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.

It’s honestly good that you scraped the incorrectly poured resin! You never know how it could have interacted with the deep resin pour. Better safe than sorry, especially with how unpredictable resin can be. It could have turned yellow or done some other wild stuff.

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.

They have different baselines. Women have higher heart rates as it is, and are more prone to heart rate changes with anxiety.

What’s so dangerous about uncured resin? I was confused why they had to wear masks, throw away the shoes, and stuff.

[@BethannyRose]

@@shaggybro4551 Resin is made using a lot of chemicals that are dangerous to inhale or touch before they cure and harden. That's why you see Evan and Katelyn using gloves and respirators to make sure they're staying safe. Touching uncured resin can cause a rash and breakdown of your skin if you're not careful and some people even have severe allergic reactions to it. That's why you want to make sure you're wearing proper protection and working in a well ventilated area if you plan on working with it.

Resin is evil, especially the A part. I’m now on disability because of a career as a commercial sculptor and extensive use of resin, but not of proper safety gear.

I cringe every time I see people working resin and blithely tripping through their closed garage with no respirators. A paper mask won’t cut it.

[@ThePesmat]

There are so so many warnings on resin bottles too...it in no uncertain terms tells you that it's dangerous.

[@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.

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.

When you started painting over the resin, I remembered all the 3D resin paintings of koi fish and turtles (the ones where they have to build layer after layer of resin and paint) I watched before. Maybe that would be a great video topic in the future :) And you can use UV resin to save time

[@tf6858]

I was very worried the resin was going to crack when you lifted it at the end and the wood was bowing. Glad it all worked out in the end. Don't worry too much about sticking to the release schedule.

[@danaondrackova3431]

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

[@meaznet]

This is like my first attempt at doing resin. I've been impressed with all of your resin projects, but you have much more patience than I. It's good to see someone else struggle like I have.

[@Madblaster6]

We should petition they put a huge board with a lot of check in the background. Including: Level both directions Use mold release Etc

[@whatthefridge1o1]

And have it visible with chalk next to it lol

[@adaed4188]

Yeah, but put it not behind them but behind the camera so they can always see it when they record.

[@alesswonderland]

They need a "days since we forgot to level or use mold release"

[@SeraliaAerials]

[@ManeLastful]

You know what, I have a board, a wood burning thing and paint. I could do it if everyone helps me to make the list thoroughly

[@JD-be7ys]

Katelyn's maniacal laughter throughout the whole cleaning experience truly exemplifies the emotions of EVERY maker repairing a mess up.

[@pemo619]

As someone who can feel their heartbeat (a sensation that freaks me out) whenever it goes over 75 and who usually stays at 50-65 bpm I don't want to imagine being in Katelyn's shoes for a day. Also last time I hit the 130s I literally puked (PE class is the vane of my existence)

[@robingrimm3443]

This is particularly funny as someone with POTS and regularly hits the 130s while just being alive and maybe standing upright, it was so funny seeing them hit 100 and getting spooked about it

[@alchemysaga3745]

You guys are the reason I started doing beach/ocean resin and now I have a side business doing it!! 😁 so thank you! (I also live at the beach so people love it!)

[@argella1300]

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

[@isabellaeckstein2575]

Katelyn's hair style is so cute!! The garage is really coming together!

[@tyleralan1470]

omg it is right, its so ADORABLE

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.

[@bryanlagasse607]

Katelyn: We even leveled it Everyone Watching: *claps*

[@ro_the_garden_hoe]

And then they forgot to level it width wise 😭😭

[@emilyflowers1105]

I feel like when Evan is advocating CHAOS! he should remember how Katelyn goes zero to 100 real fast. Like, Katelyn went from a gingerbread house to an igloo made with frozen blocks of human blood real fast. Also the skin teepee - lest ye forget.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

only Kevins that have been around a long time remember that moment

[@awooshio]

ah, the good ol' astroneer days...chaos Katelyn is truly terrifying

For some reason, Evan’s “your mom’s spaghetti??” Is so hilarious to me 😂

Me clicking on this video: RESIN TIME! RESIN TIME! DO DO DO DO RESIN TIIIIIME! Pro tip for glueing boards together: Toss a little bit of salt (or sawdust) in the glue before putting the pieces together and it provides just enough friction to prevent the slippy sliding

[@livin4thelamb499]

Uncross your brain cells, Katelyn! XD

[@kenyakookie]

I think the texture of the resin moving to the middle made it look like sand patterns under the waves, it's very beautiful!

[@right.howdoimakethat6519]

You should hang onto the cured chunk that has extra hardener and see if it yellows faster or has any other kind of long-term weirdness.

[@mr.dudeman1584]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@wolfworria8881]

20:06 a ball of anxiety comes to life

[@streamlily5971]

Of course instead of buying a wood counter they made one out of resin. I wonder how much they’ve spent in just resin over the years Also hope Evan is feeling better after the whole hospital scare!

[@Jehty_]

They probably spent next to nothing on resin. The beauty of being sponsored by a resin company :)

[@alesswonderland]

@@Jehty_ wouldn't they had to pay for some at the beginning before they could get the spons?

[@mok0911]

@@alesswonderland idk

[@banana_bread_.4550]

They got sponsored and they now provide them the resin and I’m sure Evan and katelyn still pays them

[@alesswonderland]

@@banana_bread_.4550 that's what I was thinking, but they might still buy some with their own money when needed.

[@Alifirecat]

I just love Evan chanting "chaos chaos chaos" in this demonic whisper followed immediately by a delicate "ew" because he got glue on his hand. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying

[@tropicalvikingcreations]

As someone from the tropics, I have to say, you captured the beach overhead very well. Personally would have loved for it to stick to the second or third look but I understand it was not totally up to you. Amazing stuff, I really want to dry this myself.

[@niccoloreiss842]

23:30 too much hardener risks a severe heat reaction that can actually self-combust if given the right conditions. So, taking the resin off was actually a terrible idea, so yeah it would harden but it’s dangerous so don’t do it.

[@de4830]

taking it off definitely was the best thing they could’ve done after it was mixed at the wrong ratio :/

[@niccoloreiss842]

@@de4830 I’m not saying it was a bad idea for the project, for the project it was the only option. That said, removing resin mixed with a ratio like that is dangerous, especially when you’re placing it into a plastic vessel. That resin could have easily reached a high enough temperature to combust the plastic and cause an extremely dangerous fire. If they removed it into a glass, metal, or even high temp acrylic vessel and placed that vessel in an isolated area on a heat safe surface it would be another story entirely, that would have been safe to do.

[@DaniCal1forn1a]

Hardener rich mixtures also have worse material properties - which may not matter so much for this project but removing it *safely* is best practice... I did lab work with epoxy in uni & while we weren't doing anything this big, if we needed to clean uncured resin we'd use lots of acetone or IPA (depending on the surface it was on) and blue roll to wipe it up and clean whatever it was on/in 😅. There's no way I'd do something like this without acetone and IPA to hand... but I'd be unlikely to mix the wrong ratio because I'd write down what I was mixing, what ratio, and the measurements of each component, plus the cure conditions and the time it was made out of habit 😂 (which is a good habit to get into when dealing with any sorta resin like this).

[@DaniCal1forn1a]

@@niccoloreiss842 Yeah I'd have some sort of metal bin/tub, or a proper plastic bin like the ones that were in my lab if I decided to do some stuff with resin at home 😬

[@niccoloreiss842]

@@DaniCal1forn1a yeah I’m a medic and a med student, so I’m really used to preparing contingencies and keeping absolute track of every detail of what I’m doing so I’ve actually always done the same thing when working with resin, honestly it’s a good habit with any form of Chem related crafting.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thanks y'all!

[@CaptBryce]

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.
