    Ben, I dont think it'd matter what type of stuff you do, the way you present all of your projects make them entertaining and calming, basically just keep being you, its great

      Agreed! The resin craft Bob Ross

      I was thinking the same. So interesting and also soothing. Ben has a lovely demeanour.

      My mind went to Bob Ross too...especially when he used Phthalo Blue.

      I agree with you it really doesn't matter what Ben makes because hus voice is calm and gives off an asmr effect

    To hear that your little dragon was named Elliot made my heart so happy! Pete's Dragon was one of my favorite movies as a kid.

      Wow I’ve been binging these vids ,, saw your comment on the dragon being called Elliot. My first thought was “eh what’re the odds it’d be named Elliot”. Hahhaah here we are now !!!

    The turtle looks amazing. I can see a lot of these turtles, eggs, and dinosaurs in your Etsy shop.
    I absolutely love the name Elliott. Elliott's a Great Mascot.

    Nice job Ben, another thing that is good to try when colouring the mould is to mix the mica powder with Isopropyl alcohol to make a paint then the dust doesn't go everywhere it's much easier to apply and the alcohol evaporates off in seconds...

    Just ordered my first lot of resin from Justresin, so here's hoping. Your channel, as well as a few others, has convinced me I need to have a play with resin - Ok just got back pay from work and have allocated $800 for fun stuff, and that's resin, pressure pot and some molds, and a few wooden boards to laser engrave and then resin fill. If it goes bad I'm blaming you Ben :)

  • @Lutzboater

    I'm so glad I found you! I just got Silicone to make my first mold I've been working with epoxy for almost 2 years. I never wear gloves either. It's made me pretty good at not getting it all over myself I can't feel anything with gloves on. I absolutely love your video! I'll be watching more!

  • @anitamoses710
    @anitamoses710 5 месяцев назад +1

    Wow! The turtle is sooo beaUtiful I liked it very much. Looking at the prices so high even for these tiny moulds, I use to feel so bad to buy them thinking how to spend so much money to buy these moulds, I thank you, for sharing this method of making this mould.

  • @newbiegamelover4767
    @newbiegamelover4767 Год назад

    At first, when you were putting the powder in the front legs, I thought you were doing them in a different color. But then I realized it was the same powder, but at a different angle! That is really cool!

  • @bonitagoodwin5086
    @bonitagoodwin5086 Год назад

    You are correct. The color shift is unreal!! I love him he's gorgeous!

    Have a idea for what might be a interesting pot cam, mix the resin with some shampoo or bubble bath. Would it bubble/foam up when pulling a vacuum or would it possibly do it when releasing it

    • @matrix626
      @matrix626 Год назад

      The pot is a pressure pot, it doesnt pull a vacuum.

    something you might want to look into: mold release spray. and I would suggest putting the silicone in the vacuum chamber after stirring and before pouring. get rid of those bubbles!

    3:20 Dont pour it onto the object. Pour next to it (or against the outside wall if there isnt space to reach the bottom in a straight line) so the silicone can rise and push the air out.

  • @poogie_
    @poogie_ Год назад

    I cracked up when you lost both the tips of the eyeshadow applicators. That’s exactly like something I’d do.
    Also, I appreciate that you change up the music and whatnot but hearing the familiar song when you were applying the mica was really nice. I always love knowing what song comes next when watching your videos. It’s comforting. (And, again, I understand wanting to change things. I’m just tipping my hat to the familiarity. 😁 )

    You should get some silicone paint brush for poking around in the molds it is softer than a stick and won't mess up your molds

    I love knowing how to make my own mold now. Thanking you! Definitely will have to keep an eye out for ornaments to turn into them. I love the ones Julie makes at pouring your heart out on ebay, but have yet to invest in one that expensive... to get the perfect mold I've made myself, well that would be awesome!
