Here is an idea, Tied the ballon to a fish line and then use UV resin to "glue" the end of the fish line to the bottom of the container, and then fill the recipient with the resing, the balloon will float like and underwater mine but will not came all the way to the top since you have the fish line atached to the bottom of the recipient , i have seen you fighthing against a lot of materials that Float, so instead of try to sink them why not avoid floating or limit it :) hope ihis can be usefull for you
I've never tried this, but what if you squeezed an orange peel to get some orange oil, put that in an empty pill capsule, put THAT inside the balloon, and then fill the balloon with water. Epoxy the balloon with a lower heat mix, and then when the capsule dissolves in the water (hopefully after the resin is cured) the orange oil will pop the balloon. I don't know the timing or the amount of oil you'd need to get from the orange. Just something I've heard of, that orange oil pops balloons.
Use a smaller balloon with just a little bit of water and a much smaller resin pour. suspend the balloon from the bottom of the container with the fishing line so it looks like a balloon on a string. maybe even find a small hand from an action figure to be holding the string. just an idea
@@BensWorx can’t wait to see this! I recommend another suggestion I saw here, in concurrence with this one: fill the balloon with resin, and it should equalize pressure and cause it to float in the center without assistance.
@@BensWorx Thanks for doing this! Such an amazing thing to comment on a video and effect the content of an amazing channel!! It came out so good too!!!
I think something really cool would be if you put something in the water balloon so if the water balloon pops, you'll have floating items in the water that is incases in resin!
That was so cool. I love the look of the void, especially after you filled it with colored resin. Thanks for the extra video. Your tribe can never get tired of you!!
Is there a reason you don’t put a small base layer, let dry, put balloon in, fill to top of balloon, let dry, then add a top layer if the balloon is poking out?
If you coated the water balloon with some of that UV resin, do you think it would keep the balloon intact and with the water still in it? Realize it would take a lot of time and UV resin, just curious.
you should try candle wax, a quick search says it will melt around the 50-70c and boil at 370c. And it has a density lighter than water so it would want to make its way up to the top, so i would suggest pouring some resin throwing the wax in, then covering it with more resin
Awesome! It’s not so much a failure as a new way to try things. Thanks for the double feature this week and looking forward to what can come up with doing this method.
Hi Ben! I just started this episode. I just have to say that I was going to ask you to try this exact experiment! I cannot believe it! We must be on the same wavelength! So cool, so cool! Now on to the show....
My first concert was at age 30. It was a KISS concert in Michigan. The sad part was how unenthusiastic the audience was. The band tried sooo hard to get people excited and it made me really respect them. Felt bad that they had such a dull audience.
@@Richard-Freeman Back in 77,78 Kiss and Nazareth were the first rock and roll bands I started to party to. A little smoke, a little booze . Detroit Rock City....Hair Of The Dog. I was 17.
I bet if you cover the balloon in something nonstick before you put it in the resin, you could get the balloon out of the resin and have just an empty void to fill instead of one with balloon bits in it.
It's pretty cool when you become recognised as one of the great makers on RUclips having people that have watched Nick and ask you to do the same thing
you just gave me an idea of doing a hot air balloon scene!!!! thanks for trying various ways to 'play' with resin!!! i have used a few of your 'experiments' with a bit of tweeking here and there with great results!!!
If you're up for a retry... (1) pour and set a 4cm deep slab, (2) carve a bowl in the center on the lathe (leaving at least 2cm around the outside, (3) put the balloon in, salted to heavy enough to stay down in the resin (3,1) possibly even use UV-set to secure the balloon's knot down, (4) pour to cover the balloon. PS: I love it when you show what didn't work!
KISS Dynasty - What!? Your awesome taste in wearing apparel (and presumably music!) just earned you a subscriber. Well, really your entertaining channel content that RUclips was kind enough to recommend and I’ve been binging for the last hour or so had already sold me, but the KISS T-shirt sealed the deal. Rock on! 🤘 😂
Wow. I feel spoiled, another video this week! Edit: I'd love to see you make a piece from this one... it looks like a moment frozen in time during a balloon bursting or getting shot with a pellet gun!
Tie fishing line to the balloon and uv resin the end of the fishing line to the bottom of the container and pour the resin in. That might keep it in the middle and let you pressure pot it... maybe. Loving the mad scientist experiments!
When you was trying to hold the ballon beneath the service. It looked like a westerner trying to eat a boiled egg at an Asian restaurant using chopsticks for the first time.
That was awesome!!!!!!! Do it again. Cast a small something and stick it on the bottom of the cup. Then glue the tip of the balloon the small casting in the bottom. Pour in the resin. If all goes well it will stand up and you can put it the pressure pot to see what happens!
If it was me, I'd do a half measure of resin, let it cure, then put the water balloon on top with some superglue or some UV resin to stick the balloon to the cured layer. Another thing to consider might be freezing the balloon or giving it a full coating of UV resin to make it more durable and perhaps insulate from the heat of the rest of the resin.
Oh Ben, i woke this morning to the title of this video and made me lol thinking omg what is prof Ben doing now 😜🤣 but gotta tell ya this was sooooo interesting to watch! The outcome was fantastic, i really really liked it ❣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥇🏆
Here is an idea my friend. put a layer of resin in the bottom of the container let it harden. then fill your water balloon up, or even an air filled one. then use a little UV resin to stick the tied end of the balloon to the hardened bottom layer, then fill it up with the rest of the resin. voilà it should work. At least for the experiment, my friend. This looks cool though looks like a Blue Mushroom cloud.
Hi Ben... There's a lot of good suggestions from your subscribers...I think I like the one where the balloon is filled with resin to match the density...it might be a struggle with those tiny balloons..lol...I have ideas..but I'll let you figure that out..👍😄... Have an excellent weekend...🌿🌿🌿
The thing with experimenting is that you never really know how it will turn out. The fun part is trying it to see what happens. Then you take what you learn and apply it to new projects and then you move on to other experiments. They're not always going to turn out the way you want them to or the way you think they will but it's always fun to try it. But the shirt tho... KISS Army for life!!!!!
I honestly don't know what could happen. Option one: the balloon won't pop bcuz the water in the balloon 'protects' the balloon jus like it would if you tried to pop a balloon with flames while water is inside it. Option two: the balloons won't pop but might crinkle up as the resin sets around it. 🤷🤷 Can't wait to watch the rest of the video!!
5:32 You know what though, those marks left behind from the popsicle sticks makes this look even cooler. It makes it appear like the balloon just dropped into the resin. Adds life to it Update: yeah that blue resin at the end sealed it in well. This legit looks gorgeous dood
Some thoughts that might help. 1. Make a resin puck that you could set on top of the balloon to help it sink so the pressure pot could be used. 2. If you fill the balloon less it will be a bit stronger and harder to pop. Then if you want it to pop after it is set use a laser pointer to pop the balloon inside to release the water. Just some thoughts from the sidelines and halfway up the stadium.
You need some of Nick's 'float to the bottom' magic 😆 How about pouring a few cm of resin in the bottom of the pot, and letting the balloon sit on the top of it with the knot at the bottom so it gets stuck in the resin? Then you could do another pour on top of it and the balloon would hopefully be held in place by the first pour.
Thanks for stopping by, If you have time you can check out my new range of Eggs here www.etsy.com/shop/bensworx
Here is an idea,
Tied the ballon to a fish line and then use UV resin to "glue" the end of the fish line to the bottom of the container, and then fill the recipient with the resing, the balloon will float like and underwater mine but will not came all the way to the top since you have the fish line atached to the bottom of the recipient ,
i have seen you fighthing against a lot of materials that Float, so instead of try to sink them why not avoid floating or limit it :)
hope ihis can be usefull for you
Another idea, like how you injected the water but use mercury instead
I've never tried this, but what if you squeezed an orange peel to get some orange oil, put that in an empty pill capsule, put THAT inside the balloon, and then fill the balloon with water. Epoxy the balloon with a lower heat mix, and then when the capsule dissolves in the water (hopefully after the resin is cured) the orange oil will pop the balloon. I don't know the timing or the amount of oil you'd need to get from the orange. Just something I've heard of, that orange oil pops balloons.
I knew the salt would work!
Next time, let the balloon float on the top, and see if it ends up sinking.
Perhaps try putting epoxy resin in the ballons. That could keep the shape and have a similar density so it might stay centered easier!
Exactly what I was thinking.
I vote for sand. 😉
i was thinking the same or maybe put the epoxy resin in the ballon to give it a unique shape on its own
*so he must change the title from water balloon to resin balloon* 🥱
@John Benjamin Tatum but how will the balloon inflate if filled with resin?
Use a smaller balloon with just a little bit of water and a much smaller resin pour. suspend the balloon from the bottom of the container with the fishing line so it looks like a balloon on a string. maybe even find a small hand from an action figure to be holding the string. just an idea
Sounds good I’ll give it a go 👍
@@BensWorx can’t wait to see this!
I recommend another suggestion I saw here, in concurrence with this one: fill the balloon with resin, and it should equalize pressure and cause it to float in the center without assistance.
I was thinking about other ways he could weigh the balloons down. Using string at the bottom to hold it is Genius!
@@BensWorx Thanks for doing this! Such an amazing thing to comment on a video and effect the content of an amazing channel!! It came out so good too!!!
I think it’s not going to burst. BUT should have put dye in the balloons Ins case it does!
Love the KISS shirt!! And obviously super stoked about the video!! Entertaining and educational!!
Thanks Roxanne 😊🤘

Two videos in one week! You are spoiling us Ben. 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You guys deserve it 😊

It’s worth a try 👍
@@BensWorx lol that would be cool
Love how your turning in to an Alchemist cool!!! This is definitely worth working on 👍 Thank you for the bonus vid.
Thanks Alison 😊👍
Love the bonus video, cant wait to see what it becomes
Thanks Mark 😊
YAY for an extra video! I did see Nick’s video too. He’s such a cool dude. 🎈
Thanks Kate 😊 yes he is 👍
Yea im a big fan of both
I was just thinking that, “wow already a week?” Lol
I think it came really cool looking! Can’t wait to see what else develops from it. 😃

Great minds think alike 👍
Yay!!! No spoilers!! That made it much more fun for me to watch! Thanks!! 💚
This one was a really suprise,loved the end result, I can imagine this a cool night light.
Thanks Scott 😊👍
That looks so cool! Absolutely loved the blue at the end!
Thankyou 😊
A bonus video! You're spoiling us Ben 😍
You guys deserve it 😊
I always get happy when I see your notifications. I can't watch this just yet but I look forward to the free time when I can!
Thanks Mate 😊
I am never let down when watching these video's. I enjoy seeing the fails
Ben, I didn't know you were part of the KISS army.
Peace.
Great Music 🎶
Kiss FOREVER and literally they sang a song called forever kiss is amazing 😎💪🏼🤙
The explosion from the balloon popping looked really cool! Looked a little like a mushroom cloud.
Yeah 👍
Everyone talking about the balloons
Me: HE HAS A KISS SHIRT 🤩

Thanks Mate
That came out so beautiful. I think it would look amazing placed over a light.
You're definitely onto something really cool. Can't wait to see what's next.
Thanks Gregory 😊
I love it when you experiment with things! Keep it up man! All your videos and projects are amazing! God bless you and your family!
Looks way cool.....love to see you turn it into something....Loving the bonus video's too !!
Thanks Jill 😊
Very Cool experiment Mr. Ben!! That was Awesome!!!

A second episode! We must have been good. Awesome blank and dope shirt! 👨🎤
Thanks Joel 🤘
Another great idea!
Thanks Mate
That was a lot of fun to watch!!! Thank you 😊
Thanks Cerise 😊
@@BensWorx you are welcome!
Bonus vid! Such a cool idea and experiment 👍
Thanks Alex 😊
If you filled the void with red, it would have looked like an atom bomb explosion
You have the best epoxy channel on youtube 👍
Thankyou 😊
Ben, you have not let us down at all!
You make very interesting and exciting experiments 😁
Thanks Kim 😊

Thanks Andrew 😊 you guys are awesome!
Keep these experiments coming! Great, fun content
Thanks Mate 👍
That is wicked, I reckon it could turn into a very nice night light
Thanks Mike, yeah I think so 👍
how about attaching fishing line to the bottom of the cup so that, when the balloon floats, it can only float half way?
Great idea
NO WAY!!!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!
Thanks Gina
This experiment needs to be turned! Send it to Nick!

MJuch and the sender of my friends 🧡 me 💋 🙂 🙃 so 😍 and 💋 were together ❤️ 💖 💕 💗 💓 ♥️ ❤️ 💖 . But I'm so proud to have a lot from that you ❤️ 💓 💛 love
I wonder if putting a small layer of resin on the bottom first and let it harden. And then add new resin and the balloon?
Love the bonus videos mate 🤘

I like it! I can’t help but see it as a shifter knob, but upside-down. Like, the blue void is upside down and it attaches where the stick holes were!
Thanks Adam, yeah that would be cool
