Methinks you have watched Kung Pow a little tooooo often - sweet susie. Such a funny film. I watched it with my son and we were both in floods of tears. Thanks for the reminder - must watch again.. Oh yeah, enjoyed your video too. Evan remembers the high heat material after all the moulds are done. Kinda like the old topic ad (if you ever had topic bars over yonder) "Oh yeah, it's funny how you always remember right at the end". Topic, a hazlenut in every bite. Oh god. It's 3:30 am. I'm ranting. I'm tired. Good night ... sweet susie. I'm gonna be dreaming of kung pow now. Cheers (Heads off upstairs giggling)
There were many times where I recognized the add-in musics. Tell me... have you used the music from the arcana romance stories? Sorry if it isn’t true...I’m a dedicated the arcana interactive romance story --- I can remembered like every song from it. Sorry if I’m just making wrong assumptions from mere repeating coincidences. But it’s good for you if you like the idea of tarots! *I’m not sponsored btw good taste in music bye*❤️❤️❤️
Why do I relate to Evan so much when he said “surprise me” but then asked for something specific? It’s like when I hit shuffle on a playlist and then skip until the song I actually wanted comes on.
Yes! I do a variation on this when making a decision. Flip a coin, then super quick, ask myself if I'm happy with the result. Accept or ignore the coin toss, 'cause I now know what I *really* like/want. Works ninety percent of the time, all the time! ☺️
These two are the cutest couple... honestly might be the closest thing I’ve seen to soulmates. The way they aren’t afraid to be themselves with each other is beautiful and this is the future I want💕
I don't know why but seeing Evan and Katelyn bond and have fun not only as a husband and wife but also as little kids is so fun and nice to watch. I also love seeing them not argue over anything and just relax and not be tense where other couples and partners fail under pressure is nice and refreshing to see.
Maybe you could slip cast the mold with clear resin first to form a barrier between the other materials you use to fill them. Might even look ghostly to have the colours set inside the 'gem'.
"We still have like two and a half potatoes left" -- that's so great. -- Next time someone panics at work, I'm going to say that to calm them down (with zero explanation). -- Also, "(E+K)/Potato" was pretty great.
You could try adding the dry concrete as an additive to the resin, so it doesn't have to cure also. That way, it is like a resin pour that can mix better because the water won't be repelling the resin.
16:30 is my favorite one!! 😍 Yall should do them again but without the cement and make crystal clusters! Use the same idea of the potatoes but just cut them so they are flush together and appear to be 'touching' so when you do the plastic mold cover it'll look like it's a cluster of Crystal's!
You guys are just the best! I've been struggling with a lot lately and even doing things I enjoy like woodworking have been difficult. Watching you guys has helped me a lot and have given me more motivation to make things!
Thank you, that really means a lot to hear! I think sometimes you just need a fun low pressure project where it's ok if things mess up (kinda like this one) to get the juices flowing :) Best of luck!
Crazy to watch back old videos after discovering your channel. To see the evolution of your safety and precautions is awesome. From no masks to full suits lol
I love that you write your dialogue before hand and then act surprised. Like when Evan pulled out that thermoplast sheet and said that you had higher temparute one, and Kate was all shocked!!
We don't actually write our dialogue beforehand unless it's an ad spot and we have certain points we need to hit or back in the day when we did voice overs
Great video you two! I love all the resin videos you guys are making. These would be really neat being full resin and then put an LED in the bottom and just leave the wires hanging out. Would be really cool lights at night. And really easy to make. I’d love to see this in a future video!
@@EvanAndKatelyn You know, one thing that sets you two apart and above others is that you reply to the comments. That is SO huge! Some RUclipsr's don't do that, but we REALLY appreciate that y'all do!
That mold maker is awesome! I could really use it right now lol... I'm kinda surprised that only one gem broke with mixing the resin and concrete(I don't know the cure time for the concrete). Because, the concrete was mixed with water and resin and water don't usually play well with each other. That may be the reason why K's half resin and half concrete broke. Since the resin was cured before the concrete didn't have much of anything to adhere with. I think if you were to take a low grit of sandpaper to the first layer, the concrete would have an easier time bonding together. Great video as always!!!-
EvanAndKatelyn you should try it with wood, aluminum honeycomb, shredded money, steel and copper shavings, and so much more. The one thing that was really surprising to me was that it didn't look like you had any bubbles!!! How fast does the concrete set? That may be the reason why the two interacted good together.
I was really excited when I saw that vacuum former, thinking it might be reasonably priced for its size. Spoiler alert: it is not. Back to the DIY plan!
this tot me how to turn potato quality stuff into quality gem products. While mixing concrete and epoxy is a solid idea, I like that it spud off and sunk into unexpected results you could resinate with. Keep up the great work!
I love the look in your face when you slammed the plastic down and it totally worked! Very creative idea for making vacuform objects. I've always wanted to try this!
Congratulations on your Makyu! I've been tossing around the idea of getting one for some time now! I feel like someone could easily make a business just using Makyu/Glowforge/x-carve! Good video!
Hi E&k! My girlfriend and I just found your channel and we love it! Sooo much inspiration! We love to create things and work on projects together. I'm steadily build my arsenal of machines. Currently I'm working on some projects with recycled HDPE #2 plastic. I make motorcycle racing parts and other things like bowls and cups also going to make your self watering plant container soon. The plastic is an awesome product to work with! Very versatile. I make big blocks with mixed all different colors that I then use as stock and machine down to make whatever. I'd love to send you a brick and see what ideas you can come up with. Let me know. Thanks for sharing your ideas! Keep the inspiration and creativity coming!
Cut some of the gems in half! I'm curious how the inside looks, cos y'all were poking the middle instead of the outer edges so they prolly lookssuppperrr coool♡♡
I love how gosh darn creative you two are! It's so cute seeing how excited you both get after making progress in this project. Those potato gems turned out AMAZINGGG!!
I just discovered you guys and you're creators after my own heart! I binged like 20 episodes yesterday....:) Keep it up! Highly entertaining and I love that you guys are so sincere
Hey you two, LOVE your creativity! Your videos are my pick me up for the day. Never leave the screen in a bad mood after watching one of your episodes. Thanks for sharing your time.
Wet Look is a concrete sealer that penetrates the pores of concrete and gives concrete a polished wet-look. it comes in clear and other colors too. I don't know what it would do to resin or if it would even apply to this project, but I love the way it brings out the flaws and details and the over-all look of concrete.
I was thinking with the one in two pieces at 13:30, you could modify it with a recess to hide/store rings, could even add a small hinge to make a cool box.
Hey Evan, Hey Katelyn. Can you please try cold molding? In case you dont know: mixing a metal power (like Iron powder) in a 1to1 ratio to resin and cast it. I think a rusted Coldmolded object would work GREAT with Concrete. I hope you like this Idea! Keep on with your nice work :) Greetings :)
Cold casting is as far as I know, coating the inside of the mold with metal powder and then pour the resin in. Black resin is a good base and you can additionally mix in some metal powder. But you need fine metal powders to prevent sinking.
You crazy kids with your myface and your fake geological artifacts. Back in my day we didn't have fancy geode art to hang on the walls. We just had potatoes and we were darn happy to have em ... wait, they are potato's ok, that checks out then. Carry on.
great work guys. your videos always makes me happy and thank you for that. Btw could you guys do a skeleton resin?? like the full skeleton of a small fish or a plant leaf skeleton and maybe going a bit further with led back light to reveal everything...
Smoothon makes a concrete mold release called Aquacon that will not discolor your concrete, but most people use dish soap (spay on a diluted solution and let it dry) or vegetable oil as a concrete mold release. I have not mixed those mold release agents with resin but the soap works with epoxy. The biggest reason you are having trouble with the molds, though, is that you have a rigid material in a rigid mold. You need a way to let air flow around and under the part to get it to release, otherwise the air pressure outside is fighting the vacuum you are creating inside. That is why shallow piece can be popped out but the deeper pieces hard harder (more surface area = more force).
Ahh those are some great tips!! Going to start a document where we can write some of these down for next time with some of the hard learned lessons we've made lol. Yeah the rigid plastic molds definitely have a learning curve but they are SO quick to make, definitely want to try experimenting with them more 😄
@@EvanAndKatelyn Bill Doran knows a lot about molding - talk to him about how to make your molds in ways that come apart with minimal clean up (e.g. split the potato and make a two part mold sol that each side is not as deep)
I've never thought of mixing concrete with resin before....... interesting. Something I've seen in the past would probably help where the mold pulled off some of the concrete. If you mix up some clear resin, you can paint over the finished product to make it smooth again. A couple of ideas I would love to see you try:- - Instead of mixing the concrete with water, to start with, mix it up using clear resin - A mould in a mould..... make a mould, cover it with foam board (or similar), then do a mould over that. When you've seperated everything you can the do an outer layer pour with the 2 moulds together, then remove the inside mould and fill it in a second pour.......... it might work lol
This one of those things that I was curious about but was too scared to try. Glad you did 😊 I generally hear that water and resin don't mix but I have used acrylic paint on resin without any issues so concrete was something I was curiousabout. I appreciate these art experiments for you know science lol 😆
This was a brilliant idea even the not so perfect ones were cool! Maybe you could put resin with a layer of crystals or stones in it and then the concrete layer and that would give the concrete a rough edge to cure to.
EvanAndKatelyn I shall make the time to watch that lol. I also forgot to mention, would sealing the potatoes work out? Would the starch in potatoes make that difficult?
Idk if you guys read comments on old vids or not but this is like the fourth time I’ve re-watched this and I just had a really cool idea if you ever want to revisit something like this what if you coated the mold in concrete and then tipped the extra out so it was just a thin layer of concrete (might have to mix the concrete a bit thin idk how that would work but I am spitballing here lol) and then filled it in with geode colours of resin like how a geode has the normal looking rock on the outside and the pretty colours on the inside? I know you two love your geodes so it would be cool to see!
You could try putting water in the cups you used to hold the moulds (so that the moulds are in the water) then the plastic would probably survive the thicker resin pours.
For preventing the molds from melting, you could sit them in a cup of water so that the water absorbs the excess heat. I don't know if that would mess with the resin curing process, though. Then call Linus Tech Tips and tell him you've water cooled your concrete potato resin.

I was just thinking a similar thing, slip cast with a thin layer of colored resin and then fill with concrete.

You need a way to let air flow around and under the part to get it to release, otherwise the air pressure outside is fighting the vacuum you are creating inside. That is why shallow piece can be popped out but the deeper pieces hard harder (more surface area = more force).
Ahh those are some great tips!! Going to start a document where we can write some of these down for next time with some of the hard learned lessons we've made lol.
Yeah the rigid plastic molds definitely have a learning curve but they are SO quick to make, definitely want to try experimenting with them more 😄
@@EvanAndKatelyn Bill Doran knows a lot about molding - talk to him about how to make your molds in ways that come apart with minimal clean up (e.g. split the potato and make a two part mold sol that each side is not as deep)
I've never thought of mixing concrete with resin before....... interesting.
Something I've seen in the past would probably help where the mold pulled off some of the concrete. If you mix up some clear resin, you can paint over the finished product to make it smooth again.
A couple of ideas I would love to see you try:-
- Instead of mixing the concrete with water, to start with, mix it up using clear resin
- A mould in a mould..... make a mould, cover it with foam board (or similar), then do a mould over that. When you've seperated everything you can the do an outer layer pour with the 2 moulds together, then remove the inside mould and fill it in a second pour.......... it might work lol
Oooooo interesting suggestions, we'll keep those in mind for the next round of experiments. Thank you!
@@EvanAndKatelyn no probs, I hope they work 😊
I already know y’all will hit 1 million one day!
I wish!
EvanAndKatelyn just wait haha 😁😁👍🏻
This one of those things that I was curious about but was too scared to try. Glad you did 😊 I generally hear that water and resin don't mix but I have used acrylic paint on resin without any issues so concrete was something I was curiousabout. I appreciate these art experiments for you know science lol 😆
For science!!! Haha thank you, it's really fun to mix things and try new stuff. Cool that acrylic paint works on resin too!
This was a brilliant idea even the not so perfect ones were cool! Maybe you could put resin with a layer of crystals or stones in it and then the concrete layer and that would give the concrete a rough edge to cure to.
Thank you!!! Yes that would be really fun to try
Lol to Evan grunting... I grunt just getting up from a sitting position 😂😂
So does Evan haha. I have a montage of grunts in the blooper reel of one of our videos (the giant wood wall art I believe haha)
EvanAndKatelyn I shall make the time to watch that lol. I also forgot to mention, would sealing the potatoes work out? Would the starch in potatoes make that difficult?

I love the tiny purple one - it looks like a funky little sapphire
Thank you!
Idk if you guys read comments on old vids or not but this is like the fourth time I’ve re-watched this and I just had a really cool idea if you ever want to revisit something like this
what if you coated the mold in concrete and then tipped the extra out so it was just a thin layer of concrete (might have to mix the concrete a bit thin idk how that would work but I am spitballing here lol) and then filled it in with geode colours of resin like how a geode has the normal looking rock on the outside and the pretty colours on the inside?
I know you two love your geodes so it would be cool to see!
😂😂😂 I can’t... You guys are the best!
haha thanks y'all!
My formbox is literally out for delivery can’t wait to try it. Love the videos
Ooooo awesome! We are really liking it so far!
even in 2018 i loved u guys
To help with heat, you could put water in the cups that you had the molds sitting in.
That is a brilliant idea!!
You could try putting water in the cups you used to hold the moulds (so that the moulds are in the water) then the plastic would probably survive the thicker resin pours.
ooooo that is a really good idea! Thank you!!
I love how their relationship really revolves around resin 😍🤣😍🤣
For preventing the molds from melting, you could sit them in a cup of water so that the water absorbs the excess heat. I don't know if that would mess with the resin curing process, though.
Then call Linus Tech Tips and tell him you've water cooled your concrete potato resin.
We have that machine at our makerspace. It is so fun to play with. I played with 3D prints and chocolate. A lot of fun.
Ooo would be fun to play with chocolate!
Ooh making chocolate shapes would be fun!!
