1:04um
1:05just inspiration for you in the past I
1:09have already shared two videos on my
1:14texture paste and what that looks like
1:18what my process looks like so a lot of
1:19you who have seen that video I know
1:21you're
1:22wondering what's the update what's new
1:24what haven't you shared in those videos
1:26and I promise
1:27you you want to stick around and keep
1:30watching because this is something
1:32completely new and perhaps even easier
1:35than the videos that I shared in the
1:37past so if you're interested then let's
1:40get into
1:46it now a lot of you who have seen my
1:49videos and have watched a lot of my
1:52process you know that I
1:54work really closely with plaster I would
1:58even say primarily with plaster
2:00but over the last couple of month I've
2:02taken the time to really explore a new
2:07material so that I can then share my
2:10findings with you and share you know
2:12kind of what I've learned over time and
2:14so I I really wanted to take the time
2:17before sharing this information one to
2:20make sure that I'm able to gather my
2:23thoughts and learn as much as I can
2:26about the product now what product is
2:29this you might ask
2:31it
2:32is the
2:35USG easystand
2:3790 um now this is joint compound um I
2:41think specifically gypsum which is a lot
2:45different from um I know in the past
2:47I've mentioned that I don't really like
2:49to use joint compound and so just to to
2:52be very clear when I say I don't like to
2:54use joint compound in my mixture I am
2:56speaking specifically about like
2:58premixed joint compound especially the
3:00ones have used like the the DAP um joint
3:04compound which shrinks a lot when it
3:06dries and tends to crack and so um I'm
3:10excited to share a lot about this
3:14material which is a joint compound that
3:16literally this is all you need um to
3:20work your R now why do I think this
3:24might be the easiest texture paste
3:26tutorial video I've ever shared because
3:30ideally um all you need for this paste
3:35is really the joint compound powder and
3:37water now I know that with plaster you
3:40have to mix acrylic paint you have to
3:42mix glue into that um and with joint
3:46compound well specifically easy sand kny
3:50all you have to do is water now I'm
3:52going to give you a little bit
3:55of I guess an intro into the joint
3:58compound that I working with so
4:01specifically this brand um
4:04USG they do have a lot of joint
4:07compounds in this series I've only used
4:09the 90 there are so many others I've
4:12seen 45 I've seen 20 and I have come to
4:17understand that the numbers written on
4:20them have a lot of meaning so you want
4:23to pay attention to where you're buying
4:25because this number tells you how much
4:27time you have to work with the product
4:29before it becomes
4:31unworkable so in this case yes as you've
4:34guessed I have exactly 90 minutes to use
4:37my mixture before it turns hard unlike
4:40plaster which sets in about 15 20
4:43minutes once you mix it up this joint
4:47compound gives you a lot more leeway
4:50especially if you're buying the 90
4:51minutes because then you can mix kind of
4:55a small batch enough that you know
4:57you're able to use in an hour and have
5:00and understand that you have exactly 90
5:03minutes and so what I prefer to do is to
5:05mix up a small batch which I know I can
5:07use a 90 minutes and use that up at once
5:10now to be very clear with this product
5:14you can also go in and add glue and
5:17acrylic paint which I will show you as
5:20well in this video to preserve the
5:23working time now once you add glue and
5:26acrylic paint to the mix it pretty much
5:29acts like plaster then you you're able
5:31to use it for weeks you're able to use
5:34it for as long as you
5:36want um and so without further Ado I'm
5:40going to get into mixing a batch and
5:42using it so you're able to
5:44see to get started with mixing I'm going
5:47to be using this mixing spoon which is
5:501/4 of a cup and this is so that a lot
5:53of people can have an idea of how to mix
5:56although I would say specifically with
5:58this product especially seeing that
6:00you're only using water with your
6:03mixture um you can mix out thin or how
6:08thick as you like I I've never really
6:11used a specific ratio with my paste a
6:16lot of you know that already but I will
6:18use this so that you get an idea of what
6:21my ratio is if you're trying to
6:23replicate what I'm doing
6:30and so I'm going to start off with my
6:32Mixing Bowl
6:34here and I'm going to
6:38mix one cup of
6:47water I'm just wiping it
6:50quickly so that it can dry and I
6:55mentioned earlier that this took me some
6:58time to make this video because I really
7:00wanted to make sure I was learning as
7:02much as I could about the product and
7:05I've been using this for a couple months
7:07now this is an 18 pound bag and it's
7:09pretty much almost done so I think I can
7:12definitely say that I know all or I know
7:16as much as I need to know or I have a
7:19good authority to share um about this
7:22product so let's get into it
7:38so I'm going to
7:41mix
7:47one
7:56two three
8:04um and this is about one
8:09cup so basically a one to one joint
8:12compound to water ratio and let's
8:16see as you can see this is a little um
8:21runny for my use and the reason I'm
8:24showing you this is because I want to
8:26show you that this is a part of that is
8:29a little bit more flexible do not feel
8:32like you need to be locked in into how
8:34much if you feel that you don't have
8:36enough water you can always add more
8:39water and in this case if you have a
8:41runny mix like I do you can always add
8:43more joint compound so let's add more
8:45joint
9:02I'm adding another qu cup now I'm mixing
9:06it up to see I want it a little bit more
9:10thicker so I'm just going to go in and
9:13throw one more quar cup of joint
9:16compound in there and I think we're good
9:19or at least I'm good
9:41and a good thing to note is always make
9:45sure to check the time as of when you
9:47mixed now I know it's about 4:00 p.m. my
9:50time which means that I have until
9:53roughly about 5:30 p.m. before this mix
9:57becomes unusable
9:59now once I have it thoroughly mixed just
10:02like you would your typical plaster
10:05mixture you can go right ahead and use
10:08it as is it dries white just like your
10:11plaster I'm sure you can see this work
10:14next to me this piece that I have been
10:15working on I have used joint compound um
10:21US Gypsum or us g90 for this work and
10:25I've used this for a lot of my projects
10:27it's easy to use the fact fact that you
10:29only need water and about 90 minutes to
10:33use it makes it iess I would say in my
10:36opinion one of the easiest mixtures you
10:38can make um if you mix it too thick if
10:42it's too thick you can always add some
10:45water and just continue to mix it mixes
10:47very well now they also say that this
10:50product is easy to sand and I have to
10:53tell you I completely agree now this is
10:57especially for you you if you do not
11:00like to sand or you have a hard time
11:02with sanding I know that a lot of
11:04plaster artists 3D artists including
11:06myself um we tend to have a love hate
11:10relationship with sanding you know it's
11:12that one thing that you have to do but
11:14maybe do not not maybe do not really
11:16like doing and so this product makes
11:20that easier because it is really easy to
11:25sand when you use this product and it
11:27dries and you use uh sandpaper to stay
11:30at sanding it's it falls off a little
11:35too easily I would actually even caution
11:37you here that when you're using this
11:39joint compound and you're sanding you
11:42run the risk of over sanding and so just
11:44be careful there but it it really works
11:47like butter it falls off very easily so
11:51you're able to smooth out your work
11:54you're able to make changes um and
11:57because I promised you comprehend ensive
11:59video I do want to show
12:02you more about this product I want to
12:04show you what it looks like to even use
12:06the product and
12:08so I'm just going to take some
12:12time just like plaster you're able to
12:16layer this really
12:19easily on your R pieces it's really easy
12:23to smooth out it's really easy to blend
12:27it's really easy to sand
12:29and all I've used is water so
12:37far and
12:42so I'm going to change the camera angle
12:45just so you're able to get a better view
12:47of me working with the product
13:13okay so I just showed you uh just a
13:16quick video of what using it looks like
13:20it's not very different from plaster it
13:23does have a slightly chalkier texture um
13:27which honestly I found a little annoying
13:29when I first started using the product
13:31but I quickly got accustomed to
13:35and um what happens if
13:39you mix a large batch or you don't
13:42anticipate that you're able to use it
13:44all within 90 minutes I mentioned
13:47earlier that just like plaster you can
13:50make some acrylic paint and some glue
13:53into the mixture
13:55and once you do that you have a much
13:59longer working time I mean honestly you
14:02you can use it for a week two weeks a
14:03month as long as you give it as long as
14:06you keep it in a tightly sealed
14:09container where it's not drying out um
14:12and so this is my preferred top ofwar
14:15for mixing all of my plastic mixtures
14:18and that's because it comes with a
14:19tightly sealed lid um but I do want to
14:23show you what that process looks like
14:26you know if you think to yourself you
14:28know I love the flexibility that 90
14:31minutes gives me but maybe I'm thinking
14:3490 minutes is not enough for the mixture
14:37that I just made and I do not want to
14:39waste the product so I'm just going to
14:41go ahead right now and add
14:44some paint and glue to it so that you
14:47can also get a sense of what that
14:49process is like what that process is
14:52like
14:54um I'm going to keep saying it's not
14:56very different from plaster it is gyps
14:59and plaster is a derivative of gypsum
15:03and so keep that in mind
15:06but with my experience so far with my
15:10experience so far this product gives you
15:14a lot more flexibility you can just mix
15:17it with water use that batch up forget
15:19about it or add paint and glue for a
15:24much much longer working time and so
15:26what I'm going to do right now is add
15:29some acrylic paint and glue to the
15:30mixture I'm going to go in with just a
15:34four cup of acrylic paint and glue and
15:38add that to the
15:44mixture this is about as much glue that
15:48I
15:52need just going to get my palette
15:56knife since I I need it for some
15:59additional
16:01mixing and um I would
16:06say I've not really noticed any
16:09difference in terms of when you do go in
16:12with a paint and the glue in the past
16:17I've mixed it with paint and glue from
16:20the beginning because I knew that I was
16:22mixing a a large batch and will not be
16:25able to use a 90 minutes I've also add
16:28instances where and I was about maybe 70
16:31minutes in and I was like okay whatever
16:33I have here I'm not going to be able to
16:35use up in the next 20 minutes until just
16:38went in within you know like the last
16:40quarter and added paint and glue and it
16:44still worked fine what I will say is do
16:47not wait for it to start hardening into
16:49stone before you add your paint and glue
16:52you you want to add at some point before
16:55that but any point before that should be
16:58fine
17:03and so this is my good old white acrylic
17:06paint I'm just going to go in and add
17:10another fourth 1/4 of a cup
17:35now that I have G to add and added
17:37acrylic paint and glue to my
17:42mixture I can work for the I can work
17:45with this for as long as I want it's
17:49always um a good idea to make sure that
17:52you mix thoroughly so that you are sure
17:57that the mixture is well mixed mixed and
18:00because if you don't there are parts of
18:02it that will harden up if they're not
18:04incorporated or if if the glue and the
18:07acrylic paints is not Incorporated
18:09properly and so you always want to keep
18:11that in mind and make sure that you're
18:13mixing as thoroughly as possible but yes
18:16once you add acrylic paint and glue just
18:18like plaster you have a really creamy
18:21smooth mixture that you can use for a
18:23really long time and so I just wanted to
18:27share a more in-depth tutorial with new
18:32information new details some of you
18:35might already be using this joint
18:36compounds and some of you may not be
18:38aware of it but I needed to take some
18:40time to learn the product learn about it
18:43use it consistently sharing details with
18:46you a lot of people might prefer to use
18:49this because at the heart of it you can
18:51always mix really small batches and just
18:54mix with water it is again very flexible
18:58you can have really thick mixture if
19:00you're looking to build volume um it
19:03doesn't shrink and crack as much as your
19:07average premixed joint compound this is
19:11um a really good product I will say a
19:15lot of you already aware that I have
19:16kind of a love hay relationship with
19:18joint compound but I will say not this
19:20one with my experience using this
19:23product I haven't really experienced any
19:25cracks I mean you still have to do you
19:29know you still have to apply a lot of
19:31the basics when it comes to your paste
19:34and preventing cracks which is don't
19:37layers too thickly that would always
19:41lead to some sort of crack or the other
19:43again don't water too thinly because
19:46then you have way more water than actual
19:49products which will compromise the
19:52Integrity of your joint compound but it
19:54all depends on the application I know I
19:56do get a lot of questions about cracks
19:59and the likes
20:02but the truth is you know this is our
20:06this is not science and when it comes to
20:09cracks there's so many things that might
20:11cause cracks in your mixture and so it's
20:15always hard for me to
20:17diagnose why someone might be
20:19experiencing cracks if I have not really
20:22looked at their process step by step you
20:24know the air in your your the air in
20:28your Atmos might be just a little too
20:30dry it might cause your art to dry too
20:33quickly C it to shrink a little too
20:35quickly that can also lead to cracks and
20:38so when it comes to
20:40cracks there are so many things you know
20:43that can lead to cracks but this right
20:46here is a really good product I really
20:48wanted to take my time to test and work
20:50with it before sharing with you and so I
20:53I think a lot of people might find this
20:55to be useful given that you only need to
20:58buy the one on product if you have paint
21:00and acrylic if you have paint and glue
21:03on hand great awesome you can always add
21:06to the mix it's super flexible and that
21:08way you can work for as much as long as
21:10you want with it um I will say because I
21:14am filming today I know that I'm not
21:17going to be able to use the entire batch
21:19in 90 minutes um which is why I wanted
21:21to include the paint and the glue but
21:24also just give you a visual of what that
21:27looks like and so I hope that you found
21:30this video to be informative I hope that
21:33that's what's really helpful for you um
21:36I will encourage you as much as possible
21:39to experiment with a lot of these things
21:42in this processes especially when it
21:44comes to creating artwork A lot of it
21:47has to be personal you're going to have
21:49to figure out what works best for you
21:52how you like to use the product um but
21:55this is a solid really solid product
21:59that you can rely on as a matter of fact
22:03I know a lot of artists that are now
22:05ditching plaster to work with the easy
22:08sand joint compound primarily um and so
22:12I've had a blast using it myself I've
22:15almost finished an 18 pound bag and I
22:18can tell you it's a really awesome
22:19product if you want to check out any of
22:22those products everything will be linked
22:25in the description um feel free to check
22:28it out
22:29I've also mentioned um there are so many
22:33different types of joint compound made
22:36by the same people so take notice of
22:39exactly what number is written next to
22:42the bag you're buying if you're buying
22:44USG 45 I believe that means you have 45
22:48minutes to work with the product now 90
22:50minutes is the highest I have seen and
22:52it's the only one I've used um and
22:56so I clearly recommend that you get the
22:5990 just because it gives you more of
23:01that flexibility if you have any
23:04questions or anything that I haven't
23:05answered please feel free to reach out
23:08understand that I am completely
23:10self-thought and so what I am sharing
23:13with you is my own knowledge I may not
23:15be able to answer all of your questions
23:18but as much as possible I wanted to make
23:21sure that I was preempting your
23:24questions giving you ratios showing you
23:28how to use it what using it looks like
23:30although a lot of you have seen me use
23:32this in the past if you've watched my
23:34tutorials but may not necessarily be
23:36aware of what I'm using so now you know
23:39you have that official introduction into
23:41the product and and now I also get other
23:45questions like you know I mixed my
23:49mixture added glue or curly paint um
23:53over time it still kind of got hard I
23:55will say keep that in mind you know
23:59right now what I have is a really creamy
24:02malleable texture but by next week when
24:06I open this container would I be able to
24:08do this with it no it's going to be more
24:11of um it's going to be a little bit more
24:14caked right and a lot of you might have
24:17experienced that but one thing is it is
24:20absolutely usable what you'll have will
24:23be more of a thicker type paste because
24:25the water does evaporate right it it
24:28does that to dry out a little bit but
24:30you can always introduce water into the
24:33mixture as long as you already have
24:36paint and acrylic glue in it if you
24:40haven't seen any of my previous videos
24:43working with plaster or what my plaster
24:45mixture tutorial looks like you should
24:48definitely check those out I share
24:50details about what my plaster mixture
24:52looks like it's pretty similar to this
24:55um but if you're interested in knowing
24:58you know more specifically what working
25:01with plaster is or what that process
25:04looks like feel free to check out those
25:06videos if you're interested in shopping
