One reason why the magnetic stir bars clean off so well is that they are actually coated with PTFE (the stuff in Teflon). When mixing chemicals this ensures that as little of the chemicals stick to the bar as possible and that the bar itself doesn't react with any of the chemicals. It also helps to reduce friction on the bar, making it easier to stir.
-
I really respect how the company reached to the criticism. It also feels like it really pushed them to make a better and more unique product.
-
Katelyn: drops resin on gloves Evan: washes gloves/hands with resin
-
If you use the magnetic stir bars in the future, you can remove them from the resin with another magnet through the side of the cup! might be easier and less disruptive to the resin surface than reaching in with tweezers.
-
'Amazon keeps on recommending products to us, and my husband keeps on buying them'. I can relate 😅
-
It's refreshing to see a company take some accountability
-
As a benchtop scientist, those magnetic stir plates are super super useful and reliable. If science companies didn't inflate their prices so much, I would consider getting one for my home.
-
The resin stir sticks are super easy to clean up if you spray them with isopropyl alcohol as soon as you are done and wipe away with a paper towel. If you wait til it's cured, it's a pain to remove the resin from them.
-
Im actually really impressed by the baby vacuum chamber i work with resin only in small amounts for like dice or charms or jewelry and could never see myself buying a vacuum or pressure chamber bc they are soooo expensive lol the max of what i use is a heat gun so the fact that it actually did that good a job. (the hand mixed control vs the small vacuum) is nice to know some cheaper options actually arent crazy scams
-
The price of the vacuum chamber is amazing. If i was a resin home maker then the vacuum chamber that i could get for under £200 and not have to know 100% how it works and have a company that i could get customer sport from is amazing. Also cool that the company had the confidence in the product to reach out.
-
Remember when Evan fell through the ceiling. Wild times!
-
The magnetic mixer combined with the cheaper vacuum could be a win win situation. The cheap vacuum did pull some of the bubbles, and the magnetic mixer produced less bubbles.
-
This was such chill vibes. Haha was so happy to hear y'all weren't suid on Patrion. It dose take guts to send your product to someone who completely roasted your last one. Glad to see them stand by their product. Seems good for dice and other small projects. Haha y'all definitely have plenty of small gift pens now 😂
-
The price to effectiveness ratio on the small vacuum chamber is pretty darn good. If you were just a hobbyist that wanted to cut down on bubbles, it seems like a good pairing with the stir bars. I do question the longevity of the vacuum chamber though.
-
I've seen this silicone mat that Peter Brown has and you can make different tools with your extra resin instead of having to find extra molds, I think you guys would really like it and should try it out
-
The silicone stir sticks are better if you immediately clean the resin off after using. If you leave the resin on it, it dries out the silicone with each use. Eventually it won't peel off the stick and you will need new ones. Happened to me.
-
I have that little vacuum chamber and I love it! Any bubbles that are left over are much bigger and easier to pop with a quick pass of a lighter and it gets my resin so clear and perfect. You can't beat the price!
-
i imagine the silicone gloves being great for hand shaped molds

"Okay, we totally repurposed a fruit dehydrator, but you should try our new vacuum chamber!" ::sends them a repurposed juicer::
