Can you please advise why enamel should be removed?

@utooth8114 Жыл бұрын

Hi Sandy. You don't have to remove the enamel. But it smooths out the tusk is an appealing colour. I've seen tusks that have been left. Usually the enamel is stained. The choice is yours. Have a great day.

Hey there I don’t want to bother you at all but I do like what you’re doing. I have not been able to do anything with the boar tusk yet but I’m Online right now buying the correct supplies that I need. I am curious about how to go about this. Do you use that one measuring cup to put in the Microbaloons, the catalyst, and the casting resin? Do you just do equal proportions to fill up the small measuring cup and then fill up the tusk? I’ve never done this before but the tusks that I found Are definitely very important to me. Also I have one tusk That’s Split completely in half. If I put it together with my fingers it goes together pretty well actually pretty perfectly. I don’t really want to throw it away but what would you recommend as far as putting it back together if that’s a possibility?

@utooth8114 Жыл бұрын

Hi. All good. First you mix up the resin and catalyst. Then add the micro balloons. I don't measure the micro balloons. It's more of a consistency thing. You have to be able to pour it. So not so thick that it won't pour. All the best with your experiments. 👍 If you want to see more of my work on Instagram william_the_jeweller on insta.

Thanks for posting this process! I have 2 questions for you: do you do the filling in 1 step or do you pour multiple layers? And, is the heat generated from the cure process ever an issue for you? Thanks again, mate!

@utooth8114 Жыл бұрын

Hi. The micro balloons and resin fill is done in one process. Because it is such a small amount I have never had issue with heat. Also because it is cured over a fairly long time. Thanks for the questions. 👍

Love the video thank you very much. I am Wondering about a tusk that I have that has a crack down the seam. Do you have any ideas about something I could do for that Before I copy your video?

@utooth8114 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Have a look at the beginning of this video. I use binding wire to hold the split together. Another way is to use duct tape. Then fill with resin and microballoons. Hope this helps. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hpuioayd0LPTqaM.html

Awesome video. I found a boar skull in a field in the middle of the mountains. I have extracted the Tusks and I would like to prepare them for jewelry in the future. One of them has a slight crack not completely. What would you recommend to fix this crack? Also, would epoxy resins work to fill the tusk?

@utooth8114 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks. Just using epoxy resins would be quite heavy. Use the same as I have here. Before pouring the mix in the tusk. Make sure it is clean inside and dry. Bind the tusk or wrap with sticky tape to close the crack. After it has set you won't see the crack. Hope this helps. 👍👍

Is there any reason not to fill the tusk *before* removing the enamel? Seems like it would be a bit more robust and less likely to crack during the grinding.....

@utooth8114 2 жыл бұрын

No reason. If you want to fill before or after. Either works.

@utooth8114 3 жыл бұрын

Kia orana Yes my friend that is possible. I've made an ashes ring in the past. You mix the resin and ashes and pour in the tusk. Try to make the mix less than you need. That way the ashes not used are kept safe. All the best with your jewellery making.

This is gold and I can’t thank you enough for your help . Can I use a syringe to feed the resin into the tusks and what do u recommend to join the tusks together before I bind them ?

@utooth8114 3 жыл бұрын

@@jngazy526 I would experiment with one pair of tusks before using your mum's ashes. You said "before binding them". Are the tusks to be bound with a fibre to cover the ends where they join each other? I haven't done this before. Perhaps when you have filled the tusks up to the ends and the resin has set. Drill a larger than needed hole in each end. Fit a piece of metal and fill the remainder of the too large with more resin. That should set rock hard. You will need to prop it up some how and tape it up to keep the resin in place. Let me know how you get on with the test piece. 👍

@utooth8114 4 жыл бұрын

Hi I use normal twist drills. Start with a small drill and slowly increase the sizes. If there isn't one close to what you need use a ball burr or similar. Just make sure you wear a mask. The dust isn't good for you. I also have a fan blowing across the work area to take the dust away. Needless to say this is done outside. All the best with your door handles. 👍

The reason for covering the 2000 grit with rouge is to get a finer grit. This will burnish and you will be able to get a mirror finish. You will notice at one point the razor lifts off the emery paper. This is to be avoided as it rounds the edge.
