Hey everyone so this week our plan is actually to put a new pour table in our pour room here
that I'm in right now the reason being we need to increase our production right now
we only have to pour tables we have a 4 foot by 8 foot table and a 10 foot by 5 foot table
so that means that we can only really work on two tables at a time and we have way too
many jobs coming in right now to only have two tables so for that reason we're adding a third
table it's gonna be 12 feet long 6 feet wide and we basically want to show you guys what
it's going to take to reorganize this room get everything rearranged and moved around so that
we can fit this table in we'll show you exactly what we use and we'll also show you how we go
about building a mold and doing a pour so kind of the whole process now we have done a how-to
video in the past on epoxy mold building but since then we've switched products we
didn't get to show you guys the whole process of building the pour table so there's just some
new information that we want to give you guys this time around and I hope you enjoy the video
the pour tables in it it looks a lot different in here actually no we kind of changed some things
around like over here you guys can see we've kind of condensed this area so are our barrels
of chill used to be like directly underneath that sign there now we've just kind of condensed it
this way that way we can fit our medium-sized pour table right here our small pour table fits
in this corner we're still kind of working on cleaning this corner up but it will kind of fit
nicely here and then obviously finally the big one goes right here so this one is 12 feet long
6 feet wide our medium sized one is 10 feet long five feet wide and our small table is 8 feet long
and 4 feet wide so just depending on the size of project we're able to use different tables
to make sure that we're not wasting the the square footage on here so we're not doing like
an 8 foot table on a 12 foot sheet but now that that is all set up we'll put some plastic on it
and then if you guys come out here I'll show you what what we want to do with this new poor table
Spencer's been putting that together that black table it's looking really good and down here now
stop hub right there I believe Roxy except slab on the right that's going to be through the next
the next four so we are we're going to plop it on the CNC bring it back up here and then it's
actually getting cast in a in a smoky gray resin let's go take a closer look at this lab this is
the slot that we're gonna be casting here so right now we actually just literally noticed this it's
got a really bad company so which basically that just means that it's cupped like this over the
width this slab right now is 142 inches long the table that we're going to be building from this
is only 112 inches long so we're going to be able to cut off this top section and then just use all
of this nice wood in here and this particular piece has a really nice character like just big
inclusions big knots those are all going to look really nice when you finish it up that's the next
day we've got you guys saw yesterday we got the actual aluminum 4 table in here it's set up just
on some jack stands right now but now we have to put a surface down on this poor table to make sure
that our epoxy isn't gonna stick to it so we just use like this 2 mil thick plastic here it works
really well I think it's it's a type of HDPE which is high-density polyethylene you can get it in
thicker pieces thinner pieces we just need a thin piece because we're putting it on the aluminum we
had to tape a seam in the middle because it doesn't come in a 6-foot wide roll so we've
taped that seam and now we're actually just going around the perimeter and just using tuck tape to
pull this sheet tight so it's gonna be nice and flat and not have too many wrinkles in it after
slub is in the mould you can see it right here we actually ended up building this
mould on our medium-sized poor table that I told you guys about earlier here though if
you turn around this is the new poor table so the only reason we didn't do it on here
is just that that fit better on that table so if we were to put it on this table we'd
be wasting some of our valuable space that one is only a hundred and twelve inches long that
we're going to be pouring today whereas this table is 144 inches long so just make more
sense if we were to try and pour like an 11 or 12-foot table on here instead of like a 9
or 10-foot table just to try and maximize our space we're gonna do this Paul right
now we've calculated our epoxy we're going to mix it up and it's getting a smoky great film
so all these buckets are mixed up two to one ratio there's 10 litres of resident and 5 litres
of hardener in each bucket for we've got four of them so that's a total of 60 litres there
and then this particular client for this table they've requested our smoky gray colour so we
use the black onyx from Black Diamond we use Black Diamond from Black Diamond and then we
also use the black liquid dye from eco poxy you don't have to use Ecopoxy black dye we really
like the Ecopoxy black dye but any other block dye would work for doing this but I would definitely
recommend using the Black Diamond pigments just so you can achieve that same look when I make the
smoky gray I like to do equal parts of the onyx black and the Black Diamond and then like one
or two drops of the black dye honestly we don't have a measurement it we just really go by eye
all right there we go that's the that support the next day now it's been about 20 hours since we did
this poor and the first thing that you'll notice if you were familiar with the way we would set
up our eco poxy pores there's no fans here and no air conditioners underneath the table and that is
simply because we're using the chill deep for if we were still using a different epoxy that didn't
allow for deep pores like this we would have to have two big industrial fans like we've actually
I'll show you guys this real quick that's the kind of fans I'm talking about if you do use a product
besides chill deep or get yourself some fans like that to cool your pour because without those fans
it can set up too fast create bubbles it can crack and it's just not what you want at all
but what we've done no fans on there all we've done is we've used this unit here to control
the temperature in the room we got it set to 21 degrees right now chill recommends the optimum
temperature to be 22 in the room and by setting that to 21 it ends up making it about 22 degrees
in here I know that kind of doesn't make that much sense but it does sit around 22 in here and 20
hours later if we check it out we're at about twenty seven point nine we're right around 28
degrees for this pour so that's really good the only time when it becomes a problem is if your
temperature exceeds let's say 50 to 60 degrees then it's going to set up too quickly but being
right around 27 to 30 degrees that's perfect so this will sit in here for probably about five
to seven days we'll take it out we'll be able to machine it sand it cut it and finish up our work
on this piece but that's it for this week everyone I really hope you enjoyed this video I just wanted
to explain you know the benefits of chill and sort of our new process of building a ball so
I hope you guys have a really good understanding of the start to finish process of mold making and
then actually doing the physical for that was kind of our goal with this video thank you for watching
if you want to be able to follow the process of this table make sure you go check our Instagram
that that'll be the best way to see live updates you probably might still get to see it here in a
YouTube video at some point but Instagram is the quickest way to see things and one more thing
before we end this week's video that we wanted to ask you guys about and get your input is t-shirts
and apparel we have been thinking about releasing you know sort of some limited lines of t-shirts
or maybe hoodies for a while now but we want to get some input from you guys so would you rather
see t-shirts or hoodies what kind of colors do you want big logos small logos let us know
anything you want to see in t-shirts and we're gonna take your guys input and get some ordered
up but thanks for watching the video this week we really appreciate it we'll see you next week
