    I cannot BELIEVE you did that lettering all by hand, incredible attention to detail. And the ICING, oh my gosh. This is the first I'm seeing of your work, and it's gorgeous. Honestly something to aspire to!

    Hi. Love the idea just to say maybe liquid clay brushed onto the key cap before laying the clay on. Just use an old brush to smooth it first. :)

    Hi! Are these xda profile keycaps?💕

  • @fernaldywinata9233
    @fernaldywinata9233 Год назад

    Hi! Completely new and trying to start making some of my own here. But what are the keycap profiles that I should get?

    • @Tomatoda
      @Tomatoda  Год назад

      That depends on your preference but I recommend DSA because it’s an even height all around which makes it a nice base. Other profiles have sloping tops or each row on the keyboard is a different height. But whatever profile you get, just make sure it’s made from real PBT material.

    I know this video is a year old but can I ask if the Decoart duraclear ultra matter varnish turn yellow overtime? Or even wear off?

    • @Tomatoda
      @Tomatoda  2 года назад

      None of my stuff has turned yellow or worn off and I have a clay hair barrette coated with the same thing (made by another artist) and it looks the same as ever. I think as long as you keep it away from direct sunlight for long Periods of time, it should be fine.

    HELP KEYCAP MAKING EXPERTS: when using UV resin, do you just put in on and bake or are there specific steps to set the resin before baking… thank you to anyone who answers, much appreciated :)

    • @Tomatoda
      @Tomatoda  2 года назад

      Uv resin requires a uv lamp to set/cure and should be done after baking. I mean… You CAN bake with cured uv resin for short times but it’s not recommended and should be done with caution! Hope that helps!
