    I love the flute stab at the end. It fits so well with your aesthetic. When you do your two-part mold, that’ll give you the opportunity to brush resin in the mold to get those pesky bubbles out before you pour the rest of the resin in.

    • @kbowler9266
      @kbowler9266 4 роки тому

    • @EllenJB
      @EllenJB 4 роки тому +2

      Some resins you can run a lighter over them to get the bubbles out. I also get a little beading needle sometimes and pop bubbles with that.

      I KNEW IT!! It's so subtle I was starting to wonder if I'd just never noticed it before.
      Also, I feel like "Clay Gray" would be a great name for this big froggy fella! It has this sense of gravitas about it. Like he could be walking down the street to get some groceries and people passing by could be like "Whoa, is that Clay Gray?? I thought he was in outer space fighting alien baddies or somesuch." But nope. He's just nippin' down to Krogers to grab some celery.

    @Bruno-bs6iu 3 роки тому

    Hey CraftsMan, CraftsBoy over here, we use a vacuum chamber to remove bubbles , when pulling the vacuum the bubbles increase in size , thus increasing the chance of them floating to the surface, and when you go back to normal pressure before the mix cures, the resulting bubbles are even tinier due to the 1 ATM pressure pushing them together. I love you channel man, keep it up!
