Could This Finally Be What Creates BLACK Aqua Cast??
Since I first started playing with Aqua Cast, I've been trying to find a pigment that will turn it black. Not gray, but actually black. I started by testing the many, many colorants and pigments I already have in the werkroom, with varying degrees of success -- the best being black acrylic paint, but it would seize up the Aqua Cast mixture so it would no longer pour nicely into a mold... After going through all that, I finally wised up and decided to seek out a pigment specifically for concrete or plaster. And that led me to this Marblers Jet Black Extra Strength color pigment for concrete, grout, cement, etc. So this is what I'm testing in this video, along with a couple fun new micas from SolarColorDust.com (10% discount code: luxinda). Let's just say that the black and holo gods laughed and laughed and laughed.

      I don’t doubt it - most of the time I think it’s not so much the machinery or the tools as it is just repeated testing to find out what works best in each person’s situation. Come back and let us know how it goes with a laminator.

    Glad to see you got it to work but I think the issue for me is if the laser printer would melt the decal sheet and possibly damage the printer? Laser printers can run at up to 400 degrees Celsius which is pretty hot so I'd be at least a bit concerned that this would melt the sheet! It seems it worked okay when you tested it though :)

In all honesty, the potential problem you’re describing never even occurred to me. But that’s still no guarantee - you’ll need to make that decision.

    • @LuxindasOtherObsessions
      @LuxindasOtherObsessions 7 місяців тому

      The best way I’ve found to not have waterslide edges show (or not show much) is to fix the waterslide image after you print it or foil it with a couple layers of Plastidip Glossifier spray. Once dry, trim as close to the image as possible and apply them to a shiny flat surface. So if you want to apply the waterslide directly onto a painted tumbler, use a gloss spray paint on the tumbler, or (even though it takes longer) apply a layer of resin first then apply the waterslide once the resin hardens. Hopefully this helps. It can take some experimenting to find the best method for you.

    • @LuxindasOtherObsessions
      @LuxindasOtherObsessions 10 місяців тому

      Hi! Sorry to hear that. The time I tried it and got that same result as you, I was using a waterslide paper that was rated for both inkjet and laser printers, thinking that would be great cuz I could use it for pretty much any type of waterslide I needed. But the foil stuck to the entire sheet. 🤬 However, if that’s not what you used. If you used waterslide paper specifically for inkjet printers in your laser printer, then that’s a little trickier to figure out. I would try getting a different brand of inkjet waterslide paper and see if that solves the problem. Another possibility is that somehow too much laser toner got onto the waterslide paper when you printed, and the foil basically stuck to everything. If you have a color laser printer, try printing with your printer set to monotone black (if that’s an option in your printer settings). Color laser printers make black by using all of the toner colors, so it’s not really a true black and might mess things up a bit. I’m sorry don’t have a more definitive solution, but see if a different brand of inkjet waterslide decal paper helps, and please come back and let us know!

      Ohhhh, ok, yes, that’s definitely the problem. It has to be inkjet waterslide paper, because waterslide paper made for laser printers is too sticky when it’s heated up with the foil, so - as you found out - the foil sticks to the entire thing. If you rewatch this video at about the 1:19 minute mark, I do say that it has to be inkjet waterslide paper that you use in a laser printer. That’s the key. So you should be all set then. Good luck 😊

    Got my first aqua cast this weekend and wasted half a big tube of black acrylic paint and all i got was a mid-grey ... glad i found your channel, i'll have to find something similar to this concrete pigment. Liked and subbed :)

      Oh I feel your lack-of-black pain 🖤 this is definitely a downfall for what is otherwise an awesome casting product. Because I’m in the US and getting items from Eli-chem in the UK is pricey, I still haven’t tried their black colorant. I hope you find the magic black!!

      Yeah, I know that’s a real problem for folks with creating this particular type of waterslide. The one workaround that another viewer suggested is to put your graphic print file(s) onto a flash or thumb drive, and take that plus some of the inkjet waterslide paper to a business service place like Kinkos. They can print your graphics onto the waterslide paper using their laser copier, which uses the same black toner. Then you take those prints home and do the foiling yourself with a laminator or minc foiling machine. It’s obviously more work but quite a bit cheaper than buying a laser printer.

      Thank you! Isn’t it great stuff to work with?? Honestly, after trying a bunch of different things like Brusho crystals, acrylic inks, acrylic paints, mica powder, alcohol ink, etc, I think the best colorants are the ones made specifically for Aqua Cast by eli-chem or similar casting compound colorants like for Jesmonite. If you find anything better, let me know 😁

    • @LuxindasOtherObsessions
      @LuxindasOtherObsessions Рік тому

      Unfortunately, it won’t. The thing that the foil sticks to is the black laser toner. Another option is to have a thumbnail drive with your design saved on it and take it to a place like Kinkos where they can print it out on a laser copier so you’ll have it printed with the correct toner.
