Hello!

[@SpidermanFan92]

I've used TOO much hardener before, if it's a thin resin surface (like your trash can) it will cure. However if it's a thick table top like I made, the inside will never fully cure but it will get a thin shell of resin. You might think it's fully cured but it's full of syrup, waiting to pop.

yes thats probably the worsed that would have happened. i have made this mistake a few times and it when cured is was pretty yellow indeed. i would have just let it cure because trowing uncured resin in the trashcan is way more dangerous. the heat that comes off of the resin and it being in a smaller space could have ended bad tho.

[@lost4468yt]

You guys likely still dodged a bullet. Often the problems of an incorrect mixture don't appear until later. Assuming this is a typical resin, you would have ended up with a ton of unreacted amines. These would interact with the environment, and they can cause later problems, e.g. you might notice the resin rapidly yellow or go cloudy in only a few weeks or months. You might see the physical properties change, e.g. brittleness, size changes, damage to the wood, etc. Just because it looked ok the next day does not really tell you anything. I think the worst thing would have been it expanding/contracting and separating from the wood or splitting the wood. Also it looks like the changes ended up in it hardening to fast? You might have had trouble binding the next layer to it the next day, given how fast it hardened.

[@derschwartzadder]

Extra hardener can also cause cracking or burning in thick pours, given the exothermic reaction.

Speaking as a former art student, painting on the cured resin is a good call. Without primer, the paint would’ve sunk into the wood and looked really patchy and gross, needing more coats of paint to get an even finish

[@ansilatoms]

Had to share...I poured a top for a workbench around 22 years ago, and had also used a tape wall...it wasn't stiff or strong enough to hold the weight of the resin, so it leaked onto the floor, and worse, flowed a bit to reach some shag carpeting on the garage floor.

Me laughing/crying in epoxy because they misinterpreted their research… too much hardener, while not recommended, is usually okay. It will just cure faster and hotter so shorter working times. However, the research they looked up said don’t ADD extra hardener to already poured resin. Meaning if you didn’t mix enough hardener and the resin wasn’t setting, don’t try to mix epoxy after the pour because then you’ll have some parts that cure, and some parts that stay wet and then it’s a total mess.

I totally understand the frustration of running into problems & having to figure out what to do so you don't have to scrap it & start all over! I'm glad that you two stuck it out & the completed project was a success!!! Congrats guys! Can't wait to see what's next!!!

the sad face on "Can you gimmie a minute" absolutely broke my heart.

[@tiago9977]

It feels so fitting that even w/ levelling their new garage & checking the counter is level during the pour, there should still be some way for the project to not be completely level. I love how despite all of their meticulous planning for projects, they still face a lot of hiccups & yet still end up w/ a great end result each time. Not only is it interesting to see how they find smart, creative solutions to a lot of the issues they encounter, but it's usually more entertaining too bcos u can feel like you're learning w/ them.

The way that Katelyn’s heart rate was in the 100’s for most of the video is funny to me😭😭

[@Fyreflier]

I don't think it dropped below 90 for the entire video tbh

[@Zealdave2223]

FYI, I was taught that epoxy resin cure is a chemical reaction, which must be mixed as instructed. If you add too much hardener or resin. Then only the correct ratio will harden the extra hardener/resin will remain in the solution uncured. Experience (not mine, my fellow boatbuilders as ever boatbuilder has stuffed up a pour at least once) if you are high in resin it will remain sticky. Usually this has the higher percentage. If you are high in hardener then the excess will be left uncured in the solution. This time as it is the lower percentage then it may appear to harden, but the uncured hardener will make it. weaker. I don't know if you have noticed that your hardener pump gets clogged with a dark solid clump (pump clear with hot soapy water then clean the soap out) or the container that you decanted the hardener out of has dark dribbled stains down the side. I wonder if the same thing might happen to the uncured hardener in the pour and in time it will make the clear opaque. It is only a theory it may need an oxidiser to go hard and dark brown. Polyester is a totally different animal as it is an exothermic reaction.

I just want to add right here that as a 3rd generation Finish wood worker having a little bit of squeeze out was perfect for the glue up always have a damp cloth on stand by for jointed edges and fingers!!. Great job guys.

Katelyn’s heart rate being consistently significantly higher than it was playing Bendy lmao

[@MrPCC]

I feel like when they realized the uncured resin cured was like waking up from a bad dream and realizing it was all a dream.

[@NWolfsson]

It was... just sheer emotional overload. Both the distress of realizing all this destruction and stress was (apparently) for naught, and the hopes that there was actually *not* a bunch of unreacted resin soaked through half of their garage that they would have to dispose of accordingly.

[@Camilshka]

I Come back to watch this video often when I need some distraction and comfort, and I have to just comment and say it makes me laugh so much during all the issues and chaos with the resin mistake, and Katelyn your little face when you can’t rage break the resin… 😂I just can’t, you’re too adorable and hilarious ❤

[@knightyyz]

Hey guys, I think the warning about not using too much hardener was to reduce the heat from the exothermic reaction. Not to tell you the resin wouldn't turn out. It cured faster and hotter and I'll bet if you put a temperature gun on it you would have seen the reaction was much hotter than normal.

[@daiendelion]

Yes I though of that too! And cmiiw but the hardened resin could crack and shrink because it cures too fast?

[@knightyyz]

@@daiendelion that's also a possibility, but if you do the math 3:1 is 25% hardener and 2:1 is 33% hardener so they were not off by a mile and they used a super slow cure time. I'm sure it would have turned out fine if they left it.

[@lydiamourningstar2028]

@@daiendelion some resins also discolor when cured too fast/hot

I had a bad resin day, no pours were going right, resin was on my new floors, between my gloves, just everywhere. I was a weeping mess. So, as always, I return to this video to make myself feel better.

[@fantasticflyingfrogs]

Maybe other people have mentioned this, but if you sprinkle a little bit of sawdust or sand or salt on the glue before you put the other board on, it will prevent the second board from sliding around when you are trying to clamp it. Love you videos, you have no idea how much joy they bring to my day!

[@pnwscitech1589]

I think the reason they don't recommend extra harder for faster curing time isn't for a lack of curing, but that it would cure too fast and cause cracks or generate too much heat and ruin the epoxy.

[@tumbke]

Thank you!!

[@ladychiere]

Yeah, it always cures. Just, at what quality. If the unopened bucket sits on the shelf too long, it will cure. It will just take a long time. Re; the shoes, just set them in the sun, glooped side up.

I love how Kate slowly joined to Evans Chaos singing as the work progressed :D and oh poor Katelyn when he came to her the second time with bad news and she immediatelly knew. This was seriously a rollercoaster of emotions ALSO it is probably time for you to invest in some work boots and clothes that are old enough for you not to mourn their loss if you damage them
