I think the original wax shavings could be really fun, especially if you coated them in something like mica powder, I think they might leave behind little trails as they melted.
That would be real cool
I used to do wax hands for events. Your issue was you weren't letting the wax cool and set properly, and then you were also not getting it dry enough when redipping it in wax. The knobby texture is from moisture, and the mushiness of the wax is from both that and not leaving it in cold water long enough.
I thought that was the issue. I am glad someone with actual experience said it as well.
Your videos are helping my brother with anxiety and panic attacks. Our family nights have been a bit affected recently as he's been suffering from phantom symptoms that are just manifestations of his anxiety, which then puts him into panic. However while we are playing boardgames, I started putting your videos on in the background on the TV - not only is the family enjoying your creations, the chilled vibe has massively helped my brother to the point that as soon as we arrive, he asks if I can "put the resin guy on". So thanks! Lamps seem to be the favourite items amongst my family 😃.
My pleasure mate I’m glad I can help, Take Care
I suffer from panic attacks as well. This is one of my "Go To" channels when I feel one coming on. The others are BigStackD and Bob Ross. TY...your vids really help.
I don’t even know you guys but I genuinely hope you all get through this. My son and I love Bens channel and there’s always something new he’s willing to try, even if it fails. The fact that he shows us the final product, even if it doesn’t look like the way he wanted it too gives my son the confidence to try different things. Thanks all.
Very fun video! I was surprised that you didn't do a silicone cast and fill that with wax. But hey, I still learned something new!
Before watching the video, I think it's gonna be a bubbly mess.
I watched the melting process twice because it was so interesting. Would have love a closer view of the final product. I really wanted to see if the wax left empty space behind and I was hoping there would be a shape of your finger left in the resin. Such a cool experiment!
If you ever think of revisiting this experiment, I would suggest making a mold of your finger similar to what you did with the Oreo. And crayons would work wonders since they are already colored.
No matter what, thinks as always for such a wonderful and interesting video. You never fail to entertain.
You have the most friendly, relaxing, voice I've ever heard.
Hi Ben. If you like to expand on wax and resin projects, I'll share an idea. Those dye chips that melt on clear wax might result in even more interesting outcomes if you can manage to first make a hollow resin egg, cut it in half, then carefully add the wax shavings and a few colored ones in. Once you have both halves of the egg filled with your wax pattern, seal everything together and then secure the egg in a container before finally pouring the resin for turning. I think the heat should still penetrate and mix the wax into something pretty!
Btw, keep up the good work, your art and presentations are so cathartic!
Thanks 😊👍
As someone that works with wax often, I’m excited to see how this turns out!!!
what a good role model tbh for having a monitor for dangerous fumes, so smart and important
When you mentioned making wax finger I was thinking silicone mold of finger then fill the mold with wax to produce finger made of wax. I’d be curious how wax would act if it was completely covered with uv resin then had resting poured around it. If it melted it would be hard to tell as it would fill the void, but if the wax was hollowed out and sealed before being covered in uv resin it would be easier to tell it melted. Great video I enjoyed watching the wax melt.
Put 1 cup of rice in a resealable plastic bag.
Add 1/2 tsp. of vinegar/ water and a bit of the icing gel or food colouring. ...
Seal the bag and shake well.
Spread the coloured rice out on a baking tray to dry overnight.
Repeat with other colours.
Would love to see in resin
Oh that would be awesome in pastel colors and then turn it to get it egg shape for Easter. ❤
That was cool. The end product turned out neat. An art deco piece. 😊
Thanks Mel 😊
I’ve been wondering what would happen when hot resin meets silica (you know, the stuffing in those little packets, that one shouldn’t eat, that can be found in a new box of shoes (or such) to keep moisture from accumulating)? I mean, the resin heating up creates steam, yet the silica negate moisture. So what would happen?
(Rapid tapping) "Well that's easier said than done." I lol'd. Thank you!
That was delightful!
You laughing at the hand wax was exactly when I started laughing at it.
Thanks for the mid week video!
Interesting how the wax melted showing how the heat builds up from the curing resin. Loved it 👍
Very cool to watch it melt! Didnt expect it to melt so quickly!
NGL the part in the beginning with the hands in the wax was some good ASMR.
I'm loving these bonus videos!
That looked really cool when the wax was melting!
What a great experiment. I loved pot cam.
Thankyou 😊
Thus was so,cool! Ty for the bonus vid !
That was brilliant to watch. I love these little experiments.💜
Thankyou
@@BensWorx Yw.💜
So worth the time! It opens up all kinds of new possibilities. Thank you 🦋
Laughed so much at the wax hand, cool experiment, really enjoyed that. The drama music and pot cam 😂👍Thank you.
I normally enjoy the final product more than I enjoy potcam, but goddamn this was a banger of a potcam
A+ content! Love the clean pressure pot!
I love the potcam! It really sets your channel up as different from the rest.
I'd like to see another paintball episode but with one paintball mounted to the center. Perhaps two versions of the same experiment; one with a solid paintball and another with a few pinholes punched into the paintball to see if the paint bleeds out into the resin during the pressure pot stage.
Thanks for another fascinating video Ben!!! Was so stoked to see an extra one this week 💛🙌
Thanks Sas 😊
Quite surprised and impressed that you added the safety instructions when working with the stove! Might be sth. everyone should know, but thanks for making sure!
It was fun watching it melt!
It's a great day Boston Bruins playing tonight and Ben posting a great video to relax to so I don't keep yelling at the TV, love the videos brother. Much love and respect from New York!
Pretty cool Ben love your experiments
Got my pendant last week I really love it. I am so happy to finally have something you created. 💖💖💖
Thanks Connie, I really appreciate your support 😊
A silicon cast of your finger then filled with resin to make a finger positive would be cool. You could then paint the finger with melted wax to build up a uniform and thick layer. Mount the finger on a base and fill with resin. We could then see your finger pointing to the void left when the wax melts. I am picturing Michelangelo's Creation of Adam style finger pointing. The evolution of the fingers holding an Oreo.
I love these experimental videos.
Love every upload, as many as you'd like to do, I'm here for!
I wonder what mixing in the wax flakes right at the point of setting would do. Like add them in right as its about to solidify. It would also be cool to try and remelt the wax out and puta a new resin color in. That way you get actual layered colors instead of swirled mixed colors. Very interesting idea all around mate! Great vid as always!
Idea! Two clear resin bowls nested together with cubes of different colour waxes between them. Fill with clear resin.
Don’t want to amiss any video you make. This one was so interesting
so cool to see the pot cam this time, the wax just melted so easily but the end result is awesome! i think it could be a really cool egg.
Thank you for the safety reminders 🥰
It was very interesting, I enjoyed watching what happened to the wax! Thanks for the great videos!
Best wax melting device - a $20 rice cooker from Target, even cheaper when on special. I have had mine for years and it's literally done hundreds of Kg of wax
its 3 am here and i could watch this guy to sleep i wish if his videos were a bit over 20 minutes but even so they are lovely
keep going brother i love your content i'v been here since 90k
Really enjoyed the video. There are some great suggestions for doing it a little different. The silicon mould of your finger and filling that with wax is a great one. And using wax crayons is another because you have different colours. How about a thick candle? Would it last longer?
Thanks to the person who suggested this experiment.
Interesting experiment. I loved the pot cam. Good job Ben. This is a fun video. 🙃
I'm glad it melted AWESOME Video Ben worx hope you are all well and looking forward to your next video which might include an orange thank you for the bonus video Ben worx
That was kind of cool! Can't wait to see what you make out of it.
I think this was an excellent idea. I would like to see you dye a few batches of different colored wax and then break them down into larger chunks and mix them into a clear or a blue resin!
Hey Ben
Thanks, pretty cool outcome.
Take care
That combo has some great gelatinous cube potential.
Love the vid ben
Can’t wait to see what you do with this next!
The potcam definitely showed the lava lamp effect but seeing the final product, this might work for a lava lamp itself. I'd suggest melting down crayons (as someone else suggested since they are already colored), form them into spheres in an ice cube tray or something, and then putting them in the resin. Maybe if you get a big container and enough of them, you could make yourself an actual lava lamp with what is leftover inside the resin as hopefully the wax would stay separated enough to keep the colors.
Very cool experiment! Might be time for another filling in the void left behind video 🙂
Thanks Mate, yeah I think so
You can make it more flexible and elastic if you add Elmers glue to the wax when it’s melting. That or you can buy brewers wax which typically has an elastic property built in, specifically for adding wax to the tops of bottles. If the wax isn’t elastic it will chip away easily and it with be difficult to open without getting wax in the beer itself.
Love your videos by the way!
Neat idea! What an interesting experiment!
Interesting use of the “lost wax” method. 😜 it did indeed have a unique result. Looking forward to the next video.
Holy hot wax Batman - that was epic as mate.
And yes, more vids please, beginning, midway and end of week please 😆
So happy you dusted the lid off 😂
i used to dip stuff in wax all time as a mudgremlin, i dunno why.....id just sit there watching the flames die out, the melting of the wax really helped calm me :) x
I love your experiment videos!
Oooo!! I’ve been hoping you’d try this!!
Awesome video it was like a magic trick watching the wax vanish I wonder what butter would do or peanut butter or ice cream
Burning the wax off.. that part was soo satisfying 😊
11:05 Oh my....you know you can melt that wax with warm water, right? 😲 😂❤
Just a tip with the wax I drip the wax from a candle 30 cm above gets a good coat
The potcam was awesome.. it looks cool.
Whoa! That was awesome!!
Thanks Lynn 😊
How about making some fountain pens to sell on your Etsy store? There's kits available for the hardware, so you'd have to make the resin blocks and turn them on the lathe. I'd be really interested to see what you come up with!
Even before watching I fully expected the wax to melt and float to the top and escape the resin due to its low melting point. Still cool to see the little bit that did get trapped.
Was super interesting. Perhaps you could raid various household draws and see what you can use to tint/colour the resin
That was a fun experiment ... Thank you for sharing 🙃
Awesome Ben! Man if you poured colourful resin into that and then made an egg or something it would look even cooler! Love the experiment ones too mate 🤘
That was pretty neat, Ben!
You should look up Peter brown ! His dye trying series is really good ! You two are my favorite resin channels
Looking at the wax, there is one column that looks like a crazy alien with eyes, crazy hair and raised arm with malformed hand. Pretty cool
You never know until you try it. Thanks 😊
I just paused the video...yes, I think it will definitely melt, we'll see. Woop, woop, it melted! That was an interesting experiment.
Aw, I'm a little disappointed you didn't sand this one down and polish it up, I think the inside looks really cool... Thank you for sharing!
Maybe make a coloured finger in a silicone mould first then put that in clear resin. Bonus video approved
That was awesome was kind of expecting that the wax was going to melt but wasn’t totally sure what was going to happen though
When melting the wax it’s a bit like ‘home cooking with Ben’s Worx’ 😂
It did look cool. Once you melted the wax on the outside I was really hoping you would make something with it.
It's weird I was just asking myself last night if wax would melt if put in resin and now I know, thank you.
Wonder if we’d get the same results with something more thick like a candle?
Awesome video!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Another great experiment. I have a suggestion for you, what happens when you put resin in a cup then let it cure while spinning on the lathe? Would I coat it evenly and smoothly? What happens when you change the speed of the lathe to something real slow? Will it be gloopy? Then if it creates a layer you can add other colors and it would be like a gobstopper that changes color as you turn it.
Thanks Aaron! I’ll give it a go 👍
Multiple different colors of crayons would look really cool for this experiment
Melted wax floats towards the surface of water. fill a alum pie pan with melted wax and push it straight down into a garbage can full of water quickly. makes some unique candles.
Hello Ben,
can you please do a work shop tour video and show us all the different tools and gear you have. please
Interesting. I was expecting a casting of your finger and then pouring wax into the casting, not dipping your finger into the wax to make a finger-sleeve. That finger-sleeve was thin, so it is obvious it would melt, although faster than I thought it would. Now, I am curious about a "small" ball of wax, a wax replica finger, and the traditional candle with an LED light for the wick.
Great idea indeed!
That was awesome! Keep em coming Ben!!🐾💚🐾
That was crazy cool if only I knew anything about resin when I was real young playing with wax was one of my biggest hobbies meltdown a lot of different types of Wax mostly crayons and candles. My favorite part of the video is when the wax is melting and just suddenly disappeared but what was left inside the resin from the wax was really cool
Awesome potcam!!
Hey Ben, you should name that finger mould ...John Merrick! 😜👍🇬🇧
I have to say that was one of the coolest looking ones you've done in a long time and I love all the ones you do but this was really cool.
That’s a lot of wax! Do you or your wife make candles? I love candle making. Watching the wax melt was pretty awesome. Thanks for giving us a bonus video this week!!
