Can You Cast Dry Ice in Epoxy Resin ?

one size fits all my ah so as you just saw when i made the

resin

ice video a lot of you suggested that i should try dry ice so i did some digging and found something now find dry ice around here you can be a bit difficult, you can't just go to your local supermarket and grab it, you have to go to a special ice factory that makes it, but once you find it super fun to play with, now we all know what happens when we go dry. ice in water and we're about to find out what happens when I drop it in

resin

but before we do I think there are some other experiments we can try so I graded the kitchen and here's what I found: I have some white vinegar a a little milk mayonnaise cooking oil a little cola a little yoghurt and of course it wouldn't be Australian if it didn't have vegemite now there's another experiment I've been wanting to try this one is 100 percent alcohol and when you drop dry ice into alcohol it will cool once you have that super chilled liquid you can put they're inside like these gummy snakes and then once they've cooled you can break them into a thousand pieces now we'll do that experiment a bit later but for now let's start with the milk yeah i had to guess i would let's just say this milk is probably going to behave the same way as water wow i didn't expect that gas to be trapped inside these bubbles so as soon as i re let's wind all the gas is going to come out alright that made a little messy glad we started with the milk though it's time for round two this time im going to use a silicone mat let's try the cola wonder if the carbonation in the water will have some added effect so you can see all that gas is trapped in the bubbles only temporarily and keeps coming out like a steam train ok it turned out pretty much as expected so let's do the next white vinegar now i really have no idea what to expect with this what do you guys think same as water in glue it looks very similar to water maybe a little more violent next i think we'll try the mayonnaise not quite sure how well it will work i think that i might have to force it in there ok it's not really doing much add a little more up top i wonder if we're just gassing and all of a sudden this will blow up then i'll be covered in mayonnaise i don't want to be covered in mayonnaise yonesa could back off well it's been five minutes and we got nothing good that went pretty smooth and don't worry I'm not going to throw this away I'll save it for later I think we're going to have the same reaction with the yogurt so let's remove this quick smells like passion fruit mango passion fruit oh a little bit better reaction nothing crazy though now we have our last two vegemite and cooking oil since we've had two boring ones i think we should do the cooking oil because i think that the vegemite is leaving. to be a flop guys what is your prediction for this dragon to be more like water or more like milk wow either we just have a bunch of bubbles but we can't see the actual gas like smoke now there's a good chance of that this oil could be super refreshing let's take a look and see how it's cold we're minus seven minus eight degrees celsius or thirty degrees fahrenheit that's pretty cold now it's time for the last of our meals the vegemite now like i said before i think this goes to be a bit chill but hey you never know come on let me know in the comments if you have tried vegemite and if you have let me know if you liked it its an acquired taste i personally absolutely hate it but nicole loves it i think what i could do here is to drop the ice down and then fold the vegemite over the top ok i made a nice seal around the back hopefully we can build up some pressure and get u n little blast now i think all we're doing is making vegemite really cold so those last few experiments weren't exciting at all so i think it's time we try to super cool some alcohol now if any of you going to try to super chill a liquid be very careful because even a splash of this can freeze it so now that the alcohol is in we are going to add the dry ice now once we add the dry ice we are going to wait for that all the bubbles go away and then we know the liquid is super chilled, once it's done we'll put the gummy snake in and see if we can freeze it it's been a few minutes now we're going to check the temperature minus 53 celsius minus 64 fahrenheit now we're supercooling so you can see now that all the bubbles are starting to settle and now it's time to drop our gummy snake so we can let i'll plow that in there until it freezes ok ok i think we're tough enough let's give it a whack how cool was that definitely worth the wait now is the time we've all been waiting for dry ice and

epoxy

.

Just like the first experiment with ice, we'll drop some al. cohol ink and then wait for it to heat up I'm also going to transfer it to this molding container so we can see the resin experiment better I'm going to change my face shield for my respirator starting to heat up now it shouldn't be too long while we wait for the resin gets hot. I wanted to take a second and thank you for being here. I really appreciate your support and also wanted to give you a sneak peek of next week's build video. i got the beatles yellow submarine now if it's your first time on my channel and you think it's something you might be interested in please consider subscribing i post new videos every week now let's get back to the action okay it's time to go let's do it let's just drop it, take a look right at the bottom and we're bubbling, now it's a race to see if the resin on top will set and keep those bubbles in, look at the smoke effect we're getting on top. here's ok i guess i'll just back off just in case Everything happens so it was really fun to see the way the resin was heated and then cured on top slowing down the bubbles we ended up with a little hole in the top that It was just allowing the gas to escape but I think what we need to do is go bigger we're going to go more resin and more ice I'm going to try to wait as long as I can this time see if we can get the resin to seal there's a fine line Definitely getting closer now okay I'm going for it okay I'm going to step back okay we didn't have an explosion which to be honest I'm pretty happy I think we'll let this cool we'll take it out and take a closer look our molds have now cooled so let's pull them out and take a closer look so here's the first one we did it turned out pretty cool i thought it was going to break the bottom but not all we got was a little pin hole at the top here if you flip it over it looks like a tornado and here's the second one this one looks amazing These voids here almost look like the gallery inside an ant nest and again we don't go through the bottom but now we have a couple of holes in the top that could benefit us because I think with this one it could be cool to put it in the vacuum chamber put a different color resin and try to suck it into all those voids what do you guys think I should get it right that's all for the this week's episode hope you enjoyed this one thanks for watching and i'll catch you next time
