 don't have the holder. I'm sorry about the detour. Sorry about it. Sorry about it. So, hope you guys are having a great day today. We're having a pretty Monday-E Monday, but I hope y'all are having a good one as well. And today, we're going to be going over an item that was sent, sorry for the extreme close-up. This item was sent to us, oh, this item was sent to us from this company, Resiners. I guess let me start over. Let me tell you what we're doing today. So, I am going to put water slide decals in some of my coasters, but I was sent this Resiners bubble remover to review for you guys. Full disclosure, I am not getting paid to show you guys about this, but they did send it to me for free to show you guys. So, you could scan this or you could follow the link I have in the description box. What this thing does is it says that within 10 minutes, it fully removes all the bubbles from your resin. So, I have some resin mixing over here in my stand mixer. I'll read those in a minute. Who has time for instructions? Give up. Not a very big machine. So, if you're working in large quantities, you may have to do a couple, 30 packaging. It's even like felt line fancy. Um, I apologize about my voice. I've had a cold and or allergies for many moons, I feel like. I don't know. I've lost count, but I had you. I hope you had an awesome Easter, whatever it is that you guys did. So, before I get ahead of myself, I have my resin mixing in the I still use stand mixer. It's also linked in the something description box. That could be that could be a word. And anyways, okay. It using this also helps to not have that many bubbles, but I think I'm going to end up like really vigorously hand mixing it so that we can really test whether this machine is good at bubble removal for real for real. Or if it's like gimmicky because you guys know here at ATD, we do the test so you don't have to. And this is no different. I don't let's maybe I don't want to break it. Sorry about that. Let's read the instructions. Take off the head and put mix resin cup in. Okay, so it sits like this. I'm glad I read that because for some reason this made more sense. All right. Okay. Power cord word. I guess because I figure electricity goes in the bottom of things and the top. I don't know. Okay. I guess we compared to, you know, a bunch of different resin brands. It's pretty consistent with all of them. I'm trying to knock off as much resin as possible because we don't waste resin around here. All right. So as you can see, there's not that many bubbles in it because with the I stoio it's submerged in the resin so it doesn't integrate any bubbles into your resin. So I'm going to just kind of get ham with this here. I am also using a wooden popsicle stick to do this because wooden popsicle sticks are porous as opposed to our acrylic stir sticks that we have on our shop are just told at.com. So this will also introduce a bunch of bubbles. And if your resin is thicker, you'll have a harder time. Ooh, actually, if your resin is thicker, you'll have a harder time as well. So I'm going to put my I stoio mixer kind of half in half out and basically fold in a bunch of bubbles. If you have a mixer like this, make sure that you don't bring your mixer out and put it back in a bunch of times because what's happening is bubbles or air is going to attach or get sucked in to your resin. So don't do this. You can see already how many more bubbles are in it than there were. But I really want this test to I want to see an actual huge difference. I don't want to be like, well, I guess there's some bubbles that are less than the other ones. So I don't want that. I want to have like, man, that's a lot of bubbles. And then where did all the bubbles go? So that's my plan. That's way like it. But when you use a stand mixer like that, you still have to scrape the sides and the bottom of your cup because those won't be incorporated like the rest of it. So all right, you got it all mixed up it. Meow. Oh, I got resin everywhere. Shock. It says don't mix resin too full. Half of the cup will be recommended. Otherwise, it may spill out while vacuuming or bubbles may be stuck inside due to resin overheating. So stone coats are art coat. I've worked it up to three hours before. It says 41 epoxy. But show us your face. You don't want to see my face today. It looks like I've been sick. Just know that I have a cute face when I do it up. Also, I did the beginning. So that got me off track. Oh yeah. So I wouldn't use this machine with the super cure that I've been using lately from Stone Coat because it would basically probably just cure up right in the machine. It says it's supposed to be in there for 10 minutes. Okay, so put your resin in there uh put the head on which I suppose is this the cord probably stays on the outside. Put the head on the plug put the head on and then plug the silicone cover. Oh that was it twist? No. All right, so just sets on there. Whoa put the head on and plug the silicone cover. How do you plug it? Oh that's probably this. Oh okay. So there's a little right under the plug here. I'm gonna bring you guys down for this is a plug here. Sorry about that. So there's a little plug here that once your system starts sucking up all the air for you. This I guess is the pressurizer but they call it a pressure hole which you know if that's your pressure hole then that's your pressure hole. Okay plug the silicone cover last press the power button the indicator light will turn on. Can you guys hear it? I can hear it. Okay if that's distracting let me know. So then it says observe the process of degassing after the machine operated. In general it takes 10 minutes wait until bubbles have completely risen to the surface press power button again to shut it off unplug the silicone cover wait 10 seconds to release the pressure and then pull out your resin. So okay cool. That is a lot of bubbles that need to come out. It is quite hazy. I was a little bit hoping that I would see some like but doesn't appear to be working but there are a lot of bubbles on the surface. It looks like my resin's carbonated but yeah so let's set that right there and while that's doing that I'll show you the decals. Okay okay so if you have never worked with water slide decals it is essentially the only reason why I've been able to mass produce these tumblers for Jessica's wedding PS if you need custom tumblers done for your event hit me up. It's there looking so nice. This is with resin on. How gorge how gorge especially when that gold hits is uh took a photo in that case Jeff made me Jeff made me some of these there's some of my lip pieces oh sorry for the extreme close-up and what you do is you just drop it in water like a temporary tattoo just like this and it doesn't take long. It takes merely a few moments. Y'all look how cute from the other day. I'm not gonna peel it back. I'm not gonna peel it back because I'm gonna resin this. Okay so it takes just a couple seconds just like with um like a temporary tattoo. I know tg I went ahead and reset my internet. Sorry about the buffering um it should be fine but you'd think since um it's fiber internet it would be fine but anyways so once this has been setting for a little bit you can start to slide the decal off of the backing as you can see it's very translucent transparent it's not even the answer and so I'm gonna actually put this on a lighter one here I have a bigger one hold that take up too much space in this so since it's a water slide you can kind of still move it around a little bit but once you take the decal off of the backing it's kind of hard to move it around so kind of line it up before maybe want to spray those before you get too cutty. Okay so after it's on there this little bit is folded you can see a bunch of wrinkles not very cute so I'm just going to take this very flimsy aluminum card and you can just just trying to center it and so you can see what it looks like when you slide all the water out from under it it just smooths it out I was so worried first time I did this that it was going to take color off but it doesn't because you're supposed to seal it with an archival spray or a clear spray paint before you add your resin. How much do you not need to plug that in? 71% so um yeah that's the first one it looks like I did not seal this one very well but if you seal it well enough then you have to really worry about any bleed out ATD or decal shut up and take my money so I don't have these on the website but I can if you guys are interested in anything. So the thing with these are is just want to let you know it's there's no white so if you were to put these on some dark hope it doesn't overflow if it does I'll clean it out can you turn it off and then let the bubbles go down and then turn it back on I don't know it didn't say anything about it in the instructions it looks like this down here is nice and clear and maybe listen okay I don't know how the science of this works but it looks like it is mixing more bubbles in than I had in there or it's expanding the bubbles as it's sucking him out no it's not like him but wow it's a bowie bean what's up windy okay it does look a little bit milkshakey doesn't it okay so I I know this is gonna be slightly translucent that's kind of the only downside with these is that they aren't opaque and you guys should have watched my video on the difference in opacity whether it is translucent opaque transparent etc um I don't know what we could do to make it it looks funny also my little baby no I don't know what we would do to make them more okay whether we didn't use any like there's not a different kind of ink jet ink that we description box by the way oh my goodness I hope it doesn't like are those is that the clear resin at the bottom yeah but the amount of clear resin is getting bigger here I just want to know if it will suck up so many bubbles it's gonna overflow I'm just gonna have to wipe it out after it did warn me it did say only put a half a cup of resin in there okay so you don't want to leave these in the water too long because then they'll start to kind of peel up and fold as a disconnect from the backing and the less shapes that you cut easier it is to slide right the less intricate shape the better for sure oh my goodness I'm so pumped about these being like full color this is gonna be so weird like because it's gonna be white you don't have to use this specific card you can use any flat card that you have but how fresh JJ said I'm gonna have to come visit y'all and have Jeff make up some special that was in there for too long and I used um oh yeah I used uh you see that clear the ink is coming off when he used a matte clear as opposed to the archival spray so so note that um using archival spray because just a matte clear will see where the ink is running running okay um so what I usually do is when I go to take out one I'll put the next one in and that usually is about the amount of time this is 30 seconds but this is are we putting this in on this one huh oh yeah initially these little folds made me a little bit nervous but you don't it's fine because after all of my frustration I read the instructions and it said just do this and it even if it's folded under it pops it out but apparently that is not the case for that so let's put a little bit more water on that part I wish they were opaque though because but the thing is there's no oh that's part of the design right and if it were you would definitely have to cut out the uh you kind of have to do them on a solid background for them to not look washed out no oh that looks good so you can set the water and everything up under but just give it a little squoosh it's maybe a squeegee is that what we can call this move let me show you what happens when you don't do that you I'm pretty sure that's what happened with this one this one was one of the first ones which I am so upset about because the the tumbler itself looks really good but because I didn't I think it's because I didn't get all the water out it ended up looking like this but since we had it like cut specifically for this shape it doesn't look too terribly bad it's my it's one of my alternatives all right let's check on our debubbler so it hasn't spilled out yet probably gonna probably probably but that resin down in the bottom down there I guess you probably can't tell as much as I can because it's spilling out on one side at this point you can see it back here spilling out on the backside but whatever your egg all of this is super clear my concern though is if you're working with a thicker viscosity resin or a faster curing resin what would happen but we will we'll do a test on that it's spilling over but the bubbles are coming out yeah but this doesn't it seems like that you're just that would that's gonna take like two hours it said 10 minutes there's no way I know it's not gonna be 10 did you put extra bubbles in there did I did I mixed some extra bubbles because why not be true true test so anyways let me guys know if you guys have any question what's your favorite part about creating I I like creating because it's okay it sounds so corny but you know some people say that art is their meditation I can't meditate because I'll either fall asleep or my ADHD will kick in and I'll think about all number of things that I'm not supposed to be thinking about instead of a third eye and chakras or all that stuff that I even lose track of as people are telling me and so for me creating is just a nice outlet it's a relaxing source of expression personally and you know it may not be that for everybody but it is that for me additionally it's kind of one of my ways to connect with other creatives like y'all because you lovely people tune in to see what we create and I want to ask you guys about what I'm thinking of and what you guys are working on and that I really enjoy I'll use a silicone brush that's a good idea too Erica when you use a resin that is a medium viscosity it literally adds more bubbles well so in the instruction book it's it didn't say anything about what kind of resin to and not to use but let me like read the the facts the FAQs I guess and also when you guys get done with these don't lay them down with the that shiny glue side down because it will stick to whatever you lay it down to oh this one wasn't sealed either in the blue shiny side down is bad we'll not use it anymore I hate that darn machine every time I use it I swear more bubbles are in my resin than before I put it in the machine so yes there are currently way more bubbles in it than when I put it in there I guess I could take it out and just like scoop the top of it or else this is going to end up being a really long video I'll do a time-lapse video on this machine as well for you guys because I don't want you to have to sit here for a couple 20 more hours while we figure this out so tickle belly hi from Dallas we're in Dallas tg I think you're right some things cannot be manipulated through technology sometimes they can and if they can we're gonna figure it out together right here today together right now right here I always forget to put the water down oh I did too okay so it says turn it off yes I should bring you guys down here for this turn it off and then I'm gonna release the little release the Kraken it's gonna make a sound I'm sure okay ready it sounds just like your compressor I thought would have been like yeah I think you're supposed to like let it do that then do it again I don't know you think I have to let it do that and then do it again I don't know how to get this top off now it probably takes a minute I'm sure I read about it okay so then if I start it right back up again will it just re-bubble I mean they're rising because whatever I see somebody like the wood turning stuff I watch they put it in there what's this called it's skipping my brain are you guys having a lot of buffering what's that nice it looks works great for low viscosity resins only I could see that is it buffering for a lot of y'all it's playing fine on our end pressure pot they it shows it bubbling up and they turn it off they turn the air down and then when the bubbles go down they turn it back on turn it back off turn it back on JJ said if you reload it it should stop the buffering it did for him so the things that you watch that do it turn it off turn back on yeah I wonder if I could just scoop out the bubbles or would it just make more bubbles in it JJ says I missed the beginning what are these decals so these decals are waterslide decals waterslide decals I have them listed down in the description box an entire pack of like 20 something sheets is like 12 bucks and I was really skeptical at first I just put it in our I just put it in the lake I put it in everything today don't scoop okay and um spray with alcohol okay Karen clearly you have worked with one of these well before me can I just open it spritz with alcohol and close it and then let it go or you're saying spritz with alcohol when it's done so these decals are um waterslide decals and I have them listed in the link below all right let's try the spritz with alcohol and see what happens if it does nothing good then well no keep refreshing goes back to it that leaf would be cool cast inside a circle mold I think so too so let me find some alcohol do we have any alcohol is this the one where it's boarded on there you'll see it has a splash on it okay so then you take some in it for it to be good enough for me to pop the top I'm gonna let it set for a second and then we're gonna unscrew it it's not it's not screwed down it's stormy here too to be fair stormy yeah there's like hail warning okay let me read the instructions again to find out how to open this thing unplug the silicone cover and wait about 10 seconds to release the pressure release the cracker here's the thing the okay so because it's the machine is shaped like this I'm scared to like I can't it's a two person job to give this to open you put it in front of them oh for some reason I thought it was up there it is a little bit warm but there is not a bubble in this lower 48 here not one so let's spritz the top with some alcohol I am using 91% isopropyl I guess I'll lift you guys up mm-hmm probably going down some tickle belly one says we are about to get it the storm that is in Dallas I don't want to spritz too much alcohol into this because you don't want it to mess with the durability of your resin but that's pretty pretty fancy stuff right there I guess if you have time for this system to make it do then it's a great thing I'm gonna scoop some of these bubbles off are they on the top are they in the resin they're on the top of the resin I thought it was an old one okay I thought you meant like actual bubbles on top I actually I thought it was on top but it's not it is well I can now I don't think I can hit it with enough alcohol that it won't mess with the science of the epoxy maybe I can just pour out the bubbly part and put it back in the thing yeah I think yeah trying to just only get the bubbly bit pretty good amount of the bubbly bits should I put the should I put it back in there put just to pour a little bit more and then put just the bubbly bits in there just to see all right then we'll just we'll resin with this and we'll degas this lid check pressure hole check power button check all right so that's doing that again I'll put you guys back in the sky and we will start resigning these little coasties while we got any new uh watchers new subscribers new to the channel longtime no chatters I love when somebody says I've been watching you for this many years but I've never spoken watch JJ be like hey longtime watcher first time chatter so what are we doing with these well we have to put we have to put resin on top of the ones we just did I thought you have to like wait a couple hours for that and there's water on these right we'll just unwater them unwater them yeah this is unwatered usually we would show you guys what these look like without the backs of them on however that wouldn't make much sense because then resigning the top of these we would have no protection on the back of them so we're going to leave the backs I would say that it did what it said it was going to do actually before I start mixing that up let's spurts it one more time with alcohol and see if that pops these surface bubbles not that much I guess I don't want to mix this because that's just going to mix bubbled into it so that would be silly I often turn it back on it looks like when this is gearing up it appears that we're going to need some more stuff to put resin on because that doesn't need a clear coat do make sure that you wipe your piece of any water that may be on it from doing your water slide so cute I was really concerned I was really concerned about not um liking these because I tried a couple of different waterslide brands and it just didn't work well you could see like the outline and it just didn't look good so you can see this was the first one we poured out so it's got some bubbles in it so I will be popping bubbles I I'm assuming that these are going to be all just surface level bubbles because they were expressed a bit and the resin is a bit thinner because it's warmer from whatever is happening in that machine and so it does its job but then again when you're working on something like this of course it's going to work of course it's going to it's not deep enough to not work you know what I mean so I think we need to do a a deeper piece do we have a something I do have a something we're working on these posters on our website they are posters I'm super pumped about having these finally listed I try to put resin in one of those that we have we oh we try to do that baby power the baby oil in the in the water and it leaked a little well let's try it with resin so I'm just going to put some flowers in this so that it's got just something in there I'm really not concerned ultimately with the layout I just need to have something in there was that lavender I think this is setting up what what what this is our coat oh maybe that stuff that thing does something to it I don't know I know it's warm I don't know that it's maybe I'm just thinking about it I don't I have no heat so I can't do anything we'll take more of it I just wanted to pour some out in case it was starting to set it that's weird it's like it's a little hot it is but we don't know exactly what's going on by tg okay so I'm going to take our degassed epoxy and just fill it you can see that there are some bubbles still in there but maybe it'll continue to work its way out who actually knows I'm sure for sure that maybe if I didn't fill it quite so much it wouldn't have an issue the moral of the story is look at this cute little bowie face maybe it's made out of deep set high like really thin stuff well in the q&a on the back of that it mentioned um can I use a two to one epoxy and those are typically I need to pour some of this out I put too much two to one that's usually a casting epoxy and so if someone's asking if they could use a two to one then wouldn't that imply that you know what I mean like if it's not already assumed that that's what you're supposed to use in this then I don't know I somehow shifted my entire design but it'll be fine that's not got resin oh sorry so are you going to do any more true crime bids those are fun yeah I have two more recorded that I have in the middle of editing but I'm working on a couple commissions that have just completely taken up all of my time so yes and I am still taking submissions for what you guys want to see like what stories so feel free to let me know so that little bit of something resin is still yeah they need to be bigger but it's funny because they're just the same size as everything there's just not a lot to it I made a couple mushroom coasters they're not on the website yet so don't go looking for them um probably make them a little bit bigger just because of this I just I try to make the all the coasters the same size but when there's less material or there's other more material it's you got to get a kind of play around and see what see what you got going on you know what I'm saying hello Erica this is Rochelle from Diego how are things in San Diego by the way thank you guys for watching if you haven't subscribed yet please do so it really helps our channel and then you'll never miss when we go live which is every day at six central except for on Tuesdays it's two p.m. central right well looks like it's in the same position as the last one I'll try a different epoxy when I do my time lapse review so that um we can see the difference between different epoxies and how long it takes to squeeze all the bubbles out um on these ones you can see I have a little hair courtesy of Bowie I'm sure but in terms of bubbles coming back up to the surface typically we'd have to that one needs another spray of heat you can see that little bumpy texture right there but this one's first one that we did um this fine this one you can see has some bubbles in it that one is fine this one's going to have some texture you can see it in this bridge right here and we haven't done something yet B we haven't done that one yet so I guess I'll add resin to that last one what brand is the bubble remover um it is by resiners arias ion I would just open and see if it's like hot once we pull it out and it's just see if it's hot so I guess if you've got the time to wait for your one to one to fully off gas and that little machine by all means it is not a cheap machine from what I'm seeing online so I don't know I don't know if this is an operator error type thing you know I don't know if I did something that made like if I I mean maybe you're not supposed to use the kind of resin that I use maybe it is only for like casting epoxies but casting epoxies by nature are supposed to be able to off gas you know what I mean so I love the mushroom with a little mushroom giant fan well thank you where did they go where did all the little mushes go um we'll have these on the website we we just cut these today and Jeff needs to make them a little bit bigger I think because they're I mean they're in the family of the same size but I think just a little bit bigger would be better and so yeah I I don't know I really wanted this thing to be amazing I don't do that much casting except for when I do flower pieces like this little one so I maybe it is that I need to use a thicker viscose no a more viscose nope viscose no pistachio yeah no uh this kiss maybe I don't know words are hard and I don't know what I did that wasn't according to the instructions but you know what you can't always base it off of one attempt so I think I think I think there's a lot of bubbles I think we did it for longer than the recommended 10 minutes and maybe it is that I use the wrong resin maybe it it shouldn't be a one-to-one um glitz and glitter uses multiple resin types and brands and she doesn't have any issues thank you Kathy I I will see um what kind of I don't know I have a bunch of different different types of thicknesses of epoxy and so I will try um all of them on my like a prerecorded time lap so you guys don't have to just sit here and watch bubbles evaporate with me and uh maybe I had it a little too full it was six ounces and an eight ounce cup so it said it said to try not to go over one-to-one low viscosity only okay I will I have a bunch of different viscous this is this is and so we'll we'll give it another shot you know what did you did I hear you say that you were mixing it vigorously so that you would get more bubbles uh yes I did mix it vigorously to get more bubbles because I wanted to see I didn't want so if I just use my I stoio it doesn't even have that many bubbles in it so what is that going to prove if it starts with no bubbles um so I don't know I I can't give my rating on this yet because I'm not sure I'm not sure but I will be sure soon I also was sent a resiners smart curing machine that maybe we'll do that well I'll have to time lapse that one right before I'm out of mind I watched multiple youtube videos and people were viewing it and I bought mine after that I have used mine so many times since I spent 150 on it I was determined to have it work well Karen I I don't want anyone to waste their money if it doesn't work like it should and so that's you know what we're here for we're going to do the test so you don't have to but I do want to be as thorough as resin than y'alls and so what we're going to do is try a whole bunch of different thicknesses of resin and I'll pre-record it and I'll post it for you guys to see I'm not going to give my ultimate um thoughts on this machine just yet especially with that price tag cheese and crackers but I will say that the water slide decals that we got this brand in particular I used a different one and it did not work as well but this one from Hayes paper company I have it linked down in the description box it works amazing and anyways if you haven't subscribed yet please do so and if you have any questions please leave them down in the comments below this video and we'll see you tomorrow another because you never been going through and always remember we do the test so you can this is like I know it's time it's time it's time and so yeah um so if it's possible to work it then I'll figure it out and if it's not then I'll let you know because we tell the truth around here so um yeah we gotta go but I'll see you guys tomorrow at 2 p.m. central whatever time you're in right now okay so it's seven five hours back from right now but tomorrow that's when we'll be yeah because it's seven and then from two o'clock to seven is five anyways um we'll see you guys next time bye
