Some notes about flower petal drying w a microwave: you don't need any special equipment, really. You could use two ceramic pieces (I use two large dinner plates) and some paper towels. The larger surface area means you can do more each go. I also dry mine out significantly more, to the point where they're almost burnt. It makes them have a similar texture to crunchy autumn leaves.

Yup, I figured that ending would happen when Peter stuffed like 8 layers of petal before adding more resin.

@SwitchAndLever 2 жыл бұрын

This is super cool! I wonder though if you had poured a shallow tray of epoxy to kind of dip one side of the petals into before putting them into the container it would have helped the layers to stick together. I'm guessing here that the pedals are impervious to being infiltrated through with resin, unlike how fabric or paper acts with absorbing it, so you really need to put epoxy on each and every layer. I kind of want to make a gear shift knob out of petals now!

@maxximumb 2 жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same thing. When I see our roses after rain, the water beads up on the petals. So when I saw Peter putting in several petals between resin layers, I did wonder if there would be a problem with the adhesion. Still the end product looked amazing.

That is so incredibly beautiful. I want to see more. So it was coming apart, the layers.. Jab holes in the petals. it'll make a resin matrix so the strength of the resin itself will hold itself together. Think like a sponge where the resin is a sponge all connected to itself and the holes are the rose petals. (If it works and you make more stuff, A guitar pick, different thicknesses, /flexibility? A rose petal is shaped like a guitar pick to begin with. Different flowers? Leaves? I love micarta, but mixing nature with it makes it a whole level higher. Pine cones, mushrooms, Theres a whole forest to make micarta out of. More of this please.

Think this might be a good topic for a (short-ish) follow up/companion video to the "Resin's Dirtly Secret" video.

When doing any micarta, you need to soak or atleast coat each layer separately. Much the same way as paper mache. That ways when it is pressed, which is another requirement, it will fill in any voids. That would have saved you a lot of time and sanity with the ring. Next you can try doing leaves. All the colors and types would be interesting. Even dead leaves would look interesting.

As soon as I saw the title, I wondered what you could make with that and I thought of using it to make a pen blank, that'd be cool!

Cool ring and it'd be great to see more flower petal micarta.

The pressure/vacuum is always blamed... well, let's put that to the rest. Bring back all of the "gloopies" and "hardest" things and do both methods to see if one way is better. Maybe there will be a pattern, maybe there won't be, maybe it will just be a whole lot of weird failures.
