what about drilling a few holes and putting water inside to help dissolve any residue left, then using coloured resin and the vacuum pot so it sucks the coloured resin into the voids
That was fantastic! I really thought they were gonna be mad fizzy, but the fully "crystallized" one you called an alien planet should be a night light to see the bubbles lit up! Thank you Ben♥️
Just want to say we love your videos! I'm a disabled stay-at-home dad who homeschools our 7yr old son, and we have actually used quite a few of your experiments in our science lessons on cause and effect. I can't wait to show him this one and try to recreate your outcomes. Thank you for the awesome content!
The seond one would make a great winter wonderland snow globe base. Drill the bottom and put some colored resin in it. Enclose it in a shell with glycerin and some form of snow flakes. Then cast in a larger mass of resin and turn.
Letting them cure in the vacuum chamber might have some more reactive results. Also, it kinda looked like water was coming out of the fizzers. I'm wondering if there's moisture trapped in the salts that make up the fizzer and the heat from the resin is somehow letting that escape and react to make the more intense fizzing we saw at the end. Regardless, these things make some beautifully random voids that would look fantastic filled with another color.
i wondered if the vacuum chamber would make a difference, also. the basic ingredients of a bath bomb is baking soda, citric acid, and just enough oil and water to hold it together, so i think you're right about the heat.
no that would be it at all bath bombs are mostly baking soda and Citric acid if there was moisture in them at all they would fizz i have ruined may a batch of home made bath bombs by adding too much moisture it could be a reaction between the baking soda or the Citric acid and the resin
@@ctempleman1401 just looked it up and citric acid is C6H8O7 (sorry about the formatting). Nothing there would put out water without some extreme alterations. I did, however, find a vagrant of citric acid called citric acid monohydrate that's literally just a citric acid molecule with a water molecule. I'm pretty sure the monohydrate version is formed when the ingredients mix with water, so they should have been dry going into the resin. However, it could have reacted with water in the air to bring a small amount of water into the cast. That means the bubbles would have been water/steam escaping not the fizzer reacting with the resin. This is all just speculation based off one ingredient. I have no idea what else goes into bath fizzers and only kind of understand how citric acid works here.
thanks Ben that was incredible. I loved both as well but the second one was soooo interesting. I think when you pull the second one out you are going to have a lot of empty space. It would be interesting to see if you could remove the bath bomb and fill the vacant site with a coloured resin. Just a thought :-)
Drill a whole in the bottom and get the ball out and fill it with separate resin then make eggs or a night light…. Also cool experiment ideas dish soap in resin then when its close to curing put it in a vacuum chamber 😂 i just wanna see a giant resin bubble…. Or what happens if you put an air pump in curing resin
That was so awesome you know a really good project for them would be making candle holders to use in the bathroom and fill the holes with different-colored resin
What a pretty effect (I bet you could use it for a water effect where you fill up the voids after, and stuff) Ok, Here's an Idea: Try grinding up those bath things into powder. Then lay down glue where you want to grow ice tree things and apply the powder (I bet you'll have to pack it well). you could pick where it grows and how much..?? I dunno.. ur the artist. 😝 Cool stuff dude!
Ok, now that was bloody cool! I desperately want to try playing with resin just to do this and have the coolest paperweight in the office!! I am so in love with you and your videos!!! ♥️♥️♥️🤭
THANK YOU for including the info about your mask, gloves and other safety equipment/ppe! so many ppl dont realize how dangerous resin can be and as entertaining as it is to watch safety is so important
Another really cool experiment Ben! I agree with everyone in the comments on trying to incorporate another color in the voids of the fixer! That second one looks really interesting! Cheers mate!🍻
Cool experiment. Thank you to the person who supplied the bath bombsbombs. Acid + Base = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Salt is the simple reaction. Looks great in the resin, captured as if in slow motion and then frozen. Love experiments or projects.
I love these experiments! Next time Ben from the future shows up, ask him to wear a cool costume. Or, just the way he is :-) thats fine too! Thanks for sharing!
That half sphere one turned out really cool. It would be interesting if you could vacuum seal another color into it. Probably make a nice lamp of some sort.
I wonder if a vacuum chamber would have change the result . It was still fun and interesting to watch . Also mentioned you in my new video I hope my viewers love your videos as much as I do keep up the great work
this was such a delightful video, just some peaceful music and a chill experiment. I love watching these when there's a lull at work, just a few bite sized pieces of calm vibes. ♥️
Your experiments are a thrill to watch! I love the unexpected results at the end. This one is no exception. The one that was cut in half, looks like a mushroom cloud of an explosion suspended in resin. Some color would've set them both off nicely.
can you pour resin into a container and keep it spinning while the resin sets then you should end up with a whirlpool effect so you can add a different colour and keep doing it until you have a full pot then turn it on the lathe. im not sure if this makes sense to you. great videos as always mate.
That was a surprise, I didn't expect anything to happen, awesome result. When I seen no2 my first thought was a new project, landscape. Great video, thanks to Lauren for the bombs, good thinking. Bath bomb did look like a beer but then you are in Australia 🤣sorry Ben couldn't resist that. Thank you, great stuff 👍
I didn't expect them to react at all really, since it's the process of dissolving in water that allows the chemical reaction to happen, but they came out really cool! I especially like the second one.
The second one was awesome! I bet if you glued the half ball into a hole in some burl and used colored resin you’d have a mind blowing volcano or alien landscape effect!
Gallium Metal and Resin. Gallium melts at very low temps so would be interesting to see what hot curing resin makes it do. I have a suburb called Glendale near me. I wonder if it’s the same one Lauren comes from. Small world.
Putting some small but bright, even colour changing led in the bottom of the second one should give some really nice effects. Could make it into a unique bedside nightlight 👍
Hey Ben! Love the show! You should still a smell hole down into the bath bombs and add water to rinse it out and then fill up the voids with a colored resin!
That was interesting. I love these experiments that you do. I hope you get to do a project with the bath bombs and make something cool. Thank you for sharing. :)
That was great to see, I didn't think the bath bombs would react like that. I wonder how dehydrated or freeze dried food would react. I know people make there own bath bombs and maybe food colouring could be added to the process to see how that would turn out.
It'd be a huge mess but I'd love to see this again but combined with your water experiments so the water pops on to the bath bomb part way through cure.
Yes pleace use them in a project, I would tourn them in to little night lights, maybe making them round. What brings bath bombs makes react is bakingsoda or natron with something sour like vinegard. Maybe you can some how use this effect on purpose. That would be owsom. Color would make the effekt even more spectacular.
That makes sense you would hear up like that because you didn't know how the chemical reaction would be with everything you had going on at the time with the fizzy and the resin chemicals on top of everything else going on at the time. I like how the bubbles formed in all the rain as you were all waiting for that all to set up and harden like it should
Drill a hole in the second one and see if you can dissolve what's left of the bath bomb, and then put it in a vacuum chamber with colored resin to see if you can fill the voids!
The reason the resin doesn’t react the same way as water is because water is a polar medium (the electric charge of the neutral H2O molecule is unevenly distributed, making it reactive), while resin is apolar - making it non reactive to most things that depend on charge. It is one of the reasons liquid water is considered essential for life: most other liquids don’t allow the same range of chemical reactions to happen. Some things do react with resin, though; mostly by accelerating the polymerization process. From what I know of and have experienced thus far, Chlorine salts (like those in bleach) and lye (sodium hydroxide) will have an effect on resin. These are aggressive chemicals that can make the resin bubble and froth wildly as it basically boils - the reaction is sped up to an insane degree (a resin in an amount which usually takes 24 hours to cure was solid in under an hour, from dissolved lye residue coating the inside of the item it was poured into, and that was after the item was rinsed a couple of times). I have not experimented directly with bleach, but have seen someone use a tinted bleach (for toilet cleaning) as a dye in resin, which also had some exciting results. What happened to your fizzers would probably be due to the bath bombs being relatively porous, so while the resin heats up and expands, it heats up the air which also expands, and the greater porosity of the center (which is not smoothed out like the outside) enabled the more lively ejection of bubbles in the halved one.
Way better than I expected. I thought it wouldn't do anything. Nice surprise ! I liked them both. I wonder what one whole big one would do? Plus you didn't try the the flat ones. Might make s good short.
Thanks for stopping by, If you have time you can check out my new range of Eggs here www.etsy.com/shop/bensworx
Gotta get those animals that grow in water
Wow I love this especially the second one.
I would drill into the air cavity and put water into it to dissolve out the bath boom and then add blue or another color to the opened area
ABSOLUTELY EPIC
Try and resin your nuts
I wonder what would happen if you drilled out the bottom, fizz it out with water, and then put coloured resin in the voids that has been left?
Came to the comments to say this!
That's exactly what I was wondering!
Did you just steal my idea?!
😜
Looks like a number of us are thinking the same thing!
was going to suggest basically the same thing
what about drilling a few holes and putting water inside to help dissolve any residue left, then using coloured resin and the vacuum pot so it sucks the coloured resin into the voids

@@redschafer7804 I wonder if it's carbon dioxide and water as the base reaction. I can't remember the chemical make-up of citric acid.

I thought the same. I bet it would look amazing. Maybe some glow in the dark resin?

Awesome Video Ben worx It was absolutely Amazing and stunning hope you are all well
Thanks Mate
Amazing would like to see what a Vinyl Record in resins turns out like!!👍👍🏽👍🏻
That last one was the best. I rewatched that part several times as it made what I thought looked like a forest of trees. Thanks Ben!! 🤩😁🤗😲🙀👍
Thanks Ben. That was fun!

I love to these little experiment videos you do man. Great vid as always
Thankyou
A small coil of firework fuse set in resin and just as it’s starting to go off hard light the fuse. I think it would make an interesting piece 👍
The second one is my favorite too. It looks super neat!
Looks amazing! Definitely a project with fairy lights to show off the crystal like formations
Another great video Ben. Thank you for taking safety seriously and thank you Laura too
Hey Ben
Project or experiment, I will watch.
Take care and Happy Weekend
I love watching your experiments, well all your videos
Woke up this morning with no idea was going to see something like this today, very cool.
Could you drill a hole in the bottom and pump some water in to clear out the remaining fizzer material, and then fill the void with colored resin?
The second reminded me of frost, it would make an interesting project though I am not sure how
The second one was so amazing to see, like a slow motion bomb! It could be cool to fill those voids with some color.
Ok, now that was bloody cool! I desperately want to try playing with resin just to do this and have the coolest paperweight in the office!! I am so in love with you and your videos!!! ♥️♥️♥️🤭
The last one looks like a floating island covered in snow! Such an awesome experiment!
THANK YOU for including the info about your mask, gloves and other safety equipment/ppe! so many ppl dont realize how dangerous resin can be and as entertaining as it is to watch safety is so important
you definitely have to try and get some color into those voids
Very cool results
Looked really cool!
Nicely done!
Another really cool experiment Ben! I agree with everyone in the comments on trying to incorporate another color in the voids of the fixer! That second one looks really interesting! Cheers mate!🍻
1:57 The music is called "Morning Mandolin" by Chris Haugen.
They look great...maybe a colored light to show the forms would be good?
Wow so cool! That second one definitely looks fizzy to me but like the reaction got trapped as the resin cured. Stuck in time
Cool experiment. Thank you to the person who supplied the bath bombsbombs.
Acid + Base = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Salt is the simple reaction. Looks great in the resin, captured as if in slow motion and then frozen. Love experiments or projects.
What a fun video! Great idea Lauren!!
If the voids were filled with colours, these would make some amazing eggs!!!
I love your videos. They’re so uplifting and I feel like what I imagine kids feel like watching that Blippi guy
You sound like the sweetest, most friendly Australian. I like your vibe 😊
It's been a rough week and it was really nice to see a new video from you. Thanks!

Love thr crystallisation effect from the half sphere.
Your voice is so friendly, it soothes me.
Being that the resin has more density I think it will make it through , also I different colored sand would be a great idea for a project .
Great one❤️😅🤓
Thanks Michael
i really would love to see you do a project with the second one!
we stan a creator who actually uses proper PPE when working with hazardous materials
I didn't expect them to react at all really, since it's the process of dissolving in water that allows the chemical reaction to happen, but they came out really cool! I especially like the second one.
I'm drunk, stoned, eating Funyons, and watching this video. Life Is Good.
The second one was awesome! I bet if you glued the half ball into a hole in some burl and used colored resin you’d have a mind blowing volcano or alien landscape effect!
This was so neat to watch. I really liked the last one. You should cast it in a bigger container and then "egg" it!
I wonder if you can fill the bubbles with colored resin. Maybe turn them into domed paperweights.
Nice to find a video up after coming home from a meeting. I expected a whole bunch of nothing, so I was pleasantly surprised. That was a good idea.
You can't trick me into leaving a comment!
Wait....AW DAMMIT

Thank you, Ben! Really enjoyed this experiment.
This is a fun one, great work as always ❤
Great video.
Your videos are always fun and relaxing to watch. Keep up the good work. 😎👍💯
It would be really cool to see how light would interact with the halved one. Super cool experiment!
Putting some small but bright, even colour changing led in the bottom of the second one should give some really nice effects. Could make it into a unique bedside nightlight 👍
Looked awesome and was really interesting to see what happened
I just love the experiment videos! 🎉
Love the channel Ben. I appreciate your good nature and wholesome content. God bless and be well brother.

When it didn't react to the UV resin, I expected there wouldn't be any reaction at all, but this was really cool
Thanks Lauren. Thanks Ben too of course ☺️

You should make some cool JDM style bubble shiftknobs with them!!!

Well that was unexpected! I thought the fizzer needed water to start producing gas, so would just sit there. Results definitely look very cool!
That was so cool... thanks for sharing.
The last one would look cool with a light under it.
