    Flower preservationist here! Let the rose sit in silica gel for a week to fully dry out. The centers of roses are so dense, you have to spread the layers in the centers to let the silica get in. I use a chopstick. The stick method might work for getting the resin all the way in too. Aside from sitting the whole thing on the vibrator to let the air out. (yes I typed this out in the start and am still typing after the "could have done dried" comment lol) on the flip side, I'm so excited to see this! I haven't been brave enough to waste money on this experiment 😂

      @@LifeLostSoul I've commented on this a couple times, there's a reason when people encase insects and such in resin they desiccate them first. It isn't hard to find that information, I think Evan and Katelyn are fully aware that all these things are going to rot, but they want to show exactly what happens. I watch knowing it will rot, but it is interesting to see just how it does. And then there's still surprises, like the resin expanding enough to break the glass! Resin usually shrinks.

    • @LifeLostSoul
      @LifeLostSoul 10 місяців тому +13

      @@SnowFox102 okay but have they ever acknowledged any of em? Because they normally bring up if things have been mentioned in comments and will try to give an explanation for why the thing happened the way it does, especially if it goes wrong. Plus anaerobic decomposition normally equals gross soup and I feel like they would think "gross soup" would be fun to say over and over.
      Also when they did attempt to dry out the pumpkins they kept them in plastic bags, trapping the moisture and also creating an anaerobic environment. So I'm not sure they fully understand decomposition based on this.
      But they should try for a full mummification or embalming process. That would be very Halloweeny.
      Also I'm sus that the glass break started with the temperature changes while the resin was curing going for ice cold to resin hot and had less to do with expansion... Those glass domes also break really easily

      But if glass glass was broken when they removed it from Pascal they would have noticed. Glass is ok with temperature change the issue is when it happens too fast.
      I think it's because of the gas being released by the flower iust expands the volume of the resin not much but since there is no room between glass and resin it's creating a slight pressure on the glass and slight pressure over days is enough to crack it.

    The reason that the rose looks like that is because the petals are hydrophobic. That is a layer of air making it look frosted. You can see it a bit on the stem, too, but that is a bit different, and likely due to a waxy substance that is naturally on the stem. I'm not certain, but there is likely some kind of chemical treatment you can apply to the petals to remove the hydrophobic nature.

    As someone who's worked with roses in a sale setting, they are SO sensitive to changes in temp, getting them too hot or cold can wilt them and have the petals brown faster, so I was dying when I considered how hot resin gets and then they iced it! A dried flower might be sturdier since the water wouldn't have to expand and contract in the cells as much, causing less damage? Hmm haha might have to do a part two on that

      My cousin's kid has made a good bit from her side business of preserving dried flowers in resin, like whole bouquets. It started as an offshoot from her wedding photography business, but it's really grown. And though I can say that while flowers that stand up to drying better do better in resin too, she has gotten some very nice results with roses.

    In the end were the glass cracks, I believe that is actually always a risk when pouring resin into glass. Resin doesn't truly hold its shape while curing (especially such large pours), so when put in something as brittle as glass there is a risk of breakage. There is special types of resin that are made for pouring into glass, once they're cured they have a bit of a squish to it which is the same property that makes it so it won't break glass

    I really liked this one b/c I've had some real issues preserving roses (100% failure rate). And while this one is still a bit of a fail (the color change) it's not a bad result. At all! In fact I kinda like it better. Also, the glass cracking is another lesson learned. Perhaps next time use a plastic dome and then remove it after curing. The resin itself will be the dome. Over all, you got a real nice result.

      Once upon a time there was a Princess and a Prince. Their families promised then to each other as symbol of kingdoms alliance.
      Prince fell madly in love with a Princess from the first sight. He was sure that she reciprocated his feelings, so he prepred a specjal gift. He gave her magic, red rose in glass dome. 'It's representation of my love. As long as I love, the rose will be ethernal.' he said. Princess gracefully accepted the gift and they relationship became flurishing. At least that's what the Prince thought.
      However one day, when he tried to make a suprise visitation, he saw his beloved Princess in embrance of other person. He saw in her eyes greater amounts of passion and love, than she ever gave him. He understood that she never loved him and his heart broke into pieces. He walk away without a word and his heart became ice cold.
      Soon after Prince's father fall to illness and gave up his titule to his son. Now as a King, Prince call off the engagement and demanded to give back his specjal gift. They agreed and Princess arived in King's kingdom with the rose.
      And that their last meeting. No words exchanged. No caught stares. Just returne of one black rose with frost on her petals and crack on the dome.
      King fell to the abyss of apathy, while Princess was celebrating marryaging her loved one.
      Will there ever be someone able to melt down the frozen heart and turn the rose back to passioned red...?

      they could potentially spread the rose pedals and maybe use the uv resin to get into the deep crevasses of the rose. theres going to be a lot of "wetness" which probs helped with the bulging and cracking but spreading the rose could release a lot during the chamber

    So a tip I've seen from other videos is to "flood" the rose with resin so that you minimize bubbles in between the petals, though with your pressure pot I'm not sure if it will make a difference or not? Worth a try though if you ever want to try again ^-^

    So I have worked with pressure pot for years and I can tell you the reason it had some mist is from the rapid change in pressure when you had the chicken fly off. That rapid decompression made a change in temperature which made the mist. I hope that helped!

    I make memorials and resin work for a living,next time you try,grab a bag of silica sand and cover the rose for 2 weeks. It looks as beautiful,keeps color and will not rot or change in resin. Dipping it in resin first helps with bubbles. Also,look into borax crystals. I apply mod Podge or adhesive spray and dip the dried rose then let it dry. After about 20 mins,you suspend it in the boiling borax and it crystalizes. I put them in books,shadow boxes,orbs,so much!!! Next,I can tell you how to preserve mushrooms! They're so pretty in resin.

    • @SheepUndefined
      @SheepUndefined 10 місяців тому +1

      Interestingly enough, I think they actually attempted drying out one of their pumpkin preservation attempts? Though it was with salt, so I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes, on top of it being more uh, "juicy" than a flower.
      Also on the mushrooms, is that also for memorial stuff or just a passion project?
      Bc either way I'd love to hear that, given how much my mom likes mushrooms!

    • @LucidDreamArtEmporium
      @LucidDreamArtEmporium 10 місяців тому

      Both. It was a passion project turned full business. It took 3.5 years of trial and error but I figured out the species able to preserve and the ones that didn't. I tried 50 different ways but I use silica sand for them as well and they hold form. They have to dry a while because most mushrooms are made of so much water. I have tried the microwave and oven methods,even knowing they'd fail but I wanted to try. Evan and Katelyn don't stop experimenting till they get what they want so I wanted to offer some tipsaybe they'd try them. I love watching them and when they have projects turn out,they're so adorably excited. I wanted to help. If you're ever curious,look me up. I do have a channel but not a lot on it yet. I had a series of passings but will be uploading all tutorials on everything I make. I am a curious person and like to stretch the boundaries as far as I can just to see what I'm capable of. I'm happy to help anytime,give you any tips or tricks I've learned,I definitely not gatekeep. There's room for everyone's art and I believe the world needs it ❤️❤️❤️ Memorial pieces became a main thing because I made so many for family that it turned it to part of the business. I have cremains and things but mostly funeral flowers so I wanted them to be perfect. It's all I had left. So,I tried till I got it right

    This is cool; I've been wanting to try this type of thing with fresh flowers for a while. But I was thinking about first taking advantage of the way flower cuttings still absorb water to try keeping them in a preservative solution for a bit first to see if it would prevent rotting and the breakdown of the molecules giving it color. Something like EDTA or an EDTA/NaCl/DMSO solution would be easy to try.

    17:57 Because there was some moisture in the chamber from the ice probably, but when you dumped the pressure quickly it causes that cloud. You can see the same with a syringe or the old twisting a cheap water bottle and popping the cap off.

    If I could I would double like your videos, awesome content, thank you.
    Also a suggestion:
    When a flower or foliage is'not absolutely fresh, it has lost some of the original water content of the cell structure. This results in a shrinkage of the original cellstructure. The use of isopropyl alcohol is preferred, because it very rapidly fills out the cell structure of the fresh specimen.
    Put them in alcohol and then in resin.

    Resin has a higher coefficient of expansion than glass. It's literally hatching. I filled a very heavy-duty glass vase (about the same size as your flower dome, but with 1/2" thick glass walls) and over the next 6 months all 4 sides cracked and split apart.

    If you try this again I think using all resin in a mold for the "glass" is the better option also if you want more time before the rose starts rotting leave as much of the stem as you can reasonable fit in the pressure pot and cap the cut edge off like they do for bouquets! You will give yourself a little more time that way. I don't know how to stop the color change from happening but saw some other people had ideas you could try. Over all this craft came out really well

  • @Haley0822

    • @Peter-i7y1q
      @Peter-i7y1q 3 місяці тому

      That makes no sense. Covering it in hairspray will only preserve it from stuff outside.
      Water, air and germs are already in the rose, causing decomposition regardless of it being covered in hairspray or resin
      If anything, resin should be better

    First!: I liked the Warner Herzog impression Evan was doing for the nature documentary squarespace ad 😆
    And second: I know I’m way late on this, but if you actually replace the rose’s water with something like liquid paraffin wax for a few days before you’re ready to preserve it, it’ll help it stand the test of time WAY better; it’ll do much much better. You can also take the rose and dunk it into some melted, liquid paraffin wax and swirl it around a bunch until it’s completely pared with a thin layer, it’ll helps getting all those little tiny crevices coated. You can do that with resin afterwards too, it’ll help a lot! It’s kind of a potential big waste of resin though bc it’ll put a lot of bubbles in the main body of the rest of the resin…. Maybe you could just use that resin to preserve it tho and not need two big tubs of it, one to dip/dunk and one to actually use, but instead combine them. You could vacuum out all the bubbles after before putting it into the pressure chamber? Use a deep pour slow cure resin to do all this? I’m a betting gal and I’d bet it’ll be preserved much better with all those extra steps…😆 if you just coat a fresh rose in wax and do the whole water replacement treatment beforehand as well, it’ll last for at least a year like that alone! Or you could do the silica gel sand method, which will help preserve the rose in the most lifelike way and it’ll make a really beautiful rose without it looking all wrinkly and dried out as it would get if dried by hanging upside down
