    I feel for yall so much on this. I used to do FX work with silicone and resins. there is literally no feeling in the world worse than when you go to pour that bucket full of $600+ of material in a mold only to find that its already kicked and solid. lets just say its a mistake that I only did once. Side note we had a wobbly 5 gallon bucket mold that we kicked around the shop for years as the most expensive (and strange) door stop that I've ever made 🤣🤣🤣 One other note to this, depending on your climate/humidity/current temp it will drastically change the amount of working time you have. From personal experience do a bit of research to see how those factors effect the hardening time. It will save you lots of time, stress and money. Also do a bit of research on known compounds that will keep a product from firming up. ie: linseed oil is put in a lot of hand creams; even a little bit will cause silicone to never harden

    I use a straight edge on the bottom, hold the straight edge right by the baseboard when cutting in and you won't get paint on the baseboard.

    Just wondering why not put the pan liner on the bottom or seal it with red guard before you put the concrete on wood. Concrete will eat up the wood if it's laying on bare wood. Why does it anybody do something like that and what's the pros and cons

    why is it you'd only recommend this for a garage floor? I'm in Alaska - and everything is quadruple the cost - and we're moving into our home with plywood floors. I figure it can't hurt to experiment - as we've got to save up for the flooring (no mortgage!) - worse comes to worse and we hate it - there'd be no problem just putting down a wood floor on top, right? Should I be scared to try it?

  • @StarkeyatRingo
    @StarkeyatRingo 25 дней назад

    Well. we've just got our new home dried in. I 've found the epoxy countertops and floor videos - and I am sure I want to jump. I guess I will start with a countertops first. I was wondering do you see an issue, with like making epoxy flowers in molds - then laying them all out in the bathroom - then resinating it all? Do you foresee any issue in this type of scenario . Even watching your fail video, it's hard to understand , as a lay person, exactly what was the issue - you poured it too deep - and it flash cured? and how did you eliminate that? Pour it into smaller, shallower containers?

  • @chr0nocideyo

    great tip for cutting in color walls against a white ceiling is to run a light bead of clear acrylic caulking in the corner to be cut beforehand. this will make it much easier to cut a straight line. I painted for many years before I discovered this.

  • @sterlingwitherspoon5709
    @sterlingwitherspoon5709 28 дней назад

    Same thing happened to me last night man....I'm so devastated. I literally mixed 5-600 sq feet just to start painting the edges first. By the time I got ready to actually roll the floor....I poured onto the floor and the stuff would barely spread. At that point I knew I was scared!!! I learned my lesson. Mix and get straight to the pour don't waste no time.

    What would I do if I have three #6 Copper conductors over 200' to an outbuilding, so no ground lead from Main Panel. Two 120V circuits in the outbuilding. Currently ground and neutral from all outlets are "bonded" to outlet neutral leads and supply Neutral in the sunpanel. Can I just drive a ground rod for the building and move the outlet grounds to that, or MUST I run a 4th conductor for ground? BTW, I'm concerned more with the SAFE way than the legal way ;)
