@barbkrienke8400 Ай бұрын

I’ve also seen turners using both a pressure pot as well as a vacuum chamber. Especially for soft woods, alternating between pulling a vacuum (to pull air out of the wood), and releasing the pressure (to allow the epoxy to flow down into the wood into what was air spaces) really helps solidify the wood before it goes into the pressure pot. One idea is to use somewhat transparent blue epoxy in and around some pieces of wood to create the look of an underwater cave. With your creativity, I know you will create amazing wood and resin pieces of art!!!

@MikeHolton Ай бұрын

I have seen that done and will at some point try to get a vacuum chamber 😊

@Mx-Alba Ай бұрын

@@MikeHolton Well, you basically already have a vacuum chamber... You just need to pull air out instead of squeezing air in. Maybe add a pressure gauge that can measure vacuum too - maybe you could mount that on the hole in the center that you took the mixer axel out of?

@MikeHolton Ай бұрын

@@Mx-Alba Thanks Alba, this is a good idea but you need to be able to keep an eye on the bubbles as it can easily overflow the canister or whatever the resin is in so I may make a clear lid for it with a seal 😃

This looks like, not just an easy solution, but a much safer solution than someone trying to build one from scratch or out of other canisters that may not be graded to handle pressure. Pressure pots, like pressure cookers, can explode if not used and maintained properly.

Great video but a warning for your viewers. I purchased this Vevor device for conversion. I tested before conversion and of the four ways you can put the lid on, three leaked at the gasket. Vevor are a nightmare to deal with if you have a fault. Long story short, they eventually sent me a second one which was an open box and worse than the first. It took a letter crafted by Citizens advice to get my money back two months later. They didn't want the devices back and left me to dispose, so when I have time, I have to see if I can make one combination work reliably. I agree its a good cheap device, well designed and when it seals it seems to hold I've also had other reasonable stuff from Vevor just advice to others to go in with their eyes open. At least you've confirmed my conversion process will work!

@MikeHolton 8 күн бұрын

@oldguyinstanton Ай бұрын

This video is a nice change of pace. Thank you. For more rigor, you should have tried to equalize the resin pours. As it is, one globe was filled from the top of the cup, and the second was filled from the bottom. Pressure differences due to depth in the cup may have affected bubble quantity and/or size. To avoid this potential problem, either just pour from two equally-made cups, or make a "trough" with holes in either end to pour resin into the molds, and pour the entire cup at the center of the trough, so that the resin flows both ways. The key is to eliminate any potential differences in bubble size/quantity.

Oh hooray! I am so glad you got this especially at such a good price. I believe you can make a vacuum chamber by poly binding plexiglass into a square then silicone caulk over the edges to ensure the seal. You do have to add valves and a vacuum dial. Well and handles. Despite a larger one needing more air pumped out bigger is better especially if you are degassing a lot of resin. You need a large container so that the resin doesn't overflow.

@CowboyDave1812 Ай бұрын

6:00 It's called a collar. If you want crystal clear resin, use a vacuum chamber first. It will do the opposite, but the expanded bubbles will rise to the surface and be expelled, then, before the resin starts to harden, place the object in the pressure pot as you just did. You'll need to use very slow hardener to have enough time for both processes. End result is resin that looks like glass crystal. I'd love to send a sticker from my shop to yours.
