  • Because I lost my cat of 13 years this week, I truly didn't feel up to anything more complex than mixing up some resin and pouring it into a mold. Then I padded the video a little by unmolding a whole bunch of molds that I keep around the studio for when I have extra resin mixed up that I don't want to waste. Thank you for watching and understanding - I appreciate it! I hope to have something a little more interesting to show you next week. See my previous mass-unmolding video here: • So What Happens To All...

    I'm a huge fan of yours. I can hear the heartache in your voice, my deepest condolences. I was actually searching UA-cam to see how to pour a square mold 8" by 8" by 3" deep. We just lost our dog of 11 years and I would like to put his collar and some momentous in this mold. Do I have to do layers, or can I pour all at once with this depth? Any suggestions or tutorials would be greatly appreciated 🙂

      Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss! I lost my BF-dog in June of 2020, and I still haven't recovered at all... Loss of a pet is just gutting. I would get a good casting deep-depth resin for something like that so you don't have to do layers (which can end up showing the layer lines). Personally, I love KS Resin's Liquid Cast (www.ksresin.com/products/liquid-cast-deep-pour 5% discount with code "LuxSwirl"). It seems relatively thick as you mix it because it's a 1:1 ratio, but it gives up its bubbles so beautifully! There is also this Deep Pour Casting Resin from Amazon: amzn.to/3efen3z that takes much longer to set up, but is also mostly bubble free.

    I’m so sorry about your kitty. I just had to put down my 14 year old dog and my other dog is suffering as well. My question is people always say that you can’t pour more than 1/4 inch unless it’s deep pour resin, but I’ve been filling my skull up 1/2 way and things are fine. Was this deep pour resin you used or 1:1 resin?

    • @LuxindasOtherObsessions
      @LuxindasOtherObsessions  2 роки тому +1

      Oh, I’m so sorry about your dog. 🌈🐾💔 I lost my best friend dog two years ago, and my heart is still shredded… Anyway, the resin I’ve been using for this skull mold and various similar sized sphere molds is KS Resin’s Liquid Cast Deep Pour. It’s rated for 2” but behaves perfectly in molds 5” deep. It is a 1:1 and it’s not super thin, but it amazingly gives up its bubbles better than any other casting resin I’ve tried. KS is having a sale for the rest of today, and the resin is always free shipping.

  • @FTWarr
    @FTWarr Рік тому +1

    I've done some countertops but was looking at doing some casting pours. Do you have to put a release on the molds? Also what was in the dish while you were taking them out? Dish soup and water?
    I really liked the feather and the skull!

    • @LuxindasOtherObsessions
      @LuxindasOtherObsessions  Рік тому +1

      Thank you!! I don't think you have to use mold release, but my understanding is that not only does it help the cast piece come out more easily, but it also helps prolong the life of the mold. Once I've demolded something, I wash out the mold with warm water and a little dish soap, then when it's dry, I spray the mold release into it again and put it away till further use. This is infinitely more important with handmade molds like you might buy on Etsy, because they wear out quite quickly. The newest commercial molds (like what Let's Resin sells) that are white and extremely durable last a lot longer without any care at all, but still I try to keep them in good shape 😊 And, yes, someone who watched a much earlier video of mine suggested demolding in soapy water to make the process easier. I've also seen other folks use a spray bottle of soapy water and just spray it down the insides of the molds after first starting to pull back an edge, and that helps also.

I’ve been wanting to dust a skull mold with a gunmetal ish color extra extra fine glitter or mica but I’ve not found the size or glitter/mica yet…but I’ve seen Chrissy from sugar and spice glitter co use the perfect color and mold, but I never got a response back from her/anyone that might know so yeah, any suggestions!??
