Can You Cast Ice in Epoxy Resin?

Have you ever been deep in thought, when all of a sudden, the question of “What if?” comes to mind and the subject matter is something that’s so incredibly crazy that nobody has likely tried it before? If you answered “yes” to this question, there’s a good chance that a large variety of the videos available on YouTube will appeal to you. It’s so easy to go down a rabbit hole on the site and find an abundance of awesome content to digest.

This time, we check in with an individual who asks just that when it comes to the question of if the ice will be able to be cast in an epoxy resin. This sort of resin is generally used for all sorts of different creative purposes. It will frequently be used in things like furniture or other sorts of design items. I can also have functional purposes as well. Essentially, the resin will turn from liquid into something that resembles clear plastic.

This time, though, the question in mind is to see if an ice cube could possibly last for long enough in order for it to be molded into this clear plastic-like material. In order to get to the bottom of it, our host from the Ben’s Worx YouTube channel would hop to it, beginning to create a mold to see if he could manage to submerge an ice cube for long enough while the resin cured but also managed to capture the essence of the ice within.

Down in the video below, we get to watch as this interesting project comes to life. It’s a race against time and calls for the perfect timing to see the cube live on inside of a resin bubble forever. Will this project be a success that can be shown for ages or is it something that’s just going to melt before it even gets going? Find out all of that and more down below!
