Thank you for sharing, now my projects will be done in a better way

That's genius. I've used the hot water bath method in the past and had it mess projects up when I wasn't quite careful enough drying off the jugs before pouring out of them. This is a game changer, thanks for the tip!

You're very welcome! I know, I've gotten water in resin before as well and all over the casting area too, not my cup of tea!

Great idea. I think I'll add that pad to my shop.

Nice! I've found them to be so useful, I hope you will too 😀

I have a mat that came with an insulated cover that’s used to help cure resin molds. I just put part a in a small silicon cup and part b in a separate silicone cup then set them on the mat and cover. The cover helps the entire inside heat up then I can mix after about 15 minutes and it’s thin enough to not hold bubbles and then I just leave the molds on the heated mat and they cure in half the time. I got my mat from Amazon and it came with the cover and a silicone cover for the heat mat to help protect it.

This is a lot better than sitting it in front of my heater
@ZacHiggins

I hope that it helps out, definitely should be a little better being a constant heat

oh man! this is exactly what I needed... confirmation that this does work! I put my gallons in a big cardboard box with a space heater :/ Eeaakkk!!! Thanks again Zac 🙌
@ZacHiggins
@ZacHiggins Год назад
Awesome!! Yeah it definitely works, it should be better than the space heater setup for sure 😀

Very Cool. I usually use my heat gun and then make it to hot 🤦🏼‍♀️

You should try vacuum chamber heat pads for your pots. I have them on a lot of mine.

The heating pads for plants allow you to set the temperature digitally.

I saw those too, but they were at least double the price. Not really sure it's necessary for this purpose

Hi Zac, Great tips. I have a Homebrewing Heating element wrapped around the bottom of my pressure pot and it really works. Take care Zac. Cheers, Huw PS Are you coming over for Makers Central in May this year?
@ZacHiggins
@ZacHiggins Год назад
I've heard people mention those too, great tip. Thanks Huw 😀

So, do I understand that the resin will thin with the heat, but it also will begin to set more quickly than the 12 min Clear Slow is open? Thanks
@ZacHiggins
@ZacHiggins Год назад
Yep, it’s a trade off of open time and viscosity with warming it up

Great tip Zack, really appreciate your educational videos. What temp is that Alumilite clear slow gonna start to gel/harden? Thanks again.
@ZacHiggins
@ZacHiggins Год назад
Glad they've been helpful. With Clear Slow, I usually wait until it reaches 95-100 degrees. You'll have to experiment a bit though, it depends a bit on the ambient temperature in the shop and your pouring technique

Used epoxy for the first time on my counter. Before I could even poor it, it hardened. Maybe because I put the container after mixing it in hot water to smooth out. ?

Hi Zac, it's been a while! I see you have numbers on your clear cast plus bottles. is that so that you can weigh the amounts vs equal parts by volume?

Does heating the resin affect working time?
@ZacHiggins
@ZacHiggins Год назад
Great question! Yes it does, it will reduce the working time
