Your customer support team is outstanding. The company standing behind their product is excellent, a five-star company.

Thanks for producing these videos. They've been an awful lot of help and a great learning tool.

Hey! THANK YOU much for all of these amazing videos Jordan.. But sadly it looks like he no longer is creating, anyone know the scoop?

What is the thickness you can do with alumilite clear slow if im doing a 8inch by 8inch square?

[jencstephens]

Would have been cool to find out the way to do it so it's perfect. It's got the shimmer from the 2 resins not actually locking together. Would be nice to know how to avoid that. 😉

If Resin "Spray and Sealer" failed, what exactly is it good for ? Please provide some examples, as I am now confused. Seems like the "Sealer" doesn't "seal". At least I am pleased with honesty that as a Pro you are willing to share fails...

So can you do a video on how to make a straw topper mold for tumblers? I have never made my own molds but would live to try it. I'm a tumbler maker so for me straw toppers are a perfect way to use any leftover epoxy and create fun gifts for my customers.

Hi Alumilite, could you guys do more videos about your Urethane products?
Most of your videos (and most on the internet overall) focus on epoxy which makes it very frustrating to learn more about those product lines and best use.

Id love to hear more on things like:
Which of your Urethanes are best for various types of products.
Safety precautions of Urethane VS Epoxy.
Sanding advice.
Which Dyes and other fillers work best with urethanes.
Etc.

Basically any video you've done on specifically epoxy, would be great to see a similar video on your urethane range.

I started out using Alumilite epoxy & still use it - I did a dino & egg with your regular epoxy & had just a few micro bubbles - didn't look bad - but I'm thing of ordering your deep pour for a few more dino & egg & light bulbs

[Jake-cort]

Excellent vid! Thanks for doing these. (c:
I would love to see one on making a finished piece made of silicone, like a vibration isolator or a rubbery toy.
Are there color options?

[tedvoskuil]

Do I have to use silicone for a mold? What if I have a thinner part that needs more rigid support, or that silicone might bend or collapse?

[hoofhearted]

Hello, I have just started making stuff with Alumilite epoxy. I've won some and lost some battles with my projects but the one that is starting to work is the coasters. The problem I have now is that I think I just got my first order for coasters. I'm using Alumilite Amazing Clear Cast epoxy is that ok to use or should I use something else?

[akarph]

What resin would I need if I need the project to be flexible (the dragon eye mold). I have the mold but I haven't used it because the resins I currently have are not flexible, they are rigid. I currently have Amazing Clear Cast, Deep Pour and Quick Coat. I don't want to get into using a pressure pot.

FYI - At 1:12 the word chamber is misspelled.

The camera always moving when doing casting. It could be most viewers were focus on how to the mix the alumilite resin and pour it into the mold properly as well as some details how to prepare the mold before casting. The only stable screen is hearing the long speeches. It seems no much technic was seen to learnt from this action movie video.

[jeffschmidt]

Too much work fifteen steps and who uses a pressure pot? NO ONE just not informative, with use of the what? pressure pot? is he smoking pot how about using the resin like most humans do NO Pressure POT NO POT of any kind if your casting resin all needs pressure to cast without bubbles, than something is wrong with your resin and don't stir like your making wiping cream I should be able to cast without the use of a pressure pot try cleaning that LOL I have made real life boats. ? does that have to go into a pressure pot also where do I find a forty foot pressure pot, pot head. The resin needs to be better than that and all their resin is hard as glass you drop your item, and it breaks like glass ALL OF IT.

Mistakes cost I seen in this video is that your products don't work to solve the needs of this project. Quick coat = 30.00 dollars, Clear Cast = 36.00 for 32 oz, Spray Sealer, Dye, Silicone for molds....100 bucks wasted trying to figure out how to get the desired result...and still not what was a thought, buy a ready made plastic "Dyno" figurine and cast it....or better yet just let your kid enjoy the Chinese made dyno all by itself and save $$$$
