hey guys I’m Nate welcome back to the workshop not too long ago we made a
workshop not too long ago we made a
workshop not too long ago we made a video showing you how to make a copy of
video showing you how to make a copy of
video showing you how to make a copy of a vinyl record using a silicone mold and
a vinyl record using a silicone mold and
a vinyl record using a silicone mold and some resin I used two types of resin for
some resin I used two types of resin for
some resin I used two types of resin for that experiment the first of which I
that experiment the first of which I
that experiment the first of which I didn’t put in a vacuum chamber because I
didn’t put in a vacuum chamber because I
didn’t put in a vacuum chamber because I explained that it cured so quickly it
explained that it cured so quickly it
explained that it cured so quickly it wouldn’t have time to de gas off the
wouldn’t have time to de gas off the
wouldn’t have time to de gas off the bubbles well that made a lot of you
bubbles well that made a lot of you
bubbles well that made a lot of you curious I guess
curious I guess
curious I guess because several people commented saying
because several people commented saying
because several people commented saying that they wanted to see what happens if
that they wanted to see what happens if
that they wanted to see what happens if we put that resin in the vacuum chamber
we put that resin in the vacuum chamber
we put that resin in the vacuum chamber so that’s what we’re gonna try out today
so that’s what we’re gonna try out today
so that’s what we’re gonna try out today we’ve got my quick setting two-part
we’ve got my quick setting two-part
we’ve got my quick setting two-part resin we’ll pour it off into a cup mix
resin we’ll pour it off into a cup mix
resin we’ll pour it off into a cup mix it up and then we’ll put it in the
it up and then we’ll put it in the
it up and then we’ll put it in the vacuum chamber and see what happens if
vacuum chamber and see what happens if
vacuum chamber and see what happens if we let it cure while it’s in a vacuum we
we let it cure while it’s in a vacuum we
we let it cure while it’s in a vacuum we have our vacuum chamber and we have our
have our vacuum chamber and we have our
have our vacuum chamber and we have our resin so let’s get started I’ll be
resin so let’s get started I’ll be
resin so let’s get started I’ll be mixing up our residents and clear
mixing up our residents and clear
mixing up our residents and clear plastic cups with some popsicle sticks
plastic cups with some popsicle sticks
plastic cups with some popsicle sticks and I also have these paper plates which
and I also have these paper plates which
and I also have these paper plates which I’ve cut to fit inside our vacuum
I’ve cut to fit inside our vacuum
I’ve cut to fit inside our vacuum chamber these are gonna go down at the
chamber these are gonna go down at the
chamber these are gonna go down at the bottom of the vacuum chamber that’s just
bottom of the vacuum chamber that’s just
bottom of the vacuum chamber that’s just in case any of our resins fills up over
in case any of our resins fills up over
in case any of our resins fills up over the edges of the cup it won’t bond
the edges of the cup it won’t bond
the edges of the cup it won’t bond permanently to the glass of our vacuum
permanently to the glass of our vacuum
permanently to the glass of our vacuum chamber it’ll just be stuck to these
chamber it’ll just be stuck to these
chamber it’ll just be stuck to these disposable paper plates instead cups
disposable paper plates instead cups
disposable paper plates instead cups should balance nicely in the middle of
should balance nicely in the middle of
should balance nicely in the middle of that and hopefully if we do have any
that and hopefully if we do have any
that and hopefully if we do have any spillage it’ll land on the plate and not
spillage it’ll land on the plate and not
spillage it’ll land on the plate and not on the glass to start with for our equal
on the glass to start with for our equal
on the glass to start with for our equal amounts of each half of our resin now
amounts of each half of our resin now
amounts of each half of our resin now before I put these in a vacuum chamber
before I put these in a vacuum chamber
before I put these in a vacuum chamber just as an example so we can see what
just as an example so we can see what
just as an example so we can see what changes let’s just pour one half into
changes let’s just pour one half into
changes let’s just pour one half into the other mix it up and let it cure in
the other mix it up and let it cure in
the other mix it up and let it cure in the cups this is actually quite a lot of
the cups this is actually quite a lot of
the cups this is actually quite a lot of this resin to have in one cup it’s very
this resin to have in one cup it’s very
this resin to have in one cup it’s very thick at this point and it’s not usually
thick at this point and it’s not usually
thick at this point and it’s not usually designed to cast quite this thick we’re
designed to cast quite this thick we’re
designed to cast quite this thick we’re gonna see what happens anyway now that
gonna see what happens anyway now that
gonna see what happens anyway now that should just take a few minutes and then
should just take a few minutes and then
should just take a few minutes and then it’ll start to solidify it’ll get
it’ll start to solidify it’ll get
it’ll start to solidify it’ll get gelatinous and then turn hard feeling on
gelatinous and then turn hard feeling on
gelatinous and then turn hard feeling on the sides it will also usually warm up
the sides it will also usually warm up
the sides it will also usually warm up as it catalyzes they’ll be able to tell
as it catalyzes they’ll be able to tell
as it catalyzes they’ll be able to tell when the process is starting is the

whole cup and start to get toast looking down into it there are a lot of
looking down into it there are a lot of
looking down into it there are a lot of tiny little bubbles so the vacuum

it’s completely solid just a hard
it’s completely solid just a hard plastic resin now we know what it looks
plastic resin now we know what it looks
plastic resin now we know what it looks like if we don’t put it in a vacuum
like if we don’t put it in a vacuum
like if we don’t put it in a vacuum chamber let’s try it in the vacuum I’m
chamber let’s try it in the vacuum I’m
chamber let’s try it in the vacuum I’m gonna have to move fairly quickly so
gonna have to move fairly quickly so
gonna have to move fairly quickly so we’ll pour 1/2 of the resin into the
we’ll pour 1/2 of the resin into the
we’ll pour 1/2 of the resin into the other stir it up and then put it into
other stir it up and then put it into
other stir it up and then put it into the vacuum chamber throw the lid on and
the vacuum chamber throw the lid on and
the vacuum chamber throw the lid on and get pulling a vacuum as quickly as
get pulling a vacuum as quickly as
get pulling a vacuum as quickly as possible
possible
possible here goes oh there we go we’ve got like
here goes oh there we go we’ve got like
here goes oh there we go we’ve got like a foam forming on the surface now most
a foam forming on the surface now most
a foam forming on the surface now most of the bubbles have broken at this point
of the bubbles have broken at this point
of the bubbles have broken at this point so we’re looking like we just have a
so we’re looking like we just have a
so we’re looking like we just have a resin that’s mostly degassed
resin that’s mostly degassed
resin that’s mostly degassed it is still bubbling a lot so it’s not
it is still bubbling a lot so it’s not
it is still bubbling a lot so it’s not degassed yet it’s kind of a race will it
degassed yet it’s kind of a race will it
degassed yet it’s kind of a race will it solidify first or will the gas all get
solidify first or will the gas all get
solidify first or will the gas all get pulled out of it first there are still
pulled out of it first there are still
pulled out of it first there are still some bubbles coming out but the bubbles
some bubbles coming out but the bubbles
some bubbles coming out but the bubbles on the surface don’t really look like
on the surface don’t really look like
on the surface don’t really look like they’re moving and popping very much so
they’re moving and popping very much so
they’re moving and popping very much so I think our resin has probably started
I think our resin has probably started
I think our resin has probably started to cure already I think that’s it
to cure already I think that’s it
to cure already I think that’s it I think our resin is no longer liquid
I think our resin is no longer liquid
I think our resin is no longer liquid [Music]
couple little bubbles on the surface
couple little bubbles on the surface looked like they popped but for the most
looked like they popped but for the most
looked like they popped but for the most part that foam just sort of stayed in
part that foam just sort of stayed in
part that foam just sort of stayed in place where it was look at this is nice
place where it was look at this is nice
place where it was look at this is nice and warm I’d say it’s definitely started
and warm I’d say it’s definitely started
and warm I’d say it’s definitely started to cure down here in our cup we have
to cure down here in our cup we have
to cure down here in our cup we have this gelatinous bubble foam on top you
this gelatinous bubble foam on top you
this gelatinous bubble foam on top you can see it’s cured these bubbles don’t
can see it’s cured these bubbles don’t
can see it’s cured these bubbles don’t pop but they are a little bit squishy I
pop but they are a little bit squishy I
pop but they are a little bit squishy I [Music]
[Music]
[Music] hope that demonstrates pretty well why I
hope that demonstrates pretty well why I
hope that demonstrates pretty well why I didn’t try to degassed
didn’t try to degassed
didn’t try to degassed this type of resin before I used it to
this type of resin before I used it to
this type of resin before I used it to cast a record by the time it’s pulled
cast a record by the time it’s pulled
cast a record by the time it’s pulled all of the air out the resin has already
all of the air out the resin has already
all of the air out the resin has already set and you can’t pour it into the mold
set and you can’t pour it into the mold
set and you can’t pour it into the mold anymore there is a variation on this
anymore there is a variation on this
anymore there is a variation on this experiment that I want to try a while
experiment that I want to try a while
experiment that I want to try a while back I was playing around with what
back I was playing around with what
back I was playing around with what different chemicals you could mix it
different chemicals you could mix it
different chemicals you could mix it together because that’s my hobby and I
together because that’s my hobby and I
together because that’s my hobby and I tried mixing some of this resin with a
tried mixing some of this resin with a
tried mixing some of this resin with a little bit of clear Elmer’s glue and the
little bit of clear Elmer’s glue and the
little bit of clear Elmer’s glue and the result I got was pretty surprising
result I got was pretty surprising
result I got was pretty surprising [Music]
now as a comparison remember this is
now as a comparison remember this is what happens with the normal resin when
what happens with the normal resin when
what happens with the normal resin when there is no glue added to it let’s watch
hasn’t cured completely yet but it is
hasn’t cured completely yet but it is getting there it’s not liquid it doesn’t
getting there it’s not liquid it doesn’t
getting there it’s not liquid it doesn’t fall out of the cup pretty close so
fall out of the cup pretty close so
fall out of the cup pretty close so let’s try mixing up our same combination
let’s try mixing up our same combination
let’s try mixing up our same combination of resin with glue in it and see what
of resin with glue in it and see what
of resin with glue in it and see what happens if we have this reaction in a
happens if we have this reaction in a
happens if we have this reaction in a vacuum
vacuum
vacuum [Music]
oh we have a fast expansion now maybe
oh we have a fast expansion now maybe too fast to the lack of pressure is just
too fast to the lack of pressure is just
too fast to the lack of pressure is just making it all destabilizing bubble
making it all destabilizing bubble
making it all destabilizing bubble [Music]
there goes up and out this is why we
there goes up and out this is why we have the plate
[Music]
[Music] just kind of a bubbling foam red all
just kind of a bubbling foam red all
just kind of a bubbling foam red all over
over
over [Music]
[Music]
[Music] the bubbling does seem to be slowing
the bubbling does seem to be slowing
the bubbling does seem to be slowing down I don’t know if that means the
down I don’t know if that means the
down I don’t know if that means the reaction is slowing down or if it means
reaction is slowing down or if it means
reaction is slowing down or if it means that the reaction is getting near the
that the reaction is getting near the
that the reaction is getting near the end and all of the bubbles are actually
end and all of the bubbles are actually
end and all of the bubbles are actually starting to harden in place
starting to harden in place
starting to harden in place [Music]
[Music]
[Music] there we go I think at this point our
there we go I think at this point our
there we go I think at this point our resin has probably cured most of the way
resin has probably cured most of the way
resin has probably cured most of the way so let’s add pressure back in and see
so let’s add pressure back in and see
so let’s add pressure back in and see what happens to those bubbles that have
what happens to those bubbles that have
what happens to those bubbles that have already formed not a lot of change there
already formed not a lot of change there
already formed not a lot of change there we go it’s still somewhat soft but it’s
we go it’s still somewhat soft but it’s
we go it’s still somewhat soft but it’s just all made up of bubbles is just like
just all made up of bubbles is just like
just all made up of bubbles is just like a gelatinous phone almost at this point
a gelatinous phone almost at this point
a gelatinous phone almost at this point I don’t know if I’ll be able to get out
I don’t know if I’ll be able to get out
I don’t know if I’ll be able to get out from under the bubbles in this one so on
from under the bubbles in this one so on
from under the bubbles in this one so on [Music]
there we go
there we go barely any resin stayed in our cup
barely any resin stayed in our cup
barely any resin stayed in our cup almost all of it bubbled out it spilled
almost all of it bubbled out it spilled
almost all of it bubbled out it spilled out all over onto our plate to make me
out all over onto our plate to make me
out all over onto our plate to make me very glad that I thought to put a plate
very glad that I thought to put a plate
very glad that I thought to put a plate in there other than that yeah we just
in there other than that yeah we just
in there other than that yeah we just have this sort of plastic feed sort of
have this sort of plastic feed sort of
have this sort of plastic feed sort of squishy foam going on interesting stuff
squishy foam going on interesting stuff
squishy foam going on interesting stuff glad we didn’t try making your record
glad we didn’t try making your record
glad we didn’t try making your record out of this I don’t think you would have
out of this I don’t think you would have
out of this I don’t think you would have played no ball so if it’s obviously
played no ball so if it’s obviously
played no ball so if it’s obviously sticking to the plate quite a bit and I
sticking to the plate quite a bit and I
sticking to the plate quite a bit and I can’t get it off but I can peel off sort
can’t get it off but I can peel off sort
can’t get it off but I can peel off sort of the top layer that’s one heck of a
of the top layer that’s one heck of a
of the top layer that’s one heck of a texture it’s just made of bubbles really
texture it’s just made of bubbles really
texture it’s just made of bubbles really collapsed bubbles most of them popped as
collapsed bubbles most of them popped as
collapsed bubbles most of them popped as soon as we added pressure back in there
soon as we added pressure back in there
soon as we added pressure back in there we have it a whole bunch of varieties of
we have it a whole bunch of varieties of
we have it a whole bunch of varieties of what happens with this resin if we put

standard unvaccinated we have the same resin put into a vacuum
we have the same resin put into a vacuum
we have the same resin put into a vacuum chamber and we got some good bubbling
chamber and we got some good bubbling
chamber and we got some good bubbling action on the top it’s solidified with
action on the top it’s solidified with
action on the top it’s solidified with all sorts of gaps and polls in it
all sorts of gaps and polls in it
all sorts of gaps and polls in it showing why we didn’t try to vacuum it
showing why we didn’t try to vacuum it
showing why we didn’t try to vacuum it before we cast our record with it we
before we cast our record with it we
before we cast our record with it we then have the resin mixed with a little
then have the resin mixed with a little
then have the resin mixed with a little bit of clear Elmer’s glue which makes it
bit of clear Elmer’s glue which makes it
bit of clear Elmer’s glue which makes it foam up and bubbling bizarrely
foam up and bubbling bizarrely
foam up and bubbling bizarrely so we get this very lightweight
so we get this very lightweight
so we get this very lightweight low-density resin and then when we take
low-density resin and then when we take
low-density resin and then when we take that same combination we put that in the
that same combination we put that in the
that same combination we put that in the vacuum chamber it actually bubbles so
vacuum chamber it actually bubbles so
vacuum chamber it actually bubbles so aggressively that it just comes right up
