The injecting resin vertically tests to make clouds didn't necessarily look like clouds but they do look REALLY awesome! Like smoke, ghosties, or wispy lava lamp. So much dramatic spoopy potential.

The line between a pressure pot and a pipe bomb truly is fascinating
-
You know you've been watching E&K 'too much' when you immediately think 'Long Boi' when Evan asks what to name him. Katelyn did not disappoint!
-
Speaking of elf ears... you guys could totally try making prosthetic costume stuff!
-
The experiments are always my favourite parts of these videos. Evan and Katelyn are so fun and wholesome.
-
Honestly props to the original sword makers for recycling and repurposing materials
-
Omg I love that the pressure pots are called Pascal and Max like the sidekicks from Tangled! Itād be so cute if yāall added a little chameleon and horse to each pressure pot
-
We use air dry clay for dioramas. You could branch out trying that art form, make it cat themed of course, and throw in some obligatory resin water feature.
-
The knife mold hidden in the original "handle" was such a crazy plot twist! Anyways, the sword is gorgeous! Amazing job as always!
-
Now thatās what I callā¦.a Skyward Sword. The wind blade turned out so cool, even if it wasnāt a breeze to make. It just goes to show, the skyās the limit with Evan and Katelyn! āļø But seriously though, this elemental resin series has been so fun to see with all of the different effects and techniques! š§š„āļø šŖØ I think one of the most shocking things you discovered was the secret knife frame found in the hilt! It felt like yāall were exposing a conspiracy lol ā a sword with a secret smaller dagger in the hilt would actually be pretty cool if it wasnāt just an extremely conspicuous blade shaped outline. āļø
-
Welcome to the family Max and Long Boi!š Also, I forgot how much I adore Katilyn's editing. Just Max, Pascal and Long Boi's faces while under pressure was more than enough to make this video god tier.
-
18:00 Katelyn trying to scratch her face through her mask is me trying to scratch my eye with my glasses on and I feel so seen! Thanks for keeping that in š
-
Could you use UV resin to make clouds then embed them into the epoxy resin after theyāre fully cured? āļø
-
Please please please please please use refraction sheet molds for a water weapon. It was a beautiful technique, and it would add just the right amount of magical - ness!
-
Is it just me? ..but E&K is my art-therapy! Katelyn's fun quirky-ness with Evan's CHAOS, just entertains me and soothes my soul
-
if y'all keep making elemental weapons, you could totally do a water morningstar/mace with spikes that look like.... idk what to call them, water vortexes? water spirals? i really hope you keep going with this theme, it's so fun to see!
-
26:58 I always love it when Evan gets to majorly flex his engineering skills on a project
-
You're doing the modern equivalent of the experimental procedures that model makers and miniature artists were doing in the 60s and 70s at movie studios (and continue to do to this day). Keep up the good work!
