You see a lot of epoxy companies dumping tons of mica powder into epoxy to make it look good, but does it really take that much mica powder to make it look good? I'm going to find out by doing a few experiments with Mica Powder to see how much is to much to see through. This is not a sponsored video, I paid for the epoxy and the mica powder in this video.

Completely new to epoxy hoping to do a little DIY fix-it in the house as a surprise for my man (✋don’t worry, I got this, I’m sure of it🤔😬😅)…. So I have a question… Why are you “bringing the epoxy to temperature” first? I’ve never seen that done before. What difference does it make, what temp should it be at & is it the same for all epoxy types? Great video, thanks so much!!! 😁😁

Sometimes I have to warm the epoxy up because it's stored in a cold place and so that it's easier to pour and mix. From what I have learned from doing epoxy the bubbles will come to the surface faster when it's warmed up, the epoxy also creates its own heat as it cures to help the bubbles come to the surface. You can heat the epoxy with a torch to bring the bubbles to the surface and pop them but if you heat the epoxy to much I have gotten tiny micro bubbles in it that wont come out, leaving a haze to the epoxy. This only matters if you are pouring a clear epoxy, if you are pouring a tinted epoxy you cant see into the epoxy to see the tiny bubbles. Hope this helps, have fun with your project and thanks for watching. :)
