Epoxy Resin Skull with lights!

[@genevafraser5859]

I am going to make one but I'll be using an empty perscription bottle to make the cavity for the hole for the lights

[@obscurityart]

That's brilliant! Don't forget to share the result! 😁😁😁

[@valeriepelletier9285]

Yes we want to see

[@drivingacrossamerica8228]

I actually used that on my first attempt. It worked great in my opinion

[@victoriafulton3042]

I dont usually like skulls but you have changed my mind 😊, well done it looks brilliant. I might give this a try. Cheers from Victoria in NSW Australia

[@lindao7887]

[@Mamas-Madhouse-Creations]

That came out absolutely perfect!!! Outstanding ❤

[@obscurityart]

Thank you so much!

[@kehotto1]

For your first casting you did great! I also have this mold and will be trying this method!

[@obscurityart]

Good luck!

[@nancygoodling5864]

❤️ LOVE this!! Gorgeous color and sweet way to light this up!! Great idea!

[@obscurityart]

Thanks Nancy! I'm really surprised and pleased by how well it turned out! 😁

[@lisaquinlan1292]

You must be in the ml ile, making your resin in specimen cups! LOL But you did an amazing job and kept the color so even! I love it!

[@obscurityart]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@sugargmum4517]

An awesome job for your first attempt I would never of guessed 👍💯 Beautiful 🤩

[@obscurityart]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@karennixt2879]

Pretty cool technique! Love how it turned out.

[@obscurityart]

Thank you! 😁😁

[@Limara64]

I use a tiny drill bit to pierce.

[@richardbriansmith8562]

you did an Awesome job with your epoxy resin skull Awesome Video🙂

[@obscurityart]

Thanks so much 😊

[@joseluisesparzarebollar9858]

Genial... Saludos desde México.

[@GoCreateSomething]

That does look cool. I wonder if there are color changing leds on wire like the ones you used. Time to search for led wires. lol. Might be fun to do a string of the mini skulls with one led in each one. I suppose that if you do a string of the mini skulls, each one could be tinted a different color instead of needing color changing lights.

[@obscurityart]

That would be cool! I'm starting a new resin project tomorrow.. do stick around.. it should be fun!

[@workplaylist6973]

It would be so neat if you made one with the lights only in the eye sockets of the mold.

[@obscurityart]

That would be pretty cool! 😁

[@angieangie7789]

It is s f'in cool!!!!

[@ginamay5079]

I love your skull

[@obscurityart]

Hi Gina! Thank you! I'm in the middle of setting it into a hardwood base.. I should have the update video by the weekend!

[@Pashanny824]

Awesome❤

[@obscurityart]

Thank you!

[@RedKnight.]

Amazing

[@obscurityart]

Thank you!

[@MissGlenda1965]

Love it! What is the total amount of epoxy that you used?

[@obscurityart]

I use a 1/1 ratio... It was approx 300 ml

[@donnayount2094]

Oh my goodness it turned out fantastic. Just a note, please wear a mask when working with resin, save your lungs.

[@obscurityart]

Thank you, I will! ;-)

[@stevechance4422]

Do you use any kind of demolding products?If so what would you recommend??

[@obscurityart]

Hi Steve! Sorry for the late reply! I'm away on holidays until tomorrow! No I don't use any demolding products. The resin sets solid and clear. The mould just peels off easily. Sorry I've never tried the type of stuff you are asking about! 🤷

[@yvonnemccaul135]

You can use a silicone release spray or even just a small spray of your isopropyl alcohol to pop it out of the mold more easily.

[@Embracetherandom]

came out awesome. Did you actually make this in 4 days? did you cure for 24 hrs. after each pour?

[@obscurityart]

Hi! Thanks for watching Debra! I did let it cure inbetween .. So it was either 4 or 5 days.. I cant remember exactly.. It would have depended on my work scedule at the time! I'm really happy with it.. I do my woodwork in the back garden so its still at least a month before I can make the base.. but the lights work brilliantly.. I deffo recommend giving it a go! ;-)

[@atreyusturgill]

I want one but life size

[@Just_The_Average_Dude]

Where did you get the lights?

[@obscurityart]

I bought them off Amazon. They are bottle lights!

[@PaigeDWinter]

So if there a busted bulb theres no way to fix it?

[@obscurityart]

yep but the bottle lights are made up of many tiny lights.. so all good! And also once its on its stand its pretty much as safe as houses! ;-)

[@deborahnoble7361]

great skull what sort of resin do you recommend to use

[@obscurityart]

I like a 1 to 1 ratio resin... The trick is to stir in one direction while sitting the container of resin in hot water... It makes the bubbles disappear! Slow steady stirring for at least 5 mins.. I just use whichever is the best value from Amazon when I run low... 👍

[@gcj408]

I'm looking for a hobby, how do i get started doing this?

[@obscurityart]

Hi! Just take a bit of time and watch a few youtube videos where people make something you think is cool.. you'll probably need to buy a few things but start small and just give it a try. The resin itself is never cheap so for a first one just get a small portion in case you dont llike it.. ;-) best of luck. There's moulds and resin available on amazon. keeping the bubbles out is the hard part..

[@gcj408]

@@obscurityart Thanks, I'll take your advice and check some other videos out. I'll see what happens.

[@moe1179]

How much do you sell these for?

[@obscurityart]

Honestly I just made this one for fun! I've sold some paintings alright but the resin skull I just made for me. ;-)

[@WizardKitty723]

This looks really cool! I can’t hear you very well. And your music is a lot louder than you are.

[@obscurityart]

Thank you for the comment! I had loads of sound issues for a while but I think it's all sorted now! 😁

[@deborahnoble7361]

wheres the switch set up to turn it on epic

[@obscurityart]

The wires come out the back of the bottom of the skull... It's a standard set if bottle lights.. I'm in the middle of setting it into a hardwood base... Update video in the next few days! I've been a bit invisible on my channel for a few months! Life got in the way.. but working my way back now! 😁

[@TransgenderUKtrucker]

Fantastic

[@obscurityart]

Thank you so much 😀
