Resin in general is expensive, buuuut there's a type of resin called Art Resin that Peter Brown uses on his KZfaq channel. He says that its alot more affordable, less smelly, and pretty clear .

You can have her feet cast in brass and use them as door handles for your new facility! If not door handle, have them as displays so people can “shake hands” with Rex 😊

A cast of Rex's foot would be something to bring to programs, too. You can let people pass it around to see the feet up close. Also, you can cast a bunch and make small shelves or hooks. Air plants on alligator feet hooks would be awesome.

She sat still! *Everyone at home: Yay!* For about two minutes... *Everyone: Oh*

I thought you would put it as a touching feature in the zoo. Like how a alligator foot feels like next to rex’s new home. Or sell in zoo store.

I think being able to buy Rex’s foot, or any other critter would be really cool for the zoo. Especially for lil kids who can “take part of the zoo” home with them, could even include a info page about the animal with the body part. And you could charge a lil extra since we know you’re putting the money towards the animals and we all love seeing them happy.

Thanks for the shout out, you guys! Fantastic job with the molding and casting. =D

Emily: Educates over a million people about reptiles Also Emily: Lets do blue blue

4:10 I’m getting flashbacks to that trend where people put rubber bands on a watermelon to make it explode. Anyone remember that?

I just love the fact that they just put a living real alligator into goo for 8 minutes and it was chill.

I really love how both you AND Ed are so excited about these projects.

The cast was so detailed, it looked 3D printed!! Exquisite detail!

Sooo... anyone else think Arts and Crafts with Emily should be a series? She could teach us how to make reptile-related crafts!

Hey, great project! Fyi, resin can actually be really dangerous. I would recommend using gloves and having a lot of ventilation. The fumes don't always have a strong smell but can still be harmful. If you plan to use resin a lot, you might want to invest in a respirator suitable for fumes. Also, try out using glitters and mica powders and stuff! You can also embed things like dried flowers and leaves. Or maybe Rex teeth!

I wonder if curing them in a pressure pot would take care of the air bubbles. Just thinking of what Rybonator does with his D&D dice.

I love seeing you and Ed playing with the colors and glow-in-the-dark powders!

Had an anxiety attack in class so I’m down watching this in the main office. Thanks for being super duper calming to watch :))

I say find someone to help you 3D print them. Could scan the original cast and have more control over colors, too.

"it's this really cool fish, actually, and it's been died" Emily 2020

That’s soo cool! I love your channel and I always look forward to seeing new uploads!

Pounding the mold on the table after small pours would also help get the resin into the crevices and release some air bubbles too.

when they pulled the green one out, I was like "awww wouldn't it be cool if it were glow in the dark? It seems like Ed is the kind of guy that would surprise her with that." and then...

Rex is a doge and I love her so much, thank you for helping her have a better life, I honestly can't thank you enough!

“We can make glow in the dark feet??!”

I’m only five minutes in, but seeing the color resin and the solid mold is giving me flashbacks to Dollightful’s channel Edit: It went fine, very very happy

The most anticipated sequel of 2020!

The cast came out really good! You guys did a great job! Also, Bill Doran is awesome, I love his informative videos!

I love their relationship it's so adorable! ♥️

Rex is such a good sport! Here's some other uses I can think of for the final cast: -hat/bag hanger -ring holder - glue it to a stick for a back scratcher

Ooh! You can drill a little hole at the base of these and insert a LED light, and it'll be a cool night lamp!!

I love that resin. Looks so cool!

Oh please please ! I am happy to be recruited in helping make these for you guys lol this is so cool. Rex is too big of a legend. How cool

I hope they sell these in her gift shop😁

“Just pretend Rex’s foot is right here.” “Want to go get here?” “No we’re not getting her for this.” My brain cells talking to each other

Okay, those glow in the dark ones are so cool lol. A little glow in the dark Rex foot would be such a cool idea to somehow make into like a nightlight or something like that lol. Such an awesome little gift idea, guys! 🐊💚🐊💚

Very cool! Love the detail.

"It's not as straight as I wanted." My parents @ me aylmao

Imagine your friend comes over and just sees you holding your alligators foot in a cast liquid thing 🤣

Those are frickn sick! I love the way it turned out!

I had the same resin and mine never quite hardened. I' glad you guys had better luck with it! So cool!

I'm loving how much more confident Ed seems to be getting on camera ^-^ Also please use a ventilation mask when mixing and pouring resin, the fumes are dangerous! x

I can't wait till I can go to your facility when it's finished

Wow! You guys are so creative!

You guys put a ton of effort in to this video and it really shows! Had a great time watching ☺️

What'd you do this weekend? Oh, not much, just made a glowing replica of my alligators foot...

Ayy, was wondering when this series would finish up

This is awesome! The glow in the dark one is soooooo cool!

Woah! Omg that is soo cool. The mold in the beginning looked awesome

You should sell some of these at the reptile zoo gift shop

Do a update on the building site/renovation please

Still thats an awesome decoration for your home! Or your future zoo! Very cool idea!

Really pretty!! I’ve seen a lot of people drip resin into the mold with a very small stream, seems to help getting in all of the nooks and crannies!

I just adore two. Both of you have great personalities. Tell Ed we love seeing him in videos! 💙

Rex's foot looks like a dinosaur foot, Well I'm not surprised! Love reptiles.

They look so beautiful!

That turned out awesome!

The wording sounds like a move “THE FINAL PRODUCT” lol

Hey Emily hey Edd you are an awsome channel and even though I'm not allowed yo have a snake or a lizard you make me feel like I do keep doing what you do best

You should definitely use these in your programs!

Rex is so adorable! So glad she's in a good home now.

Ooo that’s cool btw I love ur vids

Emily, I have an AMAZING IDEA!! You can put the cast in your new facility! I bet that would be _quite_ a sight!

I was waiting for this video ... finally!!!!!

OMG it was sooo beautiful that green color was so pretty

Sell them in the new store along with jewelry and stuff. Have a reptile appreciation department.

Can’t wait till i get home so i can watch!

Seeing you guys freak out over a glow in the dark-Rexfoot really made my day!

Looks so cool

Instead of gifts, sell them as merch! My daughter would love a rex foot night light.

You should talk to nerdie crafter. The master of resin making crafts😁

I like the speckles! Adds character!

True, there weren't many reptiles but its awesome to do crafts like this that are reptile related. Gives ya more stuff for the future. I know I would love to see other stuff like this :D

That's awesome! If you do find that clear resin (maybe a hand mixer might remove the flecks from the glow in the dark powder mixing?) you could make resin casts of Rex's teeth, since hers are not falling out so often any more, hahaha.

Oof, yall should have used gloves. I mess with resin alot n i still end up with chemical burns on my fingers.

Ed usually you use a pressure pot with resin to kind of squash the bubbles. Usually the resin won't have a long enough open-time to really de-gas with a vacuum. With the pressure pot the bubbles get squashed as soon as you apply pressure.

I so want one! That's just awesome!!!

Emily: this video is taking a long time to film 😐 Ed: yah Me: ( checks the time) it had only been nine minutes 😂😂 Great editing btw 😁😁❤️

Literally just watching story time with Rex when this popped up.

The glow in the dark one would make awesome halloween decorations!

That looks so cool

They are sooo cool! Especially the glow in the dark one. I really want one! Its soo coool! I am a patreon but not top tier so probably will never be able to own one but i would really love that. (I also really want a rex tooth necklace! Oh btw! You should use/build a pressure pot to cure the resin in and then your resin will be completely airbubble free! Dont use a vacuum chamber, the resin will explode everywhere. Look on rybonator's channel for tips on what to use and how to build one!

Gosh I thought she was dead when I saw the title for some reason. *The panic.*

What a great video for my 27 birthday. Thanks Emily and Ed. I can not wait to see what Snake Discovery's future holds.

Wow be-you-tiful soooo amazing!!!🐊🐊🐊

Thats so fascinating! I love how you can see all the tiiiny details in Rex's foot, and the glow in the dark on is so cool!

Imagine fighting with these: “It’s over Emily, I have the high ground!”

I loved the video!!!

Wow! Awesome awesome awesome Love those feet And the glow in the dark- genius!!

Yeah...when I buy resin, it can cost, wha...(tries to remember what it was last time I went)...$20? I try to go for big boxes so I don't have to go as often. I need to find a more cost-effective way to do that. BTW, what kind of silicon/silicone did you use for this and where'd you get it? I'd love to try to do this myself! (Not necessarily the Step 1 you did with Rex, but the "make a mold and fill it" thing.)

You need one for the zoo and do a "shake paw with Rex" station

My best friend just left for college and watching your videos is the only thing I can do to distract myself right now. Thank you so much

it looks so awesome

Ooooohhhhh my stars.... I’d love a pink glow in the dark one lmao... Ya need to start selling them!! lol xxx

I can see these being made and sold in their new little store... and they look totally like Dragon Feet!

Bill Doran is amazing, I've been subscribed to him for years. Seriously, if you are interested in prop making AT ALL you have to watch his videos. They're not only extremely helpful, but they're entertaining and he's clearly very passionate about what he does.

That’s so amazing 😍

Super cool video! Love you Emily, I’m a big fan! 😁❤️ I was also wondering if you had any advice oh how to switch a Ball Python from live to F/T? If not that’s fine, just thought I would ask! (I would love to see a video about that too!)

I’m so early Rex is still being called a male...

You guys are the best KZfaqrs

omg omg omg you guys are like great at resin! ik a channel that does it and they have done resin so many times but you did it as good as them on like idk if that was like your first time...but great job!
