You can also check glass gap by laying it on its side and gently tilting it to move the air bubble around. Compare bubble diameter when in the middle to the sides. Bigger bubble in the middle means smaller gap, so add water. Just tried it and it was a good indicator.

This is a great visual tool to be able to tell by eye! Nice job!

This is a fantastic video... Please NOTE: The background (noise) music is a little too LOUD making it hard to understand/hear you at times... We don't need to listen to music All we want is to HEAR YOU Talk...

[@NotPaanMasaala]

Well sir, all these are absolute masterpieces and I have always wanted to learn the art. Could you please make a video on how to make these !

[@ham0711]

Well, we probably won't make a video on how to make them, Rajshree. But, it is two panes of glass, silicone, sands, a liquid (we use water) and a frame.

[@reidpayne6539]

I love the way my deep see admiral looks! However, when I flip it, all of the bubbles group in the middle while the sand falls freely from both sides. Any tips?

[@chriswootten9094]

The KB collection sand art is sand, air and water. The sand is heavy and wants to settle at the bottom. Air rises to the top and wants to escape. Water hosts the party. When you turn the sand art over, your sole job is to get the bubbles to go all the way across to create an air barrier that holds up the sand. The sand then finds the weakest link in the bubbles to fall to create the mountains, valleys and dunes. Best of all, with the included injector, you can adjust the amount of air in your sand art. Less air means faster falling sands. More air means slower flows. Watch the video "How to adjust the air in your sand picture" on KZbin. And wall all of the tutorial videos on the Knowledge Center of our website www.movingsandart.com.

I am truly struggling with my sand art. I love it so much but it needs something! Is there anyway I can send a picture for a diagnosis?

[@ranazahr7515]

Hello. Thanks for the video, very informative! I have a bigger problem with the exodic sand, sand doesn't fall no matter what I do, shaking or flipping, some how the liquid is too thick and the sands are stuck to one another. Any suggestions will be very helpful and appreciated. Thanks so much

[@chriswootten9094]

Hello Rana and thanks for your comments. Our video was made for the KB collection sand art. Exotic Sands is a different concept and our injector into the air hole does not work on their sand art. Please write to [e-mail] for advice on what to do. I am sure he will be eager to help. You can also enjoy the KB collection sand art at www.movingsandart.com

Hi Chris, I have what I can only describe a very early version of sand art. I purchased it in Hawaii around 1986. It is still working but has lost water and air but I would like to restore it. Do you have any knowledge of the history of the Sandscape©1986 ? Cheers john

[@Real_JKDOS]

Look for a tiny hole on any side of it. You can add air or water

[@lemanh2242]

Can I change the glicerina solution with the corresponding one? Because it's hard to find where I live

[@chriswootten9094]

The medium for the KB collection sand art is water. A soapy water. If you have a different make of sand art, I would recommend speaking to that maker as we do not use glicerina. Adding our mixture might do terrible harm to your sand picture.

Hi, so I have one from last x-mas and it’s been great. Recently, however, I seem to be unable to remove the air that’s accumulated. Would that be a needle issue or a sealant issue?

Most likely the needle is jammed. If you are unable to flush it out, you can order a new injector here: movingsandart.com/collections/sand-art-accessories-stands/products/standard-injector-kb-collection-sand-art

[@tonyacrawford8656]

Question. My sand art (I have the Diamond Ring movie-Medium sized), it acts like I have too much air, but checking with my gauge, it's right in the mark. I get some huge bubbles. And sometimes it takes forever to flow. Suggestions?

[@movingsandart9846]

Tonya, Sometimes the air scale isn't quite up to the liking each individual would prefer. It sounds like you may want a little less air in your sand picture for a quicker flow to your sand picuture. For a better visual please visit our knowledge center for a few short tutorial videos on how to use your KB Collection sand picuture. movingsandart.com/pages/knowledge-center Regards, Lindsey

[@chriswootten9094]

Hello Nathan, I know there are several Chinese sand pictures selling on the market now without an injector. Sandscape is one of them. Please note they are not the same as the KB collection sand art (Austria). I cannot tell you what gauge of needle they recommend but we recommend at size 27 gauge needle. Bigger than 24 and you will surely damage the silicone. Let me invite you to visit the real KB collection sand art on our website www.movingsandart.com

[@movingsandart9846]

You need to remove some air. Use the included air scale, and the injector to remove air from your sand picture. We have tutorial videos on our page for how to adjust the air. Shaking is not required or even desired from the sand art.

How do you resolve the issue of you have added too much water? Do you just to wait for the water to evaporate?

We advise never to remove water. Of course, that means our water. If you added too much water on your side, you can remove it the same way you added the water -- except opposite.

So I have 2 of these and I love them but recently they aren’t working as well as they should be. I went to pharmacy and bought a needle. .25 cents for one. And they still aren’t working ... one has a solid air bubble I’ve tried taking out air. And got a lot of um what looks like suds bubbles the really tiny ones. Can anyone help

[@movingsandart9846]

Hello Jennifer, Depending on how long you have owned your sand pictures for they may be thirsty. The sand pictures need water or our soap refill added every 9 months to a year. The video you are commenting on shows you how to add water or even test the pressure. The sand picture you describe as small sudsy bubbles sound like you may have a leak in your seal. Do not worry we have a fix for that: movingsandart.com/collections/sand-art-accessories-stands/products/sealant-repair-kit-for-kb-collection-sand-art Hope this helps!!

[@melissahulon1907]

How would you purchase replacement sand/ glitter for my sand art picture? Some was lost when resealing it

[@chriswootten9094]

I am afraid that is not possible. The recipe of sand is just that. It is not equal parts this color and that color. It is a recipe.

[@melissahulon1907]

How about purchasing a complete recipe for that particular found....I could just empty out all existing sand and put in the formula that goes in it?

[@melissahulon1907]

Sorry...I meant for that picture

[@chriswootten9094]

@@melissahulon1907 I understand the question, Melissa. Again, it is impossible. Our KB collection sand art is made in Austria and shipped to us in Colorado for distribution in the USA. I suppose it would be possible to remove the frame, remove the sealant at one point, add some sand, add more silicone to seal the sand art, reattach the frame ... but I would not recommend doing this. Our sand art is handmade so it is not 100% the same with every sand picture but it should take up about 48% of your sand picture.

I just got a round one, but it always just makes a flat "landscape" once all the sand has fallen - is that normal?..

[@movingsandart9846]

With the KB collection sand art, we make mountains, valley and dunes. Of course, that assumes you turn the sand art over so the bubbles go all the way across to create an air barrier. This video talks about when / how to add water. Please watch the many videos on how to adjust the air in your sand art.

[@Lloyd.B.]

@@movingsandart9846 At 1:46 the round one and the one to right have both settled so the sand is a horizontal line. That is what I mean, is it normal?.. The one I have makes peaks but only in the process of falling - once it's all settled it's a flat line.

[@movingsandart9846]

@@Lloyd.B. That is what happens, Lloyd. Once the bubbles break, the sand fills in the valleys and completes the cycle of the falling sand. Once the cycle is complete, turn it over and start again. And again. And again. Each turn will be uniquely different as the bubbles will not cooperate the same way twice.

[@Lloyd.B.]

@@movingsandart9846 OK thanks, just checking.

[@daviddibble958]

How do you create the mountain peaks?

[@chriswootten9094]

When you turn over the sand art, the individual must get the bubbles to go all the way across to make an air barrier. Sometimes, it happens by itself. Personally, it is worth the extra tiny effort to help the bubbles to go to both sides. You can manipulate the air bubbles by picking up one side of the other to move to where they need to go.

[@Maddox_117]

I have one of these and I have never changed anything in it and I really need to. The thing is, is that there is no hole to insert the needle

[@movingsandart9846]

Hi Mubbix, There have always been different takes on sand art. The KB collection sand art has air holes so the user can adjust the air. If your sand art does not have such air holes, you have (unfortunately) disposable art. If there is no way to adjust the air, sorry, you cannot assist your sand art. Right now, there is a lot of cheap Chinese knockoffs on the market and I feel sorry for those consumers. Buy with caution. Buy the KB collection sand art (www.MovingSandArt.com).

[@omgness1234]

What to do if I have a lot of little foamy bubbles?

[@chriswootten9094]

Micro bubbles. This would happen if the art is shaken. Usually, those bubbles break up after 24 hours and go back to their normal size. You can run the bubbles over and back over each other. This will help to break up the bubbles. You can also try to remove as much air as you can with the injector and then replace it with new air.

[@dkhnova]

I don't have the needle. Will a basketball needle work?

[@chriswootten9094]

Absolutely not. The gauge of the needle is they key and a basketball needle is too thick. You can order replacement injectors / needles on our website www.movingsandart.com under the accessories page. You probably just need our standard injector set.

[@ron879]

Welcome to our world where Chinese knockoffs are cheaper and inferior. I say disposable art is a waste at any price.

[@chriswootten9094]

Hello Helen, There are two enemies of sand art -- and they are the same. Pressure. If you only remove air, remove air, remove air without replenishing any of the evaporated water, the panes of glass can pinch inward and crack. And the opposite is also true. If we add too much water, the panes of glass can break outward. Near the end of this video is a key written paragraph that tells you when you have added the right amount of water from a scientific perspective. This might be the most important part of the video as the eye cannot know when we have added water if we have added the right amount.

[@Khulotcia]

Mine got cracked so sad

[@movingsandart9846]

A sandpicture primarily breaks for one of two reasons -- and they are the same: Pressure. If you remove air continuously with never replenishing any of the evaporated water (we recommend spring water), the panes of glass can pinch inward and possibly break. It is also possible to add too much water (think water balloon) and have the panes of glass break outward due to too much pressure.
