The fear I feel with him only using latex gloves while breaking GLASS 😂

But it looks really interesting now. The rose looks so ghostly dead and with the shattered glass it makes it so cool and dead looking

It's unintentionally poetic (in a pessimistic melodramatic way)... "The fragile state of love, how it decays in your hands, bruised, shattered and crumbling, never to be the same again, never to be something one wants to remember..."

The rose as it is now would look so good in a haunted house. The fading and the cracks give it so much cursed character.

honestly, I think a little more heat and an ICE WATER bucket would finish the job nicely.

Dead ass the end product genuinely looks better than before … a ghost rose in shattered glass is such a nice aesthetic.

So glass in any shape other than a flat plane, aka window or flat sheet, is actually really strong because of its crystalline structure. I think Evan was on the right track with the thermal shock but did not have enough of a difference between the hot and cold extremes and fast enough to get a good reaction. I say keep going and take all the glass off at this point.

Honestly it looks really cool. Almost like a "what if" version of the rose if the Beast's curse was never broken

Evan, get cut-resistant gloves my dude. You can put latex over those if you need them for grip Thanks for the update though!

The sound of the glass cracking 😂 It was like a baby bird was hatching

Ok, if it wasn't for it being a hazard i believe the cracked one looks more aesthetically pleasing. It adds lore to it

Now its a even more avant garde art piece about the outside world trying to break the peaceful beauty of a rose (and the secret rot within)

Okay, messing with glass with the wrong gloves aside, the entire thing looks so much cooler than before! Like others have said, it's poetic now. Like, love can hurt you of you don't take care. Beautiful and possibly haunting.

This was a great episode, and so relatable! I feel like I'd be like Evan, trying everything. Just so you know, the reason the glass didn't respond to the car tool is because it isn't tempered like car windows (or safety glass).

Katelyn popping up in front of the camera and confusingly looking between it and Evan “are we filming again” is so hilarious

I'm just gonna say, I loved the look of the "after" version of the rose display. It looks like it matches the rose better like some alternate darker version of beauty and the beast that would be interesting to see.

though it seemed like a failure, i think the final result made it more beautiful and magical looking

I think a silicone mould made using a glass dome, and some of those flower drying beads next time

Honestly, I think the rose looks even cooler now The dark frosty looking rose in a shatterd case🥀 It's eerie and elegant at the same time Definetly something I would use as halloween decoration

It’s poetic, you know? It represents the fragile nature of the flower but the resilience of its beauty

Katelyn's little hand movement when Evan said "It wasn't our fault.". Evan's happy dance with the heat gun. 😂This is why I love their videos. I'm a bit sad they didn't fully "peel" the rose, but I agree with the other commenters that the "ruined" version is a vibe. 🌹🖤

Okay, but it looks *epic* too at the end- like the way it catches the light and adds to the effect of the ghostly rose?!

it’s like the beast tried to break the rose case !!

what a absolute rollercoster of chaos 😂 RIP Mr resin rose 🌹

Ghost rose! That end picture with it all faded and little cracks running over it was so cool!!!

tbf the broken glass kinda look does something... kinda cool....

Ngl it looks really cool all broken up like that! Gives it more ghosty vibes

Love how quickly they forgot about the cardboard box and started tearing glass chucks directly on the table

They actually used to make resin molds from glass that you would break after it finished curing. I believe Peter Brown made a video with some.

This reminds me of Peter Brown's video where he's trying to remove the glass mold from the resin project 😅

"are we filming again?" 😂

It’s like a testament to to love it’s self no matter the hard times which try to cop away and seem to crack on the surface the core of love will still stand the test of time with only minor surface wounds like the scars that show the hard times but also show how you healed

There is something poetic about how it went from a pristine looking fresh rose into an aged rose in a shattered and weathered preservation.

I kind of love the after! It’s like it was abandoned

I didn’t expect a clips video upload of this but I’m sure glad I’m subscribed to all your channels 😂😂 I never know what’s gonna pop up! What a cool ending to that rose’s journey.

Adding to the poetic interpretations: If you try so hard to get at something precious you were preserving, you may break it and harm yourself in the process

The glass removal kinda gave it like a dark/horror spin though and I’m here for it. Looks much more like something from a curse now 😯

glass strongly resists being squeezed together but is weak to being pulled apart. For that reason the "strong" version of glass is the one that has large particles of other materials that basically presqueeze everything, so that when pulled it's getting in a half-squeezed state. But either way, this glass is definitely not the strengthened like that. So to break it you want it to be pulled apart. Heating method totally works for that.

It looks very cool when you have the light on. It’s like crystals all over it. 😊

the after looks like an artifact that you will find in a horror game

Honestly, I love the 'after' - it looks ethereal and like it's frozen in magic or ice.

The little glass crunchy noises in the music at the end 😆

Absolutely love how supportive katelyn is at the end

So many channels just put stuff in resin and then never give you an update. You are different. Thank you for that ❤

Hard boiled egg is def the best analogy

The glass breaker is meant for tempered glass! Tempered glass is excellent against most types of applied pressure, such as a soccer ball hitting it. However under direct application of pressure on a precise tip, it will essentially crumble into tiny harmless pieces. It doesn't work much better than other types of tools for shattering regular glass!

im surprised you guys didnt make a silicone mold of the glass instead of filling the glass!

Look into the "plastination" process. There is a lot of literature about turning organic tissue into preserved specimens with resin or silicone. Mostly its about animal tissue but it would be really cool to see something like that with plant material!

Bent glass is really hard to break from the outside of the bend. Thats why we make windshields that way. But inside pressure cracks it easily.

Drying roses is super easy if you hang them upside down in a window then you could use that. Red roses turn a beautiful dark color, pink turns pale, and yellow turns light brown. Putting a dry rose in the resin would probably work but it is also very fragile so idk.

it's almost better now lol. the cracks and the chips of glass missing adds character. it's perfect

It looks so MOODY now and I LOVE IT

When Evan applied the heat I remembered a Time Team where they were duplicating a stained glass piece using historical methods and one of them was to use direct heat on one point, like from a soldering iron, to cut the glass because it cracks it cleanly. Heat + cracked glass = so cool

It has a forbidden cursed artifact vibe now😂

It's kinda... nice to see this video, as someone who feels like most of their arts n crafts don't go as well as they'd like, or often just completly fail. I've watched your videos for ages and it feels weirdly encouraging to see you fail. As in: You make such cool stuff often, but sometimes stuff just... doesn't work out.

Why are you so resilient to our efforts 😂😂😂😂 my new favorite line

Use silica gel to dry out the rose or any living type thing first

Honestly the after is really cool and haunting.

The way the rose once again has thorns 🤣🤣 glass thorns

The rose looks like it has so much of a traumatic background now I think it’s really cool

I have never been more happy to see broken glass… this is my life now 😂

In all honesty it just somehow adds to it just even more Props to you do you Guys

What about using the roses used for Forever Roses? They are said to last a year, it would be interesting to see if they are different from regular roses in their reaction to resin. You can also try dried roses as another test. Having little to no water in them, might also be another reaction to try. Good luck with your next vid!

Honestly? I love the broken down look at the end! Thanks for the update

It looks like a Rose of War now! So cool!

I think preserving the rose in glycerin before putting it in resin would help keep the color and save it from rotting too

I think a better way to use heat and cold is to put the rose into the freezer overnight and then put it right into very hot water

I saw Peter Brown's video that showed that there actually used to be glass molds for resin.

I would love to see you guys recreate this with a dried rose, because it was gorgeous. Reuse the base.

Alternate universe in which Beast never gets Beauty...

why do i love it more now 😭 it looks so pretty and mysterious

Actually the after image results look kinda cool, like if you were to use it in some kinda creepy story way. The way beauty and the beast the flower slowly died, but also the glass cracked the whole thing went to hell and stuff. Or like Mr. Freeze and the ballarina he kept that reminded him of his wife and how it shattered when he was defeated.

Arguably I think it look so much more unique and also somewhat antique

I think the shatterd glass is a super cool edition to the piece! The hole punches though...? Maybe not as much

This was oddly satisfying to watch, I’m so glad you filmed it! Now I think we need some resin experimentation in glass vessels 😱love you two, never stop being yourselves 🧡🖤🧡

The after looks like the Beast tried to get to the rose

when you make another rose…you should design whatever shape you want and 3D print it, make a silicone mold of that, and then pour resin into in with the rose. So you can just omit dealing with glass altogether. Unless that was part of the appeal of the project? I can’t recall right now😬 Love you both!

Okay, I actually REALLY love the way it looks now!!!

Before: a steampunk version of Beast's rose. after: a post apocalyptic version of Beast's rose. 😂

You could try painting the resin into the rose petals before pouring to make sure there isn't any bubbles trapped

Katelyn popping up like “are we filming again?” 😂

Trying to break glass in your hand is like Darwin Olympics

The shattered version actually looks really cool! It adds to the eerieness? hauntedness feel to it

It honestly still looks so good it’s just a different style

I used to take apart glass fuses and fill them with resin mixed with glow powder and sometimes fine glitter, as jewelry. I discovered that the resin would shrink slightly, pulling away from the glass and leaving an incredibly thing gap (air? vacuum?) that would create a reflective region due to the different index of refraction. Anyhow, this happens because the resin gets warm as it sets, causing it to expand. Because it expands _before_ setting, it can expand into the available space, filling it all before it sets. Then it shrinks as it cools. Anyhow, I don't do resin in glass much anymore because of this. I always figured that if it got hot enough it would expand enough to crack the glass (which is part of the reason I don't do fuse jewelry anymore, as body heat might be enough to crack it and make it dangerous to wear). A plastic dome might work better, especially if you rough up the inside a bit. Oh, also, I notice a lot of organic things get that reflective/frosted layer when putting them in resin. I wonder if you could minimize that by putting the setup in a vacuum chamber to pull the air out of things like microscopic hairs that many organic things have, and do the pressure pot, to ensure that the resin penetrates as deeply as possible. I've noticed a _lot_ of people who do resin have stopped using vacuum chambers in favor of pressure pots, but with the pressure pot the air bubbles are still there. In places where there are a _lot_ of bubbles, shrinking them with pressure might make the individual bubbles too small to see, but if there are enough in a small area, they will still refract and reflect light enough to give a foggy, silvery look. Doing vacuum chamber first should get rid of enough of them to prevent this. This might not work with organics though, as they contain moisture that the vacuum chamber will try to expand and evaporate. But you don't know unless you try!

This reminds me of the ancient technics used to break gigant boulders in half by hammering metal spikes in the middle

i think you guys should revisit this project with what you've now learned, as well as using a dried rose in order to prevent the grossness of the fresh one! you can easily dry a rose by hanging it up upside down in a dark closet for a few weeks!

Car-glass crackers work because Tempered Glass used in windshields and car-windows etc is incredibly hard and under a lot of internal pressure, stopping it from breaking and causing it to shatter into those tiny, diamond-like crystals when broken. The super-hard tip of a file, a piece of ceramic compound (like found on spark pluggs) and the carbide-tips on hole punches and car-glass breakers will manage to nick the glass, causing it to explode, whereas smacking it with a hammer might just have the hammer bouncing off. Pane- or sheet- glass like you've got there is a different beast, easily broken if deformed, but it's difficult to deform a sphere, and a small point won't really DO anything to it, you just want more smashing power and preferably to crack it from the inside out, since it's more difficult to break a dome from the outside.

You can dry your flowers in rice or silica gel. The resin will not have anything go wrong with it, and your flower will never rot. After you lightly pull out the flower of the rice or slice gel, you can choose to also very lightly spray it with hair spray, or a spray glue, then dry, to keep the petals in place, as you poor the resin over it. Wood turners use this method often. Just be careful because the flower will be fragile, and if you poor too quickly, you can also risk bubbles.

Ngl both the before and after videos actually look really cool. The after looks cool and intentional, at least from the ending video.

The glass breaker is designed for glass that isn’t fully backed by thick resin, and for Evan to hit with force not trying to protect what’s behind it

I LOVE chaos Evan’s dance of VICTORY!!1

Not sure if it's already been said, but the glass breaker is specifically meant for tempered glass, as it causes it to shatter into the small, ice cube like pieces. Though really, any fast, sharpish object will do the trick. It helps for car windows in the event that you need to escape the car quickly. It's not as effective on standard glass and will just cause it to do what it did in this video. *Edit* ALSO, some resin molds used to be glass at one point.

If you try again, dry the flower in silica powder that you can buy online or Michael's so that the flower maintains the shape, some color but its dehydrated.

I hit the like as soon as Katelyn said "ARE WE FILMING AGAIN" and cracked me up

PLEASE KEEP IT ITS SO EXPRESSIVE AND ARTISTIC

its midnight but i finally caught an E&K video :')

I actually really like the shattered look

The moment it starts cracking like an egg under the heat made me giddy

In it's own way, it's a lot like the beauty and the beast rose. The rose in the movie had petals that fell off but what if he had a relationship instead of needing a lover and the more their relationship suffered, the more cracks the rose developed
