This is what happens when Epoxy Resin is mixed Incorrectly or with the wrong ratio.

- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- This video shows you what happens when the epoxy is not measured or mixed correctly. The only 2 ways this can happen is if it's not measured out to the right ratio of Part A to Part B or its not mixed long enough for Part A and Part B to blend. We did a little of both in this video.

I do appreciate you taking the time to conduct that comparison. Would recommend that you explain what your doing when mixing correctly and the same for the other board. I am one of those DIYers that look for these kinds of videos to learn from. By the way, based on most of the epoxy videos I have seen on YT, mixing by hand is the recommended actions and NOT mixing with A DRILL.
I though the point was to show the correct way to mix...which he never mentions the ration or how to do it.........he just shows you the end result....so what is the purpose of the video?
My thoughts exactly. Useless video
I mean thing that I got out of the video was that the last one he didn't mix for long enough. But yes I agree with you I think that he could have been a lot more descriptive about what was wrong
The purpose? Really? It is in the title and at the end of the video. It's so you know what happens when mixing it wrong.
SMH.
@@vanessanandez exactly! If I had to guess, which I did, he did not scrape the sides and the bottom of the cup while mixing & he didn't mix long enough!
Great Video! Before peeps start hating on the vid, read the video description. Plus, the correct ratio is the 1:1 or 1:2 listed on the jug of epoxy or in the epoxy instructions. The wrong ratio would be anything that isnt 1:1 or 1:2. Also in the correct mixing the instructions will list to stir for 3-5 minutes until mixed well and scrape the sides and bottom. So the wrong mixing will be stirring for less then directed and without scraping sides and bottom. Simply put: for Correct Method follow instructions of epoxy. For Incorrect Method ignore instructions and wing it. That simple.
Thanks for this your like the only person to actually show what happens when not mixed properly
I’m glad you demonstrated the right and wrong way. Very eye opening to show how important attention to detail is. I’m watching as many videos as I can before I do my own basement. I plan on doing it in a couple of weeks I hope I get it right
How did it turn out?
I believe this would have had way more value if you would have said the correct number mix ratio which is marked on the mixing cup for the correct mix and a wrong mixed ratio that you had for the 2nd
Dragonfly1992 Dragonfly yes but also folks want to know verbally as well rite out the horses mouth !
Dragonfly1992 Dragonfly so he the co owner is not going give the correct way and or advise? Kinda dumb the more info the better so we the customers won’t have doubt! Ya big dummy smfh
Dragonfly1992 Dragonfly also yes trial and error but being this kit is 595 in my case. I. Red all info I can get dumb ass have an awesome life cheers
Dragonfly1992 Dragonfly duh you idiot Love that. Damn Hes rite. So let me
Completely agree! I like what can be created but he is not the best at giving instructions on how too 🤨
Thank you! I thought I had measured mine all correct but you’ve proven I’ve not mixed enough, mine isn’t as soft but it’s not counter top hard.
Thanks for that I need to know exactly all the things that I could potentially do wrong because trust me I will do them.
That black and gold table looks gorgeous! I’m so trying this!
Yes those are two great combinations for colors. Take a look our brochure. Thanks

REALLY needed that , Thank you very much !!
I did this exact mistake..thanks so much for telling me where I went wrong
Thanks for the video .. I had to rewatch the video to get the difference though. Many more thanks. Thanks for the emphasis on mixing.
I've always preferred a very soft countertop.
HAHA!
to match your head
🤭💀
from Colombia thank you for your time and money expended in this grate video
Your welcome, and thanks for watching our videos.
Awesome video so clear n precise ,thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching
4:25 even your glass finish got scratched mate !
Nobody claimed that it's scratch proof without a protective coating.
Epoxy scratches relatively easy... Thats why everyone throws a clear urathane over the top to help protect from scratches
Whether we should add hardner into this epoxy mixture or not?
Wow.. the correct one didnt even scratch... hurray thank you for that.....😀
Totally! Such a difference! : )
valerie Henry Actally, it did. If you look closely to the right of his hand at 4:24 You can see the long scratch. I do hope that's because it's only 3 days cured. I don't remember for sure if this is the brand that says that it is at its toughest after a 30 day cure.
That being said, his point in this video is VERY WELL made. If you don't mix it right, it's soft, pliable, and prone to a large extent of damage with little effort. Nothing an extra 27 days of curing will fix.
It does scratch a little but all resins do. Actually, everything scratches if it isnt a diamond. :) Resin can be repaired with a heat gun on some instances, which is why they make good surfaces for tables and night stands.
So what happens if you use the correct ratio but don't mix it enough?
What if you put Part A and Part B in one container and hardly mix them? Do they start to solidify at the points where the mixtures meet, but stay soft through the rest of the fluid?
Is countertop/bar top epoxy resin different than epoxy resins used for fiberglassing?
How do you clean the brushes after using resin? I find cleaning up resin quite difficult.
Love y'all work... Ill be ordering some soon
Sounds great! Let us know if there's anything we can help you with when ordering! Feel free to email us at: Leggari@gmail.com

Can I ask a question ...I paint river rocks ( mainly turn them into animals etc ) when finished I resin them and I get a nice shiny glass finish - until now ?? this latest batch of 2 to 1 resin is a worry -- when it sets hard its dull ( like hazy ? for lack of a better word ) never had this happen before and always used the same brand of high quality resin from the same supplier and ideas ?? as to why this would happen , many thanks..
Wanted to know because I wanted to start this in Ghana. Thank you . please reply me as soon as possible.
When buying your product, Does the tutorials include sample board size measurements or a chart for different sized wall art? Thanks so much!
Hello! We don't but the kits cover 50sq. ft. if you're talking about Liquid Glass Epoxy, that can cover up to 150 sq. ft. for art pieces.
Thank's to share this information!!
You're welcome!
Please tell me how much pigment I need to add to isopropyl alcohol in order to get a nice splash effect?
I’m working on a project which is a large map of an island (24”x30”) made out of sand and glue. The ocean and lakes have been made with colored resin. Different blues in the ocean. I now need to sand it to tidy up some ugly ripples before applying the final layer of clear resin. I need the resin to be thin in order to work around the fiddley edges of the island. I also need more working time. What is the best way to thin the resin? I will be mixing approximately 20oz of mixed resin total (10oz of each resin and hardener).
Our epoxy resin has more working time than any product on the market. You will not need to thin our product out. Thanks
Thanks, this was very informative
Hi, take a look at our online brochure. Thanks
online.flippingbook.com/view/364043
Would have been nice if you explained the correct ratio of apoxy and hardener. Or was that ready mixed apoxy and all you had to do was stir it for long enough. I’ve never done this before but am keen to do a coffee table at home. Table is 3ft / 18inches. How much apoxy should I purchase?
Bro!!!!! That had to be almost impossible to do wrong!!🤣🤣🤣
The mix made me bust up laughing!!!!
I scraped from the bottom of the bucket, and the part of floor made from that scrap is now soft. Its been 3 weeks from aplication, still soft.
@Leggari
Please tell me what to do now?
Thanks
great work!! can i use your product on granite counter top I have?
Hi, newbie here . Did you have both parts of epoxy already mixed in that big container ? And was the gold an Acrylic paint?
Also how much roughly for those 2 areas ?
It's around same size as what I want to do
Thank you for the upload 👍
@@patriciagallacher2905 Thank you 👍
May I ask you about powder mixing?
In your video I see the small dots from the pigment. In other videos I see just the color, no dots. I like your effect and I wondering if there is different mixing techniques.
thank you
There is not different mixing techniques but there is different application techniques. Thanks
online.flippingbook.com/view/364043
@@LeggariProducts I still do not understand what's wrong in Part B, the mixing techniques & application techniques are the same between Part A & Part B
Wow. Didn't realized what a big difference it'd make. Glad I watched this before attempting anything.
The ratios and mixing make a huge difference. Thanks
@@LeggariProducts We will be ordering a couple of sample kits to try. Thanks!
cool video. I just ordered 5 gallons of epoxy. need to find a good coloring agent
Saludos desde Ecuador
I have two questions for you first can you take a,plate out of the microwave and set on this. That is what has ruined my Formica top and two I notice that your guys do not use masks does this mean that there is not a horrible smell and fumes? I love love love the work that you all do . Excellent !
For peace of mind watch our video about setting hot pans on the counters. It’s the video with fire on the cover photo. Working with epoxy everyday we really should wear masks but not there are no obnoxious smells to the epoxy. Safe practice is the best obviously. Thanks for the comment.
This was VERY VERY helpful. Im new to the epoxy world. May I ask what brand epoxy you use
We use Leggari epoxy. Check us out on our website at www.leggari.com. Thanks
Do you not have to use a mask with the epoxy you're using? I'm only asking because I've learned of people getting sick from not using protection while using epoxy. If so, is it a natural or chemical free epoxy, and what type is it? Thanks
What was the black primer u put on before u did your pouring? It was very glossy before hand. Love this so much btw
Our primer is a water based epoxy specifically designed to chemically bond to almost all smooth surfaces.
So are these brushes and rollers ruined after one use? Or is there a way to clean them with something?
They are. We recommend new brushes each time.
Had some counter tops done. Bar was perfect. Counter tops along the walls actually soften with heat. I think the second layer was mixed wrong, and the top clear coat was done right. You can literally move it with your fingers like a hard bubble of water. I was told that it was probably the temperature of the room? When we did the Bar it was about 70, when we did the counter top, it was 90 in a new construction. Any info on this would be great.
Hi there, did you use our products to do your counter tops?
You got me good bro. Thanks.😁👍
Thanks for watching the video
Thanks for the info!!
Your welcome Chelsea
It looked like you might have put less harder in the second one was that part of the demobstration?
The demonstration is that it was not mixed long enough. It has to be mixed thoroughly before you pour.
Damon Diehl yeah I understand that but if u don't put in corect amount of haedner it it won't harden corectly either I'm nearing 15 years of experience with using materials simular . Looks nice when done correctly thumbs up for video
Any fixing a soft spot? I recently did 1,300sq ft floor and have one little soft gooey spot.
Can you see marks or scratch if you look close on the properly mixed epoxy?
Can u make a Video of making Coir composite using epoxy resin..i cant find the correct material:resin ratio ^_^
Hi I notice a scratch on the good on at 4.23..lol, would the bad one set in time if left longer or would this be as good as it gets ..
fishtank5050 Yeah, I saw that too. Wonder if it would scratch after a few more days. I really wish they would address this. I don't want to order it anymore after seeing that
I haven't used their products yet but am fairly experienced in working with epoxy resins. Epoxy is more likely to get scratched than for example polyurethane because it is more brittle. But the curing process usually takes longer than the three days shown here, so it will be even more resistant after a week. Also note that the screwdriver he used probably has a hardened steel tip, which easily scratches most materials (it's relative scratch hardness can be as high as that of quartz!)The bad one will probably never fully cure. Correct resin/hardener ratio is crucial whren working with epoxy!
Y’all are dumb. Gouge anything with a screw driver I’m sure it will leave a mark, like granite, marble, or laminate. It’s not a magical product. Take care of it and he’ll be fine.
how to fix it if fail like those? can i pour another epoxy on it?
can i use plastic ruler as tool for mixing the epoxy?
Hi frd what is the correct radio for rock
Awesome tutorial 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi, take a look at our online brochure. Thanks
online.flippingbook.com/view/364043
Did you put a second layer on either one for trying clear coat effect? Because if not they still have an amazing shine to them. Do you need a special type of paint to mix the epoxy with or no?
No just the one layer of epoxy. for colors we use metallic powdered pigments. Thanks
Leggari Products Looked great bud, I subscribed I want to learn how to do this for my custom fish tank stand.
Do u sell the same one on amazon.ca ??? thx
Do you have a detail video on how to mix the epoxy ???
That would be really helpful for those interested in your product.
GONEWILDFILMS Yes we do. When u order our products we email you detailed tutorial videos of each process depending on what countertop kit or floor kit u ordered.
@@LeggariProducts I ordered the kit and I didn't receive any intructions as you said and I didn't put it correctly so I ordered the base coat again.😔
Hi, I have to finish 2 rooms, thinking about using Leggari. However I have done 4 rooms one room the Floor is tacky after polyurethane. I used Denatured alcohol twice on the floor. . The floor is still slightly tacky and I can basically scrape the polyurethane off with a screwdriver. Fyi, I waited 24 hours between coats. Any advice?
Email us directly at leggari@gmail.com with pictures. Can you also let us know what and who's product you used. Then we can determine a fix for this. Thanks
One thing I would like to know, and I can't find the answer. If, after I finish with the epoxy coat, i don't like the pattern. Can I reapply a new epoxy coat or do I need to somehow strip off the first coat?
You would need to sand it with 80 grit, clean it with denatured alcohol then you can prime it and re-epoxy it. Thanks
Thank you.
Thank you so much
This is amazing - I think I've found a new hobby! Would like to start out with a very small item though, what would you recommend?
Order a sample kit and apply it to a small table. Thanks
Fully intend to do so. Will let you know how it goes.
WarmTenderTouch how’s it? Been two years now mate
Thanks for video. 👍👍👍
Your welcome
Thanks that was good to see but what is the warranty or lifespan off these products for on the kitchen worktops?
We warranty all our products against delamination (peeling off sub-straights). Also against defective products up until an installation has been successfully completed
Could you explain the scratch on the good one? I want to order this but that concerns me. Thanks!
He is gouging it with a sharp brand new screwdriver to show how durable it is. This would scratch up any other surface like granite, tile, hardwood, etc. Thanks
Leggari Products Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I will be ordering soon!
had flooding in our basement from Harvey...Had someone come in to Epoxy flooring on the concrete. Most of it looks great. There are some areas that did not take. I suppose one could guess the rest of this. Contractor is not answering calls to come and fix. "Contractors" taking off have reached epidemic levels in our area. What you have described is exactly what has happened. I would like to know what I can do to fix this as I believe the contractor will probably never answer calls and my furniture is still on the back porch! Any help or answers would be welcome!
You could always do,it over what has been done incorrectly. It would be expensive, but its obviously niy going to last like this. Plus if you already have all your stuff out of there, thars galf tge battle!! I would just do it over, the correct way, then have a beautiful, durable flior for years to come.
I have a counter that runs approx 11.5 feet long x 24" deep, then the smaller area around the sink that is about 5 ft. long x 24" deep. My question is....do you have "smaller" kits that would be for this small of a counter space...or only kits for larger areas???
The smallest kit we have does 50 sq. ft. at this time. Thanks
Dont know if you help out or not. But my brother did an epoxy countertop and the top was wavy and there were large holes where it looks like it was repelled or something. Any thoughts or remedies?
Email us pics at leggari@gmail.com so we can take a look at it. Thanks
I just did the "know it all" way and totally screwed up a 7 ft piece of yew wood I've been working on for a counter too. I've got Hard and sticky areas- what do I do to save it?
If the spots are sticky and not pure liquid then there’s a chance that over time (possibly a long time) it will still get hard. If the spots are still liquid or you just don’t have the time to wait you should try and scrape off what you can and sand/grind the rest off. If it’s just a clear coat of epoxy that’s much easier, scrape off the soft spots, wipe the remaining residue with acetone to clean it off then flood the area again with clear epoxy. Hope that helps. Thanks

I LOVE..YOU WORK...IS MAGNIFIC .IS BEAUTYFUL..GOD BLESS..
I didn't realize how tough and resistant to scratching it is..was that epoxy only? No poly top coat?
That would be after applying the urethane top coat. Thanks
Would it work as good if you mix it with a tool like a drill? Would it cause more air bubbles? Would it shorten the stirring time?
Yes you can use a drill to mix the product. You will mix the epoxy for about 3-4 minutes. Thanks
Great info thanks
You're welcome, we hope it helps!
Great video, thanks
Hi, take a look at our online brochure. Thanks

I have noticed strong fumes from using it. Is it supposed to smell very strong. I was using it and had to run to another room in my apartment. I then opened all the windows. My right nostril is burning a little bit. I hope I am ok. Also what would happen if you use the hardner by itself? Also how do you safely sand without experiencing any toxic effects?
The product is very low VOC’s meaning it has little to no smell at all. It’s 100% solids so there’s no toxins evaporating in the air.
Good result bro
AoA amazing I ll try but tell me about perfect method plz jazak Allah
Need help...today i built a table top of epoxy...and i dont know how the steam started coming out of it....and it all got hard in jist few minutes...
Does additional heating can make correct a little bit the wrong mixture please ? Thanks
Any tips on removing a finger print? I didn't let mine cure 100% and accidentally grabbed the edge leaving
half a thumb print. Tried using non-acetone nail polish remover on a Q-tip lightly and it helped,
but it left a small amount of residue where the print was. I was thinking something with a petroleum
based additive maybe, but I don't know. I do know when it comes to almost everything I've done
in the finishing world that less is always best. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
If you have not applied a top coat you can sand the surface with 220 grit using a palm sander in circular motion then clean with denatured alcohol then apply the top coat. You can also try to buff it out. Thanks
@@LeggariProducts Thanks for the tip!
Ok, my mistake was not mixing the ratio for the complete 3 minutes, hence causing it to be tacky. The denatured alcohol only dulled the surface and same with a 320 and 220 grit. I used WD-40 and it got rid of the tackiness. Typically I use that when cleaning up caulking on jobsites,
and it always worked, so decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, had nothing to lose at this point.
Then I used Helmsman poly (uv resistant) in a semi gloss. Problem solved!
Lesson I learned - don't fuuuuk with epoxy directions!)
Why I didn't mix for the total 3 mins? Well I use Gorilla glue epoxy frequently and you can mix for 30 secs and it works just fine. I had presumed in my infinite amateur wisdom, that all epoxies cured the same, and that Parks Super Glaze was being ridiculous. Bottom line for newcomers to the world of epoxies...read and follow directions thoroughly!! I almost ruined a very important project I was making as a gift.
So what was the problem exactly? Not mixing long enough and incorrect measuring? Will that softness ever harden up or is it a total loss?
How does temperature affect the dry time and final overall consistency?
If it's still sticky (and not just soft), does that mean it's still curing and just give it more time?
Hey can y'all tell me or send me a link to the video that shows how to mix correctly. That's what I was looking for. I'm so scared I'm gunna f* up my floor (and I ain't about to waste this $$ I spent) but I'm not finding the step by step I'm needing to do this. Or if y'all have a pdf with step by step that would be even better!!! Thanks!! 😜😘👍🤷♀️🤦♀️
Love you guys videos very good
Thanks for watching our videos
Can the wrong one get hard if kept for a week/month or something?
Also.., is 2-5% mesurement error fine?
could you please tell me what primer you used?
Our primer is a water based epoxy specifically designed to chemically bond to almost all smooth surfaces.Thanks
I just did my sample kit, the video said mix for a minute and a half, but it's a little soft just like the incorrect one in this video. It's been 24 hours right now. Do I need to wait longer?
It takes seven days to fully cure.
ok good. It doesn't look nearly as bad as the one in this video so I'll keep waiting. Thanks! It looks awesome and was super easy to do.
I know this was done years ago & idk if you moniter old video comments.... i just did my counters & it soft. Should i wait after the 3 days to see if its still soft?
If it is still soft after a couple days the resin probably didn't get mixed well enough! email customerservice@leggari.com and they will be able to help you!
What is the wood to you used for rios video
We applied the epoxy over plywood. Thanks
@@LeggariProducts thank you so much
Is there any way to salvage this stuff if we mess it up? I dont have any experience with this
Yes, you just have to sand it really good with 80 grit then you can reapply the product. Thanks
Do you have to blend the color in? Or can it be left that way?
You don't have to blend the colors but it will not give you much of the marbling look, it will just look more like veins. Thanks
So are your instructions pretty clear on mixing ratios and how long to mix when your product is purchased???
Yes they are, the tutorial videos are on our website at www.leggari.com under the floor and countertop sections. Thanks
Is there anything Mr. Knowitall can do at this point to possibly salvage an area that was not mixed properly?
Thanks for watching the video
Hi leggari , please do you produce this products
Useful..tnq🥰
Glad we were able to teach you something. Thanks for watching the video
OMG, THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO ON RUclips THAT I ACTUALLY WALKED AWAY FEELING DUMBER.
Thanks for watching the video
jokes on you because you watched it and gave them add revenue for doing so
Also will the right ratio matter if you are using it for art like paperweights
Yes you want all your ratios to be exact. Thanks
My kids often use the counter tops to cut stuff on them, will the epoxy hold up to this kind of treatment ?
Our counter top kits are rated for high heat and our urethane top coat is extremely scratch resistant, but we still recommend using cutting boards and pot holders like any other high end counter so that your counters look good for years to come. Thanks
