Rainbow Bench tests + KoolAid is SOUR
Added 2019-12-09 20:45:15 +0000 UTCSo we already kinda spilled the beans to you guys, but before we filmed the alcohol ink project we actually filmed a rainbow bench! This one is going up this Friday. We'll share the finished shots soon, but one interesting part (really, like half the video) is doing various tests to see how different dyes worked to color wood. We tried a couple meant for wood (Unicorn Spit, a gel stain, and FolkArt Ultra Dye, an acrylic stain) and those both worked pretty well. Runner ups were alcohol ink and actually KoolAid!!!! Which I still kinda want to use in a future project... because that would be hilarious and it makes the workshop smell like a fruity palace. Duds were food coloring and fabric dye, although our dye was prettttttty old so who knows haha. It was really fun to experiment though.
Also, I did not realize that Koolaid is basically just citric acid and artificial flavors meaning when it's concentrated in a shot glass sized cup with no sugar, it is TART. Yes, we tried it.
Anyways, happy monday everybody!
