I think these came out pretty cool! With the holidays around the corner, these can be some cool handmade gifts. For more info on this check out the written article here: diycreators.com/diy-wood-in-resin-coasters/
Do you have these on sale ?
فكرة رائعة دائما متألق
I agree
Something that'd help with the bubbles coming from the wood would be to stabilize it first
Could you make a tv wall mount with a resin design? I think it would look very nice with the LED lights you use. Also, a wall mounted idea with resin but with a rain/water effect and LEDs. Just throwing ideas I would like to see.
Takes a rare type of person to make a tutorial detailing the trial and error man, thanks so much, I applaud you!
One of my favorite things about your videos is that you don't edit out all of your mistakes. This keeps me from making the same mistake. It also shows your thought process, and the thought process is what helps people come up with new ideas in the future. Finally, it teaches the most valuable lesson of all: that we learn from both successes AND failures. Thanks for the great content!
I know this is an older video but I just found you. I like your style! You test and show both positives and negatives... The issues are what we experience so addressing them now is great. Thank you and stay real.
If you paint on a thin layer of “penetrating epoxy” to the wood and let it dry before you do your actual pour, it will seal the wood and will not release bubbles during set up.
cool little project Glen! The silicone tube explosion happens when there is cured silicone blocking the nozzle, and backpressure from squeezing the caulk gun causes it to blow out. When I use a silicone tube again, I like to take a thin long screw and twist it into the nozzle by hand, then pull it straight out. The threads of the screw will pull out the cured silicone that is blocking the nozzle.
Thanks, Mike! I know about the screw trick that's how I was able to get some out lol, but it must be clogged deeper. Just my luck though, I think it's the Florida heat that does it to me.
And here I thought just once I might know a trick you didn't....I should have known better :)
"Them creators are everywhere..." ^^
My daughter and i are going to do these, but use, stonecoat project epoxy, designed to seal the wood, and allow casting. But i love the simplicity of this concept, use of resources available to us & our mini shop at home and thank you for all the beginner tips in your channel!
Cool! I made something similar except I put dried flowers on the wood before putting on the resin/epoxy
that sounds pretty nice!
Love the natural look of the wood encased in the icey resin. Frosten in time. Perfect forr putting your chilied glasses of Christmas drinks on.
Never seen bubbles being popped with alcohol. Cool tip. Thanks man!
Loved how you used materials available easily instead of special moulds etc
I appreciate the fact that you show wins and losses and demonstrate trying new things with results.
I did a similar thing but used glass mosaic buttons in the epoxy. Came out looking great. Thanks for sharing.
Great idea!
Cool. Maybe putting an entire branch in an entire pipe, cast, cure, miter cut, and then coat with a little more resin? Could give you more coasters / time.
Glen, I thought about a way to keep the bark on would be to cut a longer 6 inch section and cast that in a 7 inch section of pipe. Then once the resin has cured, cut the coasters out of the big piece. To get the last few coasters, attach a piece of scrap wood to use as a handle.
Sand each cut surface to remove any saw marks, then paint resin on the coaster, waiting till it's cured then flip and repeat. This way the resin fills the sanding marks and removes the need to polish with very fine grit pads.
Great idea and an interesting video.
I agree with your choice to sand and give it that almost frosted glass look. The contrast is beautiful.
They turned out beautifully. I would've loved to see a mini version of the faux marble table top you made for your daughters room but amazing work none the less.
Thanks for showing the trial & error stuff along with finished product. Looks great!
Beautiful!
This is such a different project for you, came out cool. I’ve just started playing with wood and resin too thanks for sharing 🌲🦊🌲
I love resin builds! I'm definitely going to add some resin to our future builds.
Nice work! I agree about the clouded look. It looks better than the clear!
Thank you
These turned out awesome Glen. Keep it up with the great projects!
these are AMAZING!
Love the finished look! Great video, thanks for the tips! And most importantly, thanks for sharing what didn’t work as well, that really helps!
seem like a cool ass dude to have a beer with
Stumbled, well was sent to your vid. Love it. Your doing what i just started to learn. made an epoxy table.Not perfect. Know where i made my mistakes but was able to make it look mint .You do a great job experimenting for us so thank you. You inspire me to learn how to do vids not only to show my successes but failures so others don't have to. I have a utility knife that was on the floor that is now permanently incased in epoxy.lesson learned. I'm gonna sand and polish it. As a take crap off the floor reminder. I get to excited. Gotta slow down...lol Crap shoes are a plus. Fun but sticky.
I love working with epoxy resin, you can use a heat gun or torch to get the bubbles out also. You can also be careful when you mix the resin to not introduce air.
Just what I needed, about to do this with some paper coasters I got from Star Wars Land.
Cool coasters
I love your channel man. Especially the smaller things. A lot of them turn into Christmas presents for people who also love them. Thanks.
Great idea using the pvc. Hot glue works really well holding the molds down and placing them on melamine covered with tuck tape helps! Thanks for the tutorial!
Stunning wish I had all the tools to make them x
Hey Glenn. These are awsome and definatley a weekend project. Love your work buddy. Keep it up.
Looks cool and should last and work for a very long time. Nice idea.
I always love what you make I hope I can put some things on you're channel into a schooly
I would put a few drops of super glue to keep the mold steady when using the silicone
Nice work. I am a big fan of epoxy and wood. Mixing in some colors to the epoxy would look pretty good too.
A couple of suggestions. If you plan on doing more, instead of making individual molds. Leave the pipe one long piece. Cut it down the center. Use hose clamps to kept it from causing a line. Use that to make a log that you then cut the coasters from. Wipe a last coat of epoxy on after that yo cover the exposed wood and sand/polish to your desire.
And to really get rid of bubbles. After you you poured into the mold, put the mold isnt a pressure pot at 50-60 psi until it cures. This crushes any bubbles that might be present and helps keep moisture in the wood, which also will cause bubbles when it hits the epoxy.
This was a great video. I am thinking about trying wood in my coasters; up until now I have used dried flowers or leaves or gemstones. Also instead of using packing tape you can use 3M painters tape and it won’t leave any residue and comes off cleanly.
Looks great!
Love these - so cute 🌲🦊🌲
Great video. Love the lessons learned.
Very pretty!
Excellent thank you - I think I'll have a go at doing some myself.
Awesome job again!
Thank you
I would think you could make these in a regular silicone mold for resin coasters? I’d like to try it!
While it's an extra step, if you don't want bubbles to come out from your whatever pieces, it's customary to paint it in a thin coating of epoxy before your immersion pours.
Looks awesome!!! It reminds me of a frozen lake with pieces of wood in it, I'm thinking that it would look cool if it was partly cloudy like real ice 😁❄ keep up the great work 😎👍
You should sell these. I’d buy them. I love the all clear ones !!!
Great video showcasing the results of your experimentation. With the second try and adding the wood during the first pour, I am curious as to what would be the bubble outcome if you added the resin, sprayed the alcohol mix to begin the bubble release and then placed the wood on top. I may have to try that myself at some point. Thanks again for your creativity.
Man, that is a great project!!! I love how you ACTUALLY take us along for the journey while doing your projects. A lot of other videos have DIY in the title and it's just a video of them running through a project with no explanation!!! Keep up the great work, God bless,and greetings from Jersey bud!!!
Yes I hate that!
Same here!
The tube of silicone pushed out the back because you need to use the stick poker usually on the front of the caulk gun to poke the front of the tube thoroughly to get the old dried silicone out
interesting! thanks
This is really cool! I want to try this for xmas presents :)
Thanks
Wow! That looks amazing. Keep up the good work.
Thanks
Really good 😃
Got your channel from Eric Rhoten and I’m so glad I found you. This was a great video.
Super cool !!
Nice job love the look
cool
*_Interesting video_* 👍
I've been able to reuse a tube of caulking by putting in a long nail (I like aluminum gutter spikes for this) that is a snug fit in the opening. The key is to get a nail longer than the plastic spout so you can be sure that it reaches past the spout into the center of the tube. I then take a piece of duct tape and carefully wrap it around the nail and nozzle both, ensuring that there are no gaps or wrinkles in the tape. Basically making a tape "flag" to seal off the opening from any air intrusion. This has worked well for me for storing it for many months, although eventually the caulk will harden in the tube anyway. To use it again, just run a knife along the tape flag and remove it and the nail.
I made a casting decades ago of a leaf in a sea shell, and over time the resin has turned from clear to amber, but it probably wasn't a UV-stable casting resin. Casting resin is fun though. I like the way you experiment with techniques to see what works and what doesn't. Keep up the good work.
Great job thanks for sharing!
Amazing
I took freezer paper and put that on the bottom of my mold, then taped it, ended up with a nice smooth bottom
Great idea!
Wow it’s beautiful 😍
Thank you
This is so cool!!!!
keep going , you are one of my favourite !
Awesome work mate they look really cool
Nice job.
*Wow!*
Thanks for showing and sharing that
Anytime!
Wow! Thats nice)
"As I was squeezing the gun, it started coming out the opposite end."
I have that problem all the time. Kind of embarrassing, but you're not alone!
Great job, dude! Beautiful results! 😃
But... From the thumbnail I thought it was dishes with steaks... And now I'm hungry. 😐
Thanks, haha I can see that a first glance.
I was literally just thinking about doing this
Super cool 👍👍
Excellent work 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Look`s cool, maybe i try this too, same kind off a X-mas gift, thx for this brilliant idea bro ;D
Thank you :)
Awesome 👏
Thank you
muy buenos porta vasos, saludos
Nice project mate
If i may suggest you can get those coasters back to a full clear appearance to learn more about polishing and fine grit sanding maybe visit your local automotive collision repair shop. It is possible to get the full clear effect back,the resin is very tuff stuff but it is possible.
Nice work Glen! 👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks Fred!
Hot glue works great for holding your molds in place. ;)
I really like these. I really, really liked the clear see through look too.
Those look beautiful 👌Sir!!
Hi Glen, always a educative job, interesting video, go ahead guy!!!
Great video...very interesting information...greetings from Germany
Cooool
Another great diy😀
Thank you
@@DIYCreators your most welcome sir👍
Very nice
Nice project!! Something that'd help with the bubbles coming from the wood would be to stabilize it first
Very much enjoyed your video and gave it a thumbs up also
Awesome video!
I just have one question, what kind of wax did you use to prep the molds?
I like those !!! I did some wood and resin coasters video like that a few weeks ago!!!
Thanks, nice :)!
Love these! Could you use silicone molds (like for baking) to surround the cut PVC like a glove then just pop them out when done?
Hey that’s pretty cool 👍 I do resin too but only do insects. Cool coaster idea😀
Hey buddy use a torch to get the bubbles out works really good, good job my man
Muito lindas, peças únicas e que com certeza vai agradar quem receber de presente. Pelo menos foi o que pensei na hora: presentear a quem amo.
Those are very nice bro. How would a flower hold up during the same process?
another good way to get rid of bubbles is to add heat to it in the beginning, let them rise to the top and pop.
