      I've been dying to find a way to fill my numbers with holo glitter. Do you think there's a way to achieve that with this technique? It has to be super runny to fill the numbers but it can't be thick like resin, otherwise you lose the sunken numbers. I've been scratching my head for over a year on how to achieve this... the only way that's sort of worked is by getting those cheesy glitter glue sticks you can get at craft stores. I would literally spread that on a shop towel and smear the dice face in circles until the cavity picks up most of the sticky glitter but none of the actual liquid glue(soaked by the towel). Then you carefully wash the face with alcohol & q-tip... but by god it's a messy process, takes forever and you lose some of the glitter over time as the glue dries out. Thoughts?

    Maybe they use glycerin, or something similar? Not water but behaves like it, popular in toys with "water" on the inside, especially with suspensions.

    My thoughts on the mica powders color: they probably use silver-ish glitter and just use powdered dye to get it colored.
    And you should just use alcohol to disperse the cleaned mica powder, since it is proven to work, regardless of its behavior regarding the surface tension.

    • @Rybonator

      Mica is a mineral with very glittery properties. I used to live where it was everywhere when I went hiking. Nature's glitter. It is a rock that shears into paper thin layers that are very translucent and shiny.
      I don't have much experience with mica powder, but it might be that it is actually a mix of pigment and mica.

      only direct issue with the gelatin is that, much like jell-o shots, if too much, it may solidify the mixture.

  • @ashleya9353
    @ashleya9353 3 роки тому +9

    Hi, I just found this video and had a suggestion from a different art form. I think instead of trying to clean the mica powders in a coffee filter, you might do a series of washes, where you mix the powder with a much larger quantity of water in a large container until incorporated, let the majority of the mica settle, and then pour off the colored wash water. I do it with transparent vitreous enamels (powdered glass) probably 4-5 times until the water runs clear to filter out parts of the powder that are too fine, because those fines will cause the final result to be cloudy and lacking in clarity. I wonder if it would work the same for your mica powders. Sounds like you found some solutions that worked for you, but I thought the suggestion might be helpful (and have a little less waste end up in your filters) if you wanted to work on that little bit of cloudiness and color bleed. I love your work.

  • @clarissadarling2190

    @JulianBabad 3 роки тому +9

    Oh my gosh-very worthwhile endeavor, *please* do a follow-up.
    The whole “alcohol without the lack of surface tension” problem is quite tricky. I did some very ‘Chemistry for Dummies’-level research and I think you should try two things:
    1. Alcohol with [some amount] of electrolytes added. Perhaps the powders people buy to put in their drinks would work(?)
    2. Ethylene glycol (yes, as in old-timey antifreeze) instead of alcohol; it’s still in the alcohol family, but it’s much more viscous. The toxicity might be a concern, though...
    Viable to try, someday, you think?

    They don't sell them individually anymore? They sell it at my local hobby lobby in a dropper of its own so there's an option if you're looking for it.
    (Edit: All hobby lobbys are cookie cutter from each other so if one has something, then they should all have it. It's in the art department next to all the Amsterdam Acrylic Inks. Under Koi watercolors. The layout changes throughout the year, and as the art head, I haven't received any notification of it being moved or deleted so it should be there for awhile. As far as other stores go, I am not sure if they carry it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did since I can't imagine HL would have exclusivity to that.)

    • @chemify
      @chemify 3 роки тому

      ​@@Rybonator But please consider, that 99% on a bottle of any chemical is the purity. If you are buying for example 95% isopropyl alcohol (propan-2-ol) this means that 5% of your solution are other but similar alcohols (n-propanol in this case). Purification is an expansive process, so if you just don't need such high purity (99% is not the end) you just stop and sell it "dirty"... You can ofcourse just mix your pure alcohol with some water to obtain your desired concentration.
      In your case it seems like isopropyl alcohol has a "too good" solubility in your resin and a lower surface tension than the original glitter additive. I don't know what excact type of resin you are using (i mean the chemical point of view, not the brand), but you could try a few things now: - use a higher polarity alcohol like ethanol or mix your isopropyl alcohol with water (as water is more polar)... Or use a less polar solvent like butan-1-ol (which is more toxic than isopropyl alcohol).
      You could also try to use a mixture of ethanol, isopropyl alcohol or butan-1ol and ethylene glycol, which is a little bit more viscous than those mono alcohols.... If you need a even higher viscosity try glycerol (Propane-1,2,3-triol) and mix it with some ethanol, that might work.
      One more thing: The washing process just washes of most of your color pigment of the original glitter. In your case glitter is made mainly from mica - a mineral (stone). This mica is indeed colorless. That's why the original liquid glitter additive is silver and not colored :D So you could just get some normal mica powder to yield the silver looking one instead of washing color pigments off your colored mica :D

    I've done a bit of research into this researching MSDSs and reading a bunch of recipes for inks and paints. While I still haven't nailed the formula exactly where I want it, it seems that a few liquid glitter additives are a balance of pigment (mica powder), 90-99% alcohol, and a Gloss Paint Medium (possibly a varnish would work better, haven't tested), the latter will thicken the mix just enough to keep the glitter suspended for a slightly longer working time and might be negligible in resin (tests inconclusive, but the medium *seems* to have a tiny bit less settled glitter at the bottom... could be me mixing poorly/inconsistently?). Maybe metallic model paints could also work if you want the extra pigments from the paint in there?
    Thanks for this video, though! I was pulling out my hair trying to get a cleaer mix and that washing technique is going to be a life-saver. Tip: Use a square container with the round sifter/strainer so the evaporated water vents out the corners.

Also elmers has these temperature sensitive color change glued and I kind of want to see if I can extract that. If I can get a decent coupon, that is.

We've purchased "silver additive" a few times from a few vendors, but they've sent us "iridescent additive" instead, so we have something like a dozen bottles of that because they all apologize and tell us to keep it. It's also neat, but more of a shimmer than a glitter and the ultra fine glitter has a more similar effect to the silver additive.
