    Whycome he only has 175 subscribers?

    April 18, 2021 /

    In this video, I wanted to highlight another YouTube channel that I feel y’all would enjoy – “Cajun Craftastrophe”. What made me decide to talk about THIS particular channel, out of all the channels out there who could probably use a boost, was that his subscriber count was surprisingly low (175 at time of this video being made) and because he is making videos with a TON of heart and effort… on a regular basis. Inspiring stuff right here, y’all.

    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. (This may change when that Siraya Sculpt resin comes in.) ***** BLACK FRAME glitch at around 16:19 due to render error. 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.
