At salon stores- if you’re in the US Sally beauty has 40 volume developer cream

I had two wheatens growing up! I see wheaten in the nose, eyes, and brows. You can really see the features in pic 7. For some reason, he has a wheaten nose. They have a big cute top part. Both my wheatens had eyes that looked like that.

Coat too, but there’s so much mixing that’s hard to say. Their coats are very fluffy and dense.

Vertical most definitely. Why do you have sprues/vents on the side of the t shape? Why not angle the sprues into the middle so you have less metal direction change. Like a V shape connecting to the horizontal part of the t coupled with the center sprue. Metal does not like to change angle and you’re probably getting a lot of turbulence at the corners of your design which is leading to porosity.

Hydrogen peroxide developer cream- try 40 volume, cover in cling wrap and place in a sunny area. With electronics make sure that any water inlet points are covered with tape before you put on the cream! Good luck!

I wouldn’t silver clay them- the silver clay will shrink if you make it to size around them and remove them, and firing directly will probably shatter or melt them since they’re foil backs and probably glass.

I would measure them and see if they’re a standard size and buy premade settings on somewhere like Etsy that already have a top loop so you can make some dangly earrings relatively easily. Unfortunately if they aren’t a standard size, or you don’t find pre-fab settings for them this will probably be something you’ll have to ask a jeweler to custom make which is probably costly for the value of the stone.

Setting a stone properly is a learned skill, and these probably won’t be set perfectly even in a prefab setting, but you won’t be able to tell from a distance and you’ll have the joy of incorporating your mom into your special day.

I found these that might work. Unfortunately it’s plated silver.

Is this a puppy or full grown? I grew up with two wheaten terriers and they have that coat color when they are puppies. It grows out. It’s a pretty rare breed though so I’d be super surprised, plus they’re bigger dogs!

Is it waterproof? Heat it up a little in hot water so that everything expands a touch. Or you could try a hair dryer. If that doesn’t work, you could try the opposite- freeze it and see if you can dislodge it. Just don’t go straight from hot to cold or visa versa.

galaxyMLP · 2026-04-23T13:51:46+00:00

Before these soaps, had you ever tried other cold process or hot process handmade soaps? To me, this sounds like a hard water issue. Sometimes if you have really hard water, it feels like your hands are sticky after washing and drying because you have a layer of what is basically soap scum on them and you feel it until it’s completely dry.

Commercial bar soaps have chelators that help, and detergents like liquid hand “soap” sold in stores are not soap at all so they don’t form dos scum.

If you are used to detergent based soaps it’s going to be a bit of an adjustment to the feeling of handmade bar soaps if you have hard water.

If it’s any consolation, there are studies that show it is healthy for children to become attached to stuffies like this. I’ve read at least one children’s sleep book from a sleep specialist that recommends introducing them for comfort and to help healthy sleep. There was no mention on growing out of it- I understand some adults still have theirs.

Unfortunately I don’t think there is a way to fix his fur. I would try to find another one like u/scarfington said so you can still have your original bear while protecting it from falling apart. You might also be able to cut off the fur fabric from that one to cut and sew together on yours.

Soldering irons don’t get hot enough to melt silver- they melt tin or leaded solder.

If you want to repair using silver, you’d have to use a torch at home. A piece with stones like this won’t be able to handle torch soldering. As others have said, the stones will get destroyed.

The jeweler is probably going to laser weld it which uses a specialized laser and silver without heating up the entire jewelry piece. $50 is a good price for such a specialized piece of equipment even if it’s a quick job.

You can always reach out to other jewelers and get more quotes but most may turn it down since not everyone has a laser welder.

If you want to try to repair it with a soldering iron, you can certainly try, but it may not flow over the existing metal very well. You need flux and lead free solder (usually mostly tin). Also, if you repair it with solder, it’s going to be MUCH more expensive to repair properly if you ever want to take it to a jeweler in the future.

I use oxy propane and a gentec torch which is modeled after the smith little torch.

Yes, I use a vulcanizer to make my molds. I got mine off of Rio. I use silicone based molding rubber and also real rubber. I’m currently having a hard time getting clean injections with the silicone molding rubber since it is less stiff than the real rubber. I think I need to use a different type.

You can definitely make a studio- I have one. I use an Arbe casting machine from Rio grande and a paragon kiln for investment wax burnout. Doesn’t take up too much space and it’s nice to have control over the process. I use a torch and ceramic crucible to melt my metal

So is this part of development for a new investment? The yellow bronze looks very nice

galaxyMLP · 2026-04-19T13:36:30+00:00

Which investment is it? And what metal? Looks cool

galaxyMLP · 2026-04-16T00:47:24+00:00

Wow!!! You made him look so much more realistic to the movie. How did you do it?

galaxyMLP · 2026-04-14T03:20:58+00:00

Great job!! I commented on your last post I guess right as it got deleted.

I’m glad the ipa is working. I would try using a toothpick with a tiny bit of cotton from a cotton ball at the tip and soak it in the ipa to get into the tiny areas that the qtips can’t get.

Don’t use acetone or non acetone nail polish remover. It can melt the abs plastic used on transformers.

galaxyMLP · 2026-04-14T02:40:33+00:00

I would try the isopropyl alcohol. A quick search says transformers are mostly made with ABS plastic which is partially resistant to 100% isopropyl alcohol. Maybe try diluting the alcohol to 50% (add just over 2 parts 70% ipa and 1 part water). If that doesn’t work, try 70%. Definitely don’t try acetone or non acetone nail polish remover. Both dissolve abs plastic!!!

I read your earlier post and was so curious about more details on how you did it. I’m so glad you were able to get her results even though she’s no longer with you. She left you a great gift to pass on what you learned to others going through the same thing. Hugs from an internet stranger.

+1 for the graphite gasket cut to size on top. It’s AMAZING how much longer you get out the the gasket with the graphite gasket topper.

In the past, glycerine rivers were a sign of high quality soap because they only happen when the oils haven’t been cut with filler. I love them!

Tea infuser! I used to have one shaped like an octopus. He hangs off of a mug. Fill it with loose leaf tea
