A DIY squishy tutorial using Hito Ha Da Gel, a two-part resin mixture from Japan. The tutorial involves creating a polymer clay model, making a mold using a thermoplastic material, and then filling the mold with the resin mixture. However, the creator notes that the process is not as easy as it appears and requires careful measuring and handling to achieve the desired results. They also mention the importance of using gloves and ensuring the mold is completely dry before filling it with the resin mixture.
The creator attempts to make a pink koala squishy but faces challenges, including the addition of color affecting the curing process. They try again using a different method and are successful in creating a milky-colored squishy. The final result is a soft, squishy texture similar to a silicone squishy.
The creator compares their DIY squishy to a store-bought silicone squishy and notes some differences in texture and flexibility. They also mention that the DIY squishy can become sticky over time and requires talcum powder to maintain its texture.
Overall, the tutorial emphasizes the importance of patience, careful measurement, and attention to detail when working with Hito Ha Da Gel to create professional-quality squishies at home.
