Greetings Nick...if i might suggest something....if you ever wanna try this again, try it with some gelatine added to the water before you freeze it.....it might set when cooled down again...so it might give you a less melted result!...awesome experiment!...loved the vid!...keep it up!

[@WAWALa880]

It looks pretty cool I enjoyed it.

[@TheOriginalCoolDad]

The ice melted due to the exothermic reaction of the resin setting. Placing it in the pressure pot ensured that there is absolutely no space around that water. Because of that, the water itself can not move at all. If you did a larger cube with glitter frozen into it, then you would be able to quantify the movement of the fluid trapped within the resin. Still an amazing project!!

[@LionXL]

yup... a great project for that would be to freeze small plastic fish, grass, etc. and the stick it in the resin and when it done you would have a small [snow] globe/terarium type of thing. might need to use salt water or something so fish don't just float to the top.

[@VictoriousBard]

@@LionXL possibly could add glycerin to make it thick enough for items to not just float

[@Misscaitimac]

Glitter would be pretty cool.

[@brinawitch]

OMG glitter would be soon freaking cool!

[@CntryGal-sz2se]

[@jmarshal]

People act like two creators can’t have the same idea and do similar types of projects. Especially because Nick said people had asked him about ice in resin. Both Ben and Nick did cool videos, no one stole anyone’s “idea”, chill tf out. Great video, Nick! The end result was pretty darn cool.

[@HowDoYouDIY]

That's true. I think that it's also safe to assume that some of their viewers are asking both of them to do the same experiments.

I am always delighted when I absolutely know I'm right about the result of these experiments and then Nick proves me completely wrong. So awesome.

[@thequeue2328]

I was afraid you’d get too close to the green and it would all pour out and make a mess. Then I started to wonder about a similar project. Could color tinted resin could be “injected” into almost cured resin to create separate pockets of color? It could even be added to layers one by one to make a larger piece.

[@ebridge100]

I was going to say something similar. It's liquid but has no air space to slosh so it looks solid.

[@darkonedbc]

Ben worx did that and the result were unexpected to say the least lol

[@KismetSarken]

Never fails...about to put my phone down and go to bed...and a Zammeti video....so, yeah...bed times are for suckers anyway...right?😁 Edit: so going on this idea...if you made odd shaped ice, like with crazy ice molds, and pushed it into the resin like you did here, you could build crazy starscapes and nebula. Even throw some micro glitter in the resin first. It could look really awesome. I think I need to try that. Thanks for the proof of concept!!

[@KismetSarken]

I am seriously thinking about trying this when I get home next week. I'm only home every 6-8 weeks, so my making stuff time is limited. I have a "channel ", only one upload, and my husband is the only subscriber. I'll upload a video of the end result. Not sure how it's going to look, but I'll give it a try. I'm thinking adding the micro glitter and swirling it in shortly before adding the ice. Should give it an interesting effect.

[@KismetSarken]

@@DarkVitamins I was planning on making something or trying to craft something while I am home. It's one of the things I love about my hometime. Considering trying on a small scale, and using some of the small jewelry molds to make the ice cubes in. Then shaping to look like quartz points when set. Just my current working idea as of now.

[@lisaanderson7128]

When you put the ice into the resin, it quickly cools & hardens and then becomes encapsulated. That's what made it float, even more than the less dense ice already would've done. I love trees and kept imagining myself weighing down the ice bubbles with a branched bit of wood to make a fantasy bubble tree. Loved this project, Nick, as well as the movie references! You're a stitch! (Of course its water bubbles, hon! The ice is long gone!😉)💕

[@Zoso14892]

Aww man I was shouting at the screen every time you said "It is ice" haha. It worked a lot better than I thought it would, it looks like you timed it perfectly but as others have said it definitely isn't ice. Puncture one and the water would flow out :D Great experiment though, nicely done.

[@normablake2748]

It is thermodynamically impossible for that ice to still be intact. It's just pockets of colored water.

[@mwater_moon2865]

TECHNICALLY, if the water were under the right pressure, it would be solid (ie. Ice) above 0C. But water is one of those weird ones, where it actually takes LESS than 1 ATM to reach solid at higher temps, and while the addition of the alcohol? dyes mess with that, I just don't see it LIKELY that the "ice" is still "frozen" in this case. But NOT impossible.

[@raymondrussell500]

The ice is floating. It has less density than your resin. And all the ice melts! So its resin and colored water!

[@Lumalee]

At least he mentioned Bens Workx... but not in the video, only the description. He came up with the idea first

[@stephanieruggles7783]

Loki is right. Bens Worx already has done this experiment and it worked out great. What I gather from his experiment: adding salt to the ice cubes will stop them from floating. Hes tried salt in water ballons in resin. Hoping for another Nick video. Get better soon Nick. Your nose sounds so stuffed.

[@danielwebb5669]

My own thought when I was watching him make the ice in the first place, was that the addition of fishing weights, ball bearings, marbles, bb's or the like, would be what was needed to help the ice sink.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

This is very cool ... I fully expected them to melt .. I guess the resin cured immediately on touching the ice ... preserving the shape ! The end result is a stunning unique lamp never could be replicated gorgeous Nick ! 😍🙌🙌

[@ConnyLandes]

I can't believe this actually worked... But it looks amazing especially with the light. That will take real work to top, so go to work and top it. Keep us on our toes! Until then have a great weekend y'all!

[@vixwolf2037]

I really didn't expect this outcome either I think the resin encased the ice so even though it melted it would melt the colors together

[@leehmantylerdrew]

I think this is Nick’s best work… fully encapsulates his style and method all in one compelling piece. Well done!

[@lynniev]

I saw Ben's video on this too. Fun stuff! Have a good day, Nick!

[@dbenci2071]

I think your timing of putting the ice in was impeccable , if you look at the vid, it seems the ice rapid cooled the resine forming a shell around the cubes , I think it's really neat. You can pop that thing in the freezer and re-freeze the ice and have it cool to the touch

[@xmas4203]

I honestly dit NOT expect those cubes to act that way. That was amazing and very interesting. You learn something new with each of your video's 😁

[@upnorthyooper1196]

Yes the ice melted the water was just encapsulated in the resin, that is so cool. You are truly an artist. I love your videos.

[@pyredynasty]

So I guess we've learned that freezing water leaves it solid long enough that it doesn't prevent the resin from setting up like the orbeez did. Can you freeze orbeez? This has a lot of potential. You can make custom ice forms. I'm also thinking about how flowers sometimes get moldy in the resin and if freezing them would prevent that. Or what about resin snow globes.

[@Katja32]

The flowers would definitely still mold. Dry them before putting them in resin to prevent this. Maybe try using a dehydrator on its lowest settings (to try to preserve color). The reason flowers and such mold in resin is because of moisture; freezing them will not remove the moisture. The ice in this obviously is liquid, like the blue ice cube that floated to the top of the second layer of resin. The reason it still LOOKS like ice is that there wasn't air trapped between the ice cubes and the resin. Usually, if you add ice to high heat, when it melts it almost instantly becomes steam (one of my favorite ways to steam veggies; high heat, layer of ice, garlic, vegetables, cover tightly, and keep the pan in motion), however, the changing stages of the ice was trapped within the viscous resin, not allowing the ice to turn to steam. You notice this the most with the orange ice, because it definitely melted quite a bit and shifted around into an amorphous blob rather than holding shape, as the resin wasn't quite as set that early on.

[@BETAmosquito]

"Tell me you're a mad scientist without telling me you're a mad scientist"

[@meribor]

The nearly set resin coated the ice cubes before being locked to all the other ice cubes. Then the resin stuck to the resin to form that big clump. Once the ice melted -and it did melt, ofc- it had no where else to go, and most of the colors stayed within the same form. I think the effect was also helped by using rounded ice cubes. The facets and the spinning light were also a super great idea. Great experiment and project, Nick!

[@greghoffman8223]

I like it. I think it's colored water encased in resin. I would like to see you toss or somehow shoot projectiles into resin and try to get that splash effect. It would be cool if you could do that.

That "ice" is water now... no way that it's still ice after being sunk in 90+c resin. You did manage to get a really cool effect though. I think that because you added each piece of Ice individually a layer of resin formed around each piece which kept the colors from mixing together. All in all a very beautiful piece...

[@Rob-o87]

That is so incredibly cool! I'm.not scientist, but there are a couple observations I'd offer: 1. The ice is melted. 2. The now melted ice semispheres held their shapes and have not mixed color because if you go back and watch, as he added them 1 at a time and pushed them down with the stick it looked to me like the resin was creating a bit of a pocket around the ice individually, so as he added another it made its own pocket. Surely if drilled into colored water would leak out. 3. Anyone else find it amazing that the resin didn't crack out like previous items Nick cast have done when liquid was involved? He's done flowers, and who can forget the dragonfly? Those were heated by the resin, and dried out by the resin causing it to crack out ruining the piece. Interesting that this didn't do that... My hypothesis as to why it didn't is two-fold : 1. He let the resin come up in temp before adding the ice so it was already nearly at its highest temp when he added the ice. 2. Because it was nearly at temperature and began its final setting the resin didn't have enough hear energy to melt the ice, as well as raise the now water's temperature to a boiling point in which steam would be created which would cause a crackout. Also: I believe the blue one leaked as it wasn't fully encapsulated because the resin was hardening as he tried to push it down in. Cool experiment platying with thermodynamics!
