When $1,000 of RESIN goes wrong... 

The fact that Jazza says hexagon, draws an pentagon and then corrects himself by saying that's an octagon is all too good.

To avoid layer lines if you wait till the previous layer is nearly cured and then pour it helps. Might also be worth investing in some deep pour resin if you try this again, it cures a bit slower but also generates less heat while curing and isn't as likely to flash cure and crack with deeper pours like these.

Its so nice of Jazza to release his friends from basement and make a video with them

Thank you so much for having us jazza! We had so much fun and honestly i feel like you nailed the challenge, your sculpting is so good! Next Pour will be 10/10! 🎉🎉🎉

You should have sanded each side down to 2000 grit then polished with a standard automotive polish, Would have come out like glass 👌🏼

Really cool idea! But mate, you wanna use deep pour resin for this kind of stuff and start pouring when the last layer is not completely hardened but past the "hot phase". Also mix the dye into a container with all the component A you need and add the hardener later on in batches. That way the colour is not off between the layers. Oh and lastly: Pleeeaaase use a mitre gauge when crosscutting on the table saw! Huge kickback risk there

Instead of doing a final layer of UV resin, I would have sanded the existing surface with a 1000 grit wet/dry sand paper, then a 2000 grit wet/dry sand paper, then a machine polish with rubbing compound and finally a carnuba wax. Basically how you would do the paint on a car. The micro-abrasives cut it down, and even it out, and the carnuba is the best pure wax and would make it look like glass. Possibly more work, but it would make the depth ridiculous.

Mario's eyes reflecting the yellow from the Star was brilliant. Well done. Resin is definitely a pain. Even guys who make projects weekly with it run into problems. Great work

6:43 "They're lid had a hexagon shaped hole" *Draws Pentagon* "I just drew an octogon"

This challenge has Evan & Katelyn written all over it! Resin time!

If you ever attempt something like this again, pouring the resin back to front (as in, have the piece rotated 90 degrees up, so that the front of the final piece is facing up, and the back of the piece is at the bottom), that way the layers will not be so clearly visible, and they will actually help increase the depth effect. Plus any bubbles that show up will be mostly distributed among the edges of the piece and not in the center

Would be super neat to see Jazza collab with Even and Kaitlyn on his next resin project!

Nick Zammeti is a great artist. He does a lot of resin projects over the years. Theres' also Evan & Katelyn who do probably just as much resin projects. Something to consider when you do your next resin project as some advice on how to fix mistakes from them. You wont regret checking their videos out.

The details look so good

It might be fun to do a collab with Even and Katelyn

Resin is one of the most incredible materials to work with, but it’s also one of the most difficult! It’s just SO finicky and unpredictable; you could do 1,000 resin projects, get super-confident about it, and on your next pour have a total disaster! Resin definitely knows how to humble an artist, that’s for sure! 😬

Ive seen quite a few people do this type of diarama before. My tip for this is to do the pour from back to front(on the side) not top to bottom that way you don't see all the pour lines from the front view.

I would love to see Jazza and North of the Border do a sculpture off!

You guys should definitely do a collab with Evan & Katelyn for some great Resin Time!

A collab with Evan and Katelyn is in order. They’ve raised experimenting with resin (Resin Time) to a new level. A fine art, even.

Based on what i’ve learned from watching Evan and Katelyn (highly recommend!) they should use deep pour resin, it cures slower and doesn’t produce as much heat :p

It is amazing :D For the future, I feel like for resin work, especially that big, you could do some crosswork with Evan and Katelyn (same channel name). They will be very helpful for sure ;)

"But didn't look like I'd trust him with my mushrooms of you know what I mean." **proceeds to look perplexed by what he just said** Jazza's facial expressions are everything XD

I love how the bubbles actually make it better since this is "underwater"

I’m wondering if they used deep pour resin or regular resin. I’m assuming they didn’t because the others were finished fairly soon after pour according to jazza. if you get decent quality deep pour, you can pour 4-6 inches at a time. Granted it takes 24-48 hours before set but it works better for what they were trying to make.

I love when things don’t go well or don’t turn out as expected Jazza still accepts that he’s had the opportunity to learn during the process, it’s always inspiring 😊 especially when you yourself always expect your art to turn out perfect

Honestly I like when underwater scenes have bubbles, makes it more realistic.

The dead fish... I can't stop laughing.

I love how dedicated jazza is

I keep considering doing a resin pour. Then I watch another video of someone doing it and I’m like “nah I’ll pass” lol

The odd Cheep Cheep could be a reference to how mobs dance during beat drops in games like the memed "huh, huh" dance by the koopas

Honestly, the pour lines make it look like the lines on certain older TVs back when Mario was just starting out.

What I got out of this video series was: That the real treasure was the value of the resin they poured along the way

If your resin's cure time was less than 72 hours, I'm betting you were not using a deep pour resin. Every resin has a maximum pour depth. Most can't go above 1" without the issues you were running into. If you use that faster curing resin you have to do more layers. Generally you want to pour the next layer when the last one has reached a tacky stage so they blend together.

I hope you keep refining this technique and doing more of those !!! Its amazing 😮

The dead fish killed me haha

What a project! If you ever get a chance, a collaboration with Evan & Katelyn would not be amiss--they're a DIY couple and very experienced with resin. Of course, they're in Texas, so I'm not holding my breath =P Feedback: the video felt a bit rushed. We weren't really introduced to the Squidmar guys, for example, and the theme seemed just tossed in there. (Tone is very tricky to convey in text, so let me say I'm not intending to criticize you guys, but just trying to be helpful 🙂 )

I wouldn’t trust him with my mushrooms if ya know what i mean- no jazza nobody knows what you mean 😂

You did great, Jazza! I can tell you learned so much though the process

The lines in Jazza's resin actually remind me of the old TV's when they'd act up and you'd get those little lines running across the screen. To me it fits really well considering how long Mario has been around. It'd be cool if he made a frame/case for his Mario creation that looked like one of those old faux wood TVs with the rabbit ears. He could even run LEDs in it if he wanted to at that point to play with the color of the resin water.

Every time I watch your videos I get inspired to do more work of my own. Thank you for uploading! You're awesome!🎉❤

I''d love to see you do a collab with Evan and Katelyn doing a resin project! I've learned a lot about resin pours just by watching their videos and think you two would have so much fun coming up with a project together.

two of my favourite artists collaborating together, loved it. Please do more together,

“Their lid had a small hex opening” *draws pentagon* “I literally just drew an octagon…” 😂

Very impressive, loved this video! I wonder how much better it would look if it had been turned on it's side face down so the layers would be visible only on the sides and it would be clear on the front.

The visible layering actually reminds me of some older televisions

I got to say. I know it was an add on but the fish looking at the “dead” fish is my favorite part and the bubbles add to the underwater effect!!

This actually looks so cool! Kind of makes me want to try resin 😍

any Evan and Katelyn fans knowing and worrying about the big resin pours

dead fish & friend is perfect. Adds more character to the piece

Classic Jazza video! Bravissimo 👏

i know nothing of resin pours, but i had to wonder, if you could make cured resin supports for you floating objects, could the entire piece be done in one large pour ? ( to avoid the layer look )

It's a good day when Jazza posts a video

Literally my favorite creatives collaborating like this is a dream come true

It's really great that you're using your platform to feature other artists You're amazing jazza I really like your collaboration videos

2:31 dude cutting small blocks like that on the table saw while using the fence is dangerous AF, definitely not something people should think is okay do to. The small piece can and will get trapped between the blade and fence and shoot out toward you at literally 100mph. You can slap together a simple cross-cut sled in 5 minutes, or a decent one in 20, there are thousands of videos on making them. This will make cross cuts more accurate and 1000x safer. Peace!

Jazza, I purchased the pro sketch pack weeks ago and have had no update since and it's feeling like I was scammed considering it cost me $170AUD WHEN DO THEY GET SENT OUT

You NEVER cease to amaze Jazza! This is an incredible piece!

LOVE IT! Earliest ive been lols. The amount of effort that goes into these is mind blowing and its so cool seeing the process!😊

Second comment? lol Thx Jazza for amazing vid!

Heyy

I usually find resin videos really boring but a jazza video is never boring and it turned out so cool! Well done

Super cool project Jazza!

Am I first?

Jazza, you’re such an amazing artist. This was very inspirational that you kept at it and kept pushing to learn from every single pour to get this as amazing as you did. I know your son will love this even more than you love it because it was hand made by you and shows the dedication you put into your incredible art. Also, it’s so smart that you blur the other RU-vidrs work so we have to go see their videos on their channels. You have always been such an amazing person that constantly puts others as high as yourself or sometimes higher. That is a great quality to have. I cannot wait to go watch their videos from this collaboration.

Turned out so cool, you all worked so hard on this!!!

I love all 3 channels and have for a long time, must say I subbed to Squidmar first because I am a mini painter myself, but have migrated to yours and tabletop time's channel... you guys all do such amazing work and contribute so much to our community!! I come from the era where all you had was either the people you knew or whatever books or magazines you could get your hands on... internet wasn't the beast that it is today... so much has changed in the last 30 or so years, it's nice to have guys like you putting out all this amazing content to learn and be inspired by!! Thanks for sharing bro! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

I know some on RU-vid who make solid objects with resin, they also make them gradually because of the heat development, but they don't wait for the layers to harden completely, the surfaces of them are like jelly, which helps that individual layers merge better with the following layers and the dividing lines are hardly perceptible. Otherwise it's an impressive work.

That's so kickass! It turned out really well man! Love it ❤

That is like actually amazing! Great job dude.

The collab we needed

So cool!! What at awesome art project, Jazza! 🙌🏼😍

What an amazing video! Love it so much! Will check out the other guys' videos 😄🥰

Love your channel always ❤

I love your content your channel is one of the only ones I get that nostalgic feeling from still 👏

11:28 I shriveled every time you wiped your hand against the resin

*TO AVOID BUBBLES AND CRACKS ON DEEP RESIN POURS* For this technique you'll need one of those horizontal garage freezers. First, seal completely your object all around with a layer of resin to make sure there are no voids, trapped air will off-gas and bubble out as the pressure and heat of the curing process will push it out, let it fully cure before moving on. Then you'll need to keep your resin in the refrigerator for 48h before pouring, let it get to 60F / 15C or so. Place your object and the mould inside the freezer before pouring. Mix the resin and degas it as normal then pour the resin and keep your freezer as cold as possible. It will probably still take a few days to cure but you can perform a single pour (no layers!) of a block about 60 x 40 x 30 cm, possibly larger. It depends on the brand of the resin of course, but I believe he used MAS Deep Pour. *CREDIT TO: BM Sculptures* , you can see his technique in this video: Carving a 🐢 out of Epoxy & Wood

I love the waves on the top

Wow!! Your piece turned out amazing!! Love it!!

This was awesome.. nice to see you with table top time again bud...

Making a new surface with UV resin: I was taught about how to make such sculptures by the hollywood effects artist who made the suits for the original Robocop movies. He taught me that he'd finish the item and then rather than applying a thin layer of UV resin, he'd use several light coats of clear gloss spray paint.

This video gained a lot of visibility. The president of Nintendo, Shuntaro Furukawa was so impressed that he personally went to Jazza and sued him for 1.5$ billion for copyright

It’s crazy to consider how unlikely eliminating layer lines in this project is. Even if you timed and proportioned each pour the same, there’s variation in the filled volume that will change the pour depth with each pour which will change the cure times and temperatures, causing different amounts of bubbles and variations in the cure color.

Watching this was like watching myself over the past few years, but in a speed run haha. I stick to making smaller resin pieces and my knowledge is limited, but I thought I'd share a few things that might've come in handy here: 1. Resin Tape - It's a tad stiffer than regular packaging tape, so it doesn't crinkle and warp as easily when you're applying and positioning it. It helps create cleaner edges and of course pulls off of resin very nicely. 2. Deburring Tool - If power tools aren't an option (like in my case), try using a handheld deburring tool to quickly trim down resin edges. It's much quicker (and safer I think) than an exact-o knife and the blades have a curve so it doesn't slip as easily. 3. Leveling - Always a good idea, but especially when it comes to top layers and finishing coats. It'll make all the difference. Loved the video of course, as I do with all of them! But I wanted to share some tips that I thought might prevent future headaches lol. Keep up the great work!

Omg yay Jazza, TBT and Squidmar!

The Requiem of a Dream pupils was a really cool touch. Good job Jazza and/or editor

Jazza with shapes is amazing

Wow! Thank you. My favorite part is the layers in the resin because it reminds me of playing the original Mario game on the old TV growing up.

Oh. My. GAWSH.. 😂 the whole process was just so fun to watch. From his lack of shapes knowledge..lol.. to his major resin pour blunder, and the craftyness..with an i..I guess..lol.. his love Jazza and his crew 💜

Love the reference to Requiem for a Dream, nice job!

The guys that did the kraken… The guy with the gorgeous hair, smile, face and accent… Is this love at first sight?

Love your videos jazza ❤

Great work on this one.

I really really enjoyed this video and to help out Jazza I'm going to make sure I watch it multiple times haha!

even though I can see the layer lines, it fits in such a way that it reminds me of playing the original games on my old CRT tv

Those look soooo cool!!! Keep it up & the videos!! Til next tyme...keep those cre8ive juices abrewing!!!

1:44 the most jazza internet moment jazza has jazzed

This is greatness! ❤

I love the derpy fish! He's my favorite!

Respect always for blurring out other artist's work and encouraging us to check them out on their own turf. Also, I think that the bubbles add to Mario's underwaterness.
