    Let’s try airbrushing. Why was I afraid of this mess?

    February 28, 2021 /

    The airbrush is a tool I’ve had access to for a while, but have always put it off. Special thank you to Crafsson for the encouragement, and to our friend who sent us our first airbrush.

    Eliminate bubbles in resin casts (without a pressure pot).

    February 21, 2021 /

    Besides emails about photo transfers, questions related to resin casting have to be what I answer most each week. I got to realizing I was typing the same tips and tricks over and over, and felt like it was worth making a video on the topic. Here’s you some direct links to specific tips. See if there’s one you maybe aren’t familiar with, and check it out: 2:16​ JOOG your molds, tilt + tap4:52​ Mold VIBRATION5:22​ POWDER your molds6:35​ Resin PRE-SHAKE7:16​ Resin HIGH-POUR7:55​ SCREEN trick8:37​ FINGERTIP (and toothpic) technique11:22​ INJECT resin Almost every time I make a video, I realize there were things I should have mentioned.

    I made a complicated SIMPLE TOY with DIY injection molding

    January 24, 2021 /

    It is possible to make injection molds using a resin mix. I don’t like using 3D printed molds directly, for reasons of weaknicity and brittleness.

Was not able to re-render and re-upload in time for a Sunday release. ***** METAL MOLD BLANKS: https://www.techkits.com/collections/… INJECTION MOLDER USED IN THIS VIDEO: https://www.techkits.com/products/mod… (Injects up to 1 cubic inch shot size, or close to 18 grams.
