Why are so many people in this comment section so afraid of broken glass? You gonna have to be extremely un-careful to cut yourself. And even then it's a cut. Not the end of the world.
It's unintentionally poetic (in a pessimistic melodramatic way)... "The fragile state of love, how it decays in your hands, bruised, shattered and crumbling, never to be the same again, never to be something one wants to remember..."
I refuse to believe all love wilts and withers away. My parents and my mom’s parents are (were in my mom’s parent’s case, rip.) very firmly in love. Literally made for each other
So glass in any shape other than a flat plane, aka window or flat sheet, is actually really strong because of its crystalline structure. I think Evan was on the right track with the thermal shock but did not have enough of a difference between the hot and cold extremes and fast enough to get a good reaction. I say keep going and take all the glass off at this point.
@neurokinetik I saw a good technique for glass bottles. You soak a piece of string in lighter fluid, tie it around a bottle, light it up and then dunk it in water. It should cut the glass pretty cleanly where the string was.
Okay, messing with glass with the wrong gloves aside, the entire thing looks so much cooler than before! Like others have said, it's poetic now. Like, love can hurt you of you don't take care. Beautiful and possibly haunting.
for sure, it's the opposite of Katelyn's idea of even heating in the oven, you can put glass in the oven and have no issues, but you take from the oven and put it on a cold stone counter and you're gonna have a problem...
@@mwater_moon2865 I think the point here is that the resin expands when heated considerably more than the glass does, so the pressure from the resin expanding breaks the glass
@@chalkietigger4650I'm pretty sure we were talking about ways to get the glass off the resin with little to no damage to the resin... ie, thermal shock the glass to crack it more so they could remove it rather than trying to chip it away. But I don't recall exactly what/when Katelyn was saying since that was several months ago
This was a great episode, and so relatable! I feel like I'd be like Evan, trying everything. Just so you know, the reason the glass didn't respond to the car tool is because it isn't tempered like car windows (or safety glass).
I feel the carbide tools are best in the (unlikely) case where you’re in a car that’s submerging in water - once there’s a certain amount of pressure acting on the windows it becomes easy to shatter them with a hard object and relatively little force. It’s not like trying to break glass with something solid inside it.
I'd be tempted to call it a metephor for change and how trying to force things to stay the same can sometimes ruin everything, since it starts with them trying to preserve the rose so that it won't change but ends up so changed and broken
I'm just gonna say, I loved the look of the "after" version of the rose display. It looks like it matches the rose better like some alternate darker version of beauty and the beast that would be interesting to see.
Honestly, I think the rose looks even cooler now The dark frosty looking rose in a shatterd case🥀 It's eerie and elegant at the same time Definetly something I would use as halloween decoration
The glass breaker is meant for tempered glass! Tempered glass is excellent against most types of applied pressure, such as a soccer ball hitting it. However under direct application of pressure on a precise tip, it will essentially crumble into tiny harmless pieces. It doesn't work much better than other types of tools for shattering regular glass!
Katelyn's little hand movement when Evan said "It wasn't our fault.". Evan's happy dance with the heat gun. 😂This is why I love their videos. I'm a bit sad they didn't fully "peel" the rose, but I agree with the other commenters that the "ruined" version is a vibe. 🌹🖤
It’s like a testament to to love it’s self no matter the hard times which try to cop away and seem to crack on the surface the core of love will still stand the test of time with only minor surface wounds like the scars that show the hard times but also show how you healed
I didn’t expect a clips video upload of this but I’m sure glad I’m subscribed to all your channels 😂😂 I never know what’s gonna pop up! What a cool ending to that rose’s journey.
Look into the "plastination" process. There is a lot of literature about turning organic tissue into preserved specimens with resin or silicone. Mostly its about animal tissue but it would be really cool to see something like that with plant material!
glass strongly resists being squeezed together but is weak to being pulled apart. For that reason the "strong" version of glass is the one that has large particles of other materials that basically presqueeze everything, so that when pulled it's getting in a half-squeezed state. But either way, this glass is definitely not the strengthened like that. So to break it you want it to be pulled apart. Heating method totally works for that.
Drying roses is super easy if you hang them upside down in a window then you could use that. Red roses turn a beautiful dark color, pink turns pale, and yellow turns light brown. Putting a dry rose in the resin would probably work but it is also very fragile so idk.
Car-glass crackers work because Tempered Glass used in windshields and car-windows etc is incredibly hard and under a lot of internal pressure, stopping it from breaking and causing it to shatter into those tiny, diamond-like crystals when broken. The super-hard tip of a file, a piece of ceramic compound (like found on spark pluggs) and the carbide-tips on hole punches and car-glass breakers will manage to nick the glass, causing it to explode, whereas smacking it with a hammer might just have the hammer bouncing off. Pane- or sheet- glass like you've got there is a different beast, easily broken if deformed, but it's difficult to deform a sphere, and a small point won't really DO anything to it, you just want more smashing power and preferably to crack it from the inside out, since it's more difficult to break a dome from the outside.
Adding to the poetic interpretations: If you try so hard to get at something precious you were preserving, you may break it and harm yourself in the process
The window breaker tool you were using is designed to break tempered glass that is used in car windows. As due to the layers the glass is under a mix of tension and compression. The tool breaks the compressed surface of the glass that releases the tension causing it to shatter. The glass bell jar you have is most likely made from annealed glass and not tempered glass, which is probably why it was only being dented by the taps you were giving it. If it were tempered glass then it would have shattered instead of coming off in chunks like it did.
@1:33 You are gently tapping on the glass. If you weren't worried about breaking it and leaving a mark you can certainly break glass with that. It's made for hard impact not lightly tapping.
When Evan applied the heat I remembered a Time Team where they were duplicating a stained glass piece using historical methods and one of them was to use direct heat on one point, like from a soldering iron, to cut the glass because it cracks it cleanly. Heat + cracked glass = so cool
It's kinda... nice to see this video, as someone who feels like most of their arts n crafts don't go as well as they'd like, or often just completly fail. I've watched your videos for ages and it feels weirdly encouraging to see you fail. As in: You make such cool stuff often, but sometimes stuff just... doesn't work out.
What about using the roses used for Forever Roses? They are said to last a year, it would be interesting to see if they are different from regular roses in their reaction to resin. You can also try dried roses as another test. Having little to no water in them, might also be another reaction to try. Good luck with your next vid!
This was oddly satisfying to watch, I’m so glad you filmed it! Now I think we need some resin experimentation in glass vessels 😱love you two, never stop being yourselves 🧡🖤🧡
It does look pretty cool all broken. I do have some thoughts for how to fix the resin that came off. Fill the space with UV resin, sand off the excess until you get down to a fine grit, and then spray a coat of clear coat. It works for clear resin pieces in resin figures. Maybe it can work on a larger scale 😅
when you make another rose…you should design whatever shape you want and 3D print it, make a silicone mold of that, and then pour resin into in with the rose. So you can just omit dealing with glass altogether. Unless that was part of the appeal of the project? I can’t recall right now😬 Love you both!
I actually like the rose more now. It's gone from "not quite realistic looking Beauty and the Beast magic rose" to "Belle never came, Beast died, this was left behind as the castle fell into disrepair."
You can dry your flowers in rice or silica gel. The resin will not have anything go wrong with it, and your flower will never rot. After you lightly pull out the flower of the rice or slice gel, you can choose to also very lightly spray it with hair spray, or a spray glue, then dry, to keep the petals in place, as you poor the resin over it. Wood turners use this method often. Just be careful because the flower will be fragile, and if you poor too quickly, you can also risk bubbles.
But it looks really interesting now. The rose looks so ghostly dead and with the shattered glass it makes it so cool and dead looking
Just saying: an outer layer of resin to smooth the edges of broken glasses and it's good to keep.
Halloween decoration for sure!
Yes, my thought exactly. I love the shattered glass giving such a haunting vibe to it, like a twisted beauty and the beast style.
so goth
The alternate universe where beauty never finds the beast...
The fear I feel with him only using latex gloves while breaking GLASS 😂
So true. You think you'd wear cut resistant gloves.
Yes
Same 😅
Why are so many people in this comment section so afraid of broken glass?
You gonna have to be extremely un-careful to cut yourself. And even then it's a cut. Not the end of the world.
@@Jehty_I speak from experience, broken glass can create tiny little shards that embed themselves in your skin like splinters. It’s a bad time!
The rose as it is now would look so good in a haunted house. The fading and the cracks give it so much cursed character.
fr 😮
It's unintentionally poetic (in a pessimistic melodramatic way)... "The fragile state of love, how it decays in your hands, bruised, shattered and crumbling, never to be the same again, never to be something one wants to remember..."
I'm 14 and this is deeeeeeep, bruh
Okay Romeo pop off
the Garfield meme: to be loved is to be changed
the fragile state of my butt (cracks when filled with resin)
I refuse to believe all love wilts and withers away. My parents and my mom’s parents are (were in my mom’s parent’s case, rip.) very firmly in love.
Literally made for each other
Dead ass the end product genuinely looks better than before … a ghost rose in shattered glass is such a nice aesthetic.
Honestly it looks really cool. Almost like a "what if" version of the rose if the Beast's curse was never broken

I think Evan was on the right track with the thermal shock but did not have enough of a difference between the hot and cold extremes and fast enough to get a good reaction.

Indeed. Common glass cutting technique is to score, heat the scored line with a lighter, then dunk in cold water.
@neurokinetik I saw a good technique for glass bottles. You soak a piece of string in lighter fluid, tie it around a bottle, light it up and then dunk it in water. It should cut the glass pretty cleanly where the string was.
Glass doesn't have a crystalline structure. That's what makes it glass.
@@ooterman I think that would have a good chance of damaging the resin beneath though
Also car windows are tempered glass, a special glass that shatters more easily in a million pieces and doesn't leave a lot of sharp edges
The sound of the glass cracking 😂 It was like a baby bird was hatching
Okay, messing with glass with the wrong gloves aside, the entire thing looks so much cooler than before! Like others have said, it's poetic now. Like, love can hurt you of you don't take care. Beautiful and possibly haunting.
honestly, I think a little more heat and an ICE WATER bucket would finish the job nicely.
or canned air held upside down.

Ok, if it wasn't for it being a hazard i believe the cracked one looks more aesthetically pleasing. It adds lore to it
Evan, get cut-resistant gloves my dude. You can put latex over those if you need them for grip
Thanks for the update though!
This was a great episode, and so relatable! I feel like I'd be like Evan, trying everything.
Just so you know, the reason the glass didn't respond to the car tool is because it isn't tempered like car windows (or safety glass).
i’d also imagine he wasn’t hitting it nearly enough, you still have to whack them a bit, he was kinda lightly tapping😂

Now its a even more avant garde art piece about the outside world trying to break the peaceful beauty of a rose (and the secret rot within)
I'd be tempted to call it a metephor for change and how trying to force things to stay the same can sometimes ruin everything, since it starts with them trying to preserve the rose so that it won't change but ends up so changed and broken
@@krazyleprechaun2360 the change inside finally starting to show on the outside with a literal cracked surface

Katelyn popping up in front of the camera and confusingly looking between it and Evan “are we filming again” is so hilarious
Ikr? 😂
I think a silicone mould made using a glass dome, and some of those flower drying beads next time
though it seemed like a failure, i think the final result made it more beautiful and magical looking
Honestly, I think the rose looks even cooler now
The dark frosty looking rose in a shatterd case🥀
It's eerie and elegant at the same time

It’s poetic, you know? It represents the fragile nature of the flower but the resilience of its beauty
Okay, but it looks *epic* too at the end- like the way it catches the light and adds to the effect of the ghostly rose?!

Ghost rose!
That end picture with it all faded and little cracks running over it was so cool!!!
Ngl it looks really cool all broken up like that! Gives it more ghosty vibes
it’s like the beast tried to break the rose case !!
tbf the broken glass kinda look does something... kinda cool....
Love how quickly they forgot about the cardboard box and started tearing glass chucks directly on the table
It’s like a testament to to love it’s self no matter the hard times which try to cop away and seem to crack on the surface the core of love will still stand the test of time with only minor surface wounds like the scars that show the hard times but also show how you healed
It looks very cool when you have the light on. It’s like crystals all over it. 😊
what a absolute rollercoster of chaos 😂 RIP Mr resin rose 🌹
They actually used to make resin molds from glass that you would break after it finished curing. I believe Peter Brown made a video with some.
There is something poetic about how it went from a pristine looking fresh rose into an aged rose in a shattered and weathered preservation.
I didn’t expect a clips video upload of this but I’m sure glad I’m subscribed to all your channels 😂😂 I never know what’s gonna pop up!
What a cool ending to that rose’s journey.
Bent glass is really hard to break from the outside of the bend. Thats why we make windshields that way. But inside pressure cracks it easily.
The glass removal kinda gave it like a dark/horror spin though and I’m here for it. Looks much more like something from a curse now 😯
Look into the "plastination" process. There is a lot of literature about turning organic tissue into preserved specimens with resin or silicone. Mostly its about animal tissue but it would be really cool to see something like that with plant material!
Why are you so resilient to our efforts 😂😂😂😂 my new favorite line
The little glass crunchy noises in the music at the end 😆

But either way, this glass is definitely not the strengthened like that. So to break it you want it to be pulled apart. Heating method totally works for that.

Honestly, I love the 'after' - it looks ethereal and like it's frozen in magic or ice.
This reminds me of Peter Brown's video where he's trying to remove the glass mold from the resin project 😅
Me too!
He also did this exact project too.
The window breaker tool you were using is designed to break tempered glass that is used in car windows. As due to the layers the glass is under a mix of tension and compression.

So many channels just put stuff in resin and then never give you an update. You are different. Thank you for that ❤
Hard boiled egg is def the best analogy
It looks so MOODY now and I LOVE IT
Ok, but the after with the broken glass and imperfect rose is stunning in a haunting way
Honestly the after is really cool and haunting.
In all honesty it just somehow adds to it just even more Props to you do you Guys
Absolutely love how supportive katelyn is at the end
I think the shatterd glass is a super cool edition to the piece! The hole punches though...? Maybe not as much
When Evan applied the heat I remembered a Time Team where they were duplicating a stained glass piece using historical methods and one of them was to use direct heat on one point, like from a soldering iron, to cut the glass because it cracks it cleanly. Heat + cracked glass = so cool
It looks cooler I think. Like time after the curse has had some of its course
the after looks like an artifact that you will find in a horror game
I think preserving the rose in glycerin before putting it in resin would help keep the color and save it from rotting too
The shattered version actually looks really cool! It adds to the eerieness? hauntedness feel to it
it's almost better now lol. the cracks and the chips of glass missing adds character. it's perfect
Honestly? I love the broken down look at the end! Thanks for the update

Use silica gel to dry out the rose or any living type thing first
Alternate universe in which Beast never gets Beauty...
It has a forbidden cursed artifact vibe now😂
Yes. The cracks kind of work
I would love to see you guys recreate this with a dried rose, because it was gorgeous. Reuse the base.
The after looks like the Beast tried to get to the rose

You can also try dried roses as another test. Having little to no water in them, might also be another reaction to try. Good luck with your next vid!
Arguably I think it look so much more unique and also somewhat antique
I have never been more happy to see broken glass… this is my life now 😂
Freeze drying organic matter before encasing in resin could be the only solution for long term preservation.
why do i love it more now 😭 it looks so pretty and mysterious
I think a better way to use heat and cold is to put the rose into the freezer overnight and then put it right into very hot water
This was oddly satisfying to watch, I’m so glad you filmed it! Now I think we need some resin experimentation in glass vessels 😱love you two, never stop being yourselves 🧡🖤🧡
Before: a steampunk version of Beast's rose.
after: a post apocalyptic version of Beast's rose. 😂
Okay, I actually REALLY love the way it looks now!!!
1:33 Remember to always wear safety glasses, good thing Evan did
This reminds me of the ancient technics used to break gigant boulders in half by hammering metal spikes in the middle
Ngl both the before and after videos actually look really cool. The after looks cool and intentional, at least from the ending video.
It looks like a Rose of War now! So cool!
"are we filming again?" 😂
The rose looks like it has so much of a traumatic background now I think it’s really cool
The way the rose once again has thorns 🤣🤣 glass thorns
Still looks pretty cool 😎
Honestly, if you're going for a Gothic/Halloweeny kind of theme then it's looking WAY Better then before and more in line with That. 😂😁👍🏼👍🏼😁‼️
You could try painting the resin into the rose petals before pouring to make sure there isn't any bubbles trapped
It does look pretty cool all broken.
I do have some thoughts for how to fix the resin that came off. Fill the space with UV resin, sand off the excess until you get down to a fine grit, and then spray a coat of clear coat. It works for clear resin pieces in resin figures. Maybe it can work on a larger scale 😅
With the cracks in it I think it looks way older and cooler.
More like Victorian decay decor.
How do you do this without flinching! XD I love your vids you guys are so amazing!
its midnight but i finally caught an E&K video :')
when you make another rose…you should design whatever shape you want and 3D print it, make a silicone mold of that, and then pour resin into in with the rose. So you can just omit dealing with glass altogether. Unless that was part of the appeal of the project? I can’t recall right now😬
Love you both!
It honestly still looks so good it’s just a different style
The last idea is great, but I think you need even colder water!
I actually like the rose more now. It's gone from "not quite realistic looking Beauty and the Beast magic rose" to "Belle never came, Beast died, this was left behind as the castle fell into disrepair."
Super sticky duck tape? Both for cleanup and to pull away from the resin? Does look pretty cool tho...
