Let me make it shorter for everyone instead of watching him take temp readings for 11 minutes: don't use regular resin for a deep pour, it gets too hot and looks terrible. If you have to do a deep pour, buy something called "deep pour resin". You're welcome.
-
FYI, a deep pour resin isn't necessary. You can use regular stuff, but have to make layers (which can actually give you more options). It will take you a LOT of resin to do this, so account for that.
-
Thank you for showing WHY not to deep pour with non deep pour resin. Very few explain it. 🤔
-
I've worked with resin for years (using this brand) and did not realize this was a thing. I didn't start making large pieces like this until last year and could not understand why I was having problems. I tried layering, but ended up with visable layering lines. THANK YOU so much for this information. You've saved my future projects.
-
Only one thing you forgot to mention Steve, that flash curing can also catch fire. And also it's smart to always keep a fire extinguisher in case it does.
-
I love that you did this demonstration. Too many people go into it half cocked and no knowledge of what they're actually working with.
-
Wowee that difference is STARK! I'm truthfully surprised your mold didn't get ruined. TYSM for sharing this with us Steve! That is CRAZY!
-
Great example for us newbies. The other week Suzan Danske had a flash cure that, literally boiled and got foamy. I've heard not to toss anything in the trash bin when it's still hot. Because it can cause a fire. That thought is scary.
-
Wow, what a difference it made to the final product! I never do deep pours, but I really appreciate you doing this demo. It will save me wasting money buying the wrong resin for the job. Can it cause a fire if left unattended? When you said you were leaving the two resins to cure overnight I must admit I felt concern because the resin was so very hot. Thanks again for this advice, it's really appreciated. God bless you and your family. Have a great weekend!
-
I had a gallon dirty pour bucket on a countertop job, start smoking before I could get it poured out! Luckily, it was winter, with snow on the ground, so I was able to get it outside and in a metal trashcan with a lid. Amazingly, it cooled enough to cure into a lovely agate looking block, that I plan on sculpting into some bookends eventually.
-
That was a little scary. I watched a video from another crafter who had to run her piece into her garden. The item was smoking and boiling. I’m happy that didn’t happen here but what a good lesson. Thank you Steve for working so hard to keep us safe.
-
Thanks for doing this video, Steve! I have seen some resin YouTubes where there has been flash curing (including smoke!) but no one ever really explains why this even happens. This makes total sense! That's why you're the best!!
-
Soon, I'll be working on my first deep pour table and am so glad I watched this video. Thank you. You definitely saved me a lot of grief as well as a lot of money.
-
Deep pour degasses well too doesn't it. My regular 1 to 1 will easily do the depth you show here, and more, but for flowers I still use deep pour as you say anyway because of the low viscosity being better for releasing bubbles from the flowers. Good advice Steve :)
-
Beginners definitely need to watch this video. I wish I had found a video like this when I was just starting lol. ✌️❤️🤣 peace, love and happiness
-
Thank you so much for this. I've heard so much about flash cure and I have had no idea what it was.
-
Very timely! My teexpert deep pour just came in today! Now I'm ready to make something fabulous! Thank you
-
I've (thankfully) only once experienced flash curing, when I mixed too much resin in a cup. It went super hot, super fast, I didn't even get to pour it. It was a tiny amount compared to what you mixed here, but it freaked me out. I have deep pour from Teexpert waiting for warmer weather. It's been around -10 °C or more here for a month, and keeping my workspace (an old garage) warm enough to do resin pours would cost a fortune.
-
You also need to be careful if your resin is older too. It will flash cure way faster than a fresher resin will. I only had about 5 ounces mixed up and while i was getting ready to add some color it went off. My grandson grabbed the infrared thermometer. The resin hit 240f so fast. He quickly and carefully ran it outside and put it in the snow.

I rarely can get through an entire tutorial, but I really enjoy yours. Thank you ❤
