Once Jake gets enough time learning the in's and out's would love to see him do an experiment of his own but for now the wife and i would love to see him pop in and out every once in awhile as always love this channel and everything you do keep up the great work brother and we can't wait to see what you have planned for next weekend much love from the states
I was also thinking that as well. We now know that it will get to about 160. I would temp it until it gets to about 140 and then plop it in and see if it works. I think the bit of extra heat may do the trick. I really want to see popcorn in the resin.
Agreed. They have the temperature gun and have found out the max heat the resin puts off while curing, so they could pop it in the microwave when it reaches around 120-130°C. Fantastic idea. I wonder if anyone has tried to microwave resin while it cures though. Would that speed up the curing process or would it stand a higher chance of combustion? Maybe a better project for outside or at the least with their shop doors open.
Put them in the vac chamber while the resin cures, a reduction in pressure will lower the temperature needed to pop the popcorn. Also, don't rest the bottom of the cup on a surface like you did. The kernels at the bottom had the temp wicked away by the table.
The vacuum would help, but not a great deal. A quick Google search tells me that popcorn pops when its internal pressure reaches about 135 psi (930 kPa), a bit more than 9 atmospheres. This implies that popping requires a pressure differential of a bit more than 8 atm between inside and outside. So even under a vacuum, the corn would have to be heated enough to reach an internal pressure of more than 8 atm.
That end result looked quite fascinating! I wish I'd had someone to try out wacky experiments with, Jake is lucky to have you as a dad! I can't wait to see the next video involving this blank, and I hope to see Jake in more videos too! Much love 🖤
If you want another shot at it, try this: Make a solid base of resin like you did in the first video. Then, put a few kernels and encase them in resin. When the resin starts to get hot, say around 120 C, put it in the microwave and heat it up while it's still curing. You may end up with the results you want. It's worth a shot anyway. P.S. Thanks for including Jaycob. Would like to see him more.
I'm so glad you're planning to refill that blank with other colors. I'm going to guess and hope for blue and yellow, and maybe a bit of green via a mixing of the two inside!
Its amazing how so many experts in the comments make corrections with zero actual experience or effords to make content and yet Ben who is the actual the expert is humble and polite enough to listen. Ben you are a craftsman and a gentleman.
Amazing! I knew resin got a bit warm when curing... not 160 degrees hot! I think you are reaching the perfect balance between making the art videos and doing the experiments.
Wow!! Super interesting - I didn’t even think about the pressure pot causing the kernels to not pop. Amazing how a community effort can help, even the best of us, think of things we may have missed!
2 minutes in and I see a dad and his son leaning over a jug of resin with possible explosives in it. Don't skimp on the safety boys, we would like ya to keep making videos please.
i only sub to maybe 5 channels and yours is my favorite! And i just have to say, I truly love how you take every suggestion kindly and try out different methods based on the comments. It's so lovely to see!!
Nice job guys. FYI: Centre of the turntable heats higher and faster. Putting the blank out to the edge allowed the heat to build up slowly. Thats the reason behind the cool crazed pattern.
It was awesome to have your son join you! He's definitely a chip off the old block! We look forward to seeing him join you in future videos. As always, we love your videos. They are a highlight to our week. Thank you for all of your hard work and amazing talent!
That's a crazy result, excited to see how it turns out with the different colour vacuumed into the void. Keep having Jake on, love the dynamic and discussion you two have
Can't wait to see what happens when you pull a vacuum with coloured resin on that! That is one of the more exciting parts about these experiments, seeing what cavities are formed and filled in with extra resin afterwards.
This channel is probably onenof the most wholesome channels I've seen. I love it. Ben is charming and a great host, and it's awesome that he wants to include jake. I love this channel so much
So stoked to see you and your son do another video together, he should be a regular character!! On another note, maybe make another cast with a cavity and put some oil in it with the kernels! not a huge amount of course, but enough to give the kernels a nice coating.
Well hello Jake & Ben !!..🙋... Yep..encase it in resin and turn it !..😄...why not ?!... Good to see ya fellas...on to the next mystery... Happy Sunday...🌿🌿🌿
Love these ideas you are doing and the results. Who would have thought that watching popcorn in the microwave would be so captivating!Maybe a new egg idea for you with one exploded kernal in the middle!
Impressive results! Can’t wait to see the next one. I also thought the popcorn looked pretty cool with the tiny bubbles coming off of it before the microwave. I’d be interested to see a project where you have one of your eggs with some popcorn kernels within resting on the burl.
Next time can you use a laser or the magnifying glass with the kernel inside a vacuum within the resin? I think that might work a bit better because the heat is focused.
Love how after vac and degassing, they aerated the mix by dumping it into another container!😅 But I love the channel and work guys! Great father and son bonding!
Hey Ben! Great episode! Love the final result and can’t wait to see you introduce the different color resin into this blank and turn it! Nice seeing Jake again as well! - Seth
The effect turned out really awesome! Can't wait to see it turned on the lathe!!! It is cool getting to see your son, though you don't look old enough to have a kid that old!! If i remember correctly Nicole is also a dabb hand in Art n Craft, so i thibk its time to have a video with all of you in there!!! Hope you're all safe and Delta free! 💛💛💛
Another idea would be to do intentionally overheat the resin. I think Peter brown did that when he made the “lava bowls” using water based dyes. Maybe adding a bit of water would work?
This was also very interesting. It was cool you had your boy with you again to finish the project. He seems to be just as interested as you, which I think is awesome. You could cast that awesome explosion in a in something a little bigger so you can make a sphere and not have to worry about it falling apart. Good stuff guys, thanks for the entertainment
If its a throwaway microwave you can modify it to have a small porthole where you can get a better view of whats happening. If not you can always adjust the focal length of your lens to view inside the microwave
Ben. Mix the resin, de-gas in the vacuum chamber, add the popcorn then place in the microwave before it's set. Probably the best chance of getting the night temperature and popping the corn.
microwaves bounce around the chamber but because it's square and the microwaves only come from one spot it creates a standing wave effect so there are cold and warm spots. the turntable mitigates this so food is more evenly cooked.
Yay Jake is back. He is handsome like his Dad! I gotta say too that the ppl in the comments are brilliant. I didn't think of the pressure pot thing. And thank you for the bonus episode. I love watching your Ch. Ben.
Hey Jake! Sorry for your problems with this. I did like what you created though! The little explosion inside the resin might be a new thing to do, huh Ben. Thanks for sharing your creativity with me again. Stay safe, Vickie PS glad you brought Jake back. He's very comfortable in front of the camera
Amazing result. What would happen if you put the resin with the popcorn as it is nearing 160c in the microwave? May be very dangerous though!!!!. May pop though.
I think that placing the popcorn kernels at the center of mass might be hotter. I'd also try mixing the resin a bit hot with the activator though that might cause an exothermic reaction. And make sure you are using a good quality popcorn that was stored properly. As I understand it, internal moisture of the kernels is critical for popping corn.
kind of a random thought but what about coating the kernels in vegetable oil? to help transfer the heat as well as to lock the heat and air in. just a thought, keep up the awesome vids
Ok. Try this. Create a new cast with a void for a few corn kernels of poppable corn, but instead of trying to pop them in a microwave, try popping them from the top (or side so the sunlight can get through unaltered) or even making the cast with 6 flat faces to make this easier, using a magnifying glass and sunlight. Also try and put a tiny amount of vegetable oil in with the kernels, just a drop.
The only thing I can think of as a last possible option for this experiment would be to put the kernels in, and then putting them into the vacuum chamber, it'll lower the boiling point and the pressure in the corn kernels giving you a slightly higher chance of them popping while the resin is still curing, I see a couple comments suggesting similar.

@@BensWorx maybe you can show Jake how to fill a void with the remains of this experiment.
@@BensWorx i think another idea would be a beginner series for how to get started and learn
if that is a throw away microwave how about throwing the resin in there while its still curing? this might give it that extra bit of heat needed
thats what i was thinking.
I was also thinking that as well. We now know that it will get to about 160. I would temp it until it gets to about 140 and then plop it in and see if it works. I think the bit of extra heat may do the trick. I really want to see popcorn in the resin.

I'll add my name to the list of thought that x
Paused it to find someone had the great idea before me. Try this Ben!
Put them in the vac chamber while the resin cures, a reduction in pressure will lower the temperature needed to pop the popcorn. Also, don't rest the bottom of the cup on a surface like you did. The kernels at the bottom had the temp wicked away by the table.
Exactly what I was thinking too.
That or he could place it on a slitlely hot surface to contribute with the heating process, besides not losing energy to the table
Beat me to it :D The vacuum should also slow the rate that heat is leaving the resin, meaning a higher max temperature.
The vacuum would help, but not a great deal. A quick Google search tells me that popcorn pops when its internal pressure reaches about 135 psi (930 kPa), a bit more than 9 atmospheres. This implies that popping requires a pressure differential of a bit more than 8 atm between inside and outside. So even under a vacuum, the corn would have to be heated enough to reach an internal pressure of more than 8 atm.
@@jpolowin0 Putting it in a vacuum chamber gives it a 15psi head-start and lowers the temperature needed to pop it.
Love seeing you and your son do these together

Fast hardening resin gets much hotter.
You should definitely try that!

It's worth a shot anyway.
P.S. Thanks for including Jaycob. Would like to see him more.
That's what I was thinking
how about when you put the kernels in, put a bit of cooking oil and seal it in the resin.
This is just a whole new dynamic and opens up a lot of opportunities.
I'm so glad you're planning to refill that blank with other colors. I'm going to guess and hope for blue and yellow, and maybe a bit of green via a mixing of the two inside!
Its amazing how so many experts in the comments make corrections with zero actual experience or effords to make content and yet Ben who is the actual the expert is humble and polite enough to listen. Ben you are a craftsman and a gentleman.
Cool follow up, loved the bubbles coming up from the unpopped kernels
Amazing! I knew resin got a bit warm when curing... not 160 degrees hot! I think you are reaching the perfect balance between making the art videos and doing the experiments.
Wow!! Super interesting - I didn’t even think about the pressure pot causing the kernels to not pop. Amazing how a community effort can help, even the best of us, think of things we may have missed!
With all those cracks, I'm so happy you guys want to impregnate it with a different color. Looking forward to it!
YAY for a bonus video! Great way to end the weekend!
Thanks Kate 😊
@@BensWorx its was nice... new one soon but trying it with the laser lol
The Kernals with the air bubbling upward like that actually looks really cool, might make an interesting resin egg imo
2 minutes in and I see a dad and his son leaning over a jug of resin with possible explosives in it. Don't skimp on the safety boys, we would like ya to keep making videos please.
Patrick the old guy.
Maybe if there had been an unfortunate explosion a civil suit could have been filed against Orville Redenbachers estate ?
@@toobmaniac butter get outta here man, these people don't have even a kernel of humor.
@@toobmaniac to be fair it’s a resin video, not stand up lol and not everyone may know that popcorn brand by name 🤷♀️
Some of you people aren't corny enough.
@@toobmaniac the only thing weird here is getting defensive because people on the internet don’t think you’re funny 😂

Good old father son relationship. Nothing better!
Oh this is just adorable 🥰
I love father-son videos
I love how well you and your son work together. You're both wonderful!
Cheers for using the thermometer, can't believe it gets so hot curing.
That's a crazy result, excited to see how it turns out with the different colour vacuumed into the void. Keep having Jake on, love the dynamic and discussion you two have
Looks like you have had a good weekend in the shed.
Great looking blank, thanks for the Monday morning video, a good way to start the week 👍😉
Thanks Dennis 😊👍
Thank you once again for a fun video full of your curiosity and creativity! Now my week can begin with a smile.
That end result! Faaaaarrk!!! 🤯
That would make for one *AWESOME* paperweight!
Can't wait to see what happens when you pull a vacuum with coloured resin on that! That is one of the more exciting parts about these experiments, seeing what cavities are formed and filled in with extra resin afterwards.
You two have the loveliest accents! I love just listening to you two. :-)
Love the two of you working together! Twice the fun! Great experiment. I was so wishing for a pop!
I thought the outcome was great, just like Star Trek warps in resin you get these really cool effects 👍 enjoying this so much, Thank you
Thanks Alison 😊
This channel is probably onenof the most wholesome channels I've seen. I love it. Ben is charming and a great host, and it's awesome that he wants to include jake. I love this channel so much
That came out so beautiful. I would love to see it lit up.
So stoked to see you and your son do another video together, he should be a regular character!! On another note, maybe make another cast with a cavity and put some oil in it with the kernels! not a huge amount of course, but enough to give the kernels a nice coating.
Good thing it didn't pop while curing as very hot resin blasting in your eyes doesn't sound fun. 😂
Where's your sense of adventure? Lol
Thank you. That was so cool! Can't wait for more from you and Jake!
That DID make an amazing one of a kind internal explosion. Those fractures will pick up light in all directions.
That’s an awesome look inside that blank. I love that!!! Hello Jake! 👋
Yo the way it cracked made it looks so cool, I’d literally buy something like that
Thanks Ben, for the extra video. It topped off the end of my day. Please tell Jake as well.
Well hello Jake & Ben !!..🙋...
Yep..encase it in resin and turn it !..😄...why not ?!...
Good to see ya fellas...on to the next mystery...
Happy Sunday...🌿🌿🌿
Thanks Pamela 😊
More Jake! He's adorable, and y'all are great together!
I totally agree... his smile 😃 😊
Woo whoo!! Awesome experiment! Love the effect you guys got!
Thanks Mate
I wonder what you guys will think of next 🤔………….oooh , can’t wait !
God Bless🙏🏼
Yay, another Dad and son video. Can’t wait for the next video.
Thankyou 😊
I love this video it was awesome I love the way popcorn turn into steam and I hope Jake is in future videos
Thanks Karen 😊
I really enjoy watching your videos...it was very exciting. I enjoyed seeing your son.
Love these ideas you are doing and the results. Who would have thought that watching popcorn in the microwave would be so captivating!Maybe a new egg idea for you with one exploded kernal in the middle!
Thanks Jill 😊👍
Jake is for sure your son 😂😂 the same freaking smile, awesome job for adding him in. Great content Ben!
Thankyou 😊
Can’t wait to see what you turn that into :) good to see you again Jake
Another great father son video 👍 keep them coming love the content
Yay, another episode of the Ben & Jake Show and more coming 😁

Love it, again good to see Jake, (that's my youngest son's name) keep up the great videos. Live the channel I get lots of ideas for my shop.
It looks SO COOL; can't wait to see what y'all make!
I'd really love to see what Jake has in mind for an experiment or four!
Gents, great video!
As a doctor though I would not recommend hovering your faces over molten resin with the expectation of it exploding any moment 😳
Put it in the microwave as the resin is reaching peak temperature to boost it a little, I think it will only need seconds.
Another idea would be to do intentionally overheat the resin. I think Peter brown did that when he made the “lava bowls” using water based dyes. Maybe adding a bit of water would work?
Hi Jake. That was amazingly cool looking

Oh I can’t wait to see what you do with that!!!!
Another one I wasn't expecting Either! Great job guys Lets what happens in your next video!
Still an awesome result, well done guys 😎
That looked awesome.
Hope you turn it into something!
If you time it right, can you cure the resin in the microwave. start liquid but curing with the microwave running
You look like you enjoy filming with your son. Who needs Mr. Wizard we've got Ben's Worx
Thanks Mark, yeah he’s awesome 😊
I like the bubble effect.
If its a throwaway microwave you can modify it to have a small porthole where you can get a better view of whats happening.
If not you can always adjust the focal length of your lens to view inside the microwave
They both seem like really good men. I definitely want to see more of Jake.

I want to make some resin videos, and I have some ideas. But they won’t be like yours man. You do some really cool stuff!!
It looks like crystals, it looks awsome
This is a good result despite exspectations.
Still a pretty awesome experiment.
Yay was hoping you would do something with it. It looks way too cool to leave 😁
Yay Jake is back. He is handsome like his Dad! I gotta say too that the ppl in the comments are brilliant. I didn't think of the pressure pot thing. And thank you for the bonus episode. I love watching your Ch. Ben.
that looks amazing. honestly I think it looked better without the added resin though, look's like a golden fractal explosion!
THAT WENT EXACTLY TO PLAN
