Color Separation with Liquid Diamonds Epoxy Resin
Рет қаралды 58,436
4 жыл бұрынThis week we are learning how to pour Liquid Diamonds epoxy resin with color separation, or not blending the colors together. I get asked all the time how to get resin swirls and without blending colors while resin casting. Liquid Diamonds has lots of working time and claims to not need a pressure pot when resin casting. We put that to the test. I pour the epoxy at different temperatures and then turn them on the wood lathe, sand and polish them so we can see what the resin swirls look like.

I appreciate these videos that show not just the right way, but what happens if one opts to take shortcuts. Many times we think we are doing one thing, (ie. say guess the temp and once it feels warm go for it), and then get poor results. Helpful to see that it's more than just being warm, but an actual temp that makes a huge difference.

My last pour was at 145 degrees F, needless to say by the time I got it into the pressure pot it had already formed. My first failure. But like they say, if you don't fail, you don't learn.

Great video! I was trying to get swirly colors into a clear base. I did an orangey red, a red, and a teal green. It was into a skull mold I had put clear into. No matter how little color I used- the colors expanded and took over. I get it that with the pen blanks the idea is to not see the internal parts.. so clear resin would be out. I think I just have to get a temperature gun for knowing when to swirl the colors in. The issue is waiting for it.. waiting too long means it won’t pick up the molds details. But if I get the clear in there and coat it all over and then let it settle it may be ok. Ugh .. so many things to consider! It’s such a great ride .. and so unpredictable too. Resins gonna resin! Thanks Jake! This video is exactly what I was looking for 👌👏👏👏💯🎯

Jake thanks so much for the lesson. I can’t count how many resin project videos I’ve seen and this is the first introducing the relationship between temperature and color separation. I’m wondering how your pour technique changed between the ‘beginner’s mistake’ blank poured at 88 F and the others where the temps were hotter. I noticed at one point in the later pours you mentioned that you were pouring in too much at once.
@JakeThompson 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed! When you are trying to swirl or color separate, it’s better to pour small amounts lightly into the molds. I could have done a lot better job of pouring lightly throughout every temperature.. That’s all I was saying.. I didn’t change pouring technique as much as I should between 88 degrees and the higher temps. 👍👍
@ninamcrae7295 3 жыл бұрын
What does change is the thickness as it gets hotter . Which causes the colors not to run as quickly allowing you time to add other colors and they wont blend together so easily. Thats where you get your color separation.

Jake, I so appreciate these "experiment videos you do!! So helpful for all of us! Is Liquid Diamonds less sensitive to any moisture in a wood? I have really big digger pine pinecones which I can't get all the sap off of. I am quite sure Alumilite CS would react to that, but I'm wondering if Liquid Diamonds might be more forgiving? But do they not recommend deep pours? What do you use for your deep pours? Thanks again!!!
@JakeThompson 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you Amy.. I’m sure liquid diamonds might have less of a reaction to moisture but still react.. liquid diamonds will go a bit deeper than most other epoxies.. coating pieces with resin is also an option. I use either alumilite deep pour or the epoxy resin store has some deep pour epoxy too… You can use Jake10 at either site to save money.

It took about a week to make this video.. I do like liquid diamonds. I leave them in the pressure pot overnight and then remold them. At this point they are solid and don’t need to be in the pressure pot any longer, but aren’t fully cured.. I can still bend them if i try. So I let them set for 24 more hours.. Then I can turn and sand them. Thank you for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

When you add part A and Part B together, the chemical reaction gears it up 👍

Another great demo video Jake! These are truly invaluable! I'm just getting into resins and learning a ton from these! When you make those dragon eggs (resin/Wood hybrids), are you using "deep pour", "table top/artwork", or "casting" resins? What is the difference. I've seen people use casting resin, but poured a litre and a half into a bucket!

Thank you very much for the compliment. When I do deep pours like the dragon egg.. That is with Alumilite Clear Slow. It’s a fast setting resin that is capable of doing deep pours.. But you have to measure it by weight and you have to have a pressure pot.

@@JakeThompson thank you sir! What's the difference between a pressure pot and a vacuum chamber? And don't tell me that vacuum chambers suck! Get it!? Vacuum. ... suck! 😆

@@jonathanbrowne8884 lol.. a pressure pot will hold air pressure in the pot squeezing the air bubbles so small that you can’t see them.. a vacuum chamber will remove bubbles from the resin before you pour it..

@@JakeThompson Thanks for letting me pick your brain! Thanks for the advice on the deep pour as well! I poured really deep on my mother-in-law, and there's no decomp smell at all! 😆 But seriously, can I use the vacuum chamber after the pour, to remove bubbles. I'm new to this and my budget was blown about $500 ago! If I don't need another piece of equipment, it would shut my wife up... I mean it would be great! 😲

Great video on doing color, I WAS going to do color today till I seen your video, since I'm doing 2 or 3 colors should I wait for a while and let the Liquid diamond heat up? I didn't know that would do that? and I have a tempture gun to test it as well,, thank you

This is a great tutorial. Have you tried to make a hybrid with LD and no pressure? Will it hold together?

Adam Lopez I have done hybrid pen blanks with no pressure pot.. and I have seen bowl blanks made with it that held together.

Great information . Flat pour reminded me of coasters ... LOL How would this be for a trivet to put hot pans on from the stove? What kind of temperatures can they stand without going gooey?
@JakeThompson 4 жыл бұрын
Thank you!! I haven’t tried to put hot things on this resin.. but I would guess it wouldn’t go well.. lol

A clear coat with a resin made for higher temperatures would make it happen. In my early days I made about 120 coasters, to sell, without thinking. Then I sat a cup of coffee on one as the season changed. It stuck. Someone told me to do a clear coat with a high temp resin.. and it worked! So I did a few that week.. well 110 coasters are still waiting 😂 because I’ve moved along to so many things, I can’t get back to them. Another friend who turns wood said I need to stack them up & glue them together and turn them. I guess 20 or so at a time. Make ‘I Dream Of Jeannie’ bottles or whatever. Many times I almost tossed them in the trash. I’ll probably give them all to my friend in exchange for a nice bottle. But yah.. clear coat anything like that with a high temp resin ✌️

Tx Jake!!! I was wondering , instead of liquid diamond, when in the curing process do we get the best separation with Alumilite Deep Pour?
@JakeThompson 3 жыл бұрын
Alumilite did a video on their deep pour.. I believe it’s around 9 hours but don’t hold me to it.. it’s a long process
