Look Ma, I'm famous!
Been watching y'all for a looong time, awesome stuff.
Is your middle name Farmer or Gardener so you cover all the food groups? Maybe something more niche like cheesemaker? Everybody loves cheese.
@@TheHighpotinuse What a terrible joke lol. Haven't had to deal with those since elementary school.
@@HunnaBayka What's wrong with cheese?

You should try again but use this stuff called "Cactus Juice." Its a stabalizing resin thats almost as thin as water and is set by baking it rather than a reaction with a hardener. So its only one part and you can vacuum pot a piece for days or weeks to get all the air out, and once you take out the piece to bake the rest of the resin can be reused as much as you want. You only cure whatever gets trapped inside the item and the rest is drained off. After you can set it in normal resin and it blends in with it.
Ask Peter Brown about it, he has used it a bunch and it the only reason I know about it.
This! I was suprised they weren't using stabilizing resin
Agreed. I think cactus juice would have solved some of the problems they had with other resin projects.
I immediately thought of sokka when you said cactus juice
The finished result where the inside core was gone but the outershell remained was so interesting to see. It’s like POV of living in a rubber band ball lol.
Woah crazy to see you here!! Love your ring but I could never afford one myself lol
Talk to the boys and get a piece of this resin Rubber band ball to make a ring
Loved my matching (sorta) Opal rings. Didn't expect them to be so light
Might help to fully submerge the ball in an excess of resin, and then run the vacuum till it stops bubbling. I strongly doubt it was air tight, but it will help if you can get your hands on a lower viscosity resin. Also consider putting it in a pressure pot. I cannot remember if you do or don't have one of those.
Vacume works better for penetrating resin, a pressure pot just SHRINKS air bubbles, it does not get rid of them
It should be possible to make a combination vacuum and pressure pot so that you could alternate cycles of vacuum and pressure. That should get really good penetration into objects you want to cast in resin.
@@hornyducks4090 i am well aware of this. but what happens if you completely submerge the ball in resin and pressurize it? the bubbles shrink which allows the resin to be pushed into the nooks and crannies. of course, youll get better penetration if you pull vacuum for a while, but since they arent working with heat cured stabilizing resin, they have to switch to pressure to get it most of the way there before the resin cures
@@xidarian to be honest, it would be best just to pull a suitable vacuum and then pressurize it for the remaining time, instead of needlessly moving the resin in and out of the rubber band ball. But I do like your enthusiasm!
@@josephgauthier5018 This is the principal behind the reason carbon fiber or kevlar composite components are cured in a autoclave. Pressure forces the resin in.
Do each layer of rubber bands in resin... blue, add resin, wrap yellow around that then add resin, wrap red, add resin... time consuming but it might permeate the layers better so when you cut it you'll have a better cross section.
You guys need to look into using cactus juice stabilizing resin. If you wanted to take the time you could have probably gotten the resin all the way through.
Often RUclips channels have trouble handing off the creative power to a new Creator on the team. I think this was a very good episode to show that Waterjet channel can do that and we like both our new and old hosts!
Wow, I forgot how much curly hair Mitchell had when I first started watching you guys!
sorry, I liked it better when you guys were narrating it yourselves on camera. That was part of the charm. Overproducing them like this kind of takes something away.
Yep, the blue rubber band layer was wrapped extremely tight preventing the epoxy resin from infiltrating. Great as always, and I like the voice over.
false! had they pulled a vacuum long enough to actually pull the air from the middle rather than constantly opening it to torch it, the resin would have been forced in through atmospheric pressure.
electronicsNmore :)
Big Evan and Katelyn vibes. Resin project, giant googley eyes on the machine, that one anime sounding sound effect. Good stuff
Hmmm, I think I'd suggest stabilizing resin. Very thin, doesn't cure until you heat it.
However, idk how well rubber bands would do in the heat.
Not gonna lie I genuinely enjoyed the whole process thus far
8:25 look at that curly hair dude. I hope in the future he doesn't lick and taste everything they cut with the waterjet.
I'm happy to see you caught yourself and added that base layer before the ball. I see a lot of things just like this fail to function because the object sticks out the bottom of the finished piece.
Encase a prince ruperts drop in resin except for the tail then once it's harden snap the tail. Will the resin hold it or will it explode?
Seen it done on another channel. The resin will hold it but the drop will turn to sand inside
@@tsm688 I saw that one. They used tiny ones though. I want to see a big one explode
I miss Dan and Mitchell featuring more heavily in the videos. What happened?
I think dan's narrating but it's so overproduced now it's hard to tell
The background music made this very watchable also im glad to see you put the other half on your shelf 😃
You were young and innocent, now you bully interns. You were the interns
Awesome video! Thanks for making great content! Always fun!
I do it all for you
I greatly appreciate the googly eyes. They really do make everything better!
I've said it once and I shall say it again, Mitchell's sweet perm-eqsue hair can never be matched.
Awesome chanel guys
Btw there is a small flaw with vacuuming the air bubbles out , goal here is to push as much resin as possible through the layers and soak in the resin , soaking action is not happening during the vacuuming action but during the time that you let the air in(all the voids inside the ball is under vacuum and as soon as you relief that it, resin is sucked to those parts) so when you partially submerge it into the resin, those voids that are vacuumed ,suck air from upper part , (air has much less viscosity than resin, it will get in faster than resin) so it is not filled with resin
You should have asked Peter Brown about casting resin. It is thinner than regular resin which allows it to permeate inside what you’re trying to cast. Also a pressure pot would be better than a vacuum chamber.
Next time you decide to destroy some poor glass bowl, try and cover it with tape. So the shards don't fly and make a little "dangerous" mess :)
Love you guys!
*also, nice raycons
i appreciate the hard work for my entertainment.
The slats on the waterjet tank (metal strips that hold up whatever is being cut) have so many little cuts on them they look like sound waves. I wonder if there's any way to turn that into actual sound. Would it be waterjet music?
@Waterjet Channel _Come on 1 Million Subscribers! It won't be long now! My 2 sons and dad (myself) love your channel!_ *Thanks* 👍
First I had to check if I clicked the wrong channel. Got it when I heard Mitchell's voice about half way in.
The last 4 seconds are the best part.
Do a bunch of mini rubber band balls into a bowl or if you wanna make a huge resin rubber band bowl, do a little ball, set it up in a thin layer of resin(use a round mold), build more onto the ball, set that, lather rinse and repeat until your desired creation 🤷🏽♀️ I wish I had the tools to try this out
The editing is 10/10 lmao
Oh wow, I can't believe this channel is so old, you were only 12 years when you started all this!
Solution: Resin each layer of the ball before you start the next.
Final product inside a large plastic tote where the ball is not touching the sides and can float freely. Cut the ball out of the resin.
That's actually an amazing result!
Very neat and soothing!!
these opening monologues sound like you're trying not to wake your mom up at 3am
Cool!
It ended up looking like the album cover for Primal Scream- Screamadelica!
Except the googly eyes were on the water jet machine!
When you got rid of the blue elastics after cutting it in half it looked like a weird boiled egg lol.
You should do it like a micarta layup. Dip the rubber bands in resin and then place them on the ball.
The resin vacuuming was sooo satisfying to watch
OMG who are those small children in the cut scenes? They're practically babies! :D
Sorry Mom! Needed that bowl for my epoxy rubber band ball! LOVED THIS!
you could do a high pressure chamber, instead of a vacuum , that may push the resin in farther
Thank you!!!
For the carrots.
You guys are the best!!!
Starbuck's eye of Jupiter? Gotta rewatch, b back in a month!
DAN'S BACK
It was the googly eyes for me that made me subscribe. 👀
Mitchell is my spirit animal
3:46 is it just me or does the glass shattering play the call of duty black ops 2 zombies theme music
HUGE Sam O’nella vibes with the voiceover
There are no words for how much I hated that carrot crunch shot
Make another one, but encase the blue and polish it, then put the yellow, and then the red encasing each colored layer individually
1:13 to 1:16 is easily the best part of the video
Dude made a rubber band prolapse
11/10
The end of the video! Holy crap it's been a long while since I've been watching you guys (now even bigger team). Love this channel! 🔥
Looks like you will have to redo this but soak each colour of rubber bands in resin and then add the next color of rubber bands
I douubt you'd want to try again, but perhaps instead of a vacuum chamber perhaps curing it in a pressurized chamber might work better.
Young Mitch has Garfunkel vibes goin on
This would be cool to see again where they take and do a epoxy and vacuum treatment to each layer so its all solid
When the core popped out it looked like mr. Fantastic vs the scarlet witch
Lmfao!!!! 5 years ago!?!?!?! More like before puberty!!! Love the Jerry curls!!!
I think using a vacuum bag with infusion resin, and doing multiple layers would have done the trick here. If getting resin to the very center was an absolute requirement for some reason.
Next if you wanted to be super overachiever, you could apply the epoxy as you layer the rubber bands, (though I’m sure that would make it even more boring to make) it would guarantee that the epoxy is all the way through and you wouldn’t have to smash a bowls
Reminded me of a golf ball
Use paste wax it works as a great mold release
Have you tried using pressure instead of vacuum, I find that it's way easier, as you don't have to do any degassing breaks.
I think you guys should try to cut a defused Mortar shell in half next
Beneath the resin, we find some bands.
And beneath the bands...we find...the nucleus.”
― Waterjet probably
keep it up i love your channel and love to watch it grow
One thing that would probably help is to do this inside a cup inside a high pressure pot, and take the pressure above the internal pressure of the rubber band ball. Even if it still doesn't really fix the center it should do a bit better, and going in even a little further quickly reduces the center volume..
I need mitchell the entire video !!!!!! It's not the same 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Speaking of Rubiks cube modification videos, a large Rubiks cube in resin so it wont fall appart. Like as large as will fit in under the waterjet. Like a 9x9 or 11x11 or something.
Also somthing that might be fun it to cut a casting of one of your heads, so maybe a fan could have half of one or both of your heads.
You guys need to try this work Stablizing Resin, it will get into the core much deeper and may have a much better result.
As a Peter Brown fan I got to say you might have had better luck if you would have used a pressure pot to force the resin into the center
I remember when you guys got that water jet, good times.
What if you finished the cast then cut into the center at multiple angles. then filled in the center with new resin in an attempt to saturate and stablize the nucleus. Maybe you could use slightly colored epoxy for the first casting, then encase that oddly shaped layer in a cube of clear
Cool, in five years make a new one but set the core in resin before starting a new layer and repeat for each layers.
You guys should sand one of the halves. Remove the loose rubber, and polish it. That'd be awesome
the end, is that 25 years ago??? HAIR!!! lmao...
Try resining the ball from about 2 inches in diameter, and so on. It may be labor intensive, but might yield the desired results of a nice sectioned rubber ball.
Should use a pressure pot for paint instead of a vacuum chamber, dramatic difference. Good video though
Now do it again but make it with a tube or something in it so the resin gets to the center or maybe just a strait hole with the water jet
That was cool
You might try using a pressure pot to force the resin into the cracks
Maybe you could force the resin deeper with a pressure chamber. Although, I guess suggesting things for past projects is pretty pointless. Accidental alliteration is awesome.
Looks like the Water Jet guys needs a sponsorship from Keeps.
Nice that was really cool 👌
Awesome video as always 👌
it looks like those things they slide on ice in the Olympics 😂😂😂
Make a little blue rubber band ball and resin it. Then wrap the blue resin-infused ball in red rubber bands and resin that. Then wrap the red resin-infused in yellow rubber bands and resin that. Then cut it
It's like a geode made of Juicy Fruit.
Big Peter Brown energy here.
if you make the ball while it's submerged in resin it might work
whats with the narriator change ?
You should try this again but use a pressure pot instead of a vacuum chamber.
Very environmentally-friendly
lol that ending
You could have gone a step further and after the resin cure, drill holes and pore more resin in the holes then vacuum again several times.
You would think that they could afford a pressure chamber to make this easier but oh well
