My issue with the actual pull-apart foam squishies is that once there was a torn edge I'd pick at it until the whole squishy disintegrated lol

With the excess foam you could use small scissors to trim and remove material. That way you don’t disturb the curing process and material

The ibloom thing is unsettling lol. Paying quite a bit of money just to rip it apart. What if it rips in the wrong direction 😭

Make sure to use a good mask while using polyurethane, it’s an exothermic reaction and it does produce fumes even in a small batch.

I don’t really get the point of tear apart squishies. You just end up with two squishies with raw exposed foam on the bottom and rough edges. And the tearing apart thing is only good for 5 seconds while you do it then end up with just two squishies.

I don't like the idea of ripping them apart either, but I think its gimmick is supposed to be like a friendship/couple mark kinda thing. No two rips are the same, and only the one originally ripped from it fits perfectly with it. But nah I'll stick with couple jewelry, not gonna tear my precious babies apart.

For the ibloom squishies I would just take off one of the key chains and just have one giant squishy key chain. I couldn't live with myself if I carried around a squishy with exposed flesh. Theres no way I'm paying that much just to destroy it.

Reminds me of flex it foam 111 that we have in US. Some tips I’ve learned is that you need a heavy amount of mold release for certain materials (like 3D printed molds). Only stir for 15 second, any more will cause errors in the cast. And what temperature the room is, is super important and will change the texture of the cast! Flex it foam comes in huge packs and is super reliable if you follow the instructions well

Aah interesting! Thank you so much for the tips

You can get an extremely realistic-feeling skin effect with smooth-on silicone if you thin down Soama Foama with about 20% silicone thinner and 50% Slacker tactile mutilator. And slush-casting a thin layer of DragonSkin onto the mold interior before filling with foam can make it even more realistic-feeling. Another aspect that's super important for foaming resins is that you really want to use a fully-enclosed mold that can provide back-pressure against the resin as it expands.

Why does this sound like tips to make a d****

I think that using a real fluffy brush made for makeup would be ideal for applying colours to this. You could really blend it out like you do with eyeshadow, I think it would make colour application a lot easier.

I wouldn’t say the cat one was a fail! The finished product reminded me a lot of a Scottish fold 🥺

I’ve always loved your “experiment” videos on new products because they’re so comprehensive and easy to follow as you try many alternatives to make it easy for people at home to follow! I always look forward to watching them.

The pull apart Squishies are such a cute bff gift! Help each other pull them apart like a wishbone and laugh about any imperfections that make the squish unique!

Professional moulder here! Easiest way to do the first type of design (with small details) is also the hardest. Need a 2-part interlocking hard resin injection mould. Would have to make keys and everything.

That's an interesting idea, since she sometimes uses a product called oyumaru which is something very similar but designed for that purpose. It would be cool to see the differences. There's also a product called "thermal plastic pellets" which I think people use for making models?

"You have to forcably rip the animals apart" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The instant i saw you bring out the chalk pastel dust I knew that would be the winner, lots of dollcustomisers use it to blush and apply colour to different parts of dolls, some even use it for the hair to make it look softer! Definetly fits the style you were going for here, I'm happy you found it useful! The squishies are adorable, i love the little tabby cat!

It's great, the content attracts viewers

Omg I haven’t seen this channel in years, I remember watching this in middle school and high school. I can’t believe this channel is still doing pretty well considering diy was basically a trend back in 2015-2017 and it was basically dying out since. I might get back into watching them again cuz it’s basically like therapy for me 🤭

I love watching your videos every week is a new creative idea on how to remake/diy a new trend! 💜💛💙🧡💚❤️

I just found this channel and I just wanted to say that watching your videos makes me feel so calm and at ease. I think it’s because your voice is so calm and you put such soft music in the background at just the right volume so it’s not too loud but it’s not too soft🥺 I literally felt like I was sitting next to a fireplace on Christmas night while watching your videos❤️

i actually screamed when you tore them appart, its just feels painful

Those blue and pink cat pull aparts in the beginning were so cute!!

so glad to see your video pop up on my feed again :)

Your tutorials are so detailed and useful I’ve wanted to try making squishys and your videos are super helpful

Beautiful work

The squishies look so cute!

This is so cute!

The polymer broke because it wasn’t baked completely. The baking is actually a chemical reaction involves heat and time. It should be baked at temperature for 30 minutes for every 1/4 inch of thickness. A one inch piece needs two hours

If this came with some kind of paint to seal the exposed edge, I’d buy it 100%

The little clay ditto makes me happy

This is so satisfying 😍😍😍

I love your content so much . Thank you for making my day 😊❤️. Hope you have an amazing day !!!!

The duck would probably be my favourite! Great video!

the shape of the finished chick and pig squishy makes me think.. if you purposely overfilled the mould, could you make a four way tear apart squishy?

I remember watching your videos when i was in middle school. You still upload such cute content this makes me happy.

I would just never pull apart the pull apart squishies I’d feel like I was ruining them

I don't know how you'd do it or if it's even possible, but I think it would be cute to make a steamed bun (with a kawaii face for maximum distress) that you tear apart to find the "filling" which is like a polymer clay charm or something.

maybe you could try fabric dye to colour foam like that?

This looks very interesting - I'm on a constant lookout for something to replace foam latex for stop motion puppets. A light set foam with a high flex like shore A 20, and a lasting durability. The problem with foam latex is the long process with many components, and the sizable amount you have to make for a batch to work, and the up to 8 hours long baking time. You've been through so many of these materials, and I wonder if you stumbled upon any that you would see fitting the purpose. That being a foamy clay that cures up, but stays flexible, or a substance that can be cast and baked. I can't find the product described in this video on Etsy, only the milky gel and the transparent one. So if you could post a link it would be great. All thoughts will be really appreciated. Thanks !!

Good video. Keep it up:)

The kitty looks like a Scottish Fold 😄

i don't get why anyone would want a squishy that they *have* to ruin. torn squishies are like a magnet for hair and dirt to get all up in there

Messing up on a squishy is like pez falling out of the pez dispenser. Ngl.

I wonder if it would help if you invested in a more accurate scale that goes out to tenths or hundredths. Fancy ones like they use in labs (with wind-blocking) might be expensive but worthwhile to save you resin?

These look hard to use but I think you can do it 💙

Yeah I thought it was odd but somewhat unique since there have been all possible variations of squishies over the years. They also have a donut design (inspired by those round mochi donuts) that can be torn into many smaller pieces.

The creators: ok people we need a new product that is super hard to work with but the results are so good that people keep buying it to try again

Could you do this with memory foam and like shaping it into the shape?

Did you ever consider poking a very small hole in the locations where the ears were? This way it can push out the air while it expands and with how quickly it cures you shouldn't get much seepage.
