ORBEEZ & RESIN! - Not What I Expected!

What would happen if we put Orbeez in Resin ? this is an Orbeez experiment too see what happens to them. we try too different methods here lets see which one works ?

[@peterrondelez]

You should try soaking the beads in stabilizing resin since it's much more water-like and you can soak them for as long as need be without worrying about the resin curing. Then spread them on cookie sheets and cure them in the oven. Finally cast them in your usual resin. Provided the beads absorb the stabilizing resin, you should end up with a blank filled with full sized beads that you can turn. Also, with the current blank you just made, let the beads dry and shrink so you can shake them out, then fill the voids left behind with colourful resin.

[@pollypocket2282]

LOVE THIS IDEA❤!

[@vee_tinymoose]

Things what I was wondering, if there is a way to stabilise each orbee first

[@ashleyjohnson9054]

I can say that if you soak them in alcohol, they won't absorb any of it. Alcohol mixed with water definitely leaves at least some alcohol behind in the container if it's sealed so it can't evaporate. From my own experiments in seeing if it's possible to use black ones as 'frog's eyes' in potion bottles left in an area they may freeze. Can also say that they shrink as they freeze, and it's weird to see how the water is forced out while freezing, but not in ALL beads.

[@kristopheriliff4836]

[@knitsewfancy]

I wonder if you use a very thin viscosity resin and soak the Orbeez in part a or part b only. Then after they have expanded some, mix in the other part of the resin. ?? Wonder if that'd get you what you were looking for.

[@ChrisFranklyn]

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Something to expand and soak them. But then... might as well buy solid beads in the first place.

[@johnnyb95678]

Another fun and crazy idea. Thank you for sharing!

[@TKs3DPrints]

i would thought maybe isopropyl alcohol to soak the beads in.. though not sure the effect it would have on the beads or the colour.. just thought it might be better for the resin.. also you could try a very runny slow resin so the beads might soak it. though what would be cool if is you make it again and then let them all dry up again so they drop out then pour another coloured resin in to fill the holes then when it is lathed you would get that strange mix. :) but you would have to wait for them to dry up

[@MickTee2k]

Beads just absorb water, not alcohol. In fact, IPA will draw moisture out of already wet orbeez.

[@TKs3DPrints]

was on about using dry ones and see if they soak up the ipa. was not on about using soaked water orbeez :) @@MickTee2k

[@MickTee2k]

​@@TKs3DPrints Restating my comment: Dry beads don't absorb IPA, they only absorb water. Additional info: IPA actually sucks the water out of "full" beads.

[@stevendegonia]

The interesting thing with this is if you let it sit in a warm place, the water beads will dry out and shrink down, allowing them to reduce in size and fall out of the holes easier, leaving the impressions in the resin behind. You can then remove the beads and have an interesting mould of resin as an art piece or fill the holes with layers of colored resin, slowly and make a whole other piece of art.

[@hollypierce3076]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a throwback video? I love to watch the orbees popping out of the set resin! I really think that it would look way cool if you poured a little bit more resin and orbees in a taller bowl, let it set and then leave the orbees to dry up and pop out. Then take that blank and re pour a different color of resin to fill the voids! It could potentially be a Funky project!!

[@mystressmag4459]

I saw something on a cooking show once, a Japanese dish possibly, natto, maybe. Slimy soy beans. It’s been a while since, but that’s what it reminds me of. Would highly recommend content alcohol work to hydrate the orbees? I’ve seen alcohol based tints for epoxy in the past so it might mix.

[@elliot_rat]

man you're bringing all the classics back

[@screamingbirdheart]

If you build it up in layers I think you could make a pretty funkadalik light out of it. First make a 2cm layer with orbees, when it hardened. Place a light bulb or led in the middle of it. Fix it with uv-resin. Make a hole in the mold for the electric cable. Make sure everything is fixed with uv resin. Then poor the 2nd layer on top of it filled with orbees. When it's hardened make a third layer of clear epoxy over the top of only a cm. In that way the orbees can't escape. And finally cut the mold open with a Stanley blade. And turn on the light of your orbees nightlight 🥳🥳🥳

[@FullmetalAngyl]

I would really like to see this submerged in something that will dissolve the orbeez or dry them out so you can shake them all out and leave nothing but the holes. This could be a really cool concept for a table. You pour it in layers and the last layer is thin enough that the orbeez are poking out of the top. Then pick out the orbeez and fill the holes with another color.

[@Shadowpixy]

When I was a kid and public school didn’t automatically think that kids were too stupid to do projects with hot wax or archery or riflery; when school actually taught kids how to balance their bank account or cook for themselves… Anyway, when I was a kid, I learned how to make candles, using an empty cardboard milk carton, ice cubes, a pencil, a string for wick, and paraffin. First, you cut the top off the milk carton so you basically have a square cup. You tie the string around the pencil, long enough for it to touch the bottom of the carton, and then lay the pencil across the top of the carton. You fill the carton with ice cubes. Then you melt your paraffin until it is completely liquid, and then gently pour it into the carton over the ice cubes. Once it’s completely hardened, you pour the water out and remove the carton from your candle. What you’re left with is a candle that basically resembles Swiss cheese. as the candle burns, the wax will pour out the various holes, so you have to make sure you put it on some kind of non-flammable dish to catch the wax. What I usually do is just cover a salad plate with aluminum foil and use that as my candle holder. The more adults and the school systems underestimate kids and don’t challenge their minds or teach them the respect of fire arms or even each other, the worse everything is going to get. I have no issue whatsoever if my kid’s teacher taught this as an art project or even a science project because art and science are basically the same thing it’s all depends on how you look at it .

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

I think your idea of stirring the dry Orbeas after an hour would make a lovely piece, I'm just wondering if a regular mold would work better than wood turning? Maybe a pencil holder?

[@DarrylWPerry1789]

Can you heat that enough to dehydrate the beads? Then you could use colored resin to fill the holes

[@tracyharper2121]

Ohhhhhh curious! Could you drain the orbs and dry them a little before pouring the resin? Looking forward to next week’s video! ❤

[@kayfse8373]

[@madmadammonkey9248]

I wonder what a collection of the scraps ( from all your projects) would look like mixed resined and turned. 😮

[@jeremyt1917]

I wonder of using a compressed air wand from your compressor and getting the air under each would pop those surface ones out faster. Love it!

[@andreaamplified]

Perhaps mix half with part A and half with part B wait a bit before mixing together. The beads might absorb the independent parts better?

[@LeonardGreenpaw]

Nick, here is something for you to try. make a mold of clear resin. turn that down for the shavings. Then take those shavings and use them when you are mixing a material that normally sinks in resin. The shavings will turn transparent in the new resin and will hold the sinking or floating non resin material in place. Bonus for using a colored resin for the shaving and a different colored resin for the rest.

[@bonnerdebbie]

I am looking forward to what you make!

[@timisme8360]

I love the way you post videos success or fail and, as my grandfather used to say, with warts and all. And those Orbeez bouncing all over the place just plain hit my funny bone for some reason.

[@vallkill2061]

I'm curious what would happen if you soaked the orbez in 1 component of the resin then mix in the second component.

[@TheSwarm666X]

2 ideas. (keep in mind i'm only 4 minutes in). 1 use half the water needed to swell the beeds, hopefully that keeps it from wetting the resin. and 2 i don't know if you seen the magnetic mixing rods used in chemistry? set up a mixing rod in the pressure chamber. maybe the base could work under the pot. this way you can have it stirring while it hardens. you may lose the rod, but it may do something cool.

[@neverperfectresin1700]

Just subscribed! I love this idea and even more so how much fun you have with it!

[@nickzammeti]

🙏🏽❤️

[@MickTee2k]

This is actually something I have been wanting to see with resin, I have seen molten gold poured onto a bucket of orbeez and it comes out amazing, you might be able to do the same thing with nearly-set resin. As for the project you're on at the moment though, if you use the same amount of resin but a higher container with extra orbeez to provide extra weight that will squish the lower ones together more, creating a larger contact point between them. That way you just leave the result for a week or two and have the dried-out orbeez just fall out.

[@celtic5764]

Hey I just had a thought instead of soaking them in water can you soak them in very slow curing time resin and they may also stay in place…

[@nc7087]

[@lady_draguliana784]

if you did this again, you could do short layers. let the orbeez escape, fill the voids with a totally different resin color(s), then repeat on the next layer up! I'd bet you could make an AWESOME piece from it!

[@ClumsyGamerGirl2001]

You could fill the holes left by the orbeez with some fun colored resin!

[@texanasimmons1761]

It should make an interesting project!

[@deslauriersmama]

Try the bowl in a bowl method! Then pop the orbies out and add coloured resin to fill all the holes!

[@yolly4596]

I've tried this! After the initial 24 hour cure I put it in the bottom of the aga to dry the orbeez out, it took days and even though I coloured the resin with turquoise dye it ended up translucent white. Using bigger orbeez is the way to go as they'll come out easier when dried.

[@pmhcustomcreations]

Dude! Mark the sides of the blank and cut it open on the band saw. Then line it up and do a black resin pour. Then turn it. Think you can make something pretty funky with it. Also what if you used 2:1 slow cure so they might soak up being a lower viscosity.

[@CreedStonegate]

If you stop by Yandles, they have some cool Zebra Wood that might go with this! This gave me deja vu super hard until I realized. Long time viewer, nice to see some classic projects get new eyes! :]

Hey Nick. Cool idea! It looks great. Just a thought what would happen if you soaked them in penetrating resin first. It is thin like water but hardens.

I'd like to see you put missing side down on one of your lighted stands and let the light shine thru. Nice piece of 'funkadelic' art work.

[@johnwilliams8818]

You know what could be a cool project? Get some glass marbles and drill small holes halfway through them. Take a bunch of pipe cleaners and braid some glass fiber optic strands onto them, then construct like and old Banyan tree with branches. Bundle the glass strands at the tree's root and leave loose ends in the branches. Then, maybe use UV resin to attach the fiber optic strands into the holes drilled into marbles. Like fruit! Perhaps add some small craft leaves. Use a nice piece of wood as a base and drill a hole to let the glass fibers through. Then, encase the tree with resin. Connect the fibers to a light, and create a strange tree of different colored and sized marbles that light up!

[@Dreamworld986]

Your always entertaining no matter what you do. I laughed and smiled thru this video. If you used the Orbeez as they are and let your resin start to set before you put them in they wouldn't sink so much and might distribute throughout the resin. That would still be a colorful project and you could put that on the lathe.

[@CherrySignature3]

Love it

[@andrewadams9686]

I wonder what would happen if you used a vacuum to pull the moisture now, maybe the orbeez would shrink and become easier to remove? If that happens, I wonder if you could replace the voids with another resin?

Nik, put them in a jug, soak them in water, when they ‘grow, (enjoy the relaxing moment of waving ur fingers thru then) remove & lay on paper towels till dry..Then, add the resin! Sorted!

I know the beads are made of a material that absorbs and retains water, but I wonder if there's a more resin-friendly liquid that they would drink the same way. Perhaps try them in straight hardener, then if it works add resin to the result.

[@wpewingman5135]

Just think if you did a small layer of water filled orbeez in resin. Then when they dry out and exit the resin, you could add colored resin for a really nice effect. You could even do that several times with different colored resin. Glue all of the colored bits together and then make something out of that

[@butterfly66princess]

That gave me an idea-have you tried setting crushed orbies in resin or jelly in resin?? Different ways such as: set jelly cubes, jelly crystals (from the packet straight into resin).

I like to see you dey out the beeds so they shrik and can be removed the do a second resin in a different colour. Like a honeycomb.

[@tracybowling1156]

Hi Nicki Z! Have you ever heard of molecular seives? They're used in chemistry to remove water from chemicals. They have teeny holes that only water molecules will fit in. That's just like Orbees. The resin is just too big to fit in an Orbee. Oh P.S. I really want to see what you can do with this project! I'm super duper excited! 😊

[@Orthr]

If I remember correctly, try pouring salt over it. I'm pretty sure that will cause the beads to lose water and they should fall out easier.
