Here are the steps and some tricks that I use to make water bases for my minis! (〃´▽`〃)

Thank you @lisuune for asking!~☆ I hope this will be of help!

1st step is to decide what the base "water" colour is!

For murky pounds you can use browns and beige, for a swamp, I use dark greens, olive, and sepia, for deep water the best would be shades of blue, depending of the depth that you want.

I'll use this mini as an example. I had some fun pouring cheap acrylics mixed with regular white/school glue (not obligatory, but I added a drop of silicone oil for the eye effects). I cut a plastic bag in two and let the acrylics dry. After acrylics dry, they turn to plastic, which is easy to cut and glued on the base.

(I need to flip my cutting mate, sorry for the mess (ó﹏ò｡))

Always let painrs dry in a well ventilated place.

2nd step is to decide what sort of "water" you shall use.

I am mostly using two materials, but there are a few others as well. I never tried them, but I read that people use transparent glue, varnish medium, or medium gel. I personally have experience with resin (both UV and regular epoxy resin) and clear acrylic.

(! Always work in a well ventilated space with resin ! It is super important, the fumes are toxic! Wearing gloves with resin is a must!)

When pouring, you can use a silicone mold for the base, or as my silly ass did the first time, use a little tape to create a dam (this only works if you intend to pour just a little).

Depending on how much you need, you can use: acrylic and epoxy resin for projects where you need a lot. Those allow you to pour multiple layers that will merge marvellously!

The trick is to be patient to let it dry, and pour very slowly to avoid air bubbles. Usually, a spritz or spray of alcohol is enough to eliminate the surface bubbles!

While acrylic is way safer and friendly for beginners, resin allows you to do neat tricks.

Use UV resin when you don't have to use a lot, because it doesn't layer as nicely as the regular one that needs to dry to gel (harden).

You can leave the UV resin under sunlight, and it will harden, or you can use an UV lamp, or flashlight, which will cause it to harden in seconds!

I made here a watter ripping by using a compressed air can and curing as it was blown into place. (*sensible chuckle*).

If you have fishing wire or transparent tread, you can pour a few drops on it and cure it for a cute splash effect!

As an extra, I use putty to make the "solid ground". I really like the Green Stuff world rolling pins, but a 3D printed one can work just as fine! (Don't forget to cover them with sculptor vaseline, or just water. For me, I prefer starch, that is why mine are so dusty)

I saw some beautiful basing kits from GSW, that I will absolutely buy to try. They have them for all kinds of terrain, including water, swamps, lava etc.

Happy basing !~♡

More dye adventures with Zonda Journey, Zephyr Slip alt deco

Okay, this is going to be a bit text heavy and process oriented, and there's no snazzy new design to show off, just sharing my process a bit as it develops. 

April wanted her copy of Zephyr Slip in custom colors, so following Transformers redeco tradition, Zephyr now has a sister, Zonda Journey. (The Zonda is a wind from the mountains in Argentina, though far to the west of the locale where Austroraptor was discovered.)

The build was a mixed success but a learning experience in my pursuit of a dying process that results in uniform, predictable, and durable color. 

Aside from a more stable kickstand, Zonda's design didn't change much from Zephyr's. For ease of dying and painting, the scooter floor, wing insets, and nasal / maxilla area were all separate pieces this time and glued into place with two-part epoxy, but not much else has changed in the model.

The build does differ from Zephyr Slip in that several of Zonda's joints use clear polyurethane rods in place of ABS ones, most importantly in the feet and tail. These have to be threaded into place and cut, but they're compliant, so while posing is a little spongy, they support more weight with more stability and absorb some shock, making the figure less likely to tip over from bumping the shelf. 

But back to the dyes. Details like the inside of Zonda's headlights and taillights, and her claw emblem, pinstripes, face details, and rims are painted, and as usual she has paper decals for her eyes and console. But the bulk of her color, everything magenta, purple, or black, is dyed. I'm going to work through those in reverse order here, black, purple, magenta. 

Some of the black parts were printed in stock black resin, like the wheels, but I've had difficulty with failed prints using it, and elements like the black sections of the tail and head where I've used white resin and dyed it black end up with a uniform, more satin finish, so I think that I'm going to prefer that method from now on.

Using black ink for brushed-in details like the shoe treads works, but it's risky, because the ink can sometimes find the grain of the printed surface and wick away where I don't want it. Anywhere I intend to do this on future models will require a deep trench in the model to capture the ink, similar to the grooves used for Zonda's pinstriping seen on the part above. 

Zonda's darker purple elements could have been more uniform with a couple more tries. Brushing the ink on with any color but black leaves a patchy, cloudy surface, and dying in a bath requires far too much ink.  Workbenchmaniac suggested using an airbrush to apply the ink, and that seems to work very well, with a lot less waste than a bath and much more uniform results than brushing, so with a bit more practice, that might be my go-to method for dying parts, especially with a layer of clearcoat on top as here.

Zonda's magenta parts were simply printed in color, but I ran into a novel problem right away that I didn't solve at all: she was never intended to be magenta in the first place. The dyed liquid resin was lavender. 

I already knew from working on Nova that dying liquid resin would really only work for pastel colors, and that the color after curing wouldn't quite match the liquid form. Nova's pink was also a little less punchy and fluorescent after printing. But I wasn't prepared for the wild swing around the color wheel this dye underwent with printing and curing. 

I've read that alcohol dyes are ironically susceptible to UV photodegradation, but I'm not convinced that's what's at work here. In fact, all of Zonda's headlights and taillights have clear UV resin poured in and cured in place after painting, which means that areas of both the magenta and the surface-dyed purple have been exposed to much longer UV blasting with no visible effect. 

So I've learned some things from this process. I think the most reliable tools in my kit in relation to dye are brushed black dye and airbrushed everything else. Airbrushing gives me bright and predictable colors, and with practice I can make them pretty uniform. Black dye, which is always uniform and can go over any other color, is a handy tool for detailing as long as the model is prepared with grooves to control the spread. And breaking elements down into parts that can be dyed separately continues to be a reliable and useful step that saves much more workbench time than it takes in Blender time.

As for Zonda Journey, I have a lot of things to improve on for next time, but I'm reasonably happy with the result for now, and April is happy with her, which is what counts.

(Mary is lying on the crates, rope tying the body parts together in their splay to give the reinforcements time to settle and harden. The wood glue had dried a while ago, and now it was time for the resin.)

(The fluid crested down the edge of the bucket, folding among itself as it began to settle in the wounds, reinforcing the structure.)

(The doll kept humming a lullaby of a tune as she worked, ocasionally whispering words of comfort to the puppet's prone form.)

(Overtop of the deep blue went the clear resin, gently over each part, a paint-thin layer of protection from the elements to blend over top the gashes in wood.)

Commercial Epoxy Floors vs Traditional Flooring: Which is Better?

When it comes to flooring options, the choices seem endless. Homeowners and business owners alike are often torn between traditional flooring materials like tile or hardwood and innovative solutions like epoxy floors. The debate over "Commercial Epoxy Floors vs Traditional Flooring: Which is Better?" can be overwhelming. In this article, we'll delve deep into the pros and cons of both flooring types, helping you make an informed decision.

Understanding Commercial Epoxy Floors What are Commercial Epoxy Floors?

Commercial epoxy floors are a high-performance flooring solution comprised of a combination of resin and hardeners that create a durable surface. Commonly applied in commercial settings such as warehouses, retail spaces, and even residential garages, these floors can withstand heavy traffic and harsh conditions. The seamless finish not only enhances aesthetics but also provides excellent resistance to chemicals and stains.

The Science Behind Epoxy Flooring

Epoxy for floors involves a chemical reaction between the resin and hardener that leads to a robust material that bonds well with concrete surfaces. This makes epoxy coatings for concrete floors an attractive option for those looking for long-lasting durability.

Types of Commercial Epoxy Floors Standard Epoxy Coatings: Usually 2-3 mm thick, ideal for light to moderate foot traffic. Metallic Epoxy Floors: Known for their eye-catching aesthetics; these floors feature metallic pigments that create a three-dimensional effect. Flake Epoxy Floors: Incorporate colored chips or flakes mixed into the epoxy during application, providing additional texture and design options. Application Process of Commercial Epoxy Floors

Installing commercial epoxy floors requires several steps:

Preparation: Surface cleaning and repair are vital to ensure proper adhesion. Priming: A primer coat is applied to enhance bonding. Mixing: The resin and hardener are combined based on specific ratios. Application: The mixture is poured onto the floor and spread evenly using rollers or squeegees. Curing: Allowing the epoxy to cure properly ensures maximum durability. Exploring Traditional Flooring Options What Constitutes Traditional Flooring?

Traditional flooring encompasses various materials such as hardwood, tile, laminate, vinyl, and carpet. Each of these materials has its unique characteristics, benefits, and drawbacks that cater to different aesthetic preferences and functional needs.

Foun­da­tion Crack Repair Meth­ods

Poured concrete foundations can crack for several reasons, and we recently shared an article outlining these causes. In this post, we will explore the various crack repair options available, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of each method.

Before diving into the specifics of repair techniques, it’s essential to emphasize that foundation crack repairs should be handled by a professional basement waterproofing company—no exceptions. Handymen and plumbers typically lack the necessary qualifications for these jobs. Conversely, waterproofers are not suited for tasks like hanging drywall or installing water heaters; it all hinges on the company's experience and expertise standing behind the repair.

Cracks in foundations can be sealed from either the interior or exterior. When performed correctly, both methods can be equally effective. If obstacles like decks or patios exist, or if your basement remains unfinished, sealing from the inside is more common. Conversely, if drywall or paneling is present, or if a furnace obstructs access, the exterior sealing method may be preferred.

Interior foundation crack repair has evolved significantly from the old method of "chipping it out and patching it." This involved using a rotary chipping hammer to create a V-shaped groove a few inches deep along the crack and patching it with hydraulic cement. Unfortunately, this method often didn’t endure well since it didn't fill the crack entirely to the outer soil, and hydraulic cement lacks the strength and durability needed.

Now, crack injection is the favored technique for interior foundation repairs. You may have heard about "epoxy injection" or "urethane injection." This process involves sealing the crack's inside face with an epoxy paste and injecting a resin (epoxy or urethane) that fills the entire crack to the external soil. We typically favor urethanes due to their flexibility and their effectiveness for waterproofing, whereas epoxy is better suited to structural concerns.

Externally, some homeowners still believe that the best method for fixing foundation wall cracks is from the outside. This mindset is often held by those from an older generation, before crack injection gained popularity. Repairing from the exterior remains a sound approach, especially when compared to a hydraulic cement patch.

To effectively seal a crack from the exterior, the adjoining earth must be excavated to expose the crack entirely from the top of the wall down to the footing. While some companies might simply dig a large hole, we prefer a less disruptive method using a post hole digger, typically creating a hole about 8 to 12 inches in diameter.

This method minimizes disruption to your landscaping, as there is no need for extensive excavation. After fully exposing the crack from top to bottom, we fill the hole with granular clay, forming an impermeable water barrier that prevents further moisture intrusion.

Guide to Crafting and Polishing Resin Table Tops

Resin tables have become popular for homeowners across the UK, offering an exceptional blend of beauty, durability, and versatility. Whether a sleek poly resin coffee table or a custom dining table featuring embedded elements, resin tables are perfect for adding a creative and functional touch to various interior styles.

A Look at Resin Table Styles and Trends

Resin tables come in various styles, each bringing its unique appeal. From a resin and wood dining table that adds a touch of elegance to your dining space to a resin coffee table with hidden storage for added functionality, resin furniture effortlessly merges style with sturdiness. In the UK, resin tables with embedded items like coins, flowers, or even stones are particularly in demand. For example, the vibrant pink epoxy table and the rustic pine resin table allow homeowners to showcase their personal tastes and artistic creativity.

Choosing the Right Resin for Your Table

Selecting the correct resin type is crucial for achieving your resin project's desired strength, clarity, and finish.

Epoxy Resin: This is a top choice for its crystal-clear finish and strength. It's ideal for DIY enthusiasts working on smaller projects like coffee tables or decorative resin items. Its clarity makes it perfect for embedding objects like flowers, coins, or shells in projects like koi ponds or inlay tables.

Polyester Resin: Durable and affordable, polyester resin is an excellent option for outdoor furniture like patio tables. It's commonly used for larger pieces like resin dining tables or BBQ tables. However, it may turn yellow over time if exposed to sunlight for extended periods.

Poly Resin: Lightweight and easy to work with, polyresin is often used for smaller tables, such as coffee or end tables. It's particularly suited for decorative projects with small items embedded within the resin, making it an excellent choice for resin art tables.

Selecting the Base Material for Your Resin Table

The choice of base material impacts the table's overall look, weight, and longevity.

Wood: Wood is a classic choice in live-edge or wood-filled resin tables. It adds a natural, rustic charm that pairs beautifully with a glossy resin surface, making it perfect for creating statement dining tables.

Concrete: For an industrial, modern aesthetic, concrete is a durable option frequently seen in outdoor settings. It is commonly used in gardens or patio furniture, providing a robust base to withstand the elements.

Stone and Timber: If you're after a rugged and natural vibe, stone or timber bases are an excellent option. The combination of resin and these materials results in a durable and aesthetically appealing table.

Preparing Your Table for Resin Pouring

Preparation is essential for achieving a flawless resin surface. Here's a step-by-step guide to ensure your table is ready for resin application.

Sanding and Cleaning the Surface: Start by sanding the table base. For wood, use fine-grit sandpaper, and for tougher materials like concrete or stone, use coarse-grit. This step ensures a smooth surface for the resin to bond effectively. After sanding, clean the surface with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris, then allow it to dry completely.

Adding Embedded Elements: To personalize your table, consider embedding decorative items like bottle caps, coins, or flowers. As seen in resin bottle cap tables, arranging these elements beneath a clear resin layer adds a personal and creative touch to your project.

Step-by-Step Guide to Pouring Resin

Pouring resin requires attention to detail, but following these steps will help you achieve a professional-looking finish.

Mixing the Resin: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions to avoid common issues like bubbling or clouding. For larger tables, such as dining or conference tables, ensure the resin is mixed thoroughly to ensure an even and clear finish.

Pouring Techniques: For deep or multi-layered tables, such as river or island tables, pour the resin in stages to avoid overheating. This also allows for gradually embedding decorative items, ideal for tables with intricate designs, like chess or anchor-themed tables.

Eliminating Bubbles: Gently run a heat gun or torch over the surface of the resin to eliminate any trapped air bubbles. This is a crucial step, especially for projects requiring clarity, such as resin crystal tables.

Polishing Resin Tables for a High-Gloss Finish

Polishing is the final step that gives your resin table its signature shine. This process enhances the overall aesthetic and highlights the details of embedded elements.

Choosing Polish and Tools: Select a polish specifically formulated for resin. Use a buffing machine and polishing pads to achieve a mirror-like finish, especially on larger surfaces like dining or coffee tables.

Polishing Techniques: To smooth the surface, begin by wet sanding with progressively finer grit sandpaper. After sanding, a polishing compound buffs the surface to a high-gloss sheen. This method works well for all table sizes, from small bedside tables to large dining pieces.

Essential Tips for Polishing Resin Tables

Here are some tips to ensure your resin table maintains flawless shine over time. When polishing, always apply even pressure to avoid creating swirl marks on the surface. Regular polishing is recommended, especially for tables that experience frequent use, to keep them looking pristine.

Safety Precautions for Polishing Resin

When working with resin, always ensure you are in a well-ventilated area. Use protective gear such as gloves and masks to avoid inhaling fumes or skin contact. Polishing can create a mess, so covering the surrounding area with a protective sheet is a good idea.

Maintaining Your Resin Table

Proper care ensures that your resin table remains in excellent condition for years.

Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and mild cleanser for regular cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals, particularly for clear resin tables, to prevent damaging the finish.

UV Protection: If your resin table is exposed to sunlight, such as in outdoor settings, apply a UV-protective spray regularly to prevent yellowing and discoloration.

Popular Resin Table Styles in the UK

Resin tables have used various styles to match different interior aesthetics, from modern to rustic.

Embedded Art: A growing trend is embedding decorative items like flowers, coins, or personal mementos into the resin. Tables with these designs, such as floral or coin tables, offer a one-of-a-kind appeal.

Rustic and Natural: Combining resin with natural elements like wood or stone creates a timeless, rustic charm. Styles like pinecone resin tables or reclaimed wood tables are perfect for adding warmth and character to any space.

Bold Colours: UK homeowners increasingly choose vibrant colors to make a statement in their home décor. For instance, a bright red resin table can serve as an eye-catching centerpiece in any room.

Conclusion

Resin tables offer an extraordinary way to blend functionality with artistic design, making them a great addition to any home. Using the right techniques and materials, such as those offered by Mayyari, you can craft a resin table that reflects your unique style and stands the test of time. Whether a rustic resin dining table or a vibrant coffee table, your resin creation will be a conversation piece for years.

How to Clean Concrete Floors the Right Way and Tackle Tough Stains

Concrete floors are known for being an extremely resilient surface; but even they can get dirty from dust, debris and sticky spills over time and require regular cleaning to look their best. There are some easy steps you can follow to restore the appearance of your newly-resurfaced floor or tackle stains in your garage to make concrete look brand new again.

Find out how to clean Residential Polished Concrete Floors with our guide!

Hoe often to Clean Concrete Floors

Clean interior concrete floors (whether sealed, polished, stained, or painted) every two weeks (or as necessary when dirt and grime begin to build up). Plan on deep cleaning unsealed concrete garage floors at least once annually along with stain removal as necessary.

Before You Begin

In order to protect and clean concrete floors effectively, it is crucial that you understand their type of finish. Any stains or spills should be immediately addressed so as to minimize potential damage.

Homeowners frequently make use of these concrete floor treatments:

Sealed: Sealed concrete is coated with acrylic resins, penetrating silicates, epoxy or urethanes to make it nonporous and stain-resistant.

Polished: Modern Polished Concrete Floors are both wet and dry to produce a glossy, wax-free surface that never requires recoating or waxing, with multiple sheen levels available that mimic marble, granite or any other polished stone surfaces. Furthermore, staining allows the final appearance to match that desired look of Polished Concrete Flooring containing stones such as marble and granite.

Stained: If grey isn't your go-to hue, there are many other stains available to color freshly laid or existing concrete surfaces. Stains penetrate deeply and permanently color both surfaces; their finish can then either be sealed over or left unsealed for easy maintenance.

Painted: Though concrete tends to accept stains easily, achieving an oil- or latex paint surface that lasts can be more challenging. Concrete Sealing Salt Lake City may prevent proper adhesion between paint layers; otherwise peeling could occur.

Unsealed Concrete: Poured concrete without additional treatment is known as unsealed, meaning its surface remains porous and susceptible to staining from liquid-based substances such as oil. You will require equipment and tools for this task such as brooms, dust mops or vacuum cleaners as well as wet mop.

How to Clean Sealed Concrete Floors

Clean Away Surface Dust and Debris

Sweep, vacuum or dust mop the floor regularly to help avoid scratches from dirt and grit, helping protect its finish and prolong its longevity.

Create a Cleaning Solution and Mop

Mix 2 gallons of warm water with 2 teaspoons of dishwashing liquid in a bucket or sink before mopping with it on your floor.

Rinse and Dry

Repeat Step 3 using clean water and a wet mop to rinse away any leftover soapy residue from the floor and allow the air to dry the floor completely.

[saberamane]

So I've been doing some calculations on what costs/selling would be for resin stuff.

For a gallon of resin (which is actually .5 gallon epoxy, and .5 gallon hardener) costs about $45 and up, more expensive for 'deep pour' resin (which is what should be used in those cute dragon molds). So just to cover the costs of resin, I would have to charge $2.59 per ounce of resin used. One of the cute dragon molds is 9.4 ounces.

So 9.4 x $2.59 = $24.34 for just 1, that's not counting all 3 in the set. Plus charge for time, mica powder, dyes or anything else used... I don't think people would really buy that. Now, not all 3 of those dragon's are the exact same ounces, there's some variation, and they are about 4 inches tall, but selling them with this pricing would not happen. Others on etsy are selling them for way cheaper. Like $30 for all 3.

Maybe I could offer them as gifts for first time gold members on my ko-fi at first, and when (more like if) I get a better income I can make them for my etsy shop??

The trays I made will be cheaper I think, and they can actually be used for stuff. Would people like them more??

Any opinions guys?

In the world of construction, renovation, and artistic expression, a material known as epoxy resin has emerged as a transformative force. Within this realm, there exists a dedicated group of artisans and craftsmen, affectionately dubbed the "Epoxy Guys," who have mastered the art of manipulating this versatile substance. These artisans combine skill, creativity, and a deep understanding of their medium to produce stunning works of art, functional installations, and durable surfaces. Let's delve into the realm of the Epoxy Guys and explore the magic they weave with resin.

At its core, epoxy resin is a thermosetting polymer that, when mixed with a hardener, undergoes a chemical reaction resulting in a durable, glossy finish. What sets the Epoxy Guys apart is their ability to harness the fluid nature of epoxy resin, turning it into a medium for creativity and innovation. Whether it's coating countertops, crafting intricate tabletops, or designing bespoke art pieces, these artisans approach each project with a blend of technical expertise and artistic vision.

One of the hallmarks of the Epoxy Guys is their attention to detail. Every project begins with meticulous planning and preparation, ensuring that the surface is clean, level, and primed for the application of epoxy. This preparation phase is crucial, as even the smallest imperfections can mar the final result. With a keen eye for perfection, these craftsmen take the time to address any flaws and create a flawless canvas for their work.

Once the groundwork is laid, the Epoxy Guys begin the mesmerizing process of pouring and manipulating the resin. With steady hands and precise movements, they carefully pour the liquid resin onto the surface, guiding it to form smooth, even layers. But it's not just about pouring resin; it's about controlling it, coaxing it to flow and settle in just the right way. This is where the true artistry comes into play, as each piece requires a delicate balance of technique and intuition.

As the resin cures, it undergoes a remarkable transformation, solidifying into a durable, glass-like finish. But for the Epoxy Guys, the journey doesn't end there. With sandpaper, polishers, and a keen sense of craftsmanship, they refine and perfect the surface, smoothing out any imperfections and enhancing its luster. The result is a flawless finish that captivates the eye and begs to be touched.

What sets the work of the Epoxy Guys apart is their boundless creativity. From swirling galaxies suspended in tabletops to shimmering metallic accents adorning countertops, these artisans push the boundaries of what's possible with epoxy resin. Drawing inspiration from nature, technology, and their own imaginations, they create pieces that are as unique as they are stunning. And with a seemingly endless array of colors, additives, and techniques at their disposal, the possibilities are truly limitless.

But perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the Epoxy Guys' work is its versatility. Epoxy resin can be used to create everything from functional surfaces to decorative accents, making it a favorite among homeowners, designers, and artists alike. Whether it's transforming a drab concrete floor into a dazzling work of art or crafting custom furniture that doubles as a conversation piece, these artisans have mastered the art of elevating everyday spaces into something extraordinary.

In a world where mass-produced, cookie-cutter designs abound, the work of the Epoxy Guys stands as a testament to the enduring power of craftsmanship and creativity. With their skill, dedication, and boundless imagination, they breathe life into a humble material, transforming it into something truly extraordinary. So the next time you encounter a stunning epoxy creation, take a moment to appreciate the mastery of the Epoxy Guys who brought it to life.
