Video suggestion: I love this concept and was fun to watch but I also had an idea. You could do two of each hack - one where you follow the instructions EXACTLY as it's shown on the "hack" video with no deviation - so for example with the eggs: No washing out shell, no silicon spray etc. . . And then a second one where you try and make it work as best you can with all your crafting knowledge. Then do a comparison. Xx

[@LizzyTwifehomemaker]

You can actually eat eggs after the expiration date. They generally keep quite well. The main thing is that you test them by dropping them gently into a container of cold water. Make sure it has enough water for them to sink to the bottom and be more than completely covered, like covered by several inches. if it sinks and touches the bottom and stays there, then it is safe to eat. If it floats, then it is not. That is what I have been taught. Of course do your own research. I am not advising that people eat eggs past the expiration date, more stating that it can be done and isn't necessarily as gross as Even and Katlyn thought.

[@tob7449]

Since Americans keep eggs in the fridge they can last months. 6 months might be pushing it tho 😅

[@rdizzy1]

@@tob7449 Yeah, I've eaten eggs that were in the fridge for 3 months, and they were totally fine.

[@dude988]

@@tob7449 American eggs have to be refrigerated because they are washed, which makes it easier for bacteria to get into the egg. In Europe we don't wash the eggs, which is why they don't have to be refrigerated. Most people do it anyways and our eggs are safe to eat long after the best before date. I use the same method as Lizzy, if the egg stands up it goes into a cake, if it floats it goes into the bin.

[@dynamitelamb7449]

I am a farmer ish, at the very least I live on a farm and I can confirm with that. Also eggs are generally already like 2-3 weeks old by the time they hit the store shelves.

[@Skvalpenotta]

This trick works and I do it all the time, also, you can determine roughly how long they will last just by checking the angle of the egg in the water. If it's laying on its side it's fresh, while standing upright (with the pointy end down), it's getting close to expiring. Also, eggs may last longer depending on how the eggs were rinsed before packaging. In the US it's common to brush the eggs as well as just rinsing with water. Brushing the eggs however removes a thin layer of the egg shell, which opens up small pores, which in turn gives the eggs shorter shelf life and are more prone to bacteria getting in. Eggs like these should always be kept cool. In Europe, most eggs are only rinsed with water, and don't necessarily need to be stored in a fridge (although, this is not uncommon either).

fun fact: hollowing eggs by blowing the contents out like you described is traditional in many cultures, and has been for a very long time. the confetti-filled egg you described sounds like a cascaron, which likely came from Mexico. the same method is sometimes used for pisanki, or "Polish Easter eggs", which date back to at least the 13th century. bit of a misnomer, as they are more generally Slavic than specifically Polish. there's a wonderful children's book featuring pisanki called Rechenka's Eggs that I highly recommend

She cleaned them out by making a hole at each end and blowing. I was almost 7 when it aired. We taped it and I saw it a bunch of times.

I recommend getting some silicone tipped tools (I got mine in a pack with some other clay shaping tools) for spreading out UV resin. They eventually get brittle and start to rip, but only if you actually cure the resin on them. If you wipe it off with some alcohol, they might last longer. Also a silicone brush (like for cooking) is great for epoxy, but is too big for the UV resin scale. It's possible you guys already know this, but I am sharing anyway because I happened to stumble upon the clay tools for resin. The metal tools also work, but they are small.

Fun fact, you don’t need mold release for the egg. I do this hack all the time, and the membrane of the egg allows you to peel off the shell. It’s super cool!!! Tips to make it work: crack the small end to make a flat top, that way you can see what you are doing and will have a flat base for the egg to sit on. Make sure the egg is level when you fill it. shake the egg to get all the air out of the resin. DONT ADD A MAGNET. It breaks the membrane and causes issues since it’s so heavy. I’ve also had it break the shell itself. Don’t use a pressure pot. Idk why but it messes it up for the egg mold. add the glitter in the egg, that way it doesn’t all fall to the bottom. Lastly DONT HEAT IT UP!!!!!!!!!! Just let it set over about 4 days. Trust me. It usually ends badly and makes a bunch of fumes. Hope this helps!!!!

So a thing some people used to do is empty an egg using a syringe, and fill it with a thin cement, to get an unbreakable egg.

I love how they are wearing all this protective gear and explain how resin works and can be dangerous, meanwhile the content farm "Bare handed and with nothing to secure this eggy fire hazard"

[@hemantdash4610]

Lol

[@cayleighwolfbane1736]

The egg thing can be done with alcohol inks and after you peel the shell off, use a Dremel to carve cool designs into it and use a large drill bit to hollow it out abit and you have a nightlight! (I use the night lights from dollar tree, the more hollow the better the staind glass effect)

For the cord repair, sugru is probably the best option. I don't have any, so when I needed to do the same thing I used a spring, hot glue, and large heatshrink over the plug, spring and cord. It created a strong, flexible stress relief integrated with the plug and extending 2" down the cord. It looks good and has held up great for years.

[@Serena-or7sl]

I just use some electrician's tape + an heatshrink on top

[@amshermansen]

2:40 - We do that in Scandinavia. Poke, blow and then paint on the empty shells. And then finally we put string in them, so we can hang them like ornaments for easter - usually on dead branches and such.

i actually find it easier to do my earrings without a mirror, the reverse-ness just confuses me. my septum barbell sometimes needs a mirror to figure out what angle to put the ball on.

[@rachelcookie321]

I don’t use a mirror most of the time because I’m too lazy. Usually I just wiggle the earring around for a couple seconds until it slips through. Sometimes when I haven’t worn earrings in awhile my holes will close over a bit so the earring won’t be slipping through so I need to look in the mirror to find the hole. I can usually get them in ok, it’s just trying to get them out the back of my earring that is hard lol.

In Germany around eastern we also „blow eggs“ but we do small holes on the top and the bottom and then blow out the inside of the egg. The egg then gets painted and we use it to decorate the garden etc. you trying to get out the egg really remembered me of that😂

[@Balardson]

Katelyn's editing always gives me the giggles. I love your guys' content. Xx

[@LaynieFingers]

I used to cover eggs with polymer clay, so I've blown out a lot of eggs. My process was like this- I used a Dremel to open a decent sized hole in the wide end of the egg, poke the yolk to pop it, then upend the egg and use a syringe in the single hole to blow the egg out. I'd follow that up with several rounds of soapy water, then some time in the oven to kill anything that's left and dry it out. I would do 2-3 dozen at a time!

[@Dee_Just_Dee]

33:45 I think the banana would rot even if it was perfectly sealed in, since part of the rotting process happens from germs that were already on/in the banana in the first place.

[@HeartlandHunny]

You know, the great thing about your channel is that you’re responsible. You make it clear for anyone watching (some of whom may be kids!) that working with resin when you don’t know what you’re doing is dangerous. You know who doesn’t do that? 5-Minute Crafts. 😒

[@angelikarts6668]

@@rachelcookie321 I paid £1 for the mold which makes up to 15 pairs at a time and already had resin, jewellery findings and pigments etc at home. So they cost me pennies to make, more in time than effort or actual cost. Also means I have them in any colour I want at any time and have been experimenting with layering colours and glitters or flowers etc to get different looks. Quite pleased with my results especially as I had no real idea what I was doing just playing around to see what works

[@quest0r886]

As far as the resin egg goes, it would have been better to use Alumilite and a pressure pot. Alumilite clear slow has a 12 min open time and would have had no problem with the volume, and the pressure pot would have taken care of the bubbles. Mix the resin and glitter, wait to pour till the resin heats up to 95 degrees give it a final stir, pour and place in the pressure pot. Ready to demold in 4 hours.

[@masha8770]

Yeah, others have tested the project and it went well, Nerdecrafter is an example. I feel some of these they're setting themselves up for failure by doing it a bit half-arsed instead of using some basic research (looking at you real banana in resin...) XD

[@CMUShawna]

I don't know anything about resin or pressure pots, so I don't know what I'm talking about, but what about the egg?? Like, would the shell crack under pressure?

[@kjeracarroll450]

I love the phone call to mom! Haha we did this in Girl’s scouts (where you blow the contents out) but we would do something with crayon and then hold them over a light. You can do designs with white crayon and then dye and the white part wouldn’t dye. It was fun! Awesome video guys!

[@emo6577]

My mom has some Christmas ornaments she made with her grandma that (i think) were made kinda similarly. They’d take out the contents of the egg, draw on designs, cut a viewing hole, and make a tiny diorama inside the egg with little clay or paper things. They’re very cute but /so/ delicate

[@Boogie_the_cat]

I had much fun watching you two. I think you might have had some fun yourselves. Thanks for the good times. I also really enjoyed the 'tension' music during the egg resin heating stage. Masterful.

[@Mamachaps]

In the UK the traditional way to decorate eggshells is to blow them out 1st, that way you can keep your creation how ever long you want. You take a pin, pierce the top & the bottom of the shell & blow it out, just like Evan said. It's a skill & experts get very intricate designs. Not many people do it now but I remember doing it as a kid 😊

I made some recently! They're hell to stand in, but they hold me up! I didn't do an extra platform on the bottom of the platform shoes, I just built out the front, and I go from 5'3 to 5'9, maybe 5'10.

Hi Evan and Katelyn! My wife and I love you guys and my wife is a resin crafter as well! I'm not sure if anyone has said this before but as to the charger fix, when it happens with IPhone cords they normally split the wire casing close to the ends, so when we fixed mine we actually just found the perfectly sized straw, put the cord with the "into phone" end through until it tightly held the bulk immediately below where it plugs in (so not just the cord but it was tightly around where the wire connects to the plug end, and filled the straw with resin. That way when we were done it was as though that piece were just longer to begin with. No strange soling portion in the middle of the cord, just a longer end. Just an idea! LOVE YOU GUYS!

[@raccoonja-ronja]

The blowing out eggs is mostly done for decorations that you can reuse every year. Painting hard boiled eggs means you have to destroy your craft or get a rotten egg. My mom and grandma used to make more eleborate decorations with the hollowed out eggs like wreaths or decoration for an easter tree or arch (No joke those are all tradion in my part of Germany).
