      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.

      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!

    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

      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.

    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

    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.

    Can you try venting the cavity where the water is? Perhaps with a large needle?

    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!

    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!

    Have you tried iron filings in epoxy and use strong magnets to move them into patterns?
    Will it be able to be moved by magnets after it is setup.?
