If you ever do it again, add some ink into the balloon. Then see how it looks popped.

I saw the vlog with Nicole throwing water balloons at you. It was hilarious!! The experiment was cool! I love how they both turned out. Slow mo was cool indeed. Thanks for sharing!! 😊💜

You've done coffee, but what would happen if you put a tea bag or leaves into resin at different points in the curing? Might get some cool patterns

i was expecting an explosion honestly, but i love how the balloon exploded inside the cup! as someone said already, it would be interesting to see colored resin or water to mix up like this.

So cool. maybe next time some food colors with the water

That's really cool. I like the idea of coloured resin. I do wonder if that what you've made was put inside a larger cup, more clear resin then turned down a little to make glossy? Cool idea, well made too and yes, safety first!

Hey mate. Have you ever done a bonsai tree in resin?

do dry ice in resin

Australians are basically from Philadelphia with their equal pronunciation of wudder. Go Birds 🦅

Question part 1: did you not turn down the cup ribs because you were worried the water would escape? Question part 2: if the water did escape could you fill the void with a different color resin so we can sww what the difference is?

what if there was dye in the water balloon when you popped the balloon in the resin

Maybe next time you try recreating jedrek24t's diaroma by actually filling a water balloon with tinted slow curing resin, putting it inside a fast curing resin and then piercing the balloon at the same point of curing as in this experiment? I checked Jędrek's video and he's casting the balloon shape from entirely separate mold and putting cut up balloon (as well as cool effects) over it. I'm curious how it will act with actively curing resin inside resin.

Now maybe Nicole should have her own channel where she plays around with her projects and stuff

Hydraulic Press Channel would be proud. :)

Tsk tsk:"Yedrek"

Hi Ben and Nicole. I was wondering if you could use a laser or something like that to burst a water balloon in fully cured resin. That way the water would all be contained in the void left by the full balloon. It would probably be a good idea to colour the water also, I think, a different colour to the balloon, as the water would stand out more from the clear resin.

Please turn it into an egg 😊

What about UV resin? So you have more control over the cure

Maybe do it again but with glitter or something like the pearl white micapowder In the water

inside the water balloon put some glitter or resin pigment then put the water in and then re try. Controversially alcohol and heat sensitive powder might be fun, but dangerous, or slow set resin coloured, inside the resin or uv cure resin inside a black balloon, pop that in hi UV light you might get some cool stuff with that.

What if you let the resin completely cure and then pop the balloon?

Add food coloring to the water

Ooookay, that’s cool, butttttt… You should cast a shell in the cup first, get a nice thick layer on the sides, then attach the balloon to the bottom, then pour and pop as you did. The key is to glue a very small clear straw to the side of the cup for your needle to go through. This way you can trap the water with thick enough sides that you can turn it down.

I wonder what it would look like with coloured water

I wonder what would happen if you let the resin cure fully and popped the balloon using a laser or something similar?

Thought - if you replicate this experiment with a larger balloon & cup, cut off the top & bottom, turn it with the lathe until the interior water (some or most gets discharged), and then recast with a colored resin in an appropriately sized receptacle, de-gas & turn it into an egg or sphere? Hollowed out voids with color? Or, maybe use dye/ink in the water? Just a thought... Love your vids, bro!

Loved this. Would be good if you put food colouring in the water so we could see the water b3tter and exactly where it went in the resin, as its a bit hard to see with the resin and water being the same colour

Very very cool Ben

maybe try this with some dye or color in the water.

Totally cool! I agree with those who suggested coloring the water... or the resin. It would look awesome. Also, if there is any possibility of a plastic cup without the rippled sides, that would stand up to the heat of the resin, that would be great! I wonder what oil (or clear shampoo, paint, cement, baking soda) in the balloon would look like?!?! I know lotion doesn't react with the resin... so the cavity left behind should not have any soft edges... so it could be cleaned out and filled with colored resin!

Love it!

Cool experiment. It would look cooler with colored water for contrast.

can you let it fully cure then pop the balloon with a laser

Really. Kinda disappointed

Love the experiments and slo-mo stuff! Great work as always but please do be safe.

I'd love to see if mold release will pop a water balloon. if not, you should get one of those lasers that can pop balloons. do the set up the same excepts spray mold release on the outside of the balloon, then once the resin cures, see if you can pop the balloon with the laser.

I thought for sure it was going to explode on you.. Great experiment!

Love the experiments Ben.

I looooove your experiments! ❤

Where is your apron/smock? You should absolutely be wearing something like that also.

i dunno why it's always a bit sad to watch you scratch the perfect bottoms for the waste blocks😂

Caw I'm so glad that didn't go splat again this time 🙈

Ben, I’ve had this idea for a while. Fully cast a balloon filled with air, and put it in the pressure pot. I’m curious if the air inside the balloon will change shape while inside the pressure pot.

Slow mo popping shot was awesome!

Try dry ice in resin

I’m glad you had something heavy behind the cup on the second try. Holding the cup in your hand, and for that matter having any part of your body close when you pop the balloon, is definitely NOT advised.

That was a pretty neat experiment, Ben!

It seems like you need more of a shell. Maybe create a UV “shell” over the ballon except for the hole you pop the balloon through. Then put a layer on the bottom of the cup. Secure your balloon and pour the resin in. Pop the balloon inside it’s shell and let the rest harden over.

i think dye in water wouldve been a cool effect
