      I’m sure you’re correct. It looks like it’s bubbling all around when you look at the pictures in the video it’s sucking air out of everything so when it sucks the air out and as it cools the resin is going to fill those cavities in the rock

    You kept calling the pale blue turquoise from the Shoshone Indian Reservation "White Buffalo". It says "Sacred Buffalo". There is no such thing as White Buffalo Turquoise. The Otteson (pronounced OTT-e-son)Turquoise company, in Nevada, sells the one and only "White Buffalo STONE" from their turquoise mines. This is the only mine that produces this type of stone. This is totally separate from the SACRED BUFFALO Turquoise that come only from the Shoshone Reservation.

    I really hoped this video would solve my problem…but it’s frustrating to me that you don’t say where you got these parts from (looked it up, ice machine kits are expensive). Also, how did you attach that valve to the bucket? Looks like you needed something to keep it from leaking but you don’t mention how.

    • @RadicalRocks
      @RadicalRocks 4 месяца назад

      The plastic tubing that they use for an ice machine I think it’s a quarter inch or 5/16 inch. I’m not sure it usually comes with a fitting and it has a thread. I just found a nut that would fit the back of it and cut out a little piece of rubber Black rubber to make a gasket and snugged up a washer and nut on the inside of the bucket. those were items I just had around over the years they can be found at any hardware store

    • @RadicalRocks
      @RadicalRocks 4 месяца назад

      You could look on Amazon or eBay. There’s a lot of different ways to put a hole into a bucket and put a valve on it. It could be a garden hose valve. I’ve done that for a hydroponic set up that I had. I cut a hole in a 30 gallon bucket and they had awasher that fit into the hole and it would allow a certain size PVC pipe to slide through it and then I could just glue a threaded fitting with a plastic valve on there a threaded fitting with a brass valve. There’s a dozen different ways to do it if you’re not handy maybe try to find someone in your neighborhood that is handy to help you figure it out.
