Epoxy Resin Curing Hacks: How to Use a Food Dehydrator for Time-Saving Results!

- čas přidán 20. 10. 2023
- This week I’m experimenting and I think you’re going to find this one interesting if you’re a resin artist! A while back I did a product review for a fast-curing machine for resin and I got quite a few comments from my lovey viewers asking me if this is like a dehydrator for food, now, I’ve never used a dehydrator, didn’t even know what it looked like, but after receiving yet another comment like this, I looked into it. First, I looked online, then I searched some CZcams tutorials but couldn’t really find any specifically for this, so I decided I would test a dehydrator machine to see if it fast cures epoxy resin in just 2 hours. So, after a lot of research, I decided to buy this machine.
Now importantly, I have to add, that the machine I previously used worked perfectly, it 100 per cent always cured my resin projects in 2 hours, no problem there, but I need a larger version for taller molds, so I’m taking the time to film this experiment which hopefully you will find useful. Believe me, the ad revenue will only amount to 10 dollars if I’m lucky so I’m certainly not making any profit from the time spent filming and editing, but I do love creating content so here you go, conclusions at the end of the video…
FYI, I'm the video I tested it out for 2 hours, but with further use I worked out the ideal temperature for a fast cure without causing the resin to brittle, I now set a temperature of 60°C (140°F )for 1h30 minutes, that's works perfectly 🥰
Enjoy the experiment, and please leave a comment and like the video ❤

I use Resin curring machines offton and they been God. send then after watching your video I went straight on to Amazon & Ebay to look for 1. There was many chouse I chouse to go for a tall Hydrater for my higher moulds. I found what I wanted a Hydrater with 11 shelves I decided to Keep 2 shelves & the hanging rack so I could make treats for mine & family & friends pets. WOW WOW WOW it didn't just help I got 2 things in 1 Home made pet treats but also for my Resin work. I already had 2 other different Resin Machines very happy with them I now have 3 I found the Hydrate. worked well if not better than the Resin machines. I also bought some silikin Hydrater tray sheets which ide advice. my Moulds weren't hot when come out of Hydrater. So Thank You for this video
Fantastic, really happy I helped you out, that's what I'm here for 🩷😘
What a great experiment and the results are gorgeous!
Thanks Emily 💕
Excellent results! Good point the other machines, while still great, are not all that tall. Thank you for this! Both projects are beautiful.
Wow....thank you for doing this experiment. I have a food dehydrator and don't use it for anything right now ...actually for more then a year and a half it sits ...just sits....on my countertop lol. I think I will give it a go knowing full well that I won't be able to use it for food afterwards. TY Edna!
My pleasure, that's what I'm here for 😉 get it off your countertop and use it. it's so cool you had one at home. Let me know how it goes 😊
i'm heading to thrift stores to look for a dehydrator!! thanks for experimenting.
Have fun!
Thanks for the idea! I'm going to look for one...I was struggling with the same issue.
Wow, love it.❤😊
Thank you! 😊
I also wonder if it will work for deep cure resin as well. I will try it...after I get my time/temp accurate for my regular resin!
I have never used deep pour. They don't sell it in France!
yes it dos
Hello! I got one this this weekend and all goes wel, except the downside has bubbles… any idea how to fix that?
Hi, try waiting 15 minutes once you've poured to let the bubbles escape, then pop it in the dehydrator
Interesting but what is the point of dehydrating epoxy? Does it also work with other products like Jesmonite?
well, a dehydrator is just a low temp oven so it mimics the heat in the air that resin needs to cure . the hotter the air the faster it cures. this accelerates the curing process so you can unmold faster and reuse your molds. you dont need it for jesmonite since that cures in 30 minutes, and resin takes up to 48 hours.
What temperature makes resin work dry faster
I use up to 60°C, this works well for me.
You said you tried it out with a 2:1 ratio the next day...was that a deep pour and was it successful?
No, it was a low viscosity resin but not deep pour.
Hi what's in the bowl and how long did you leave the items in the dehydrator thanks
Water is in the bowl and as stated in the tutorial i waited 1 and a half hours
Maybe I missed this but what deyhdrator is this? Thanks
🙂 I think you must have, I did explain in the tutorial 😊
