Alumilite Explains: The difference between epoxy, polyurethane, and resin
Рет қаралды 530,718
Күн бұрынChoosing the wrong type of resin product could mean a ruined project. In this video, Jordan explains the scientific differences between epoxy and polyurethanes - both types of resins - and helps you decide which type of resin is likely best for your project.
Put your questions of "what type of resin should I use" and "epoxy vs resin" at ease and create successful projects with the knowledge of the science behind resin.

Information videos are long winded tedious affairs that I skip through very quickly to find what I want to know. I never got to the first click forward in this one. I watched. I got the info I wanted, and more. No faffing around, no fillers, no fluff. No irritating chatter! No fancy effects! Wow. It felt like less than a minute, and the video was done. Every sentence useful. Never seen anything like this before. Nailed it. Thanks!

I'd also like to see a video on ways to remove bubbles from your epoxy when using it in different applications, like silicone molds, acrylic blanks, tumblers, covering artwork, etc (not just deep pouring).

This was a much needed explanation for me! Just starting to incorporate resin into my wood turnings. Id gotten a small amount of Clear slow and poured my first pen blanks where I casted mini pine cones. Turned out great, so I ordered the 16lb kit just the other night! I was really excited to start using it to cast wood into large blanks. I am SO glad I watched this before I combined this with some wood that may not have been perfectly dry and ruined the whole thing! Would love to see a video with more detail about casting wood into blanks, or using epoxy/urethane to fill knots, cracks, voids, etc.; When it’s ok to use one vs the other; What moisture content does wood have to be before you can use urethane; etc etc. Thanks for sharing the knowledge! Seth

Hey there Seth! I'm so glad you found the video helpful, and that you're liking using Clear Slow! I'm going to link a few videos here on casting hybrid wood and resins items from some of our affiliates. (Epoxy is usually best for knots and voids, and for the moisture content... as close to 0% as possible with urethanes.) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZ11orN0lrTQkmg.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJOaqtV2zdrSYmQ.html

Hey, Seth. I've been reading on the wood combinations, too. Most people say you can use urethane as long as the wood is sealed completely, ie: a clear topcoating. Hopefully Jordan/Alumilite will correct me if I'm wrong.

I had an intriguing experience with ACS and acrylic... Cheers!

Great explainer video and Jordan's delivery was awesome! So far I've stuck with epoxy as I'm a little apprehensive to go Urethane with the rain/humidity in the Seattle area (I'm sure it would work, but I'm a wimp). I didn't like the Amazing Clear as it was way too thick for my taste, but I saw a video on your new deep pour epoxy and just bought some to do a side by side test with my current brand. May the odds be ever in your favor. :)

At 0:18 secs of this video, I feel an immense wave of relief and gratitude for this knowledge. I've been struggling to understand the different materials to use in my project and very confused. My brain is the kind where it wants to slot all information into neat boxes for further retrieval. Not having an overview of the categories and how they relate made it difficult to retain information - like having no file cabinet to slot the files in. I could just hug you for the terrific way you explained it - concise, top down, logical, factual, and one picture = 1000 words! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Part 2 suggestion: Tinting Pigments. Please explain pigments and tints. So bewildering. I want to use Durabak Polyurethane bed liner. Its a great product but comes in standard solid opaque colors that I don't like. They want me to use a non-water based, paste pigment to get my color. I need to understand pigments as well as the paint side. How many kinds are there that work with the Resins? Please do a video on this!!!
