in the big pile, like that. So after you've scratched the surface, this is what we call pouring salt in the wounds. Do you have it there? Anybody? Nothing? Okay. So we're going to use this casting resin and this is much thinner like water. Thank you, Rebecca. And we're going to pour this right into the salt. Oh, look at that. This is cool. Everyone's doing it, Joe. Thank you, Cindy. Thank you, YFL Art. See, people are laughing at the jokes. We're trying. Dad humor never fails. All right. What is happening? That looks like a skull from this view. Oh, that was cool for a second. So I didn't know if it would dissolve or stay there. Agenine. Okay. So, hmm, these ones we were going to mix up some scent, right? We're going to make lemon scented resin and see if that works. Look at the big bubbles that are coming too. Such a good idea. So what was that? Oh, yeah. We're going to do the essential oils here. Yeah. So how are you going to do a premix or? Yeah, I'm going to premix it all up. Okay. And then we're going to do the secondary. Whoever thought of this. Like this is, I'm going to do four different, I'm going to do four different strengths. Oh, wow. You're really going at it. Okay. Cool. Yeah. Do you want shock glasses? No. Okay. All right. So we're just going to pour. Oh, this is a casting resin. Do I need this for anything? Oh, I need all this. Oh, that's it. Yeah, there's a resin. Okay. So we're going to go and we want to test this ball. Can you fill this up or whenever you're done that? Okay. Just don't let me forget. No, with thick. Thanks, Stephanie. With thick cast. I'm just going to do that right now. Yep. Do you think I should tape around the edge? I would, yes. Afterwards? Yeah. I think. Well, you know what? I mean, well, we can pour it and see. Okay. Oh, no, we should. Oh, let's pour it and see because that's the easiest way. Okay. We always want to find the easiest way to do anything. But why? Why do it the hard way? So anybody just join us? This is a two-part sphere. It's like a paperweight, but it breaks in the middle to peel it apart. So we're deciding if there's going to be a leak in the middle or not. Thanks, Nancy. Nancy's complimenting you today. Say you are so creative. Oh, thanks, Nancy. I couldn't do it without you, Nancy. I couldn't do it. I'd just be talking into a phone to no one. There you go. Yeah. Oh, it's really cool doing this every week. Nancy is laughing out loud. Oh, good. Yeah, I was driving into this morning and saying, okay, what are we going to do? And I'm like, oh, we can do this and this. And I was excited and happy to have this. So thanks for watching. A lovely lady named Andrew Zaks. What a great video, entertaining and educational. Oh, mom. Shucks. Stephanie's never missing these ever again because they're great and creative. Oh, good. Stephanie, yeah. And if you have anything that you want tested, just leave a comment. Let us know. Someone made a comment about the essential oils that probably won't work, but probably. Why won't it work? We're going to give it a shot. Yeah. Why won't it work? I don't know. Like, yeah. We'll find out. That's the best part. Okay. Maybe don't do as we do, but do what you love. Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm going overboard with the resin. I bought two gallons a month and a half ago and I'm almost finished with it. I'm going to start looking for a coupon or discount code or I'm going broke. Oh, no. No. Just sell all those brilliant things you're making. Yeah. Hello. Okay. Tecal Painter. So we have four different things. We do have a skull, Stephanie. A skull? Should we do the skull today? I don't know if we have any, we haven't poured enough probably, but. We could mix more. We could do it. I want to do it. Or we could put it on the list next week. Let's see how we go here. Oh, no. Oh, I need more. Is that that? Okay. Thank you. Okay. Look at that. Delicious, hey? So that's just some yellow. So that's a. You should add some. That's an oil based colorant too. If you add it in white to make it more opaque, then you can have like a little bit of white and more and then more and then more to go along with the more. Okay. So we can tell. Okay. So we can tell. It'll be like a sign. Exactly. And then more. And the most. A lot. Okay. Okay. Okay. So let's see how fast this comes out or slow. Whoa. Whoa. That was public. That was, no, I was about 10. It came out a lot. 10. Okay. So we're under 15 or 20 in the next one. Oh, 20. Oh, that smells so good. That's a lot. It does smell nice. So we got 10, 20, 30, 31. Whoa. 8, 10. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Here we go. 20. No, I know. Oh, yeah. I think so. Yeah. That's more than 40. Oh, for sure. Okay. Okay. I'm going to get a bunch of little popsicle sticks for stirring. In the meantime, what else can we do? So this is ready to pour. This is ready to pour. We're going to make a diamond in here and we're going to put some ink sinker in there to make the diamond look like, you know, and then what's this one? The strawberry. Why don't we put a, we'll make a red strawberry. Oh, yeah. Okay. And we have, that's all the casting doesn't mean anything. Well, is this, did this, so we got to top this up too, I think. Is it leaking? No, but it's just like it's not right to the, do you want to go right to the top, like to the top of the hole? Cause it does always, we found that it does. Well, Rebecca wants to leave a little gap so it has a flat bottom so it can sit. We're not going to make a curve. Does that have a natural flat bottom? I think it's perfectly right. Oh, okay. So we'll just leave it like that. Okay. Okay. So I went to your popsicle sticks, got distracted. Sorry? Forgot. Back to the sticks. Okay. There we go. So. We're, we're live again. I think we just had, Dave's very popular because a lot of calls. My phone calls, yeah. Awesome. I'm excited. Okay. What do we got? First, let me just visit here for a second. Look at you. Look at that color. What do you got there? What did you mix in there? So we got some metallic gold there. Is that pearl? Yeah. Nice. Yellow. Someone just fell off their chair upstairs. That's okay. Happens all the time. Dave's got it mixed up. You can't really say this. They all look the same. That doesn't work at all. Actually, yeah. This one looks the latest. Yeah. That's the latest. Here we go. So this is neon, resonant and essential oil. Okay. Let me do it half here. One, two, three, four. Okay. I'll do two of each. Two. So this is the number of twos. We got to remember. Yeah. I'll label them all. So this is 20. Fulte. And oh, look at that. Nice. Okay. This is fun. And then 40, the big one. Yeah. Okay. We got lots left. I'm going in for the smell test. Oh yeah. Oh, I smell it, man. You can smell it. Oh, yeah. It's very strong. Okay. I'm going to pour. Hannah, how did you get the resonant into the strawberry mold? Just very carefully. I don't remember. Or is there a funnel or something? I think I tried pouring it. What brand is the EO? What's the EO? Oh, essential oil. We did aroma force. Aroma force, lemon, flavor, scent, whatever. All right, Dave's doing a gentle pour. This is for the strawberry. Any problem, Laura? That'd be really neat if it worked. Oh, I wanted it red. Oh. Okay, I'm going to pour it out. Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't catch it before you poured it. No, no. Thanks for catching it. Thank you. No big call. You can then tape it and I'll tape it back if that helps. That'll be fine. This is good stuff. How often do you get to see this kind of stuff? Okay. So what did I do with that extra yellow, too? Well, we got our piece over here. Yeah, let's put it on there. Oh, we'll make some little discs. Oh, yeah. Okay. You want to fill those up? Sure. Okay. Fill that up and I'm going to mix up some red. Okay. One of these. I don't know. So I don't need very much for this little strawberry. I'm going to add, do I want it to be brighter? Or that's a nice strawberry, right? It's pretty good. I'm just going to attach a white to make it more opaque. I don't want it to be too bright. You know, we've done this before. Like, if you run this up the sides, you can just see how opaque it is. Yeah, so if you want more opaque, you add some white. Does that look like a strawberry? What do you think? I don't think that's so pink. So how do I make it not so pink? I think that's pretty good, though. What? A touch of green? Oh, yeah. Maybe. Here, I'll take a tiny bit from your thing. I remember hearing that on... Black. Laura says black. Black? Okay. Is that black or what's that? That's dark blue. Yeah, everybody's saying I add black. Wow. I'm not good at this color mixing theory stuff. I know the basics, but that's why I like the... Yeah, Stephanie, we're here every Wednesday at one o'clock. So come. Yeah, every Wednesday at one o'clock. She's got a pond, though. Oh, that's tough to beat the pond, but hey. What do you mean? I know she says she's usually outside by her pond or whatever, but she doesn't want to miss these. Yeah, come every Wednesday at one o'clock, join us, and send us a picture of the pond. Yeah, you need to... Just a touch of black. Just a touch. You need to get Wi-Fi out of your pond. Oh, yeah. So you just can be connected everywhere. Found it. It's clogged up. Just a little. Oh, too much. I ruined it. I ruined it. I went and ruined it. We're going to mix... I'm going to try and scoop up some black, because I went and ruined it. What a disaster. How embarrassing. Koi pond. Cool. All right, there. That's kind of cool. I guess. Salt, black resin tint. Okay. All right. Here it goes. Did you mix it? Ah, no. I thought it would be needed for maybe marbled a bit, too. Okay, sure. It's going to be a funky stripper. And how did you do this? Did you use your dropper? Yeah, I think I poured it for... I think I did that for a little bit. The dropper might be a good idea, eh? Yeah. It takes a while, but it works. No, there's a lot to go in there. Yeah, the dropper is the way to go. Sounds disgusting, though. My children would be just giggling away. Oh, you're filling up these guys? Yes. Oh, David, you're thinking what you're going to make a coaster with this? Yeah, sweet. We'll put them, arrange them and... Yeah, and then just resin it together? Resin them together, sand it down, do a final resin coat over the top and... Good question, Michael. How do you clean the dropper after done? Oh, you throw it in the garbage. It's a done deal, I think, yeah. Or I guess you could squeeze up alcohol. I think some of them have been used and we've just been using them again. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah? Okay. I was squeezing from the top all the way down to the bottom. Just squeeze everything out and you can use it again? Yeah. Oh, yeah, cool. You can try it. You can try squeezing as much as possible. And David was also saying maybe you can throw some alcohol in there. Yeah, like squeeze up alcohol, shake it, spin it out. Yeah. Otherwise, these things are... We've got, I think, a giant pack of them for pretty cheap, right there. I think they're on Amazon. Yeah. More stuff on Amazon. I think they're on Amazon, eh? I feel like I'm a surgeon. Le-mon-ki. Le-mon-ki? Lemon. Lemon-mon-ki? Oh, that's good. Le-mon-ki? Sounds like French, so it's like Le-mon-ki. Yeah. There we go. Le-mon-ki. Lemon-ki. You're bugging me the entire time. Hey, Louise. Was that yours you came up with, Jeff? I just came up with it, yeah. Oh, wow. This brain doesn't stop. I was just looking at the artwork. This is Rebecca's artwork, right, David? Yeah. Because these are really cool. So that's wall plaster on canvas. Wall plaster on canvas. Yeah, because you can see the... You scrape into the wall plaster. That's so cool. Rebecca used to just pump those out and then she had a couple of art shows. Cherry. Cherry is a thing. Cherry. Cherry. Thanks, Louise. It helps because pineapples and porcupines are both spiky, too. Oh, it's perfect. It's perfect. I know. It is. It's almost like one was named after the other afterwards. Someone was like, oh, that looks like a porcupine. Yeah, you're probably right. You're probably right. Yeah. It was too large. I think we have to make these porcupine apples a bit smaller. Too big? Yeah. And someone called it a hedgehog. Oh, yeah. I was like, yeah, I see your point. Spiky. I don't really like the smile either. It's not cute enough. We got to play with the shape of the head. Oh, it needs to be cuter? Oh, dude, that's totally cute at times. No. No, it's not cute enough, man. No? I don't know. We can do way cuter. Yeah? Oh, yeah. I guess if you were a porcupine apple, you'd be pretty happy. I think so. I don't know. Unless you're... Unless those lemon keys were always after you. Lemon key. Hey, Cass. Hey, Cass. Oh. Wow, this thing just keeps going. Oh, check over potentially in one of these bins here. Blow dryer? Yeah, I'm pretty sure I put them in the same one. See? Rebecca's got to do it here. We're experimenting with resin. We're doing colored resintents here. We're making little molds to create something like Josie Lewis made for us. It's hot. So like a... Yeah. What's it called? Like a montage? Oh. Oh, we heard a bang upstairs. Is that what it was? Oh, no. Maybe he needs a porcupine apple. Yeah. See if there's three and he's built his water and broke a glass. Okay. So what else are we doing here? Whoa, that's a dark strawberry. Yeah, I messed up. That's ripe strawberry. That's okay. Overripe. It's ready to go. So what else are we doing here? I was gonna... I got to change my gloves. Okay. Why don't I... Okay. So we don't have very much stuff left. So we're just gonna forget about that diamond for now. Okay. And we have this art resin. I'm gonna mix the color of this wood to finish off this jacuzzi board. All right. And I don't know if I have enough. So we're gonna find a kind of color. Ooh, yeah, that's pretty thin, right? Mm-hmm. Okay. So I'm gonna add this as neon yellow and white. So maybe this board will even smell. So I'm adding all this. We're gonna try and make a sand color. Oh, wow. And neon yellow and white are some of the... Yeah, I could call. ...factors. Yeah, because it's more neon green and pink and a lot of white. Do you want the basic one? I guess you wanna kind of go more towards the basic. Yeah, and I think with this wood, it's very yellow-y. So I'll be adding a lot of yellow. Okay. And neon pink and neon green. And white. Is that neon green? Yeah. Sweet. So we have some neon green here. Just do a little bit. And then we can always add these crazier colors. And then here's some neon pink. Nine or so. And white. More white. Okay. That's ink sinker. Yeah. So we made these big balls of white just because you do tend to go through a lot more white. Okay. Another stir stick. Good. So have we done everything? With this? Oh, we wanted to... Do you think you can maybe get a brush and try and coat with the rest of the stick? Just coat all the wood. So with this lamp that we're making, this one, it's very much an experiment. But we didn't finish pre-sealing all this wood just so that there's no reaction when we do the final coat and fill it all the way up. Then we're gonna have to take this to the table saw and we'll be just probably cutting this mold right off. Did you cut that right in there or fit right in there? It fit right in there. Oh no, I built it for this. I built this mold for this wood. Yeah. Okay. Thank you very much. So we just want to completely seal it so that the next coat won't react with the wood. So I'm mixing up sand. How long has this been? This is awesome. 55 minutes, 54 minutes. 54 minutes. Wow. You're gonna use that stir? Yeah. This is a lot. We always do so much stuff. This is actually, I think for like the last couple of weeks we've actually been on like half an hour. Oh, this is really pink. Oh boy. I don't like this at all. What do I do? We add more neon yellow. And green. And green. Oh my goodness. So what happened? We had too much pink in there, right? Too much pink. And I think too much white. But you know what? That's life. That's life. That's life. Yup. Sometimes there's just too much neon pink. And there's no going back either. There's no going back. So you just got to keep your stick on the ice. Right? That's right. Okay. Keep on. Keep it on. So we're just adding to this. This will give our painting a nice lemon scent. Oh. Which you'll want to do. Laura does not want us to point on the wood. Port on the wood, but I don't know. She doesn't want us to point on the wood? We're going to find out. No Laura, this is a really good idea. It's a really good idea. Trust me. There's still a couple more steps, but by the end you'll say, Oh wow. Cass says, In art there is no mistake. In train. As, I don't know what to say. Picasso? Not Picasso. No, I wouldn't know anything about that. John Madden? Well done. Pulling out a football reference. Well done. Yeah. As John Madden would say, You got to put the ball over here and put the ball. The ball? John Madden? Oh yeah, he has football. I thought it was hockey. Okay. Well, are we just going for it? No, I'm looking at the color. Okay. It's very peach. You know what? We've actually almost gotten to peachy news. So what do I do? You think more green? More green. We're still going to try for it. We're not giving up your people. Can I use this dark green? We're going to try and get that brown. I'm going to add some dark green. Oh, we're going for dark green. Yeah. Look at this. Those can go in the... Oh. It's still super peachy. Yeah, it's peachy. More green? Yeah. Yeah, more green. I don't know. Okay. More green. Fine. I'm going to overdo the green now, though. You know what? In one of each of these, I'm going to put a little green center and then put some ink sinker in it. Good. Oops. Wait. Shouldn't let me do stuff like this. Okay. That's cool. Okay. So that's just going to push, pull the green down into it just for fun. Okay. This is the last color I'm going to add and I'm just saying it's good enough. Look, I added too much green. Oh, man. What do I do now? Add more yellow? Add more pink? Enjoy your shamrock shake. Shamrock shake. Can I squeeze in here again, please? Okay, so we're adding more pink. Okay, that's looking great. Yeah, just keep coating it and coating it. It just sucks it up, hey? What's happening here? Pink. What's happening? Oh, you're coating that up nice. Now it's too much pink. Now we're back to pink. Oh, dude. You just got to do little dots. That's what everybody's saying on Line 2. You're squeezing too much. It's because I'm starting to rush again and this is what happens. I start to rush. Well, it's... I just think like it's a live video. You need to be entertaining. It's kind of like... What are you doing now? Making color. Oh, man. Oh, Lord. But in the end, it's going to be perfect. Okay, what about maybe some yellow? Maybe no. Also. Oh, Rebecca's saying add blue. Blue. Okay. Thanks, Rebecca. Now she's saying add blue like with exclamation points and all caps. Okay. So we better do it. Do we have any more silica sand? Yeah. Okay, great. Great. Yellow and red will give you orange. Here comes the blue. Couple drips. Very good. Okay. Controlled. Green is yellow and blue. We had to call it in-hand. You want straight blue. I don't know how to mix color. I just buy them all. Yeah, just buy them all. Yeah. They're getting there. Yeah, good. But who would have thought neon pink, green, neon yellow, and white would give you brown. And now even blue. Yeah, that doesn't mean... I guess when you just add all the colors together, you get brown. That is the thing. They always say like... Nor jasmine used to say that. Just it gets brown. Of course. How are we looking? Let's see. There we go, everybody. What are you thinking? It's good enough. Pour it on. I think, team? Pour it on. It's good enough. It's very sandy colored now. I'd say, yeah. Yeah. Are we just going for it? Yeah, we're going for it. Okay, this is scary. Oh, it's done. Whoa. Oh, beautiful. Rebecca wanted more blue. Well... We're going for it. I would have done more blue, too. You would have done more blue, too? Yeah. So let's add blue and we'll kind of swirl it around. No! It's okay. Just do it. It could look cool. No. No. We might need to do another layer. Butterscotch, yeah. Oh, we don't even have enough? Oh, man. Yeah, are we ever going to match that color? Yeah. I'm not going to have it. Chocolate milk, yeah. Kind of. Bailey's. Yes, that's it. Bailey's. Yes. All right. So one more point on this piece. Mm-hmm. I'll just show you that Hannah's been researching different lights and stuff. I filled this crack. And I think we're almost done. Hey. Oh, I want to coat the outside of this, too, just to bring the shine back. Mm-hmm. All right. All right. Yeah. See? Because resin takes on the texture of the mold. It takes on the texture of the mold that you use. So the mold was matte because the original object was matte. Does that make sense? Yep. So if I just want it to be shiny, I'm just going to do that. Let it sit. Call it a day. Okay. So this is done. Just leave the resin containers upside down. All these different colors. We'll put on our floor painting. That keeps evolving over time with all our scraps. We need to get more stuff near the edges here. White. White. Orange. More blue. We have this dark, terrible strawberry red. But the mold of the strawberry, we have one of the strawberries upstairs. It even made all the little green leaves on the strawberry. It's just so cool. I think it's on Tracy's desk. But I'm excited to do a gold pear. Is that something to do, right? Absolutely. Okay. Anything else we need to do here? This is filled. We're not doing the diamond. I wanted to put some silica sand on something. Tracy was saying that if you want to put resin on floors, one way to do it is you pour your epoxy on the floor and then you sprinkle silica sand on top of it. And it gives it a very nice texture. So do we have any resin left at all? So let's put it on that cutting board. Okay. No? All right, we'll just cover all of it. Get it all covered. Have we done everything we need to do? Two cantaloupe. Two cantaloupe? Two cantaloupe. Two cantaloupe. Sorry. Two cantaloupe. Yeah. When you have to picture the body as the shape of the cantaloupe and a two cantaloupe, you could put a big beak on a cantaloupe and then you can't fly because it's just so heavy. Yeah. And so it's kind of sad. Two cantaloupe. And so the monkey and porcupine apple. The monkey. Try to help him fly. Find his wings. Sorry. So I'm just going to start sprinkling silica sand over here. What is this? So what do you do? What is this doing? I don't know. Okay. I'm just experimenting with textures. Again, that's because Tracy said that if you do flooring, you sprinkle silica sand over top of it. I mean, so I just want to see what this feels like after. And I wanted to upset everyone that's watching. And you want to upset them? Yeah. Because they're like, don't put more on there. So I thought this was really... The only way we had textured television and everybody could feel it next week. Yeah. But we'll show it to you next week. There. Look at this. Be sure to ask for it. Don't mind us in case we forget, but we should be okay for that. Okay. We did it. Round of applause. Wow. What a day. Thanks for watching. Again, happy to have you here. It motivates us to come back to the studio and just do stuff. Every Wednesday at one o'clock. And if you have any comments or questions, put it below. And I hope you stay safe. And I found that making things is really helpful during this time. So just buy some materials you've never used before and play with them. Goodbye.
