    Very informative video! It is fun that it was suggested to me by youtube algorithms. I am happy that my post on BGG regarding tokens deluxifying inspired such creative people to make an educational video content. I see here a lot of improvements in techniques and in tooling and more researching than I did for the original post. Guess making and editing this video took even more time that the tokens deluxifying process itself ) Can't wait to see the part 3.

    I have use UV resin in my tokens, they have the plus of better control over the process and can obtain very flat tokens and tiles for my games with bags like Obssession, Castles of Burgundy, Calico, Cascadia… If you want an advice I recommend to 1st make the border of the token (not the lateral), give it a 5-9 seconds of exposure to UV and then fill the interior of the token with your desired quantity of resin, all to avoid the dome effect result of the surface tension of the resin if you put too much or good coverage if you use less and want a thinner coat. Your 2nd method will work better with UV resin, just have to rotate the token while it’s been exposed to the UV light.

    Hi, and thanks for this truly great video! It made me want to go through my whole collection of games and deluxify them all! I wanted to ask for some quick advice, given the experience you've certainly accrued on the subject. I want to seal the sides and potentially the top of some game components from a game called Res Arcana. These components are large, thick cardboard cards. I don't think resin on the top would work for me, as I'm sure I wouldn't be able to restack the components in the box afterward. Can you suggest a treatment to make them more durable since they are handled a lot during play? Thanks!

    • @WorldOfBoardCraft
      @WorldOfBoardCraft  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi there! Thank you for your comment! I'll try to help you the best I can. I actually have Res Arcana in my collection as well so I took a look in the box to see the tiles and the space of the insert. I guess you want to upgrade the “Magic items” & maybe the “Places of Power”? If you don’t have the expansion and still have some room left in your box, then you could upgrade these tiles with resin like I show in part 1 & 2. You’ll have to store the tiles in slots which are not designated for that tile though because they’ll get bigger, but they’ll still fit in the original box. Before attempting this though make sure that your tiles are flat and not warped. Just a disclaimer, I haven’t tried this yet. If you don’t want to use resin then I would suggest just colouring the edges and varnish them like I did in part 1, the varnish will help improve the durability. But we’ve also discovered that when varnished tokens / tiles get warm they can start to stick to each other, so if you live in a warmer climate then that’s something to consider. Properly cured resin does not get sticky.
      You’ve got me excited to upgrade this myself so I’m thinking about making a video about it :D

    • @maxduro

      @@WorldOfBoardCraft wow thanks, I look forward to watching your video then! :) I do have all the expansions for Res Arcana and I know already that if I used resin the components would not fit back in the box.
      Yes, as you suggest, I would like to seal and protect the Magic Items and Places of Power to make them more durable seeing they are constantly handled during play. In the last week I have done a few tests using glossy Mod Podge, I colored the sides with a black Posca pen and applied Mod Podge to seal. The results are very promising.
      I have also tried to apply Mod Podge to the face of similarly large cardboard cards from a different game I do not care that much to see what would happen. If Mod Podge is applied with a soft bristle brush such as a makeup brush it is possible to practically eliminate the brushstroke effect I noticed with other types of brushes and it is possible also to apply a very thin layer to the face of the cards as well which should not interfere with their effective thickness and should add some durability.
      However, your comment now is making me wonder if using Mod Podge might create issues down the line given that I do live in place where summers do get really warm. Do you have any experience with Mod Podge as such for this application?
      Thanks again for your help!

      Hi again! Sorry for the late reply.
      You may already have continued with your upgrade, but just to let you know, we have started to record the video for Res Arcana. In it I'm also doing a test to see how Modge Podge and varnish reacts to heat. Don't know what the result will be yet but I'm hoping to release that video on Saturday (hopefully- videos always take more time than I expect.) Hopefully this video can help you in your upgrade! :)

      @@WorldOfBoardCraft Thanks! That sounds amazing, I can't wait to watch it! Yes I have been continuing with my upgrade and I've dome a lot of experimenting with Mod Podge, PVA glue, Posca pens, Vallejo mini painting and primers. Here are some ideas that you might find helpful. The main problem I have encountered was the finishing on the edges of the tiles. Ideally I would like the edges to look deliciously smooth however being so thick even when I went over with a combination of mod Podge and pen or sealing with PVA then applying the color and then the Mod Podge, when examined up close they would show imperfections of the cardboard layers underneath. I did not notice this issue when I experimented with thinner tokens for example. And keep in mind I did sand the edges to start with with 600 grit. Another annoying issue is the way that Mod Podge dries leaving an uneven surface. I have experimented with countless dilution but when it dries it tends to leave an irregular surface which feels rough to the touch. Sanding is really not an option because it removes the sheen. At the moment I am trying to apply Vallejo grey primer, several layers of it and sanding in between until I can achieve a smooth finish and then apply color and Mod and see how it turns out. I wish I could use resin but applying it to the edges seems unwieldy. I also know that there is a product from mod podge brand which can be applied and hardens like resin. So maybe I should try with that. In any case best of luck to you with your experimentations and I look forward to the video!

      We've thought about it but haven't come up with any good ideas yet. An easy upgrade could be to use an anti-reflective glass on top of the tiles, but that won't work for every game. We've also considered making tiles 3D by adding walls etc, but that also won't work for every game 🤷‍♂️ Let us know if you find something interesting!

    have a look for diy liquid glass, I've seen videos of making it with acetone and Styrofoam and on tokens it looks/sounds amazing.

    • @sometimesinfocus
      @sometimesinfocus 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      While Styrofoam does dissolve in acetone it doesn't really create that dippable substance that you've most likely seen on BGG or elsewhere. I tried dissolving some, even left it for multiple days, but in the end it just became this putty-like consistency and when I dipped some mixing sticks and token punch-out sheet remains the results were pretty bad. It wasn't hard at all, it had tons of bubbles and it wasn't clear at all. The person from Brazil who had good results with dissolved Styrofoam used PU thinner instead of acetone, which seemed to create a more uniform substance. Take all I wrote with a grain of salt though, because I don't yet have any experience of my own, I'm simply doing research so I don't mess my tokens up :D
