Tape your magnets to a piece of card to stop them attracting each other
These are 19mm neodymium ring magnets (internal diameter 14mm, thickness 1mm)
Each of these demonstrations shall use 36g of epoxy art resin, which I have already mixed
The resin has been standing in hot tap water for about 3 minutes, which will lower the viscosity
Add some cat eye powder and mix thoroughly
This is a 10cm silicone cake mould from Amazon.
It gets recommended when you browse alcohol inks, so I think more people buy them for resin than for cake :/
Witchcraft!
Kill the bubbles!
Stay tuned to the end of the video for some spectacular reveals
Ooooooooh!
What's the difference between a pessimist and a magnet?
Magnets have a positive side XD
Did you hear about the person who swallowed a magnet?
They suddenly became more attractive :)
Are magnets grown in magnetic fields?
Magic!
Useful tip: Don't get too close to the magnets with your lighter :/
No bubbles must survive!
The process for the bullseye is slightly different to the others
Split off about two thirds of your resin, which shall be poured clear
Add a smidgen of powder to the remaining resin
Pour the clear resin into the mould first...
Carefully drizzle the cats eye resin around the edges of the magnet
You can use a pipette to uniformly distribute the cats eye resin
Get them bubbles!
What do you call a sleeping bull?
A bulldozer!
And again!
Trying very hard to make this not look like a swastika :O
Those little measuring scoops are off eBay, and provide measurements in units of a drop, smidgen, pinch, dash and tad.
I'm using 2 smidgen scoops to each 36g of resin
The cats eye powder is available in many different colours, but I demonstrate just 6 in this video.
Evil sorcery!
For the last two designs I'm using a ferrous sheet to hold my magnets in place
A ferrous sheet will attract magnets but is not magnetic itself
You may still need to tape the magnets down if they are too close to each other
So many bubbles
Not any more >:)
Wizardry!
This design uses the same magnets as the pinwheel, but this time they are placed on their edges.
My friend was offered a job at a kaleidoscope factory...
He's looking into it :/
Last time :)
Thanks for watching!
[Alexa] You should have made one using your animal magnetism
[Alexa] Oh wait... you don't have any
