Giant Rubber Band Ball Cast In Epoxy Resin And Cut In Half

We revisited our third video ever of cutting a giant rubber band ball in half with our 60,000 PSI waterjet. But this time we cast it in Epoxy Resin.

You should try again but use this stuff called "Cactus Juice." Its a stabalizing resin thats almost as thin as water and is set by baking it rather than a reaction with a hardener. So its only one part and you can vacuum pot a piece for days or weeks to get all the air out, and once you take out the piece to bake the rest of the resin can be reused as much as you want. You only cure whatever gets trapped inside the item and the rest is drained off. After you can set it in normal resin and it blends in with it. Ask Peter Brown about it, he has used it a bunch and it the only reason I know about it.

[@hornyducks4090]

This! I was suprised they weren't using stabilizing resin

[@KnifeKnut]

Agreed. I think cactus juice would have solved some of the problems they had with other resin projects.

[@rand0mlyth3re35]

I immediately thought of sokka when you said cactus juice

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

The finished result where the inside core was gone but the outershell remained was so interesting to see. It’s like POV of living in a rubber band ball lol.

[@JoeZhaole]

Talk to the boys and get a piece of this resin Rubber band ball to make a ring

Loved my matching (sorta) Opal rings. Didn't expect them to be so light

[@BigChunkOfFuckOffCunt77]

Do each layer of rubber bands in resin... blue, add resin, wrap yellow around that then add resin, wrap red, add resin... time consuming but it might permeate the layers better so when you cut it you'll have a better cross section.

[@jeeves744]

You guys need to look into using cactus juice stabilizing resin. If you wanted to take the time you could have probably gotten the resin all the way through.

[@josephgauthier5018]

Might help to fully submerge the ball in an excess of resin, and then run the vacuum till it stops bubbling. I strongly doubt it was air tight, but it will help if you can get your hands on a lower viscosity resin. Also consider putting it in a pressure pot. I cannot remember if you do or don't have one of those.

[@hornyducks4090]

Vacume works better for penetrating resin, a pressure pot just SHRINKS air bubbles, it does not get rid of them

[@xidarian]

It should be possible to make a combination vacuum and pressure pot so that you could alternate cycles of vacuum and pressure. That should get really good penetration into objects you want to cast in resin.

[@josephgauthier5018]

@@hornyducks4090 i am well aware of this. but what happens if you completely submerge the ball in resin and pressurize it? the bubbles shrink which allows the resin to be pushed into the nooks and crannies. of course, youll get better penetration if you pull vacuum for a while, but since they arent working with heat cured stabilizing resin, they have to switch to pressure to get it most of the way there before the resin cures

[@josephgauthier5018]

@@xidarian to be honest, it would be best just to pull a suitable vacuum and then pressurize it for the remaining time, instead of needlessly moving the resin in and out of the rubber band ball. But I do like your enthusiasm!

[@niclikescakes]

@@josephgauthier5018 This is the principal behind the reason carbon fiber or kevlar composite components are cured in a autoclave. Pressure forces the resin in.

[@electronicsNmore]

Yep, the blue rubber band layer was wrapped extremely tight preventing the epoxy resin from infiltrating. Great as always, and I like the voice over.

[@gravysamich]

false! had they pulled a vacuum long enough to actually pull the air from the middle rather than constantly opening it to torch it, the resin would have been forced in through atmospheric pressure.

Often KZbin channels have trouble handing off the creative power to a new Creator on the team. I think this was a very good episode to show that Waterjet channel can do that and we like both our new and old hosts!

[@leegibbs6382]

Wow, I forgot how much curly hair Mitchell had when I first started watching you guys!

[@DougSalad]

Hmmm, I think I'd suggest stabilizing resin. Very thin, doesn't cure until you heat it. However, idk how well rubber bands would do in the heat.

[@serpico1616]

[@brandonsaffell4100]

I'm happy to see you caught yourself and added that base layer before the ball. I see a lot of things just like this fail to function because the object sticks out the bottom of the finished piece.

[@TarisRedwing]

The background music made this very watchable also im glad to see you put the other half on your shelf 😃

Encase a prince ruperts drop in resin except for the tail then once it's harden snap the tail. Will the resin hold it or will it explode?

[@robertroach4]

You should have asked Peter Brown about casting resin. It is thinner than regular resin which allows it to permeate inside what you’re trying to cast. Also a pressure pot would be better than a vacuum chamber.

[@pooriashoghi5995]

Awesome chanel guys Btw there is a small flaw with vacuuming the air bubbles out , goal here is to push as much resin as possible through the layers and soak in the resin , soaking action is not happening during the vacuuming action but during the time that you let the air in(all the voids inside the ball is under vacuum and as soon as you relief that it, resin is sucked to those parts) so when you partially submerge it into the resin, those voids that are vacuumed ,suck air from upper part , (air has much less viscosity than resin, it will get in faster than resin) so it is not filled with resin

Do a bunch of mini rubber band balls into a bowl or if you wanna make a huge resin rubber band bowl, do a little ball, set it up in a thin layer of resin(use a round mold), build more onto the ball, set that, lather rinse and repeat until your desired creation 🤷🏽‍♀️ I wish I had the tools to try this out

You should do it like a micarta layup. Dip the rubber bands in resin and then place them on the ball.

[@adamreynolds3863]

you could do a high pressure chamber, instead of a vacuum , that may push the resin in farther

[@user255]

Oh wow, I can't believe this channel is so old, you were only 12 years when you started all this!

[@MakoRuu]

Solution: Resin each layer of the ball before you start the next. Final product inside a large plastic tote where the ball is not touching the sides and can float freely. Cut the ball out of the resin.

it looks like those things they slide on ice in the Olympics 😂😂😂

[@Givulinovich]

Oops you did it again. 💕♥️💕

[@Schixotica]

What if after you’ve encased it in resin you drill a small hole into the center and force more resin into it with the vacuum? Also you could try to find how much resin you have to sand off of it before it bounces again

[@dylandreisbach1986]

Speaking of Rubiks cube modification videos, a large Rubiks cube in resin so it wont fall appart. Like as large as will fit in under the waterjet. Like a 9x9 or 11x11 or something. Also somthing that might be fun it to cut a casting of one of your heads, so maybe a fan could have half of one or both of your heads.

[@rodpotts2666]

You guys are crazy! But in a good way. Lol

[@kristajones2088]

Make another one, but encase the blue and polish it, then put the yellow, and then the red encasing each colored layer individually

[@TheDarkPacific]

Looks like the Water Jet guys needs a sponsorship from Keeps.

[@scrapironfish]

Try resining the ball from about 2 inches in diameter, and so on. It may be labor intensive, but might yield the desired results of a nice sectioned rubber ball.

[@Uufda651]

There are no words for how much I hated that carrot crunch shot

[@statementleaver8095]

Needed a Resin core!! Or the strands need more space between other strands.

[@bsctsngrvy9089]

What if you finished the cast then cut into the center at multiple angles. then filled in the center with new resin in an attempt to saturate and stablize the nucleus. Maybe you could use slightly colored epoxy for the first casting, then encase that oddly shaped layer in a cube of clear

[@VillainOfBrandon]

I douubt you'd want to try again, but perhaps instead of a vacuum chamber perhaps curing it in a pressurized chamber might work better.

[@alisstartupvids]

Beneath the resin, we find some bands. And beneath the bands...we find...the nucleus.” ― Waterjet probably

[@ModelLights]

One thing that would probably help is to do this inside a cup inside a high pressure pot, and take the pressure above the internal pressure of the rubber band ball. Even if it still doesn't really fix the center it should do a bit better, and going in even a little further quickly reduces the center volume..

[@wonderpunch4984]

You should make a half of that into a bowl
