Imagine if you absolutely pack the sea shells or tums into the epoxy, basically turning it into a paste more than a liquid, I would imagine that you could very successfully make faux rocks with it.
you should do a backyard special: - dirt - ground up grass - ground up tree leaves - if you have a nut tree, grind some of that up - ground up bark basically, I think you need to go buy a grinder
@@matthewjohnson2281 had to think back to when i posted... no, I meant green grass, and green tree leaves. they have different textures and tree leaves are usually more waxy than grass, so the resulting pigment would have different properties. same with dirt vs. bark, both brown but have different physicalities.
As a proud member of Team Beef Instant Ramen, I would like to schedule a fight with you. Typically I am free on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. During the weekdays I am free anytime past 6 PM EST As for Saturday, I'm free all day long.
Trivia note on the crushed seashell, that's basically how crushed stone inlay in jewelry is done. You can do beautiful things with crushed turquoise, garnet, jasper, etc. You may want to polish that seashell one to see how it comes out; you'll likely not be disappointed.
My suggestions: ball point pen ink, fire ashes, ground tea, think like that Celestial Seasoning fruit tea sampler, ground fine. Oh and if you want to try more spices, matcha powder for green, freeze dried beets for red, dragon fruit powder for pink, saffron for yellow, carrots for orange. Get dried or freeze dried at like Whole Foods and grind them up.
@Peter Brown the mother of pearl is underneath the calcium carbonate of the seashell. That's why Connor recommended acid to remove the shell from the mother of pearl.
There's some really cool silicone ice molds in the shape of gems that would be perfect for the dye test videos and if they turned out good you could use them for another project!
Looked like a small clam shell, so odds are it was in fact calcium carbonate since that's the main component in most clam shells, coincidentally it's also the main (cough only cough cough) ingredient in chalk and when he did chalk it was basically an identical to result to tums and the sea shell.
Always wondered if we’d ever see an “oh shit!” kinda moment from mixing all these random things together - and the bowl cleaner was it! Please be more careful in the future! Poisonous gases or combustion can result from mixing unknown chemicals together!
Rach Mae it's more so don't breath a lot of it in on a daily basis. The small amount he did was fine and wouldn't poison you. Respirator is a good choice though just to keep sh*t out of your lungs. Same goes with strong odours. Breathing in cleaning supply fumes daily without ventilation isn't good. But that little bit won't do much.
Just as you were talking about the toilet bowl cleaner I started wondering "isn't there a risk that something will react with the resin and create an explosion/poison gas/antimatter?" and then it happened.
I saw you talk about toilet bowl cleaner and thought "Oh no, that seems like a not great idea, I worry about the possible chemical reactions...." and then it changed color so quick and went hot. I'm glad you're ok!
Mixing toilet bowl cleaner with most anything that isn't water is usually a bad idea. It was interesting to see the reaction though. Glad he didn't get injured by fumes.
@@randomuploaderguy It's hard to know without knowing the ingredients in the resin. I tried looking on total boat, but they don't seem to share much in that regard. Even the toilet bowl cleaner was difficult to track down (read: it took me everywhere so I just searched to see the kinds of things typically in toilet bowl cleaner) It's exothermic, so that might help some to try to narrow it down if one were to google. Maybe.
Okay, so we have: spoiled yogurt, "Not Good", half a truck of shop towels, reliving the horrors of chicken pox, resin transformed into glue, a runaway chemical reaction that had to be evacuated, existential doubt while grinding seashells that you swear aren't illegal drugs, oil that isn't oil but is oil, admonishing the other pigments to be more like oil that isn't oil but is oil, the next new resin trend, aaaaand gravy round 2. Right? Okay. Just checking. 😁 And I love the new series name.
You forgot about the little mishap after talkin about the booger sugar😅. memories??lol Hey Peter much respect.I been with ya a day or two 🤔and enjoy all your videos but this probably is one of the best videos I've seen.👍🤪 🙏✌️🇺🇸
Some ideas: -Black Oil -Hair Dye -Chlorophyll Green (Grass/Leaves ground with Alcohol) - Beetroot Red (Powdered or fresh) - Charcoal - Fresh Blood Red - Fruit Juice - Honey - Flowerpetals ground with oil/water/alcohol I will add more when I think of anything
I remember you using a resin that cured very quickly and got incredibly hot while doing so. It might be neat to try mixing some whole crayons into that stuff, with the wrappers still on. Hopefully it would melt the crayons and create a trippy swirl before setting.
Here's a few: Lead from a pencil Ice cream Pen ink Beer Coolant Dish soap Coke Make up powder Lipstick Herb seasoning (barley, thyme, basil) Glitter pen ink Toothpaste
Peter- Thank you so much for all that you have taught me. I felt well prepared my first pour, here I am 6 mos later comfortable enough to buy by the gallon. -I realized the other day that thanks to you, and a few other makers (all found thanks to you) have taught me well in the dos and donts of resin. I'm in a group on facebook (other resin makers) that so many people with longer pouring experience still lack simple knowledge of heat baths and that water and resin is a no no. I have you to thank, due to me watching all your videos atleast twice I began my resin journey well prepared! A new video "resin for beginners" may be a hit as well as introduce you to a new audience. Thank you so much 💜
i feel like the relationship between mr and mrs brown is so fun and pure. i love when she makes cameos. you too could have a podcast of just you interacting normal. no real content and i would tune in just for the wholesomeness
I am curious if that cup of resin did anything. I know the curing process of the resin is exothermic, did it cure immediately, or was it altered chemically and not cure at all?
Peter Brown you are my hero. I lost my home to a fire in 2017, and recently (with all the fires around me in california) I have found myself not doing so well mentally. I started watching your videos when I met my fiancé, who is obsessed with your projects, and watching your videos has always been a comfort. This past month we have watched through your ENTIRE channel at least 2 times maybe more, because it's the only thing that feels comforting and familiar in these uncertain times.

Black 1.0 would work *fabulously* since it's a powder. I have that, pink, yellow, green, and blue, but I haven't been able to try them, myself. I used black 3.0 in resin, when I first got it, and it is *phenomenal.* I used some liquid and some after it'd hardened, I ground it up. I think I used black 3.0 and black 3.2 for that. My black 3.4 is *super* runny so idk if that'd work. (The current one is 3.4; i'm a beta tester so I got some of the iterations after launch)
Stabilizing a Jack-o-lantern (or a few) in resin would be a cool idea, so you can have a decent looking pumpkin that you can use yearly! Plus then you don't have to gut a new one every year!
I only know of calamine lotion because of south park. I'm 29 and live in finland so i do not know any brand names for that here, but the common name for it is "Sinkki voide" which translates into "Zinc lotion", which is pretty much what calamine lotion is also, since it contains zinc oxide and ferric oxide.
Could you replicate the calamine lotion effect on a larger scale and suspend the pellets in resin to turn a bowl, pendent, or another odd object? Maybe a nicer bottle for the leftover lotion?
Or just testing how much resin it can absorb. After all, that was only a small amount of lotion mixed in with the resin. Also, what surfaces can it draw resin off of.
great series, keep them up, these are my favorite of your videos. Perhaps you could try black pepper, saw dust, graphite, or campfire ash would be cool to see ground up match heads and ignite it after or you could press green juice out of some lawn clippings
The only thing going through my head as he was pouring the dyes into the molds: Black, white, green or blue. Show off your natural hue. Flamingo. If you're multi colored, that's cool too.
I'm not even a science person and I was very nervous about that.... Mixing cleaners -especially strong ones like what you put in your toilet- with anything is something I learned not to do at a very young age and it was always a very serious topic. Glad it was such a tiny amount, I was worried there would be gasses that would cause problems
The toilet cleaner *was acting as an accelerant in the resin and it was curing at an alarming rate . Potential to burst into flames in some cases . Cleaner in this case = catalyst
Probably the concentration didn't need a ton of volume. Idk how much is in one packet, but it's not a ton and it's super thin. So it's probably more like food coloring than the other sauces
Try the results of the camomile as a powdered dye. Red Wine could be interesting. It might have to wait till next Easter but try the egg dye tablets that come in the kits. Dish soap might be interesting. Try "reusing" dye Make a "Normal" block and dye it what ever color with normal dyes. then take it to a sander and collect the "dust" and use the dust to dye new resin. Ajax/powdered type toilet bowel cleaner the leather dye stuff you get for touching up scuffs on shoes. Ink from pens has Jello been tried? or pudding? how about brownie/cake mix? the way the cough syrup ended up makes me wonder about the possibility of encasing liquid inside of set resin. also been curious about injecting a liquid inside of a partially set resin item.
@@Vikingwerk some toilet bowl cleaners are bleach based, they are great for removing "organic" stains, but the majority of cleaners including the one he used are acid based, and can get rid of rust, and other hard water deposits. Never ever mix any cleaners containing bleach and acid together, including ammonia, it releases chlorine gas. It will put you in the hospital real quick, and can kill you as well, if you get a heavy enough dose of it. Nasty nasty stuff.
I want you to make a full scale project with one of these alternative pigments. Pick one of the best or a few of the best and just make something really cool.
You always say mixing your resin for the full time is important. Have you ever kept mixing while it set? Would it make a resin meringue if you used a hand mixer, or just solidify?
I wonder if the oil one would work as a self-lubricating part: releasing a little oil whenever the friction gets high enough to start wearing away the resin
Get Rich or Dye Trying Fellow polymer dork here: one of the most pungent dyes I know of are “pokeberries,” which are blooming here in PA now, the purple color does not come out of fabric in my experience.
Also they're pretty dang poisonous and the seeds remain viable in the environment for 40 years, so if you ended up with one in your yard, you have many years of fun weeding ahead of you. And, they totally look like some kind of alien plant.
Not household for most, but a lot of musicians own them: slide grease or valve oil. They come in some great colors. I’d recommend Blue Juice (oil) and French Horn grease comes in some lovely reds
My dad got shingles today and we were talking about chicken pox and how my older brother 23 got chicken pox and me 20 never got chicken pox, well now i know why
I'm so sorry for your dad! My mom's had it twice, and the most recent time it was on her face. Her mask REALLY hurt, because it kept rubbing the areas. I really hope it's a short lived bout and he recovers quickly!
Just re-watched the whole dye trying series- so great! Here are some suggestions: Pre/post-workout powder, body wash (irish spring would make a great green), ink from gel pens, taco seasoning pack, lemonade or sports drink mix powder, ground up brick, broken glass
Super great series! I think it would be cool to see the following: Chopped steel wool or Brillo, brass filings, rust, play sand, I’d also really like to see a UV durability test on all of these.
how have you not tried lipstick, Hot Lips? also: nail polish toothpaste mouth rinse instant coffee dry milk peanut butter shampoo antifreeze threadlocker rust
I recently filled a small hole in a piece of oak with epoxy and nutmeg, totally inspired by this series. Turned out great, you can still see it's a different material, but the color is almost a perfect match.
Suggestions for the next Dye Trying: Crushed up Oreo cookie (with or without cream). Sawdust. Crushed up resin molds??? Thinly shredded tin foil. (Cut it into pieces then put the pieces in a blender idk?) Stale bread. Ash (not charcoal).
Aw man Peter you have no idea how bad I've been waiting for this... I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! Edit: Peter this looks like 8 shades of vomit. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
You should do one of those secret wooden rings using the seashell and a colored pigment! I feel like the seashell settling to the bottom of broken wood would look very neat!!
Whenever I see you’ve made a video I watch it straight away, seriously your videos always make me smile Also, please try zinc sunscreen - similar ingredient to calamine, but I wonder if the other additives would change the reaction. Also you can get coloured zinc which would be interesting
Since oil worked so well, you should try to find things that are oil soluble. Or maybe create an emulsification with oil and some other additive (like making mayonnaise).
Dyed oils aren't very common though, off the top of my head I can't think of any. And a common misconception about emulsions, they aren't actually dissolved together they are just essentially a stabilized suspension. So if you were to emulsify a water-based dye into an oil you would still be incorporating water into the mix, so any hardening advantages from the oil would be lost and you might actually create a separation in the resin depending on cure time. Although that alone might look kinda cool
@@Vikingwerk I use used motor oil (also used cooking oil) to stain wood. It works really well and looks good (kinda makes pine look like walnut). I was also hoping to see him try that. It's not a deep black though. It's a really dark brown. That's for a gasoline engine from a car. From a 2-stroke lawnmower (where you don't mix the gas and oil) it's got a funky gray color. Used vegetable oil on pine gives you a really pretty, mellow brown to almost caramel color. Plus, it will make your project always smell faintly of French fries!
Food coloring designed for candy/chocolate is oil based. Works great as a direct dye for hair, probably work for this as well. Ultra pigmented but also a bit expensive.
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 I was thinking an emulsion as a way to suspend small particles. So, let's say he took that sea shell grind, put it in blender to make it more fine, and used motor oil to suspend it. Maybe fresh synthetic oil as it's more translucent. Something to that affect...
my vote is the hepatitis of crafts: glitter. The really fine stuff that they've started carrying at, like, Target these days. The sugar-free water flavoring concentrates would also be a decent option, since they are usually quite well dyed for their water content, so you wont wreck your resin set capacity as badly as with some of these colorants. Target has also started carrying loads of really cheap acrylic craft paints in a variety of rather lovely colors, and acrylic paints should integrate and set really well in resin. Instant coffee granules may provide a slightly hazy, but nice and rich brown color. Another interesting idea would be to take the really cheap bagged hibiscus tea from the hispanic section of the supermarket, cut the bag open, and steep it in the activator or the resin base, whichever is thinner, for a while before attempting to strain it out and mix. Or just toss the petals into the mortar and grind away until it is a fine powder. Companies are also selling butterfly pea blossom powder, similar to matcha powder. It could potentially provide a hazy, but attractive indigo color if it can steep its anthocyanins into the resin before it sets.
"Is everyone okay?" after wobbling an inanimate object is such a dad move.
Dad energy
I once apologized to a house plant for accidentally smacking it.
@@tylerlowder2338 I say ow when I accidentally slam a door...
I thought it was another chemical reaction for a sec and it scared the crap out of me so I had to laugh when he asked if everyone was okay 😂
I literally was saying to myself, "Should he be mixing random chemicals like that?" right before the toilet cleaner reaction, lol.
Yeah, I was kind of relieved, actually, the heat was a bad reaction of course, but I was nervous that it would generate really toxic fumes
Same. 🤣
I was thinking the same thing with Dye Trying ep 4 before the toilet cleaner wouldn’t dissolve
So calamine lotion could be a solution to resin spills?
Youre such a recourseful person Mr Shrimp
I can’t say I’m surprised to see you here Mr Shrimp. Would love to see any project you have in the garage using the drill lathe!
If you have a shop vac that can handle sucking up dried calamine lotion, sure!
Hey AS! Fancy seeing you here!
@@AsAboveISoBelow A dustpan and brush?
Imagine if you absolutely pack the sea shells or tums into the epoxy, basically turning it into a paste more than a liquid, I would imagine that you could very successfully make faux rocks with it.
Hello love your videos :)
And to make it easier, use a coffee grinder to crush the shells
Maybe use craft sand for a similar effect?
liquid cough medicine, example being nyquil has alcohol in it. which i imagine doesn't react well to resin
@@charlayclaygre4159 Alcohol ink is frequently used as a resin dye, so I imagine that might actually be okay.
you should do a backyard special:
- dirt
- ground up grass
- ground up tree leaves
- if you have a nut tree, grind some of that up
- ground up bark
basically, I think you need to go buy a grinder
You wouldn't need it for the dirt though, that's already ground.
@@1stAshaMan whyyyyyy
I hate and love this idea
Grass and leaves are both green, chlorophyll pigment. Unless you mean orange/brown autumn leaves 🍂
@@matthewjohnson2281 had to think back to when i posted... no, I meant green grass, and green tree leaves. they have different textures and tree leaves are usually more waxy than grass, so the resulting pigment would have different properties. same with dirt vs. bark, both brown but have different physicalities.

Would it provide a sparkly effect if he used an oyster shell?
More a filler than a pigment then.
@DanGraves1983 I was referring to the mother-of-pearl lining the interior of the oyster shells.
@DanGraves1983 stripping the calcium off first is a good idea, a mild acid should take care of that.
It's the same stuff as the antacid, actually.
My suggestions: ball point pen ink, fire ashes, ground tea, think like that Celestial Seasoning fruit tea sampler, ground fine. Oh and if you want to try more spices, matcha powder for green, freeze dried beets for red, dragon fruit powder for pink, saffron for yellow, carrots for orange. Get dried or freeze dried at like Whole Foods and grind them up.
Or beet juice..,carrot juice too....turmeric. (Makes mustard yellow)
I makes sense that the seashells and the Tums behaved similarly, they're both primarily comprised of calcium carbonate.
@Peter Brown the mother of pearl is underneath the calcium carbonate of the seashell. That's why Connor recommended acid to remove the shell from the mother of pearl.
@Peter Brown March 4th 2019 you used mother of pearl that you received from Scott Grove.
I was thinking the same thing
Absolutely!
So what you're saying is, that if I get heartburn at the beach and the Tums are nowhere to be found, just start eating seashells, gotchya
There's some really cool silicone ice molds in the shape of gems that would be perfect for the dye test videos and if they turned out good you could use them for another project!
My wife made her own mold out of a geode. I suggest the same, results are phenomenal.
As a chem major, this series and the "poor" reactions fascinate me greatly
Purple cabbage juice might be an interesting one, considering it’s a pH indicator.
I feel like he should take the powdered calamine lotion, grind it down and put that whole thing into another resin as a pigment.
Fun Fact: Depending on the shell you used, it’s essentially the same ingredient as the active ingredient in Tums.
Looked like a small clam shell, so odds are it was in fact calcium carbonate since that's the main component in most clam shells, coincidentally it's also the main (cough only cough cough) ingredient in chalk and when he did chalk it was basically an identical to result to tums and the sea shell.
Yup...calcium

Good suggestions, but I'm pretty sure that he's already tried charcoal
Chlorophyll? More Like Bore-O-Phyll!
I've done activated charcoal and it worked really well. He's done a charcoal bowl before which turned out really cool.
@@miles67733 Very, VERY Messy, but Cool...
"Fresh Blood Red" 👀
The sea shells scared me the least. Everything else I was terrified would react badly or just sounded gross. 😂
I remember you using a resin that cured very quickly and got incredibly hot while doing so. It might be neat to try mixing some whole crayons into that stuff, with the wrappers still on. Hopefully it would melt the crayons and create a trippy swirl before setting.
ooooooo, that sounds cool!
Instant coffee might work. Seems like lots of "instant" stuff would work
Instant mashed potatoes
I think powders are pretty much guaranteed to work, they just get suspended in the resin
Here's a few:
Lead from a pencil
Ice cream
Pen ink
Beer
Coolant
Dish soap
Coke
Make up powder
Lipstick
Herb seasoning (barley, thyme, basil)
Glitter pen ink
Toothpaste
I second this list!
I think he has done make up powder, it is very similar to the powdered pigments, actually I think it the same stuff
The 'lead from a pencil' is graphite. 😉
I definitely second pen and gel pen ink!!
Tony's Creole Seasonings😂
I"m pretty sure the seashells and the Tums are made of the same stuff. Yep, Calcium Carbonate.
Came here to say this.
Seashelld are made of tums?!?!? 😂😂
So... what you’re saying is that I can eat seashells instead of tums when the stomach cries wolf? Jkjklol
I was just thinking the same thing! I wonder how many seashells to cure a tummy ache???
Came here to say that too lol
And to answer the other questions, maybe? I do know that you can just eat straight chalk (pure chalk) to cure antacid
Maybe try different types of sawdust from colorful wood. Cedar for red, ebony for black, Purpleheart for purple

How about dried flowers or blended berrys pulp included.
Those are where we get some of our most common dyes around the world, so I wouldn't be surprised if they work.
I would think the berries have too much water in them. Maybe dehydrate them, then grind them into a powder 🤔

Miracle grow plant fertilizer powder would be an interesting one
Engine coolant
Pepper
Flour would be a great white
Stabilizing a Jack-o-lantern (or a few) in resin would be a cool idea, so you can have a decent looking pumpkin that you can use yearly! Plus then you don't have to gut a new one every year!
But carving the pumpkin is like, 40% of the fun! And smashing it after Halloween is like 60% of the fun!
now put the dust in resin.
also, Im curious to see if you could put a mix of the materials, and see if it settles into nice little layers.
I want to know how much resin there has to be for that to not happen haha
I was really hoping he'd pour all the excess into the same container.
Someone is showing ones age with the theme song for calamine lotion.
I wasn't gonna say anything but...
He’s not that old. He went to high school in the 90’s, you can tell by his hair style which is still stuck in the 90’s.
I only know of calamine lotion because of south park.
I'm 29 and live in finland so i do not know any brand names for that here, but the common name for it is "Sinkki voide" which translates into "Zinc lotion", which is pretty much what calamine lotion is also, since it contains zinc oxide and ferric oxide.
Really? I know it and I'm 22. That said I've only ever heard my mother sing it
Could you replicate the calamine lotion effect on a larger scale and suspend the pellets in resin to turn a bowl, pendent, or another odd object? Maybe a nicer bottle for the leftover lotion?
Or just testing how much resin it can absorb. After all, that was only a small amount of lotion mixed in with the resin. Also, what surfaces can it draw resin off of.
great series, keep them up, these are my favorite of your videos. Perhaps you could try black pepper, saw dust, graphite, or campfire ash
would be cool to see ground up match heads and ignite it after
or you could press green juice out of some lawn clippings
Pepto Bismol would make a great pink color
The only thing going through my head as he was pouring the dyes into the molds:
Black, white, green or blue. Show off your natural hue. Flamingo. If you're multi colored, that's cool too.
You don't need to change
It's boring being the same
Flamingo, oh oh oh-woah
You're pretty either way
Get Resin or Dye Trying.
I'd watch that movie.
Peter Brown: picks up toilet bowl cleaner.
Science people: No, No, No, No!
Yeah... I smiled a little when he said that he had cleaner to try...
What happened? Why'd it have the reaction that it did?
Demonia Draconis I have the same question, could someone explain it
I'm not even a science person and I was very nervous about that.... Mixing cleaners -especially strong ones like what you put in your toilet- with anything is something I learned not to do at a very young age and it was always a very serious topic. Glad it was such a tiny amount, I was worried there would be gasses that would cause problems
The toilet cleaner *was acting as an accelerant in the resin and it was curing at an alarming rate .
Potential to burst into flames in some cases . Cleaner in this case = catalyst
The oil one didn't shock me too much, most resin pigments on the market are oil based but MAN that red is so pretty 🥺
Now I'm wanting to see seashells with a more traditional dye for different colored stone looking things
When he kicked the tri pod I thought the toilet bowl cleaner resin thing exploded
I'd be really interested to see the calamine lotion flakes go through the process again and see if it cohered.
Antacids win really well, I'd love to see a project made from them now, like some semitransluscent armored piece
I’m honestly confused as to why the soy sauce didn’t ruin the resin
Probably the concentration didn't need a ton of volume. Idk how much is in one packet, but it's not a ton and it's super thin. So it's probably more like food coloring than the other sauces
A few ideas: Wine, PEZ Candies, Fun Dip candy powder, Fountain pen ink.
Try the results of the camomile as a powdered dye.
Red Wine could be interesting.
It might have to wait till next Easter but try the egg dye tablets that come in the kits.
Dish soap might be interesting.
Try "reusing" dye Make a "Normal" block and dye it what ever color with normal dyes. then take it to a sander and collect the "dust" and use the dust to dye new resin.
Ajax/powdered type toilet bowel cleaner
the leather dye stuff you get for touching up scuffs on shoes.
Ink from pens
has Jello been tried? or pudding?
how about brownie/cake mix?
the way the cough syrup ended up makes me wonder about the possibility of encasing liquid inside of set resin.
also been curious about injecting a liquid inside of a partially set resin item.
Jello and pudding sound great!
Ajax will do the same thing as the liquid toilet bowl cleaner, will heat up really fast. same primary ingredient (bleach).
@@Vikingwerk some toilet bowl cleaners are bleach based, they are great for removing "organic" stains, but the majority of cleaners including the one he used are acid based, and can get rid of rust, and other hard water deposits. Never ever mix any cleaners containing bleach and acid together, including ammonia, it releases chlorine gas. It will put you in the hospital real quick, and can kill you as well, if you get a heavy enough dose of it. Nasty nasty stuff.
Calamine, not chamomile :) Chamomile is a kind of flower!
@@Abigail-hu5wf lol thanks for the correction I wish I could claim autocorrect.. but I think the spelling gives it away as a brain fart. Lol
I want you to make a full scale project with one of these alternative pigments. Pick one of the best or a few of the best and just make something really cool.
Exactly! Maybe a small desk lamp for the ones where seeing through them would be interesting. Or gross.
That ground up seashell would make a good faux cameo.
You always say mixing your resin for the full time is important. Have you ever kept mixing while it set? Would it make a resin meringue if you used a hand mixer, or just solidify?
I wonder if the oil one would work as a self-lubricating part: releasing a little oil whenever the friction gets high enough to start wearing away the resin
Get Rich or Dye Trying
Fellow polymer dork here: one of the most pungent dyes I know of are “pokeberries,” which are blooming here in PA now, the purple color does not come out of fabric in my experience.
Also they're pretty dang poisonous and the seeds remain viable in the environment for 40 years, so if you ended up with one in your yard, you have many years of fun weeding ahead of you.
And, they totally look like some kind of alien plant.
to be honest the ramen flavoring would make a cool custom desert camo army man toy.
I was thinking it would look great with the technique where you layer paper to make a blank. Might be a faux wood effect
It would probably smell great too lol
please define “man toy”
"And you've frankly ingested too much msg"
I'm sorry, I thought this was AMERICA!
'Merica
Yes it is America and typically China is who uses most of the MSG thank you
Fun fact: there is absolutely nothing wrong with consuming msg. It used to be thought to be a carcinogen but that has since been disproven, so eat up!
@@shaunacorrigan9372 Another fun fact, there's very little food that doesn't have msg. It's naturally occurring in many fruits and vegetables.
I'd be interested to see how these are faring after 6 months or a year.
I wondered the same thing
Try a dip it with grass. I’d like to see how creative you’d get figuring out how to cast it!
"Did someone actually suggest this or am I going insane" - perhaps both?
Oh yes... "Dye Trying". I've been waiting for this. 😌 Glad to see this series pop up again. I've missed this.
Not household for most, but a lot of musicians own them: slide grease or valve oil. They come in some great colors. I’d recommend Blue Juice (oil) and French Horn grease comes in some lovely reds
Melt down some Saxophone cork grease, haha
Awww they didn’t have colors back in my day
My dad got shingles today and we were talking about chicken pox and how my older brother 23 got chicken pox and me 20 never got chicken pox, well now i know why
I'm so sorry for your dad! My mom's had it twice, and the most recent time it was on her face. Her mask REALLY hurt, because it kept rubbing the areas. I really hope it's a short lived bout and he recovers quickly!
Amara Jordan thank you so much for your concern he is making a good recovery
Just re-watched the whole dye trying series- so great! Here are some suggestions:
Pre/post-workout powder, body wash (irish spring would make a great green), ink from gel pens, taco seasoning pack, lemonade or sports drink mix powder, ground up brick, broken glass
oh.. ground up eggshells would make an interesting powder. Especially brown ones
Love how you’re always singing, as if weird resin stuff wasn’t good enough already 👍🏻
Look if we're going off the deep end with household ingredients, can we please see mint toothpaste?
Super great series! I think it would be cool to see the following:
Chopped steel wool or Brillo, brass filings, rust, play sand, I’d also really like to see a UV durability test on all of these.
Adding the seashell combined with a color would probably have a really cool effect.
how have you not tried lipstick, Hot Lips?
also: nail polish
toothpaste
mouth rinse
instant coffee
dry milk
peanut butter
shampoo
antifreeze
threadlocker
rust
I'd like to see coffee done
i am incredibly intrigued about rust
Nail polish was done in a previous video, I believe 2?
I was literally just thinking, hmm if he keeps mixing random chemicals, especially cleaners, there's probably going to be chemical reaction.
And the toilet cleaner probably has a warning not to mix with other chemicals 😂
“Well honey, today Peter Brown challenged me to a fight... I’d say it’s a complete day.”
I recently filled a small hole in a piece of oak with epoxy and nutmeg, totally inspired by this series. Turned out great, you can still see it's a different material, but the color is almost a perfect match.
Just rewatched the whole playlist again. What comes to mind is hard candy and instant coffee
Wow I love the effect of the shells/tums, would love to see some experiments with different shapes with this finish!
they had the same effect because they are comprised of the same ingredient (calcium carbonate)
The big question isn't, "Do they retain their smell?" but, "Do they retain their flavor?:
Was the chainsaw oil one "oily"? It looked like it may have been leaving residue on your gloves.
NEVER stop with this series!
Suggestions for the next Dye Trying:
Crushed up Oreo cookie (with or without cream).
Sawdust.
Crushed up resin molds???
Thinly shredded tin foil. (Cut it into pieces then put the pieces in a blender idk?)
Stale bread.
Ash (not charcoal).
Should try Creme de Menthe and Shampoo/body wash next time 👀 also spray paint and grind up some Fruit Loops maybe?
Aw man Peter you have no idea how bad I've been waiting for this... I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!
Edit: Peter this looks like 8 shades of vomit. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
I want to see more of the sea shells in resin expecaily brightly colored ones.
Ohh use whole sea shells to make a blank then turn it!
I have nominated you Peter Brown for my views for food challenge to help brings meals to every child.
You should do one of those secret wooden rings using the seashell and a colored pigment! I feel like the seashell settling to the bottom of broken wood would look very neat!!
Flaming Peter, the added ingredient is resin.
I thought the secret ingredient in a Flaming Peter was std.
Ryan50Ryan that's no secret
Whenever I see you’ve made a video I watch it straight away, seriously your videos always make me smile
Also, please try zinc sunscreen - similar ingredient to calamine, but I wonder if the other additives would change the reaction.
Also you can get coloured zinc which would be interesting
Since oil worked so well, you should try to find things that are oil soluble. Or maybe create an emulsification with oil and some other additive (like making mayonnaise).
Dyed oils aren't very common though, off the top of my head I can't think of any. And a common misconception about emulsions, they aren't actually dissolved together they are just essentially a stabilized suspension. So if you were to emulsify a water-based dye into an oil you would still be incorporating water into the mix, so any hardening advantages from the oil would be lost and you might actually create a separation in the resin depending on cure time. Although that alone might look kinda cool
he should try USED motor oil to get a really deep black. From a diesel engine if he can get it.
@@Vikingwerk I use used motor oil (also used cooking oil) to stain wood. It works really well and looks good (kinda makes pine look like walnut).
I was also hoping to see him try that.
It's not a deep black though. It's a really dark brown. That's for a gasoline engine from a car. From a 2-stroke lawnmower (where you don't mix the gas and oil) it's got a funky gray color. Used vegetable oil on pine gives you a really pretty, mellow brown to almost caramel color. Plus, it will make your project always smell faintly of French fries!
Food coloring designed for candy/chocolate is oil based. Works great as a direct dye for hair, probably work for this as well. Ultra pigmented but also a bit expensive.
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 I was thinking an emulsion as a way to suspend small particles. So, let's say he took that sea shell grind, put it in blender to make it more fine, and used motor oil to suspend it. Maybe fresh synthetic oil as it's more translucent. Something to that affect...
my vote is the hepatitis of crafts: glitter. The really fine stuff that they've started carrying at, like, Target these days. The sugar-free water flavoring concentrates would also be a decent option, since they are usually quite well dyed for their water content, so you wont wreck your resin set capacity as badly as with some of these colorants. Target has also started carrying loads of really cheap acrylic craft paints in a variety of rather lovely colors, and acrylic paints should integrate and set really well in resin. Instant coffee granules may provide a slightly hazy, but nice and rich brown color. Another interesting idea would be to take the really cheap bagged hibiscus tea from the hispanic section of the supermarket, cut the bag open, and steep it in the activator or the resin base, whichever is thinner, for a while before attempting to strain it out and mix. Or just toss the petals into the mortar and grind away until it is a fine powder. Companies are also selling butterfly pea blossom powder, similar to matcha powder. It could potentially provide a hazy, but attractive indigo color if it can steep its anthocyanins into the resin before it sets.
Try the compressed sugar-tablets common in Halloween giveaway bowls - known as Rockets in Canada, but I think they go by Smarties in USA?
Mhm, smarties
