Good odds that spray would eat the foam. I would have just drilled some holes in a couple of pieces of scrap wood. Something else I have seen around, but haven't tried myself, is using one of those cat scratching boards made from laminated corrugated cardboard. From what I have seen, they seem to work well with bamboo skewers but toothpicks might be too small.

[@tonymonnox6451]

I'm in the "automotive world" and we never paint directly onto plastic simply because there will be 0 adhesion. We actually use a produce called plastic primer which you can get in clear aerosol form and it's basically an adhesion promotion for bare plastic to help paint stick to it, I think that will help with the paint not peeling using the aerosol epoxy.

[@asifimam]

YT doesn't see it that way, unfortunately. They reward channels that post regularly following a specific routine, and seem to punsuh those who don't, sadly. No wonder so many KZbinrs feel like they're stuck on a treadmill that they simply can't get off. 😞

[@stubb3dt03s5]

How to fix the peeling problem: LIGHTLY SAND YOUR KEYS. The keys are smooth plastic, so naturally the spray resin would peel off, but if you sand the keys it will give the plastic some texture for the resin and color change powder to stay.

Can't argue with that.

[@Srfingfreak]

For better adhesion, you can give the surface a "pre-etch" with sodium hydroxide, toluene, acetone, or even hydrochloric acid. You need to increase the surface energy of the (probably) PBT keycaps.

[@chlorophyllheart]

That's what I was thinking, but more basic, like sandpaper lol. There needs to be more surface area for the stuff to bond to.

[@DD-lb7nn]

@@chlorophyllheart either that or use some kind of primer, which doesn't sound too far fetched, using black primer would have the same effect, maybe the only drawback would be the legibility of the actual keys

[@yuris.3167]

This would work if the problem was adhesion to the keycap surface, but their problem here is delamination from the crystal coating. Even with better adhesion, a thick coating would still separate into layers. Considering this, they provided a good possible solution, which is to make the resin layer permeate the crystal layer. We will have to wait to see if it worked.

If I had magic brown fluid, I'd probably spray it on my water bottle! I think it would be cool to see how the water changes the temperature of the bottle and how me holding it also effects it.

A couple years ago during the summer coca-cola had colour changing cans (the white part). If you cooled the can the letters became pink&baby blue, and you could see exactly how much was left in the can because the empty part had way more trouble keeping it's colour, they were cool cans

[@circadianrebel]

A thought on the delaminating: it may be that the crystal paint needs a primer to be able to stick to that plastic properly (very common for a lot of types of paint, especially with smooth plastics), and that the clear you sprayed does not need a primer. If so, would only need one coat of the clear, a bunch of crystal coats, then the top clear coat. Might be an experiment for when you try to mood ring your, uh... steering wheel? I dunno, you're more creative than me figuring that out. :P

Hey you guys should be more careful when using the 2k clear coat, that stuff is highly toxic even if it touches your skin. Please be sure to read up on safety more before using again, because the skin can absord the isocyanate.

Hey Evan and Katelyn, did yall think about sanding the keys before spraying them. Its most likely the surface was too smooth, so sanding with a low grit puts grooves in the surface for the paint to adhere to. Not sure if the actual letters on the keys would survive, but that's usually how this problem is solved and might help in future projects if you didn't know or just didn't think about it. I love watching yall's stuff.

when painting plastic you can either prime it, no the greatest for this purpose. Or lightly sand them. You could put them in a sonic sander or just sand them with a medium/fine grit sand paper. This gives enough texture for the material to stick to.

ok, only halfway through the video and I have suggestions for the future. mount the key to a pike that can be spun mood spray only on the top of the key do a couple extra layers sand the whole key (very high grit like 600) sanding will give the resin a very grippy surface to bond to and the resin will smooth it back to glossy have your cup of resin and dip the key into it to cover only the surface and not the back while still in the cup, but above the level of resin after dipping, spin the key to throw off any extra to the sides where it will run back into the pool set aside to dry right side up so the resin levels on the top
