    It’s so cool, some strange reason it reminds me of an alien egg that changes with its environment lol I think it would be cool to fill & surround a soda, beer or energy drink can in resin then turn it into a drink tumbler :) you could add those colour changing crystals into the centre of the tumbler so it’ll change colour when you add your drink to it :)

    A slightly smaller size would make a pretty cool shift knob. Good job once again Ben! I wonder if you could cast a clear sphere, then cast that again in the black resin and turn a sphere again so the black layer is thin. Then put an LED in the middle. It's be pretty complicated but may look cool

  • @kimhuff

    Evan & Katlyn used this stuff but they made a toilet seat out of it. They sprayed it on a black toilet seat and did many coats. Then they put a layer of resin over the toilet seat and when it was all dry they put it on their toilet. The results were great when they sat down. I'm definitely doing this to our small half bath on our main floor. The walls are filled with dry-erase board and we have a shelf filled with markers so people can contribute. A seat like that will fit nicely in our bathroom.
    Thank you for doing this project. It definitely kindled my creative urges to work on that project. I still need to buy the supplies including something to spray the paint with.

    I love your Videos Ben. At least sometimes the F.B. algorithms get it right. It's something I just couldn't afford to do... as well as you do it with tooling etc. Plus experience! Really my favourite part was that black Sharpie trick you did. Marking the circumference. Such a little thing, that may only save you half a second and make things just a tiny bit easier. Everything you do is so time consuming, it adds up fast! I stumbled on your page after researching 2 part resin after giving Acrylic paint pour art a try. I'm super artistically minded and always doing something. I really appreciate you showing when something just doesn't work out and you and explain what happened or what you feel went wrong. I'm an Auto Technician and into electronics and 80's stuff, woodworking etc. So your videos really check all the boxes. I also find them quite relaxing. Cheers!

    Use a copper inlay of your logo in the mood-ball before applying a concealing black layer again. Then add the color changing pigment.
    Logo will show up when heated/cooled. Good for giving the ball an orientation as well so ppl can decide to have it show the logo or put it down on the stand.
