@@SteveMcDonaldArtsandCrafts I have been having issues with 1 to 1 forever getting extremely hot and being full of bubbles I bought a vacuum pot as a result but I had no idea I could avoid the massive panic of the insane time limit by just using a different resin. I knew there were slower resins but nobody explained to me how much trouble you could save using the right resin for the right job. I cannot believe not a single channel as mentioned this. I don’t actually do deep pour stuff but I do really huge surfaces and it’s a frantic race to delete the bubbles, I could have saved myself a lot of anxiety.

Let me make it shorter for everyone instead of watching him take temp readings for 11 minutes: don't use regular resin for a deep pour, it gets too hot and looks terrible. If you have to do a deep pour, buy something called "deep pour resin". You're welcome.

FYI, a deep pour resin isn't necessary. You can use regular stuff, but have to make layers (which can actually give you more options). It will take you a LOT of resin to do this, so account for that.

@llamasugar5478 9 ай бұрын

I did that because I only had 1:1 resin. One thing I did was pour the next layer before the previous one was completely cured. The layers didn’t show at all, and I was so pleased. (unfortunately, I don’t recall who taught it)

@aprildegele1510 no need for that. Just get a pressure pot. They are like $40 at harbor freight. You do your pore, put it in the pressure pot, and air it up to 60 psi. The pressure causes the bubbles to become microscopic. A lot cheaper than buying deep pore resin.

I always do deep pours with regular epoxy. I just pour in layers. The trick is to do the second pour just as the epoxy gets sticky. Also, the epoxy that I use never seems to have bubbles.

I had a gallon dirty pour bucket on a countertop job, start smoking before I could get it poured out! Luckily, it was winter, with snow on the ground, so I was able to get it outside and in a metal trashcan with a lid. Amazingly, it cooled enough to cure into a lovely agate looking block, that I plan on sculpting into some bookends eventually.

@miniscenesgb 9 ай бұрын

Deep pour degasses well too doesn't it. My regular 1 to 1 will easily do the depth you show here, and more, but for flowers I still use deep pour as you say anyway because of the low viscosity being better for releasing bubbles from the flowers. Good advice Steve :)

@teexpert.official 9 ай бұрын

You're right, as the heat will also dull the colour of the flowers, so deep pour would be a better option. It is true that 1:1 regular resin can carry such a deep project, but make sure that your resin mixture doesn't get very hot before you pour it into the mould. Since warming up means that the curing reaction is taking place, the resin will become more viscous in a short period of time, and the bubbles will not be able to defoam themselves, which can lead to a whole host of problems. Deep pour is a combination of things that allows you to mix more, work longer, and pour deeper casting resin all at once. Obviously, a safer choice.

I've (thankfully) only once experienced flash curing, when I mixed too much resin in a cup. It went super hot, super fast, I didn't even get to pour it. It was a tiny amount compared to what you mixed here, but it freaked me out. I have deep pour from Teexpert waiting for warmer weather. It's been around -10 °C or more here for a month, and keeping my workspace (an old garage) warm enough to do resin pours would cost a fortune.

You also need to be careful if your resin is older too. It will flash cure way faster than a fresher resin will.

@fairyspunfibers9098 9 ай бұрын

@marilynhansen7881 Marilyn, yes! Do it in layers UNLESS you are using a Deep Pour resin. To prevent the hated "witness lines" on a layered pour (using a non-deep pour resin), pour each succeeding layer BEFORE the previous layer has completely cured. If it's still 'dentable', it's safe to pour on the next layer - not too deep! And, no. Deep Pour is not required for a normal layered pour, unless the mold is massive. In which case, use the Deep Pour in layers. Deep Pours can normally be used up to 4" deep, but... _READ THE DIRECTIONS!_ Each company's resin is a diffetent chemical compound from all others. Directions can be vitally important! And, believe them! Good luck!

Bottom line.....don't pour too much resin at one time. Have the patience to pour it in layers, letting each layer cure properly, otherwise it will 'exotherm' meaning it will over heat, possibly ruin the mold, and give off nasty fumes and you can get a very serious chemical skin burn.

I had a ~3.5cm/~1.5in ice cube tray with a silicone base to push the cubes out, and I used it to put a mimosa tree flower in resin. When I was pouring resin in something else, I noticed that the flower pour got really bubbly and when I picked up the tray I realized it was scalding hot. I never understood why until now. I thought that the flower had caused a chemical reaction because it wasn't dried.

Its because you use a different resin for different pours. 🤔🙄😜 I've seen people that say they have been doing resin for years and yet they'll tell others that there's no need for ppe, resperators etc and.. And that you can use the same resin to make coasters, embedded flowers (deep pours) and coat artwork or dome jewellery.. Well the resin company's must be stupid to make so many different types of resin when you can use the same one for everything 🤔🤔😉 And newbies, who may or may not have watched a couple of yt videos will not be told that you can't use shallow pour resin to do a deep pour and vice versa...
