Another great video and teaching technique Jake. Good job. You make me want to get a pressure pot and try some casting. I have been holding off up until now. I want to experiment now with table top and other thin pour epoxies.

Thank you Joyce.. it was lots of fun.

At 105 degrees most people are already in some kind of panic mode because they know there's always 1 or 2 things left to do before you get it in the pressure pot, tighten down all four wing nuts and get the air in. Im just saying, unless you've been doing this for some time most people start to panic because nobody wants to waste several hundred grams of resin and either dye or power. Or dye and powder,haha. Like always Jake, Great vid. Thank you for it.

I know it's an old video but I get great results with 100% separation using slow set resin but it is a much longer process, I mix up the resin, separate and add colour and will leave it to thicken up, using a deep pour resin means it doesn't have that fast reaction setting so you can wait till it has thickened up quite a lot without the need to rush also most if not all bubbles will have gone by that time and then when it is just barely pourable as in it takes a long time for it to pour out the cups is the time to pour it (I don't use a heat monitor just go by feel and timing) and add swirls then pressure pot it and because the curing happens over hours rather than minutes you can even create certain patterns especially if you let it get really thick and by tilting the mould to create definitive lines, also you can create mould sections like I have loads of offcuts of old silicone moulds in various shapes that I pop in let cure the pull the bits out and fill in with other colours, you even creat the same shape but at different sizes, big to small and keep replacing to create definitive ring shapes of different colours within the blank which is good for quick set resins, so many things can be done! Resin such a fun thing to work with.

I just did a graffiti pour with 8 colors into clear over a 5 blank mold. It was just over 105F when I started dropping the colors into the clear in the molds. Too late...It was a neat effect, the colors sank about 2/3 of the way but they curved towards the sides of the molds creating a clear tunnel through the blanks. Not a total failure but not what I had in mind. I am learning that timing is indeed a major factor.

I'm glad you made this video Jake. I have been experimenting on heat times to pour the colors in to the molds but often get scared and do it too early. I just bought some Alumalite water clear. It's not the same as the clear slow but hopefully it will work just as well. I have found that I cannot get a good polish on Alumalite but I might be using the wrong one or my polishing skills are broken. Have you ever used the water clear version? Keep up the very informative videos and greetings from South Louisiana.

hi, I need some advice for my project. I would like to make some marble effect chess pieces, with well separated lines, that can be seen both on a white and colored base. Any tips (using pit molds)? for example a two-color marble effect: white base and blue effect or purple base and white effect. thanks for help and congrats for your videos
