How to Create & Keep Swirls in Epoxy Resin after its set? - I Try The FREEZER METHOD! ❄
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 фев 2021
- So I have been asked a few times on how to keep the effects using 2 or 3 different colors like swirls in resin once its set! Its a difficult one and it doesn't always work well. You see the masters do it like Heath Knuckles etc but when we all try this it never looks the same does it ? Well today we are going to try a few experiments to see if we can create these cool looking effects in resin once set. I even try a FREEZER METHOD.

It would be really cool to see the red ones fully crushed and sealed in clear resin then used as an insert in some woodwork
or floating in the walls of a vase/ bowl
@@modestrocker1 ooh so true!
That was my 1st thought.
Like stained glass. That is a great idea. But smash up some more too.
I was just about to say that
If you watch Julie at ‘Pouring your heart out’ she mastered the art of leaving the resin to cure just long enough to do what she wants with all kind of colours... she is awesome.
Yes She is and can give you all kinds of ideas. She will try something new and keep trying different things till she gets what she wants. She also writes down how she did each experiment to refer back to.
Ill check that out . Ty
Lol I was going to challenge him to try Julie's feathering (that's my favorite) . Have a great weekend!
Yes, I was going to mention Julie, love that channel.
Love that channel!!
I like the orange-dream sickle...
Cream egg
Very cool. Love your crazy way of thinking.
Yeah, I was really hoping it would stay as an orange dream-sickle.
Hypothesis: freezing is unlikely to work because the cold inhibits curing. Once it comes back to room temperature, the resin effectively returns to its "just poured" state and cures the same as it normally would. However waiting for an hour lets it partially cure and makes it more viscous so it's just less mobile and less likely to mix further as it cures in the pressure pot.
This correct. Freezer slows the chemical reaction that causes the resin to cure. This is actually done in the real world in automotive refinishing, to extend the pot life of 2K paint
If working time is an issue, you could do both. Let it react for 45 minutes, put in the freezer for a while to slow the reaction down, then pull out, add colors and pour. If working with a large amount of resin, this might extend the window where it will pour but not mix.
Yep, I was expecting him to put in oven or heat, not freeze it. Warm the resin so it cures faster not letting the colors intermingle for as long.
Plus if it's in the freezer and still trying to cure (getting warm), it could draw in moisture from the freezer, adding water to the resin, causing even more problems, including cloudiness.
Exactly. Gentle heating and/or high shear mixing can serve to accelerate the reaction. Sometimes the addition of a small quantity of a “metallic powder” can also accelerate. Accelerating too fast can also cause the resin to be brittle. There are also thixotropic additives that can serve to increase the viscosity. If translucence is not a priority; then a pinch of cabosil fumed silica would be a great additive. Your example at the end shows that patiently waiting for the desired thickening just may be best!🤓🤩😎
Break them all into pieces, throw all the coloured pieces in a pot and put some clear resin in to join them and then use it as a really cool blank to make something from
I was thinking same thing. This would look awsome
What about aging one color for the hour, mix a second color in fresh resin and then mixing the fresh and aged materials and curing? Will you get better color pattern?
Good idea 💡
The different viscosity and set times should do the trick.
I have no practical experience with resin but that would've been my first idea too...
Drink more Diet Pepsi
A lot of comments, haven't gone through them all. 3 things:
1) Use a temp gauge so you know when the exothermic reaction is just thickening the resin.
2) Mix 1 color and let it set (temp gauge or viscosity check) then mix/pour 2nd color.
3) Talk to Entropy and ask if using more hardener in one batch will work, might not cure correctly though.
I use a Polyester resin that you add catalyst to. 5 drops/oz. If I over-catalyze, 2X, the 2nd color it thickens faster so the colors stay reasonably separate. A temp gauge is a good thing to have in the shop.
Love your videos.
OH! ALSO! If you let one color thicken up quite a bit then make the other color fresh so it's still thin when you pour, you can get some VERY interesting patterns. I did that with colored resin into clear in vertical pen blank molds and the results were spectacular. I poured the thicker resin into the thin from as far up as I felt I could aim and didn't touch it once the pour was done.
Our products tend to have that “dance like no ones watching” affect on people 😉
Nick does a lot of stuff knowing people watch and doesn't care anyways. He's genuinely funny
i dance like no one is watching and embarass my kids while weirding out my lizard. we all have those days nick just has them much more than we do.
I'd love to give them a go. I spend so much time on projects, I could use some high quality sound without wires in my power tools.
😲😲😲 The look your face takes on when your brain screams what! at the RUclips notification for Nick
Omg I’m early for once!!!! Just have to say my bf and I watch your videos all the time!!! 😍 we love you and your amazing creations! 😁
I can’t believe it, it’s a miracle! He made it through a whole video and I didn’t hear him use the word “funky” a single time. Wahoooo!
He absolutely did though

Ooh I'd love to see more of your experiments with resin and tbh any other experiments you end up doing. It's fascinating to watch and a nice learning experience.
I feel your pain. I paint 3D flowers in resin and have to find that window every time. It's not easy!
Happy days indeed 🕺💃
The last one is amazing, it looks like an under sea scape 💃🕺
I wanted to smell the red and orange ones for some reason ♥
You never disappoint Nick! Even the experiments are entertaining. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Can't wait to see what you do with these! Also, I'm ready for some rainbows!!!
Always a good night when Nick pops up on my notifications right before bedtime..your work is settling to my soul
Great video, one of the best in a while! I like seeing the experiments
I can really never get enough of your amazing work omgggg
One thing I find hard to get away from is pulling the white into the colour. Pulling the colour into the white is very rewarding. Love everything you do. Thanks for sharing. 😊
I love this as well as everything else you do!!
Yay. Actual educational content! Thank you
Groovy dance! this segment made me happy this early in the morning ♥️ 😂
I love when your videos are funny and serious and when you’re teaching us, how do you make something it’s enjoyable to watch you can some people on the other stuff did you like you were boring you’re the best thank you man enjoy
I'm glad you finally really dug into this subject. I know I left a few comments on it a long time ago, but you know how that goes. Looking forward to seeing how you get along with this on a bigger resin and wood project.
It's probably unintentional, but I really enjoyed listening to the rain when you were taking the samples out of the pressure pot.
I love seeing experiments like this. I hope you do more in the future.
I work small scale and don’t have a vacuum pot, so I warm my resins by putting the bottles in warm water to help prevent bubbles when I pour. Heating it quickens the curing process, so it gets thick quickly, and pouring it when it’s a little thicker helps.
One thing I like to do is pour a dark layer and let it sit for a little bit then drizzle other colors over it. Then pour some clear while the drizzled colors are still wet and the base is sticky. You’ll end up with a neat 3D looking set of layers and the clear layer will look like a “peep hole” in the middle of the other colors.
My husband and I love watching your channel, by the way!
Very kool!! Your antics, edits and sound effects always crack me up lol It would be great to see what you do with those next!
Absolutely love the red and white together! Thank you!
Cool experiment ! I always enjoy your videos Nick. Thanks !
I always love waking up to a nick notification. It's one of the best ways to wake up. Much love and support
I love this video. Specially when your're so funny. I am sure you make a lot of people laugh. Take care
I love your experimenting Nick!
Great stuff mate. Loving everything you do😎😎😎
I love watching your experiments. I'm always rooting for you 👍 and the colours are just 😍
THANK YOU! The tips are marvelous!
Regardless of content I can always count on a smile when watching your vids. Thanks Nick!😄
I really enjoy your channel.Thank you for sharing.I have been wanting to work with woodworking tools again for ages.They are rather expensive though so for now I am glad to live vicariously through your witty charm.Thank you
Great job, Nick! Enjoyed it, as usual!
I love resin experiments! ❣️💞
I would mix those broken chunks into clear resin then turn that down into something, like the base of a lamp.
Good idea
Or a translucent colour!
Fun times! Jake Thompson at Northside Crafts waits until his resin reches a certain temperature (95F I think) & he gets some great effects
Love what your doing Nick, can’t wait to see them turned. Reset the shards of the red one.
NB........ patience is a virtue Nick ☝🏼
13:49 wow, this looks so cool!
Absolutely love the Mixed Blast color !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome Nick. That is exactly what I needed to know for my Dragon' Egg project. Thanks for the video.
Cool Experiment. Can't wait to see more 👍🏻🧡
This is probably the best intro ever, love your dance moves!
Keep going pal, you inspire me and give me a bit of something to look forward to watching. Cheers buddy.
loving your vids as all ways :) o and i got to see you on TV to yay LOL good job with that printers chest :)
Bummer! That red and white was gorgeous! Adore that big aqua transparent block, wow!
Nick, been watching your fun vids for years, I get it, it's tough to come up with something fresh every week, stick to what your good at, have fun and turn something interesting, love ya bro
Honestly everything you do is my fav
So interesting! I love it!
These were great experiments. Yes the red one was beautiful as well as the giant blank you had at the end. I'd love to see you turn the shards into necklaces. Also, Charlie working with you doing Father and Son projects would be fun. Thanks for the fun video. Hugs ♥♥♥
LOVE LOVE COLORS!!!
Love the dance moves! Cool experiment!
The last one was sooo nice!
Your absolutely fun and talented. Thank you so much, going through a dry spell due to a toss of a jerk and the move has left me empty. Now I can get some new ideas and make some messes !
Got the dance moves...love it!
Love your sense of humor mixed with art experiences of all types. Even the "Oh crap!" ones. LOL. 👻😎🤣
Thanks for making this video. 🙂 I learned a lot. Very interesting.
I don't really even care THAT much about resin but I hit subscribe within 30 seconds of this video because YOU are freaking AWESOME! You just entertained the H$LL outta me and I laughed like a little kid. Well done. New fan for sure!
ZWhat’s up Nick about a year ago the first video I seen on turning with your video you were doing some crazy stuff with epoxy I got flat out inspired and addicted so now I got my shop going from nothing to the point I should do pretty much do anything just want to thank you finishing my first epoxy project tonight Rock on
That intro! 😆😆😂😂🤣🤣 the red one is my favourite one (just saw it shatter as I was typing this) thanks for doing these experiments Nick! ... stay funky! 🕺
Yesss! This was awesome. Looked like a funky ice cube!
You're a very creative person 💜
They all looked good great job
Brilliant video Nick 👍🏽💕x
I always turn to Nick for any experiments with resins, along with Jake Thompson and Daniel Cooper.
I love an experiment, the red and orange reminded me of the strawberry/orange cream boilings I can't find in the shops anymore. The blue mix is amazing 😲 can't wait to see what you do with the bits 👍
The last piece with the green was very nice. Will look forward to seeing it made up😎
I completely thought the towel in your freezer was your socks. 😂
Now would he be turning them or dipping the socks in resin?
This guy is crazy !! I love it !!!!! Long live the madman ! :)
That purple made a heart in the center very good for a small something!
Love this.
Smooth dance moves, Nick.
Hello from Montana, love your channel!
Yup!
Hey hellllllo 😁
Hello Montana!
We learn a lot from failures! It's still a good thing !
I love your videos, Content and humor! Keep up the good work brother! 👍👍
I love the red and white one 😍
I really like the red and white one. I'll be trying that, Thanks!
Very interesting experiment! Thank you for the info. That red colour is gorgeous! ♥️
Awesome experiment Nick and the red ones my favorite as well take care cheers
Loved the red!
Love this experiment. The orange and red turned out excellent. And the purple is pretty as well just more subtle. I’ve got to try this tip.
Thanks for sharing. ✌🏼🙂
Only Nick would award the shattered one as the winner! 😲
Greetings from Sydney Australia. Love your channel.
I love the experiments! Maybe once perfected, a crystal clear resin with colored swirls in it like a big marble would be crazy-cool! Oh the possibilities!!!!! :)
I have never searched for and downloaded a song so fast in my life! Veins by Ennio Mano .... this song....is a headache cure😭😭 I didn't know they still made smooth jazz like this!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Nick is the Resin Deity!
I rocked the red and white! The orange and white was number two. However, I would LOVE a pen made from number three! Well done! Cheers!
I love that final one, reminds me of the ocean.
Love your videos
I love the dancing and the opening was awesome
My heart cries out for more Zammeti dance videos. Pls.
I do the 'leaving it until it's just starting to set " when im making soap Nick. The swirls turn out amazing!
Had my covid vaccine and have been feeling so rough, this has definitely cheered me up!
I have heard from others that have a really rough go of it afterwards. I am not going to get it.
@@joallawestervelt6918 honestly I had the worst of it but in 24 hours you feel fine again, after a long sleep last night I'm just feeling very achy. The pros weigh out the cons by so much, obviously it's your choice aha but it's up to the younger generation to get vaccinated to rebuild the economy.
Plus it Was a good excuse to have a duvet day with chocolate ;)
Take care.
@@LucyJS12 getting the vaccine has nothing to do with rebuilding the economy.....
@@Livlocalmartian I've read some really interesting articles about the benefits of the vaccine on the economy, I would definitely recommend reading some :)
Zammeti with a dad dance for us. You should keep to the turning, brother.
Also, "we're gonna keep the colors the same" ... 2 minutes later... "I'm gonna change the colors". Welcome to adult ADHD (no judgement, brother, love you)
I kind of liked the dance!
Some dance-moves are always welcome. 🕺🏻😊
I am there ever day just on the female side of it😁
