Making a SNOW GLOBE using Ice ? ➡️ ruclips.net/video/x4_MXZtUa8s/видео.html
Could you experiment with cd's or other holographic things making molds and pouring resin in it i think it would make an awesome colorfull design for a backbround or something
consider degassing the water before you make an ice cube with it.
Do it with Dry Ice (CO2) instead wet Ice !
@@Weird_Jabby background*
What about freezing a little sailboat in ice, cast it in resin and then have sort of a "ship in a bottle" with the boat floating on liquid water??
This guy has such a reassuring voice, its like “the resin may explode, but we will have to see what happens” no worries at all
He sounds like Meek from Thor!!
@@christianfelix1580 i think you meant korg, because i thought of the same thing
Good eye might
Like korg from thor
Aussies. 👍
That is fascinating. I'm surprised it cured since I know water and resin generally don't mix.
Also, freeze a tiny sailboat in an ice cube. Put a new spin on ship in a bottle.
Yeah I was surprised too
Or a submarine.
Good idea 👍
I'd love to see the tiny sailboat, that sounds adorable haha
Ooh, or a miniature of the Titantic?!
3D print a tiny ship. Get large flat bottom cube and cast upside down so that when it thaws it makes a dome shape with a body of water for the ship. Dye the water light blue before you freeze it.
That's a really cool idea! A tiny pirate ship might be the coolest but an old battle ship or aircraft carrier or sub would be really cool too. Great idea.
@@goodcitizen3780 a benchy would be even better if any 3d printing hobbyist are here
Incredible.
Came down to see if somebody suggested this. I am not disappointed! :)
Ask Banksy if he wants to be put in epoxy!
actually, freezing objects and then casting them in resin so they float around sounds like a really good idea.
sounds like a snowglobe (and those charm things) with extra steps
I love how Aussies always sound like they're trying to ask a question
He sounds half kiwi to me.
He sounds like a kiwi.
I'm an Aussie living in NZ and to me he doesn't sound Kiwi at all
@@jamesross4593
Im a kiwi living in nz and he does! Different opinions i guess?
"Eh man, I'm Korg, this is Miek, we're gonna jump on that spaceship and get outta here, wanna come" -Korg, Thor: Ragnarok. Sounds pretty Kiwi to me.
I wanna see those resin shavings collected over several projects and turned into something as a whole project of its own lol
peter brown actually addressed this in one of his videos, the shavings just turn clear and don’t show in a casting regardless of the dye put into the resin :/
@@silenceellis8986 still, recycling
@@silenceellis8986 just dye the shavings
Years ago I did lots of work with resin. First, depending on the resin hardening reaction to whether it is endothermic or exothermic. In the case of an exothermic reaction, no possible way to keep the ice cube frozen. In the case of an endothermic reaction, it MIGHT stay frozen, but only if you keep the entire casting below 0 degrees Celsius.
Putting it in the freezer while it cures could stop the resin from curing at all. Most resins have a set temperature. An exothermic resin would have to be given a LOT of catalyst if you put it in the freezer, and then it would give off so much heat the ice cube would melt. An endothermic resin... it depends on if it could set at that low of a temperature I guess. But, once the endothermic resin rises above 0C, it will melt.
You also have to take in to account that ice is expanded, even if it is clear. So, if you got no bubbles in there, you'll probably end up with some vacuum space when it melts and/or some of the still dissolved gasses trapped in the "clear" ice that you just can see.
damn this was so interesting to read /gen
What would happen if you took water with no air bubblies, put it in resin and then tried to freeze it? There wouldn't be room for the water to expand to ice, so would it remain liquid?
@@winstonsmith6607 it would crack the resin at any weak point
a tip for testing the resin to see when it's ready without introducing bubbles, when you mix up your resin, mix up a bit extra and pour it into a second container, you can use that second container of resin as your tester leaving your main resin pristine and for when you're ready to add the object
That's pretty smart
They would cure at different rates if they’re not the same amount in the same sized container.
Wow the algorithm is working faster now. Usually I'd get to see stuff like this after 8 years.
@RUclips [Help] 😳
COVID had us watch everything else already so now the algorithm is guessing.
@RUclips [Help] thank yoh for trying your best to fix the wlgorithm. Think kind of stuff always interests me :)
I hate the algorithm. Feels like it's locking my curious mind down.
🤣🤣🤣 right I was surprised to see posted a few weeks ago
let’s just admit it, the most satisfying part of this video is when he shapes it into a perfect sphere
No shit

@@imacommenter1255 no shit, no one "needs" to be rude. Sometimes, it's for comedic effect. Have a nice day.
@@skullcrusade3436 well considering it was the only reply I imagine that could have made the op feel bad and it was unnecessary. I understand people have different senses of humor but I think people really ought to consider how it will affect other people first
@@imacommenter1255 all good
Great experiment. Challenge is water is one of the few fluids that has the unique property of expanding when frozen. There will always become an air gap if any air is trapped in the ice.
This
I don't know if this has already been mentioned but if you boil water before freezing it you'll get some real clear ice cubes
I know this is an old comment, but it's not just boiled water it has to be boiled distilled water that may or may not help the water to be clearer, that or RO treated water. Even then it relys one the method you use to freeze the water. So weather you use either of the two types of water if you use the traditional ice cube trays, it's a lot harder to make clear ice cucbes.
You should get a tiny fish toy and freeze that in the ice cube!
Why?
@@rexxior8 Cuz it'll look cute and cool
Not a real one!
@@erinevans3180 Well obviously the real one would've rot and it wouldn't look pretty at all. Plus real fish ain't toys, they're living beings.
Use a goldfish crackers
The logical side of my brain: "Epoxy resin is cured during an exothermic reaction, it creates heat and therefore will melt the ice." The bored side of my brain: "Shut up I want to watch this." So now I am here.
Same. Also logic is telling me that “resin and water never react well to each other.” But bored is saying “but maybe it won’t this time.”
Well thanks for spoiling it for the non smart people lol😂
@@savvy4272 we didn’t spoil anything! Watch the video
@@savvy4272 Hey sorry but stupid people are ruining everything else so why not LMAO.
literally, me seeing this video on my recommended "obviously not the resin will get hot and melt the ice" also me watching it anyway
Use a colored oil with color water, so it shakes to a new color: like yellow oil with red water to make orange..
Getting blue oil might be tricky...
candy dyes will dye mineral oil and regular food coloring for water.
Would be cool to see heavier glitters in oil..the glitter moves slower in oil- probably freeze glitter oil cubes- there are ice trays which make spherical cubes.
This was so cool!
Thanks!!
Your videos are always so calming to watch and you’re such a talented crafter. Absolutely love your channel
Put it back into the freezer and see if the water forms back to the same piece of ice.
Yes
Why wouldn’t it...
YESSSS!!! This would be an interesting experiment. As it transitions from liquid to solid, it would be interesting to see whether it would crack, since it seemed like there was some air inside.
@@Darknesssleeps because the cube wouldn't fit inside the whole mold, given the fact that some of the water had evaporated and isn't inside the ball anymore due to some of the bubbles he made, you can see it when he shakes it around that there's definitely not enough water on the inside to fill the whole mold back up to it's original form
@@harleyrexun5310 dumb answer, it wouldn’t because a good portion of the water is evaporated
It's 1am I'm thirsty and that resin is starting to look *real* thirst quenching
Edit: it's been four nights I'm thirsty again

Pen is small
I scraped all my resin :.(
@justan idiot that’s only about $15 worth of epoxy
I just hope that this resin doesn't end up on a landfill or the ocean in the future since resin doesn't biodegrade

And it didnt take too much scrolling down to find the result of that line...
I was looking for this comment hahaha
@@AuroraSinclair same lol
This looks like so much fun!
to make clear ice, you need to remove the air from the water before freezing it. For home, that would be boiling the water to remove all gas first, then freeze quickly as possible.
I absolutely want to see a little boat or ship frozen in ice and cast in resin, so you can have a sealed up mini-ocean.
That sounds awesome lol absolutely gonna try this sometime
Model builders do stuff like that in dioramas.
Yes.
@@Kodaiva in resin?

@@midleno8364 get away from me...far away
@@noreenclaire_ I’m not wrong tho 😂
Theoretically, if you stuck that in the freezer, the water would retake it's previous shape and the loose water in it would swell to its original size
This was really cool Ben!
You know, that idea would make for a great door knob. You know how the old style knobs looked made from glass? Well, this would look even nicer using ice, or even some food coloring in the water then place in the freezer before dunking it into resin.
Cookie decorator's pro-tip: Use a pointed implement such a metal skewer instead of a blunt, rounded object like a popsicle stick if you wish to avoid the creation of bubbles. This is similar to the way in which one deals with bubbles in royal icing.
@@mallekadalov7276
He specifically made note of the creation of undesired bubbles during the part of the video where he was inserting the cube into the epoxy. I had a simple solution to this problem, so I posted it.
As to your second "point;" this is just how I speak, and to my mind, it's a lot easier to read than your string of needless abbreviations of three letter words: the hallmark of a simple mind; so while I don't know for certain why you feel the need to shame people for their means of self-expression; I'd guess insecurity, most likely.
I'd be lying, though, if I said it would be anything other than an egregious waste of my time to sit here and attempt to psychoanalyze some sawed-off dickless little nothing on the internet. So have a nice day, Dickless.
For the record, I'm team Johnny in this dispute. Complete sentences are good, and the statement at issue was correct.
@@mallekadalov7276 uhhh, but he didn't get rid of all those extra bubbles, they are very clearly in the polished ball at the end... You couldn't be more wrong. 6:46 btw, is the perfect shot of those bubbles he got rid of apparently.
@@TheGauges420 lol. Looks like they’re from the icecube to me. Do you know how those vacuums work?
@@TheGauges420 funny enough he actually SAYS the bubbles are from the icecube at the very time stamp you sent sooooo
You should get an ice ball mold and fill it half way and put a small rubber duck in it then freeze it so its in the middle then fill it fully and freeze it again then put it in resin and shape it into a sphere and let the ice melt inside so the duck will float around in the water inside the resin sphere
Nice idea mate 👍
@@BensWorx you should boil the water first to prevent air from vorming bubbles also Nice vid
@@starwolfcutie7466 im trying to remember what the official way of making clear ice is i think you have to have a pump to keep the water recirculating but yeah i think boiling can help a little
@@Sarge92 look up directional freezing
Ooh legend 🤯
Okay … that is the coolest one yet! ❤❤❤
Love the concept
definitely should use food coloring on a batch of ice cubes, then use an opposing color for the resin
That was interesting. 🙂👍

wait you have a crap ton of subscribers for making resin, why would yo... nvm
This is how big youtubers start, interesting content +, pure curiosity +, nice dude +.
With hydrogen bonding we can assume that ice would take up more space than water would. It should sink the epoxy as it starts melting or just leave a cavity partially filled with water.
Scientists in the future: Oh look, an artifact from an alien civilisation. It even got some liquid specimen inside it!

@@spacecadet_01 not specific at all..... Like is it sperm? Is it bacteria? Is it tartigrades? Is it monkey shit?
my sleepy ass misread that as liquid semen
To be honest, I think the bubbles actually looked pretty good with the ice cube, like it had just been dropped in
I'd imagine this would be pretty cool if you used a cool mold for the ice cube. Maybe the like sailor moon ones? Then you'd have a cool crystal inside the resin with water in it
I was not expecting this!
“Ice cube, are you ok?”
“Yesn’t.”
💀
That turned out better than I expected. I'm guessing that when you cut open that egg, you're going to wish you hadn't.

“Guess we’re about to find out.” My solid life motto.🤣
What if you freeze it again? Would the ice expand and trapped air be put under pressure and fracture the resin or would the new ice just take up the same volume that the original ice did?
Asking the right questions here
Same volume. If there is no shrinkage from the resin and it is not porous you should experience no cracking.
I dont think anything would happen, im pretty sure when the cube melts it just creates a vacuum where the air pockets would be, so theres no extra space taken up.
@@teknoreaper9232 but that ice cube was definitely airated, so there has to be air. i’m just not sure if the ice cube refrozen would become the exact same % airated, or if it would expand, not take up all the air, and end up with a larger volume than before.
@@m-aj-or i see what youre saying. I would assume that it would take more energy to refreeze and push all that air outwards than it would for the ice to just take in the air again.
One word.... AMAZING !!!!!
great you inspired me to freeze aquatic plants 🌱 and do what you did 🙏🏽
What could be cool, you can basically make a sort of snow globe with this: take a large enough round clear ice cube made with some glitter frozen in it, maybe a small figurine, same process you did here. Could be neat.
It's be kid-friendly too since resin is much harder to break than glass.
You could just use a balloon to create a cavity in a sphere then just seal it once you fill it with water, kind of silly to use an ice cube since resin creates heat as it sets and obviously melts the ice so would make horridly varying centers.
"I got this clear stick to push it down"
*Jams ice to middle with big, wooden stick*
I like it.
Amazing work!!!
Was excited about the idea to use the clear rod :( you swapped to the popsicle stick on us instead I wondered if you’d had used the small stick to gently force it down as well as freeze it if it’d come out perfect.. either way I was surprised to see how it came out. Thanks for the vid
the volume of ice will always be greater than the same amount of water so even if you cured it while it was cold, it would still slosh around when set back to room temperature, that being said, the potential for this to be like a snowglobe is fascinating
One thing to remember is that water is at it's densest state when it's liquid, so you're very likely going to get an air pocket, or cause some structural strain whenever an ice cube melts here.
Well you say air pocket but its not really air its a vacuum pocket (with a little air) or just low pressure air
@@sora2534 The water can evaporate inside, so the air will be at the vapour pressure of water, which is about a quarter of atmospheric pressure.
I love this one!
Wow this seems like an amazing way to preserve ice glacier samples.
So this is basically how you make a simple one step snowglobe? 👀👀👀
My question is will it last or will it melt 🤔 kinda surprised he didn't have to spray it with water to keep it cool while sanding/polishing...still really cool 😎
Simple one step 💀
@@SandiegoChapo it already melted way before he started sanding tho?
@@SandiegoChapo The ice already melted, the reason why it looks like its still there is because the resin set to the shape of the ice cube before it was completely melted. That's why when he moves it around you can see the water moving.
@@chadachi3970 Ahhhhhhh I didn't even notice that...Good eye 👁️👍🏽
Bro you must've been deep in sleep and waking up in a cold sweat like .....I have an idea 💡
Oh wow, I thought for sure the ice cube would float. Now to watch the rest of the video.
WOW this is so cool !!
