Good idea. I have asked people about how they figure out the amount of resin they need to mix, I've gotten no good answer. So do you mix a little, a little more, etc? Thanks for sharing Roger.
Thanks for the participation Joseph. I have not tried this yet but I will on my next project. Fill you form with your piece in it with raw grains of rice. Then empty that rice into a measuring cup. Add 10% more. That should give you an idea about how much resin to use.
What a great video! I have been looking for a way to repair a pretty large tear out on a piece I was turning. Didn't want to throw it away, just needed a way to save it. This is just what I needed. Thanks for such a great tutorial.
I always cut up milk containers, but I do like the dollar tree idea better and I have one a few miles away. Nice video, less you more container would help. FYI, hot glue cools doesn't dry. Take care, Larry
Hi Roger, great video, I have been doing this method for some years now. What I use for the tacking process is UV Resin with a UV torch then go round the edges with hot glue. The UV resin may cost more the glue sticks but you get an instant bond.
Thanks for the video it was very much just what I was looking for. I was thinking of buying a roll of acetate because you can cut it to the length you need without needing to seam in others but am still looking to try find what thickness I need (resin heats when cures so I don't know if acetate will deform at all or what thickness works) have you ever tried using a roll of acetate? Tying into my other question about the heat of curing resin affecting the mold material, you don't find that hot glue melts at all from the curing resin heat ever? What was the purpose of sealing the edges of the bottom wood piece to the base with hot glue? Doesn't covering so much of the surface between the wood burl and the wood base just leaves less points of contact for the resin to bond the two? I'm pretty new to this so please forgive me if I am overlooking something. only the bare parts of the base is whats connecting the resin and top piece. Hope that makes sense. Thanks again for sharing your wisdom and experience! My questions are not meant as criticism but just the ponderings of a newbie wood turner :)
ua-cam.com/video/ACCSLpvVJ-Y/v-deo.htmlsi=k9lHfjtoC6EFMs8V Part 2 of video. I have never had any material melt because of the epoxy. Never used acetate. Hot glue is on outside of mold; never comes into contact with epoxy. As you can see from the 2nd video I cut most of the base wood off. It was just used to mount the burl to the lathe. The epoxy holds it quite well just on the bottom.
was going to be my question: What type and where do you get the plastic that you use to wrap around a piece of wood in order to pour resin and then turn? BUT....You nailed it! Thanks for the video. Exactly what I needed. Thanks !!

Use rice, pour it into your mold. Pour it out into a container. That's how much resin you will need. The Woodwhirler.
Turning while wearing a ring and watch. Nice.

Great technique! Well done!
Thanks a lot!
Nice job,👍 I used similar method to make mold yesterday, 😅😅
Thanks for watching and commenting. Since I made this video I have used this process 3 more times.
Very informative. Thx.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the share

Great video. I enjoy your videos..
Thank you David. I appreciate your participation.
Got it thanks pop
@ Bart Giles You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.

Plus the UV resin gives you more time to position your mood before you put the torch on it.
@Andy Hexter Thanks for the tip Andy. I will look at that option. Sounds interesting and useful.

@@rogerdalescott ahhh that makes sense! Thanks so much for taking time on an explanation for me! Cheers!
Did it work?
looks to be about 4" in diameter. I use schedule 20 pvc pipe. cheap stuff.
Thanks for the comment Dave. I appreciate you watching my video.

Hey Johnny Barnes thanks for watching.
@@rogerdalescott You are very welcome and thanks for making it! Great job!!!
one mistake get rid of the bark
get rid of the bark not good
