UV resin with the ice
We did something like this as children. We used wax milk cartons a wick and crushed ice p0uring hot wax over it drained water out peeled carton you had an ice candle.
Would resin ashtrays work? Or will the cigarettes melt the resin? Basically im asking if its harder than typical plastic or is it typical plastic?
You found a way to turn resin into something that can be hand molded (in smaller quantities)! How interesting!
I am dying lol😂😂😂 I do feel bad for that Smurf you killed. 😢
😂 Connie you crack me up
🤣
put some googlyeyes on it ;)
*** Disclaimer: No Smurfs were harmed in the making of this video!***
😹😹😹
Garden sculpture. Put a disk of wood under with a dowel in the centre, and then populate it with resin mushrooms and gnomes. Bummer it didn't go as planned, but, um, content for the channel!
Yes, that was my first thought too. Maybe add a ring of leds inside pointing down to illuminate the magic critters.
Another thought was to turn it upside down and use it as some sort of mysterious meeting place. Like in Indiana Jones Crystal Skull where the aliens appear.
The blobs which were the legs are are now mystical clouds/haze emanating from the structure. Wooo
PS your thumbnail is in Fahrenheit. Tut tut. Are you banana benders imperial?
I like this idea best.
@@petertryndoch8857 I agree, Kelvins are the only acceptable units of thermal measurement!
I thought you should have put it icey side down
Love this idea ❤
There's a sculptor who cures resin in a freezer, but he's doing super deep pours that would overheat otherwise, and it's in there for 2+ weeks.
Are you talking about BM sculptures?
and there's no water involved. water+resin=disaster
@@lechatbotte. That's the one!
@@lechatbotte.I love his videos. His wood and resin sculptures are always so awesome
@@RandomBogey he’s amazing. I love what he does with bike tires too
It definitely would make a neat arctic themed ice cave ambient lamp
Every time you have a bit of resin left over during a project, pour it on top of the sculpture. I have seen paint spires like that, pretty cool.
As a concept, you'd need something that stays solid at curing temp but could then be melted without affecting the resin. Beyond that, you're working with items that could either be removed after (like balls or balloons) or casting clear resin that would serve as an artificial void in a container while colored resin seeps into the negative space. That latter idea would result in a solid chunk that gave the appearance of holes -- of a kind, anyway.
I wonder what would happen if you used cubes of wax? On a really hot day, I think that paraffin would melt out, but beeswax would be more of a sure thing.
I was wondering the same. They could use a heat gun to melt out wax too. And the Artcast resin curing gets into the melting temperature range of paraffin wax also, so it might work a bit more like they were hoping this would.
Yeah I think that would work well 😊
The waxes used by jewellers for carving are worth a look and can take higher temps before they melt.
It makes me happy to see you two enjoying one another's company 😊
You just made a... "Thing". What a beautiful ... "Thing" you've got there!
It's a bit like a tutorial for serial killer and his apprentice, first take a towel, then beat it with a mallet, then grab the sticky tape.... oooh.... great content as always guys... it's like a table lamp for John Carpenter's "The Thing"
The Thing was my first thought too
Damn you laws of thermodynamics!!
EvanandKaitlin did a large pour and put it in a fridge to cure. Maybe if you did a fridge with low temp wax and after the cure just warm up the oven or use a hair dryer to drip the wax out
@@Boogie_the_catI am so with you on this. I also stopped watching them 😬 x
I think the way to flip the sheet of resin would have been to get another mat for under the containers, then flip the whole resined mat and let it drip down naturally
Agree
I would turn it upside down and plant something in it. That was hilarious and I actually think the end result wasn't awful - loved hearing you and Nicole laugh :)
😂 Thanks Lisa!!
Turn the blob into one of your Star Wars diorama. Dome side up.
I had same idea.
I actually really liked it upside-down, the bits that dripped to the table looked like lily pads and the whole thing made me think of like a pond diorama or a terrarium
I liked it better that way as well. I thought the feet looked like trees, and I thought I'd make some sort of wild life scene out of it. But your pond idea is cute too.👍🏻😊
A fun experiment. Glad to see yall both having fun, even if it didn't turn out like you originally wanted. It makes me think of a jellyfish. Would be a neat nightstand lamp, or if those drips/legs were stable and strong enough, could even be a kids stool or chair.
lol Nicole “tada” 😂
How about using a large bag of clear marbles instead of ice??? (coat them with a thick few layers of that spray release for silicone moulds)! Also wouldn't making a bag out of Aluminium foil work better? (I'm fairly certain at least on the shiny side of aluminium that it will peel off the resin easy) Or coat the inside of the bag with the release spray. ALSO I've seen other CZcamsrs use Orbeez in a container then pour resin in. (Use one with a lid so you can mix it) Or put them inside a large balloon add water let them expand then add resin....
That was a fantastic video! I was engrossed with every step. I honestly think we'd all probably watch you two watching tv if it was our only choice. 😂 Thank you for making my saturday morning great for the umpteenth time. 😘😘😘😘
Thanks Julie-Ann we appreciate you 😊
I think the lamp shade is the way to go.
The Blob lamp shade
Brilliant video "Ben tackles the blob from Mars and wins" So glad you're going to have another go 🤣😂 it could be light idea, that'd be cool. Thank so much 👍👏
I like how ot turned out. It looks like an Ice Glacier. When you had it upside down, I thought that it looked like it belonged in a coral reef. Shame it didn't work the way you hoped, but still got something nifty at the end.
This one had me laughing. Watching the ice and resin melt was actually really cool. I'd definitely go with the light underneath and a nice base. I am sad to see that the rubix ball is going to be gone. I always enjoy seeing it make an appearance. Awesome video 👍
Thanks Mark! I have been making a few Rubik’s balls lately 😊
I know Hammerbarn only exists in Bluey, but I'd love to see Ben and Nicole sponsored by Hammerbarn !!
Theres actually a place in Brisbane, Queenlands in Australia which Hammerbarn was mainly inspired by; its called Bunnings Keperra
And fun fact last month, they did a redesign of 7 of their stores in collab with Bluey, where they made it look more like Hammerbarn does :3
@@SylviaRustyFaeIf it's past the Flamingos, you've gone too far
@SylviaRustyFae "She's stolen my husband ....." ( that line cracked me up )
That is the best laugh I have had all day🤣I loved watching and hope you can get it to work another time.
My husband and I really enjoyed this video because you acted like we would have if we had tried this. All the laughing is great!!! put 2 grooves in it and call it an ashtray. lol
LOL I'm dying! I was absolutely giggling for the last quarter of this video! You guys are hilarious, and I adore you! Keep bringing us these videos! Thanks for the laugh!
At least you both laughed and had fun.
Well that was fun and very interesting! I was cracking up over the stickiness! In the end it came out really cool looking. I think it would look really cool with some sort of light in it.
Nicole is right with "at least you are giving the viewers a laugh"! LOL this was so much fun to watch, even if he experiment failed
Alien Spaceship! Lol, that was a good one!
Thanks Linda 😊
" It just squirted ahahah" Brilliant you two thank you for sharing!
I wonder if a small scale try with UV resin would work? Also I keep wondering what a burlap egg or bowl or what ever would look like....
Love watching the two of you working together.
Lampshade would be really cool, I bet that would cast some awesome shadows. It kinda reminds me of like an ice level from a video game, so maybe it could be a case of bringing the ice back in through the design if not the actual ice itself? Either way, interesting video even if it didn't go as planned
A sculpture, yes.
But more for a small pond, the fish would use it as a sun shelter.
As for your cake stand idea Ben. You could add a thin leveling layer. Either clear or maybe pale green. Add some structural support wood, resin, stone, etc..
Plus, you could always add lighting effects either way.
Just my thoughts.
Btw, Nicole, yes, this video made me laugh.
Cheers mates.
I think that I was right when I said that was a bad idea to begin with. However, I love that you experimented and especially that you have such a wonderful attitude about everything.
Oops! 😅 Thank you for the laugh. It was a great idea though!! I likes your idea of a lamp. You could use it as a small table. It could be a decorative bowl. What ever you guys decide, will be great. 🤗💜
Thanks Mel 😊
This made me laugh so hard!!😂❤
OMG... I love this. And I love you both fopr sharing this experiment with us!
Thankyou
Haven't laughed like that in ages so good . Well its different and definitely one of a kind
BEST to do it with silicon or shomting faster curing that produce less heat. then use that mold for epoxy
Made me giggle so much!!!! I love it!!! 😂
I think the arc resin would be cool to do this in, because it cures way faster! You could add some wood to the failed pour, and turn it into a lamp somehow!
It’s great to see you both having fun.
Even with a “failed” experiment.
🤣😂love how you both give it a go and can laugh
I love it! It’s very very different than anything I’ve ever seen before. It was a lot of fun watching your experiment!!
It's a blue footed blobby! Just needs a couple of googly eyes and a big orange beak! 😅 That was so much fun!
I LOVE your projects!
Great experiment, still made something nice. Also, you learned something new, I'd say it's a win.
It’s like taffy! 😂😂😂😂❤ A lamp would be cool.
That was fun!!! We need more like this
Beautiful work as always, this one you just have to squint a bit harder 🤣 what a fun episode.
Love that sculpture.
Thank you for the laughs guys. I will most definitely be subscribing to you 😂
Thanks guys that was the best laugh we had all week.
maybe try something like Algenate. it holds a shape real well, but it will dry out and shrink. maybe something like that can help with getting some of the desired shapes you were hoping for?
Oh my I can’t stop laughing … what a great experiment I would never guessed this would cure mixed with water lol … lovely to see Nicole and pooch ya make a great team …. More like this please Ben .. hehehe 😂 x
Looks like a physical piece for a D&D table top session, like a frozen cave entrance with icicles to beckon adventurers to its icy depths. You could light it up for that extra ambience. Alternatively it could be a fancy icy themed diorama/lamp with polar bears/Christmas and such. It would need an icy/snowy floor to sit on.
Looks cool maybe put a night light in it or maybe some things for ur garden
OMG 😂 that's so funny
Hey at least you made a sculpture 😁😉
A light underneath could be awesome. A thought I had was to bore a bowl into the top. Put a wire in between and resin yourself a flame to put in the top. Assemble and you could make a large close up of a candle
Oh you guys had me in fits of laughter! So funny 😂 I love it!!!
honestly I love the shape it left, I havent a clue what to do with it, maybe put a light in it for a cute lamp. and next time use the freezer any time you have a lot of resin in a pot so it doesnt cure to quickly, its great to prevent layer lines!
I instantly thought "floating island sculpture". Put a small island on the top, maybe a fisher man or sailor, maybe add some clouds near the bottom, and put on a see through plinth.
I'm surprised it still cured in the end. Resin tends to not like water, but the fact it still cured after the ice cubes melted is amazing!
Hmmm…Easter is on my birthday this year & since it’s my 50th, I think I might treat myself to a gift from your store!🤔🥳
Edit: This was a really fun video! I think that it would make a cool lamp shade.
it looks like you made a base for a 3d map of Terry Pratchett's Discworld to me - add 4 elephants underneath, and stand the whole thing on the back of a turtle!
Thank you... I needed a laugh today. 😂
Woo that was a proper mess haha!
OH my goodness I can't quit laughing 😅. This is the best and funniest resin art fell I've ever seen. 2:30 am and I'm laughing out loud so bad that my husband came in asking me what I was watching 😅. Thank You so much for sharing! You've made my day 😂. PS the color is pretty 😍.
😂
I can't believe it set even though you mixed water in with it insane 🤯 Cool experiment!
I would so put in in a pond with a light under it. It looks cool to me . Was fun to watch. Tyfs my friends 😊
Lol!! That was fun! I thought it kinda looked like the slime from Aliens. If you wanted a creepy, slimy cake, that would be a cool cake stand.
i actually love it, the reason being i could use that for terrain in tabletop wargaming like warhammer. thank you for the idea i think im going to do this
Got the key ring omg can't wait!! Love you guys ❤
Thankyou
It's a thing that things real good, if ya ask me!
NOT a fail! I would use it as a bowl for candy. Candles on the leg/plateau parts would be pretty. Glue a little candle holder on those legs and put a big candle in the middle. I would love to see that.
Thanks Lynn 😊
I used to make candles with this method when I was younger, put a wick in the middle and pour melted wax on the ice, the ice would cool down and set the wax then melt away.
This was lots of fun! 😂
Thanks for the laugh!! Enjoy your masterpiece!!
I think you should pour a pretty thin layer into the bottom to stabilize the shape and then do like Nicole suggested and make a cake stand. A nice black support in the interior center would look classy and you could level off the top that formed around the bowl, then give it a food-safe coating.
Just ordered the glow heart. Can't wait to see it.
Thanks Lisa! We really appreciate it 😊
😂 loved the sticky resin part
another great video, so love watching you two! was not able to get my self an egg, but did get some items for gifts for my son and sister !
Thankyou 😊
What I would do is use it as a display tables for some of your other projects.
You now have something no one else has! 😂
A tip for breaking up the ice in bags,instead of whacking it with something,just drop the bag on its side on the table/counter/ground a few times from 12"-24" height
Team work makes the dream work👍
Add a light under it and ghost eyes along with a ghost busters logo. Cool ectoplasm ghost wall decoration.
The gig master did something similar to this, he got a metal trashcan full of loose ice and poured molten aluminum in, got several in one batch of ice.
It looked so much like taffy when it was soft, and because Ghostbusters is coming out soon the hardened form reminded me of the slime from the movies just blue.
awesome lamp!!!!
You know what might be really cool? Create containers of different colored resins (maybe use veggie oil on the inside of the containers to keep it from sticking), and put the containers in the freezer to get the resin to turn taffy like, then stretch out the different colors and lay them over each other.
Then roll it up and stretch it out to get the different colors to swirl and put the whole blob into a container so that it can settle and set.
You could turn it into a lightshade for a battery operated light that has a remote control and hang it on the ceiling. I got a good laugh watching you try to work with it when you brought back inside.
Definitely abstract art 😅
Maybe add more resin, like leftovers and make it more drippy.
Also maybe try using something like orbies or something else that will shrink in time 💡
That is an Excellent result for an expearament.. Give each other a pat on the back!! Thank you for sharing your time your awesome talent and your adventure.👍🤟🪡🎨
Beauty in the eye of the beholder.
Chuck a light under it. Could look cool in the garden....or a fish pond lol
I didn't know you guys were going to make taffy. 😂
