I love that the point of the rocks is to use the waste products, and then they make waste specifically for the table, and then the whole table becomes waste
-
If you did the silver and blue "rocks" only you could do a frozen river with chunks of ice floating throughout.i think that's be a pretty cool table
-
I feel like you need to call Evan and Katelyn for any and all resin questions. 😂
-
My two cents: besides your two ideas (expired resin and/or a bad ratio), the uneven cure could have been the degassing. I only work with 3 minute resin, so it may not directly compare, but if I try to degas, it foams and cures in about 15 seconds. The inside of the pot gets fairly warm, and that might have kickstarted your cure too soon. The finished table looks great though!
-
Sorry about the bad pour. I had this kind of thing happen once, smaller amounts though. In the post-mortem, I realized that I had used more resin, instead of hardener, when I mixed it. 1:1 resin, guess I grabbed the wrong bottle. 🤷
-
Great video. I love when the mistakes are shown. It's unfortunate you couldn't track down exactly what happened.
-
I like this channel because it is transparent and realistic, and shows the failures and struggles of creating. Also, takes both with a positive attitude.
-
This would probably be a hellish project idea, but you should do a bent resin waterfall table, with the wood part kerfed and bent.
-
Great now I cant stop thinking about doing this rock technique and carving something out of it. Fantastic idea.
-
To help prevent air bubbles I've put resin along the live edge, let it get to the gummy stage then done the main pour, seems to help keep any air bubbles coming through from the wood.
-
When you cut the bark off my heart shattered it would’ve made such a nice contrast with the light iridescent rocks! I also was hoping you’d do a dark contrast rock in navy blue to really give the table some depth but this turned out so well!
-
Evan and Katelyn need to help this guy
-
Wow table turned out great. Resin can be used years after expiration date, you’ll see yellowing to part A, this can be rectified by adding small amounts of blue if you need a clear pour, or add any color to mask the yellowing. I have a bottle of resin that I purchased in 2017 used it last week, colored it dark blue arguably my piece was smaller, the pour turned out fine. Resin that doesn’t set is 98% operator error ❤
-
I appreciate you leaving the mistakes in. We all make them, even experienced fabricators, but not all of us share our fails. A mistake is a learning experience, share it.
-
I love that you still posted this video. We all make mistakes.. it’s nice to share them. We can all learn from them. Love you guys
-
I can't get over how nice it ended up looking! So pretty.
-
Thoughts on tumbling the resin rocks so they are smooth? Might be a cool evolution.
-
I've got a crazy idea inspired by this video. Do a small end table to see how it turns out. Try smaller/non transparent pieces of epoxy and see if u can mimic a geo rock. As far as crushed epoxy. Maybe a rock crusher or something then screen out 1/2" 1/4" and 1/8th in and use what best fits the project.
-
Only bad thing about the DIY Mr. Cool units is that no good HVAC company wants to service them. When it breaks down it will be easier to just replace it then get someone to repair it.
-
The table looks awesome! Now I'd like to see one with solid black resin, same clear stones, glass finish.
