I poured epoxy resin over a box of water balloons to make a translucent piece of epoxy furniture. Water balloons covered in epoxy resin seems pretty random but I wanted to experiment with two different things. I wanted to know if the room temperature water would act as a heat sink that would allow me to pour deeper layers of epoxy without it going exothermic. I was also interested in using the forms to reduce the amount of epoxy needed for this side table while creating a nature inspired form factor. I recently went to antelope canyon and was inspired by the water carved sandstone rock formations. For the epoxy resin I used Total Boat ThickSet Fathom Deep Pour Clear Casting Epoxy and I polished the epoxy with my Ryobi Variable Speed Dual Action Polisher.
