The easier way to think about weights and volumes, is one litre weighs one kilo, and their divisions (centilitre-gram, millilitre-milligram) weigh the same in comparison, it's what's good about the metric system! It makes the maths a lot less stressful than the subdivisions of the imperial system.

Interesting Franco! Did you do a strength/rigidity test on your thinned resin? I tried thinning Alumi-UV, Chinese UV and Loon UV resins with denatured alcohol and found that if I went much more than 5% (by weight) that the resin would be softer than normal. I tested a couple of drops of mixed and drops of straight resin (as a reference), cured the samples under a nail lamp and gave the samples the "thumbnail hardness test". I also popped the samples off of the glass base and bent them to see how they would react. It seems that I could get away with a couple of percent of alcohol but beyond that the properties of the cured resin changed - it became softer, lost strength and at higher percentages would break apart easily. Resin thinned 5% works well as a glue when I tie flies but I think that I'll stick to brushing on lures, I need a good coat to protect the wooden lure from pikes' teeth anyway 😀 Cheers!

Iv clean my lure as best as I can but still have to apply a minimum of 3 layers for it to sit correctly on the lure. Any advise would be greatly appreciated...

Great vid! Seen so many people warn us about thinning epoxy but not many would try, let alone making n sharing it through a vid like this. Your vid open up lots of possiblity for me =) Im a composite hobbist just doing some small parts at home for myself. I was wondering 1) how many layers can we add to a part to a point where we loses clearity? Does it? 2) what is the flash time between coats of spray you would advice? 3) do you need to sand down the parts for recoating to get better adhesion? (Coming from composite persepective) 4) lastly, how long does it take to cured fully compare man-made light to sun light. Thank you for sharing!
@EngineeredAngler2 жыл бұрын
The resin is water clear, use as many coats as you like. There is no flash time. It will not cure until exposed to UV. Light sanding, and clean with alcohol between coats. The cure time depends on UV light strength and can vary from 10 minutes to several hours.
