Ah, the glorious moment, when you injected the epoxy into the airbubbles! So satisfying. Yeah, uncured epoxy is a bitch to deal with. Been there, thrown away that 😆. Cudos for coming up with ways to fix the problem and not giving up 👍
I really appreciate craftsman who not only process but how things can go wrong. I love you showing the creative fixes to the problem. That is a great table...
I worked with polyester resin for many many years and yes that's what happened when you don't mix well you'll have spots like that! Good job beautiful table it's worth fixing!👍
Yep, I spotted that clover - it blends in pretty nicely to the green boards. Great job on this project overall and the fix/explanations. I love this idea!
What an achievement and to inject the epoxy and to see the air bubbles disappear was a great idea. Kudos for having the patience to fix the problems and your family has a great heirloom to pass down to future generations with a great story to tell. I'm so pleased it worked out well for you.
GREAT EFFORT, Your solutions were FANTASTIC!!. Fixing the problems was better than just poring Epoxy. I've sen YT Vids where they pour 10s of liters (gallons) in a single pour. It's probably top of the shelf Epoxy plus using a vacuum chamber, but you can only deal with what you can afford. But I was impressed with your solutions.
Almost 100k Well deserved subscribers. Love to learn and am happy to learn from mine and others their mistakes. There are way too many videos where everything goes without any issues. That's not the real world (or at least: my world). I have a resin table on my to-do list and will use everything you learned. Thans for sharing. Very inspiring!
Great stuff, very difficult to ignore the bad bits, injecting was a amazing 😵 Like the tip about remixing in another container. Your take on the comments lol 😂 very funny. Overall, you must have earned a "Patience" badge for that. The table is a family story now!
Hallo Onrust, erst ein mal danke für das Teilen Deiner Erfahrung mit uns ;-) tolle Idee mit dem deinem Tisch und den Leiterplatten, werde mir auch ein solches Projekt machen als Elektroniker ;-) ... Du hast enorme Ausdauer, gute Arbeit und Leidenschaft gezeigt, dafür verdienst Du meinen ganzen Respekt für deine Arbeit und mach weiter so ... nochmals herzlichen Dank und schöne Ostern 2021
Looks like the easter egg worked for you 😁 Seriously, top marks for not giving up! You deserve acknowledgement as much for that as you do for coming up with the concept in the first place! If it had been my table, I would have had to find out if burning epoxy would also be dangerous because it would have gone on a bonfire 😂
Hey; very nice project. Glitches are the history of your learning curve ! Don't be ashamed of it, one day you'll be proud :) Thanks to you, now i know what my future workbench will look like ! Never worked with epoxy yet, but many videos including yours make me want to step in it. About the easter egg, i haven't seen your other videos, except the previous with that table, but i noticed a four-leaf-clover on a chip and wondered what it was doing here, maybe it's it ? Have fun man, i love your work and your process. Oh and i laught sooo hard with the boots and with the OSs running on your table !!
Did you get the impression that I was ashamed in any way? 😊 Glad to be able to give you some inspiration. You're right about the easter egg. I put something different in all my projects and let visiting kids look for them. Thank you!
Great video 👍 I used to do this for a job & yup you have to get the ratio of hardener / resin exactly right, as well as mix it thoroughly, pouring between two containers multiple times. On cold days we would use a butane torch and pour from one container to the other while just lapping the flame on the resin to warm it up. Never bothered sanding between coats. left to set overnight & re coated nxt day. Takes lots of practice to get good at it. 😎 Oh & always used a good size butane torch to pop the bubbles on or near the surface.
Thanks for the follow up, learned allot, plan to do this one day with bottle caps or maybe try to make a computer chip table. Nice work, very informative
started watching you create & fix your bus project , then ended up watching you finish this epoxy table project , Onrust!# great video bro , you're so creative & such a perfectionist! ;-) , im so lazy i would've not even bothered & just left it lol
Well, all your patience and tenacity paid off 👍👏. I understand you are not 100% satisfied with the final result but is it that noticeable? Would anyone else think it stands out ? Through all the problems with sticky epoxy, you came up with some ingenious solutions, some of which could be very useful in my art pieces either for repairs ( not many I hope ) or as features....the injection of epoxy into gaps/bubbles could be interesting. I have enjoyed and learnt from these videos for which, I thank you. Oh yes, I saw the Easter egg, must go back in your videos to find the origin of that 😂. Right ! Now to find out about your RV transformation. Ta ta, talk laters xx
Thank you Chris, for all your patience, watching all that videos! 😊 When I get visitors, the table always impresses people - it is still in my workshop. At first glance it are the circuit boards in resin, they see. But I see the imperfections - you'd have to take a close look, yes. Still... not as I would have liked. People often ask me 'will you sell', but I never made an effort, for two reasons. 1. It isn't perfect and 2. it still is dear to me... Weird, hm?
I watched the 4,7 Million Views Video, and then i wanted to know if you fixed it already. So i watched this Video and i am surpised that this Video dont have so much Views, it really deserve it. Thumbs Up!
I once saw someone who made a small table project as a wedding gift by putting two electrodes on a table and etched a lightning-like pattern into the wood (going through many pieces of 2-3 foot long wood before they got it just right!), then put a light coating of glow-in-the-dark paint over the lightning pattern, and then put epoxy over it to cover the etched out part. This was so that the lightning-like pattern burnt into the wood would look cool in normal light and glow in the dark like a pale lightning bolt in the dark. It was pretty neat effect. Edit: looks like they used Lichtenberg wood burning
I enjoyed watching, this was informative while also entertaining. As for your easter egg, I wondered why that was there as I was watching :) Will be watching more of your videos now (after I watch some Tom and Jerry, the music reminded me of them).
Obviously, too late for you here, but I'd like to recommend looking up info from model railroad sources on pouring epoxy, as modelers have been using that and other products to simulate water on model train layouts. One of the keys is mixing it THOROUGHLY. All of it MUST be mixed with the hardener. Another key, pour in layers and work out bubbles with a stick, eliminating them before cure. And if there are any unmixed areas, they can be removed before the next pour. You will also find tips on enhancing the look of a pour, if you wanted to have a look other than clear, in the modeling world, in which there's decades of experience in this. Waterfalls, color, the list of effects go on and on. I've used it to make castings, and had those turn out with a sticky surface, so I sympathize. Too bad it didn't turn out, as it's a wonderful concept, very unique.
Ik heb heel wat epoxy gegoten in een grijs verleden. Doorgaans voor antenne aansluitingen die ik beslist waterdicht wilde hebben. Het mixen was inderdaad key voor goed effect. Te weinig harder, en het spul was weken later nog taai ipv hard. Wel leuk om te zien hoe je het hebt opgelost. Ik zou geprobeerd hebben om de niet goed uitgehardde delen uit te spoelen met aceton. De enige epoxy (dat heette toen nog giethars-op-epoxy-basis) die ik kon krijgen vergeelde na een paar jaar, maar dat was voor mijn toepassingen geen probleem.
When I do a large pour I connect a small motor (salvage from hand mixer) cut all except one fan blade. Before anything gets a chance to dry and trap a bubble i run the motor to vibrate the project. It works for me.
Thank you. Much of the answers are in here: sites.google.com/site/bigbuszz/faq---english and I made a video special about cost, that's here: ua-cam.com/video/7djK1DJprD8/v-deo.html
I think the epoxy had those ugly spots you mentioned is due to the reason that epoxy's cohesive forces are more than its adhesive forces which means that particles of epoxy stick to themselves more easily than to stick with any other material. Thus, such materials always try to keep away from edges when poured or stored.
At 7:15 I think I would have used a northbridge heatsink or maybe some memory modules from a laptop just to help cover the bad epoxy... turned out good though... nice idea on injecting the epoxy! And yes I seen the easter egg :)
Superb video, fun to watch but I must say when watched it all the way through, I didn't notice the background music at ALL, it's only when I read some of the comments below did I realise there had been background music so I watched it again and this time I heard the music but I guess I'm not a classical music type of person - give me ROCK music any day but I'm not sure it would have worked with this video.
Exactly - it doesn't always work. Once I made one with rock too: ua-cam.com/video/pcPUwYUAjbg/v-deo.html or even better, the original with the music of Joon Wolfsberg: ua-cam.com/video/cEuckIwM3NY/v-deo.html
An other thing to think about. Is to check the layer before you pour the next layer :-) then you would have had a little easier time fixing it. I love how the table came out.
I notice with the 1st video the main big pour bucket was mostly poured in the middle where the additional mixes were poured on the sides, these are the ones that were not mixed correctly...
is there a guaranteed way to create those horizontal bubbles? im wondering what it would be like to have a whole network of such bubbles, then inject different coloured epoxy into them.
Very VERY creative idea. I wouldn't know about a controlled way to create them, going to think about it. Maybe you could create them by injecting air while the epoxy is curing..? Timing would be key. Certainly something worth investigating. As I said; creative thinking! 👍👍
@@Onrust1 i think i figured it out. do a pour, wait until its starting to thicken enough no to flow too much. mix up a second batch and pour the new batch into a second mould, use a 'wet' brush to make the first now gooey pour slightly uneven without it sticking, then flip that into the new pour upside down. the uneven surface will trap air between it and the fresh pour. but yea... timing would be a real pain.
Another option: pour a thin sheet of epoxy in a mold, and let it harden completely. Then take it out, and pour another layer in the mold, and put the first sheet on top. If you are able to apply the first sheet quite level on the fresh pour, there must remain some air in between. If not you can beforehand drill in the bottom of the mold some syringe needles, and if the sheet is on top of the fresh epoxy, inject air through them. I find this so exciting that I might even try this out once..! Thanks!
I found the organic cut of the bad spots very nice! in my opinion it would have been best to go "this mistakes happened for a reason!" and poor some fully tinted (eg: black) epoxy in the side gaps, that would have certainly hide most of the bad spots, and give a total twist to your initial project, that, well... you could have try to redo better, since you don't do twice the same :) Do you have a tips for cheap and good epoxy in the Netherlands? for both thick and thin projects? Dankje!
You're not the first with the suggestion of pouring a colored epoxy in the bad spots. Although it is not my way of doing things, I find the idea intriguing. The way it is now, is OK for me too. Although I could repeat the epoxy-injection again, because the table seams to be not finished creating bad spots in itself. Maybe I'll take that on sometime. I buy all the epoxy with Mr Boat (link in description - giethars), just because I know what I get with that. You can pour about 5 cm at once, so I'm not sure what you mean by thick or thin... Thank YOU for your comment!
Maybe a vacuum pump to remove air from the resin before pouring might have prevented everything from the start. An expensive option, but might have prevented costly mistakes? Just another thought :D
the sad thing is with a project that goes south like this is even once it's in a form you're happy with, just looking at it still stresses you out, just ask me about my car's clear coat....
No. Because that would not explain why the epoxy not got cured. If you would be right, two layers of well cured epoxy would be loose from each other. Right? But that is not the case...
If I had the right material(and energy, skills and ingenuity) I would have used something opaque, because those were some nice contours you cut out. Maybe a metal frame with the inside cut to match the contours, though that would disturb the eveness of the surface. Maybe try to match the wood texture with inlays, then just sand it down, but boy that would have to be a project. Sorry, I'm rambling.
Ah, the glorious moment, when you injected the epoxy into the airbubbles! So satisfying.
Yeah, uncured epoxy is a bitch to deal with. Been there, thrown away that 😆.
Cudos for coming up with ways to fix the problem and not giving up 👍
How did he get to say bitch
The classic music with the epoxy dance is so beautiful..
Absolute dedication... so pleased you got there in the end... this would make a great board room table for a tech company
I really appreciate craftsman who not only process but how things can go wrong. I love you showing the creative fixes to the problem. That is a great table...
I worked with polyester resin for many many years and yes that's what happened when you don't mix well you'll have spots like that! Good job beautiful table it's worth fixing!👍
A beautiful work of art. Thank you for explaining WHY you chose resin vs under glass, and the video has a wonderful musical score as well :0)

That injection was pure ASMR to me. I got chills watching that.
this table's journey was so fascinating to me. thanks for posting!
Ron, your mastery of so many skills and your artistry are amazing; your sense of humor are so enjoyable. Keep up the wonderful work!!

Thus, such materials always try to keep away from edges when poured or stored.
Just tell people that the blurry spots are from radio waves from the boards they will find this fascinating. Every project needs a story.
Some experts say, you can warm up the mixture before pouring so the solution mix well ! :)
Is it me, or when the OS run, Linux was more stable even though it was on the windows hyperV?
It gave me few ideas... hehe. Ty! Nice project btw.

Erg mooi geworden. Had gehoopt V2 met LED te zien.
V2? Wat is dat?
@@Onrust1 De verbeterde versie ervan. ;-)
Maybe a vacuum pump to remove air from the resin before pouring might have prevented everything from the start. An expensive option, but might have prevented costly mistakes? Just another thought :D
I don't think so. Removing air upfront saves in removing bubbles afterwards. It doesn't help if you haven't mixed well enough...
the sad thing is with a project that goes south like this is even once it's in a form you're happy with, just looking at it still stresses you out, just ask me about my car's clear coat....
Sehr schön, sieht doch gut aus jetzt 😁👍
Dan nog het is geweldig bedacht. Ziet er weer stukken beter uit zou zelf ook wel zoon tafel willen.

Interesting your project.
I congratulate you. You invested many hours.
sorry for those failures.
By the way if I saw your easter egg.
Adorei você!!
10:48 Oh thats just poetry.
How did you remove bubbles after injecting resin
It's perfection in ✋
Omg the boots 😂😂 But why was it a four leaf clover in the circuits? 🍀 Ooooh, that's the easter egg 🙊
You've found it... 😁
@@Onrust1 Woho! 🎉
Good video!
Is the issue not that the cured layer needs to be sanded before a new layer can be poured over it so that it has something to adhere to?
No. Because that would not explain why the epoxy not got cured. If you would be right, two layers of well cured epoxy would be loose from each other. Right? But that is not the case...
@@Onrust1 oh, gotcha, I didn't catch that the epoxy was still gummy. I guess that was the part where it was getting scraped out. my bad!
no podias haber hecho perforaciones con una broca y quitar el epoxi en mal estado con disolvente? metiendo el disolvente con una pistola de pintar
If I had the right material(and energy, skills and ingenuity) I would have used something opaque, because those were some nice contours you cut out.
Maybe a metal frame with the inside cut to match the contours, though that would disturb the eveness of the surface.
Maybe try to match the wood texture with inlays, then just sand it down, but boy that would have to be a project.
Sorry, I'm rambling.
