  One reason why the magnetic stir bars clean off so well is that they are actually coated with PTFE (the stuff in Teflon). When mixing chemicals this ensures that as little of the chemicals stick to the bar as possible and that the bar itself doesn&apos;t react with any of the chemicals. It also helps to reduce friction on the bar, making it easier to stir.

  I really respect how the company reached to the criticism. It also feels like it really pushed them to make a better and more unique product.

  If you use the magnetic stir bars in the future, you can remove them from the resin with another magnet through the side of the cup! might be easier and less disruptive to the resin surface than reaching in with tweezers.

  The resin stir sticks are super easy to clean up if you spray them with isopropyl alcohol as soon as you are done and wipe away with a paper towel. If you wait til it&apos;s cured, it&apos;s a pain to remove the resin from them.

  As a benchtop scientist, those magnetic stir plates are super super useful and reliable. If science companies didn&apos;t inflate their prices so much, I would consider getting one for my home.

  The magnetic mixer combined with the cheaper vacuum could be a win win situation. The cheap vacuum did pull some of the bubbles, and the magnetic mixer produced less bubbles.

  Im actually really impressed by the baby vacuum chamber i work with resin only in small amounts for like dice or charms or jewelry and could never see myself buying a vacuum or pressure chamber bc they are soooo expensive lol the max of what i use is a heat gun so the fact that it actually did that good a job. (the hand mixed control vs the small vacuum) is nice to know some cheaper options actually arent crazy scams

  The price of the vacuum chamber is amazing. If i was a resin home maker then the vacuum chamber that i could get for under £200 and not have to know 100% how it works and have a company that i could get customer sport &nbsp;from is amazing. Also cool that the company had the confidence in the product to reach out.

  It&apos;s refreshing to see a company take some accountability
