Looked great. How about next time, pour one colour of UV resin, harden it, then another colour, harden it, then a third. The second and third pours will intermingle with the previous cavities created too.
You might want to consider marketing this to traditional table top gamers. Thing D&D or Warhammer and the like. This would make for a masterful centerpiece. Especially with the underlighting! And the price would be right, I assure you.
Try water soluble packing peanuts next please! If they have no reaction with the resin you should be able to just rinse them out!
That "dunny roll holder" looked very sketchy 😊😂🤣 🤣 🤣
So glad it wasn’t just me. Ben’s gestures had me screaming, “No!!!” 🤣
Alien "dunny roll holder"... :D
🤭
We have no idea what you mean. 😉😉😉🤣🤣🤣
@@EdwardTCat 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome. Next try that again, with black, keep it in the container, let it dry, fill the void with clear resin, giant EGG!!!
Awesome idea. Would love to see that.
that's what i was thinking too! or maybe instead of just black, experiment with some different colors to see what kind of neat effects you can make
This is a great idea! You can't make the UV resin black though - the UV won't be able to penetrate to harden it. But you can do it with a little pigment like this, then it would look cool with some regular black resin in the bottom, then once it cures, clear to fill it up the rest of the way. I think that would give a really great result.
Came to say basically the same thing
My thought as well, but as others mentioned black won't let the UV through
You should do another one, but use oranges, reds, colors like that to simulate a camp fire! 🤩
Agreed!
Yeah for sure 😊
@@BensWorx I did not expect a reply 😳
Nicole’s briefcase is gorgeous! I love her creativity.
The UV resin sculpture is so cool. It’s a shame the other one failed after looking so good in the early stages!
Thankyou 😊
You are kind of doing the opposite of the ant hill pour. In those pours the ground supports the aluminum that is poured into a void. In your pours there is a void and ice, the ice melts making a much bigger void. You need to surround the ice with something, pour the resin so it melts the ice and the hopefully remove what was originally holding the ice in place.
Man that’s turned out awesome. Funny you thought of a toilet paper holder, that’s not what I was thinking. Lol.
Right? Especially when Ben kept gesturing to it by waving his cupped hand up and down..
😳
😂
The UV resin really worked well, looks beautiful with a light and without one. Looking forward to more experiments with ice and resin.
Thankyou
This turned out Amazing. So glad you revisited this quickly.
So there is a 3D printer filament that dissolves in water. Its used as a support media for prints so that its super easy to remove. Print out a bunch of ice shaped blocks, glue them together, pour resin over them, let it cure, soak it in water
Sounds full proof!
Oooooo, that is smart
Thanks I’ll look into it 👍
There's also salt/sugar. You can get it to bind together into a solid cube, probably using water, and then letting it dry inside an ice cube tray. Maybe use a little flour/cornstarch as a binder.
And there's water-soluble fabric, used as a backing medium in embroidery. Hard to make cubes out of it, but useful for other shapes.
1st off my wife loves the keychain and blue 💙 you guys are awesome, 2nd you gotta do a few more of these videos that turned out amazing!!
Thanks Mate, we really appreciate it 😊
Almost 60 years ago, when I was in the Cub Scouts, I learned to make candles like this using ice, wax, string, and milk cartons (the old paper cartons). came out really nice. Just had to let them dry for several days because the string would absorb water. That was really cool!
It looks like the beginning of a magical tree in a fantasy series.
Love the outcome. Beautiful sculpture
I knew the UV resin was going to work well! Back in the early 1970s, my late father worked at a great, artistic candle making company. And one of the things we loved to do was pour coloured wax over ice cubes, and crushed ice. Much easier to get a similar effect. I got a real pleasant nostalgic memory out of this! If you make another one of these, and it seems kind of flexible, or brittle - you could drizzle more resin over the top of it. Either UV or possibly quick setting resin. Just a thought!
We used to make candles by pouring hot wax over crushed ice. The liquid flows well over crushed ice which melts faster than cubes and it leaves a network of lots of little holes.
WELL DONE! It looks really good!
Thankyou
Thanks to whomever suggested the UV resin. It came out amazing!
That came out awesome, y'all! I have a suggestion for the next one.. Use a neon green, blue or orange dye and set the sculpture on a black light..
Thanks Mike, yeah that would look cool
This is awesome, i see a lot of "fire" eggs and spheres in the future using this technique!
Yess you did it. Looks amazing!
Hi Ben & Nicole, omg it looks brilliant. I'm so happy for you. Great idea with uv. Have a great weekend.
Thanks Rose 😊
Both pieces in this episode would make a wicked fantasy diorama!
That turned out awesome!
Thanks Linda 😊
It is beautiful! The UV resin is just what you needed!
Thankyou
Dude!! Make a resin cast of your hand upturned palm up with a light inside holding that sculpture and it would look like blue wizards fire!! Would be so dope
FYI I thought it looked like blue fire
Woke up and said “A new video from Ben?” A great way to start the day! This is one of my all time favorite channels! Best to you and yours, Ben! 🎉
Thankyou 😊
Yessss! Scale this up big time. More power on uv lights and massive pour
that would look amazing with glow in the dark resin ❤
That roll holder looks very happy to see you
The first attempt looked so much better with the big eyes😂 the final attempt turned out awesome
That looks awesome really looks better then the second try
Thanks Beth 😊
Great result with the UV resin! One other way you can try it (if you feel like doing another one) is to use polyurethane resin. It cures super fast, so it should harden really quickly while the ice is still fully frozen. That way you could do a big one with a full bag of ice like you wanted.
I absolutely love that you don’t give up!
Hey Ben
Huge respect for your success! Very nice to see Nicole in the shop with you.
Take care of Yourselves 😊
Thanks Tim 😊
I can't wait.....!
now do themed ices. :)
That was Was Awesome Ben.
Thankyou
5:52 I like this right as it is! Lol
Now I'll watch the rest of the video and see what you do with it.
omg you did it, you finally did it! it looks amazing for real, even tho the first one can be used as a stand for some figures. outstanding job to nicole as well
Instead of taking it out of the container fill it with clear resin and turn it into a cylinder so it's solid with the blue veined through it. This would also make it less brittle
You could also try using sugar cubes rather than ice cubes with regular resin! Once the resin has cured (assuming the sugar doesn’t mess that up somehow?) you can soak the sculpture in warm water until the sugar dissolves. The sugar would likely leave an interesting surface texture. I think gummy bears or jolly ranchers would work too: anything solid that will dissolve in water will do the trick, I think.
Looks like the UV was a success 👍 loved Nicole’s case 👍😘
Thankyou
That looks great!!
Thankyou
It looks like a bunch of souls being released. Pretty cool 😎
Question/experiment:
If using epoxy resin, can you put, for instance, red in your Part A, and blue in your Part B prior to mixing? That way, when all was purple, you’d have your cookie, and know all was fully mixed!
Yeah if you wanted too
I didn't know you'd revisited this. I kinda figured UV would be the way to go. It looks awesome.
I'm glad you tried with UV!! I would still love to see Water beads in resin! I've only seen videos where it failed. Maybe UV resin is needed! Loved the final piece!
Thankyou
that looks amazing!
Thankyou 😊
dude! congrats on being stubborn enough to get this to work! WORTH EVERY ATTEMPT/EFFORT!!! it looks GREAT!
Thankyou
Looks amazing. Kinda like a bunch of blue demons coming up from hell to dance with some angels in the clouds!
Another good video. Totally unexpected first result 🤣 Second try is amazing wow. Nicole I love the case beautiful work 💖Thank you 👍
Thanks Alison 😊
That's beautiful, congratulations
Holey Shita! I have no more words. I love the UV One. Pretty cool
Thanks Connie 😊
Now I'd like to see you try one with shaped ice cubes! Like the skull ones or something along those lines.
Amazing! I absolutely love all of the galleries. How about the next time try doing the same thing in the blue, but after it fully cures. Fill the container back up with water & freeze it. Then try it again with red, any other color or maybe a glow in the dark. Looking forward to next weeks experiment. God bless & take care. A fan from SE Louisiana, USA.🇺🇸🙏
That looks awesome 🤩
Looks a bit like blue fire 🤔 ice fire 🤩
Fill the voids the clear or translucent white and make it an egg and that would look sick
UV resin sure was the way to go! It's just fantastic! Love it! Nicole is so talented, as well. The little suitcase is adorable. Thank you both for sharing! Take care and stay safe
Thankyou 😊
Thats really neat
Thankyou
That looks awesome.
Just beautiful!
Thanks Lynn 😊
Need to try this again with dry ice ❤❤
you should have poked holes in the bottom of the container for water to drain, but small enough resin wont pour out since its viscosity is higher. a few on the bottom and a few circles around the side for when the resin covers the bottom
You might want to try using large rocksalt crystals instead of ice. If you manage to fuse the rocksalt together in a loose matrix the resin ought to fill in the gaps. After the resin sets, you just soak the thing in water to dissolve away the salt.
The UV resin one reminds me of fulgurite.
Well, at least Nicole will be happy with the first failed attempt 🤣
😂 3:04
Maybe you should pour resin into an empty ant nest.
Edit: Nevermind, that turned out awesome!
put the ice cubes in egg white meringue then do the resin pour over the top
Now that IS SO COOL GUYS ❤❤❤ I LOVE IT
Thanks Sandy
If you re-revisit this, you could pour regular resin over the UV resin and make a solid piece you could then turn on the lathe.
❤ I didn't no they sold uv resin in that big amount
Looks great love it ❤
what if you used styro packing peanuts or just random ragged bits of styrofoam? then after the resin sets disolve the styro with acetone
That be cool as the center of a sphere
What about if you try those refreezable plastic cubes spraying with mould release so you can pick them back out? All the ice without the mess of the water maybe?
One of the finest examples of art I've ever seen
Thankyou
@@BensWorx honestly I'm impressed by all your work but this one spoke to me personally would love to see one fire looking
Maybe you could try some dry ice as it will not produce any liquid as it melts.
Or try a great big block of ice.
The first one is actually the ghost of Cookie Monster.
What if you used that same container and put it in the pressure pot immediately after pouring the resin?
To my American ears I heard, "It kinda looks like carl" lol and now I have Aqua Teen Hunger Force imaged in my brain. "I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!" Side, note it looks amazing!
Thankyou 😊
If you can get hold of it you should try with dry ice 😊
Wow! It looks amazing!
Did you us the whole bottle of Uv resin?
Thankyou, it was about 2/3 full
@BensWorx it really looks great! Thanks for the response. That really isn't too much resin for what you got.
use uv reactive dye the next time and a uv light for the base.. i bet that would be super cool...
Used to make home made candles with ice and candle wax and color crayons
If you poured the resin into sheets and let it get firm but still pliable I wonder if you could put it on the ice and let it shift around the cubes?
this is awesome !
Thankyou
8:45 looks awesome, made me wonder what effect fibre optics would have on/in those filaments and curves… (illuminating along them?) have you thought of having a play with them again (I seem to remember you doing a star themed one, unless I’m delusional).
This looks like jellyfish! It would be great night light. The only thing it looks fragile and like it would collect a lot of dust. Could it be later submerged in clear resin or would it disolve?
I had a thought about using the UV resin to make something like a candy floss/cotton candy effect. If you spun up something with holes to spin out the resin and had intense UV to cure it as it flies, I wonder if that would work? How to Make Everything tried doing a similar thing with molten metal and had no real luck making wire.
I wonder if you could 'pre-cure' the resin as it falls down past the UV light, into the bucket. Or maybe turn it on and off, to get partially cured and partially setting bits. Not a full cure, but just something to get it started linking those polymers.
You need to make a huge egg . A 2 part pour ..... you know what you need to do 😊
What about putting the ice into latex, to make the initial mould, then wait for the ice to melt, to end up with an ice gallery mould. Then, pour in your resin, cut away the mould, and hopefully end up with your resin ice sculpture
If you did that again and than put the results in clear resin would it wreck it??
No it be awesome 😊
That looks great, but what if you were to put it back into a mould, add a different resin, then turn it?
Could you use something dissolvable but more resilient to heat like sugar cubes or water softener salt perhaps?
Use foam them you can melt the foam out submerging it in solvent
The bandages on her fingers....I have the same thing going on. lol Very cool sculpture! Looks like the inside of an ice cave.
Thankyou
Now u need to put it back in the container and fill it with normal resin and turn it on the lathe .
Not gonna lie; I thought this was never gonna work. Nice job!
Polyurethane resin or Quick Coat ?
would be interesting if you tried again, but after pouring the resin put the whole tray in the freezer. it would slow the ice melting, and reain will create its own heat. then after the resin sets, you could melt out the ice
