As a father of four kids, I am jealous of your refrigerator space to be able to put a chunk of resin in it. I’m over here playing Tetris to get my subway sandwich to fit. Lol
@@JadeCC92 My mum used to have a US sized fridge when I was younger, man was it nice. Entire turkey fit easy at Christmas. Only downside was the space it took up.
Just to add as a warning never put resin objects or any chemicals in a fridge where you keep food or consumables in general like they did. Once you done that then that fridge is history also you too consuming or inhaling stuff being around it. I dont want to even imagine all that leaking in a fridge. Granted it wasnt any better that it leaked inside their closet either contaminating everything in there ...
Said it before: when things rot, the bacteria eating the organic material releases gasses, which are pushing the resin, and now the mineral oil, out of Chunk 2's prison. The Pumpkin that flash cured might be staying pristine because the heat killed all the bacteria. High temperatures are used to sanitize medical equipment.
Hm. I wonder if you leave a lil opening on the top for the gasses to escape on their own, would Chunk 2 still leak? The problem with that is letting him rot. Though, it may not be by much, since he is in resin
i thhiught the same thing!! but the ending implies the continuous bubbles might be because of the leak! it was just too small to notice until they left it for 10 days
@@Rosie-yt8nd the leak was due to the two thread taps they added i think, but the pumpkin was rotting and producing gas before that since it was buldging
So I have a thought. I know flower dessicants exist to kind of preserve flowers, and I've heard about the water molecules being replaced by silicone can also add a flexibility and preservation to stuff like coral. I imagine a pumpkin has way too much water content for something like that, but at this stage, could heating the resin and adding a desiccant or silicone help?
I love that nigel is like "you could do it with salt water and a bit of germicide" and they went "well we found this chemical on amazon for cheap" and he was like "oh dip, go for it"
Right? And then they used their preservative briefly before getting rid of that too in favor of mineral oil, which is doing nothing to kill the bacteria or mold that it causing the issue
@kevinwells9751 I'm pretty sure they made a 1% solution woth both water and then mineral oil. Problem is I don't think that germicide is diffusing through the flesh of the pumpkin
I don't think logic is their strong suit, considering how much chemistry/physics/biology is going over their heads in this video haha. Personal favourite was them being completely dumbfounded by their accidental siphon that was pulling air into the open end
THIS YEAR. You must take a pumpkin to a Taxidermy Specialist, and ask them to FREEZE DRY ONE. THEN do your resin Dance!!! Yes. They will laugh when you ask them to do this, but they WILL help you. I guarantee it. Specially for a sponsor spot lol.
out of those two, Chunk 1 is still my favourite. He might not be encased in a perfect cube like Chunk 2, but he looks like he is trapped in an ice cube. I think that's pretty cool
"Have you considered adding a pressure gauge and blow-off valve and/or expansion tank to your pumpkin" is not a sentence I ever thought I would use. Yet here we are.
Hahaha I REALLY should have! Would have been smart, safe, and actually super cool. We talked about it some in our supporter aftershow but definitely some lessons learned. The extra sad thing is that I had all of those already in my spare parts area
@@EvanAndKatelyn An airlock used in brewing would've probably been best, since it would allow air to rise out without any air pressure forming. It seems like you were basically fermenting the pumpkin in a resin container.
wait WAHT! A collab with Nigel?! I am so freakin' pumped for this! Two of my favorite tubers joining forces is always a pleasure, and I for sure never saw this one coming! HUZZAH!!
LOL. The "ehh" comment is so relatable. When you work with hazardous chemicals all the time, your thought process really goes to there's always something more dangerous than that 😂.
I horrified some apprentice lab technicians a few years ago, as they apparently use 1-3% solutions of sodium hydroxide for whatever they do, and were super careful about it, and then I mentioned that I use 35% solutions of the stuff for soapmaking! I mean, of course it will horribly disfigure me if I got it on my skin and fail to immediately rinse it extremely thoroughly, the hydroxide doesn't care if the oil is human tallow or olive oil, it's gonna turn it into soap!
@@Soken50 You're right, I messed up my processed anatomy words! It might be because the word for sebaceous glands in my language is "talgkjertel", "tallow glands", so I assumed the unprocessed fat on top of and in your skin was also called tallow.
"Hey son, heard you had to leave work early, you feeling alright? Whatcha watching?" "Oh yeah I'm fine, watching this couple embalm a pumpkin" My poor mother is baffled.
@@jwjeff11 Can confirm! I bought a watermelon and put it in my cooler on ice because I had more errands to run. COMPLETELY forgot about it for over a week. Let's just say I have a nice NEW cooler! 😅
I genuinely love the look of Chunk (1s) resin block, it looks like he's trapped in ice! Which makes it a very fun decoration, with environmental story telling
While Chunk 2 is wasting away because of his lack of drive, Chunk 1 is thriving. I vote we build a box, sand his surfaces and add a layer of resin to all sides to smooth him out.
Nigel should create a new channel called NilePurple where he offers his chemistry knowledge to people who are doing unhinged things since this interview falls in-between his seriousness on Nile red and his unhinged behavior on Nile blue
I hope you know about Nile Green which was a really unhinged youtube channel with deepfakes of Nile Red, he doesn't do deepfakes anymore and changed the name of the channel to Mr Green, but his chemistry videos are still on the bit unhinged side.
Hey guys! I have some info that might help with the next pumpkin: My dad is a wood worker, specifically he likes turning bowls on a lathe or making pens. Sometimes he uses wood that is partially rotten. Rotten wood, of course, is soft and falls apart, making it unsuitable for turning. He solves this by putting the wood in a vacuum chamber full of a certain resin. Over time in the chamber, the air is sucked out and the voids left behind are replaced by resin, preserving the shape while making it stronger. Someone else uses this technique with vinegar and cucumbers to essentially make instant pickles. This might be a good solution to allow you to fill the pumpkin with some sort of preservative before encasing it.
Chunk 2 is not changing colors, it's light being reflected inside the resin which happens whenever there is something with a lower fractal index between chunk 2 and the resin (like air or gas), water and oil have a higher fractal index so the light can go through as normal and the orange becomes visible from the outside again
My guess is Chunk 1 is fine because of the rapid cure. It sorta pasteurized the pumpkin with the rapid heat meaning there's nothing to decompose it in the resin.
Never to early for fall videos❤ Edit: This year try silica beads in a tub and submerge the pumpkin. This is the technique used to dehydrate flowers, it should dehydrate the pumpkin and not discolor or change it. This is just a theory though! Not sure about it in practice!
I'd try a harvest right freeze dryer. But it would probably have to be cut apart & reassembled. P as well as be as thin as possible. Still don't know if it would even work though.
As an embalmer I would recommend staying away from formaldehyde as it would likely gray out your pumpkin. Unless you used actual embalming chemicals, as many have dye in them, which would probably stain the resin as well. Definitely an interesting thought. Much luck!
Every year I look forward to a new pumpkin video. I do not know why. It brings me such joy. It's a tradition at this point. Please never stop until you have an immortal pumpkin perfectly encased in a beautiful transparent cube.
I remember watching your clear monitor video a long time ago. I now recently rediscovered your videos and I've fallen into this binge-watching loophole. Thank you for providing me with hours of content
Chunk 1 is so pretty because the heat pasteurized him! Maybe you can try with a stronger biocide to kill the stuff that's producing the gas vefore switching to mineral oil or saline :D
Did you remember to putp plumbers tape on the threads before screwing in the plugs? Liquid is tenacious, and there's a reason we put that in showerheads.
i love that the series i have invested myself into over the last 2 years has finally come to a point where another youtuber i binge watch is thrown into the mix
4:09 Up until the Chuck juice exploded, Evan drilling into the block reminded me of the scene from Jurassic Park when it showed how the dino blood was extracted from the mosquitoes.
I follow you guys for a long time and I got to say I think this one is one of the best video you ever made. It’s amazing. I really love to see your journey and your process trough the years.
Wow, it's fascinating to see those close-up shots of drilling into the resin, it makes me realise that I don't think I've ever actually seen anyone drilling into a clear medium like that before.
the only bad thing with this series is the infrequency of updates heh. I think one thing that makes this series so incredibly entertaining is the experimentation and iteration. I would love to see more of those kinds of slightly longer form (though I understand if they are maybe a bit more cumbersome too hahah)
Evan and Katlyn, I have an idea for your next pumpkin in resin experiment! Have you ever considered freeze drying your pumpkin? (or maybe a mini pumpkin for testing). The reason that makes things get moldy is the presence of water, and freeze drying takes all the water in something and turns it into vapor. Also I learned about something called Stabilizing from Peter Brown on youtube in which he made a resin pendant made of bread. He uses this thing called Cactus Juice which is a slow acting heat setting compound that, when used with a pressure pot replaces all the air pockets with the stabilizing resin using a vacuum. So yeah, thats my idea. Freeze dry, stabilize, then pour or encase said pumpkin in resin. No water=no mold and sealed air pockets= no bubbles.
YESSSS! I love Nilered, he makes such nerdy unhinged content. Maybe this year's pumpkin could be a collab? With his chemistry and your skills nothing can go wrong... right? I did not expect those results at the end, of course Chunk 2 had to make things hard as usual. He is that one complicated child we all love despite all the chaos he brings to the shelf 😂
I think this is my new introduction to Evan and Katelyn video I will send folks, it's hilarious and the whole ride is so good. Also that pump needs some googley eyes!
You should make resin discs, barely half an inch thich for future pumpkins. You place them under the pumpkin before you pour, that way you can guarantee you have clear room for sanding/flatening the surface. Like Chunk 1 looks absolutely amazing. Imagine having it cut into flat surfaces like Chunk 2.
Honestly, Nilered being like "Well most chemicals are pretty eh" is so real. If you work with chemicals like that often, you do kinda get that attitude where you aren't really scared of them as long as you know you have taken the proper precautions.
15:08 well My only explanation as how chunk 1 it's still good it's probably couse maybe the heat pruduced bye the resin cook the pumpking Making it harder for it to roten couse it have less liquid inside
Hey I know this is random, but you should really unstring that bow at the end of the video in the closet. Depending how long it's been like that, it might be unusable now. Bows lose their strength when strung in storage for too long. They should only be strung while in active use. Hope that helps!
I am so excited about this I've been following nilered and his other channel Nile blue about as long as you guys have, and I am happy because I love science and your experiments plus this is just a perfect mix and hopefully this works for the best and gets successfully preserved but someday we will have a perfectly preserved pumpkin.

couldnt they sand and polish the sides to make chunk 1 looks like chunk2's prison?
Chunk would be the perfect metaphor of winter overtaking fall.
Whilst chunk 2 represents the hubris and folly of man.
Plus if they are desperate, they can just sand down each face

15:08 well My only explanation as how chunk 1 it's still good it's probably couse maybe the heat pruduced bye the resin cook the pumpking Making it harder for it to roten couse it have less liquid inside
I wonder if the heat from the uncontrolled runaway resin cure is what caused Chunk 1 to stay so fresh looking, functionally pasteurizing the pumpkin
A NILERED COLLAB OH MY GOSH IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS
Hey I know this is random, but you should really unstring that bow at the end of the video in the closet. Depending how long it's been like that, it might be unusable now. Bows lose their strength when strung in storage for too long. They should only be strung while in active use. Hope that helps!
11:09 Do not, I repeat, do NOT close your eyes and listen 😂
I am so excited about this I've been following nilered and his other channel Nile blue about as long as you guys have, and I am happy because I love science and your experiments plus this is just a perfect mix and hopefully this works for the best and gets successfully preserved but someday we will have a perfectly preserved pumpkin.
Never seen somebody put threads in resin with a tap before. I would have assumed it would explode. You did a very good job.
the look she gives the camera at 6:35 is just "my husband is so silly i love him so much" and i'm here for it
Yeah that's a relationship gone right.
i was just thinking about the pumpkins and was excitedly waiting for october
this is a collab i didn’t know i needed
So excited to see this saga continue!
I had to see how the Chunk brothers were made. I'm happy the imperfect boi turned out so beautiful in the future
ahhhhh this is the earliest I've ever been to a youtube video! Love you guy's content and it's been so inspiring for me to do DIY stuff for myself!😁
The collab we never knew we needed.
So true
hey Evan.... WEAR GOGGLES!!! that explosive pumpkin juice could have gone right in your eye
I say more collabs with Nigel! Love him and love you guys! You guys could have so much fun experimenting!!
I wish someone would love me as much as Evan and Katelyn love that pumpkin.
I love the pumpkin saga and watching Evan and Katelyn’s Sisyphean task of trying to conquer death itself
never in my life would i assume your next colab would be with nile red
This crossover feels like the time Jimmy Neutron and Fairly Odd Parents had that trilogy
Great video, I’d love to see yall trying to freeze dry a whole pumpkin before imprisoning him in resin✨
11:23 sometimes you need to turn down the volume on your phone when you are in public.
Tru
I just whached all of the pumpkin videos and then this dropped out 😆
