Setup 3 toothpicks so you can set the ice on it fast as a stand, and fast coat / or 4 or 5 whatever you need.. can get rid of toothpick later

😂😅 oh said this at 1m not 3:00

Try putting a stick of resin instead of the toothpick in the Ice cube BEFORE you freeze it. And use it to hang the ice in the cup without letting it touch the sides or bottom, while setting the whole cup. The resin stick wouldn't have to be removed like the toothpick would, so there would be no hole to have to fill.

I have an idea for this! You should get a silicone ice tray. Then put a layer of UV resin on the bottom and all of the sides (probably a couple layers and brush it on) and cure that completely. Then fill it with water (probably leave just a little bit of space because it'll expand when it freezes) and let it freeze completely. Now, take the tray out of the freezer and immediately put the UV resin on top and torch it from there. No need to hold it and it'll be in the shape of the ice cube. You could then encase that in normal resin and turn it into an egg! You could also try freezing the try with the coating of UV resin in it, so when you add the water, it's already super cold and should help with the freezing of the water.

You can get various silicone ice cube trays and moulds, you could coat the bottom in UV resin fill with required liquid freeze then coat the top

Or the silicone reusable ice cubes, but that it cheating 😂

There are freshwater string rays, but they need a really big tank. I love the creation! It’s really cute with the googly eyes

This episode has a lot of moments where you need to SEE what they're saying, because some of the banter is a little suggestive 😂

My vote is Stingy, of course. Who can resist those goggley eyes?? 🥰 Adding color to the cubes is a great idea. Blue or green, maybe purple. Good luck in trying it again. 😊💜

Yeah definitely going to try again with color 😊

An alternative to freshwater stingrays is the hill stream loach. They are great little fish that look like rays!

Hate to go this way but, one should definitely be watching the video for the first 5 minutes and not just listening. Did watch the entire video and as always, great content.👍

I think if you paint a thin shell of uv resin in an ice tray and make a flat slab for a lid you can fill it with water, freeze, then use uv resin to seal it closed befor the ice melts.. then you can put it into the pot.. but if the seal breaks, it'll be a very exciting potcam!

There are freshwater stingrays, they can go in freshwater aquariums but they will need a really big tank. Saltwater stingrays can not be converted. Cool project!

Fishing line is ideal. Its clear and wont be seen once its trimmed away. Then you can just dip in resin and set it. Freeze some cubes with line attached

You could have made the ice with a bit of fishing line already embedded, may need to tie a knot for grip Brush a base and set first, then lay the ice on it and cover

The googly eyes on stingy was a nice touch. Definitely my favorite of the two. The ice cube is cool with how smooth it is also though.

Love your collaborations with Nicole! ❤❤❤

3:30 until 4:15 sounds like a convo me and my Missus have every friday night

Could you make a bowl or outer cover of resin then add water and freeze it, once frozen add a top cover to seal the water inside? Love your videos. Hello from Logan Village.

Great episode and results. Love Stingy. I was wondering, as the ice cubes partially melted during the process, what if you placed these back in the freezer, would they then remain frozen, now that they are fully encased in resin?

@kristajones7202

No, ice will even thaw in insulated water bottles and coolers

You guys make resin work seems so romantic! ❤

Hey Ben, here's an idea. Take snow and press it into a mold/freeze it and then take a solution of UV resin and isopropyl alcohol (just enough to thin it out) and a spray mist bottle. Either inside a fridge/freezer or outside in the cold mist the UV resin solution onto the snow and slowly cure it. The idea being the misted solution will cure quickly without melting the snow allowing you to build up a solid shell of resin around the snow/ice.

it's been so great that nicole's been in more videos!

Spending time with you two is just the best!

Have you tried painting the uv resin insde a flexible ice cube tray then fill with water and freeze then coat the top of the cubes before you get them out. I always watch your shows and it was the pumpkin one that gave me the idea with the ice.

Stingy with his off centre tail is definitely my favourite 😅 great fun video ❤

I love that you've been including Nicole in your videos lately!!

I was gonna say colored ice cubes would be cool. I vote for Stingy. 👍

I'd be excited to watch another one with more testing that people have suggested in this comments

That was pretty cool! Stingy is my favorite and kind of cute for an ice cube!

Nice work!

Stingy is super cute! Awesome job guys, love watching your experiments together ❤

Yay, Nicole makes an appearance!!!❤

That was pretty cool, and I was just impressed that you didn't impale your fingers or hand with the stick trying to push them into the ice cubes.

Another great video love the stingray

I love how the ice looks with the uv lights on it.

I vote for Stingy! Y'all made a pretty cool project! So glad it worked out for y'al.

Black 3.0 inside of resin!! Hi Ben! I've watched your videos for a quite a while and absolutely love them. I know you have been really responsive to your follower's ideas/suggestions, so I thought I'd throw one in to the mix. I really love the pieces when you place a cube (rubiks or otherwise) inside of a sphere of resin. I think it would be incredibly cool if you tried putting a object (doesn't need to be a cube) that is entirely coated in Black 3.0, which is a paint that absorbs nearly all of the light that is incident upon it. Objects painted with this pigment appear nearly flat or two dimensional. I think this would look incredible inside of a resin sphere. Cheers from Canada!

stingy looks awesome! 😊

Stingy is my fav. Love the collab videos with both of you ❤

Stingy. But Cubey looked like an ice-cube so that worked too. Coloured water would be better as you could see leaks more clearly. Adding a "stick" of some description while the ice cube is freezing may work better too. Lovely to see Nicole again this week. Two heads are better than one!

Awesome Video Ben's Worx and Nicole also my favourite one is Stingy.🙂

Really neat, Ben. Maybe stick the ice cube back in the freezer after you insert the stick. Bill

That would be very interesting!

Just watched the vid. Cool idea, no pun intended, but if I may suggest. Coat a silicone ice cube tray with epoxy resin, then fill with water and freeze, remove from freezer and coat the tops with resin before removing from the silicone. No guarantee but it is just a thought.

Definitely Stingie...too cute!😂 Yes, coloring the ice cubes would be cool. Y'all have a great weekend. ((Hugs)) from Texas!

Aww poor blind Cubee doesn’t stand a chance next to Stingee and his googly eyes 😂 Great experiment- thanks guys

Stingy is perfect! You guys crack me up!

If my first idea doesn't work, how about coating the sides & bottom of a silicone ice tray, cure it & then fill it up with water to freeze. Then, you can do the top after its frozen right in the tray. Then you dont have to touch it at all or shoce a stick in!

i never thought id see the day that id wanna put some ice in resin but here i am and here i go to the craft store 😂

Jazza just made a resin project, and all I could think the whole time was, "that's not how Ben would do it"

I like stingy's eyes, but cubie has a cool natural vibe. I vote Cubie!

I'm all emosh watching the birth of Stingy, how you both fought tooth and nail to save him, now Jimmy needs a nose at least let him smell his way around 🤣Love seeing you team up 💖 Thanks so much 👍

Hi guys, love watching your videos and to answer your question about fresh water stingrays. The answer is yes. They live in the Amazon river.

Drill a small hole in them add color and seal it back should work may be worth a try?

Stingy is my favorite! You need to make him a brother with a blue ice cube

I was waiting for you to freeze them again in the end

Omg please try this with coloured cubes.

Stingy is the new workshop mascot!

I wasn't expecting to have my mind blown my D battery adapters. 😂 I've never seen those before!

That would make a COOL necklace!

Hi, use a blue cleaning roller to better see whether water comes out when dabbing😊

I always just recharge my old dead batteries. I've been doing it for years and never had a problem. Todays new chargers use low pulses to charge the batteries so they never explode from overheating.

the presence of your wife in the videos is such an upgrade

That was fun

Stingy is awesome!! ❤❤❤

Stingy is my favorite for sure. I'm curious if you'd be able to boil the water in cubey. I suspect that it may be risky since it would increase the pressure in a closed container but I'm curious if we'd be able to see the water boiling inside the resin bubble. Don't do it if it can't be done safely but maybe this could be a future video 😀

i would like to see you use the new lets resin uv light that has a top and bottom then a clear try in the middle so it gets light from top and bottom. I think it will help your ice cube get harder faster.

Rays can go in tanks. There are salt water rays and fresh water rays. Actually quite common here in the states. Need a good size tank though and I am sure there are certain fish that work better with a ray than just any fish.

You could have just dropped it in that little cup, filled the rest up quickly and torched it. Would still be nearly a perfect cube inside. Good try though! Pretty cool

Stingy is lovely, but I cast my vote for Cubie because it'll probably be the only vote he'll get. I love you Cubie!

Cute. But personally I would have made a base layer for Stingy. Then ploaced the cube on the hardend base. Would have been easier, I think. No bottom leaks.

Resin ice cube tray form, thin layer of resin all around the mold then let it harden to form hollow tray form. Use it to freeze water so then you only have one side to uv resin.

You could perhaps try to drill in a long screw into your ice cube for easy removal? 🤞🏻

In regards to Freshwater stingrays, I would recommend checking out a channel calle "King of DIY". Joey currently has three breeding freshwater stingrays... but its not a hobby to get into lightly, they need a huge tank as they can live for up to 25 years and grow massive!! Instead of using cocktail sticks/toothpicks, could you make/buy some clear resin rods and pre-freeze them into the cubes (like little ice lollies), then the excess rod could be cut away once you've covered the cube. My vote, has to be for Stingy!!

I’ve been wondering what would happen if you put a tea bag or tea leaves in resin. That could be an interesting experiment.

Stingy is my favorite. I actually went down a rabbit hole online looking up stingrays and if they can live in freshwater...some can...usually found in rivers. And there's one who's scientific name is Heliotrygon, that has a small or non existent "sting". After Steve Irwin, I kinda...hated stingrays. Taken too soon. But I guess they're pretty fascinating creatures.

Love seeing Nicole in your videos. Love stingy.

You could also put like fishing wire in the ice mold and freeze it with the wire in there. Then so what some of other suggestions were and suspend it but the fishing line would be damn near invisible

What about putting a layer of resin in the ice cube tray then put the liquid in & freeze then put a layer on top?

I think the ice cube will alway melt unless you could somehow keep it cold. Brilliant well done mate

There are fresh water stingrays, one of my local aquarium shops has 3

I believe there are freshwater stingrays. Love stingy 😊 love the little side experiments keep up all the

What if you were to create a hollow resin shape , with a hole, then fill.with water and freeze, then cover the hole?

It would be cool if you made some Christmas themed nesting dolls out if resin

And when your batteries are done in the TV remote you can take them to Bunnings. They have a battery recycling bin at the entrance.

stingy is the most perfect creature i ever did see

Here is an idea that should work. Step 1: get a resin cup mold and use that to make a cup from resin. Step 2: pour a separate layer of resin to create a top for the cup note: must be wide enough to fully cover the open end of the resin cup. Step 3: fill the cup full of water. Step 4: use UV resin to glue the top onto the cup sealing the water in.

I want to see sodium metal and water somehow in resin in a bubble then mix and see what kind of explosion would happen or a firecracker then try to light with a laser😊

I am in love with Stingy oh my gosh I love himmmm😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The two of you talking about jamming the stick in! Just the tip. Should I put it in more? Don’t want it to slip out! 😅😅😅

Ok, during the stick going in part at the beginning... my wife shot me "you better not be watching corn." Omg, I died laughing.

You can get freshwater sting ray. I think Stingy is so cute ❤

You can't convert most salt fish to fresh. Brachish can sometimes go back and forth but it's not always ideal. You can get teacup stingrays in fresh.

50/50 for my vote.

I adore Stingy!
