Hi, we're Evan and Katelyn Heling and we make stuff together: resin, woodworking, 3D printing, home makeovers, CAT PROJECTS, sometimes practical stuff, sometimes totally unnecessary but fun stuff.
The reason we started this channel is partly for y'all, but partly for us too. We want to show that making stuff is fun even if you're figuring it out as you go (like we often are). But also, we wanna work together. We're basically each other's favorite person, and being able to do stuff we love with the person we love is pretty much the dream.
We have more channels too! 🎮 Our gaming channel trvid.com 📺 Our 2nd channel trvid.com 🎙️ Our podcast trvid.com 🎮 We stream at www.twitch.tv/evanandkatelyn

So I never watch this episode and I was thinking about what you’re going to do this year as spooky season is coming up what if you dip the pumpkin in a large quantity of rubbing alcohol after carving to decrease the mold growth
It's my understanding that there aren't really any non-disposable gloves that are safe to use with resin, because nitrile gloves are effectively the only ones chemically resistant enough to ensure that no chemical contamination/absorption occurs. Saving a few bucks on gloves just isn't worth the added hazard when it comes to working with chemicals like resin.
We use silicon stir sticks at my work and we found that they work best being sprayed with a mold release and having more than one layer of resin on it. The PVC ones are too flexible for the amount of resin we normally use.
Y’all should have a gem faceting table, one of those things they use for lapidary work where it’s got a little armature to hold the gem at specific angles over a flat sanding disk, cheap ones are only a couple hundred bucks and they will save you tons of elbow grease on projects like these.
I think the reusable gloves, spatulas etc are for people that might be more mindful ab the amount of waste they produce so they don’t have a problem w sacrificing a little bit of convenience
I'm sorry these reusable options didn't work out for y'all, but I would like to see more reusable/sustainable options in the future! Because you guys test so much out and work with resin, there's a lot of waste in what you do. But, at the same time not all 'reusable' options are created equal and some can create as much waste. Like, it seems as if even if the gloves fit you, you'd still create as much waste as a disposable glove trying to clean them up. Or, like you said, the wooden sticks could be used multiple times. But why couldn't you clean the stir sticks like you did the magnets? Also would be cool to see some thrifted/repurposed items in some of your tests/builds.
Hey loves. Always love the channel. Just wanted to throw out some useless information, but in this case finally useful. The striations you see I. The mixing process are actually called Slurry Lines. Credit to Prof. Laura Muller for entertaining my weird question during a chemistry lab.
We always blew them out and put matchsticks with strings into the holes so we could hang them on the Kitty willow branches. It is done with the mouth and sometimes the cheeks really hurt because we needed to use lots of force. It's not something that ancient either I am not over 3 decades old.
