Might be easier if you glue some string to one end of the rod before removing it, so removing it drags the string through. You can then affix the string to the LED strip, and pull that through, eliminating any pushing.
Great video. I want to do something like this on a smaller scale for my Train layout. I want to put a single led inside a tiny plastic bubble attached to a plastic straw which will go through multiple layers of form. It comes up at the bottom of a little lake. Epoxy will fill the lake over the light. Worried the LED 12 volt light will get too hot inside the little tube. Do you think this will work?
Thanks for the good tips. I'm going to do a border of inlaid LED's in epoxy in a small bathroom at the end of the month. Do you have any recommendations for doing something with corners? So far the best plan I have come up with is to use hot glue and glue down a flexible piece of tubing, with a wire/string pre-inserted before bending and gluing down, so can attach LED's and pull through afterwards. Then proceed with epoxy in layers once dried and LED is pulled through. However if there are better ways of doing it, I'm all ears! Cheers
Hi Michael, the corners may be difficult to accomplish with the tubing unless you cut it with a 45 degree angle and seal the cut for each corner. If you don’t mind a slight bend at each corner instead of a sharp 45, it will work fine. Your plan sounds great to me! Thanks for watching!
Could also coat the rod in Sheathing tape(Tuck Tape) and mold release then cover it with the epoxy. The epoxy forms around it and once dry the rod just slides out with no use of the rubber tubing.
In all it’s a great idea, , couldn’t figure out at the end if the camera was set up bad because in the dark I really didn’t see much other than blurred fuzzy background of finished product.
Hi there, how would you add LED’s to an epoxy table AFTER its finished? Our floors are very dark. So our beautiful table has blue rivers that almost look black and opaque because of the dark floor, I’m assuming having some lighting underneath would greatly enhance the color?
The clear plastic tube should stay in the resin. If you want to remove it (for future projects), use a release agent such as Vaseline or furniture wax on the outside. The clear tube should be invisible since it is clear.
Petg tubing for water cooling computers would be best in my opinion. It won't turn yellow like nylon or vinyl tube will especially from the heat and uv from lighting plus it's rigid. Next best thing to glass.
This will work for curves as well depending on the sharpness of the curve. The rod I used will bend. You just may need to find a way to secure it in place.
Thanks for the video! I am a lighting designer and I am new to resin materials. I want to ask, is pigmented resin always can diffuse lights from the inside? Is there any technique/case that the color pigment is blocking the lights instead? (Just to make sure i am not choosing the wrong color or technique). Thank you in advance!
Hey Putri, you can buy specific pigment mixes that will allow more light to pass through. They are normally labelled as transparent or translucent. Hope this helps!
Does this actually work, because I am thinking about doing this. But a little worried that the rod aspect wont work. As in not being able to pull the rod out, because of the density of the resin.
YEAH, BUT...Do i need to encase MONSTER MLB7'S Flexible RGB....theyre already in a thick, squishy coating. My river table underside looks crazy right now already! 🤷♂️✌

Thank you for watching!
Would replacement of LED be possible?

The way to put the leds is great, but the beads and purple resin just doesn’t do it for me.
If you live in New Orleans, the colors and beads work perfectly. :)
Thanks for watching!
@@PahjoDesigns mardi gras.. A fine table to get drunk under indeed
That's some Mardi Gras colors right there. Love it.
Yessir, it definitely is!
Much Gratitude and Appreciation
Love this technique, thank you!
You are very welcome!
Great video, just wanted to ask about battery, battery case and a switch, that you used. Thank you much. Amazing video.
Never would have thought of that, so cool!!
Thank you! It works really well.
You are genius, thank you 😊
Nice trick

I love how you put the beads in it
Thank you, Mattie!
Just the thing I always wanted to know. Tq.
Can you make the LEDS light up in a sequence or do they have to just all be ON or OFF?
Beautiful
Thanks so much!
Very nice
My plastic tube is really stuck in the resin. Any tips on how to remove it? 🤨
The clear plastic tube should stay in the resin. If you want to remove it (for future projects), use a release agent such as Vaseline or furniture wax on the outside. The clear tube should be invisible since it is clear.
You need to saw the edges off. Like he does in the video. That will expose both sides of the tubing allowing you to remove it
Petg tubing for water cooling computers would be best in my opinion. It won't turn yellow like nylon or vinyl tube will especially from the heat and uv from lighting plus it's rigid. Next best thing to glass.
John Alexander that’s a great suggestion. I may try that next time. Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Why does it matter? The tube is removed.
My mistake. The tube is left in. Sorry
What did you use to seal the bottom of the live edge?
Jeff Hamel - silicone
I have a curved piece of root any suggestions with the curve?
This will work for curves as well depending on the sharpness of the curve. The rod I used will bend. You just may need to find a way to secure it in place.

The rod site within a clear plastic tube. The rod is solely there to retain the shape of the plastic tube.
Can u just pout resin over the led lights permanently
nice video
Did you coat the tube with something to stop the resin sticking to it?
No, the resin is supposed to adhere to the tube. The tube protects the rod inside the tube.
Hello, if I put the led inside the hose and do the resin hardening process with it there will it spoil?
You need to fill the hose with something rigid to keep the shape during the resin hardening process.
@@PahjoDesigns why ? If the LEDs were in the tube could you not follow Contours of the river
xboxedredfish you wouldn’t be able to remove the led lights. the epoxy is heavy and would compress the tube.
Good light idea but the overall project isn’t great.
YEAH, BUT...Do i need to encase MONSTER MLB7'S Flexible RGB....theyre already in a thick, squishy coating. My river table underside looks crazy right now already! 🤷♂️✌
No need to encase if it’s already coated and sealed.
Бля мужик ты гений !!! Это просто крутая задумка ... молодец !!!
I would be concerned with heat dissipation and therefore lifespan of those LEDs.
probably why he made them easy to remove
Bingo! ;)
LOL. They make LED lights that are waterproof. DOH#$@%!!
That’s nice to know. But, how do you replace them in the future after covering them in resin?
@Tom S quit buying the cheap Chinese
lights and you won't have that problem.

No good
That was a shit climax
Some ideas just fail don't they.
