This is so cool. I love blending science and art, but I have no facility for science, so I'm glad you're here to take care of that part. I am looking forward to trying this and adding my own color and texture experiments to it. Best of all, I have an old bottle of Future under the sink to fiddle with. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!

[@rogerd1685]

I just made a little of this tonight .. It was very easy to do.. I say it because sometimes things don't work out that way.. There were large pieces and getting it like the pros was the goal.. I notice yours was a little larger grains... What I just tried was.. I use stainless steel ball bearings 4mm size that I put into my one ounce paint bottles for Airbrush paints ..to keep the paint mixed... Well I put 8 balls into a little plastic container holding the Mixture.. In just a few shakes my mixture is now like a baby powder, it's dust.. I use a magnet on the bottom of the container...to hold the bearings while I dump the powder to it's new home... You might be able to tumble larger amounts I am sure .. this was an easy fun Project...Thank you.. I hope this tip...is a help to some..

[@candacekieper4354]

[@amkarei]

@@candacekieper4354 , maybe...if you don't mind despoiling your coffee grinder. Ball bearings would be cheaper and more accessible (Ace Hdwr here I come!)

Coffe grinders can usually be found at thrift stores. I have a couple that I use strictly for my crafting projects. They were cheap, like less than five dollars each.

[@deborahhoward6650]

Where's part 2, how do you make it.

[@marybirder5663]

Very cool idea and experiment, Ken! It may help to mix in a bit of glycerin to your pigment ink pad to make to stamped image sticky. The more adhesion to the ink, the more embossing powder will stick to it. Also, I suggest being a bit more liberal with your embossing powder when you sprinkle it over your stamped image. As far as adding a color, have you thought about pigment powders? The two that pop into my mind are both a metallic/mica powder---Perfect Pearls and Pearl Ex. I mix Pearl Ex into my clear embossing powder (Ranger) all the time for a beautiful shine. Thanks for adding some science into the arts/crafts world!

[@annevanderlaan6441]

Thank you very much for sharing this. I spend a lot of money on supplies for my art and I am grateful to you for showing how to make this embossing product. I was wondering if could use this to melt onto metal items. I use this stuff by the pound and they have discontinued making the pound size.

[@observationsblogcom]

Anne Vanderlaan Absolutely! The polymer has a relatively low melting point and has good adhesive qualities. In fact, I am working on dyeing the material and doing some faux enameling. The only aspect that I am unsure of is the economics of using my method of extraction. I suspect that it depends on what you have been paying for bulk polymer. Good luck and thanks for the comment, Ken.

[@louised6790]

You sir a genius! Thank you so much for sharing this as well as video #2. I'm off to buy some Pledge floor care 😃

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

I was trying to find out if embossing powder is PMMA because nail acrylic powder is and if theyre both the same, you could substitute nail acrylic for embossing powder as its much cheaper. I knew about extracting acrylic polymer from acrylic floor wax with an acid but wondered if these two were the same thing. As I'm not a chemist, its not apparent what the differences between acrylic polymers are and if they all act similarly when heat is applied.

[@faeryfox6253]

Nice try! I love when people are so innovative. I love my embossing powders, Ranger amongst them. I will probably not ever change but golly this could be fantastic for someplace with a super low budget that needs lots such as a school. Good work!

[@lisawintler-cox1641]

This is fascinating. I like your mind. Watching how you organize your order of operations in particular. How did you choose the product you used to derive your embossing powder? What aspects caused you to choose it? I do wonder about the longevity of your creation vs. professional. My curiosity is caused as much by my aggravation at the black box that the ingredients of many craft products are locked up in. Not every project stampers/scrapbookers do is meant to last 1000 years regardless of what our egos tell us, but some of these products say they have been tested for light fastness, paper degradation etc. As you say, they probably use a lot of the same resins and polymers. What will happen to the projects that are really important to me?

[@observationsblogcom]

Thank you for the comments and questions. I was aware that some floor polishes had an acrylic as the polymer and if it was true, then the polish would have to be pH alkaline and that an acid would precipitate the polymer. But, I also like to play with ideas. So I looked at patents and msds product information. Then it was playtime! Several failures and then success. As far as longevity, it is a thermoplastic and can be re-heated but will be stable unless it is really hot! Many of my projects lack the test of archival aspects but life is to short to do so. So I do my best to test and let time prove or disprove. Trust your own judgement and rational when creating and let's check back in 100 years! Your'e the best!

I can't find that product in Australia, so what is it that you're extracting from the floor product in order to create your fabulous 'material' ??? I'm soooo excited to try this!! I really do hope that you're able to answer. THANK YOU!

[@observationsblogcom]

Second video is at the following location that is mentioned in the video and posted in the comments many times. Sorry, Ken. www.observationsblog.com/sciencetechnologyexperiments/embossing-powder-made-at-home

[@elizabethwhiteoak5291]

observationsblog.com Don't be sorry, Ken .. as I said, I did find it, and I'm very grateful - it's such a great video! I'm very excited to try, but .... All I need to know now is what material it is that needs to be extracted from the floor product. I live in Australia and so I'm not familiar with Pledge. If you could please tell me what material needs to be extracted, perhaps I could find a similar product in my own shopping aisle and experiment with extracting it from a floor finish made of the same material. Thank you for kindly taking the time to answer.

[@observationsblogcom]

What we need to extract is either an acrylic or acrylic co-polymer. The solution has to be clear and not cloudy as it is then a wax based product. Check the safety data sheet (SDS) that all manufacturers have to publish although they don't always show the ingredients honestly. Holloway brand may be available for you. Ken.

[@elizabethwhiteoak5291]

observationsblog.com Thank you so very much, Ken .. I can't express my sincere gratitude!! You are so kind to share such a fabulous piece of science that every crafter in the world would love to know how to make!! : ) It's very isolated where I live, but I'll go into town to look for that product tomorrow, but I don't recall having seen it before .. TBH, I don't remember the last time I saw a CS Johnson product anywhere!! So I sincerely hope I'm not pushing you too much further to ask if you might mention what names they might list these acrylic or acrylic co-polymers under on the bottles as? I'm so sorry to bother you again, but I would be eternally thankful to get this right : ) I live 120kms from the nearest town, in Queensland, Australia, but there isn't a craft store within 500kms and it's a further 1500kms to our nearest Capital City!! So it's imperative to have some DIY knowledge out here in the bush .. and I'm ten times as grateful to you for sharing yours. Kindest & most sincere regards, Johnell.

[@observationsblogcom]

Unfortunately there are so many co-polymers that a list would be difficult to generate. It may be easier and cheaper because of your isolation to order commercial material from Ebay and have it delivered by post. I have always wanted to live in the bush but it must be difficult. It is too busy here in New Hampshire USA. Just a thought. BTW, if you have more thoughts and comments perhaps it would be easier to send to my email and not add too many comments here. I am happy to do anything to help you succeed, Ken: [e-mail].

[@pierre5325]

HI Ken, Great video I say. : ) Some hints; see that the granules of each powder are of equal size, That the stamp colour is applied with the same texture, and set your heat gun at a fixed point height and applied to each test sample for the same amount of time. I do believe you did not give your creation a fair shake. It seems good, and I cannot wait to try making my own per your instructions. (If I offend, it is not my intention.... i am an engineer, and so please forgive.) pierre from New Mexico

[@observationsblogcom]

Pierre, I am never offended by constructive comments and since that video was posted I have come to the same conclusions as you. I now make the particle size uniform and continue to learn stamping techniques. Thanks for the comment, Ken.

[@KathyaKalinine]

Thanks for your work, Ken! This is so interesting! Did you have any success with coloring the extracted material? I'm interested in metallic colors and can't wait to try this!

[@observationsblogcom]

Hi Kathya, So far I have found alcohol inks are the best coloring possibilities. As far as metallic, I have no information that would be helpful. But, if you discover a way to provide metallic color to the process please let us know. I appreciate your interest and kind words, Ken.

[@KathyaKalinine]

Thanks, Ken! I bet the Pearl-Ex mica powders might be the ticket. I'll experiment and keep you posted. Also, in your second video, you give amounts for all 3 liquids but I noticed you didn't use all the vinegar. Can you provide a recipe using cups so those of us who don't have beakers can try this technique? I'm so excited to try this! Thank you again for sharing all this knowledge!

[@observationsblogcom]

Hey Kathya, I am glad that you are excited to try this and I certainly can put the amounts in cups for you. The measurements are actually in volumes so the water is two times the Pledge. So, for example, if you use 1 cup of Pledge you would add 2 cups of water. Or 3 fluid ounces of Pledge would get 6 fluid ounces of water and so forth. The amount of vinegar needed depends on the variability of the Pledge and the water and has no specific volume. So, in the cups scenario, you would start with one cup of vinegar and add it slowly while stirring. You will see it turning white and feel it getting thicker. You can stop adding vinegar when it feels slightly harder to stir. Then, rinse once with at least 1 cup of water. Dry and let it get hard and grind it of make the particles smaller. If I can be of more help you can always email me at ken.quast@gmail as I get emails faster than from KZbin. Peace, Ken.

[@KathyaKalinine]

You're the best, Ken! Thank you so much!

Look for a floor finish with acrylic and no wax. It should be water white, clear, with no color. Go to my website observationsblog.com and search for "embossing" and read some of the comments that have alternatives. Thanks for the question, Ken.

[@amkarei]

I'm with the rest of the folks below...What "floor finish" did you use? HOW did you "extract" the component you turned into embossing powder???

[@dessyedeeclark1144]

Before posting a question, look around a bit more. Another video from a woman who adopted Ken's method uses PLEDGE "Revive it" floor gloss (not truly a wax). Ken's 2nd video (and her replica of Ken's work) speaks about using vinegar (a mild acid) to cause the plastic polymer material to clump out of suspension liquid.

[@maddiestephens1322]

How would you make heat and stick powder?

[@Sweettom100]

The embossing powder sticks to the moist stamp ink and a heat gun used by crafters is used to melt it.

[@elisavuorikkinen4047]

Sweettom100 Sticky powder is a different product that you can use with old eyeshadow to get a metallic shiny colors to your craftprojects. The powder gets sticky after heating and the eyeshadow sticks to it. (Or other powder based colors) To finish the surface, you can rub it with a dustcloth. There are many tutorials in youtube how to use sticky powder, but is there a way how to make your own powder sticky?

[@observationsblogcom]

The product has to be clear with no color as the color indicates wax which won't work. It also has to be a floor shine product. If you are unable to find a floor polish with these attributes it may be cheaper to just buy the real embossing powder. Best of luck, Ken.

[@Sweettom100]

The vinegar completely removes all available polymer and the water rinse is to remove other water soluble ingredients that are unnecessary. The water rinse swells the polymer making it look larger than it is but as it drys it becomes smaller and harder as a polymer should. That explains the apparent discrepancy that you mention., Ken.

[@Crafty-xy4or]

Sweettom100 oh ok I see. Thank you for the response!

[@rosebazan7893]

4oz = approx. 112g ... and just a 15g jar of manufactured product costs me around $8.50 plus $6.95 p & p (I live in a remote area with no craft store within hundreds of kms!) So if the bottle of floor cleaner costs, say, $7 then that works out to almost 8 times as much product for less money, and in my case just the postage costs for the purchased product would pay for the floor cleaner! I think this is the most amazing piece of home-science and it's brilliant value for such a simple process and I can barely wait to get my hands on a bottle of the floor cleaner : )

It occurred to me that there is a convenient way to research some basic information on what’s in the materials we use, such as commercially available embossing powder. I just selected a random Ranger embossing powder, but here is more information than you could ever want to know thanks to the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) You are correct that it is a polyamide resin. www.dick-blick.com/msds/DBH_02296XXXX.pdf
