You didnt have to create an air pocket, the chemical in the match head is Potassium Chlorate and that has its own oxygen at the molecular level to provide towards combustion. You should try this agin but mold the match directly into the epoxy, and mabye make sure to keep the wall thickness as thin or thinner than what it was here. It might crack open as you ignite it, because the pressure of the gases evolved in the reaction will have no where to go.
@@Shrek_Has_Covid19 No they will just explode then. Its probably far more interesting to see would a single match head even crack it, or as it ignites and the pressure rises would this be enough to stop it combusting to completion. Then do a firework if you want but its just going to be a louder bang with shards of resin going everywhere.
@@sandramays795 Because it contains an oxidizer. The same idea lets a rocket can combust in space and is also how almost all explosives work because they have to burn much faster than air could bring in more oxygen.
This makes me wonder if there's a way to trap regular or coloured smoke in resin and have it last,some coloured smoke in a pendant would look super cool
Well, regular smoke bomb, blackpower or some high power composition to ignite the fuse burn. And maybeeeeeeeee? But then there's all the debris. Which could be hidden in some sort of wooden base? Definitely not pendant sized but possible and itd be super cool!
@@Eazy_Company maybe you get the smoke balls and take the powder out and put it in a small pendant or maybe and egg and then ignite it. I’m curious to know how long the smoke would last in there
My guess is, even though the smoke isn't able to escape, it would still cool down, and revert back into either resin or condensation on the inside of the cavity. Would only look cool for a hour or so. If even.
That was really cool experiment, Ben! I wasn't expecting it to light; I thought the laser/sunlight would be diffused by the resin cylinder. And now you have smoke trapped on there! Maybe you should turn it on the lathe into a mini bottle; I think that would be a cool and unique piece to showcase! Thanks for the bonus vid!
If your going to mess around with lasers. Please invest in a good pair of laser safety goggles. We don't need to have our favorite mad scientist to go blind.
Yeah nah, we're Aussies mate, we only got Beer Goggles here ay ! Yeah but seriously - many ppl who have regular glasses often think they have some protection. The real fact is that, reading glasses, driving glasses, etc. even sunglasses, actually intensify and focus the LASER Light into the eye !!! The tiniest Air Bubble in the resin can act as a parabolic mirror, reflecting and focusing the beam off axis, into the eye. Those Green LASERS (are more powerful than listed) emit massive amounts of higher frequently invisible light. So you can think you are safe, when in fact you are not ! Don't fear it, respect it. And enjoy playing around with it. Yeah yeah, keep ya mind above the table, we're still talk'n bout the Laser...
That would be super cool! Just buy a super cheap, used microwave to do it in. You don't want all those resin fumes leaching into the microwave you heat your food up in.
@@izzieluv well of course he could but I was replying to the comment. It didn’t mention modifying the piece. The thought of somebody strolling around with that clunky of a necklace made me laugh… Mostly a tongue-in-cheek comment on my part.
The match has it’s own oxygen so for that the void was not needed. But the void may have prevented an explosion 😀 BTW. The sun probably did not light it so fast because the infrared light (heat radiation) may not pass the resin.
@@SylviaRustyFae been a while since i worked with lasers but i vaguely remember laser safety eyewear specification for the wavelength of the laser youre working with. faceshield probably wasnt even up to par itself xD
Lovely to see you are keeping up with the experiments and crazy ideas! I can see it now in a few weeks every other resin creator will be doing this same experiment thanks to your inspiration!
That was just brilliant ! I have to be honest, I had my doubts about this one. But all I can say is WOW and it looks amazing filled with smoke afterwards. Good work, keep it up. Very impressive!
@@remusgrrrl still, smoke only is visible because it has lots of tiny solid or liquid particles. Those are either going to settle to the bottom, or stick to the sides giving the glass aaa ssmoky appearance. The actual air/combustion gases inside are going to turn clear eventually.
I am an over 70 year old artist, and I am not well. I miss my workshop. Your videos always are a perfect distraction from my painful condition. Thank you Ben. Keep epoxying.
I said it before and I'll say it again... I love that you do not give up on your ideas! Like others have mentioned, your channel is one of the few that I 'thumbs up' before watching the whole video. Great work again!
Super multi resin cast. Cast a blank, turn it, cast it again, turn that, cast it again, so on and so forth until satisfied. Then maybe cast final object in display sized clear rectangular prism
Excellent video. You have single handedly got me and my daughter into epoxy projects. It's a lot of fun and not too expensive- if I skip out on the lathe that I badly want now. Might end up like the Ender3 I got last year. I just have to find a way to justify it. Take care man.
The match head contains its own oxidizer so would light even without the void. It might create enough pressure to explode the resin though. I think you should try it. LOL
@@ThePrufessa It's the pressure from expanding gas that makes it possible. There are plenty of videos of this. You can make a decent little projectile with one match head as long as it is contained.
@@ThePrufessa True, I was just thinking it might as he did it in 2 half's and there was still a visible seam. Even though it was probably just a refraction of light.
If he puts it in a pressure pot the air in the wood of the matchstick would be compressed and under pressure, leaving less capacity for the gas produced by combustion to be compressed into. It would be interesting to test if there was a more violent reaction.
Can you put a mini computer in resin and keep it functional? Examples include Pi, Arduino, or NUC. Some issues i see are wires, resin interacts with the components, finally heat dissipation, i am sure there are more that i am not thinking about.
Also in the casting process it is possible that some solder could be melted shorting it, also it would probably need to be turned on before being casted, so yeah a ton of problems, still an interesting idea
Loved watching the match catch light and the cylinder fill up! Be pretty cool to try a similar thing with a smoke bomb. Use the magnifier to light the fuse.
if you were to cast a coiled "firework fuse" leaving one tip exposed for ignition, i think it would be pretty neat. also microwaving popcorn kernels cast in resin might be a ... pop off vid! love your vids man!
May be difficult but after viewing the casted ice cube I immediately thought about those little sponge animals in dissolvable capsules. I think it'd me neat to find out how much water one of those sponge animals absorbs and then getting that volume of water to a supercooled point so that it freezes moments after dropping in one of those capsules. Then the casting process would be very similar but if you shape the volume of water in a way that lets the sponge expand to its full shape it could have a cool look to it once it takes its final form in the resin without any evidence of the water that made it happen. Love the videos!
if i put a match in a jam jar and close the lid i can light it with a magnifier and the sun. now if i "encased it" in glass it would only light up if the match head had oxygen trapped in with it. i would be interested to see a match encased in resin and not just in a resin tub
I saw a similar idea with a seed but I think making a terrarium with plants and dirt and some water would be cool! Completely sealed off from the outside and see if it makes it’s own ecosystem. Could be a cool project to do and then make an update video on a month or two later
Stoked i found this channel ! You have lots of great and original fun ideas (this video included) ,I'd be shocked if you aren't at at least 500k subs by the end of year. (My bet is 1m subs by February)
That's pretty cool. I kept thinking when it was on the lathe that a friction light would be fun to watch too. Maybe stick a bit of the strike strip or sand paper inside the tube and spin it up to see if it would light like that.
Hi Ben, that was totally cool. I wonder how long will the smoke stay in there, will it fade after time. Brilliant experiment. Have a great weekend. Take Care
You may have already done this but wondering.....can you mix beach sand in resin and turn/finish to come out smooth? I went to a beach on vacation and wondered if I could make a bowl or something to remind me the the trip. Thanks!!
Very cool! Now that we know this works, try colored smoke balls. Create a larger void inside the resin & also pump in some oxygen right before sealing it shut so the flame burns longer, creating more smoke. Love your work!
Ben: Can you light a match cast in resin? Me: Of course not Ben, you need the fire triangle! Ben: Explains the fire triangle and says he'll put a void in there. Me: That's an IQ Level 3000 play right there....
Great video!! I love all of the interesting tests you do and I think one similar to this that would be fun is to stick several match heads in an Epoxy case, light them up and see if the smoke will stay in there, or if we're lucky there might even be a crack that forms from the pressure. Another thing that would be interesting with this is there would be no match stick to absorb the smoke, so the smoke might stay in the case forever without 'dissipating' into the match stick wood. Love the work and keep it up with your good smiles and fun times! :)
That was pretty cool 😎. I wonder if you can incase a magnifying glass in resin would it still work or could you making a magnifying glass from resin? 🤔
@@nothingnothing1799 Yes, it is a very powerful blue laser... I've singed myself a few time, set fire to 4 different kinds of match, etched wood and plastic, nearly set a fly on fire mid-flight *it did not survive* matter of fact I need to charge the battery
@@I-Am-Blue mine is a 500mw uv laser i dont remember where I got it from, but ive etched just about everything in my room with it, popped balloons which btw is the lamest thing u could possibly do with a high powered laser, and burnt many matches
that's awesome! you should scale it up! like, I'd take all the flammable bits off the tip of the match, put a bunch of it in that same kind of hollow (but bigger) then light it up and see if the smoke is even thicker!
The smoke encased inside is really cool, did it stick around or eventually dissipate/stick to the sides? If it lingers for a long time it might be cool to do a similar experiment but you maximize the smoke that you trap and have it in a bigger void and minimize the waste left over (so the encased smoke is the focal point and there’s less evidence/no spent match)
That was absolutely stunning and Awesome Ben Worx looking forward to more of your videos when you do your next one how about all sorts of candy in epoxy resin ben worx.
I really didn't think this would work, congratulations! Is there any way to cast an egg and then break it once it's inside? Would the heat cook it? Maybe you've already done this...
If you cap a lit candle and then open it after it goes out you will get lots of smoke being released. However, if you leave there for a few hours or a day the smoke will no longer be aromatic and cling to the sides. I think that's whats going to happen to this demonstration. It will still look smokey but when cut open it will be just soot on the sides of the container. Still a very cool and fun video!
What if you encased a strike anywhere match and then turned it in a lathe? Would the spinning of the lathe cause enough friction to light it? Maybe if you scuffed up the inside of the tube?
Very cool! One question: you mention being concerned that the plastic vial would "most likely" melt in the resin, but the cups you used are also plastic and much thinner as well. Are the two different containers--the vial and the cups--so differently affected by the resin's heat as it cures? Regardless, i really liked watching you do this cool experiment!
I absolutely loved this idea; you're awesome! As an extension, you should try casting various low-power fireworks (like sparklers, snaps, smoke bombs, maybe a firecracker) in resin and light them the same way. I'm guessing there will be some pretty epic results!
Wait a sec.. are you ZHmapper/Doug's Lab/Praxichis? In that case you probably already know how this will go, assuming the fireworks light to begin with.
I was very confident the Lazer would not work for this. Just because the same way clear safety glasses work to keep your eyes from getting flash around welding. They both deflect any ultraviolet rays and prevent the business part of the rays from getting to what's being protected. I've been a welder for 25+ years so I'm knowledgeable on that aspect of light transfer. I also own a fiberglass and gel coat business that I use all resins especially poly and epoxy. Definitely an great video. I'm not criticizing at all.
Good job, I wonder if it would look better if the match was not touching the sides of the void. Can you pop corn with the heat of the resin or not hot enough?
Love your work here , i was curious if you mite consider a Matchbox car like maybe a Chevrolet , i don't know if you have them there but I've been wanting to maybe see a Matchbox Caprice classic encased in resin , i am a collector and customizer of Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars and ive always wondered how well that would turn out .

The smoke encased inside is really cool, did it stick around or eventually dissipate/stick to the sides? If it lingers for a long time it might be cool to do a similar experiment but you maximize the smoke that you trap and have it in a bigger void and minimize the waste left over (so the encased smoke is the focal point and there’s less evidence/no spent match)
That was absolutely stunning and Awesome Ben Worx looking forward to more of your videos when you do your next one how about all sorts of candy in epoxy resin ben worx.
Thanks Richard 😊
Success or failure, I loooove watching your experiments! I actually applauded when it went off, lol.
Thankyou 😊
Wow!! That’s really dang cool and I wasn’t expecting it to light!
I really didn't think this would work, congratulations! Is there any way to cast an egg and then break it once it's inside? Would the heat cook it? Maybe you've already done this...
If you cap a lit candle and then open it after it goes out you will get lots of smoke being released. However, if you leave there for a few hours or a day the smoke will no longer be aromatic and cling to the sides. I think that's whats going to happen to this demonstration. It will still look smokey but when cut open it will be just soot on the sides of the container. Still a very cool and fun video!
Try the match shorter in one void and fill it with resin before joining the two, it only kinda lit because of the little bit of oxygen in the void
I love how your vids are just you learning like all of us
These experiment are getting better and better
What if you encased a strike anywhere match and then turned it in a lathe? Would the spinning of the lathe cause enough friction to light it? Maybe if you scuffed up the inside of the tube?
Very cool!
One question: you mention being concerned that the plastic vial would "most likely" melt in the resin, but the cups you used are also plastic and much thinner as well. Are the two different containers--the vial and the cups--so differently affected by the resin's heat as it cures?
Regardless, i really liked watching you do this cool experiment!
I didn’t think it would work out but it did! Amazing experiment sir.
which type of match did you use? a safety match or the old fashioned red head match that strikes on any surface?
Very cool, gratz on making it work. Just curious if you've tried lighting a match with the laser outside the resin to make sure it can do it.
I absolutely loved this idea; you're awesome! As an extension, you should try casting various low-power fireworks (like sparklers, snaps, smoke bombs, maybe a firecracker) in resin and light them the same way. I'm guessing there will be some pretty epic results!
I’ll see what I can do 👍
I expect all of those (except for the snaps) to split the resin and create a boom, that may be a lot more powerful than a firecracker in open air.
Wait a sec.. are you ZHmapper/Doug's Lab/Praxichis? In that case you probably already know how this will go, assuming the fireworks light to begin with.
I was very confident the Lazer would not work for this. Just because the same way clear safety glasses work to keep your eyes from getting flash around welding. They both deflect any ultraviolet rays and prevent the business part of the rays from getting to what's being protected. I've been a welder for 25+ years so I'm knowledgeable on that aspect of light transfer. I also own a fiberglass and gel coat business that I use all resins especially poly and epoxy. Definitely an great video. I'm not criticizing at all.
Dude! Will a firecracker ignite encased in resin? I was thinking, if you degassed it, and didn't provide a snorkel, Could it ignite? Cheers.
That was cool, it would be interesting to see similar experiments done with a thermometer.
Thanks David 👍
Hello, when I try this I have plenty of bubbles in the resin, how you do to have a so clear, bubbleless resin ? thx a lot !
Good job, I wonder if it would look better if the match was not touching the sides of the void. Can you pop corn with the heat of the resin or not hot enough?
Love your work here , i was curious if you mite consider a Matchbox car like maybe a Chevrolet , i don't know if you have them there but I've been wanting to maybe see a Matchbox Caprice classic encased in resin , i am a collector and customizer of Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars and ive always wondered how well that would turn out . Thanks for sharing your talent with us .
Thanks David, I’ll see what I can do
I really enjoy watching your videos what about putting food inside and seeing how long it would last before it would start turning bad like mold
Interesting experiment! Thanks for changing the music.
OMG that is freaking awesome! I love your experiments! You rock!
Thanks Linda 😊
I'd be curious how the smoke did over time. If it stuck to the walls, settled to the bottom, or just sort of hung in the air inside the tube.
I've only been subbed since last week, when I saw your agg video. I love seeing your wacky ideas come to life. Good job 👍
Thanks Mate 😊👍
Neat! Is there any way to encase the match inside the resin in a vacuum?
