When you make it engaging from start to finish for a unmedicated adhd personwith the attention span of a Pomeranian , that’s how you know you are a great instructor and creator. Loved this
Information videos are long winded tedious affairs that I skip through very quickly to find what I want to know.
I never got to the first click forward in this one. I watched. I got the info I wanted, and more. No faffing around, no fillers, no fluff. No irritating chatter! No fancy effects! Wow.
It felt like less than a minute, and the video was done. Every sentence useful. Never seen anything like this before.
Nailed it. Thanks!
Wow Cathie, that's high praise! Thank you for watching.
Pretty sure I just learned more in 5 minutes than I have in the past month of trying to figure out what different resins do. Awesome.
We're glad we could help! Thanks for watching!

Well resines is the main things why i hear so many good tiler said they use resin not exposy ?? Whta acttually means and what brands .... to use it outside exposy is not good. Bc uv rays... but whata aboit to join porcelance tile or countertop many use exposy ??? But now they claim use resin???? Any input
You could probably learn about 5-minute epoxy in 30 seconds.
@@OregonDARRYL With this guy, I don't doubt it.
@@jaandel1 Your question isn't clear. Are you laying tile, like a floor, backsplash, or wall? There are specific mastics for those purposes and they are cementitious, not epoxies or urethane resins.
I’m on the same praise boat. When you started wrapping up, I was like, “wait. I thought the video was 5 minutes long.” Only to realize that almost 5 minutes had truly elapsed. THANK YOU!
I cant believe how concise and informative this video was. Everything you said was extremely useful and you managed to fit more information in one 5 minute video than multiple other longer videos combined! Honestly i think i just absorbed hours of research in a mere 5 minutes!
This video was amazing! Excellent work!
Thank you for explaining all this! So many years with just hearing the terms being thrown around without any understanding. Great vid.
We're glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
This was one of the best intros I've seen. Clear and concise. Thank you.
Happy to hear it, Lou! Thank you for watching and for the feedback.
Another great video with easy to comprehend explanations! I'd love to see a video on utilizing the uv resin in other applications besides fishing lures. I'd also like to see a video on ways to remove bubbles from your epoxy when using it in different applications, like silicone molds, acrylic blanks, tumblers, covering artwork, etc (not just deep pouring).
These are some awesome ideas that we'll definitely be adding to our list! Thanks so much for watching!!
Powerful information right here! Easily comprehensible and dense, nice work and thank you!
Thank you for the ideas you shared. Even in a short discussions it really help. Hope there are more people will watch your videos. Keep smiling God bless,
Very informative 👍
Heyo thanks Bobby!
Hi bobby
Thank GOD all the facts nice and clear, at a quick pace. He covered all the information in the amount of time it takes other RUclips presenters to finish their introduction about their tumultuous upbringing.
Glad you got what you needed from it! Reach out if you have any other questions or need help at all. 🤙🏻
This video was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Extremely helpful & easy to understand great work Thanks 😊
Jordan, I have learned a lot watching your videos. Thanks bunches for sharing your expertise!! 😊
You yellowing video was great!! 👍🏼
Excellent video
You are easy to follow, easy to understand and easy on the eyes!
Thanks for the help 😊
Great and to the point. No blabla for 40min+.
Thank you❤
This was a much needed explanation for me! Just starting to incorporate resin into my wood turnings. Id gotten a small amount of Clear slow and poured my first pen blanks where I casted mini pine cones. Turned out great, so I ordered the 16lb kit just the other night! I was really excited to start using it to cast wood into large blanks. I am SO glad I watched this before I combined this with some wood that may not have been perfectly dry and ruined the whole thing!
Would love to see a video with more detail about casting wood into blanks, or using epoxy/urethane to fill knots, cracks, voids, etc.; When it’s ok to use one vs the other; What moisture content does wood have to be before you can use urethane; etc etc.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Seth
Hey there Seth! I'm so glad you found the video helpful, and that you're liking using Clear Slow! I'm going to link a few videos here on casting hybrid wood and resins items from some of our affiliates. (Epoxy is usually best for knots and voids, and for the moisture content... as close to 0% as possible with urethanes.) ruclips.net/video/s7EoPC1Nlb4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/v-jwrEhtn20/видео.html
Thank you so much!
Hey, Seth. I've been reading on the wood combinations, too. Most people say you can use urethane as long as the wood is sealed completely, ie: a clear topcoating. Hopefully Jordan/Alumilite will correct me if I'm wrong.
@@julietmurphy8637 maybe a dewaxed shellac or sanding sealer
@@oldkingcrow777 Polyurethane sealer works perfectly. The goal is to have a moisture barrier between the wood, which always has some moisture content, and the resin to prevent frothing, bubbling, and discoloration from the reaction of the curing resin to the moisture in the wood.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! This explanation simplifies it so much for us newbies.
We're glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
Great video - I am repairing a boat so my main question was whether to use epoxy or polyester - keeping in mind gel coat will be going on last.
I have had issues with pouring the clear with wood and now I know why. I also have to figure out how much of each I need around now! Thank you!
Glad we could help! Email us at info@alumilite.com if you have any questions in the future :)
quite possibly the best explanation summary I have ever seen.
Loved this guy ...very informative without talking over your head ! Thanks for clearing things up.
Thanks for watching!
Dude, I had one question and you gave me more than I could ever ask for. Really great video man, extremely informative👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Danny that's music to our ears. Thank you so much!
Thank you! You’re amazing. We are tobacco pipe artists wanting to make our own beautiful stem blanks instead of buying and learning from your channels and others “how to”. Please keep the videos coming!!
So glad you're enjoying the videos and finding them helpful. If there's anything you can't find an answer to, you can always email us at info@alumilite.com!
How are the stems turning out? Website?
@@othername1000 sadly after serious health issues & the economy, the small business dissolved.
Good job Jordan. Love your teaching style.
Thanks for checking us out!
Exceptional video. Easy to watch, funny, and tons of info
THE ULTIMATE video in explaining the subject matter! Awesome brotha'!
Thanks for the awesome feedback!
Simple, fast, informative....... Awesome!!!!
Quick yet clear. Very good style and approach. Cannot recommend this video enough for any resin hobbyist or new crafter.
Thanks so much!
That was exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you
We're glad we could help!
One of the best videos I've seen in a long time! Need to see some strength relationships also joints and forming illustration be helpful.
Very well demonstrated and with such energy! THX!!! All the confirmation I needed for my garage floor!!!
Thank you for making these videos! They are so super helpful.
We're glad you like them!! Let us know if there is a specific topic you want to see us cover!!
Great video Jordan and Alumilite Team!! Great content - a lot of info in a 5min video delivered in an Amazing Clear and Fun way ;) Please give us more of that! =) I like Mert's suggestion for more content (hardness) and I think it would be interesting (at least to me) to know also which resin goes (or doesn't go) with types of colorant. I had an intriguing experience with ACS and acrylic... Cheers!
Thank you Roberto, we're proud of this video! That's a great suggestion, we'll definitely add it to our list. A lot of it goes back to the moisture content! If they're water-based colorants, they're going to react strongly with polyurethane resins. Cheers!
Good clear, concise explanation. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback!
thank you. i just got into wood turning and wanted to add resin to my pieces but was unsure what i needed to use.
Glad we could help!
Great lesson teacher kept my attention. I learned exactly what I was questioning.
Happy to hear it! If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
@@AlumiliteCorporation sir if in this video some experimental than it will be great video no doubt this is Amazing video
That's Simplest explanation. Thanks Man very useful.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome, thank you. Now I’d like to see about the differences AFTER they are cured.
love the video! Your speed and focused script were great
Thanks for the feedback!
I absolutely loveeee this video! Thank you for getting straight to the point without making me skip thru a bunch of stuff, and making me laugh!😭☺️
Haha! Happy to hear it Mari - we'll be sure to make more to keep you educated AND entertained.
At this point, I'm just gonna buy Alumilite products, just because the videos are so entertaining and informative compared to any other manufacturer.
Quick and thorough. Much appreciated.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video, I've wondered quite a few times about the comparison of the two! Would you say there's any substitute for epoxy resin? I've researched quite a bit and so far I have yet to find anything that is similar or the same :(
Thank you for this video. I am doing a research on these things but couldn't get much with so many "buy this, buy that" ads/marketing.
As much as we want you to buy our products and be a loyal customer, we believe that education is more important! Base knowledge is important - after that you just need to use the products that work best for you and your projects!
Yes, I want a deeper one. Thanks very much for all your videos
Your goods looks are only shadowed by the valuable information in this video, my good man! Dude, I leaned a lot. Thanks for it.
Thanks for watching!
I just gotta say, the person starring in this video should have a RUclips channel. Excellent presentation, great vibes, felt like I was listening to myself talk with my favorite teacher but they had the same voice hahaha
Absolutely freaking amazing presentation of information! Well done!
Great video! Excellent presentation of subject matter. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Great explainer video and Jordan's delivery was awesome! So far I've stuck with epoxy as I'm a little apprehensive to go Urethane with the rain/humidity in the Seattle area (I'm sure it would work, but I'm a wimp). I didn't like the Amazing Clear as it was way too thick for my taste, but I saw a video on your new deep pour epoxy and just bought some to do a side by side test with my current brand. May the odds be ever in your favor. :)
Thanks for the feedback, Jerry! Yes, our Amazing Deep Pour is much less viscous than any of our other resins. It's almost like water! Thanks for watching, can't wait to see what you think of ADP.
I want this guy to teach me everything. He's precise (without being petty), and concise (without being a prick). Respect.
Literally not even here out of necessity but damn was that surprisingly engaging.
Awesome info, it’d be good have info on durability, water, heat, UV resistance, ideal applications for counters, furniture, indoor, outdoor, etc. (maybe it’s in another video, if so please post the link). It’d be nice if the camera stayed zoomed out more so we can see more of what’s being pointed at (and have the camera move less), but I mean it’s your video so do whatever you want! Well made in either case, thanks!
Excellent video with some humor. Great presentation and very useful information. Thanks.
We're glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Great content and fun to listen to. Thank you for taking the time to put it out there
Thank you for taking the time to watch!
I love this guy. He makes me laugh SO HARD. I just almost fell of my bed. LOL. Amazing video. Super helpful.
Haha! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
I have watched this 20 times at least, I love it when he jokes at 3.40 . plus he explains very well!!!
Thanks so much for watching - we're glad you enjoyed it!
This was truly informative in a good way.
You are a awesome speaker and very detailed... You taught me alot in that short time ..thank you for the video.. You should be a teacher ...you are 99% better at it than 100% of any teacher I have e we had ... lol...Thanks again!!
Great explanation, really makes things a lot clearer
So glad it was helpful. Let us know if there's anything else you like to learn or things we can help to make clearer.
@@AlumiliteCorporation i was actually wondering if you had a video explaining the difference between the three epoxy resins, what is different with the plus vs. The regular and what makes a deep pour epoxy different
Really useful information. Definitely do another more detailed one. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll have another one coming out shortly. :)
Brilliant video, informative, helpful and fun! I wish I had had a science teacher like you at school, I might have learnt more! 😂
haha so happy to help!!!
Thank you! I would like more information about this topic.
Awesome, Mark! We'll definitely be making more videos in the future.
Informative, clear and humorous 👍
Thanks so much!
I love your teaching ♥️ ❤️ 💕 💖
U makes it look so easy
Thanks
This is the type of video you can watch over and over to clarify which product and process to use in a lot of different projects,... mine is thickening up polyurethane, so it stays transparent when cured, instead of using clearcast,
(like what's used on countertops with stuff captured deep inside)
Love the info, love the science, love the presentation. I just love the new videos!
Catherine, that's so great to hear! We'll have more for you soon.
Thanks for making this understandable!
Thanks for watching, Lewis!
Thanks, you guys are always so helpful.
That's great information. I don't know how many people come into our craft store and ask for epoxy and when we point them to resin they say no. I'll point them your way. :) Thank you for the information.
Oh we definitely feel this! We got the questions so often that we had to make a video about it 😅 Thanks for watching and sending people our way!
Thanks a lot for sharing, which one is more resistance to scratch?
Great video. Very entertaining and clear information.
Great job! Informative and humorous!
Thanks for watching!
Wow, thank you. You’re a great teacher.
Very helpful video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Holy hell I love your video and straight to the point, no bullshit, no nada. BEST RUclipsR I've seen.
Thanks for the awesome feedback! We'll be making more like this in the future! :)
Thank you, well presented and I have learned well.
We're glad! Thanks for watching
Thank you that was VERY helpful
We're glad we could help - thanks for watching!
Hey awesome presentation 👏 not a BORING lecture!!!! love from Ireland 🇮🇪!!!!
Thanks for the feedback!!
You can get slow and fast cure hardener for epoxy and still work with it while it’s hardening for the first hour. Polyester is still highly used to make surfboards, skimboards, and boats. It’s highly resistant to moisture, but way harder to work with because it sets up quickly, especially in hot/humid climates. You have to mix the catalyst according to the temperature. Also, gel coat is polyester resin with bondo in it. That’s what is on the hull of every boat, except wood bottom boats.
Pretty interesting! Thanks for the info!
Dude you rock! So many questions answered and I laughed and thats all one could ever ask for.
We're glad you enjoyed it, Tyler!! We aim to please!
I like your style! No nonsense but still fun and very informative. Great job great topic,
Super helpful video! Thanks!

Clear easy and simple to remember awsome mate thank you 👍👍👌
Thanks for watching!
very usefull! ..and enjoyable to watch thanks.
Thanks for the feedback!
That was exactly what I needed, thank you very much :)
So informative! Thank you!
I love this video, very informative. Unfortunately I had to slow my use of epoxy due to being allergic to it😢. I haven’t found anything comparable to do my tumblers or keychains with.
We're sorry to hear about the health problems - stay safe!
Best video seen in a looooooooong time!! thank you, + 1 subscriber
omg, you had me smirking throughout the whole video. very fun to watch, TYSM
