Try to add links if possible that would have helped and then you can have the Amazon bonus bucks. Not sure what that gives you but it would help greatly in getting the items. Great video though. Is food-grade mineral oil an okay oil to use?

[@smaughanster]

Super glue accelerator (or at least the stuff I used) can cause the cured glue to be more brittle than it would be if allowed to cure normally.

The thumbnail is great

I'm not into gamer stuff, but am into making miniatures. More girly stuff. But wanted to thank you or the great tips. New subscriber! A 64 year old grandma 😀

Thanks, Pam! I'm glad it was helpful!

[@kevinkabal6598]

Super informative! Thank you for posting!

[@tiagoloureiro3302]

Thanks, it was really cool to see the assortment of tools you use :D

[@lastlightcreative6537]

No problem!

How do you remove the oil before priming?

[@TheWarpForge]

Thanks for the heads up! Just wondering about the Mineral Oil but is that like Vegetable Oil? Just trying to find some so I can purchase the right stuff before beginning sculpting stuff.

[@alecsmall4409]

Struggling too really. Doesn't appear to be something common in the UK at least?

[@DaemonicPossession]

@@alecsmall4409 Baby Oil is like 99% mineral oil, and the rest fragrance. You can also get fragrance free baby oil too, although not as common in the UK. I have a 3 year old, so the smell doesn't bother me, and it's quite mild anyway.

[@benjamisprime338]

Mineral oil like the lubricant laxative?

[@lastlightcreative6537]

yep

[@RW-Navigator]

Great video! iI enjoy your sculping. May i ask what brand that really worn out brush with the white rubber tip is?

[@lastlightcreative6537]

Colour Shaper

Hi, I tried two different baking paper, but my green stuff and milliput hybrid just stick to paper. When I try to remove paper it's messing up my putty. Am I doing something wrong, maybe someone had similar problem? I'm already patreon and I've tired to find your discord, but I can't see it, so maybe here someone can help me.

[@lastlightcreative6537]

Whats the temperature in your work area?

[@leszlo2963]

@@lastlightcreative6537 usually between 18°C-22°C

[@lastlightcreative6537]

@@leszlo2963 No idea, then... maybe its the wrong paper. the paper I use as a waxy feel to it so baking goods don't stick. Good luck!

[@ikkiiiieee]

how do you get rid of the mineral oil on your sculpts?

[@lastlightcreative6537]

It evaporates by itself faster than it becomes a problem. Thats if you're using the correct amount. If you use too much, you can also mop it up with q-tips! (cotton swabs)

[@ikkiiiieee]

@@lastlightcreative6537 had no idea it would evaporate! Thank you!

[@lastlightcreative6537]

[@hellyeahtehmeh]

odd question but does baby oil do the same thing as mineral oil?

[@lastlightcreative6537]

Dunno- I'd imagine its close, just loaded with perfumes and stuff. But mineral oil can be had at pharmacies and grocery stores easily!

[@hellyeahtehmeh]

@@lastlightcreative6537 aright cool, not gonna lie there's so much mineral oil I don't know what's the best for our application 😂 there's even mineral oil for two strokes 😂

[@lastlightcreative6537]

@@hellyeahtehmeh The oil you get at the pharmacy will probs be fine, haha
