This video: Cement and Resin - Can you Guess What Happens? shows how epoxy resin reacts when you add Cement to resin. I was surprised by the reaction and the outcome of this experiment. This is something that I will continue to use and experiment with.

This is really great for larger pieces, cement adds volume which decreases resin cost and you still get the luster of the resin.

@katosmiaumiau8210 3 года назад

Hi! Great video and it's really entertaining (in a good way!) If you use way more cement or sand than resin, you don't have to do the layering thing. And yes, the cement-resin-mix has tonnes of bubbles but with torching regularly (until it's cured), doing the squishy wishy and 'knocking it on your surface for a bit' (I hope you know what I mean?) the bubbles can rise up. And btw the fantastic thing about using cement in resin is: if you sand it, it looks like real cement...or even better actually....It looks a bit more like stone🤔 ...well great anyways😊😉 Ps.: I am too without a pressure/vacuum pot...😞 supid expensive stuff...😒 ✌

@stonephonerogue 3 года назад

you'd be surprised how many people are looking for an example of this mix and how little information and examples there are of it. The main motivation for this is to strengthen the resin, as resin tends to bend here in Texas where it can get pretty hot. Can you give any information on if it's stronger, or if you have done any stress testing to these pieces? Please I would really appreciate your feedback as you are bar none the best example of this application on the internet.

@schlippery1 Год назад

Really great, informative and "food for thought" videos Thank you for doing these... I am going to ask a silly question But,,,I am assuming you mix catalyst into the resin before mixing with POP?? I am trying to find a solution to making a strong mix of POP and "something" else to be strong enough to make bases for my small driftwood art pieces that I press into before the mix cures??? Any thoughts? The bases obviously need to adhere well to the driftwood, and be strong enough for general handling during transporting ...

@vociferonheraldofthewinter2284 10 месяцев назад

I have to note the dark color of the end result. I did the Henry's feather finish concrete over plywood trick for my counters and had a miserable time trying to seal them with masonry sealers. My final 'hail mary' was to coat them in a good quality counter/table top epoxy. I sanded the whole thing, had a bad feeling, and gave them a coat of a Thompson's masonry sealer that was 'non-enhancing'. The clear flood coat was perfect. BUT, I missed a few spots with the Thompson's. Those spots turned BLACK. I mean BLACK, black. I don't know what reaction causes the epoxy to turn the concrete black, but here it is again in this video. Now it's beautiful in its own way, but I am curious to see how epoxy interacts with white concrete. That's an experiment I'm going to have to try here soon. (I'm currently prepping to do a big concrete experiment and I'll throw this one in there.) There has to be a way to use concrete and epoxy to get a durable, bullet proof, concrete-look final result.

I assumed it would be less expensive than straight resin for molds, but I think it’s more expensive. Is that correct? I’ve only been working with resin for a few weeks and my resincrete just arrived today but it took 1/10th of a bag to make one small succulent pot so, unless I did it wrong, I’m thinking straight epoxy resin is less expensive than that. 🤷‍♀️ What do you think?

I've never really seen much that was dangerous to mix with resin, EXCEPT in an episode of Shop Time called "Dye Trying" where Peter tries out different additives to resin--He tried making the resin blue by adding a crushed-up toilet bowl cleaning tablet.

But I like the way it comes out mixed. So i'll need to do some testing. See how it comes out.

I don't know if you've tried this or not, but I wonder if you use a baked polymer clay piece within a mold would work. The first thing that popped into my head for example was making an eye with polymer clay, putting makeup on the one eye (I'm thinking Egyptian); then you would bake it. The make a pyramid with resin. Placing it in the center with fishing wire until it cures enough to stay put and then pouring the remainder. I'm mainly curious how the clay would hold up in the resin???

Cement requires water to activate and become hard. By mixing it only with the resin, you are not getting any of the structural properties of reacted cement. In your application it is just a mineral filler. Obviously this is fine, but i wonder about the properties of a mix where both the cement and resin are activated. I.e. mix cement with water, then combine the paste with resin.
