@@kaitlyn888 Yes. You can use just use water to thin the acrylic paint or use a mixture of white PVA glue and water instead of floetrol. The glue and water skins are usually more brittle, though. You can also use water based varnish to thin the paint if you want a more rigid skin. Latex house paint thinned with water makes a flexible skin and is used as a base for bloom skins that can be very ornate. Some craft paints are runny enough to be used straight from the bottle and even tube acrylic paint can be spread thin to make a skin with a pallet knife. Lots of options depending on the use!

@@TheWellEducatedArtist thank you for sharing your beautiful work your truly inspiring,. God bless and hope you have a wonderful new yr!

@@nyannyan123456 Lol. That was just said in relation to the 30 year olds having the same surgery, which is quite a few.

​@@TheWellEducatedArtist I'm going through the why me phase of my neck issue. I thought I'm not that old to be dealing with this at 47. But as I've seen on TH-cam there are a lot of young people dealing with situation. Your video and others are giving me an idea what I'll be going through. I hope your results improve. I'm really nervous, but tired of my right arm tingling. Thanks for the video. And I like your art.

@@amycus2129 Thanks so much!

@@kirstykirsty3541 thanks so much!

I really need to know

@@AraLove_The_ArtsyWolfYT you can use Elmer’s glue all and water instead of Floetrol but the the consistency of the skin will be a bit different. Thanks for watching.

@TheWellEducatedArtist Your welcome and awesome

@@hardmaxer thanks.

@@ArabellaGrindstaff thank you!

@@johnmitchell8925 That is horrible. I hear the stimulator in the last resort on problematic surgeries. Sometimes I think the surgeons need to go through the surgeries so they can understand.

@@johnmitchell8925 I hear you. I am having trouble with my lower back now and I am trying to avoid a back surgery at all costs!

@@johnmitchell8925 I am so sorry. I know they said if you have one vertebrae fused you are likely to have more above or below. I wish you the best of luck with a solution and pain relief.

@@georgannmartin-kumm100 Thanks so much!

@@ChadGrindstaff-i5f thanks!

@@alberthaug-t4p i can say that activity is important after all surgeries…as long as you can do it. I could walk 4 miles before the surgery but six days after I could not have due to the muscular pain in my back and neck. Just washing my hair or putting on clothes with long sleeves was almost unbearable. I could not hold my head up without fatigue. Love to know your age, if you took pain killers, and activity level before the surgery. Each person has a different experience due to so many factors. Best of luck in your recovery.

@TheWellEducatedArtist ya I'm 68 year old man retired. I been over weight most my life. Had lower back surgery February. 2023 with relief to my sciatic nerve. Had bad disk problems with my neck for decades. Went to ortho about my neck Aug. 2023 and was given referral for weight management and I started walking everyday and weighing all foods and fluids with intermittent fasting. I lost 45 lbs before sleeved april 29th. 2024 and lost total 120 lbs. All together. Had mri. Neck in July this year that showed severe stenosis c-5 c-6 c-7. Tylenol was only pain reliever I took but continued the exercises. Had the fusion oct.30th 2024 and came home from hospital with orders for muscle relaxer as needed every 6 hrs. And Norco 5-325 one tablet every 4 hrs as needed. I ice my neck both sides that give me great relief and 2 tylenol 500 mg.if needed. I found to set in my recliner or chair or bed gives me more pain than walking around. I am a retired geriatric nurse so I am well educated seeing people that have severe pain and get out of there comfort zone and shed tears but have a quick recovery getting those muscles and blood moving. The words are easy to say and the pain is real but I am very grateful for the right arm pain being gone and the nerve relief on my right upper extremity. Time for healing is on my side now and I want to keep moving and enjoying the new me even with the healing process pain.

How are you doing now? I'm hoping to do a disc replacement if my insurance and condition allows, but I have a feeling it'll be a acdf.

​@@nyannyan123456I finished physical therapy for my neck new years eve day had 4 weeks 2 times a week. I occasionally have tylenol for stiff neck for seems I must sleep wonkey some times and stiff in morning. 10 days out from therapy took muscle relaxer 2 different times. Last Sunday I walked total 3 hrs for day and needed the muscle relaxer the next morning. Going on 10 weeks out from surgery never any return of right arm and shoulder pain or neuropathy. No noticed right peripheral vision problem any more either. I have still a little loss of range of motion turning my head to the right but I had decades with more severe loss of range of motion from the severe neck stenosis. Physical therapy revealed how the muscles of my right side of neck needed reconditioned. 3 month follow up and x-rays with surgeon coming up to make sure fusion successful and so far I have no reason to believe different!!!!

@@KarenYauney yes, I am actually working on a video….so many possibilities! Great suggestion!
