Injecting Water Into Resin

On this episode of Ben's Worx I take your suggestions from yesterdays video and try to inject epoxy resin with water again.

[@11danzizzle11]

A cheap possible alternative for a higher boiling point fluid could be some oil based food coloring (if you’re trying to stay in the edible coloring area and away from mixing chemicals with resin) plus they arnt very opaque and could look pretty cool! :)

[@Digger927]

You should experiment with the salinity levels, if you get it just right then you might have a chance of getting it suspended exactly in the middle.

[@kevinryan4906]

That was my first thought when I saw how quick the water dropped and how much salt he put in the water.

[@paulharder4308]

My thoughts as well. I think this would make an ideal follow up for the next video. I'd also like to see green coolant injected.

[@aligentry4366]

It's the density that's different. If you get the density of the salt water to match the density of the resin, it should stay suspended better but, and here is what's happening, as the water heats up it turns to steam as the hydrogen and oxygen are released from their bond. These games expand as they heat until the resin can no longer hold the pressure and it explodes. It might stay together if you use very tiny droplets and not a lot of them. Good luck.

[@aligentry4366]

Gasses it's supposed to say gasses heat up...

[@Zeebman]

The easy way to get it to work would be to get same volume of water and resin and then weight them out. Keep adding salt until until they weight the same. Adding sugar instead of salt might help with the steam build up issue but it would depend on the amount of sugar

[@AtlanticGRW]

You should try injecting oil, I think it wouldn't react or boil like water did and you could get really interesting results, like the shapes you got with water before stuff went boom

[@kimberleymyles4130]

🎶❣

[@ColinWatters]

Think oil boile at about twice the temperature of water. Might also be worth injecting air into same bubble of oil.

[@tookitogo]

@@ColinWatters No, way higher. Depends on the oil of course. But consider that typical deep frying temperatures are 180-200C, so double the boiling point of water, and it’s not even close to boiling. Similarly, motor oils handle temperatures way higher than that.

[@Emcik]

Hot water maybe?

[@tookitogo]

@@Emcik That would boil even faster, making the problem worse. You need something that _doesn’t_ boil, not something that boils _sooner!_ 🤦‍♂️

[@Dawnnie473]

The salt one has a different boiling point, probably why it didn't give off so much of a show.

[@Rebelwolf2023]

Ok.. this was so cool.. not going to lie.. i jumped when that POPPED.. Happy anniversary too YALL!!!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate 😊 yeah me too 😂

[@beholder8467]

If not water, maybe you could inject something else that won't boil, then turn it into a really cool looking lamp or something.

[@racer2k5x43]

Use vegetable oil or something similar won’t boil and can still dye it

[@duanedibbley9246]

Oil based paint could possibly work or it might end up mixing with the resin 🤔.

[@DestructionRising]

Antifreeze coolant, non deluded. It’s thicker that way and there are a few colors to choose from, depending on what you auto parts store carries.

[@MultiMozman]

Coolant can still boil but brake fluid has a higher boiling point and can be dyed as well

[@tbthedozer]

Maybe mineral oil? It’s clear and might take to dyes or pigments well?

[@thelamandapanda]

Happy anniversary! We need a part 3, experiment with different levels of salinity until you get one that matches the density of the resin exactly!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Amanda 😊 will do

"Hope this thing doesn't explode on me" famous last words XD loved the video

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@NationalCrafter]

You should recast the second one, the one that exploded. You could mix up a different colored resin, "I think purple or red would be fantastic", and then pour that around that exploded resin blank and then stick it into the vac chamber.

[@jesanoldude]

I was thinking the same thing recast #2 in new mold with a bright color.

[@NationalCrafter]

@@jesanoldude Turn it into a sphere or a lava lamp shape, would look amazing.

[@mountainman4410]

So, moisture makes the Resin get hotter, which makes it set faster, which makes it get hotter, which makes it set faster. And so goes the cycle. It's called, "run away exothermic reaction. Try doing it by injecting epoxy mixed with color. This wont have the effect of adding moisture.

I personally like the dynamic effect of the second one, but the fourth one is interesting! If you've ever heard of an enhydro quartz (pretty highly prized by gemstone collectors), it's a piece of quartz that formed with a pocket of liquid inside of it, and that fourth one you did really gives a similar effect to those!

[@youtubeSuckssNow]

Ok hear me out here. Put water and mixed resin in a bucket, take one of those giant drill mixers and put it on a stand and have it mix the entire time its curing. What would happen? I would say put it in a bottle and shake it the entire time but obviously the pressure would make it pop Ahh edit: also I would use one of the bakers dough spatulas instead of a batter mixer. Since folding the water into it would be better than essentially blending it

Use a light blue epoxy then do the experiment adding water ago that it does the controlled explosion again. Afterwords add a storage color to the original light blue one and see how cool it would be after you turn it

[@connorr6343]

I would imagine that playing with different salt saturation could impact the buoyancy of the water in the resin. I'd be interested to see how other fluids react too. Like glycerin

[@Schixotica]

he should try nitro glycerin

[@cdwoodwerks6464]

Congrats on the anniversary. One thing you can try is degassing the water. If the water is from the tap or was shaken up it can trap oxygen. Put a small amount of the water in the vac chamber and release all the free oxygen in the water and see if that makes a difference. May not change much but it’s worth a try

[@CurrentElectrical]

Congrats you two. I hope that you both have a wonderful day celebrating.

Try Distilled water, it wont boil!

[@SilvaDreams]

Unfortunately that is only true in laboratory conditions, once it has any impurities in it, it will boil. So by adding dye in it will allow the distilled water to boil. What he needs to do it use a slow set epoxy that won't get very hot and cause the water to heat up so drastically.

[@VergilTheLegendaryDarkSlayer]

That's extremely dangerous as the moment you break the surface it boils instantly Mythbusters did a myth of exploding water

[@matthewfreeman5530]

My wife has a suggestion for this concept. How about de-gassing the water and keeping it ice cold? Might help with the expansion.
