      Here is an idea,
      Tied the ballon to a fish line and then use UV resin to "glue" the end of the fish line to the bottom of the container, and then fill the recipient with the resing, the balloon will float like and underwater mine but will not came all the way to the top since you have the fish line atached to the bottom of the recipient ,
      i have seen you fighthing against a lot of materials that Float, so instead of try to sink them why not avoid floating or limit it :)
      hope ihis can be usefull for you

    • @thetipsyreader5491

      Another idea, like how you injected the water but use mercury instead

    • @Grivlir
      @Grivlir Před 3 lety

      I've never tried this, but what if you squeezed an orange peel to get some orange oil, put that in an empty pill capsule, put THAT inside the balloon, and then fill the balloon with water. Epoxy the balloon with a lower heat mix, and then when the capsule dissolves in the water (hopefully after the resin is cured) the orange oil will pop the balloon. I don't know the timing or the amount of oil you'd need to get from the orange. Just something I've heard of, that orange oil pops balloons.

  • @douglasjohnson5546

    Perhaps try putting epoxy resin in the ballons. That could keep the shape and have a similar density so it might stay centered easier!

      Resin and Water never mix, without possible “explosive” consequences. So Resin Balloons make much more sense in safety as well as density.

    @RyanTaylor228 Před 3 lety +175

    Use a smaller balloon with just a little bit of water and a much smaller resin pour. suspend the balloon from the bottom of the container with the fishing line so it looks like a balloon on a string. maybe even find a small hand from an action figure to be holding the string. just an idea

      I recommend another suggestion I saw here, in concurrence with this one: fill the balloon with resin, and it should equalize pressure and cause it to float in the center without assistance.

    I bet if you cover the balloon in something nonstick before you put it in the resin, you could get the balloon out of the resin and have just an empty void to fill instead of one with balloon bits in it.

    you should try candle wax, a quick search says it will melt around the 50-70c and boil at 370c. And it has a density lighter than water so it would want to make its way up to the top, so i would suggest pouring some resin throwing the wax in, then covering it with more resin

    If you coated the water balloon with some of that UV resin, do you think it would keep the balloon intact and with the water still in it? Realize it would take a lot of time and UV resin, just curious.

    If it was me, I'd do a half measure of resin, let it cure, then put the water balloon on top with some superglue or some UV resin to stick the balloon to the cured layer. Another thing to consider might be freezing the balloon or giving it a full coating of UV resin to make it more durable and perhaps insulate from the heat of the rest of the resin.

    You need some of Nick's 'float to the bottom' magic 😆 How about pouring a few cm of resin in the bottom of the pot, and letting the balloon sit on the top of it with the knot at the bottom so it gets stuck in the resin? Then you could do another pour on top of it and the balloon would hopefully be held in place by the first pour.
