Under the right conditions, (presumably cool, dark, extremely low humidity) marshmallows will turn hard as golf balls. I found a fossilized bag of marshmallows under a shelf in a grocery store that looked normal, but clattered like golf balls when dropped.
As the insane person who prefers marshmallows like that, the conditions are indeed cool and dark. My preferred method is open the bag, put in the back of the cupboard or I prefer the back of a drawr(tend to put it in the same drawer as rice) shake the bag every week or so to allow the ones further in the bag to dry. I tend to do so with mini marshmallows because its quicker. Wait till preffered consitency. (I like stale but not quite gold ball hard.)
Peter, you should collab with nilered on transparent wood. He's got the science really close but he could really use your knowledge of wood and resin. Go check out his videos on the first 2 attempts. They are so interesting! He's friends with William Osman. I know you guys did a collab before. Please Peter, check it out and see what you think.
@@comradegarrett1202 exactly and Nigel was really struggling with cutting the wood. Seems like the 2 of them together could actually exceed the original study. I've been commenting on Nigel's vids too. If anyone reading this is on Twitter can you please make a post there and tag these 2? I would love to see this happen.
@@rawovunlapin8201 It went better than I expected... I expected the Smoke Detector to go bonkers when they burst into flame and then Mr. Brown would have a LOT of 'Splanin to do to Mrs. Brown after he goes to the store to buy a new Fire Extinguisher and Toaster Oven to replace what was used/burned in the Shop...
I had that reaction both to that and pulling the vacuum. Our chemistry teacher in college would put marshmallows in vacuum just for fun. He’s put a smiley face on it, and have one outside the pot with a smiley face for comparison. 😂
I've been watching your videos for around 5 years now and recently I gathered my first set of resin tools, molds and my first bottles of resin :) you inspired me to start working with resin, and it's been a wonderful time experimenting with it. Thank you so much for showing me such a wonderful hobby, Peter!
Now I'm curious if the marshmallows will eventually shrivel up but the resin will stay solid so there will just be a shriveled marshmallow in a marshmallow shaped shell
Peter, instead of a heat activated, very thin resin like cactus juice, can't you use a 2-part resin that has a very low viscosity and a really long cure time to drown them into, suck all the air out, let the atmospheric pressure back in and so on and then it cures without needing a hot oven? But marshmallows react much different to vacuum anyways, because its cell walls stick to each other, unlike cellulose/sponge cells which are kind of open (if you put a piece of kitchen sponge into a pipe, water will filter through, unless compressed too much, but with a marshmallow, no chance)
Maybe. I have some penetrating resin that's used for punky wood. But it wouldn't change the sugar content of the candy. No sure if it would be much different in the end.
Kim Tippen and Doug from Pohl Barn both occasionally mix a batch of Resin and then thin it with an equal amount of acetone. It makes a GREAT Penetrating Resin for soft/punky/rotten wood and all the acetone does is make the Resin Cure a little slower, it doesn't affect the final hardness/strength of the Cured Resin... I'm not sure what acetone would do to a marshmallow, but it won't hurt the Resin...
Afterlife is THE #1 movie I am most excited for that got pushed due to the pandemic. I am SO READY for it to finally arrive! Videos like this only raise my excitement!!!
After seeing Evan and Katelyn's attempts to preserve toast and pumpkins by coating them with resin, I'm not sure these will still be looking good in a few months or a year. Please keep us updated!
How heavy is a resin mallow vs a plain one? When discussing how many to remove I was hoping you'd try weighing it and see if you could remove enough to get to the advertised package weight and still have a viable prop, but I also have no idea how much weight the resin added.
That's a great question! I personally don't have a precision scale, but I can tell you the difference is negligible. The difference is hardly detectable by holding them if I didn't know there was a difference, I probably couldn't tell you which one was heavier with any accuracy.
I LOOOOOOOOVE Ghostbusters and I got all the questions right in this. Went to the Ghostbusters firehouse in New York last year and loved the whole experience
That's awesome! I would love to go see that in person some day!!! A buddy and I did go see the firehouse in L.A. where the interior shots were filmed... pretty rough neighborhood. lol
@@CousinRyan outside was cool and then the fire truck came back and they opened their door and they have the actual sign from ghostbusters 2 inside. Then they sold me their firehouse shirt that has a ghost on it. If you’re ever in New York check out the movie/tv bus tour. Pretty cool and you get to see some of the city
i really enjoy you singing happier bc 1: bastille is my fav band, and 2: for those who dont know, that song was a collab song between bastille and marshmello!
I've been watching your channel for years now... it's so heartwarming to see you interacting with a friend :) I'm so glad you have people that you enjoy in your life and that share interests with you, I'm sure you learn a lot from each other too :) hope you're doing well.
Peter, not to down any of your other videos, but this was freaking fantastic! It's good to see geek friends together. Edit: Got to the end and he didn't know Uhura, so, nevermind. Dump him. :D
I’m so glad you liked the 2016 ghostbusters! people hated that movie before they even saw it and never gave it a chance. I thought it was great and really funny.
Yeah, I thought it was hilarious. Now, if you ask me about the Star Trek reboot, you'll find I have a TOTALLY different POV. Haha. Maybe it's just about the franchises we care deeply about. :)
I think I may have an interesting idea for you. Can you use sawdust of two different levels of contrast and mix them in resin, and I assume you would have to do this in layers, to make a wood like pattern that you would then use like a board? I'm wondering can you really make with grain with resin and sawdust. Even dyed resin and alternating layers.
I was wondering when heat was going to be a problem. Figures it was when you put them in the oven. I think coating them like you did was a good trade off. Not "dipped" per se, but definitely preserved. Thanks for sharing!
That a Minnesota Vikings logo on his hat, or something else. That's the closest I could figure without trying to pause the video. I wonder if you could stabilize them with UV resin? That is if you wanted that used gauze look. Might be neat for Halloween, although not very practical I'm sure.
I just watched, great video. Was thinking you should have dehydrated them, it only slightly expands them vs freeze dry, which would blow them up first. Because a freeze dryer "dries" under pressure and would expand as its drying. Love to see them now. (Just seen what the pizzas looked like after several months. ) thanks for the video.
I was so relieved when Peter said he loved the 2016 Ghostbusters... I was afraid I'd have to cancel him. 2016 Ghostbusters is one of the hills I am willing to die on.
Just like to commemorate that I came here when this has 42 Comments. 42 Marshmallows. The answer to life the universe and everything. Good job, Peter. I wonder if you should try casting one of the rejects (that couldn't fit in the bag) in a paper weight or some such for Ryan.
The UV light probably wouldn't be able to penetrate to the center of the marshmallows, so you'd get a shell of hardened resin but the insides would remain uncured and gooey. The cactus juice stabilizing resin works on things that can withstand heat because the heat spreads through the whole piece. Obviously we've seen the result of trying to use heat activated resin to stabilize something that melts.
Those extra marshmallows can be your canaries. If they start to collapse or go mouldy you know you didn't coat them enough and can rescue the rest of the bag.
It's so funny that he's wearing a Jurassic park themed Ghostbusters shirt in the last part of the video, because I was just thinking about how I was born a few months after the first Ghostbusters came out, but I was old enough (actually 8yo) to see Jurassic Park in the movie theater. 😆
Marshmallows just got too hot. Next time, just put the toaster oven in the freezer. Boom. Problem solved. Next week, I’ll tell you how to cook toast in the bathtub….
The other Ghostbusters cartoon was based on an old black & white series by the same name, so technically it came first. It's still the inferior Ghostbusters IP.
Anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong? My resin doesn't harden fully, like it's harder... But i can still flex parts. I don't have uncured spots, but I can still dent it with my fingernails.
I was thinking you could have used a spray-on polish, lacquer or something of the sort, just coat them with it. Not really a dip-it then, but is it that different from painting?
When you finish the dip it list you should dip the list! Save it forever in resin
Spray the paper with hair spray or something to protect it from the Resin first...
I thought the same, but maybe lamination is the way to go
As if the list would ever finish...
Add it to the list first, to have some kind of recursion.
I came here to say the same thing haha
Under the right conditions, (presumably cool, dark, extremely low humidity) marshmallows will turn hard as golf balls. I found a fossilized bag of marshmallows under a shelf in a grocery store that looked normal, but clattered like golf balls when dropped.
I found a bag in the back of my parents cupboard about a year ago in the same condition. Just like completely petrified.
weirdly, people will buy Circus Peanuts, which come from the factory petrified like that.
As the insane person who prefers marshmallows like that, the conditions are indeed cool and dark. My preferred method is open the bag, put in the back of the cupboard or I prefer the back of a drawr(tend to put it in the same drawer as rice) shake the bag every week or so to allow the ones further in the bag to dry.

ABSOLUTELY! He was basically using what amounted to stabilizing resin and everything.

@@heartbreakandmotorjive1867 Here's the thing -- Applied Science already did this and solved all the issues.
Loved "so it turns out, you can't stabilize marshmallows" just as a thing that has now been confirmed & said aloud.
😂
How did you guys not see the "ghost face" in the melted marshmallow?
Still watching, super curious if you'll find a way to make it work!
yep, total ghost face!
Wasn't that the scream face/mask, bet he could never reproduce that, it was total serendipity. 5:43
Thank you!
Peter: *puts the marshmallows in the toaster oven *
Me: OH NO

"they look like the gauze that comes out of your mouth..." congratulations! You just made historically-accurate _ectoplasm!_
As someone else said to try freeze-drying, I would recommend letting them get stale by just leaving then out for a few days.

It's 2021. This is what adults spend their time doing. And personally, I'm totally down with that. ❤
Honestly, I acted more like a boring adult 20 years ago than I do now! Haha😉
YES! Peter loves 2016 (lady) Ghostbusters!
thank you for admitting that you enjoyed the 2016 version, I feel judged when I admit I liked it!
Same! Lol poor sweet Kevin…
The resin in the melted marshmallows looked like a ghost face!!
It totally does!
Awesome! The end result came out better than I would have thought for working with marshmallows. They truly look like the control.
Dude this was a really cool episode of walking someone through a really cool first resin project! I adore this!
I also loved the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot! I thought it was hilarious and fun.
i didn't even think about about the melting of sugar. i laughed out loud seein it!
It was wild to hear that song because it's on the playlist at the skating rink where I practice so I associate it exclusively with ice skating lol
Really look forward to your videos. It lets me get a handle on my panic and anxiety attacks.

Finally some actual content on UA-cam. . . Had me worried I’d be stuck watching tiktok reuploads till I died of old age 😂✌️

Literally never miss one..
Keep being awesome
You guys should take one of the marshmallows and turn it into a custom gearshift knob for his car.
😄 I've already got a custom gear shift knob, but... there are a few knobs on the dash that need to be replaced...🤔😁
Ah, the question I never knew I needed the answer to!
You seriously need to make a resin cup of hot cocoa with one of those marshmallows floating in it.
*Me trying to answer the trivia questions and failing*
Ray: you never studied.
Hahaha Yes!
I cackled *hard* when the marshmallows first came out of the toaster oven. XD
Another fun video. Thanks!

As soon as he said that I thought "I knew I liked you for a reason."
Oh boy now you can make a Smore 😁 all dipped in resin 🤗
You should lightly sand them to make them matte finish
That's a good idea!
was anyone else shouting at the screen when he put the marshmallows in the oven at 200 degrees?
I was shouting no! it's sugar you fool!
Y’know I could be wrong. But I think this dude like ghost busters. Just a vibe I’m getting

Use Resin to glue a few together and make a mini-Staypuff Marshmallow Man from them...
Both of those are great ideas!
@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan I like your train of thought here...
My neighbor has the car he drives it around for October and Halloween it’s pretty cool, he worked hard on it
Peter, please dip a scrunchy and toast. I'd love to see a toast rack made of toast
It'd be great to see follow-ups on this to see if they go like Evan & Katelyn's pumpkin or carrot.
Also what about if you were to try "stabilising" the marshmallows in 3D printer resin and then setting them with UV light?
The UV light probably wouldn't be able to penetrate to the center of the marshmallows, so you'd get a shell of hardened resin but the insides would remain uncured and gooey.
The cactus juice stabilizing resin works on things that can withstand heat because the heat spreads through the whole piece. Obviously we've seen the result of trying to use heat activated resin to stabilize something that melts.
Perhaps with the "failed" marshmallows you can re dip them and make a lidded cup or something
Those extra marshmallows can be your canaries. If they start to collapse or go mouldy you know you didn't coat them enough and can rescue the rest of the bag.
marshmallows are primarily corn syrup and gelatin. That gelatin is what keeps it fluffy at room temperature but melts when it gets warm.
What about trying to freeze them, and then set them in resin??
It's so funny that he's wearing a Jurassic park themed Ghostbusters shirt in the last part of the video, because I was just thinking about how I was born a few months after the first Ghostbusters came out, but I was old enough (actually 8yo) to see Jurassic Park in the movie theater. 😆

What Happens to Marshmallows in Resin?
Finally somebody answering life's most difficult questions ;)
Now you should make a marshmallow gear shift knob to go with his car. 👻
He was a fun addition to your video.
Maybe you could mold a big marshmallow man together or something like that.
The other Ghostbusters cartoon was based on an old black & white series by the same name, so technically it came first. It's still the inferior Ghostbusters IP.

Good eye! I was wondering if anyone would notice!
I enjoyed the reboot Ghostbusters, too! Kate McKinnon is freaking hilarious ;o)
There is a great Marshmallow song. Dean Martin "Living in a Marshmallow World"
I wonder if you could lightly sandblast them to remove the shine. Soda blasting would probably work better.
You totally have to make a couple of those marshmallows into a car ornament for his car! Imagine having a couple of those hanging from his mirror.
Haha Yes! Instead of fuzzy dice, it would be Stay Puft marshmallows! 😆
Watching football and woodworking are my main hobbies
Anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?
My resin doesn't harden fully, like it's harder... But i can still flex parts. I don't have uncured spots, but I can still dent it with my fingernails.
2016 ghostbusters is So Good thank you for saying it!
I like the Scream ghost face in the melted marshmallows in the tinfoil.
I was thinking you could have used a spray-on polish, lacquer or something of the sort, just coat them with it. Not really a dip-it then, but is it that different from painting?
