DIY CRAFTS - Can You Inject RESIN into an EGGSHELL ?

[@BensWorx]

Thanks for stopping by, If you have time you can check out my new range of Eggs here www.etsy.com/shop/bensworx

I said vinegar for the shell just as you did. I think they made it just like you do.

[@adamcox5866]

Just got my egg in the mail. Its stunning to look at. I love the way the colors shift. Beautiful work Mr. Ben.

[@za88y]

nice, you are doing the trendy clickbait :D I just subbed to your channel a few weeks ago but after I saw this clickbait thumbnail I immediately unsubbed , good luck sir , ..

[@LostWhits]

@@za88y you realise this was the point. Using a clickbait fake craft and running with it.

[@Darkshizumaru]

Egg shells are very porous, so I'm pretty sure that's why the little bit leaked out in the pressure pot. The membrane remaining in the shell or not, even hard boiled eggs are not actually smooth so this captures the correct texture perfectly. If you cast egg white resin in you could recreate a fake hard boiled egg which would be pretty amusing for a resin fake food project. Just do a light polish on the egg after and it might look pretty darn real

[@DuffyLaudick]

You could make a silicone mold of the egg, that way you could have more control of shape and design of the resting egg. Loved the video.

[@GeryonM]

That's what I thought he would do. It's the first thing I thought of so if it was a success you could make more.

[@jlo1195]

that's too easy....we want the hard n more complex way

[@cheriboone]

Seriously that was way disgusting.

[@bojag1]

Or plastic eggs like you put candy in ? Just a thought. Maybe resin gets too hot ?

[@emdee8840]

Orrrrrrr, tape up the bottom hole with painter's tape to seal it. No side holes, just use the hole at the top. Inject the resin in small batches of different colors and allow to cure & set before adding the next color.

[@TheConwoman3]

That turned out cool. Dissolving the egg shell was brilliant. Did anyone else notice that when it was finished, it looked like a snail was in there? Dr. Ben with his gloves and syringe! Love it! 💖💖

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Connie 😊 yeah it did look like a snail 👍

Hello Ben , im from Toronto, Canada. I just found your channel by looking for different diy ideas , and i am so impressed with you and your amazing work. I cant tell you how i appreciate not only your art but your personality and how well you explain as you go. I never comment on anyone's channel, this is a first !! You doing everything right in my opinion. I usually fast forward a lot to get past the blah blah blah. You had no blah ( lol ) your awesome. I just love your ideas , your art is beautiful . Thank you

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@Zeldur]

Here's my backseating thought: The clear resin is uneeded. If you start with the egg with a lot of holes drilled with them hot glued over as before, use a faster curing resin. Level the egg and inject the color on top of that current level. Let it get to the gel phase, re level, and inject again.... Actually, this sounds like fun. Might give it a go one day.

[@BrookeRainbridge]

He didn't use fast curing resin because it heated up and melted the hot glie

[@morissaedwards7348]

@@BrookeRainbridge I'd love to find hot glie on the market🤣🤣 don't worry, my typing is atrocious too. It's bad when I'm talking to friends and I try to type fast.

@@BrookeRainbridge Ohhh right.... Maybe silicone then?... but it wouldn't cure in time.... Clearly the answer is more hot glue :).

Nerdecrafter did this experiment once and she left the egg membrane inside the shell, which actually helped with removing the shell afterwards. It was easily scraped off afterwards.

[@dsacton]

Nice result! I once cast molten lead in an eggshell; it worked pretty well.

[@iampoppyseeds]

Keep creating this awesome content please! It's very relaxing and cool to see your process during all this! Thank you for making your channel and the content on here.

[@magnetdesignandadver]

Love this! Experiments in creativity are just the most awesome thing. Tanks for sharing

[@margaretcassidy7830]

I rather like what you did with the egg. It was interesting.

[@Halloween111]

Just a thought, Use the bottom hole to put the resin in. That way you can hide imperfections with a stand or base. 2nd, You don't need the other holes. Use a longer needle and just work it around as you inject a little here and a little there. That would also make for a bit of stirring to get the colors to string out through the clear.

[@aveleziii]

looks like they'd make a slick shift knob, despite it seeming like a lot more work. definitely a clever pivot with the white vinegar. thanks for another great video

[@jasmine4347]

Keep trying thats how you learn by not giving up and trying new techniques it's great for a first attempt

Hey Tracy, Thankyou! 😊 will do

[@coffebug]

I've seen nerde crafter try this as well she had similar results. She poured the colors in layers tho but it honestly turned out no better. The vinegar worked well other than time it looked so much easier.

[@ItsArtByDonna]

Loved this project...thinking you could have used all colored resin in the project for a better outcome...if you ever do it again...try it that way...very clever with the vinegar!

[@LaughingInTiny]

Why are you not tinting different batches of resin and then pouring them into the shell?

[@Njazmo]

You could use some electricians tape to cover the holes, it's like 1.5cm narrow and streches a bit, and doesn't melt like hot glue. That egg turned out nice, and perhaps you should wait between resin layers to harden before applying the next color. Cheers mate.

[@topcat5988]

Hey! Fun!! You probably needed to have the egg propped on something to keep it spinning slowly so the colors would not settle.

Applaud your valiant attempt. Not bad at all. You'll perfect it - I believe in you. 😊

[@sandcastle2069]

It was so interesting to see the entire process and all the mistakes, because I learned a lot. Now this is surely a very difficult way to make a resin egg, as you get molds from Ali express for some few coins, but if that is what you have, I have these points to add: Only poke one hole in the egg. Stir with a stick and suck the yolk out with a syringe or a special balloon you get around Easter that does the same job. Rinse afterwards. Use a very thick and long needle, it won’t be so hard and you can add effects with the long needle as well. Maybe stirring is an idea to get more effects as well.

[@mkdrivingzone]

If there was ever any doubt about you being aussie, the phrase "bung up the whole" eliminated all doubt. :D

[@thunderbasilisk1352]

The colors might spread better if you insert the needle through the top hole and once it touches the bottom of the egg slowly release the color as you lift up the needle.

[@garzilla7123]

That was a pretty cool egg-speriment 😁

[@CrispOffTheBlock]

I think the colors gathered at the one end give it a very unique charming look! It reminds me of some glass marbles I loved playing with as a kid.

[@Lee-st4gs]

Love the results! I think the end goal could be to make a realistic looking egg, yolk and all! Would take a lot of thoughtful planning & maybe not achievable, but fun to see how it would turn out

[@evelyn_r]

Thoughts about this egg making resin experiment: why don’t you put resin in enough just to coat the egg shell and do another couple of layers to make sure you have the structure and then only add one colour and let it start setting on the angle you want it, and retilt for the next colour and etc? Once you’re done with the colours, just layer on the clear til it’s full? Definitely takes longer but higher chance of success? I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ I don’t do resin. Use of vinegar, smart! 👍

[@Angel-yl1ck]

I'm just starting resin but I love your idea. One to remember I think.

[@victoriaeads6126]

You can also have more control over the size and shape of the holes in the egg by using a bit (I've found diamond tipped rotary bits work really well) and drilling by hand. It's less likely to break the eggshell.

[@adele6592]

Thanks. That was such fun to watch. Did you wear a respirator please?

[@i5will_games]

Good thinking to get out the vinegar! 🤓 And the outcome was pretty cool. 😎 Most importantly though, thanks for the video. I've been having withdrawals. 😆

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Julie-Ann 😊

[@iLitAfuseiCantStop]

In the bottom of an egg is a white membrane layer, with an air pocket underneath. When you put the resin in, it seeped under that membrane, encapsulating it. I have chickens so make loads of pickled eggs & when boiling & peeling them (depending on how they were in the pan) often find an egg with a flat spot on the very bottom & always have to make sure I peel the membrane off the bottom of the egg. It doesn’t stick to the eggshell like the rest of the membrane because of the air pocket underneath it like I mentioned.

[@samanthadean1083]

This turned out pretty good! I hate when you see a video thumbnail, then watch the video, only to discover that the thumbnail image isn’t even in the vid… Judging from the picture, I think that it isn’t a resin filled egg, rather it’s a pine cone, in resin, turned into the shape of an egg.

[@budlloyd3127]

Hey I think I heard a sequel's coming with trying to time out the resin! 😆 another great video!!

[@Gantorin]

NerdECrafyer did this one, and hers came out pretty good.

[@joeguilfoyle1922]

The vinegar trick was brilliant. I had forgotten about that. But we also did that as kids in the U.S.A.

[@sparkyprojects]

What about just having the top hole open (no need for the side holes), you should be able to direct the needle to the areas you want the colour, this would also help if you put the egg into cold water to keep it cool and not melt the hotglue on the bottom Make a higher dam at the top as a reservoir for extra resin.

[@steveschulkin8335]

Gives a new meaning to dragon eggs. Nicely done Ben.

[@hollypierce3076]

NerdEcrafter did a video on that same video!! I haven’t watched your video yet but I’m guessing that you got it to work!

[@warrenclyde2467]

I learned maybe 60 years ago to drill the hole with a brad nail as I did not have tiny bits back then. I also learned to take a safety pin (long) and cut the end off and bend it slightly 1/4" up then stick the one end in the drill and the other in the egg and then WHIP the egg in the shell and it runs right out. So no hard blowing for like 5 minutes. Mom made "glass" eggs as she and her best friend made those table ornaments that looked like grapes in all sorts of colors. Back then they used glass molds for each grape, quite costly as they could have made silicone molds quite cheaply.
