Day 4 Vlog

Day Four Comfort

Already feeling more comfortable saying my thoughts out loud. Hopefully soon I’ll also be entertaining at the same time.

Magnetizing Bases

Before leaving this morning, magnetized all my bases that had magnet slots. Just super glue magnets together.

Tip: Super glue leaves white residue when it dries, so put it on printer paper.

A Little Creepy?

I may or may not have printed off a couple YouTube comments and framed them. Shoutout to Trent for that.

It’s not super creepy that a grown 35-year-old man is printing off YouTube comments and framing them… right? That’s where we’re at, guys.

The Molly Crew Board Problem

Picked it up this morning—exactly what I feared happened. The spaces between blocks didn’t actually stick. The porous foam just sponged up the glue.

Lesson: Don’t use this mystery foam. Use XPS or pink insulation foam instead.

It’s locked to the bottom but still flexible. Need to add rigidity underneath and frame around the edges.

The Plan

1. Found latex-based spray primer that won’t melt the foam
2. Blasted 4-5 coats before leaving
3. Will throw Mod Podge and Elmer’s glue over everything
4. Want to keep the foam’s natural stone texture
5. Build a shadow box or get a thick picture frame

Once framed, individual squares being loose won’t matter as much.

Weekend vs Weekday Hobby

Weekends are rough—so little time. During the week I have more time to dig into stuff.

Tomorrow’s video will hopefully be more concrete real hobby content!
