How to Resin Ammolite Art Pieces with Fossil Dad!

[@codyfriesen531]

Absolutely love your content! I live in the Lethbridge area and your videos have helped me find ammolite along the Old Man River over the last two years! You mentioned that finding ammolite can be the hard part. Do you have interest in purchasing raw ammolite from local casual hunters? Again, thank you for putting out such specific, informative, and interesting content - it is a joy to consume!

Thanks much for the information here. I was on the right track~:) Hey, what resin do you use, and where does one find it? I know you would only use the best for these fossils that are sooo beautiful! Thanks for doing these videos, they sure help those of us who are fossil fans!:)

Hey FD, When does one stop the sanding process? Do you have any advice? I’ve over-sanded so many pieces, and it breaks the heart.

Hey Eric!! That's a tricky question, each Ammonite chunk is unique in the way it needs to be approached. It's important to note how much surface nasties existing on top of the ammolite (calcite or host shale or ??). Tell you what man, email me some pics of what you have and I will get ya going!

isnt the resin going to yellow over time?

thanks for watching wotshish! Some resin will yellow over time! Proper temperature and curing will help! Some will yellow if left the direct sun!
