Been searching for a way to put some epoxy between two pieces of wood on a wall. And because of this vid i know i can make it work with the packing tape !! Thanks a lot for this video.
Very useful information
Thank you so interesting to watch
Thanks for watching!
great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the info!
You bet!
Good to know, Thank you!
You bet!
Thank u! I needed to create a bezel for my radio
Glad it helped!
Very informative, thank you!
Thanks for watching
Thank you
You're welcome
Thank you for this video. meant a lot.
Glad it was helpful
Great video. 😊 Thanks 👍🏽😲
Thanks!
Really great info…
Glad you think so!
Thank you!
You bet!
you should try the aluminum foil tape, the stuff used for HVAC duct-work!!!
Enjoyed the test and comparison. Having the resin release from molds is such a critical thing when making things with silicone. I belong to a group where we share information about epoxy projects and uses. One of the topics we discuss occasionally is mold release vs. no mold release and methods for ensuring epoxy doesn't stick to whatever we are using as a mold. This video is on point for that discussion.
I do want to ask - this video is 3 years old has anything occurred in your epoxy work that you would question your original conclusions or have something more to elaborate on?
Question... when you are using the tape for epoxy, it's usually the sticky part that is against the epoxy. It looks like, in your vid, that it's the outside of the tape that you are using for the experiment, instead of the sticky part.
Just depends on the application. If you're lining a form.. it'll be the not sticky part. If you're slapping it on the underside of a board over a knothole, it'll be sticky.
@@YouCanMakeThisToo Ahhhh, ok, I gotcha. Thanks =D
So it looks like just wax work well. Only issue is the seams. I wonder if the wax works over hot glue?
Probably, just make sure to add plenty
Thank you! Was trying to figure out how to reuse silicone coaster edge mold I made!
Glad I could help!
Thanks kid ,you help out a old carpenter guy that was wondering about a few things before i do my big river pour ,
Glad I could help!
Old video but its just what I needed! Good one.
Glad you found it!
Great demonstration, have you tried corflute?
Never used it
Not all heroes wear capes.
Thanks!
what do you use to keep epoxy from leaking under a bezel?
Form it up
What an awesome experiment I didn't have the patience to do myself. Thank you for doing it! I volunteer in a woodshop and we have folks (including myself) that use epoxy, so this is a total gem of a post. Thanks again.
Ah perfect, glad it was helpful!
Any thoughts on aluminum tape?
Should work fine
thank you for this it has helped me alot ...i love the texture some methods gave to
Thanks for watching!
im glad you have the same name as my high school woodshop teacher. both of you know what you’re talking about and are very creative.
What a coincidence, that's awesome!
Do you think I could just apply wax to plexiglass?
THat'd probably work.
Hello there I am wanting to make top covers for my bedside tables. Basically like a oversized placemat. I have made some frames the size I want out of pine I was thinking about cauking a silicone base to it to create my base and cauking it afterwards on the inside too to create a nice seam all around. But then before all that should I be covering the pine in something first ? Clingwrap parchment paper ? Before I go ahead and fix the basee silicone to the frame ? Hopefully I have explained this enough for you to possibly be able to advice. In a nutshell. I have created a pine frame out if sawn pine woof and screwed together. I was thinking maybe I should cover frame in clingwrap or parchment paper then using some caulking to stick my base to the frame and seal om the inside too. I have ordered a thick silicone mate the type we use to bake on so about 4mm size I require. So I was thinking should I be covering rhe pine in Clingwrap or parchment then affixing the base ak my silicone mat with caulking then sealing it inside to create nice seams . I just want to be able to demould with ease. This is my first major job and it's for my bedside tables so I would like nice clean results I just couldn't afford ti pay put £100 or more a custom mould for my job. Hopefully you understand what I am trying to do and maybe able to help . Thank you
All I can say is thank you!
Welcome!
duuude amaaaazing video. Great effort and love the follow through thanks so much, I'm going to make some next level because of this.
Do it man! Thanks for the feedback :)
at 1:20, is that an epoxy saw blade cover on the right?
Miss your project videos, so I thought I would watch some old ones.
Thanks for the in-depth testing, I bought some epoxy and will be trying a pour!
Good luck on the build 😁
Thanks! I'm actually about to start editing project, and I think I'm going back to more of the older style.. with voice over and less face talking.
Packing tape and cling wrap for the win
Heck yeah!
Did you add any wax or spray on the Clint wrap or wax paper?
I didnt
Thank you a very helpful video . best part you showed us how we can use what we already have and no special types of tapes etc needs to be used if you have silicone spray or wax. Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for this . i added this to my favs so i can refer back to it from time to time .
Wonderful!
Man this was great. I was looking forward to the blue one somewhat winning the race at the last pull... Oh please oh please....No' you stuck to the painters tape.🤣👍 Good information I don't have to go and buy more stuff. Gorilla tape it is...😎😁
Oh I just gotta find out what is a way to make the mold🙄
Clear packing tape works well too! Melamine is a solid mold material. I've also used marker board for a cheaper option, but it's not as thick
Does the sticky side of tape release from epoxy? I need to seal the back side of a seam I’m filling in the crook of a tree (cutting board).
Depends on the tape... often it will.
Thank you for doing this. It was very helpful 🙏
Cool thanks for your thoughtful testing!
Thanks!
I get glass cut to fit my molds. It's smooth, tape is too porus and gives me too.much.probles
That’s a solid approach
Very interesting! As a beginner this was good imfo.
Glad it was helpful!
I’m only a minute in but thanks for making this. I’ve been racking my brain trying to determine how to build a quality mold for a project I want to make.
Thanks for watching! Hope the rest of the video was helpful. There's lots of ways to go about it.
Such AWESOMENESS! Great info for a newbie who has yet to make a piece of bezel jewelry!! Thx so much for doing this for us!!! 💝💪🏾👏🏾🥳
I've spent more time and money on arts and crafts and time preparing. But I think I am close to doing something
This is great info. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I am pouring into a big crack in a parota table, the crack goes to the end of the table, should I tape the ends with packing tape?
Something.. for sure. In my experience tape doesn't onto the ends very well. I either screw a board (covered in tape) onto the end to make a wall and caulk it... or if the gap is small enough, fill the end of the crack with silicone caulk and then cut the end off once it's done.
Thank you for doing all the legwork on this!!
My pleasure!
this was very helpful for just getting into this, thank you so much for the information
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a ton I'm just getting into Epoxy and was wondering what tape alternatives I could potentially use and this helped a lot.
Glad I could help
Very nice experiment video Caleb
Thank you 🤗
THANKS for this!!! ♥ I was looking everywhere for a good tape test for resin :)
Glad I had it for you!
Thank you for this! Helped a lot!
Glad it helped!
Now I'm ready to use a plastic PVC sheet as the bottom of a mold. Do you have any experience with this? Will it stick to Pvc?
Great question.. I doubt it. Just do a small test first
Is gorilla tape 'gaffa' tape (uK)?
I don't know, I get the sense they're pretty similar though from what I've heard
Blue tape works great when the epoxy is on the adhesive side.
Yep, otherwise it soaks into the paper side and is not fun to remove.
Thanks for taking the time to test this for us! Great information!
My pleasure!
Exactly what I needed to know, thank you.
So glad!
Thank you for sharing this... It was so helpful ☺️
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent instructional video
Thank you!
This is so helpful! So pleased you did this!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. I'm just starting to use resin and my first mold is made but the pour is ahead of me. Looks like I'm adding packing tape and wax.
It can save a lot of tears later
So what is the winning tape I’m not gonna watch the whole thing?
If you're not skipping to the end, then I'm not going to do it and type it out for you
Great little tips video. Love getting tips and tricks hints from other woodworkes. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I think that was the most accurate use of the word DUDE since the 80s, damn dingle berries.
🤣🤣🤣 thanks man
This was top notch stuff my dude! Very thorough, very helpful for a newbie. Thanks!
Thanks!
Good to know info here. Thanks
Any time! Glad it was helpful.
Very educational. Thanks mate. 🇦🇺
Thank you so much! This is awesome information! Very cool and great resourceful information to help us with our epoxy work. Great video. Thank you for posting!
Glad you found it helpful!
Very cool experimenting - definitely going to keep this in mind for future projects!
Please do!
In terms of clarity what one kept the epoxy as glass like on top as what it set on? For example the resin molds keep the resin looking clear on all sides that touch the mold. What product seems to do the same here?
Best way to do that is a smooth surface mold that's just waxed or silicone spray.
This was interesting to watch! And kinda satisfying
Right?! Peeling epoxy is pretty satisfying :)
Some interesting findings. I've used blue tape quite a bit for gap filling with epoxy and I've not really had an issue.
That makes sense. The adhesive layer seemed like a block. So for gap filling the epoxy was probably against the sticky side, not the paper. Oh damn.. I think I’ve got another test to do.
Good to know you don't have to buy expensive tapes. Just a little wax/release and cheaper tape work great. Thanks for sharing. Until next time. *Chris*
Yep! And unless you have a bunch of scrap plywood that’s otherwise useless... it’s even cheaper to just buy marker board or hardboard and wax it. And not even worry about tape. For small stuff at least.
Dude, awesome video!! Thank you for helping me make my selection for my next epoxy pour🍻
Sure thing!
Thanks for the info! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
You bet!
Oh never mind you already did it, thanks
Any time!
this is a great video. im using mdf boards but i will also spray them down with release just as a precaution. it’s also great to know that you can just use packing tape which is one of the cheapest material in this video (depends where you get it).
Make sure you tape and coat that MDF, it's super porous and the epoxy is going to soak right in
Save watching the video through, what do you
Coat mdf with?
this video was exactly what I was wondering about today. I am going to to a English walnut river coffee table so I was wondering what I could cover my form with so my mom doesn't have to take me to home depot since I am only 14.
That's awesome man! Glad I published it today. And super kudos to you, best of luck on your river table! Feel free to message me if you have any questions, would love to see it when you're done.
Just found your channel exactly what I was looking for you got a new subscriber here buddy thanks for the video
Thanks, glad to hear it!
Lots of good info here!
Glad you think so!
Informative video. Thanks. Curious about if just waxing a cheap pine 2x4 from box store works for non stick. Have you done a video on what tape works best for sealing bottom of slabs from leaks and around like cookies with big cracks in them. I can't seem to get the tape to keep the epoxy from leaking out. subscribed.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
👍🏼
So can you release resin from resin?? great video I learned something today👍👍
You'd have to use wax or something in-between
Very cool!
Thanks!
YouCanMakeThisToo also, FIRST!!! Perks of working from home is I know right when they drop hehehe. Did the gorilla tape leave any texture on the epoxy?
I bet freezer paper would work. Acrylic paint peels right off.
Probably would!
Have you tried and experimented with transfer tape. I did a experiment with packing tape and it left the epoxy sticky on the bottom. I just recently did another experiment with transfer tape and because the transfer tape is similar to the adhesive on packing tape once the epoxy became in contact with the transfer tape and the epoxy cured it left marks on the bottom of the piece I did and the transfer tape started to crumble a little bit because the epoxy got hot.
I haven’t, that’s interesting
@@YouCanMakeThisToo this is the transfer tape I used, www.brilliantvinyl.com/Clear-Medium-Tack-Transfer-Tape-with-Release-Liner-and-Blue-Grid-Lines-12-x-150-Feet.html
Totally new to woodworking in general so I love your channel. I see used minwax finishing wax can car wax be used as well? I am asking because my husband has either meguiar's or turtle hardshell waxes in the garage.
I’d like to see how it comes off of the sticky side of the tape and also how shiny or dull the resin is.
Good question
So it seemed like, of the tapes, the Gorilla did about the best? But the packing tape did well enough on it's own to win in terms of value, since it's much cheaper than all of the tapes?
I wouldn’t say gorilla was the best, but it was the most surprising. I think what helped the gorilla release was the texture.. harder for a vapor lock. But that’ll also leave a texture. For me the take away was almost anything works if you wax it enough
Excellent review sir. I have an 8 foot 3D printed submarine model that is absorbing way to much water when submerged (even with a coat of fiberglass resin to stop water entry). Based on this video, I am going to use the 3D hull as a mold, and add 3 or 4 coats of fiberglass over it, before breaking out the 3D plastic. Due to the special lines on the sub, I will probably use the Glad Cling Wrap and Gorilla tape as my de bonding set up. Thanks for a great video.
Sounds like a good plan, glad this was helpful!
UPDATE: Good morning, used the Gorilla tape to cover a portion of my submarine hull, and covered it with 4 coats of cloth and Polyester resin. It worked GREAT. Thx again.
Thanks so much for the follow up! Really glad to hear it worked out great for you
Here is the final product.....facebook.com/Windsorsub/videos/4667492043262167
@@Windsorsub I think your post may be set to private or just for friends
Thanks for all the experimenting and sharing it. Was wondering if the wax can be used in a silicone mold to pop the epoxy out after it cures or would the silicone release spray be better for that?
Both work well
What about press and seal wrap? Thoughts? Edit: oh even better.....Teflon sheets/roll and there’s even a Teflon tape. I love Teflon and no that I’m into resin you bet I’m going to use it and I know it will work for sure!
Ohhh interesting! Please comment back after you give a shot!
I was about to do the same sort of testing, but to see which tape has the least meniscus effect at the edges. It is a lot of work sanding/filing off sharp edges due to the meniscus of epoxy against the dam, so if there is some tape where epoxy would "bead" and not stick at all, that would be ideal. Looks like Gorilla duct tape may be the one?
Your best bet to eliminate that is instead of tape, use marker board (smooth melamine coating) and put paste wax on it.
@@YouCanMakeThisToo How about making dams out of strips/blocks of parafin or beeswax? Anyone tried that?
Will beeswax work the same or should it be some kind of automotive wax? Sorry still new at this.
It’d probably work the same. Just do a small test first
Wonder if furniture polish would work
It might, they tend to have a big variety of stuff added though.
I was curious to know if the finishes clarity was altered from the releasing components
Not that I've noticed.
Great video, thanks! What you said about the Thickset was a little confusing. Were you saying that Thickset is more viscous than 2:1 or less viscous? I would think the one with "Thick" in the name would be thicker
Thickset is less viscous. The "thick" is because it can be used in a thicker (deeper) pour, not because the fluid is thicker.
Great content!!do you think i could use just plywood 40in×40in with the clear tape because in a different country with limited supplys?thank you got a new subscriber here:)
Yes, absolutely
Caleb, what spray and wax did you use on the gorilla tape? And does the tape have to be black? Can you just use the gorilla tape and wax? Would that work in your mold?
