The best science and technology channel on TH-cam, hands down.
What other channels shows you how to make banana brandy, air conditioners, jet engines and boat parts in the same place? I hope someone out there is sitting on their air conditioned fibreglass jet boat, sipping a glass of moonshine with a Peltier-frozen ice cube in it and raising a toast to Tech Ingredients ;)
PKMartin best comment ever!
Couldn’t agree more.
@@PKMartin 😂 Living the dream. 😂
the more I watch, the more I think you're right
Bravo Sir, Thank you, for your time and the imparting of your wisdom. May the peace of the Lord Jesus christ be with you.
Dude. I have been using all of this for years. I dabble in this and that from assembling lasers to sandwiched ultrasonic misted laminar flow projection displays and your in depth explanations and terminology and the way you draw out and build up the understanding curve is awesome and super informative. In this video you covered what took me years to learn and more in 24 minutes. Your excitement @24:00 was great and was cool to learn what else is possible.
Thank you
Ok real quick. In the far future.... Optically trapped polarized filted carbon waste projectant
Never underestimate the value of a quality educator. It's just sad that "quality educators" are all but absent in most school systems. They never taught me anything of value, which makes guys like this even more valuable in this day and age.
@@MFKR696 Today in public school I learned the most important lesson of all. That biological men who trans to women are not only real women, but even better than biological females. That's public school science class, 2020.
@@jckay5087 That's pretty fucked. So much for equality, eh? lol
I read your third sentence in one breath lol😂
i love the fact that your vac sounds like the flubber engine
Given enough time, I wouldn't be surprised to see him make it fly.
@@Zheeraffa1 don't joke he can make shit fly i seen it
I was wondering about that. I've never seen a vacuum pump like that.
This!!
One of the common uses for a pump like that is to recover freon from an air conditioning system rather then release it into the air. I'll never forget that sound. My dad did refrigeration.
clear, concise, complete and correct.... such a great presentation & presentation style
I could not agree more! Earlier, in a reply to another comment a Tech Ingredients fan wrote: "very informative but dry as hell." While the first part of this analysis is quite obvious - I take exception to the second part; dry as hell, dry as hell!!!
To refrain from repeatedly offending those with more delicate sensibilities, a benign substitute for the four letter word should be introduced. Clearly substituting the phrase: "H E double toothpicks" is too childish. I propose the acronym for, "Heaven Excepted, Cypher Known" or "HECK" in lieu of the word in question.
Getting back to my initial objection, I am by no means an expert, and in fact quite freely admit that I am completely ignorant of the relative humidity in heck! Nevertheless we can infer a nominal meteorological baseline using historical mythical rhetoric and common precepts that agree despite the sample size encompassing a variety of geographical areas and a wide selection of socioeconomic and cultural differences. The following precepts are the most common and widely accepted:
Heck is hot! Besides descriptions of burning, fire and brimstone .(sulfur) is commonly ascribed to heck.
Heck is a separate place. While sometimes heck is described as underground, at the center of the Earth, it may also be an interdimensional location.Regardless of where the heck heck is, it is always located within definite boundaries.
A heat source within any defined space is all that is required to define an oven! Because humidity is the amount of water vapor in a gas (air) and humidity is a function of the temperature and pressure of the gas any appliance designed to raise the temperature of the gas without introducing moisture is going to dramatically decrease the humidity of that gas. Without even considering the fact that heck is a supernatural place allowing for the possibility of supernatural dryness!
It is mendacious to the point of facetious to compare Mr. Tech Ingredients to some supernaturally dry place!
Those of us that are fans of Mr. Tech Ingredients beg the person that made the comment to reconsider and perhaps offer a suggestion instead of just criticism. For example, they could say perhaps Mr. Tech Ingredients you could add dancing girls or cheerleaders to your channel. I'm sure his sons would not object to auditioning cute young cheerleaders! However I do not think that Mrs. Tech Ingredients would approve. Moreover, what kind of message would that send to teen Tech Ingredients daughter?

A Tech Ingredients fan!
@@JamesSmith-mq6vc Couldn't agree more with both of you. As to dry as hell, well this isn't some Millennial prank channel, what do people expect?
Indeed.
I do not believe that "Mr. Tech Ingredients" narrative is dry at all! In fact quite the opposite! I had a professor in college that was as effective as any sleep medication! No, the speaker in these videos is as interesting even more riveting as any TED speaker!
24:05 But you can EVEN GO FURTHER. Love It!
If Wikipedia was a guy, this would be him.
I love it
Right!
Very informative, but dry as hell.
@@Joeybagofdonuts76 To some, perhaps. It depends if you are truly engaged in the topic.
No, he is not Wikipedia at all. Wikipedia is created by everyone and occasionally a person creates stupid and useless information. This man is an Encyclopedia. Full of verified information that you can use as a reference in a college paper. :-P
he is a good father and husband and an even better teacher I feel. rarely he starts a subject that isn't life-applicable. I love him for that.
25 yrs using Epoxies here. I use those pine tongue sticks and found that they emit billions of microbubbles so I seal several with artists acrylics. Works great for me. Thanks for the educational videos.
Thanks
I used WEST to do fiberglass repairs on my sailboat in the 70s.
Afaik, WEST stands for Wood Epoxy Saturation Technique, developed in London, Ont to infuse wood with resin.
I totally agree with Mr "the alt-flight"
"The best science and technology channel on TH-cam, hands down."
Great job Thanks
Just a tip. You can pull air into syringe and push epoxy out of that long nozzle with it so there is no waste.
The amount of work that goes into making that whole video flow and look easy.... I can only imagine.
This man is a wizard. He is undoubtedly one of the top 10 most amazing makers on TH-cam.
Top 1 in my book
All I can say is THANK YOU!
for giving us all this information in such an easy and complete way.
love this channel!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is the modern day Mr. Wizard.
My father who is 91 was/is a chemist. He worked on some of the early epoxies with Devoe Renolds in New Jersey for marine coatings. I grew up in a household of chemistry experiments with dyes, epoxy, paints, and experiments for filling explosive dents in aircraft carrier runways. I never picked up the chemistry, much to my father's dismay but he did appreciate my architectural carrier. I enjoy your videos, you remind me of my father and his enthusiasm for his work whether I understood it or not.
I'm amazed at how eloquently you speak, without reading off a script. You would make an excellent technical school instructor or university lab instructor. Thank you for all the great info! What an information dense video.
Good stuff! I work with epoxy and carbon fiber every single day and you're on point with your knowledge.
As always, loved the video!
I've spent a long time working with epoxy, and have had to figure most of it out by trial and error. Its great to see videos like this because, well.. you see epoxy, and you know how it works etc, it's simple, but you don't see the learning curve till you actually dabble in the stuff.
Videos like this compress years of learning into a mouthful that is easy to chew on and tastes great! I wish someone had made a video like this when I first started out. Thanks for all the work. :)
With all the crafty TH-camrs experimenting with resin, I believe they would gain a ton from this video alone. This is a fabulous intro to epoxy.
Love it, thank you for being so down to earth while pumping out masses of information. Rare thing!
Another subject that would be helpful in terms of coatings is what materials are best for extended UV protection.
This takes me back...
I used to apply epoxy at my old job, and loved watching all the bubbles collapse when you let the air back into the vacuum chamber.
I'd seen that trick more than once, I think once from a guitar builder (makes sense, they're using it exactly the same way) and once from the King of Random when he was trying to replicate things in homemade molds.
The quality of these videos is mind boggling. Thank you so much!
Love the videos. I'm 63 and love to constantly learn something new.
I appreciate the straightforward and informative presentation. I have no personal use for epoxy but I watched the entire video! That's a compliment. 👍
Uad Incorporated You took my comment rather literally but as it turns out I did use Dermabond this week to close a couple of small surgical incisions. ✌
I have used epoxy for years but - this taught me one heck of a lot I wasn't aware of! Thank you very much.
Same here.
I really appreciate how you start at first principles, yet still find a way to weave in your experience and practical advice. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely loving your fiberglass videos. You fill in the gaps the other channels don't even know they have. I am truly engaged during your teaching. Thank you so much.
Peter brown has a series on budget resin dyes and pigments, the dollar store watercolour paint powders are pretty good choices.
the sound of your very nice ancient vacuum pump is sooo awesome!!!!!!!
flashback to flubber!
This and the other video about fiberglass reinforcement packed a ton of information in a very understandable way. I look forward to every new video you post, cheers and thanks for what you do.
Thank you sir. I am just starting with resin art. And i was just looking for ways to make fluorescent resin art, this is exactly what i was looking for. Thank you TH-cam recommendations
Great presentation style, very informative :) love the engineering style of the main presenter! Can we expect a video about epoxy + 3d printed internal reinforcement structures?
i wish you had just titled this video "how to work with epoxy" - since that's what it is. it barely talks about glowing epoxy and it talks a lot about other stuff. this video is very useful and no one will know because its title does not betray that it talks about all sorts of stuff related to working with epoxy.
Yep
Well, honestly I came here because I work with epoxy and know that this guy knows his science, but yea, I agree, I might not have clicked it for the title alone if I had not seen other videos of his.
Yeah I skipped this video but only came back to it when a colleague recommended it to me.
It's actually smart marketing if you know how videos are promoted on youtube. It's unfortunate but you need to play the game.
An eye catching thumbnail and headline is most important. Something that will get people to say "woah!".
Not sure if that counts as clickbait because he baits them with attention grabbing stuff, but then punishes them with in-depth knowledge ;)
But what he's doing is smart.
@@dejayrezme8617 i disagree
This is rapidly becoming my favorite channel on TH-cam!
Another extremely high quality video. The forethought put into the demonstration of materials was as impressive as always. I learn so much from these videos and always look forward to the next.
Well done!
Another non-obvious, brilliant application.
I used System Three when I built my kayak. I haven't tried any others. They have a free downloadable book called, "The Epoxy Book" that might be of interest to people learning about epoxy. It has information that is relevant to all brands of epoxy.
West system has a lot of publications freely available about working with epoxy also.
HI ! I'm very glad that you're tackling the topic of epoxy, with your usual deep and pedagogic approach ! Keep it up ! thanks!
probably the most informative n to the point video on epoxies. very helpful. !!!
This guys' a damn legend, I tell you!
Great content, great videos, great man, great educator, great father and son team.
Do you have affiliate links for the vacuum pump filter and or epoxy and dies that you’re using? Thanks bud
I gotta say, you are extremely informative and thorough in everything that's awesome. I appreciate you're channel more than any other on TH-cam. I want to thank you for giving all the information you give. I can't thank you enough. I find myself your videos watching ALL day long. I can't get enough. Thank you!
I am impressed with your videos. Very knowledgeable and easy to digest format. Can't wait to use some of the techniques and tips you discussed in this video with my work.
loving your videos cant wait for the hydrofoil
I'd love to see a video at some point about your training or how you became passionate about these subjects. With great admiration and respect.
Thanks!
Nah. Gotta have some mystery and wonder.
Clickspring, Tom Scott, Tested, and now Tech Ingredients are my favourite channels for assimilation of random (but mostly useful) information. As a woodworker, I work with epoxies but I’ve never thought to dye them, but a fluorescing epoxy could make for some interesting guitar finishes. It would’ve been nice to see an example of some cured, though, but i guess I’ll have to do my own experimentation... keep up the informative work, my dudes!
I have been using Epoxy to build things for over 40 years. Learned a LOT from this video. I love how you EXPLAIN things as you move along. Definitely a subscriber.
This is the best 101 on fiberglass I've seen, but 24:06
Question : When will you do a biography about yourself .
I want to learn about the man behind the flannel.
@@JasonZnack The father of the son of the main presenter...
Genuinely interested in this too
I would be interested also
My guess is, most likely a military contractor for secret projects
You're off to a great start on this topic of Epoxy. Looking forward to more in-depth details on this and more.
had no idea an epoxy lesson could be so intriguing.... awesome overview / presentation
We need some fluorescent multi rotor and boat parts!
I need some of this for the club, that i never go to because i'm a neet
Just break open some glow sticks. No UV required.
Feels like I learnt alot the last year as a subscriber of your elaborate and detailed videos.
I love this channel. It's like "Here is a neat thing. Let me tell you its features. ALL OF THEM."
AAAAAAAAAAAAH and I thought maybe I'll get a hint to this mystery we're facing in the lab.
I deal with fruit flies, whose cuticle is strongly fluorescent. We've managed to get a detectable fluorescence emission at all wavelengths in the visible range, but it works best at the lower end.
And we have NO clue why it fluoresces. People in the field think it's chitin itself, but chitin has no molecular structures that would allow the flexibility in wiggle space that electrons need to absorb and emit photons (according to our resident physicist).
While trying to figure out what it takes for something to fluoresce, we found out that even random polymers (polyethyleneglycol) and proteins (bovine serum albumin) behave similarly, although much weaker than the cuticle. So I thought that maybe this is the case for polymer resins as well and you'd explain why...
Ah well, still a great video! I loved the little toying around at the end :D
Your physicist is right. The extremely broadband light output is curious as the electron relaxation is very discreet. If you have the capability to measure the decay time vs wavelength this would help identify the source. Fluorescence lasts for nanoseconds, phosphorescence lasts for milliseconds or longer.
@@TechIngredients I'll check whether our microscope would be capable of measuring decay time. The above info regarding its fluorescence properties is entirely from a confocal fluorescence microscope, using different lasers for excitation (405, 488, 514, 561, 633) and seeing what emission we can detect with a GaAsP spectral detector. I'd be happy to show you the spectra we got if you're interested.
Every time I work with a 2-part polyurethane outside it seems that tiny flies commit suicide on the wetted area before it cures and hardens. It draws them like a magnet. Related?
@@PawlSpring You're thinking along the lines that it emits blue light and attracts flies with it? Intuitively I'd guess it's more related to smell than light.
@@PawlSpring: Or, as with me, it's just Murphy f'ing with your day! :P
"Polyurethane is a very strong adhesive"
...as long as you dont get any foaming in the bond joint. Some people think the foaming is good because it fills gaps. But it greatly reduces strength.
Most polyurethane is not foaming. That is just a subset of the range of polyurethane adhesives that are available.

@@randywells8990 _Mmmmmmmmmllkjbjkknjjhhhh;hhh444rr%%cr123 G437E y yyyyyyyy_ That's an interesting point that I never considered.
@@Bluuplanet industrial two part polyurethanes are non-foaming. Most hardware store glues, paints and adhesives are lower quality. On the other hand, you don't need to weigh anything with a scale or mix for three minutes or vacuum de-gas, etc. So that is the tradeoff if you go to industrial/professional coatings and adhesives.
Very informative and thought provoking. I'm amazed by the breadth and depth of your knowledge.
I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of your videos. Not only that but also the smoothness of the narrative is also quite intriguing.
Are there any dyes with UV absorptive properties that will mitigate the UV vulnerabilities of Epoxy?
You don't mean absorption. Anything that absorbed UV energy would be taking on tremendous energy with the amount that the sun puts out. The resulting enthalpy would give way to destructive entropy.
Any of the fluorescent dyes should, since the emitted colour is not nearly as destructive to epoxy
@@mduckernz for the die to be converting the uv to visible light meant the uv reached it and is degrading the epoxy.
There are UV-resistant additives available for epoxy, but I've heard they're not very effective. In the boat building trade the standard practice is to overpaint with a high quality 'exterior' grade urethane paint or varnish, which is opaque to UV and protects the epoxy beneath it.
@@afriedli the following link lists some uv protective techniques epoxy is mentioned in one of them.
omnexus.specialchem.com/polymer-properties/properties/uv-light-resistance
imagine coating the worlds second best speakers in the fluorescent epoxy. rave party..................
Epoxy is somewhat vibration-dampening ... so maybe not a good idea?
@@ZappyOh Use a spray cleaner bottle to mist the really low viscosity stuff onto a 1 inch thick soft fiberglass insulation blanket. Blanket becomes stiff like balsa wood when enough is applied.
Im using the glow epoxy to redo all my kitchen countertops, it should be amazing when done. I won't even need a light on in the kitchen anymore. LoL
speakers? Guitars man!
that, and his subwoofer concrete enclosures...hell, I bet he built audio amps so lets include that
Great video - I used to work in an epoxy lab and you gave pretty summary of all that needs to be known.
Thanks for taking us along
But wait! there's more!
Can you make smoke bombs with fluorescent smoke? Or fluorescent smoke in a smoke machine? That'd be neat.
other than the minor problems of toxic, mutagenic, and cancerous smoke? It would be easier to heat the dyes in low boiling solvents to create a fluorescent mist. It's still a bad idea, but if you're so stoned that florescent mist seems like a grand idea, you might as well go with the lower cost option.
So, are you ready to get an ultra-violet tattoo? Glow in the dark?
I love all of your videos and I especially love this one because I wasn't skipping forward through the intro
Thanks again guys, and keep it up! This channel is and always will be an inspiration.
25:37 - Fluorescent tee-shirt: It's to dye for!
Apparently, a lot of laundry detergents have fluorescent "whiteners" that make them look brighter in normal light because they convert UV to visible.

always the aliens fault *
Nice video, I use some of the heat cured epoxy at work. I have found that just 30 seconds in a centrifuge is as good as several minutes in vacuum for removing bubbles, and you don't have to worry about loosing volatile ingredients.. Unfortunately I don't have a centrifuge at home, but I've been thinking about making one powered by a lathe or milling machine spindle for the home shop.
Ya, the problem is that a centrifuge with a practical volume is typically very expensive.
I can't get enough of Tech Ingredients! Every video feels like absorbing weeks of personal experimenting, and the best possible analysis/conclusions/summary report on design and materials possible, for free! I cant thank you enough for the knowledge! also, would love a video or short note on abc's of safely storing and disposing of some of the more "industrial" chemicals. ....and do you guys have funny tech ingredient shirts or something to show support?
Vacuum chamber more like bong ripper lol
Dear Tech Ingredients,
On behalf of the TH-cam Comment Brigade I am formally requesting that you provide us with a name by which we may refer to you. Having spent what is now many hours of our lives watching you McGuyver the hell out of everything known to man, we wish to now speak about you amongst ourselves and know not what to call you. If you'd like, we are willing to try and divine a name for you, but there is concern that the consequences of a "naming-by-committee" could be potentially disastrous as evidenced by other internet originated nomenclature (#MrSplashyPants4Lyfe).
Sirs, we are in need. There is a community forming, and it needs direction and caress...a candle on the hill...there was no John the Baptist to forerun your arrival and we are afeared in the lone and dreary world.
Yours Faithfully,
Sfurules, on behalf of The World
I say we do the following:
- amongst ourselves we shall call Him 'The Presenter';
- when addressing Him directly (or in the comments) we shall use 'Mr. Presenter, Sir'.
I insist on the capitals.
Absolutely Inspirational, every second counts, have learnt so much over the course of each information packed video, thankyou.
I knew watching you I would hit the jack pot at some point. These fluorescent epoxies are beautiful and I will be using them in the near future. Thank You...….

Thanks!
Thanks for the explanation for different types of epoxy, and the ticks to heal them, look forward for next vid
TECH INGREDIENTS I think what your doing on your channel is great. Your willingness to teach what you know. Well, kudos to you sir. Knowledge should free and spread out like water so all may know all they want to know. You know what I mean? Thank you for your time in the creation of these fine mini docs. Your time and knowledge is appreciated.
I've been working with resins and epoxies for *decades*, and I still learn really useful stuff from your videos.
Keep up the *fantastic* work!
Thanks!
Its good to hear that from someone who is knowledgeable.
I ran across your videos to do research for a project I am working on. I am now "hooked" on your channel. I have only met one person in my life ( electrical engineer) who has the interest and intensity of forever and ongoing learning about anything and everything in life as it is dreamed, testing, learned and keep moving forward with all my imagined projects and interests. My hat is off to you in your extremely informative and well thought presentations of your projects in life. I am blown away by your vast array of interests and testing and incredible ideas to draw from for myself and all the others here in a straight forward presentation of fabulous ideas! Please keep moving forward in like/similar videos. My wife wonders why I am now glued to your videos...no secret here...other than your absolutely have the best higher learning for project and life enthusiasts like me-and the other 410k subscribers to your channel! I will pass on the word to others! Thank you so much!....I would be curious to know what TH-cam videos you like or subscribe to that captures YOUR interest!

This is the kind of shows the discovery channel should be showing! Great stuff.
You, kind sir, have unwittingly answered some questions I have had for a while now!
And the epoxy information was helpful too!
Thanks!
Unwittingly? I try to answer questions that I have asked myself.
@@TechIngredients I had questions about a way to make a light weight, easily portable, highly efficient, large volume oven for curing powder coating type epoxies for machinery.
You showed that no heavy complicated metal structures are needed, simply a good table, a good heat source and some good insulation.
I can hang the bulk of the 'oven' up from a lift on the ceiling and roll the parts underneath it on a shelf or hanging tree which would require so much less structure or expense than building a heavy steel box with fixed shelving!
Also, being able to move really heavy items around is SO MUCH easier when you do not have to try to shove them sideways into a box! All one really needs to do is lift them gently down onto jack props so they stand the best way possible within the cavity [least amount of undesirable contact with anything] and then roll the table and the part under the box top and gently lower it into place without risk of scratching it!
I could even add a ground strap and simply electroplate the powdered resin to the part while it sits on the table, reducing the chances of disturbing its surface coating, by eliminating unnecessary handling!
All I would have to do then is use a low profile vacuum wand to gently vacuum up the colored resin overspray from the base of the oven so it did not cook onto the oven and all would be perfect!
