I am a researcher working with material science. For 2 weeks I've been trying to learn about epoxy coatings, and I've not learned from research papers as much as I have learned from your 10 mins videos. Thank you !

This is the most helpful explanation of resin that I have ever seen! GREAT Job!

[JerryBWagoner]

Another amazing video. You really know how to deliver these. I certainly want to understand more about hardness, especially considering that not everyone uses the same scale.

You are a fantastic teacher !! Thank you !!

[boxsterman]

What an incredible analogy!!! Well done!

New to epoxy after falling in love with a diorama artist. Thought I should check out safety and other things first and glad I did. Excellent helpful informative content. Thanks heaps.

This video really helped me! I want to make a locket with flowers in it so now I know to use the ACC+ for it! Thank you!

Just ordered my first epoxy (2 gallons). I’ll give it a try. Your videos are funny but informative!

[stevenshackelford]

Ohhhh my!!! If only all YouTube informative videos were made by you! Your style is perfect and your helpful-'to the point' are the best on YouTube ---> BAR NONE ! THANK YOU!

[mmcneil]

Lots of great info! Just what I was looking for 🤙

[cachejewels]

BTW - I share your videos in my groups to help newbies. I especially like to share this one and your resin safety video. Thank you for them.

[edwardcheng]

Thanks for your explanation !! U make it fun man 💪💪 and super easy to understand

[chriswright]

I like your video. It’s very informative and helpful. My only problem is when you flipped the white board and stopped using the terms the way you had used them in the first part, I got confused. I know this was because you’re using the names of your products instead, but my brain has a hard time keeping track without the continuity. I appreciate the good information!

Really enjoying the videos covering Epoxy Facts. I’ve been using epoxy for surfboard construction for many years. A lot of things you have covered I’ve learned the hard. You guessed I’m new to your YouTube channel. Perhaps you have covered this in other videos but I’d love to learn the science behind “fish eyes” in surface coatings. And how to prevent them. Cheers, love the white board.

Awesome breakdown, thanks for doing the video

Wonderful
The best teacher
Seriously really good and clear explanation!!

Great video you break it down nicely & make it not quite so intimidating!! I don't know if I missed some information somewhere in this or not, but I'm wondering about heat. UVis right out in the open & easy to understand but sis I miss info on which ones are best in f heat might be a factor? Not like super hot...I'm talking coasters for drinks. I have heard so many artists complain that even after weeks of curing they have issues with stickiness if a hot cup of coffee is places on a coaster! I understand than some are probably inexperienced folks that maybe didn't mix properly, but not all of them. I have a commission to do for kitchen tile & I want to make sure there aren't any heat issues. Which do you recommend for heat protection on tile?!?

Great information thank you, I've just bought my first kit so excited to try it out. Need to check if I have the right stuff now lol tfs😁

[beezlebubz]

7 months late here but loving all of the videos you all are putting out. Cheers 🤘🏼

Here's the thing. I want to make one single small project, and according to this video I would need AQC and ADP for that (seal the wood, then pour ~1, 5cm). Is it possible to seal the wood with ADP and just wait a little longer? Or do you have to use AQC for that? Because having 1 type of epoxy lying around is one thing, but I don't want to have an entire shelf full of materials for this one project

By the way, AMAZING video!!
