#epoxyresin - Розваги
You should try soaking the beads in stabilizing resin since it's much more water-like and you can soak them for as long as need be without worrying about the resin curing. Then spread them on cookie sheets and cure them in the oven. Finally cast them in your usual resin. Provided the beads absorb the stabilizing resin, you should end up with a blank filled with full sized beads that you can turn.
Also, with the current blank you just made, let the beads dry and shrink so you can shake them out, then fill the voids left behind with colourful resin.
LOVE THIS IDEA❤!
Things what I was wondering, if there is a way to stabilise each orbee first
I can say that if you soak them in alcohol, they won't absorb any of it. Alcohol mixed with water definitely leaves at least some alcohol behind in the container if it's sealed so it can't evaporate. From my own experiments in seeing if it's possible to use black ones as 'frog's eyes' in potion bottles left in an area they may freeze. Can also say that they shrink as they freeze, and it's weird to see how the water is forced out while freezing, but not in ALL beads.
It’d be interesting to see what happens when they all dehydrate and return to the normal size
you mean rehydrate
@@TheStonedSpidR nope 😊They are hydrated now. They need to lose their water, dehydrate
The escaping Orbeez are probably screaming "We're free, we're free!" lol
....
At least until he squishes them. LOL
We're FREE! We're FREEEE*squish
Put us BACK! Put us BACK!
🤣🤣🤣
"Dang it."
I remember getting them for the the bathroom too help deal with shower humidity before that started making them all colorful.
Love when we get to see the raw hard work of flipping the resin around
I wonder if you use a very thin viscosity resin and soak the Orbeez in part a or part b only. Then after they have expanded some, mix in the other part of the resin. ?? Wonder if that'd get you what you were looking for.
Yeah, I was wondering about that. Something to expand and soak them. But then... might as well buy solid beads in the first place.
I always love watching your trial and error process! You’ve made some pretty incredible abominations! 😂
9:50 Anyone with trypophobia is gonna have a field day. Right. About. Now. Lol
I just did. I'm not feeling so well. 😮
But Nick is so worth watching!!!
I didn’t know I had it till I watched him. I felt like jumping out of my skin!
Yeah a warning would have been nice lol
@@jlindsey79 Nick may have never heard of it before. It's not as much talked about as things like Vertigo, etc.
I wish I’d seen this first…
I had to look it up, but you did this same project 5 years ago too😬
he did yep
Its a re upload video for sure 😅
@@jurriaanvanderlinden3605 he just added a new ending. I went back and watched the old video and this is just a new edit. There are air bubbles/cracks when he 1st takes the tiny orbeez and resin out of the pressure pot early and the "cracks" are in the exact same spots in both videos. Also, when he peels the leftover resin and tiny orbeez out of the container it is the same.
@@labjar43 you're completely right. Thank you🙏🏻
I genuinely thought I was going insane after watching and waiting for a reference to that video and looking for ANYBODY else that had the same thought.
thank you.
i would thought maybe isopropyl alcohol to soak the beads in.. though not sure the effect it would have on the beads or the colour.. just thought it might be better for the resin.. also you could try a very runny slow resin so the beads might soak it. though what would be cool if is you make it again and then let them all dry up again so they drop out then pour another coloured resin in to fill the holes then when it is lathed you would get that strange mix. :) but you would have to wait for them to dry up
Beads just absorb water, not alcohol. In fact, IPA will draw moisture out of already wet orbeez.
was on about using dry ones and see if they soak up the ipa. was not on about using soaked water orbeez :) @@MickTee2k
@@TKs3DPrints Restating my comment:
Dry beads don't absorb IPA, they only absorb water.
Additional info: IPA actually sucks the water out of "full" beads.
Can’t wait to see what you end up making with this 😊
I thought I saw this before. And I did. On your channel. 😂
I thought that too.
ME TOO! And IIRC, we told him to fill the cavities with colored resin.
This was totally funkadelic!!!
Awesome job, Nick!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
The interesting thing with this is if you let it sit in a warm place, the water beads will dry out and shrink down, allowing them to reduce in size and fall out of the holes easier, leaving the impressions in the resin behind.
You can then remove the beads and have an interesting mould of resin as an art piece or fill the holes with layers of colored resin, slowly and make a whole other piece of art.
When I was a kid and public school didn’t automatically think that kids were too stupid to do projects with hot wax or archery or riflery; when school actually taught kids how to balance their bank account or cook for themselves… Anyway, when I was a kid, I learned how to make candles, using an empty cardboard milk carton, ice cubes, a pencil, a string for wick, and paraffin.
First, you cut the top off the milk carton so you basically have a square cup. You tie the string around the pencil, long enough for it to touch the bottom of the carton, and then lay the pencil across the top of the carton. You fill the carton with ice cubes. Then you melt your paraffin until it is completely liquid, and then gently pour it into the carton over the ice cubes.
Once it’s completely hardened, you pour the water out and remove the carton from your candle. What you’re left with is a candle that basically resembles Swiss cheese. as the candle burns, the wax will pour out the various holes, so you have to make sure you put it on some kind of non-flammable dish to catch the wax. What I usually do is just cover a salad plate with aluminum foil and use that as my candle holder.
The more adults and the school systems underestimate kids and don’t challenge their minds or teach them the respect of fire arms or even each other, the worse everything is going to get. I have no issue whatsoever if my kid’s teacher taught this as an art project or even a science project because art and science are basically the same thing it’s all depends on how you look at it .
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a throwback video?
I love to watch the orbees popping out of the set resin!
I really think that it would look way cool if you poured a little bit more resin and orbees in a taller bowl, let it set and then leave the orbees to dry up and pop out. Then take that blank and re pour a different color of resin to fill the voids! It could potentially be a Funky project!!
Another fun and crazy idea. Thank you for sharing!
Yeah NICK, I WANNA SEE WUT YA MAKE WITH THAT!!!!❤❤❤❤❤💛💛🙋♀️💛💛👍👍👍
man you're bringing all the classics back
Or bee's? 😂
Hopefully you get more views on this experiment this time. Appreciate your work on the re-edit.
If you build it up in layers I think you could make a pretty funkadalik light out of it.
First make a 2cm layer with orbees, when it hardened.
Place a light bulb or led in the middle of it. Fix it with uv-resin. Make a hole in the mold for the electric cable. Make sure everything is fixed with uv resin. Then poor the 2nd layer on top of it filled with orbees.
When it's hardened make a third layer of clear epoxy over the top of only a cm. In that way the orbees can't escape.
And finally cut the mold open with a Stanley blade. And turn on the light of your orbees nightlight 🥳🥳🥳
I get a kick out of things you come up with, and create that look really cool and different.
Nick, here is something for you to try. make a mold of clear resin. turn that down for the shavings. Then take those shavings and use them when you are mixing a material that normally sinks in resin. The shavings will turn transparent in the new resin and will hold the sinking or floating non resin material in place.
Bonus for using a colored resin for the shaving and a different colored resin for the rest.
If you stop by Yandles, they have some cool Zebra Wood that might go with this! This gave me deja vu super hard until I realized. Long time viewer, nice to see some classic projects get new eyes! :]
I would really like to see this submerged in something that will dissolve the orbeez or dry them out so you can shake them all out and leave nothing but the holes. This could be a really cool concept for a table. You pour it in layers and the last layer is thin enough that the orbeez are poking out of the top. Then pick out the orbeez and fill the holes with another color.
Perhaps mix half with part A and half with part B wait a bit before mixing together. The beads might absorb the independent parts better?
This is actually something I have been wanting to see with resin, I have seen molten gold poured onto a bucket of orbeez and it comes out amazing, you might be able to do the same thing with nearly-set resin.
As for the project you're on at the moment though, if you use the same amount of resin but a higher container with extra orbeez to provide extra weight that will squish the lower ones together more, creating a larger contact point between them. That way you just leave the result for a week or two and have the dried-out orbeez just fall out.
I love how you just keep on even when it's a mess! sometimes we give up too soon and miss out on a pretty cool project, can't wait to see what's next!
I have spent hours upon hours watching and enjoying so many of your diys. It is like watching a comedy diy movie. Your being handsome helps, please keep up the unique diys, a ton of people enjoy them!
Haha thank you means a lot ! Much appreciated glad you enjoy the content 😌
Dude! Mark the sides of the blank and cut it open on the band saw. Then line it up and do a black resin pour. Then turn it. Think you can make something pretty funky with it.
Also what if you used 2:1 slow cure so they might soak up being a lower viscosity.
In a parallel universe where the dominant race is orbeez, a giant finger appears from the sky and squishes a few individuals... They all scream in terror while Nick Whispers "so satisfying!" 😂
looks like orbeez soup at first lol. Have to say, the orbeeze from the water plumping formed better.. still cool looking!
You know what could be a cool project? Get some glass marbles and drill small holes halfway through them.
Take a bunch of pipe cleaners and braid some glass fiber optic strands onto them, then construct like and old Banyan tree with branches. Bundle the glass strands at the tree's root and leave loose ends in the branches. Then, maybe use UV resin to attach the fiber optic strands into the holes drilled into marbles. Like fruit! Perhaps add some small craft leaves.
Use a nice piece of wood as a base and drill a hole to let the glass fibers through. Then, encase the tree with resin. Connect the fibers to a light, and create a strange tree of different colored and sized marbles that light up!
You are fearless. It's so cool that you will try anything and repeat the process if needed.
Love Orbees 😁, looking forward to seeing what you make out of it Nick xx❤
if you did this again, you could do short layers. let the orbeez escape, fill the voids with a totally different resin color(s), then repeat on the next layer up! I'd bet you could make an AWESOME piece from it!
Love these! They love to fly 😂❤
Try the bowl in a bowl method! Then pop the orbies out and add coloured resin to fill all the holes!
I wonder what a collection of the scraps ( from all your projects) would look like mixed resined and turned. 😮
I am looking forward to what you make!
That would make an awesome clock!!!! Im still hoping to see a new lego project soon😊
Very cool!!!
Love it
That gave me an idea-have you tried setting crushed orbies in resin or jelly in resin?? Different ways such as: set jelly cubes, jelly crystals (from the packet straight into resin).
9:11 OHHHH WHAT A DREAM
Can’t wait to see how this turns out 😊
12:10 give this man every stim toy we have
If I remember correctly, try pouring salt over it. I'm pretty sure that will cause the beads to lose water and they should fall out easier.
Looks like a lovely lamp topper
Beadgooey lol It was quite satisfying watching you pop them lol
Hi Nicki Z! Have you ever heard of molecular seives? They're used in chemistry to remove water from chemicals. They have teeny holes that only water molecules will fit in. That's just like Orbees. The resin is just too big to fit in an Orbee.
Oh P.S. I really want to see what you can do with this project! I'm super duper excited! 😊
You could fill the holes left by the orbeez with some fun colored resin!
Your always entertaining no matter what you do. I laughed and smiled thru this video. If you used the Orbeez as they are and let your resin start to set before you put them in they wouldn't sink so much and might distribute throughout the resin. That would still be a colorful project and you could put that on the lathe.
2 ideas. (keep in mind i'm only 4 minutes in). 1 use half the water needed to swell the beeds, hopefully that keeps it from wetting the resin. and 2 i don't know if you seen the magnetic mixing rods used in chemistry? set up a mixing rod in the pressure chamber. maybe the base could work under the pot. this way you can have it stirring while it hardens. you may lose the rod, but it may do something cool.
Try letting the orbies soak up water first.
A crazy idea would be a terrarium. Perhaps a plastic bag filled with pond water, fill cover it with resin. Turn a cool shape with it. And place it in the sun and see what life grows in it over time. Perhaps a livin finnel for an other project.
You're such a tease, Nick! Of course I want to see what you make with this thing. The smashing was very satisfying, the white one was like popping a zit! LOL
I thought this project turned out very neat in the end.
I'd like to see you put missing side down on one of your lighted stands and let the light shine thru. Nice piece of 'funkadelic' art work.
Orbeez coasters? Maybe try beads in resin.
I think the word you were looking for when describing the half set beads and resin was floam. It was a mix of slime and Styrofoam that you could play with like play dough. I believe it was a 90s toy.
So very cool 😊
I've tried this! After the initial 24 hour cure I put it in the bottom of the aga to dry the orbeez out, it took days and even though I coloured the resin with turquoise dye it ended up translucent white. Using bigger orbeez is the way to go as they'll come out easier when dried.
Just think if you did a small layer of water filled orbeez in resin. Then when they dry out and exit the resin, you could add colored resin for a really nice effect. You could even do that several times with different colored resin. Glue all of the colored bits together and then make something out of that
Nick, I would do this again but with the intent of using only the resin portion at the end. Removing all of the water beads out and then filling in the cavities with a different colored resin. Or just leave it and have an oddly textured box or sphere.
If you put that in a food dryer (those things you dry fruit in or make jerky) it'd drastically reduce the dry time.
Those are really cool. You should make a bunch of them. I'd love to see you pour a different coloured (spelled with a U for you) into a honeycomb blank
It would be cool to let all of the Orbeez dehydrate again and then pour another resin in to fill all the voids left. You'd probably have to use a vacuum chamber to pull the resin into all of the nooks and crannies...
Nice sir.
Nik, put them in a jug, soak them in water, when they ‘grow,
(enjoy the relaxing moment of waving ur fingers thru then) remove & lay on paper towels till dry..Then, add the resin! Sorted!
Or… wait till resin gets warm, 30%. Or 15/20/ mins then pour over & enjoy.
Didn’t see a kettle so assumed you hadn’t used water to bloat them… till I re watched 3 times lol
Wait until the resin dries? Nahhh. Very on-brand. :)
Yes to the comment below i thought i remember this product da java lmao same mistakes and same popping bubbles but very enjoyable to watch 😁🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks for watching!
I hope your filling it with different colored resin
That is going to be a mess just like last time you did those. Have a great weekend ✌️
Would a balloon filled with water survive in resin as it cures? If so a clear balloon with pearlescent liquid would seem pretty cool 😎.
I like to see you dey out the beeds so they shrik and can be removed the do a second resin in a different colour. Like a honeycomb.
Also you could try soaking the dey beeds in the 2 parts of the resin before you mix them. The beeds might absorb the resin over a day or so the mix them maybe.
Keep up the good work mate i love these experiments
Just subscribed! I love this idea and even more so how much fun you have with it!
🙏🏽❤️
11:56 Awesome replacement since they're starting to make unpoppable bubble wrap.
I wonder how many would fall out if you let them dry out completely. Give you an interesting pattern to play with
I saw something on a cooking show once, a Japanese dish possibly, natto, maybe. Slimy soy beans. It’s been a while since, but that’s what it reminds me of.
Would highly recommend content alcohol work to hydrate the orbees? I’ve seen alcohol based tints for epoxy in the past so it might mix.
Try fizzy tabs, Alka-Seltzer.
Try the beads again but wait till it starts to thicken before adding the orbeez.
It should make an interesting project!
I would use the water beads in my flower pots mixed in the dirt. Saved me so much time watering.
How do you do that, that sounds like something I need!
You should stick the one with the small Orbeez in water to see what happens!
Maybe you can try orbies with just one part of the epoxy.See, let them swell up, then add the other part.For it to harden then mix it .
You could pour out your two parts, add the beads to expand a while, then mix the 2 parts together.
Funky fish eggs lol😂
Hey Nick. Cool idea! It looks great. Just a thought what would happen if you soaked them in penetrating resin first. It is thin like water but hardens.
Nick you are teasing us 😊
If you coat the Orbees in oil, the moisture is less intense, and you get an almost clear mold. I rinse them in rubbing alcohol and then set them in mineral oil for 5 minutes before putting them in the mold.
This was a cool video. I don't know whether to call it a fail or not because the result is just so damn cool. I can't wait to see what you do with this unsuccessful success. Lol
Can you do it again, but separate all the colors and layer them in rainbow order!? Pleeeeeeaaaaasssseee!
If u could melt out the orbies somehow then fill the gaps left with different coloured or clear resin that would look cool when turned
Maybe try to expand them in stabilizing resin? Since the resin stays liquid, maybe it might penetrate the orbeez like water does.
I love the way you post videos success or fail and, as my grandfather used to say, with warts and all.
And those Orbeez bouncing all over the place just plain hit my funny bone for some reason.
I think your idea of stirring the dry Orbeas after an hour would make a lovely piece, I'm just wondering if a regular mold would work better than wood turning? Maybe a pencil holder?
Maybe when they dry out they'll all just fall out leaving you with a honeycomb. Which you could fill with another resin or leave blank? Either would be cool.
I wonder of using a compressed air wand from your compressor and getting the air under each would pop those surface ones out faster. Love it!
So cool
I'd do the first pour in a color,, let the orbeez shrink out, and pour a second color in the space left behind
I keep wondering when Nick will finally figure out that water and resin don't mix and anything containing water won't stick to resin and vice versa. I do a face palm every time one of these type of videos starts, because I already know how it will turn out.
One thing that might work though: Hydrate the beads in water, then drain them and put them into pure Polycryl. The water in the beads should migrate out and be replaced by the plastic in the Polycryl. After enough time, take the beads out and let them dry. The hardened Polycryl should prevent them from shrinking too much. They might be compatible with the resin then, and the white hazing might not occur. You could also try hydrating them directly in Polycryl, but I don't know if it contains enough water for that.
