Even though I never did any casting, I do work with composites and one good example is the way I make my own pre preg is simply by infusing carbon cloth with epoxy, keep it sealed inside the plastic layers and throw it in the freezer, it holds for at least one month and once at room temperature it cures normally, the negative temperature simply stops the reaction, also, one thing I would try in your case, would be connecting the vacuum to the inside of the refrigerator, and pray for it not to implode, this way it would be possible to pour the epoxy all at once without resting or vacuum before.

Time to empty out the kitchen fridge, I guess. For real though, I think most of my projects cost 3-4 times as much money and double that in the time it takes me to remake all the things I screw up being overzealous with the deep pours. I'm glad to see a smashing success!

Hello Dan -- come on try it out

If you are going to do something like this, make sure you have a smoke alarm! In college, another grad student cured a large container of unused epoxy and filled the lab (and entire building) with smoke. It can start a fire and release toxic gases. I liked the use of the fan and the refrigerator, probably should have set the fridge temp a bit higher, rather than turning it off though. The manufacturer likely has a recommended curing temperature (for instance 8 hours to cure at 70 degrees and 16 hours to cure at 65 degrees), in which case aim for the low end of the curing temperature. Finally the boards will serve to insulate the epoxy, making this more dangerous. If possible, use metal as it will transmit the heat out more readily.

Can't wait to see the finished product! You're an amazing artist :o

Wow...I'm so glad I found your channel! My son and I are interested in working with resin and I'm learning so much! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and how it's done.

What you're trying to avoid is called uncontrolled exotherm. The resin needs an exothermic reaction to happen, as the heat helps it to harden. You just want to control it so that it doesn't cause issues. I like how you used the fridge to do this. I'd be curious to see what would have happened without it! Can't wait to see the rhino when it's done! Thanks for sharing your process with us.

@Santuse

Жыл бұрын

Hi, I have a degree in chemical engineering. There are a whole bunch of equations and software to do this sort of stuff. What this guy did was put an exothermic reaction in an insulated box. It's possible it got hotter there than just a regular pour. All reactions go faster as the temperature increases (but this includes the reverse reaction, so some reactions appear to slow but it's just the reverse speeding up). Thus, since it's exothermic, starting the reactants cold doesn't really change the peak temperature. Imagine lighting gasoline when its -30° out. Fire is still hot. So his fridge probably didn't do much. What I would do is to have an ac on it or in a walk-in cooler, or any type of cool breeze.

@Alakay77

Жыл бұрын

@@Santuse Interesting! I was wondering about whether the amount of time it was initially cool for actually impacted the reaction, so you just answered that. What do you think stopped the epoxy from cracking? Would that be because it was insulated and it didn't have as rapid of a change in temperature as a result?

@martyjehovah

Жыл бұрын

@@Santuse starting temperature definitely matters when it comes to epoxy resin cures, that's why all manufacturers have recommended operating temperatures. A resin pour this thick in a 30 degree room would without a doubt have smoked, sputtered, warped, and hardened extremely fast, while a pour 3 meters deep at -10c would possibly never cure, and if it did it would take months. It's true cooling it doesn't make the reaction release any less energy from beginning to end, but it does extend the timeframe which keeps the reaction from running away as it heats up unchecked, and eventhough the refrigerator is an insulated box it's not keeping the heat in, the refrigerator by its very nature moves heat out of itself. The relevant petroleum metaphor is more like the difference between lighting 1 litre on fire in a room, or lighting 1 litre a thimble full at a time in the same room... the same amount of energy is released, but 1 of those scenarios is going to be a lot more scary.

That vacuum chamber is what I’d call essential for all pours, not just deep pours. You were right. Cooler temps avoid abundant exothermic reaction. I’ve poured a lot of acrylic and you aced this. Beautiful sculpture.

Might give you a bit of a warning concerning freezers/refrigerators, they are not made for continues use and will brake if they are running all the time and well it won't be nice if they brake down during a large casting. Think I've seen industrial coolers that made for continues use however. Looking forward to all the coming carvings, keep up the great work.

​@@BMSculptures Oh, sorry for not being more clear. Blame it on English not being my primary language and not being a refrigerator expert, and definitely not for being too lazy to see that it wasn't well written. ;) So to correct myself. A freezer/fridge is made to be "used continuously", but the compressor that creates the cooling is not made to be run continuously. In normal use cases, the compressor only starts when the temperature goes above a set value and then turns off again, just as you said. But if you then put something that generates continuous heat, the compressor will have to run until heat no longer is generated, which makes it run for longer than what it was designed for. Think the term used is duty cycle, if you want to look into it more.

Might also say that I think it's fine to make off-label use of them, but then you should be aware that they are not made to be used this way and have some kind of safety measure if it fails. I also have off-label use of a freezer, but in my case, nothing critical happens if should fail. ;)

If you pour with the opening at the top of the jug instead of the bottom (so it pours past your hand instead of under), it'll come out faster and smoother and not "glug" as it comes out. Less bubbles :)

If you vacuum out most of the air from the fridge, that will dramatically decrease the cooling (and likely damage the fridge). Without the air convection, heat will no longer transfer from the epoxy to the fridge coolant system. You'd be much better off doing the vacuum chamber before pouring rather than trying to combine steps. Also note that most refrigerators aren't rated for continuous duty. If it has to run continuously for several days to keep the epoxy from thermal runaway, you're probably going to burn out the coolant pump much faster than expected, and that would not be covered under warranty because the owners manual will specifically warn against it.

@BMSculptures

Жыл бұрын

Great question.... They are about the same amount of time- around 10 days to fully cure, however when pouring in layers, I am CONSTANTLY checking on it, torching bubbles, not to mention dust build up between each layer. This method is pour it and forget it! So much better.

One thing I would suggest - Look into those temperature probe setups that are geared towards smoking meat. They have them such that they can have 4 probes simultaneously with wireless display unit that you can read from anywhere in the building. Put a couple of probes inside the epoxy itself in locations you intend to cut away anyways. Hook the freezer up to something that will let you control the power supply. This would let you monitor the epoxy's actual interior temp and adjust the cooling as needed without having to open the freezer up. The probes would *probably* end up being consumed in this sort of application but *maybe* you might be able to retrieve them in the end if you wax them.

This is the way to do it, great experiment and findings. Maybe you could attach hooks to the outside of the box or ratchet straps underneath the box, lift it out with an engine crane. Especially if you do a bigger pour.

Breaking the rules!! Including those about moving a freezer! That's dedication! : )
