Please could you whip up sillicone as much as you can to add as many bubbles as possible, make a cube mould with it, resin the cube and see how bubbly the outside of the cube is?
I think y’all should repurpose the reptile/ “resin” heating pads to be for Joob! Maybe adding it to the catio or making her a new little indoor hideout would be nice!
I have one for my senior cat. When she sleeps on it she jumps around chasing her toys like a kitten. When doesn't (because we don't sleep where human wants us to, out of principle) she climbs onto the sofa like a pregnant raccoon.
@@EvanAndKatelyn2 If you do, consider adding thermostat, the heat mat ones are cheap. You would probably not want to risk burning Joob or cause a fire 😅
If you do this definitely use a thermostat I wouldn't even trust these with reptiles without a thermostat though with this style you can safely but a thin but comfy bed on top
i mean, if i had a date with katelyn, id be happy to see her (NOT LIKETHAT). lolol tbh idk who im more jelly of. they both found the person they adore AND get to just have fun together for a living they truly hit the jackpot :')
I worked with resin for the first time this year - I had some repairs I needed to do on my snowboard and an epoxy resin glue was the recommended material. Thanks to you guys I knew I needed to ventilate the room I was working in, wear gloves, I knew what it means when the resin started to get warm... Thanks guys, cause the glue instructions didn't tell me ANY of that.
that's crazy that they didn't say anithyng about gloves and ventilation... drugstore hair dye has these precautions and it's roughly the same level of danger if not less
@@juliashirokova8374 yeah idk, I even opened the packaging up and looked for extra instructions and there were none. I'm in europe so we might have different rules around this, but... Idk. The danger is still there no matter what the law says, so i think they should write the precautions you need to take on the packaging.
Normally when mixing by hand, if you go fast, you are 'scooping' air in, with the 'screwdriver' you can hold it in the resin without introducing extra air into the mix
Part of the problem is actually the wooden popsicle stick. Wood is porous and releases air into the mix as you stir and the resin penetrates the stick. Plastic or silicone stir sticks are better because of that. Silicone wins due to ease of cleaning. 😁👍
When they held it near the surface pulling air down into it I knew it would have the most bubbles. At that point you're just whisking it and couldn't be adding more bubbles if you tried
Not just that, but a lot of additives add bubbles too, I kinda wish one of the test ones had been with powder pigment or glitter to see if it REALLY mixed.
What you saw as "bubbles" or pucker on the first two looks more like amine blush, which is resin not curing properly, either from not being mixed enough or not getting warm enough. On that note, the lizard/heat mats are great not for curing speed, but if you live in a cooler climate and your resin doesn't cure or gets amine blush (me in a cold Canadian basement). Especially for thin cures like bookmarks, my heat mat really prevents sticky patches or amine blush :)
I keep reptiles and can confirm most heat mats are basically the same, lots of us have used the seed germination heat mats as well. Cracked me up that you noticed that!
@Totally not an internet troll I'd strongly recommend a thermostat, or at least a rheostat. Stuff happens. Also, probably not safe - fire risk - to over-insulate electrical equipment, even that which gets hot. (It's not meant to get _that_ hot.)
Not only that, but the simple "reptile" temperature controllers they sell for $24 are the exact same circuit as a $2 lamp dimmer. The ones without a temperature probe, just a simple knob.
25:39 seeing Evan wanting to eat the blue test cube made me realize that you guys should totally try making Turkish delights! It’s resin-adjacent, tasty, and super interesting to watch!
I laughed so hard at your surprise when the stir stick made a difference in the "cement mixer." I bake a lot, and the beaters in the mixer are pretty important lol.
i know the goal is to avoid having bubbles, but i still think it could be neat to plan some projects where bubbles being in the resin is an intended feature. could be neat!
Yay I love that you guys tested all of these! and I think it's hilarious that some of these products are just repackaged for resin 😂 ngl I do have the resin heating mat though! I do have to say I have the screwdriver mixing thing on my wishlist. I have carpal tunnel pretty bad and anything to speed up or hands-free mixing would be a great benefit for me.
I have been using Total Boat for 2 years because of you guys lol. It never matters the dexterity of mixing speed that I use, EVER. It always always always leaves that "hair like" residue "bubble" (they are absolutely not bubbles) on smaller molds. I can mix slow and not as thorough with bigger molds and never have that string looking crap on top. Yet cheaper resin no matter how it is mixed, never does that? Interesting. Love your channel!!
I personally use an electric resin mixer that is similar to the blue one, but it has a smaller set of paddles and is great for someone like me with chronic pain, has made mixing resin so much easier and I have found that it allows me to be able to do more since I am not causing myself extra pain by mixing various volumes of resin at once.
I actually bought the "mad scientist" mixer for polishing dice after watching this! People usually recommend mini pottery wheels but they're way expensive and usually not that strong. I hope it works for that, the motor seems way stronger.
5:57 this is so wholesome. They have the only sponsored ads I actually watch because they are just absolute gems Also the ‘reptile’ mat reaching 128f goes to show how important thermostats are in reptile keeping to not burn your animal (and a good temp gun to make sure everything is working and at the right temperature) Edit: also when looking at Amazon reviews I never trust the star rating and instead immediately look at the worst reviews because I want to see the worst case/any individual defects that I might receive.
i feel like a second test with pigment in the resin for the mixers would’ve really shown if they were truly mixed thoroughly. love the vid you guys. i get so much joy from watching your videos. you even inspired me to make my own cat tree a few years ago!! still standing strong today!!
the video WAS more than i was hoping for! i was expecting a fairly unedited low effort video becasue this is the second channel but was pleasantly surprised to see katelyn really went all in with the editing.
I think Katelyn does still edit some videos, but most of them are done by an editing team now. Mostly former (or still current) gaming channel editors. But they've done a good job following Katelyn's original vibe so it's usually hard to tell who did which videos. Regardless this one was hilariously edited!
I absolutely love you two. I thought nobody could match the love and fun of me and my husband...and the curiosity / testing / proving & disproving....you give me faith in fun and science as a couple. Way to go. Please keep at this, I've been watching you for years and I want to watch you for more years!
I feel like depending on the time it needs in the pressure chamber the fastest most efficent method would be the screwdriver mixer -> pressure chamber -> heating pad, or cement mixer -> wait 30mins for bubbles -> heating pad
Evan, the tiny pocket used to be for you to securely attach your pocket watch to! Jeans are much older than we tend to think, and they haven’t changed, much as far as garments go
When I need a big output for resin casting (lots of molded items,fast) I mix my resin, add color and then microwave it for like 5-10 seconds (it heats up REALLY fast), then pour it. The heat promotes curing and it goes of, ready for demolding in about a quarter of the time plus the resin gets really thin and thus the bubbles rise to the surface faster and easier. Perfect for closed intricate molds with fine details. Some molds might need vibration or tapping right after filling to release bubbles clinging to the surface. So, try my hack and microwave your resin.
Secondary use for the cement mixer is put your nail polish bottles in it. Rolling your bottles instead of shaking makes less bubbles. You could also use it to coat things with other things for embeds maybe? Like if you got your plastic beans and wanted them to be iridescent or glitter coated, just spray those in a little bit of glue and toss them in there with the coating and whabam you have sparkly beans.
The resin mixer - keep blades submerged in resin. You still need to scrap sides unless you have the flexible blades. AND messy crafters, like myself, don't want resin drops on our nice drills
The re-packaging of items for craft-specific marketing is a tale as old as time. In the ceramics community we tend to make a lot of our own tools since a lot of them can be found in a kitchen or easily made (like you can buy a metal scraper from a ceramics shop or you can use an old credit card cut to whatever shape you prefer.)
I have a resin heating mat that came with a little tent to trap the heat and I hecking love that thing! I keep my apartment fairly cold, so I used to have to wait multiple days before I could de-mold things even 1/8" thick, but with the mat, I can cure 3/8" in 3-4 hours. Absolutely worth it. If I need to avoid bubbles, I'll let it sit for a while, but that thing is a game changer.
Dear Evan and Katelyn, I absolutely loved this video! Your creativity and humor always make for such an entertaining watch. Testing out these weird resin mixing tools from Amazon was such a fun idea, and I was genuinely surprised by how well some of them worked! The electric resin mixer was definitely my favorite, and it was so satisfying to see how quickly and evenly it mixed the resin. The other tools were also really helpful and made the resin mixing process much easier. Overall, I thought this was a great video that showcased some really interesting and useful products for anyone who works with resin. Thank you for always bringing such fun and engaging content to your channel. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Put the spatula from the drill in the holder on the turn table. Also. put that in before you pour the resin in. Or make sure it's as low as possible while mixing. pls.
man i love you guys so much, you never fail to put a huuge smile on my face, either through just being you (silly geese) or by the incredible editing !! thank you Evan and Katelyn ❤
it be really cool if they made a GIANT EK or Jube mold, and every time they have left over resin, they add a tiny bit to it. then in like 12 months when it's full of excess resin from projects you get a crazy mixed up thing of extra colors. or even like randomly put the hearts and squares used for testing. like and maybe they'll see this probably flawed idea lol
I don't know that much about resin but everyone knows you can literally pour it and torch it so that you instantly get rid of the bubbles , so at a small scale you can just buy a small torch lighter and in a split second torch the bubbles away so that it is not even an issue.
Man I love you guys😂 I’m so glad I found you guys, you both have brought so much joy and entertainment to my life and I’m so grateful! And it is also encouraging to see how you two love each other while also loving the same things! You guys are amazing!!
It's also worth considering regarding the curing mats that you appear to have the resin in silicon molds. Silicon is a fantastic insulator, to the point of being used as oven mitts. So that mat is having to completely heat the silicon before it starts to affect the resin.
Reminder to always use a thermostat with a heat mat especially with live animals! They can reach over 180F, scorch wood and start fires if they malfunction, stya safe!
You should try making damascus resin by letting it cure partially and twist them together, then cast them again in another color or clear to fill any gaps, then form into something.
I'm so grateful to you guys content, for reals, you lift me up everytime, you are fun, I love your content and the things that you say, the fun and creative ads, the new editing that you are always improving. Really. Thank you. And I was pleasantly surprise with the products on this video. I would test the heating mat waiting 30 minutes to see if anything changes with the bubbles, but just out of curiosity haha. Anyways, great video!
6:00 - Fun fact, those tiny pockets were actually used for pocket watches. The patch there is called a watch pocket and was created for jeans dating back to 1879!
If you want to talk about just repackaging a product. A while back I opened an American Beauty resistance soldering unit that sells for $400-$500. Inside were 2 parts - a $2.00 hardware store lamp dimmer and a $16 transformer (like 3V, 10A) and that was it. The lamp dimmer is wired to the 120v input on the transformer and the soldering tips come straight off the transformer secondary. Build your own for $20 and save $480.
The amount that fits inside the cement mixer looks to be about the right amount or almost the right amount to fill up a set of tabletop dice. I wonder if they made it that small amount with projects such as custom keys or dice in mind.
So I have the "cement mixer" and I like it very much as a person with chronic pain, my hand get so tired mixing resin the traditional way. With the cement mixer it helps to hold a popsicle stick or a silicone stick in it to help mix it and what I do when I need to mix more resin, I tilt it up by placing it on some wedges and use a bigger plastic cup that still has a narrow bottom. Hope this helps with your giant one or if you want to continue using lil boi.
I would say that the bubbles in the resin that was cured on the heat pads are likely water vapor from the moisture absorbed by the 2 parts of resin. Curing resin is an exothermic reaction meaning that it gives off heat, and because hot resin cures faster, you can have a runaway reaction. The excess resin that I sometimes have after repairing a surfboard has gotten so hot that it starts releasing visible steam and has even melted the container it was curing in.
I love your videos on both channels. The sound effects and visuals crack me up every time. Even the product placement commercials you make are just to funny.
I remember saving heating mat for resin about a year ago and it’s still in my Amazon list. This video helped me to understand whether it’s worth buying or not. Personally, it might not be worth it. I use 24-hour type (cheaper and less toxic), so heating mat won’t make much difference to me
OMG I love your shirt, Katelyn. I liked a shirt you wore in a candle making video about cats too. Those masks are cute too, but where do the black tubes go?
i think the weight of the stir rod for the cement mixer one is supposed to go outside of the cup? could be wrong but it does look the rod itself is the perfect length to reach the bottom of the cup while the weight rests/balances on the lip, and it would therefore stay in place while the mixer is going, rather than rolling with it. although tbf, it does seem to work just fine the way y'all did it
It's possible that the cup got knocked off more easily when it was empty bc there wasn't any weight on it. The downward force pushes the cup into more contact with the sticky plate, so it like, holds better, maybe?

QQA!
Can you make resin Lego and build something with it
Please could you whip up sillicone as much as you can to add as many bubbles as possible, make a cube mould with it, resin the cube and see how bubbly the outside of the cube is?
*GIVE JUUB THE LIZARD MAT!!*
You have the best adds ever….*me seriously thinking about buying everything you promote*
I foresee a giant resin cement mixer in the future of the main channel... Can't wait! 😂
would LOVE that honestly
Just attach a 5 gallon bucket to one of your pottery wheels, tilted 45 degrees
@@EvanAndKatelyn2 me too :D
i think if you use a different shaped bucket, with sides that tilt in then you can fill it with more resin without it spilling

I love your scientific method of testing these impulsive purchases. I’m impulsive like Evan but also roast products just like Katelyn
You guys should have a big weird mold that you pour in your extra resin. It could be collected and filled over time.
I have a large plastic beaker to dump excess resin in. Once it's full I cut it at a random angle and use it like Fordite.
I wonder if you poured in the center every time, if it'd gradually build up slightly more there faster and turn into an inverted funnel shape
i know the goal is to avoid having bubbles, but i still think it could be neat to plan some projects where bubbles being in the resin is an intended feature. could be neat!

It's also worth considering regarding the curing mats that you appear to have the resin in silicon molds. Silicon is a fantastic insulator, to the point of being used as oven mitts. So that mat is having to completely heat the silicon before it starts to affect the resin.
I follow a couple of dice makers who use the tilted mixer thing. They mostly use it to mix color.
No matter what, it's just great watching you two do stuff. ❤
Reminder to always use a thermostat with a heat mat especially with live animals! They can reach over 180F, scorch wood and start fires if they malfunction, stya safe!
add a drop of different food coloring to each part of the resin so you can more easily see when it's fully mixed on camera
Love the Rosanna Pansino product placement, can tell that's one of her lines of silicone moulds
You should try making damascus resin by letting it cure partially and twist them together, then cast them again in another color or clear to fill any gaps, then form into something.
I'm so grateful to you guys content, for reals, you lift me up everytime, you are fun, I love your content and the things that you say, the fun and creative ads, the new editing that you are always improving. Really. Thank you. And I was pleasantly surprise with the products on this video. I would test the heating mat waiting 30 minutes to see if anything changes with the bubbles, but just out of curiosity haha. Anyways, great video!
Tiny pocket on jeans are for a pocket watch.
You guys are so funny ‼️ Always saying the out loud part for us ‼️😻😻😻
Really want to see Evan build a big cement mixer for resin.
6:00 - Fun fact, those tiny pockets were actually used for pocket watches. The patch there is called a watch pocket and was created for jeans dating back to 1879!
If you want to talk about just repackaging a product. A while back I opened an American Beauty resistance soldering unit that sells for $400-$500. Inside were 2 parts - a $2.00 hardware store lamp dimmer and a $16 transformer (like 3V, 10A) and that was it. The lamp dimmer is wired to the 120v input on the transformer and the soldering tips come straight off the transformer secondary.
Build your own for $20 and save $480.
The amount that fits inside the cement mixer looks to be about the right amount or almost the right amount to fill up a set of tabletop dice. I wonder if they made it that small amount with projects such as custom keys or dice in mind.
I started following with the video of the cat wheel and now I like your videos so much I’m just waiting for them
You guys are funny and original
Ah yes the cat wheel video. That's how they get ya (me. They got me with that video too)
@@balentay I don’t know much UA-camrs that are such a good and funny team like these 2
5:35 Evan and Katelyn do be turning into _that type of channel_ slowly but surely xD
So I have the "cement mixer" and I like it very much as a person with chronic pain, my hand get so tired mixing resin the traditional way. With the cement mixer it helps to hold a popsicle stick or a silicone stick in it to help mix it and what I do when I need to mix more resin, I tilt it up by placing it on some wedges and use a bigger plastic cup that still has a narrow bottom. Hope this helps with your giant one or if you want to continue using lil boi.
I would say that the bubbles in the resin that was cured on the heat pads are likely water vapor from the moisture absorbed by the 2 parts of resin. Curing resin is an exothermic reaction meaning that it gives off heat, and because hot resin cures faster, you can have a runaway reaction. The excess resin that I sometimes have after repairing a surfboard has gotten so hot that it starts releasing visible steam and has even melted the container it was curing in.
I love your videos on both channels. The sound effects and visuals crack me up every time. Even the product placement commercials you make are just to funny.
yess! love the resin content!
you have to combine the first and second mixer!
4:15 - that orange "paddle" is also sold as a "poop knife"
Really like that lil cement mixer... Your casting is so clear, and without degassing. Gonna try this with some Smooth On 690...
those pixelated long objects look like something else, something on "that type of channel"
I remember saving heating mat for resin about a year ago and it’s still in my Amazon list. This video helped me to understand whether it’s worth buying or not. Personally, it might not be worth it. I use 24-hour type (cheaper and less toxic), so heating mat won’t make much difference to me
OMG I love your shirt, Katelyn. I liked a shirt you wore in a candle making video about cats too. Those masks are cute too, but where do the black tubes go?
Big cement mixer video incoming 😂 excited imagine 😂
i think the weight of the stir rod for the cement mixer one is supposed to go outside of the cup? could be wrong but it does look the rod itself is the perfect length to reach the bottom of the cup while the weight rests/balances on the lip, and it would therefore stay in place while the mixer is going, rather than rolling with it. although tbf, it does seem to work just fine the way y'all did it
It's possible that the cup got knocked off more easily when it was empty bc there wasn't any weight on it. The downward force pushes the cup into more contact with the sticky plate, so it like, holds better, maybe?
