We tried 2 more butt print techniques
The last butt print technique was indeed a fail (we didn’t get enough cheek definition, and it still would have required sanding) so we tried 2 more: 1) the original play of loosely putting saran wrap on first, and just sanding off the textured wrinkles, and 2) skip the saran wrap and use extra po...
Uh oh we hit some snags on the stools!
Well of course the plan for our custom butt stools sounded way too easy to be true. We decided to do some small scale tests of course using tiny circle molds and a 3D printed butt. Well, Evan found a Frog model that was really cheeked up so that’s what we used for the buttSo I’ll outline our ser...
Chunk 2 needs urgent help/attention
Hey guys… so we might have a little problem. Chunk 2 has a perfect resin seal around the pumpkin, but it cured so slow that he seems to be rotting and creating gas. The gas is pushing out on the resin which is why he was ghostly when we revealed him but spoiler… he is still gassing and the resin...
We sprung a leak right over an outlet (Resin Pumpkin Aftershow)
Hey y'all! We need to go sleep for a week but Chunk 1 and Chunk 2 are done and the video is live! In this Aftershow we cover: Why we chose to attempt the cube again What method we almost went with Our agony and indecision on whether to remake Chunk and try for Chunk 2 What our friends and family...
We wanna make VERY custom stools
Ever since we first made resin stools 4 years ago, we’ve wanted to make stools that are custom molded to our butts. So we finally decided to make that happen!! To explain our plan for the stools I thought it might be fun to share our plan in the form of an intro we ended up not using. (We even mad...
Chunk 2 is almost done everybody
Hey guys! So after a lot of work essentially starting over from scratch, CHUNK 2 IS IN RESIN i repeat CHUNK 2 IS IN RESIN. We actually got him in there before we left for TwitchCon. We did a bunch of things differently this time around to keep Chunk 2 cooler (lowered the fridge temp, inserted a pre-...
Faux Terrazzo Reveal!
Before you see the results of our concrete vs Razzo “faux terrazzo” let me just say that one worked SO WELL and one failed SO HARD.The concrete was so much thicker and chunkier that it had a harder time filling the mold, even with the vibrating table, leading to an uneven distribution of flakes ...
Which new merch do you like?
Hey y'all! We are working on a new merch design and can't decide between the "worn" version (where the print looks like it has some wear and tear) and the "clean" versionBelow is the "worn" versionBelow is the "clean" versionDo y'all have any preference? T...
Pumpkin update *cries resin tears*
Hey y’all. We demolded Chunk, and he looked pretty bad. Like, SO much promise with his clarity and how fresh he still looked (unlike Meatball, who already looked sorta moldy when we demolded him). But the warping of the resin really took a toll on him.I’d like to point out he’s still SUPER ora...
Concrete vs Resin (Concrete Vibrators Aftershow)
This video was such chaos haha. In this Aftershow we cover: How we ended up with such a crazy idea Expectation vs reality for each vibrator One idea I had to make the table vibrator work better Musings about pressure pot or vacuum chamber Comparing concrete to resin Why we never used these tools in ...
We made our flakes and poured faux terrazzo!
Hey y’all! Update on our DIY terrazzo attempts! We finished making chips/flakes out of both the concrete and Razzo. The concrete is the more muted one, the Razzo is the brighter one (due to the concrete having a gray base and the Razzo having a white base)We also got to use our new vibrating table...
Update on the pumpkins
Hey y’all! Thanks again for naming Chunk (our resin pumpkin) and Dingus (our control pumpkin). We’ve been filming for that video and having too much fun saying both those names. So we wanted to give y’all a little update on how they’re both doing.We carved both of them and Dingus has been ha...
We’re gonna try making (faux) Terrazzo!
Like we mentioned a few posts ago, we have an idea we wanna tackle that may involve concrete (hence our quest to test concrete vibrators). But we figured before we get to that, why not experiment with ways to spice up concrete a bit… I’m talking about Terrazzo! If you don’t know what terrazzo ...
Why is it so fun testing gadgets? (Resin Gadgets 2 Aftershow)
Hey y'all! In this Aftershow we cover: Why this was a main and not a second What surprised us the most How these compared to the last round of gadgets Will we use any of these in the future? What we wished the results were Were there any tests we would want to do as follow-up?Hope everyone has a...
Early merch access + 10% discount!
Hey! I know we've been posting here a lot lately, but we're launching new merch Friday and we wanted to give y'all early access plus a discount code as a thanks for being our supporters :) The new merch drop is our Fail University line... because failing is a part of learning! Be proud o...
Thanks for voting!
We looked at the votes for our control pumpkin this morning and Dingus was the winner! So we officially have names for both of them now... Chunk and Dingus! What a pair, about to go on a grand adventure together...
Now let's vote on the other pumpkin's name!
Thanks everyone for voting on the name for our resin pumpkin! Excited to say the winning choice is Chunk :D Now we have one more pumpkin whose name we'd like you to choose - the control pumpkin that will not be resin'ed! We'll put a couple of the close contender names from last time, as ...
Help us name our pumpkins!
We got our pumpkins and we thought it'd be fun if y'all named them! This is the first poll and it's for the pumpkin that will get embedded in resin (we'll do another poll for the control pumpkin later). The resin pumpkin will look like this:
We're not being sued, yay! Also we’re testing more resin gadgets!
We had so much fun testing resin gadgets last time that we decided to do it again! This might be a little “inside baseball” but instead of doing it on the second channel again, we did it for the main channel. The last “testing resin gadgets” video just outperformed all other second channel v...
We made another cursed rice krispie…
Hey guys! We’re getting further and further ahead of schedule (which is great for us and the editors!) and we just filmed a future second channel video where we make *drumroll* … BACON rice krispie treats!These were highly requested in the comments and they’re one of those things that could be...
We’ve tested our vibrators! That sounds wrong…
Wow guys - this experimental video has been unexpectedly exciting so far (not to mention a workout!)We’ve tested all 3 vibrating devices, we’re just waiting to demold the last couple things to do our final evaluation of how well they all removed bubbles. But I can certainly speak on the experien...
We’re testing some VERY unconventional tools…
Hey guys! I’m not sure how many of y’all might remember, but back in the day we did a decent amount of concrete projects, and we have an idea we wanna tackle (hopefully later this year!) that may involved concrete, but we thought we’d try to first solve one of the biggest issues we always had ...
Tinted resin for the pumpkin?
We’re back with another round of small scale tests before we do our big resin pumpkin! This time, we’re tackling another issue we had last year with Meatball: the resin being yellow-y.Now, when we pour resin in small amounts it’s essentially clear, but when we’re pouring an almost 1ft x 1ft ...
Evan almost melted our sword… (Resin Sword Aftershow)
We wanted to give a special thank you to our patron Tyler Sowers who chatted with Evan about the pressure pot all the way back in 2022! So sorry we couldn’t remember your name in the moment of recording (2022 was a long time ago haha) In this Aftershow we talk about: How we almost melted the sword...
Squash test results
Whhhhhhhaaaaat this is NOT what we expected!!! Remember a few posts ago when I said we were gonna test sanitizing cut squash with 1) bleach, 2) 99% alcohol, 3) a “control” with nothing, and 4) diluted bleach? THE CONTROL IS THE ONLY ONE THAT DIDN’T GET SUPER MOLDYWe are ded.Anyways, I think we...
We’ve started the annual pumpkin project early
Every year we always feel SO rushed doing the pumpkin project, because pumpkins aren’t available around here til the very end of September and we want the video to be out by late October or early November, AND we want sufficient time (ideally multiple weeks) to see if the pumpkin would rot. This y...
It’s finished!
I’m so excited we finished the resin sword!!! When doing the final resin pour we were really unsure about how it would turn out (especially the handle) and we thought we might have to do another try after demolding it. But we ended up loving the blade and the handles!And assembled together… it...
The resin test that WON’T be in the video (Mini Vlog #67)
Good news, the silicone molds turned our great! We were about to move onto the final resin pour when we realized we had a few more tests/practice runs we wanted to do. Now, for the flow of the video, we worried this might get repetitive so we weren’t gonna film it at all. Then we realized it might...
The new resin clouds look cool! But we hit another snag…
We did our “injected” resin clouds (by adding opaque white resin to clear blue resin” and while they are more “interpretive” clouds, we actually both really like how they look! So after deciding that we’d move forward with that technique, we started taking apart the sword to make a mold ...
Our small scale tests keep failing…
So for the resin sword, we wanted to do an elemental theme (like we did with the Lava Axe) so this time the theme will be… air! We are gonna try to make resin “clouds” and have the sword look like a slice of the sky. But we have a lot of different “cloud” materials to test out (including p...
