1. Beach Resin Coasters Class Introduction: Beach resin is so
popular right now. I am as obsessed with it as
a lot of other people are. In this class, we're
gonna be learning how to create beach resin Coasters, which are fabulous
because their artwork, but it can also be functional. Let me go show you what
we're going to be creating. These are the clusters that
we're going to be creating. You're gonna be
creating four clusters that are beach reason. We're gonna be using
some color shift powder. I don't know whether
it's because my Bridgestone is
opal or something, but I have a thing
for color shift, pretty much anything
iridescent anything. And these micro powders
that we're gonna be using have a beautiful
quality to them. They're nice and sparkly, and they also have a lovely
color shift to them. This class comes with a
supply list where our list everything that I am using
to create these coasters. So if you're wanting to
use the same supplies, you can find them through
that supply list. I also share with you the type of resin that I like to use. And you can choose
whether you want to use the same resin
or a different one. If you do choose to use a
different run different resin, you may have slightly
different results as this is what I
know works for me, but you're welcome to try it if you happen to have it on hand. Now let's go create
some beautiful posters.
2. Prepping the back of the Coasters: Before we do any resin
on our Coasters, the first thing we need to do is prep the back of
our cluster so that any resin drips can be removed
for them when we're done. Now, I have just
containers recycled from things that have
been bought at the grocery store that I like to use a prop this up
while I am working. And all of this mess below
is from past projects. So the nice thing about
that resin on there from past projects is it holds
my things together so I can have it almost as
if it's in one piece. Now, normally when I
create beach pieces, I like to put finishing wax
on the back of my piece in order to remove the
drops afterwards. You could do that with this, but I like to use something else instead and that
is liquid latex. So I'm just pouring some on
the center of the cost here, and I'm just using
a silicone brush to help push it to the size. We're not trying to
get over the edges, we're just trying to
push it to the sides. The first little bit just to
get it nicely to the sides. And then I want to
have a little bit of a thicker coat to
make it easier to get off because those
resins drops will come in. I want to say probably about
a quarter of an inch or so. It seems a little bit
tedious to start, but I promise it's going to
end up making life easier. When it comes time to
removing the drips. Need a little bit more. The brush that I'm using
is just a silicone brush. It works perfectly for pushing liquid latex wherever
I want it to go. Then I'm, when I'm done, latex will dry on this
brush and just read off. The nice thing about
using liquid latex with this is when it's dry, it's kind of a little
bit sticky and tacky. When we go flip it over into
our future isn't over top. It's going to be tacky and
grip to our containers here. Let us do this one here. For the rest of this, I'm
just going to be quiet and I will let you watch. All right. There we go.
We're going to leave it all to dry. Right now. Obviously it is
cream and opaque. When it's dry, it
goes translucent, so it's very easy to tell
when it's completely dry. You may have noticed
on this one that some of it poured down the side. If as I've been moving it,
I got some on the front, I can easily just take that off, peel it off before I pour
any residue over top. So we need to let
that dry completely.
3. How much Resin will I need?: While we're waiting for our liquid latex to dry and it takes several
hours or overnight. So this is not something that's going
to happen super quickly, but you'll be appreciative
that you did it. We're going to figure
out how much resin we're gonna need to mix
for each layer. I'm using moss epoxy resin. If you Google most
epoxy resin calculator, it comes up with this
fancy page here. These coasters or four-by-four, this calculator only measures or calculates for squares and rectangles,
that sort of thing. There's no way to measure
this for a circle, but there are four
inches across. I am going to pretend
this is eight by eight. Then this thickness is for
the thinnest possible coat, which is totally fine
for what we're doing. We want nice thin coats. It is going to tell me that I need to point to two
ounces for each layer. Now because we're doing
circles instead of squares, I'm going to make that
less when I go to make my resident and when
my next to the resin, there's Parts a and Part B indeed equal parts of each one. So I will mix less
than two ounces. I'll probably actually mix, I want to say 1.5
ounces simply because knowing from doing this for awhile when I mix
what they call four, I tend to have a
lot dripping off the side that cures on my table, so I don't need that. And these coats that we're
doing needs to be super thin. That is for the first coat, for the next codes after that, because we're doing beach waves, we're gonna do less and less. And then the final
coat is going to be just a clear coat over top of
it to even everything out. And then I'll go back to
what I made or what I mixed for the
original first layer. But we'll get to that.
When we get to that. For the first layer, probably about two ounces
an ounce and a half. I always have molds to my
side so that when I have, if I had extra resin, I just put it into moles,
I do experiments with it. It's a great way so that
it doesn't go to waste. But you can play
with it. Just try some things that you were wanting to try but
didn't really want to mix resin for try it out. Then there we go. That's how much
we're going to mix. We will see you
in the next video when this is completely cured and we pour our first layer.
4. First Resin Layer: Alright, so our liquid
latex has completely dried. You can see exactly
how different it looks once it is dry. So I'm going to turn them over. That is on the bottom. I'm using most epoxies
art pro resin. For this, you need to mix equal parts of both
part a and part B, and then you need to mix
it for three minutes. I've already done that so
that you don't have to sit there watching me mixed
resin while mixing, I did scrape down the sides regularly to make sure that
everything was evenly mixed. These cups have measurements along beside that
I've highlighted in black sharpie to make them
a little bit more legible. I'm going to add my mic, a powder to color. My resume is put it in there. I'm using this set of
chameleon Micah powders. They've got a color shift
property to the others. Really, really pretty. And I think it's gonna look
really pretty for coasters. I'm going to make
a color that is going to be more of
the sand on the beach. We're going to put it over
the entire surface just to a thin coat over the
surface before we start doing the beach waves. I've got a little bit in there. Let's mix it around. Then we'll see if I
need to add more. Obviously, if I've already added more, I can't take it away. But keep in mind too that
because the resin is clear, you're not gonna be seeing
unless you had a lot of mica tends not to
go super opaque. I'm making sure to scrape
the sides so that I'm getting everything
all mixed up there. Then if I have any
extra resonance but molds to the side that
I usually pour it into. Just so nothing goes to waste. All right, so I'm gonna
put a little bit down on each coaster and then
I'm going to use that silicon brush that I
use for the liquid latex. And I am going to
push it to the edges. And it's totally fine if
it goes over the edges. We're just trying to
get a nice thin layer to coat the surface
and I probably need to put a
little bit more on. It's probably better to go all the way to the
surface or the edges. This brush makes it really
easy to move it around. You could also use this
juristic that you were stirring your resin width. And it will go over the edges
and that's totally fine. That's why we have our
surface protected. Once we have it all
the way to the edges, we're going to use
a heat gun or I don't need that tip on
there for right now. We're going to use a heat
gun and I'm going to use low-speed and just pop all the bubbles that
are on the surface. While you're doing
that. That also keeps the resident up and it makes
it a little bit more slowly. So you'll find more
flow over the edges. Once you don't see
any more bubbles, move on to the next one. I'll do this about
every 101520 minutes or so for the first hour or
so, keep watching it. Then after that, if I see
anything on the surface of a bubble or profit, if it's particle from the air, I'll use a toothpick to
just skip it out for the first couple of hours. Go. Now we're going
to let that cure. Like I said, I'll
be just checking it every 15 minutes or
so for the first hour. And then after that,
I'll be just checking it periodically for the
first several hours. And then I will see you tomorrow and we'll
do our first wave.
5. Second Resin Layer, Creating the First Wave: Right, our first layer is
completely cured and we're ready to do our first wave. Now, do you see how this
is darker than this? It's because this was slightly
raised on a fold in on my the shower curtain that I have protecting
my space right now. It has cured, not level, but I've flattened it out with
the next couple of layers, it will end up being just fine. But just so you know, you do need to make
sure that your stuff is completely flat. And normally I do when I'm
working with a canvas, these are a little
bit harder just because they're smaller pieces. I've got my resident
all mixed according to the directions
on the package. I have two other
containers here. One is going to stay clear. Then one is going to be colored with the white
pigment for our waves. I don't need a ton. And I definitely want
to make sure that I have enough and that
I don't run out. Once again, I've got
moles to the side. If for any extra resume, just pour them into the molds. For the white, I'm just
using some pixel white here. I'm just putting a
couple of drops in and then we will mix
it and check it. When you're mixing
liquids into your resin, has an acrylic paint, the whites for the waves
and stuff like that. You want to make
sure that what you add isn't more than 10% of what the resin that is there because otherwise
your resume will not dry, clear it when it
comes to whites. I'd never have to add that much to know if you have enough, lift up your stir stick, and if it is
completely opaque on that statistic, you
are good to go. If you can still see the color of your stir stick underneath, then you need to add a little
bit more white pigment, but that is perfect. Then from our set here, I'm going to add this one
to the watercolor I have. In this step, there's three
different bluey green colors that I'm going to be
using for the water. Each one a little bit bluer or darker than the
ones previous. This one is actually
called the violet, But it's definitely got
a blue-green tone to it. It probably color shifts
to a violet color. But I've done these
beach coasters in a color shift paint before and they looked
absolutely beautiful. I'm excited to see
how this looks. I'm not concerned
with this being completely opaque because
it's meant to be water. I want it to be translucent. I want to be able to see some of the sand color underneath there. So the only thing I'm
concerned with is making sure that this is
completely stirred up. I'm scraping all the sides and the bottom to make
sure that I've got everything stirred up there. There we go. Let's get this out of the way. I'm going to put a glove on. I shouldn't have to touch this. The off chance that I
do have to touch it to move something or whatever,
you can't do it with. Just your hands, you have
to have protection on. Let's start with the blue. First thing I'm gonna do is do a bee flying like where
I want my water to end. Ish, it's going to be a little bit lower than that because we still have
to add the water or the white and we still
have to add the clear. Let's do this one here. As you can see, I tend to do both of the ones on each
layer at the same time. Alright, here we go. I'm gonna take my stir stick, move it around, just
flattened it out. Just making sure
that it's covered. If it flows down the
sides, that is perfect. Going to start
flowing on the sides when I use my heat gun anyways, simply because the heat
is going to make it thinner and more runny and it's just going to
float on the sides. Last one. I'm going to use my heat
gun quickly just to remove any bubbles
from the blue. Definitely wanted
to do this first before adding your
career or your wife. Doesn't take very long. There we go. Now, I'm going to take my clear
and I'm just going to add a thin line right at
the edge of that blue. The bottom one. Now align of the white. Again, it's just gonna
be a little thin line. Often the thinness depends on
how thick your resident is. This particular resin for me, it depends on how warm
or cool my house is. I'm going to quickly adjust, take out the bubbles just
from that clear and that way. Now I'm gonna put narrower tip on my heat gun and I'm
going to hold my heat gun as horizontal as possible to
the coasters and I'm going to blow that weighed
out. On a high-speed. You need to go back and do it again as much as you need to till it's completely blown out as much as you want. So typically when
I do beach pieces, I'll add sand dollars and starfish and that sort
of thing for coasters. It doesn't really work
though because a, the texture of those things would make the coaster
not smooth on the top. And then the other thing is
I don't have anything that's the right scale for
something this small. I'm just going to leave
it at, it's going to look pretty just as it is. But I love how the color of that water and I loved seeing this poke
through some of them. So I'll see you
tomorrow and we'll do our next wave in the next color.
6. Third Resin Layer, Second Wave: All right, Our first wave is completely cured and we're
ready for the next week. Now, I wait 24 hours between
each wave and the reason being is I choose a certain time in
the morning and my house where there's
less movement, Hobbes off at work. I know it's the time when I have the least amount of
interruptions while filming. When I go to do the next
layer, it's completely cured. You don't have to
wait that long. If you don't want to. Eight to 12 hours would probably
work for the next layer. And here's how you test it. It's not going to
work for this one because it is completely cure. Take a Q-tip or Q-Tip
toothpick or something and touch part of the wave that's going to be
covered with the next wave. If when you lift it up, there's a string coming up
with it and some of the resin comes up with it,
and it's sticky. It's not ready for
the next wave yet. If you touch it and you just leave a little bit
of an indent but nothing comes up
on the toothpick or whatever you're
using to test, then you're safe to
do the next wave. Just so you know, you don't
have to wait as long as I do. You can do it a
little bit earlier. I've got my clear resin
mixed here, ready to go. Once again. I've got two containers here. One is going to be
just for clear. Then one is going to be
for my white mixture. Now in the how much resin video or how much Resin
while I need video, I showed you how
to calculate it. That is to cover
the entire thing now because we're doing
waves that are shorter and shorter each time I do
less and less resin. So the first time I
did about two ounces. Now because we're only covering
about half the coaster, I'm doing an ounce. And once again, I
still have most of the side so that any
extras I have in my cups, I just pour them in those moles. I'm going to use
another color that's a little bit darker than the
last one is called cyan. Now you'll notice
my top two here, the blue is darker than here. That's because remember how I mentioned that I
didn't have it level. So this was thicker
and I leveled it out. That resin is a little bit
thicker than this resin, which makes the blue look
a little bit darker. But because we're
pouring waves on the couple more layers of waves, you're not going to notice that. I don't mind that some
are darker than others. I think it's pretty. But some people might
not like the fact that they're not all
exactly the same. There we go. Is that a gorgeous
color? There we go. Now let's mix the white. Only need a couple
of drops in there. I'm mixing with some wooden
skewers and it's only because I have I was cleaning up and I found them and I didn't even know what I bought them for. And I just decided
to try use them up. When I'm done with them, I lay them on my surface and then I'll trim
some of the excess off and I'll just
keep using them until the buildup gets too much. I also use regularly
silicone stir sticks and those are great
because you can pick the resin, often reuse them. But you could even use like a popsicle stick or
something if you wanted. All right. So I've got my gloved hand
on a globe on my hand. Let's do the next wave. I'm putting it about an inch or so back from the first one. I tried to make the wave shapes
different for each layer. Just to make it a little
bit more interesting, I don't want them all
exactly the same. Then if you don't
necessarily like the shape that you poured,
when you flatten it out. You can change
that a little bit. Most of it just spreads on its own and
platens on its own, it just normally happens. But for this one here to me, this is a little
bit too flat here, so I'm just going to push
it out a little bit. All we're doing, it doesn't
need to be completely flat. We're just making sure that the surface is completely covered. Once we go in with a heat
gun to pop the bowls, everything else is
going to flatten out. So we're just making sure
everything's covered. So moved some of the bubbles. Love that glucose. We go now a thin line of our clear rate
alongside that blue, our line of weight. Now these caps are
really, really bendable, so I typically try to squeeze them so the tip
is a little bit narrower, trying to control how
much white comes out. Some days it works
better than others. And I see I got a drip of
white from the top of the cup. If that happens, you
can clean it off with some isopropyl
alcohol and a Q-tip. You need to do it while
it's still liquid though it won't be able to be cleaned
off once it's cured. I did it a couple of times here. I'm going to do it after
I blew out my waves. So low speed just to
remove the bubbles. Now let's blow up the waves. Now first of all, this wave here, I
don't necessarily love what happened there. So I'm just going
to use my stuff just to make it a
shape I like better. Then I've got my isopropyl
alcohol and I've got a Q tip. I'm gonna do is clean that up. Anytime I go back, I use a new site of my
Q-tip because I don't want to be spreading
the white out. Grab another one to paint
the rest of that one up. So it cleans up super
quick and easy. But you have to catch it
while it's still wet. Before it's cured. The odd time sometimes that
isopropyl alcohol will leave a little bit of a mark
on the top of the resin. This, these clusters are
getting a flood coat on. We're completely done. So that's going to be
completely covered by that. There we go. I'm gonna let those cure. I'll see you tomorrow.
We'll do the last wave.
7. Fourth Resin Layer, Third Wave: All right, So now
we're ready to do our third layer of resident. I've got my clear stuff
already mixed up. Going to pour some into the
container for the white. Then some into the
container for the clear. Then we'll mix up the blue. So the last blue
I have is called, well, this is going to be
the darkest of the blues. One thing I wanted to mention
while I'm mixing this up is at the end
of the last video, I cleaned up that white
those white spots. And the reason I cleaned them up is because they were visible. Now, what you probably don't
know because you probably can't see is there's actually
a clear one right here. It's a little street
from when I was doing my second wave. Because these coasters
are going to have a flood coat at the end
covering the entire thing. I just left it because
it's not going to be visible at all and you probably didn't even
see it on camera. I wonder if this whole thing
is glued to my table or my shower curtain that I have covering my
table right now. So I'm not going to be
able to lift it up, but it's not visible
to the camera, but it would be visible
and I wouldn't want to leave it like that if I wasn't
adding a flood coat to it. If by chance you get
a cover or a drop or something of clear knowing that we're gonna do a
flood code at the end. I didn't bother cleaning it up. You don't have to
clean up. If it really bothers you, you can. But it's going to be completely, you're never gonna know it's
there once we are done. But anything that's gonna
be visible absolutely. That we clean it up
as soon as I saw it. Appears that color
mixed up right there. Such a pretty color. I love these micro
powders are so pretty. Let's add a couple of drops of white for our white mixture. Not a whole lot of weight here, but I'm not going to need
a whole lot of weight. Probably should have put more in that container just to make it easier to pour out of there. But rather than mixing up a whole new batch,
it's too late now. Alright, so last layer. Once again, I'm gonna
put it about an inch back from last one we did. Again, I give my wave at different profile
from the one before. Personally, I just think
that looks better. Then use your stir stick
to make sure it is on all spread
around that one is, at first, one is already done, it's done its job on its own. Here we go. Let's get bubbled out of there. Now our line of clear, once again, I'm pinching
my cup so that it's a little bit narrower
of a stream. I'm starting a little bit off of the coaster that I know I
haven't missed anything, then our layer of white
or line of weight, same as the clear one
I'm pinching the cup. Go quickly, take bubbles out
with in low ski or setting. Then put the tip on to
direct the heat a bit more. Blow those eight. Alright, so now we wait for that to cure. I'll see you tomorrow.
8. Final Resin Layer, the Fload Coat: All right, The Coasters
are completely cured. We're ready to add
our flood coat. I have got it mixed right here. Is just exactly the same reason we're using I'm just making
a completely clear coat. We're putting it over
top of everything. What that's gonna
do is just going to flatten everything else. So we've got a smooth surface
to be used as a coaster. Trying to put even amounts
on each one of them. Recall. Spread it all the
way at the edges. And I spread it a little bit down the size to
make sure that it's going down all of
the sides evenly. It's really easy to feel if it's going down
the sides because your finger run
around it smoothly, you'll feel a little
bit of traction if it's not if the resin isn't
going down that side. All right. Now take the gloves
off and we're going to use the heat gun on a low setting
and remove all the bubbles. The bubbles will continue
to rise for the first hour. So I'll go back every
ten minutes or so. Do this exact same thing. If there's no bubbles
of Mr. Chris, I don't need to do this. But if there is make sure
that there are popped, otherwise it's going
to affect the fittest. Look. And then because this is the last layer and I don't
want to be putting any, I'm not gonna be putting
anything else on. I'm taking it clear container
and I'm just going to protect it from the
particles in the air. Still have to check
it because sometimes something might've gotten
gotten caught underneath there. There might still be things that come into the resident
affects the surface. But by doing this, it helps to protect
it a little bit better than just
being an open-air. And because the
container is clear, I can look to the side and see the reflection
of the light just to kind of check it a little bit before actually
taking it off. So it's a great
idea, especially on the last layer is
if you're doing something that you're doing, that you're gonna see all
of the layers you want to do this for all of them. For this particular project, I only needed to do it for
the last one because any of the previous layers are gonna be completely
covered by this one. So we're going to let this
dry completely for 24 hours, cure completely for
24 hours, sorry. And then I'll see you tomorrow and we will remove
the resin drips. But if we accumulated
on the back.
9. Removing the Resin Drips & Adding the Cork Backing: All right, Our
coasters are fully cured and now it's time to take drips that have dripped off of them
while creating them off. Pull them off your container that they've been sitting on. See how you have to actually
pry it up a little bit. That's why I like
using the silicone, the liquid latex on these
because it helps to stick them to the container that you're propping them
on so that they don't shift and move. The other reason I like
that is because we have some cork that comes with these costs ears that we're
gonna put on the back of here once we've gotten the drips off. And if we were to use the finishing wax like I
typically like to use on my art that's going to resist the glue that
we're using on. We're going to use
to glue the cork on. And obviously we don't
want to resist glue. So what I'm doing
right now is I'm just rolling the liquid latex
back a little bit. And then I'm going to
use my heat gun to just heat this area up a little bit and it's going to help me remove those drifts
a little bit easier. There we go. Now, even though our
resonance cured, I want to work on a soft surface because I don't want to
scratch the surface. You can stop me as plastic. You can still scratch the surface and I
don't want to do that. I'm gonna take my heat gun. I'm going to put
the narrower tip on it and I'm going to
hit that resonance. That's hot enough. It just picks right
off that silicone, just resist it and you
can send me starts. I keep calling it silicone,
I mean, liquidly types. Now you could see that
it's still on here, but it's easy to
just pop it off. It does peel back. I only work a little
section at a time because if I were to
heat the entire thing, first of all, it's gonna take
a lot longer to heat it. Secondly, while
I'm working at it, by the time I get up to here, these are starting to cool down. I'm gonna have to
repeat them anyway. So I work a couple
of inches at a time. Pick those little bits off. Then there is tiny
little bits there. But as we're removing
this liquid latex, those peel rate off as well. Now because of the coasters
or an unfinished wood, it's taking off
the liquid latex. It does make the width
a little bit rough. But because we're
putting cork on it a, it doesn't matter be
that roughness is going to give the glue that we're
just taking the cork on, extra traction, extra
surface to stick to. It really doesn't take
much pressure to be pulling these off at all. I think that takes
the most pressure really is rolling this up, which not a big deal. Last little bit. That got a bit warm. There we go. We've got it all taken off and it looks perfect
around the edges here. The next step is to
take them off of all the other ones we want
all four without the drips. And then I'm going to show you, I'm gonna let it cook this one, especially this one
cool off a little bit, it's gotten a little bit warm. So while I do the other
ones that is going to they're all going
to get who loved. And then I'll show you
how to glue the cork onto the mat or
drips are completely off and we're ready to glue our core gone to the back-end. Now that does come
with adhesive on it, but I never know how
strongest adhesive is, so I tend not to trust
it to be super-strong. I've got some E6
thousand glue Here. It is perfect for this and it
sticks really, really well. And it's nice and permanent. You can even use this to create or glue jewelry and
stuff like that. It can go in all sorts
of different surfaces. I'm going to these corks are exactly the same diameter
as the coaster round. Which is perfect. I'm going to glue this on
all four and then I sit them up to dry
because once again, I don't I don't want to have them sitting down on anything because I don't want to accidentally
scratched the surface. Because while it is
cured to the touch, it takes seven days for this particular reason that I'm using to
completely hardened. And even at that, again, it is still a plastic. You can scratch the surface. Want to reduce that possibility
as much as possible. You can see I'm only
putting the glue around the outside edges.
That's all we need. We don't need it
around the center. As long as the outside
is completely stuck, the center is good. The other reason why I like to put it down this way as well, especially after
I've written right after I've put that backing on, is I like to make sure
that I don't have any of that visible from the front. I'm squeezing this tube
quite hard simply because I've had it for awhile so the glue is thick
and a little bit. If you have a fresh tube, you likely won't
have to do that. If by chance you've
gotten any little pieces from the resin when you were
taking it off on the front? Just pick them right off. They don't actually
stick to it but I mean, they stick to it because
they like to stick to it, but they'll come right off. Alright, there we go. We're going to let
that completely dry. I don't actually know how long. I've just usually left
them out for a day, 24 hours for hearing. There we go. We'll see you in the next
video. I'll show you the super quick way that I
like to clean my resin cups.
10. Cleaning your Resin Tools: Alright, so now you've created these beautiful resin pieces and now you've got all these
cups with derived resident. Now. Now you could take them
and you could pick off each individual drip
and drop of resin. But there's actually
an easier way. So this is one of the
reasons why I love using these super soft silicone
cups when I can't. Obviously there are
only a certain size, so I can't use them
for huge projects. But I always pull them off where small projects because
they're so simple to clean, pull that disk out of the bottom or if they've broken
up into small pieces. I pulled the bigger piece out
and then I take duct tape. I cut six inches. Then I roll it around my fingers with the
sticky side out. I'm going to go like this. The
duct tape is sticky enough that it sticks to pretty much every drip there is sometime I have to go in with
a second piece. But because of the softness of the camp as well as the
stickiness of the duct tape. Typically one time and I'm
done for all of my cups. And I took out the big pieces, a couple big chunk
at the bottom. So the ones on the outside typically while you're using your duct
tape on the inside, typically the ones on the
outside will fall off. If not, you can just take the other side of
duct tape that you weren't touching with
and you can use that. There we go. One
more drip there. Here we go another clean cut. You can use them for
other modes as well. This is the crystal mold. It's what I've been using
with the extra drips. So I've got some sticky
left on this stuff tape. I can just use that. Pick up any of the
little drips on the top. Clean this mold off like that or whatever
mode you're using. It works for a lot
of different things. Now, for this whole class, I've been using these
wooden skewers to stir. And I like to use
them several times, get as much use of
edit them as possible. So I'll take my
scissors and I'll just trim some of that excess like these bits
and stuff like that. I don't need to trim all
of this as long as I've got some straight
edges so I can really, when I'm storing my resume, really get in there and
scrape besides in the bottom. I'm good to go. I'll do that until it gets too much on there and
then I'll just toss it. But at least then by then I've gotten some good use out of it. And also I'm putting all
my garbage right here, but typically I'll do this
right Bye the garbage cans. So all of this stuff
goes right in there. Sometimes you'll get a
nice chocolate that, and it'll pull some of the
pieces all up the sides. Which is always nice, but I love how by
using duct tape, it makes it super simple. And super quick. I've done this with packing
tape as well and it works, but the packing tape isn't quite as sticky
as the duct tape. So I just find the duct tape
works a little bit better. And you can see I'm doing
this and that so that I get the sticky on both sides.
Pulling things out. Drip on the slide
that can pull it off. This one, I'm gonna
need a second piece. By doing it this way. I find my cup cleanup
happens so much quicker. I definitely clean them off
before putting them away so that when I want to do a project I've got clean
cups to work with. There's nothing
worse than I need to be creative and having
to clean up first. So there we go. All right, I'll
continue to do this, but now you know
how to easily and simply clean your cups. You're welcome. I tried for a long time
to figure out how to do it nice and simply and
quickly, cleanly Lee's easily. This is the by far the best one that I've come
up with are found.
