      Hey so just a suggestion, instead of trying to repair the bubbles, why no go and make coloured epoxy and fill it with that? It may look cool! However, if you don’t want bubbles I’d say a vacuum chamber and very slow setting resin would help and also be sure to pour the resin on the side so the bubbles have less distance to get to the top!

      Restoration implies a return to the original form. That is the whole point. He simply removed the original irregularities, which showed how the metal was cast and ground the surface completely senseless. This weapon NEVER looked like this. The shape of the hilt and gilding are completely off topic. HERE EVERYTHING IS NOT AS MUST BE. This exhibit is lost for the museum.

Dude your a restoratitor, restore it to a halberd. If anything you should of made a less flashy woodend pole and it would look a million times better not this epoxy gold leaf disrespect. This is why i watch other restoritors. If you want a TRUE weapon restpration i reconnend "Restoration And Metal" who actually care about restoring the weapon not ruining it.

    I may be wrong, but think viewers who don;t restore things themselves sometimes miss a very big point when watching videos. Restoring is a LOT of fun to those who get into it. Its more about the journey and how to make the individual bits the best they can be, plus the journey of how to get that done. What I enjoyed about this video the most was the techniques employed. I learn a lot from these videos (as I think we all do). As to the final product, it definitely does not have a "classic" look to it, but it would be very fun to have done this project. And you sure get a good cucumber slicer out of it!

  • @sheasmith7141
    @sheasmith7141 Před 4 lety +12

    If you pour in layers instead of all at once you can avoid air bubbles. You can also use your heat gun to heat the side of your mold and pop the bubbles as they rise to the top. Sometimes, depending on the brand, pouring large amounts of resin creates to much heat in a small mold and it creates bubbles. If I make a really large item I have to pour in layers to avoid lots of bubbles. A vacuum chamber is definitely the best option though!

    I know I'm way late to comment but most resins are not meant for "deep" pours like this, it generates too much heat and causes those bubbles to get trapped. You need either a deep pour resin for like tables or countertops or a cool set resin which will take much longer to cure but does not generate as much heat.

    While I understand why a lot of people are upset with the historical inaccuracies with this video, I think it should be said that not all restoration is for the purpose of historical accuracy. Sometimes it's taking something old and making it your own creation. In this case, the original parts that he started with was an obvious casted replica. He is using his own tools and money to make for himself; he isn't hurting an original piece with heavy significance, or scamming someone else, or going against a clients wishes. Dude made a cool thing for himself based on his own preferences and wanted to share his techniques, thoughts, and struggles.

    Ok you asked... The amount of air added by the stirring is based on the area and turbulence of the stir. So a very small shaft w/a small 'fan' below the surface works well. Just insert it slowly. For bigger gaps in the mold, vibration can help. Usually for bubbles a low frequency works better; say 100hz or below. Thanks for posting, I liked the handle mold a lot.

    @admpandora91 Před 3 lety

    For getting rid of bubbles:
    Get a large tub allowing the object to be oriented properly for the resin fill.
    Prop up or suspend the object.
    Cap the tub with a lid, secured tightly.
    The lid needs a 3/8" brass ball valve integrated into it.
    Connect the ball valve to a pneumatic hose and vacuum pump (check your local hardware/refrigerant supply house, they should have one available; shop around for good prices).
    You now have a custom sized vacuum chamber.

  • @FarFromHome91
    @FarFromHome91 Před 3 lety

    There are kinds of epoxy made especially for deep-pours. They are usually labelled as low-viscosity, slow cure resins. They are more liquid than normal resin and take a long time to cure (12-24 hrs) but because they're thin, the bubbles have time to rise up. Also tapping and vibrations help a lot, or pulling a vacuum.
    Love your videos man, keep up the good work.

    It has been 2 years, but if you don't already know. The reason for the bubbles is how you were mixing. While it looks cool for the camera, the double popsicle stick on a drill is incorporating micro bubbles into the mixture. The 2 parts need to be well mixed, but it is important to be gentle and avoid mixing in air. As it settles those micro bubbles settle, they combined to form the large pockets like you had. Hope that helps.

    If you put it in a pressure pot, after stirring it, and as it's setting it gets rid of all of the bubbles! also, if you have a three to one ratio resin it causes less bubbles than a one-to-one ratio. It sets much slower but has less stirring involved ergo, less bubbles! Also, if you sand and polish the resin it turns less cloudy and will be absolutely gorgeous! I recommend watching Bens workx videos, he doesn't incredible stuff with wood and resin! Maybe you can get some ideas! I love this ax! It turned out beautiful!
