Is it a resin encased phone for everyone? 🙂

Is the air gaps around some pieces due to offgassing? and it looked like the batterey might have swelled a little.

Adam siad "That's Amazing" in regard to the phone functioning with nothing but the battery, display, and processor hooked up. What he should have said is "It's amazing how much effort other companies go through to be sure you CAN"T use your phone if any one thing is not functioning, or isn't a part they get to charge you outragess process fro from first party suppliers." Other products not functioning in such a manner is a CHOICE being made. This is how it SHOULD be if other companies weren't busy trying to be as anti consumer as is legally permissible.

@@LMT069 Adam did say the battery swelled up from the resin process. The heat of the curing process made the battery fail and swell up.

Hi, the order page says the coupon claiming limit has been reached when I tried the code on the order page.

I was wondering about CA but that is a better suggestion. That would have allowed them to put it in the vacuum chamber too to get bubbles out of the area around the phone (though I'm not sure what the vacuum chamber would do to the battery).

A lot of times the vacuum chamber actually is put under pressure not vacuum. That way the bubbles shrink to (almost) invisible ones. Still that might be an issue for the battery as well?

Doesn't the CA also Crystalize causing cloudiness?

UV resin often has a different refractory index which means you can see it on or in other resin.

@@sharxbyte Yes, but just barely and if you look for it. While a cloudy area is much more vissible.

Did you guys patent resin?

No but I do think they qualify as youtubes defacto resin expert. No sense in treating anyone with a gatekeeper attitude!@@GardenGuy1943

I thought it was cool when Adam mentioned you two!

When did he mention E&K?? I think missed that part and my head would explode knowing Adam referenced one of my other favorite channels!

I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN YOU 2 GOT MENTIONED

Infrastructure first, yes.

I don't think it was disguised, they opened talking about the client and the brief.

love stories like that!

Good ol' Nokia phones

I thought about it, but realized you don't even need to polish the bottom surface because it'll be tucked away in the base

@@zeikjt I get that, it was Adam flinging it about that got me puckered 😂

It's always the worst step in resin work! I felt the anxiety watching this toto! Everytime you do resin polishing you go like: "oh noooooo did I fuck it up?" In the 90s I worked at a music store and I setup guitars, fixed amps and had the ought guitar remodel or fix, that my boss (a luthier) would instruct me how to do -- because it wasn't challenging enough for him I guess :D And respraying the body with polyurathe paint and then a two component resin clear coat. And you saw the little orange peel but it looks nice. And then you come in with your 400grid and you go like... HERE GOES 24 HOURS OF WORK! And then by the time you get to 1200 grid wet sands your nerves settle. And the polish is like ahhhhhh done! But those 3 or 4 times I did that were nerve wrecking. One of the 3 or 4 times was my own guitar, not worried about that. But a client's guitar pffff.... And the first time I didn't realise how thick this car polyurathane paint gets and I got put on the neck and I am like.... Damn, it no longer fits... What do I do send the neck pocket or the neck? My employer said just bring in the neck and the screws will pull it in, gradually go criss cross slowly, that paint and clear coat isn't cured yet rock solid yet, the wood is harder. But next time mask off the neck pock :D

@@SISPX Adam flinging things about is sort of the flavor of this channel. I still get nervous every time.

@@sundaynightdrunk I love it! It why I keep coming back ;)

collin is paid to do his videos byBP and OIL Mobil. he even did a video WITH them to promote new tech, which was oil companies greenwashing using him to do it. collin is cool but hes a bit of a shilll to companies. no matter what or how immoral they are. google bro, dont take my word for it

Colin is a British Adam!

@@TheVRSofa aahhh man, if that is true, are there no good people left out there?

Bruv if anything Collin is the British Adam. Adam is OG status. Did fruze have a show like myth busters? All I'm saying is Adam precedes Collin. I would wager that Collin has a broader ability to create and is likely a better technical engineer. Adam likely has a broader knowledge of science and art. Love them both but let's keep legacy in mind! Adam = big spoon. Collin = little spoon.

​@@TheVRSofaim sorry... WHAT?????

I was wondering this but I think part of the issue is keeping the mold level in the vacuum pot while everything cures. If the mold is not level, the parts would have slowly drifted.

@@AxGryndr You can pre-level the pot or level the mold once it's in the pot if necessary. Even if it moves slightly you can sand it level after the fact. I don't think the pieces would move on a small slant.

Yeah, the close up shots are not great...

@@AxGryndr Would the parts inside move from the air coming out?

@@AxGryndr Agreed. My OCD is screaming at me lol

That's exactly what I was expecting, and this isn't an exploded view at all. It's not a matter of semantics. I've never seen what I see here called an 'exploded' view. It's a _disassembled_ view; it's the sort of thing you'd get in the packaging of a product with a page showing a complete inventory of parts.

I believe Adam used a small gas torch for that initially on the small piece but good advice for those wanting to try it!!

Adam has very good balance ...

Only advertising copy I heard was them noting that removing the back to replace the battery wasn't a difficult task.

@@robertbackhaus8911 The first 5 minutes or so are the ad read. All the way until they get to building the frame. They even mention the cameras are modular and I believe that was a little beyond 5 minutes. That's part of the ad read. Basically, mentioning anything interesting or positive about the phone is the ad read, then proceeding to the build is the Tested portion.

Surprised they didn't use a dummy battery. Hopefully they fully discharged it first.

I dont think there will be any reaction with the battery now due to lack of oxygen. The battery likely swelled from the heat produced from the resin curing.

Came to post this.... Typically these sorts of displays use a dummy battery, for exactly this reason.

what sneaky? oil companies do this with collin furze and get him to half hide it in his videos.

I appreciate the candidness of the ad spot vs the video of the IPhone cable video which *really* read like an ad placement, without the clarity

You think Apple and Google don't spy on you? What color is the sky in your world?

It's the slight left tilt of the display for me 😖😖😖

both... all of the bubbles and artifacts as well. seems like a good first attempt to make changes and make a perfect second go. My guess is the non uniform thermal expansion of the setting epoxy bent the screen enough to do some damage

Ha! Me, too. Along with the alignment being just a bit off. I also thought that the resin would be a lot clearer than what it looks like it turned out to be. Seemed kind of milky and meh.

Oh, appreciate that!

You and us both.
