This was quite the adventure - a tale of stress, late nights, success, and failures. Guess that’s what happens when it’s holiday season and a rush order comes in! We had to make 80 concrete coasters for West Elm and we learned a lot about making master models and silicone molds along the way. Hopefully this video is not just a concrete how to but also a mold making how to.
The Precision Board Plus was an AWESOME material to work with. It’s a high density urethane foam but it feels like stone and has a smooth sandable, non-porous surface. It carved like a breeze on our X-Carve. However, we didn’t know until it was too late that the silicone type we got, Mold Star 15, was incompatible with urethane. Automotive primer to the rescue! We use this stuff to smooth out 3D prints all the time but it also made a great barrier between the urethane and the silicone!
Once we got to actually mixing the concrete, that was the easy part! Here are some tips you can use for any DIY concrete project: start with less water than you think - a little goes a long way! Agitate your molds to remove concrete bubbles - you can shimmy and shake em or put a sander next to them to vibrate them. They can be removed before fully cured, but they need to cure before you paint them!
Hope you can apply some of the tips in the video if you’re working on silicone molds, diy concrete projects, or have any concrete how to projects ahead of you! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Nice!
Hi I want to know how to make silicone mould shiny any idea, thank you
ةل
What I really love about this video is that you show the complete process of you achieving a product. Along with all the mistakes and things you learned. That is what fascinates me about making things - the process. You start with a plan, gather materials, fail, reiterate, build, fail, plan again, gather different materials, fail, start over, contemplate your decisions in life, and in the end you have a product you can be proud of! Love it! Love your videos!
Haha! That contemplating decisions in life is a crucial step. "why did we think we could make so many dang coasters?!?" Thank you! We always love sharing the full process, and it's often a windy one!
Yes, very nice video! I watched several others with no talking at all, and no product list. In the end, the video wasn't helpful. This video has it all - well done.
It’d be nice to seem them also test their product. I think liquids would just slip right off that coaster no?
It's a shame it's hexagonal rather than round because that means you can't.. roll a coaster.
....HAH!!!! you win the pun hat my friend! 👏👏😆
EvanAndKatelyn Wooo! I shall wear it with pride.
hahaha!!!
😂😂😂😂
🤦♀️😂😂
Have y'all ever made resin coasters? I think it was y'all that I saw doing the resin ocean and rock looking serving trays.
Yep that was us doing the serving tray, and yes we have done resin coasters in this video! It was our first resin project th-cam.com/video/tdDFDm4UDok/w-d-xo.html
@@EvanAndKatelyn resin time resin time doo doo doo doo resin time
Something I’ve found helpful when casting concrete in molds like this is to put them on a wobbly table and attach vibrating back massagers to the table, it helps get the bubbles out and you can just fill and forget until dry.
Thanks for the tip! We've done the sanding trick but never on a wobbly surface
At first I was like “ewww a couple TH-cam channel” then after watching “awww they cute, subscribe”
Glad you ended up liking the channel! Thanks!
UGH. This project is tough to watch, as it brings back all of my failures in trying to cast my Thwomp. I felt for you guys along the way, but the end result is great! Silicone is an easy material when it's easy. :P
Haha! "Silicone is an easy material when it's easy". So. True.
It's tough for me to watch too, I'm getting drink-coaster-production-PTSD.
Me: They actual remembered the mold release in a timely fashion?
Katelyn: *sprays mold release* *beings coughing* Croaks out "wear a mask".
Me: Ah...there we go. The goofballs we love.
The human decency that emanates from E&K is so uplifting.
You guys are the cutest it makes my guts hurt lol. You guys also sound busy a.f and it makes me respect you on a whole different level. Thanks for all the inspiration and cute, but most importantly educational, videos. I just came out of surgery and I'm stuck indoors most of the time now was looking for a side hustle. I think I can make some quickcrete-something with confidence, with all the tips I learned. Sorry for rambling! Love y'all all the way from The Boogie Down Bronx!
Hope the hurt guts isn't what landed you in surgery! Also hope your recovery is as easy breezy as surgery recover can be. Quikrete is definitely a good product to start doing side hustle stuff with! If you haven't seen it we have another video called How To Sell Handmade Products that might help with some of the side-hustling. Best of luck to you and thank you for the nice comment! -Katelyn
Loved this video! Always get good vibes when watching you guys making and messing with stuff :D And those t-shirts omgggg I think I want both!!
Just ordered the two designs!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍Just would be cool if they can be shipped from Europe to avoid import taxes. BEST SHIRTS I'VE SEEN ON THE MAKER'S SCENE! Hah
AHH THANKS SO MUCH!!! We always get good vibes watching your videos and the art you make :D Hmm, I think the back end system we use can potentially ship from Europe, we'll look into getting it all setup just in case we come up with another cool shirt you might want!
Mixing silicone to make a shitload of coasters with your S/O @ 1am sounds like relationship goals to me! Js. Lol
Language! Lol
Back then, when you were using concrete instead of resin.
they're so cute together, i need something like what they have
Great job guys! =D
Thanks! We still have much to learn about silicone from the master 🙏🙏
*Binge watches E&K videos*
“Ooooh - a new one!!”
*Binge watches all other E&K videos, just in case he missed one*
This is my life. Not sorry. 😁😁😁
Haha! Your comment made our day. If only everyone did this, we'd be winning at TH-cam! :P But seriously, thank you!!!
Things that will also help in the future.
Use a transfer cup wgen mixing your silicone. And keep the transfer cup around so you can check the silicone in the transfer cup to see if it's cured before disturbing your mold. Sadly platinum silicone is very finicky (but still great for its own purpose)
Also silicone doesnt cure when contaminated with LATEX as well. So dont hard coat master molds with latex! A nice epoxy hard coat will do just fine.
Also, silicone cures faster with humidity. So keep a humidifier close to the silicone. And i advise using purified nursery water in the humidifier to ensure nothing will contaminate the silicone through humidity. Youll be surprised how quickly your silicone sets.
**for mold repair**
So not buy silpoxy to repair molds. Its a waste of money. Its basically the GE brand silicone1 caulking you pick up at home depot. But its two part and costs 50$ instead of 5$. The cheap silicone patch work i did on a complex platinum silicone matrix mold survived 10 more castings.
If you have any questions about epoxy and polyester resins (for casting, lamination. Auto body filler a.k a. Bondo, syntactic dough a.k.a. free form air, epoxy clay),
Clays (monster clay, chavant, WED and waterclay) and silicones (tin or platinum for molding, casting, painting, and sculpting out of silicone)
It is my full time job to handle and understand these products and make quality products that last.
I love your guys' channel and would be so happy to help!
EnK videos are so wholesome to rewatch again and again and again
Such a cool process! It's awesome that you showed how the silicone has held up over time with a ton of use! Plus if something DOES happen to the molds, you have a clean master to make more!
That's the beauty of the masters! And those things are still in tip top shape :D
Started watching your channel. Great instructional videos. The best part of every one of them is watching how happy you 2 seem to be. Thank you for teaching me so many things and making me smile.
Thank you so much! We feel really lucky that we get to do something together that we really like, makes it easy to be happy :)
I found your site while looking for information regarding epoxy resin. I would never cast cement. I just watched it because it is wonderful to see how much in love the two of you are!
Your guys interaction with the camera and videography has really changed in a positive way, I really enjoy watching your videos even more!
So banter, much funny.
Genuinely enjoyed this one! Loved you guys taking us through the learning process! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you!!! There was a LOT of learning on this one. Mold making is still a big challenge sometimes!
Also I’m really happy for you guys that all the patreon supporters don’t fit on the screen anymore!
We feel so lucky to have so much support!! It's crazy to go back and watch our old videos with a much shorter list and see how much it has grown
Sweet! I love how these turned out, thanks for showing your process!
Cute genuinely love yalls energy in my life, thank you Im so happy for your happiness
Do you guys sell your molds? I was just thinking how cool it would be to make my own coasters, but I can't afford and do not have an X carve, or a 3D printer. I got curious and looked up your guys' tools. Needless to say, I am jealous. Heavily jealous.
Happy birthday Evan 😂 you guys are awesome!
Haha thank you!
It’s great to see you being independent of any manufactured Moulds and doing everything yourselves, big thumbs up 👍🏼
Love that you guys are learning too. We learn from your mistakes! Thank you 😊
The mistakes are kinda the best part when it comes to learning!
katelin says " wear a mask! "
i say in my mind " how did she know corona is coming ..."
I relate to the bloopers.
Btw I love how you ask us for help and actually use some of the tips.
Haha I feel like sometimes our entire video is one big blooper 😅😅 We feel lucky that so many people helped out!
I'm happy for you two!
Thanks for your help and awesome insights!
Love the music and you guys are my new favorite channel! Very inspiring, I found you guys today right when I was about to give up and quit trying to build my business, thanks
Thank you so much! And thank you for the Patreon support too! I hope you pick up working on the business again 🙂
Deffinantaly misread the title as 80's coasters.
Haha! That would also be awesome. I bet there would be bright colors and glitter involved
Definitely
I love watching you Guys. You always have such a bubbly attitude and watching your videos make me so happy and relaxed
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Wow those compatibility issues made the job a real journey. I am so behind on material knowledge and it's great to ha e so much new stuff to be amazed by. Thankyou! Happy happy.
It was definitely a journey haha. We're learning a lot as we go!
2:15 in 2020 that hits different
Haha, I saw this earlier on Instagram and did not realize what I thought were the coasters were the molds!
I like your process and am glad you were able to continually improve your product!
Haha those molds would actually look really cute as coasters! Thank you!
same I thought thoses were the coasters 😂😂 thas the whole reason I press on the video
Omg you two are so much fun lol!! You have a -special- way of teaching!! I spent two days just watching you! Thank you!!!
Awesome....thank you for making this video
Would love to buy some of these. Love you guys and thanks for showing us the process. So cool to watch. Heard about you two on the Making It podcast and had to check y'all out! ♡
Thank you so much for coming by to check out the channel!
Really cool you were able to source ideas from people on IG. Interesting that it was pretty much just lacking the primer to work properly. And I’m sure you sighed some sighs of relief when the mold still works!
It was so awesome! Would have taken us way longer to figure out everything on our own. That's why this community is so great :D
Always a great rewatch 😁
I love that you guys aren’t afraid to show your mistakes and how you learned from them. Best DIY channel on TH-cam! ❤️
Mistakes are a big part of learning! Thank you 🙂
I just realize mold release as in the mold itself I thought it meant to keep out literal mold
Great concrete project guys! Unique idea too, I like how you used the CNC machine to make your forms!
Thank you!! The CNC definitely saved us, especially since we were in such a time crunch!
Great video! Wonderful to see how the power of the Maker community came to the rescue. Thanks for sharing the trials and tribulations, glad you found a formula that works
The maker community is such an awesome group of people :D Glad you like the video!
I say chaps, they are stunning coasters, really very good.
haha i love seeing you guys having a lot of success! So genuine.
aw yess firstt
Aww thanks!!! Tyler Moses got first comment this time though lol, though second is still pretty awesome!
EvanAndKatelyn to be honest i would still be pretty happy if i would have gotten third.
Maybe a vibration plate would be a good idea? Or adding a vibration unit to your workbench so you just throw a switch and everything goes crazy; crazy smooth that is :D
That would definitely save us some time!
@@EvanAndKatelyn An inexpensive way I did it was to use one of those vibrating chair message mats they always sell during the holidays :)
Concrete tips if you’re interested.
Measure your ingredients with a scale including your water. This will give you greater consistency and cut waist down to near zero as you get it dialled in.
Use a mechanical mixer. A drill would be better but a countertop kitchen mixer would be the best. When your mud looks mixed it’s really not. If you put it into a mixer and let it run for 10 - 15 minutes straight the water will be evenly distributed throughout. Some commercial ready mix companies plot longer drives to the job to allow for the correct mix time.
Try the same “painting” method with your concrete. Mix a small amount of a face coat wetter (use a plasticizer) with less coarse aggregate (sift dry mix) and paint it on. As soon as it gets tacky dump the rest in.
I know this is an older video but I have been binging and YALL SHOULD totally make custom cool tiles and tile a back splash or a bathroom or something! That would be so awesome! You guys are so great I’m always laughing and I really appreciate being brought along for the entire journey and not just the stuff that works! ✌🏼 big fan
this reminds me of when a friend was trying to make a bunch of gems for steven universe cosplayers. she made the gem plates out of resin but they were too thick. she thought if she angled the facets that it could start to cure as she poured in more. she had to abandon the part of putting led's behind them. and just 3D printed them. but she had to do twice as much work sanding them to get rid of the lines. I wonder how much primer and a different mold would have helped her out.
we LOVE Steven Universe! Oh man and yep, we can relate to all that work finishing the 3D prints!
5:29 HHHHNNNNNNGGGGG....... CLIFFHANGERS!
Edit: Also Happy Late Birthday to Evan! (I don't know when it was filmed)
Haha! Thank you! That part was filmed back in December when we were scrambling to make our order in time!
Love the video! Great info! Thanks for sharing!
You guys are AWESOME! First time watching.
Haha! Happy birthday! 😘🎁🎊🎉🎂
What a way to spend a birthday! :P
Hahaha!!! I just started listening to the Patreon after show and I’m cracking up over my comment now!!!
I love the thumbnail. It’s like.. “yeah, we made too many coasters we don’t know what to do with them”.. hahahah
Jackbo M hahah
lol, guess we should sell some :P
I love your jovial-ness 🥰🥰 aaaaand great project info!
You guys always brighten up my day 🙂
NERDS! I Love it. I was wondering if you could make a medieval chest? 3d printed? Cast in concrete? Fires a laser?
All of those things sound amazing
I so love this Channel! This is why I subscribed to your channel! ❤️
You two are my heroes keep it up!
Just discovered you guys after finding you in my recommendations and definitely subscribing! Anyone know how I can buy their coasters? After seeing this video, I'd love a set
So glad you found us! Thank you for subscribing!! We used to sell the coasters on Etsy but right now we only sell them to West Elms in Texas. Every now and then we'll do a limited Etsy run though 😁👍
Now make a settlers of Catan board!!!
we actually have been thinking about a foldable chess board! Well Evan has, I don't know how to play chess so I'll leave that one up to him :P
The Siedler-pieces have basically your coasters as the base, so the idea is not as far fetched; unless you start counting the miniatures going on top, but still ;)
Super! It's great that you share all the ups and downs, not just the A to B everything is perfect... ;-)
Oh yeah there's always stuff that goes wrong - were often doing things for the first time on camera so it's inevitable!
i love the editing to the beat it's sooooo satisfyingggg
Haha thanks!
Who else’s video glitched at 11:34?
Did I get anyone??
yes unfortunately... :(
K L
That’s the joke.
Im pretty sure all concretes only need water to work...
I think that brand just cures faster
Awesome work all around. I loved watching you guys and enjoyed your rapport together and with your Viewers. xx
Thank you so much! Glad you like the channel!
Oooo. Silicone pours.... I love that you include your learning processes. One of these days I'd love to play around with some silicone molds and I'm learning all of the things not to do! Great video! And now to head over to the After Show! Which is always so much fun!
Haha I feel like we mess something new up every time we use silicone but dang it's satisfying to pour! You should definitely give it a shot - gotta start sometime! Just.. start with oomoo 30 instead of mold star 15 👍😁
EvanAndKatelyn Cows, not stars. Got it. 😉
"wear a mask!"
that joke aged poorly, i think we'd all agree
So satisfying seeing the molds still being good all those months (and coasters) later!
They've really held up well (thank goodness!)
This is great! I’ve heard palm sanders without the sandpaper work really well for degassing concrete. I’d really love to see a video on how to make a DIY vibrating table. Probably would make your lives easier since you’re casting so many coasters! I need to make one to agitate plaster molds I’ll be casting in silicone master molds, just like you’re doing!
Yes we used a sander without paper here (you just couldn't really see it because Evan was standing in front). Definitely considering doing a vibrating table - though honestly getting the bubbles out has never been a huge issue for us!
wow what a nice idea for this Christmas!
Happy birthday Evan! thanks to you both for the content.
Thank you!!
Very cool project. Thanks so much.
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Your videos always make me happy haha. Nice work filling that order!
Thank you! That makes us happy to hear!
I enjoy learning about this stuff soo much, and hope one day I get to do it and put my knowledge to use!
it's a lot to take in but when you're at a point when you're ready, you'll already be more prepared than most!
Love to see how your channel(s) have grown since originally posting this video! Me & my sister love your channel !
Thank you!
So much fun! You can also de-gas the silicone in a pressure pot if you needed to make more molds.
Ah that's a great idea! Thanks!
You can buy a small vibrator motor from mac master and attach it to a small platform and you can use it as a sort of "debubbling" station when you pour each one instead of tapping it. Or make a vaccum chamber.
They made a mold to create a mold brilliant!
This video had some great ideas 💡 and tips thank for sharing 👍👍👍
Thank you!!
Okay I was just going back to your old videos and I just want to point out how much y'all changed. These older videos and your more current ones are 10/10. They are just a little bit different. Finger lickin' good.
I love your coasters. They're beautiful.
Thank you so much!
omg you have such a good energy! i feel sooooo happier after watching your videos. they are so informational also, i'm a subscriber now and can't wait to binge watch all your previous vids! greetings from poland
Thank you so much! Really means a lot! And hello from Texas :D
Three things that I would like to play with, X-Carve, Cement, and Silicone moulds.
Thanks for the tips!
You're very welcome!
How you have so much energy and smile and fun!?! I mean it's awesome and infectious :D Thanks for making videos
Haha in this case it might have been the sleep deprivation making us loopy! :P Thank you and glad you like the videos! :D
This is so cool. You guys are such a cool couple. Keep up the cool work!
Thank you so much!
You guys are my favorite! So much love so much joy!
Aww thank you!!
Very cool, looking to work with silicone soon, so these tips are helpful. :)
Awesome glad to hear it 😃 good luck and have fun!!
I love the molds!!!!🥰
cool video,i use a handheld kitchen mixer with dough hooks to mix silicone,on a low setting,works like a charm
That's a great idea! Especially for big batches!
That drip on the beat drop was everything
Really cool machine and an awesome video made by two awesome people
Thank you and thank you! :D
This was a lot of fun to watch. If you vibrate the concrete with a sander after you pour, the air bubbles will dissipate.
Thank you! Ah yes, we did do that but I can't remember if it made it into the edit or not haha (it's been a bit since we edited this one!)
Great video.
I really like watching the failures as well as the finished products, and they way you work around the kinks. Great stuff.
Inching in on 100k subs! :O
Thank you! The failures are a big part of the process! Ohhhh man I know 100k is getting closer and closer, it's super exciting :D
When applying spray primer - use a small brush to work the primer into spots that are hard to hit, and move around the excess into the thinner areas. The resulting smooth surface should help with your molds. Thanks!
