Another solid tutorial. I am glad you made sure to emphasize that different types/manufacturers of resin will have different temperatures at which they maintain the separation. Thank you for adding the recommendation that a person should wait until they are nearing the end of the "open/working time" for their specific form of epoxy before pouring as a way to improve their chances of keeping color separation. 👍👍
Thank you Brad .. I’m glad you enjoyed it. 👍👍🦾
You’re so good at sharing quick resin tips with visual demonstrations! It’s always helpful for new and experienced users alike. 👏🏻💙
Thank you Jenny 💙💙💙
Was just talking about this with a pen caster/turner. Thanks for the show and tell.
Very welcome Doug. 👍
Good way to teach about color separation. .
Thank you Lelia.. ❤️❤️
Your videos inspired me to try my hand at casting my own blanks! Love how you explain! Love your videos.
Thank you Zack .. I’m happy to help out. 🤠
Great explanation on how to keep your colors separated!
Thank you Josh 👍👍
Great tutorial
Thank you Lorrie ❤️❤️
Thanks for the tip Jake. I couldn't figure out why my colors were bleeding together. I mixed 4 colors (the Dallas Cowboys colors), got them up to about 120 degrees and waited till they got nice and thick. Poured them into a pen mold and they came out great. Thanks again.
Very welcome Michael 🦾🦾
Nice little short video Jake !
Thanks Sneeks.. but it’s thicc 😂😂
Another very good turorial
Thank you Mr. Mint
Nice experiment demonstration!
Thank you Leah 💜🦾
Fantastic ! Huey sent me over .
I was looking for ways to have defined swirls in custom machiner putter head inlays .
This’ll do it !
Thanks for being so helpful
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed! I will tell Huey thank you also! 🦾🦾

You may already have a video covering this, I am trying to find something on using two mica colors in that I want a clear resin with light enough mica swirls that it isn't opaque and can refract light from an LED strip as well as the colors stay separated. Cyan and Purple or Red are the two colors I am wanting to use. I am thinking the best method for this may be pouring a thin layer of clear then adding colored resin in a random pattern, clear again, add color, clear repeat until I have my void filled. Do you think this would work well or should I just pour the whole void and then come in with a light mixture of the color and try to create my patterns?
Are you working with alumilite clear slow or an epoxy?
@@JakeThompson My apologies I didn't think of including that detail, epoxy resin.
This will be my first ever pour, I'm essentially making a river table (at around 3/4" thick) with mesquite slabs and then will square it up for boards to use building a computer case. I'll route a pocket in the spine where ends attach to house LEDs facing toward river sections.
@@dpgoverride Alumilite has a good swirling video on epoxy tables.. that might be a good place to look and see.
I was hoping you would have shown us the different pieces inside so I could see the internal swirling and what you mean by it combined together....didnt even see you pour the red ones...that would have been cool.
I have another video on alumilite clear slow.. I poured some on that one… you can see the swirling on some of my turning videos. I hope other than that .. you enjoyed the video
Awesome Tip 👍🏻
I see ya Connie 💜💜
@@JakeThompson 😅
Great information Jake. I didn't see how you were measuring temperature, is it using an infrared thermometer and how accurate does it need to be. I believe in some of your Saturday videos I have seen you and your daughter using an infrared thermometer but trying to validate.
I have seen others talking about temperatures. In this case you used 80° for your cold and 105° for your hot. Is 105° good break temperature and is it different for different brands of epoxy. Where would I locate the right temperature for a brand of epoxy.
Also is it different for the epoxy you are using for making turning blanks and table top epoxy or something I would be using to do waves type epoxy pours for charcuterie boards.
Have you worked much with the thinner types pours?
OK moving on to several other of your videos. Binge watching at this time
We are using infrared thermometers.. they work just fine… 105f is for Alumilite Clear Slow only… every resin will be different.. I have used epoxy such as Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast. It works fine but you are pushing the limits of thicknesses. And you need to pour that at 120f to help color separation..
So, in a "nutshell" the longer you wait , the higher the temperature gets and that leads to better color separation.
?
Yes, but If you wait much longer that what we did in this video, it will start to set up and the pressure pot will be unhelpful at that point.
So higher temperature makes it better.
For this resin.. the magic temp is about 105f for good color separation.. also for this resin.. at 105 you need to hurry and pour because you are just about out of working time
Hi Jake, maybe a stupid question, but would you be able to 'speed up the proces' with a heat gun to help boost the temperature up to about 100F-140F (which I saw you use in a different video on the colour separation topic). Any advice highly appreciated!
Diffent resins separate colors at different temperatures. This one is 105f and doesn’t take very long.. the temperature of your workspace makes a bog difference in how fast the resin heats up.
Where can I buy your molds? I don’t see a link anywhere…?
Here ya go.. I will put a link in the description too. www.northsidecustomcrafts.com/new-products
Hi butI cudnt understand completely.did u say that ones at higher temperature were messed up n those at lower( i guess 80 degrees)were better n separated??
Or is it vice versa🤔🤔m confused plz clear
105 f is the temp for Alumilite clear slow resin for good color separation… maybe rewatch the video.. it’s very clear
Is the temperature difference simply due to waiting a little longer for the heat to generate?
Yes sir.. the chemical reaction takes about 12 or so minutes to get to temp.. depending on the temperature of the room
How does separation and heat work when you're using liquid pigment dyes rather than powder?
It’s the same.. I’ve done it with micas and pigments.. it separates the same with this resin..
This is an awesome video thank you! Question: I’m doing extremely shallow pours (like 1/8-1/4” high) and using surface tension to create a dome effect on top of a playing card. I would like to mix colors together but whenever I use mica powder two things happen:
it tends to settle towards the edges and leaves the middle much less colored and even transparent
Also when I try to add swirls like you did here with other colors it all tends to become one blurry mess.
Can both of these issues be solved by just mixing it for longer until the heat reaches 105°?
It should also be noted I don’t have a pressure pot and am just doing in in a ventilated area.
Thank you!
The temperature in this example works for alumilite clear slow.. and it needs a pressure pot… you could use alumilite amazing clear cast and it will swirl also but it’s at 120f ..
I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I hope I helped you out.
@@JakeThompson I see. I assume the pressure pot is pretty essential to make sure the colors don’t run. Unfortunately I’m working with a cheaper resin as I can’t afford the alumilite (I’m using beast bond), is there something on the label I should look out for in order to see what temperature I need to mix to? And is this result even possible without the pressure pot?
@@JChang13 the pressure pot just keeps the bubbles at bay.. it has nothing to do with the colors… you can look at the working time if your epoxy and go to the end of the working time and check the temperature and then pour it.. just experiment with the temp until you get a good swirl
@@JakeThompson awesome. Thanks for the tip!
😃💪😃👍😃
Thank you Weeeeee
Quick is one thing, so fast you skip or speed past details us another. Watched this 5 times - still no clear take on results. Slow down or do your own video. Most concept blur is that your video didn't appear to match your speed track.
Here’s another video, and I have many others on my channel on this subject.. I hope this one is better for you.. the results are awesome czcams.com/video/aOpoClsAE9M/video.htmlsi=9bkSvM2djm9Al2Tr
Didn't mention where you can pick up one of those sweet molds, or the mold carriers! I hear the guy who makes em is pretty 'ight. 🦾🦾🦾
