    Dirty Down Rust Effect paint

    I love your hands, especially when they end up spotted with glue and paint. They remind me of my hands while making miniatures and add such realism during your videos. The main reason I watch your videos is because I can relate to you and your (not perfectly edited) process, and your clever narration.

    Loving these little lamps, they are perfect. I'm not sure if 'asbestos hands' has a different meaning in the UK, but I've never thought it was an insult. People tend to use that expression when someone can seemingly handle/eat/drink something very hot without burning themselves. I've worked in kitchens where staff have tried to out-brag one another about their asbestos hands!

    The Dirty Down Rust is actually from the movie industry and is an acetone based but water soluble paint. What works best is to put on a coat by dabbing it on where ever you want the rust and let it dry completely. It looks OK with one coat but the magic happens when you take a small brush and put clean water on it then dab over the dried rust. The water reacts with the paint to create a more realistic looking rust texture. I will sometimes add water to the rust paint to dilute it a little and then spatter on as the last layer to really sell it. Oh and ….. I always thought it was better for creators to not worry about their nails. That way you know they are a real crafter because they constantly have ink or paint or whatever from a recent project on their hands. Spend more time doing what you love not worrying about your nails. They are just gonna get messed up anyways.

I think sometimes people forget that most TH-camrs have real jobs and lives outside of social media, not to mention perhaps different priorities. Pffft! That sort of silly, judgy, nonsense grinds my gears. You're incredibly talented Shyra, and I'm ever grateful that I get to see a glimpse of that talent on your channel. Actually watching you make those light fixtures, I thought they might work in that pub scene you were planning on making a while back, or I could just imagine a couple hanging low over a pool table, or in a workshop, or, or, or.... too many ideas! lol

    @jojosmumdorothy2829 I didn't see the original comment so I'm not sure what was said about nails but if it was your comment that inadvertently started the 'how rude' snowball then I'm gathering that you're from the UK. (or maybe are just familiar with the asbestos reference)
    Coming from the UK, I know exactly how you meant it and can vouch for the fact that this expression is really common and in no way offensive.
    To anyone who's not aware, asbestos is a material which is heat resistant so can withstand high temperatures without being adversely affected and the 'saying' in question originated about chefs who could seemingly stick their hands in any boiling liquid or heat with little or no effect
    I've always used "you must have asbestos fingers" but I also say "you must have an asbestos mouth" (particularly to my other half when he eats things straight out of the oven or has an extremely hot & spicy Jalfrezi!) it never occurred to me until reading these comments that it could be taken as derogatory but, obviously it has been.
    If I come across an expression or word that I'm unfamiliar with, I Google it first, which has proved useful on more than one occasion. I love QCM & this community but feel that the distance across the pond has led to unfair ridicule on this occasion as, honestly, it's not an insult.
    As I said, I can't comment on the 'nails' part of it (except to say that colour's gorgeous 😍)
    Ps. I have asbestos fingers and am proud of it cos when I'm dealing with hot glue, it's most definitely an advantage 👍😁
