Giant Rubber Band Ball In Epoxy Resin Perfect Cross Section

We finally got a perfect cross section of a giant rubber band ball using epoxy resin and our 60,000 PSI Waterjet. We've been at this for quite some time.

Did Dan and Mitchell give up on the channel?

[@TehLiquid]

So what happened to the other two, you know, the two who used to be in all of the videos? the tall one, and the one that licks things. What happened to them two?

[@opi_is_me1576]

I've been wondering that too.

[@TheBuddha337]

Everyone wants to know but we aren't being giving answers. I think it's going to kill their channel tbh. As long as they keep quiet.

[@N1korasu]

I believe they no longer work for the company that owns the water jet

[@Mitchell_is_smart._You2bs_dumb]

Who?

[@mateiradu5109]

probably got cut on the water jet machine

[@woofy1988]

I am once again asking you to please use a pressure pot for this project. Force all the resin into the voids rather than trying to pull all the air out.

[@bazookallamaproductions5280]

[@piraterubberduck6056]

Use the vacuum chamber to pull the air out and then put it in the pressure pot to cure. Then you get the best of both.

[@glaglelolba6279]

Bernie Sanders is that you?!

[@MyWaifuNow]

@@piraterubberduck6056 there's no reason to vacuum it first, the pressure actually crushed the air bubbles down enough that they're impossible to see and it looks the same as if you vacuumed it

[@DayNTheLyfeHTX]

What happen to the original 2 guys in the videos? Not saying the new guys sucks but bring back the originals

[@Bl4ckD0g]

I thought Dan just had a kid, so maybe that's why he's not around as much. Maybe I'm misremembering though.

[@olegebloek]

The same thing as with the waterjet, they got reduced to occasional cameos. I mean this is more or less the "Epoxy Resin Channel" now.

[@ParanoidCarrot]

i kinda am saying the new guys suck, most of the times i want to punch their face for their stupid shit

What happened to the other guy that used to do these videos did he get fired or something

[@jonathanfairchild]

Idk but I’m worried about this channel

[@Chickpaints88]

Maybe a video answering the heap of times we ask, What has happened to this channel? You two are running it into the ground, I subbed for the og duo and cutting random stuff in half, Or stuff sent in, PO box!! Gonna unsub like loads have. Resin isn't that interesting when it's only token vids.

[@markwackerman5593]

I don't hate these guys, but I subscribed because of the first two, not the side characters.

[@csandassociates]

I agree

I guess this is the Neil's channel now.

[@maxfarr4142]

Instead of vacuum, use pressure. Vacuum can only apply about 14psi where as if you use pressure, you could put 150psi on it. That should push the resin all the way into the rubber band folds.

[@isaacclark6749]

The point of the vacuum is to expand the bubbles making them float to the top easier. Pressure would do the opposite.

[@Bl4ckD0g]

@@isaacclark6749 go watch Peter Brown and tell me again that pressure pots are gonna lead to bubbles.

[@OmegaRiley]

I'd probably say pull the vacuum first, then move it to a pressure pot for absolute best penetration. There's still gonna be a slight air cushion in the bands, and that trapped pressure could still add to the spring force pushing them out of the cross section. Just my uneducated guess.

[@fleamarketfread]

Change the name resin channel at this point. Want the og guys back

[@nicholasrossi2316]

Agreed, unsubscribing. Gave them one more chance since last video...

Yeah, it sucks without Dan

Wait ...who are these guys and they didn't taste a damn thing lol

[@RraMakutsi]

Well... one of them did a quick taste, but his spit-take proved that he is truly no Mitchell.

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

I would’ve never guessed that this method would’ve STILL resulted in bands wanting to come out. The end result still looks really nice though 👍

[@12345.......]

Can you loan them your pressure pot?

[@dipgrizzly25]

What happened to Dan? Is he not in videos anymore? Feel like I haven't seen him in forever.

[@Bl4ckD0g]

Thought he had a kid, maybe he's focusing on that instead of being in videos. I dunno.

[@bjrnpetersen9640]

Hey Everyone been away for a while what happened to the other two guys who started the Chanel "no criticism just a question"😊

[@waffles6477]

Rubber makes pretty good seals, and with all the pressure from the rubber bands it's probably pushing all the resin out from in-between the bands (especially in the middle).

[@jordansjournal1324]

IDK why but the sheer silence of the shop in this video, and the fact that it mostly takes place in the office, makes it feel like you guys secretly snuck in at 2 in the morning to prove to everybody that you could make a successful rubber band ball when you were told to stop wasting company resources on it lol On that note, I'm invested and can't wait for part 4 of this thrilling saga

[@chaseweltzin5853]

What happened to Dan?

[@TechAngel01]

you should use a pressure chamber, instead of a vacuum pump. The pressure will remove the air by making the bubbles microscopic and will force the resin deep into the item being cast.

Why is this guy licking things? Maybe doing something original would work better.

[@siphon154]

Your videos with the new guys are getting really cringe. Like way more cringe than I'm used to from this channel, in a not good way. Please bring back Daniel and Mitchell. Those new guys might work well, but they make awful videos. IMHO

[@yasumehanhu1469]

I'm so glad niches like this exist Sheer reason being, someone's gotta do it And you're that someone We all think thats pretty cool :)

[@-Graham]

Who are you?

[@michaelbernoff5701]

I'm thinking you should start with a rubber bouncy ball then use like 20 different size rubber bands so when you put it on the ball it's not compressing the center as much as. If you wrap it with a gradient of bands that increase in size with the diameter of the ball there shouldn't be much pressure in the center and when you cut it the bands won't want to retract, instead they will already be at there natural form with light pressure

[@bens6813]

So is Dan and Mitch just gone now? What’s going on?

[@spegatti3108]

Resin videos are dope for the cross sections! Keep it up boys 💪

[@simpleman806]

Try using a pressure pot instead of a vacuum chamber

[@KillianTwew]

Am I thinking of a different channel or did you two just hit puberty all of a sudden?

[@CalGames]

Why aren't Dann and Michel making there own video's anymore?

[@schrodingerthecat]

I'm so early to this video it's yesterday.

[@tracybowling1156]

It looks like a cabbage ball.

[@fisher7107]

Maybe try a penetrating resin for wood working? Bc it’s super thin and designed to be pulled into teeny tiny air gaps

[@NicosLeben]

You really should use a pressure pot to press the resin in each air pocket. In most situations this is the better way to create clear resin castings.

[@itsmebougie]

My thought it soaking the initial ball bands in a resin while making it, but if that’s not possible due to slip then just using a thinner resin and curing it so you have a rock hard centre. Then using your method to continue. I think when you have the layers it allows for some thick resin shells to stabilize the structure. Just trying to get that at the middle seems like the trick, possibly there’s a way to inject something in the middle, or making a little spiked ball at the middle to stabilize

[@dimitar4y]

what people don't understand is once they perfect the resin technique, the waterjet channel will become as gods and turn ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING into slices. They will be able to cut apart a turbo, a watch, and many other things apart with perfect optical clarity.

Would stabilizing resin work for this project? Like, just put the rubber band ball in a tank of stabilizing resin and bake it to harden?

[@rasasvada1979]

Y’all should get some cactus juice resin. It does a much better job of filling air pockets in objects being cast. Peter Brown has used it on his channel

You need a pressure pot, it works way better than a vacuum chamber.

[@lynxbelow6922]

Frigging awesome job regardless of rubberbands trying to flee!

[@DanVR001]

You put the tiny rubber ball in liquid nitrogen first... For science, because I have no idea if that works.

[@itswes9686]

I think the more streached a band is the more likely it is to set better because the outer layers are where they are stretched And When a band is taught it is less likely to be "spongy" so try like maybe a marble with small rubberbands then medium then large and it should work.

[@bradley7013]

What did you do to mitchel???

[@mstringham]

[@Borttmania]

Melt the rubber bands together in the middle, then vacuum chamber. They're too tight in the middle, so no acrylic is getting in.

I didn't realize this was an outcome I was rooting for, but I'm stoked to be here for it.

[@alisdairherd9501]

You might have to try curing under pressure, I don't recommend this but it can be done in a paint pressure pot. If you need additional heat to cure you will need an autoclave

[@TheDJOblivion]

You literally recommended it in your first sentence.

[@jercos]

Resin-wetted rubber seals against vacuum. Vacuum the ball and cup, then (possibly by just tipping the whole chamber, with prepared ramp inside) drop the ball into the vacuumed resin.

pressure is key

Why not try injecting small amounts of resin into the ball core and for roughly every 10 wraps after until you reach the size you want; curing as you go?

[@drecknathmagladery9118]

i mean i imagen part of the reason the individual bands where not distinguishable on this one was because the bands where all the same color also use a pressure pot not just a vacuum chamber

[@rallyx77]

The rubber bands may have expanded in the vacuum chamber displacing the resin. So not as much resin in the core as you think.

[@topgoose4818]

These new dudes seem cool and all, but what happened to the old dudes? Just taking a break for a bit? Gone for good?

[@russellsmejkal304]

You could’ve just put a straw into the center of it like one of those small coffee straws to suck the air out of the center

[@radicalrick5634]

put a super ball in the middle or some call them bouncy balls might help the compression in the middle

[@mikailmartinez8597]

Maybe you could inject resin with a needle into the center of the Rubber band ball it could work
