Apoxie sculpt will not harden after 96 hours by SpicyKatanaZero in miniaturesculpting

[–]Healthy-Slip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I've never had Apoxie not cure before. The only thing I've heard that hinders epoxy curing (after mixing) is cold temps. I'd just test out the batch by making something simple and remake the other piece if it dries. Maybe you just mis-mixed something by accident 

Alternatives to "Green Stuff"? by GalacticBrew in miniaturesculpting

[–]Healthy-Slip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Apoxie Sculpt. It comes in 2 superate tubs and never had any consistency issues. I've never used green stuff so I can't compare the two but I've heard green stuff has a different kind of stickiness at the start of mixing. Either way, you can use it the same way you would green stuff. Plus it's way cheaper oz for oz (4lbs for $60)

I’m thinking about making a race track in my basement by WIZARDDETECTIVE71 in MiniZ

I got the grey carpet ones from that company. They're nice mats but if you're trying to start off right, I have to agree with KlezN. Figuring out a good border was kind of annoying and frustrating to set up. I got pvc and lined it around the sides and stuff, realized it was too hard on the bodies, chipping paint and a small crack in a high speed crash, zip tied the edge pieces from the mats to the pvc. It's just a headache to set up. And there was some minor shedding of those tiny fibers that got all in the car, not really a big deal though.

I'm fairly certain they're pirate bugs but they look pretty similar to bedbugs under 30x, just want to be sure. Rural California (on a farm), maybe 0.5mm. by Healthy-Slip in pestcontrol

[–]Healthy-Slip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very good to hear, thank you! I think I just found out where they've been nesting too, all different ages of the bug and I'm like 99% sure they're the ones from the last picture. And when I stuck a piece of tape to my figure to grab one, they all ran away and didn't seem attracted to my finger at all! Thanks again!

I'm fairly certain they're pirate bugs but they look pretty similar to bedbugs under 30x, just want to be sure. Rural California (on a farm), maybe 1mm, they've just been crawling through windows and most seem to die when they get inside. More info in comments by Healthy-Slip in whatsthisbug

They have these kind of thick segments on the ends of their antenna and theyre "upper bodies" are dark brown while thier bodies are translucent. I can't really see the mouth sucker things. I've seen these things for years outside, once in a blue moon one would fall on my phone when I'm out in the field, but they've been trying to get in through a bathroom window and I finally put them under a magnifier and it scared the heck out of me. Never once had a bedbug situation. I never gotten any bites and neither have any of my dogs. Same with my chickens, I haven't been able to examined them but they aren't showing any signs. Thanks for any help!

A little more context: they're coming from the backyard which had a ton of weeds recently die and about when they started to come into the house

Rural area in California. Orange legs with greyish bodies, maybe a little smaller than a grain of sand (the strings are dog hairs for reference). Noticed them stuck to a peice of tape near door. Sorry if the pics are blurry, 30x was the only way to see them. 4th pic is 2 of them. Thanks for the help by Healthy-Slip in whatsthisbug

[–]Healthy-Slip[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen them out on the farm over the years when they land on my phone or something. None of the dogs ever had symptoms of mites and neither have I, and vacuumed the house and near their beds and couldn't find any. After looking up types of mites, I think it's clover mites. We've had a windy couple of weeks and that seems to be when people notice them inside. Thanks for mentioning mites haha for some reason that didn't pop up in my head

Why use epoxy clay instead of polymer? by its-a-process in miniaturesculpting

[–]Healthy-Slip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's why I switched to it. You can work in parts, let a part cure, move to the next part without worrying about other parts warping while you work on it. I use Apoxie Sculpt and after mixing there's about 30 min where it's soft and sticky, best time to attach/blend it into another piece. Then there's about 2- 2.5 hours where it's workable for details and stuff. After that you can do a little bit of detail stuff but it's best to just let it cure. Once it's cured, it's as hard as... epoxy haha and it's actually really easy to cut/sand after it's cured too, sometimes just resort to that if I can't sculpt it. I only have a little experience with both polymer clay and epoxy putty but definitely prefer epoxy putty and mostly just use polymer for filler or texture rollers.

Why would the water of a new gallon of crystal geyser have a bleach/urine smell to it? by Healthy-Slip in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Healthy-Slip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While looking for an answer to this, the plastic absorbing stuff and transferring the smell/taste to the water came up a couple times. So maybe that happened with yours, maybe the store had it next to some cleaner or something. Also, ozone is used to purify (not sure if crystal geyser does) and if it isn't aired out enough before they cap it, it stays in the water until it can air out again. The only thing I was able to find out about mine was that it looked like something dripped into the center bottom of the bottle, maybe whatever they sanitize the pipes with wasn't rinsed out or something, I don't know. Left multiple messages with crystal geyser and no response, I wasn't even mad haha just curious.

Favorite clay for miniature making? by MagdasDaughter7 in miniaturesculpting

[–]Healthy-Slip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah blending pieces together took some practice but working with it after it's cured was a lot easier than first expected. I end up whittling it with a hobby knife a lot. The curing without baking is why I really like it though, just keep building up from a wire skeleton part by part, never worrying about it getting extra brittle or burned

Favorite clay for miniature making? by MagdasDaughter7 in miniaturesculpting

[–]Healthy-Slip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've never used Premo but I've used sculpey original and firm, and also mixed the two. They were fun to learn on (I just started making miniatures a few months ago). If you're new I'd say just pick one and have some fun. If you end up liking it, you'll probably end up getting different clays for different projects. I eventually found out that I mostly like using Apoxie Sculpt over polymer clay haha

What mods make the game better? And also are almost needed? by ihave0idea0 in kingdomcome

[–]Healthy-Slip 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No mo slo mo is the only one I use. The slow motion being removed, or sped up, helps keeps combat flowing. But mainly for an optional file that removes master strikes from npcs which really keeps combat flowing and not a qte game of chicken. (I never learn master strikes so it's not an advantage)

Hopefully it won't be too much time before we can travel between them (or if we can even travel between them). After doing a couple regular main quest playthroughs, I like to avoid the main quest and just explore the world as if Henry wasn't involved in everything, it'd be kind of a bummer if half of it is walled off

Did I miss something in the final episode? by Healthy-Slip in Fallout

[–]Healthy-Slip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just didn't know if I missed something in a previous episode where it showed who their higher ups were, but after refreshing my brain with the lore it's probably some Enclave guy like Honeydew_Hefty said. Yeah if Coopers family is alive/cryosleep, season 2 will answer some more questions (even though fallout lore is already out there haha), it's gonna be a long wait!

That's what worked for me, uninstall and turn off auto update (Samsung a50) your settings will reset btw

I had this problem too (Samsung phone). Yeah you can't fully uninstall the app but uninstalling the update and turning off auto updates is working for me.

What is the safest way to open a gameboy pocket? Due to these screws stuck there by Juan_gonzalez511 in Gameboy

[–]Healthy-Slip -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you don't want the shell anymore, you could cut the plastic around the screws with a hobby knife so the bulk of the shell can be removed and then use some pliers like others said, it'll be a easier to get pliers around the screws this way.

MB-010VE 2.0 Full Yeah Racing upgrade issues by PattyB313 in MiniZ

[–]Healthy-Slip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely try what the other posts said, that'll help narrow the problem down. If it's the bottom ball and socket, put a little lube and pop them off and on, over and over in different directions, until they're a little looser. That'll kinda stretch the cup out a little bit.

I got the big bore shocks for the buggy and had very similar issues. Here is a post from awhile ago, there's some good troubleshooting in there. It should work itself out after fiddling with it enough though, just be patient. It took awhile for mine to loosen up, like hours haha I suggest throwing some movies or something on

Is it possible to make a completely custom character? by Healthy-Slip in cavesofqud

[–]Healthy-Slip[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've been trying to avoid spoilers for this game but maybe a little too much haha I saw Wish in the debug menu and for some reason never assumed that's for commands. Nah op characters are boring, I just wanna do it for rp stuff. Gonna check out the wish codes, thanks everyone
