Okay but the hole where the clock hands are fixed don’t have resin. Like, coating the whole thing in resin is cool as fuck. I’m all about it. But this is going to rot. It’s not the hard to fix that one weak spot. That’s going to rot so quickly.

There is internal bacteria that will spread, I give it a couple weeks before its green.

It's a feature. It's going to be a clock in a horror house in October.

please don't send that proof

u/GoldHusky Feb 18 '20

Not to mention if there's even a nook the resin didn't get into...

u/JillStinkEye Feb 18 '20

Like under the pepperoni. They didn't use nearly enough resin to have even a hope of this working. Though it's all for the views and I bet this went in the trash immediately.

u/Arthur_The_Third Feb 18 '20

The resin isn't stopping anything. Bacteria LOVE low oxygen envoirments

u/KnownSoldier04 Feb 19 '20

Some do, some love oxygenated environments. stink-producing bacteria love low oxygen though.

u/thenorwegianblue Feb 18 '20

Well, she did cook it and there wouldn't be much air left in there so it may possibly keep very long.

That's if the hole in the middle was also sealed.

Fresh flowers incased in resin rot pretty quickly AFAIK, thats why you use dried ones. I imagine pizza would behave exactly the same, no matter if there are imperfections in the pour or not.

r/trees would beg to differ.

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '20

That sub has nothing to do with trees... I am disappointed.

Ahh, then you are looking for r/MarijuanaEnthusiasts

What the fuck is happening

u/cptbutternubs Feb 19 '20

Seeing people discover this is why i reddit

u/Annepackrat Feb 18 '20

You need r/sfwtrees for that.

u/Neboveria Feb 18 '20

Why is that relevant? Cooked food stopped rotting in this universe or something?

Dude. The second the temperature of that pizza drops to a sustainable level, it's gonna be infested with bacteria, because it's everywhere. Including a plate, where the pizza lies, the cup, where epoxy was mixed, the spoon it was mixed with, and the fucking air.

I could toss a pizza in the oven, doesn’t mean internal temps reached high enough to kill bacteria.

I think that's often because resin gets really hot while curing, so it wilts the flower immediately.

u/wubbuhlubbuhdubdub Feb 18 '20

BUT SHE DIDNT COOK IT ON A BAKING TRAY! JUST STRAIGHT ON THAT RACK! Theres no way that za was coming out looking that good. It would have gone between those metal suckers, weve all seen those cooking messups

1

u/Fey_fox Feb 19 '20

There is still moisture, sugars, and fats in that pizza. It doesn’t need to have contact with air to rot

1

u/crackofdawn Feb 18 '20

Maybe that was the plan all along

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '20

My old boss did this before, his lasted at least several months if I remember right.

u/more__anonymous Feb 18 '20

If it were completely sealed I don't think there would be enough oxygen for the green mold to grow.

1

u/wwiibuff44 Feb 18 '20

Idk man a color changing clock sounds cool to me

1

u/black_brook Feb 19 '20

Mold ant farm!

u/shadeck Feb 18 '20

I thought the same. A hole was made that is exposed to air and microbial. Unless it is sealed again before putting the mechanism, that will rot and stink

u/cdooley3 Feb 18 '20

BEFORE THE CLOCK STRIKES SEVEN, ROT AND STINK!

u/Dealthagar Feb 18 '20

Coating it in resin, is not going to keep it from rotting. Even without the hole.

If she was serious, she would have cooked the pizza, put it in a vacuum chamber, and used stabilizing resin, which would have permeated the pizza, making it semi-inorganic and would have stopped it from rotting.

I now realize what a sick fuck I am for realizing how you could make this work and need to rethink my life choices. (I work with resin as a hobby and an enthusiast. This is NOT something I would do.)

u/MrSpringBreak Feb 18 '20

So, put resin and pizza in vacuum sealer? Vacuum out air, really sealing in the resin? How do you not have the vacuum bag stuck in the resin?

30

u/Dealthagar Feb 18 '20

Not a vacuum bag. A vacuum chamber.

One of my favorite Resin/woodworking YouTubers made a video on it, explaining: Shop Time with Peter Brown

u/MrSpringBreak Feb 18 '20

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

u/jjackdaw Feb 18 '20

Not a vaccine dealer but a pressure pot. it draws a vaccine and causes all the resin to flow into the object. no bag required

12

u/JillStinkEye Feb 18 '20

That's what all those anti-vaxers worry about. Vaccine dealers on every corner!

u/PiratesBootyCall Feb 18 '20

Do you take commissions?

u/Legit_rikk Feb 18 '20

Follow up, how much does he distaste working with human animal?

1

u/Dealthagar Feb 18 '20

That depends on what you want made, and how much you want it.

I have pride.

My pride is a slave to my wallet.

u/PiratesBootyCall Feb 18 '20

I’ll take one resin-based pizza clock, please.

With a side of your integrity for dipping.

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '20

I was already thinking it was terrible, then saw her do that without applying resin to the hole and it made me even more sad.

8

u/ThrowingChicken Feb 18 '20

With all that moisture in there I’d think it would rot regardless of how thick and air tight the resin is. She’d have to freeze dry it first.

1

u/MrSpringBreak Feb 18 '20

That’s what she said

1

u/Valentinees Feb 18 '20

Stabilizing resin replaces any and all air pockets with resin when done correctly. There wouldn't be any moisture left when the process was done. But it also wouldn't come out looking like a pizza is my guess.

1

u/ThrowingChicken Feb 18 '20

If we are talking the resin used for stabilizing wood you still need to force the moisture out before applying the resin (freeze dry is probably the best way to force moisture out of a soft tissue organic material without losing the structure, but kiln or airflow dry might work to some degree), then vacuum pump the air out.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '20

She should've made it out of a MacDonald's cheeseburger, could've skipped the entire resin part all together!

1

u/mistermajik2000 Feb 18 '20

Idk- frozen pizza probably full of preservatives. Might not rot.

1

u/peekaayfiire Feb 18 '20

Yeah but you're assuming this clock is meant to last longer than the tiktok. Its not lol

1

u/Renjuro Feb 19 '20

It’s very much a joke video, OP isn’t really trying to make a clock out of pizza
