Part of the problem is actually the wooden popsicle stick. Wood is porous and releases air into the mix as you stir and the resin penetrates the stick. Plastic or silicone stir sticks are better because of that. Silicone wins due to ease of cleaning. 😁👍

Not just that, but a lot of additives add bubbles too, I kinda wish one of the test ones had been with powder pigment or glitter to see if it REALLY mixed.
Now I need to see them make stuff out of edible glass/sugar just so they can finally make things that they can eat and look pretty.
What you saw as "bubbles" or pucker on the first two looks more like amine blush, which is resin not curing properly, either from not being mixed enough or not getting warm enough. On that note, the lizard/heat mats are great not for curing speed, but if you live in a cooler climate and your resin doesn't cure or gets amine blush (me in a cold Canadian basement). Especially for thin cures like bookmarks, my heat mat really prevents sticky patches or amine blush :)

I feel like depending on the time it needs in the pressure chamber the fastest most efficent method would be the screwdriver mixer -> pressure chamber -> heating pad, or cement mixer -> wait 30mins for bubbles -> heating pad
I have been using Total Boat for 2 years because of you guys lol. It never matters the dexterity of mixing speed that I use, EVER. It always always always leaves that "hair like" residue "bubble" (they are absolutely not bubbles) on smaller molds. I can mix slow and not as thorough with bigger molds and never have that string looking crap on top. Yet cheaper resin no matter how it is mixed, never does that? Interesting. Love your channel!!
I personally use an electric resin mixer that is similar to the blue one, but it has a smaller set of paddles and is great for someone like me with chronic pain, has made mixing resin so much easier and I have found that it allows me to be able to do more since I am not causing myself extra pain by mixing various volumes of resin at once.
The editing in this is top tier.
The re-packaging of items for craft-specific marketing is a tale as old as time. In the ceramics community we tend to make a lot of our own tools since a lot of them can be found in a kitchen or easily made (like you can buy a metal scraper from a ceramics shop or you can use an old credit card cut to whatever shape you prefer.)

I think Katelyn does still edit some videos, but most of them are done by an editing team now. Mostly former (or still current) gaming channel editors. But they've done a good job following Katelyn's original vibe so it's usually hard to tell who did which videos. Regardless this one was hilariously edited!
i feel like a second test with pigment in the resin for the mixers would’ve really shown if they were truly mixed thoroughly. love the vid you guys. i get so much joy from watching your videos. you even inspired me to make my own cat tree a few years ago!! still standing strong today!!
When I need a big output for resin casting (lots of molded items,fast) I mix my resin, add color and then microwave it for like 5-10 seconds (it heats up REALLY fast), then pour it. The heat promotes curing and it goes of, ready for demolding in about a quarter of the time plus the resin gets really thin and thus the bubbles rise to the surface faster and easier. Perfect for closed intricate molds with fine details. Some molds might need vibration or tapping right after filling to release bubbles clinging to the surface. So, try my hack and microwave your resin.
You know it’s a good day when E&K uploads a video
For the standing mixing thing: it could be useful to keep the resin moving if you’re not going to pour it straight away.
04:30 that was pure Evan-Essence, as I like to call it: 🙌 evanescence 🙌 because beauty fades 🫠
5:57 this is so wholesome. They have the only sponsored ads I actually watch because they are just absolute gems Also the ‘reptile’ mat reaching 128f goes to show how important thermostats are in reptile keeping to not burn your animal (and a good temp gun to make sure everything is working and at the right temperature) Edit: also when looking at Amazon reviews I never trust the star rating and instead immediately look at the worst reviews because I want to see the worst case/any individual defects that I might receive.
I absolutely love you two. I thought nobody could match the love and fun of me and my husband...and the curiosity / testing / proving & disproving....you give me faith in fun and science as a couple. Way to go. Please keep at this, I've been watching you for years and I want to watch you for more years!
The resin mixer - keep blades submerged in resin. You still need to scrap sides unless you have the flexible blades. AND messy crafters, like myself, don't want resin drops on our nice drills
You guys should put the first stick on the mad scientist machine!
Using a wooden stick to hand mix also adds bubbles. The wood gives it off as well as the mixing itself.
it be really cool if they made a GIANT EK or Jube mold, and every time they have left over resin, they add a tiny bit to it. then in like 12 months when it's full of excess resin from projects you get a crazy mixed up thing of extra colors. or even like randomly put the hearts and squares used for testing. like and maybe they'll see this probably flawed idea lol
Put the spatula from the drill in the holder on the turn table. Also. put that in before you pour the resin in. Or make sure it's as low as possible while mixing. pls.
6:00 - Fun fact, those tiny pockets were actually used for pocket watches. The patch there is called a watch pocket and was created for jeans dating back to 1879!
Secondary use for the cement mixer is put your nail polish bottles in it. Rolling your bottles instead of shaking makes less bubbles. You could also use it to coat things with other things for embeds maybe? Like if you got your plastic beans and wanted them to be iridescent or glitter coated, just spray those in a little bit of glue and toss them in there with the coating and whabam you have sparkly beans.
everytime you post it gives me extra excitement
The amount that fits inside the cement mixer looks to be about the right amount or almost the right amount to fill up a set of tabletop dice. I wonder if they made it that small amount with projects such as custom keys or dice in mind.
Love to see you find new uses for these products 🤔💡
Evan, the tiny pocket used to be for you to securely attach your pocket watch to! Jeans are much older than we tend to think, and they haven’t changed, much as far as garments go
I love the headgear!!!🐱🐱🐱
add a drop of different food coloring to each part of the resin so you can more easily see when it's fully mixed on camera
So I have the "cement mixer" and I like it very much as a person with chronic pain, my hand get so tired mixing resin the traditional way. With the cement mixer it helps to hold a popsicle stick or a silicone stick in it to help mix it and what I do when I need to mix more resin, I tilt it up by placing it on some wedges and use a bigger plastic cup that still has a narrow bottom. Hope this helps with your giant one or if you want to continue using lil boi.
I follow a couple of dice makers who use the tilted mixer thing. They mostly use it to mix color.
Love the Rosanna Pansino product placement, can tell that's one of her lines of silicone moulds
man i love you guys so much, you never fail to put a huuge smile on my face, either through just being you (silly geese) or by the incredible editing !! thank you Evan and Katelyn ❤
"Suitably Impressed" sounds like a perfect response for many things
I have a resin heating mat that came with a little tent to trap the heat and I hecking love that thing! I keep my apartment fairly cold, so I used to have to wait multiple days before I could de-mold things even 1/8" thick, but with the mat, I can cure 3/8" in 3-4 hours. Absolutely worth it. If I need to avoid bubbles, I'll let it sit for a while, but that thing is a game changer.
Really like that lil cement mixer... Your casting is so clear, and without degassing. Gonna try this with some Smooth On 690...
I have a cool craft design idea for you two! What about designing a claw machine? The ones with toys inside. But make it better, more fun! Maybe even compare the one for kids to the larger ones? What do you think? Would it be possible to improve on it?

Those reptile heat pads are pretty good at holding even and high temperatures and if you really want to go for it you can get thermostats to make sure it doesn't go above a certain temperature
It's also worth considering regarding the curing mats that you appear to have the resin in silicon molds. Silicon is a fantastic insulator, to the point of being used as oven mitts. So that mat is having to completely heat the silicon before it starts to affect the resin.
Katelyn, the fact you put a heat signature lizard in the camera when displaying the mat is sooooo good xD
those pixelated long objects look like something else, something on "that type of channel"
I would say that the bubbles in the resin that was cured on the heat pads are likely water vapor from the moisture absorbed by the 2 parts of resin. Curing resin is an exothermic reaction meaning that it gives off heat, and because hot resin cures faster, you can have a runaway reaction. The excess resin that I sometimes have after repairing a surfboard has gotten so hot that it starts releasing visible steam and has even melted the container it was curing in.
Very interesting to see the sheer difference ion the amount of bubbles between the "control" & the "heating pad" moulds. Just a thought : What if you used the vacuum chamber to remove the bubbles BEFORE pouring & THEN use the heating pad ? Would you still get as many bubbles ? Are the bubbles a product of the curing process ?
I remember saving heating mat for resin about a year ago and it’s still in my Amazon list. This video helped me to understand whether it’s worth buying or not. Personally, it might not be worth it. I use 24-hour type (cheaper and less toxic), so heating mat won’t make much difference to me
Reminder to always use a thermostat with a heat mat especially with live animals! They can reach over 180F, scorch wood and start fires if they malfunction, stya safe!
9:22 I have one similar to this one and I found that you need to turn the spoon or stick sideways so there is more friction or catches the resin more. I love mine.
I'm so grateful to you guys content, for reals, you lift me up everytime, you are fun, I love your content and the things that you say, the fun and creative ads, the new editing that you are always improving. Really. Thank you. And I was pleasantly surprise with the products on this video. I would test the heating mat waiting 30 minutes to see if anything changes with the bubbles, but just out of curiosity haha. Anyways, great video!
Dear Evan and Katelyn, I absolutely loved this video! Your creativity and humor always make for such an entertaining watch. Testing out these weird resin mixing tools from Amazon was such a fun idea, and I was genuinely surprised by how well some of them worked! The electric resin mixer was definitely my favorite, and it was so satisfying to see how quickly and evenly it mixed the resin. The other tools were also really helpful and made the resin mixing process much easier. Overall, I thought this was a great video that showcased some really interesting and useful products for anyone who works with resin. Thank you for always bringing such fun and engaging content to your channel. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

I don't know that much about resin but everyone knows you can literally pour it and torch it so that you instantly get rid of the bubbles , so at a small scale you can just buy a small torch lighter and in a split second torch the bubbles away so that it is not even an issue.
This video has some insane editing. Good job guys!

OMG I love your shirt, Katelyn. I liked a shirt you wore in a candle making video about cats too. Those masks are cute too, but where do the black tubes go?
i think the weight of the stir rod for the cement mixer one is supposed to go outside of the cup? could be wrong but it does look the rod itself is the perfect length to reach the bottom of the cup while the weight rests/balances on the lip, and it would therefore stay in place while the mixer is going, rather than rolling with it. although tbf, it does seem to work just fine the way y'all did it
I love your videos on both channels. The sound effects and visuals crack me up every time. Even the product placement commercials you make are just to funny.
If you want to talk about just repackaging a product. A while back I opened an American Beauty resistance soldering unit that sells for $400-$500. Inside were 2 parts - a $2.00 hardware store lamp dimmer and a $16 transformer (like 3V, 10A) and that was it. The lamp dimmer is wired to the 120v input on the transformer and the soldering tips come straight off the transformer secondary. Build your own for $20 and save $480.
The #3 mixer we actually use to mix resin seal where i work. Ours has a bracket to insert 2 popsicle sticks into that goes into the resin.
I know that in the woodturning videos where they use resin they always put it in a pressure pot to eliminate bubbles. I wonder if by adding a hot plate inside a pressure pot you could get the best of both worlds.
The mini cement mixer one I use to mix epoxy for fixing/building fishing rods! It does really well at mixing without adding bubbles

I designed and printed a mixer the same as the second one you showed 7 years ago. I made it adjustable rpm. It worked really well
Great video as always. 😍 I just watched a document on knockoffs and how some can be dangerous like overheating and some even catching fire. Every detail was exact there was no way to tell the difference... until you could. That being said wasn't it the Lizard that reached a higher level of warmth?
No matter what, it's just great watching you two do stuff. ❤
You can make your own heat matt with flexwatt heat tape and an extension cord for less than $10 if you want to save some more money .
The little cubes you used to test the mats it reminds me of turkish delight and I really want some now.
All of these gadget videos give me life
Might get one of those mats to put under my pressure chamber as my garage is pretty cold and resin takes ages to cure. Obviously run lower pressure to allow for expansion but reckon it’d help. Also want to see you build a mega cement mixer, that can handle at least what your biggest pour to date is 😀
