In this video I used foam and covered it in epoxy resin , as I do ! however I wasn't expecting this result to be honest. I doubt you will either ..

This is gonna sound nuts but if you can ever get your hands on a bulk supply of crazy bendy drinking straws I think those would look funky in a project
Yes agreed
Great idea! You could also use different sized straws (like boba straws, or coffee stirrer straws).
That's an easy thing to come by in bulk for cheap
Yes I agree
Oooo! Clear straws individually filled with different colored resins, then stacked in an alternating cross pattern with verticals in between. I can see it so clearly, but don’t know how to properly describe it.
Man I was worried about that string on your bracelet to get stuck in the band saw. Might wanna take that off next time buddy lol.
Happy days. Funny video, I liked the finish piece. It's definitely funky lol
Absolutely love the back to the future sleeve
Glad you repurposed it, I like the vase. I would’ve made it into a funky side table while it was in its rectangular resin cast, the foam being the base.
Aw, Nick! Nothing is ever a failure if you don't give up! I really like this vase, I even like the branches you put into it! Also, you NEVER fail to entertain! Loves!
It looks awesome, great save! 😃
Another nice Zametti save!
Looks Good Nick.😎
You should try using stabilizing resin in it. Maybe use colored resin that contrasts with the foam itself.
My 8 year old son said "Nick Zammeti is not a man to give up!!" before you switched gears- and he was right! Thank you for showing us that pushing through obstacles, having dedication and letting creativity flow is well worth it! You are a shining example for us 😃.
Aww this is the sweetest darn thing! Yer son brightened my day, thank you!
Haha bless him , say hi from me 🥰
We went to bed with our NZ woodturning/resin fix, and when he saw these comments when we woke up, he was floored - he is famous! Thank you both ❤
@@nickzammeti i agree with richy👍🏻 also nick can you cast lego in resin?🤔
@@brandonbean2748 he actually did a table of Lego in the past. Give a scroll through his videos you'll come across it 🙂
Quick tip from a factory worker: What you've got there is *closed cell foam.* Closed cell foams are rigid, because the cells are... closed.
*Open cell foams* are squishy. THEY would uptake resin, the same way they would uptake ANY liquid. So if you want to give a foam/resin project a bash: *open cell foam.*
Your idea is great 👍🏻 why didn't I read your response before I suggested sponges.
From: Mary Kimble 👸🏻
I would imagine that it would work best with a really thin resin and then pull a vacuum on it to pull the air out and hope that the resin fills the now empty cells.
@@JMcMillen Well, I'm not sure really, but as Blackguard said the foam is a closed-cell. Even wood is a form of open-cell material. It could absorb a bit of resin, but I doubt enough to accomplish anything as he had in mind.
Came here to make the same info dump. Lol. Maybe could make chunks of it in there but yeah.
👏👏👏👏
I would have loved to see the foam put through a wood mulcher then cast in resin. I think it would have been super psychedelic.

Hey Nick, don't know if anyone else mentioned it it or not but, foam has different characteristics. One being Foam comes open cell and closed cell type as an example. I think you used closed cell foam, that is why the resin would not penetrate the foam ? How ever I think if you use open cell foam the resin would penetrate the foam but, it might eat them foam up and dissolve the foam into the resin giving you a soup of color instead of foam blocks as intended ? would love to see you give a go again with that in mind. Thanks you for another great video !!! hope to see a follow up soon ?
When an idea doesn't work out you improvise and that's one of the things I love about you Nick. You are always thinking of the what ifs and even if it doesn't go as planned you're still proud that it turned into something.
THIS! ☝🏼
Ah Nick what a result... total victory from the jaws of defeat! Anyone else thinking more Fruit Pastille Ice Lolly rather than Liquorice Allsort...?!🍭🤔
Either way, loving the end result... you're a patient man Nick! And least you have screwdriver wall art too now 🤩
If you ever want to go again, we put all our offcuts of foam into a granulator so they can be easily be recycled... wonder how the granulations would go down in the resin?
-Jonathan
Haha thank you guys 🤪 glad you enjoyed it! Yessss let’s do it 🥳🥳
I’m a desaturated color user at heart, but I greatly enjoying watching other artists create with super bright colors. Always a joy to watch these projects :D
Have you thought of collecting your shavings sawdust and some real small twigs to turn them into a vase? Would the mixture of different woods create a pattern? Would the particles just float up to the top? Also a mixture of clear and very pale blue for pop
Hey yea I collect all my shavings . I’ll do a project in them soon x
@@nickzammeti maybe dye the shavings different colors? Ombré, yeah 😀. Please don’t say “fail!” You are an inspiration to everyone to change course when a challenge arises. 🤩
I save my resin scraps because I plan to put them through a blender or food processor later to reuse as 'glitter' in new projects with resin.
Hey nick, maybe try stabilizing the foam with cactus juice (a light resin used with a vacuum chamber) on each pad before putting it in a mold to use the regular resin. Just a idea if you wanted to try again.
I was gonna mention the same thing. I've seen Peter brown use it. But I wondering if he can get it in the uk?
gonna be hard to cook it in a toaster oven, since the melting point of the foam is relatively low due to Surface area, aswell as ot gonna be hard to fit in the vacuum chamber!
You could still use the slow hardening resin, but use the vacuum chamber method used with stabilizer to get the resin into the foam. No need to bake.
@@NixTheMouse what I was thinking was do it piece by piece then stack them up and cast them in epoxy. Obviously something that big wouldn't fit lol. I know it would be tedious but it could work. I'm thinking with the resin in it it would make it have a higher temp tolerance as all the air is replaced with stabilizer.
@@NixTheMouse you can use lower temp, just longer...it is a idea, didn't say it would be easy...lol, also the surface area would change due to the infusion of the cactus juice. And a vacuum bag might work instead of a chamber.
Cool idea for a project Nick. Have you thought about trying it with a sea sponge? They're really porous. Great video.
Ah no I’ll have to look into that 🤩
@@nickzammeti If you do try sea sponge + resin please use coloured pigments too! Sea sponge is somewhat bland in tone so I'd love to see what you come up with. Maybe ocean themed colours!
@@nickzammeti that would be so cool! Sea sponge is like the Burl wood of the ocean.
My sister is a sea sponge and she'd love to try it with you. Funny thing too, her name is Porous 🌸
@@Zenica204 one could always dye the sponges first and let them dry. Several tie-dyed sponges would make for an interesting project😉.
That's a closed cell non-absorbent type foam. Meaning it's made with bubbles that make up each of the tiny pockets. Since those bubbles are fully closed the resin can't seep into it. You need a more open cell type foam. Something more similar to a sponge so the resin can penetrate it.
Not another failure, another cool idea. Can't make an omelet without breaking any eggs....or how ever that goes. Your creativity is awesome. And personally, I'm loving the texture you got from the resin that peeled off.
Also, just got my makers central membership card! I crazy excited to get it. Already got the app. Now to have time to make stuff!
“And this is what your supposed to do with it” vs. “What I want to do”
Your ideas are always top mark! You can't win them all. So many ifs. If you'd done a test piece with the foam, if the foam had more absorbancy etc. But your adaptability is legendary. Never give up 💔👈😁👉💖
Of course the resin didn't penetrate. That's closed cell foam.
The vids when you “fail” are my favorite. You always manage to pull the project together and make something great! Big fan in Vegas
Love how you always take the most interesting odds and ends and make them into art. Personally I wouldn't want to use it for its intended purpose because the shape cutting seems very tedious lol. I don't think any of your 'failed' projects have ever really been failures because they still turn into something really cool! Great job, Nick! Keep doing and making what you love
I agree - the shape cutting looks like a dreadful job! I’m pretty sure I’d have multiple screwdrivers that either didn’t fit in or that fell out every time..
@@vee_tinymoose lol yep. Honestly i'd likely just stab them in 😂
😂
It is easiest to use with solid metal objects. Heat the object and drop it on to melt the recess. 🤔😉
Yeah that looks like closed cell foam that is similar to what is used in things like bodyboards so the resin won't get absorbed.
Would love to see this again if you found a foam that would absorb the resin 😁
I think it turned out brilliantly. Love the colours. You could use it as an umbrella stand. It does look like liquorice all sorts ♥️
Experimentation and trying new things is NEVER a failure, Nick. I was SO glad to see you didn’t give up!! It may not have been what you originally wanted but it turned out WAY COOL!!! And I loved seeing you so many techniques and tools for this one; definitely a cool process. I always love the wild ideas you have, keep ‘em coming!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖 I wonder if these would work better chopped up itty bitty and then put in resin like fat sprinkles? 😂😂
I genuinely hope you don’t get too down on yourself when stuff doesn’t work out the way you planned.
That is one very colourful Vase ... and a great save ! Oh I was waiting for the APP update .. I will need to do it through the playstore .. not that I know how lol too old for this tech. 🤣🤣
Nick, simply put. I love your channel, I love your sense of humor, determination and even the projects when they don't turn out the way you had originally hoped. Keep it up!
Thank you 😊
The texture of the resin that you pulled off the foam is really, really cool. You should see if there are any clay artists that would be interested in using those pieces for their own art. I have read articles about artists who take "molds" of any interesting textures they encounter, which they incorporate into their projects.
So, in addition to being an incredible artist yourself, you could also help other incredible artists with their art form.
Fail is a 4 letter word, Nick. It does NOT belong in your vocabulary, especially when referring to yourself. Maybe you should be like my cat when he does something crazy. He just picks himself up, and looks at me as if he is about to say, "I meant to do that."
Love the colors in this! You’ve done a good job shaping this into an organic useful piece. Always enjoy your projects. Looking forward to the next one 👍
I'd like to see what would happen if you compressed the foam with a lot of clamps or a hydraulic press and then poured resin so that the foam would draw it all in like squeezing a sponge.
There are no failure's only lessons! Kudos for keeping going n not giving up. Looks good dude
‘He who does nothing makes no mistakes; he who makes no mistakes learns nothing.’ - Luca Pacioli
Each time we fail we learn, a FAIL is a First Attempt In Learning, love the videos as always success or failure.👍
Love the final idea, very funky end project😊
You don't give yourself enough credit, Nick! No matter what happens you ALWAYS make something awesome out of the things that don't work the way you want them to. I actually quite like it! You did a good job rebounding as always! ♥️♥️
The top three pieces that didn’t quite get covered makes me think of a licorice all-sorts.
And of course you got there as well. ;) Figured you would.
On a more serious note, there are failures of course, but try calling them learning experiences instead. This isn’t what you intended but it’s a fun build to watch anyway. And now you (and we) know!
Looks like 'The Cat in the Hat's' hat, lol! It was fun, and we knew you'd make something useful of it. Thanx Nick!
Not quite what you planned, but still turned out fantastic!!!
I wonder if those foam balls I sent you would work better with the resin? 🤔
Put a bin bag around it? Sorta surprised you didn't just put a bin bag in it, you are going to scrap off several layers of material any way so its not like it sticking to the material matters much.
I knew that you would make a funky project, you could also use the offcuts to do something as well. Love your videos.
I love the app!!!! only been on it 10 mins and I'm so excited to share my first post! I don't know why I didn't download this sooner. I'm really looking forward to the step by step being added.
Great video as always ❤
It's never a failed project unless you give up. Changing the course is just adapting. I love that you never let "failure" bring you down if something doesn't work the way you meant it you figure out another way to do something with it. I admire that very much.
So my thoughts if Nick were to try again is to soak the squares individually in some resin and then stack them and do a big pour to connect them
Not surprised one this one. Its a foam that is total plastics. Felt would be a better idea. I really loved the project with the colored cloth made in to a bowl.
Yep I agree. Try doing the same but with colored sponges and a vacuum chamber.
If that foam is relatively cheap, perhaps you could use it to make all your future molds for resin projects
Yea that is closed cell foam you need to use open cell foam like you mentioned. Still entertaining to watch well done.
That is such neat piece of art work that you come up with loved watching your video as always
Lol this was a rolacoster ride and I loved the licorice alsort... lol hope you dident chuck it it was cute
Well done as always. Bravo 👏🏽
I think you need to put it in a vacuum chamber to draw out the air in the foam and then the resin would penetrate.
Try again with a smaller pice and use a vacuum to pull the air out of the cell foam.
The colours not being in rainbow order kills me
the feels
I really love how you show projects that don't always turn out as intended. With crafts and making, im always hard on myself when things don't go as planned. You're videos show that it's totally OK and you could repurpose it for something else! Its helped me so much. Thank you!
Anybody know the name of the song that played in the video?
Hey Nick! I don’t think I’ve ever seen you “fail”. You are the ultimate “When life gives you Lemons” guy! You just think on it a bit & before you know it your “failure” is repurposed into a smashing success!!!
You’re the absolute best Nick! If I hear anymore of this Failure nonsense coming out of your mouth, it’s going to be straight into Time Out for You!!💕
Never disappointed when I watch a new ep by Nick!
Came for Nick stayed for the music!!!
The only failure comes from not learning from one's mistakes! You gained knowledge, and that's a win in my book! Well done!
Thank you x
Pretty sure a vacuum would set that resin deep into those pores.
Umm??? That seemed like a waste of resin and foam
Always love watching your videos nick
This background music always reminds me of Eddie Murphys "Party All The Time" song lol.
Its the thing spongebob got cought watching
I was curious how the foam would come out of the pressure pot or a vacuum chamber, but the size of these pieces of foam put together wouldn't have allowed for that to be done unless there was a really large pressure pot or vacuum chamber to use even if it could have had an interesting result, which maybe that type of foam would not have, compared to more squishy spongey foams.
Wow, that was just one problem after another! Thanks for sticking with it and turning this into something pretty cool 😎
6:46 idk why but it reminded me of those liquorice sweets
14:53 okay it wasn’t just me seeing it😂
😮😮Eek, Nick! Your dangly bits hanging off your braided leather bracelet! and all your moving, spinning parts and tools! 😅😅14:00 “Licorice All Sorts!” Totally! I agree! I thot of that when they were square; that’s the shape i remember more that the round ones. Yummy!😊😊 ps: gotta confess i am sad- no Purple😢😢
NEED MORE WAFFLING LESS MUSIC 🙋♀️👍🏻💯😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do each layer of foam using the vacuum chamber......foam...resin... Vacuum chamber and repeat and repeat......and repeat 😂and don't forget to repeat again
The first thing I thought when I saw the black, yellow and pink foam combination, I thought… that looks like allsorts liquorishe! (If that’s how you spell it) and then you said it yourself. It might be a nice thing for a next project, to replicate the candy in a huge format. Or make a bowl with the allsorts cast in resin. Have a nice day, greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I Always Say It B.c Its True, 'This Can Still Be Salvaged' If You Put It Back In Resin After You've Shaped It I Think You Could Finish W. The Glossy Coating I Think You Want. This Is Still A Cool Science & Art Project! 🥰💯👍👨🏫👩🏫👨🔬👩🔬 ~ 1 Amor
OMG NIIIIICK!!!
Why I get all giddy like a school girl when I see your vids up I don't know but They do make my day hun.
You are adorable wrapped in funny, smothered in zany with a "What's he gonna do next sprinkles!"
Big ole Granny hugs to ya hun from Ohio USA!🤗🤗
Stay Groovy✌~N~💖
Waffle on my friend!
it's foam....its not meant to absorb liquids. you should try using a SPONGE...sponges are an absorbent material...go make that licorice tower vase.
that's what I like about your channel, Nick, you're like Bob Ross, you don't make mistakes, you have happy accidents. I've never seen you "fail" at a project, just take it in a different direction.
sorry it didn't work out! It is, unfortunately, a "closed cell" foam, (a sponge is an "open cell" foam) so in order to have ANY chance of working you'd have to use the slowest epoxy you've got and a vacuum chamber run to full vacuum and released in pulses to try and brute force the resin into the foam... and I'd still only give that a 15-20% chance of success...
Idea 1: take the epoxy "skins" and layer thin, metallic colored epoxy on to just fill the grooves and highlight the pattern, then back fill that with a 3rd color of epoxy.
Idea 2: foam chips. just mangle the foam into little chunks that will be suspended in resin, making sure that 60%+ by volume is resin. This one couldn't be turned so you'd want to mold the object you want.
Keep on it!
Nick make a butter churn, because what’re I’m from. Because of all chemicals preservatives that the government are allowing them to do.
Could you make a butter churn and add your personal touch to it. I would buy it from you.
Thank you, plus I really did love the vase.
🌺🤗🌸❤️🌺🤗🙏🏼🌸❤️
Was just thinking, bassets licorice allsorts them you said it, great minds think alike ( as my mom said fools never differ)🤣👍🏻🤣🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Thanks for not giving up
Hey Nick, thanks for the "wrap it in a bin bag" advice............I did it to my boxer shorts and VOILA no more embarrassing leaks!
I love your "failed" projects, Nick! Please do NOT underestimate the importance of letting people know what DOESN'T work!
Nick.. this is awesome. I never knew you were Jamiroquai's hatmaker 🧐
He will be happy you made this for him 😉
Was nice to watch again though. Not all our projects turn out perfect. And I think it's good to show that as well.
I have a vase filled with resin (will air on my TH-cam channel tonight) but, eventually it leaked. But I saw that after editing the video. Luckily for me it stayed on the silicone mat.
Hmm closed cell foam not so good for this. Open cell however could do.....and maybe vac chamber. Yes I know ....small....but it might work.
Nick my friend, I have loved everything you make, didn't think it possible you could make something I did not like. Please don't be offended, you are an AMAZING artist. I just don't care for this one.
The original project may have failed but you, Nick, have not. Once again you have shown us how to adapt and overcome instead of give up. Wonderful mistake, THANKS!
Hey Nick! When you're given lemons...make lemonade! LOL And ya did...you rocked it! Big ((Hugs)) from Texas! xx : )
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. You've gotta be busy. Good luck taking down Homelander. Them dang sup's are out of control. Give my best to Hughie, Frenchie, MM, and Kimiko! 👍
GREAT VASE BUT WASTE NOT , WHAT NOT! I LIKE IT , BECAUSE IT IS QUIRKY AND I LOVE ALL YOUR PROJECT'S! I THINK COLOURFUL SILK FLOWER'S WOULD LOOK NICE IN THE VASE. I LOVE IT VERY MUCH! ANYWAY, I THINK YOUR PROJECTS ARE GREAT AND ENJOY EVERYTHING.
I’m just guessing here,, but isn’t there a difference in the type of pressure pots, would this work if you used the type they use to stabilise wood? Like how they make those colourful wood burl knife scale blanks??? If it can penetrate wood, must be able to get through that foam?? Surely
When you put the block on the table before putting it on the lathe, my first thought was- "LIQUORICE ALLSORT!!"
To make this foam project work, you would need a vacuum chamber. After each pour, vacuum until bubbles stop. I believe it could be awesome. I always enjoy observing your creative expression.
I'll have the Allsort please. If nothing else you always entertain Nick.
I have a question for you, I just Googled which hand to wear wedding ring and the UK people say the left hand, US, left hand, other places right hand. You are wearing a ring on your right hand that looks like a wedding band???
What material and thickness are you using to create your mold? I just bought plexiglass and it was clear… tried to cut it 5 x and it kept cracking. UUGG 🤦🏼♀️
What, if you try to use cactus juice? Put this foam in a vacuum chamber, after this, in the oven. Perhaps this should work.
Excuse my not so good English, I'm from Germany.
Do another project just like this one, but use open-cell (squishy) foam next time. I would also enjoy seeing a project made using resin and styrofoam.
Very nice vase, Nick! Always enjoy these projects. Cheers!
Just a thought... how about soaking each pad individually in resin and drop it into a vacuum chamber to help it absorb the resin? Maybe it could be turned, then?
Nick….this is made from the same material as pool noodles, which are dense foam and waterproof. The foam cells don’t allow anything in, which is the point. But, have you tried packing peanuts? They’re made of styrofoam, which isn’t as dense.
Nick, I think your first idea could have worked for this one. What was blocking the resin from penetrating was Air that was 'trapped' inside the foam. What you needed to do was get it out using the pressure pot while the foam was submerged fully in resin. So put both slow set resin and foam in the pressure pot, and then suck out the air as normal. Once you take the seal back off the pot, the resin will rush in (be 'pushed' into) the foam. Maybe do a couple times like that to make sure you got 100% penetration and that should do it. You could try some small washing up sponges at first as a simple test to see how it fairs, but it should work.... Nice project either way though, don't get me wrong!! :)
Hay Nick, been following you for a while now and I got to say, keep on spinning .... Insert clip of Murdock hanging on a rotor blade .... I was wondering if you drilled some holes into the shadowfoam before stacking them then they should allow the resin to act like internal support. Could work, could not, but it might be a fun experiment. Then while you're at it, stack them at an angle, I did this on a recent project using plywood and the pattern looks amazing. I even went a step further and stacked it up, cut it length wise, turned the parts around and reglued it, worked even better. I just downloaded the makers central app and I'll add the projects there if you want to have a look. Cheers, stay funckadelic!
