Our Boiled Resin Pumpkin is Leaking… (but it’s ok?)

What did you think?

Bob keeps leaving a sticky impression. Evan and Katelyn's follow-up, "Our Boiled Resin Pumpkin is Leaking… (but it's ok?)", checks on their spherical resin pumpkin with a two-week time-lapse. They weren't convinced the cracks were sealed: touching him left their hands sticky, especially around his carved teeth.

That gives the week's big experiment a suitably practical sequel. "Can We Preserve a Pumpkin by BOILING it in Resin?" has reached more than 2.5 million views and remains the channel's busiest upload by a considerable margin. The preservation project is in its seventh year, but swapping a block for a sphere brought a fresh set of complications. Even the printed mold jacket needed redesigning when it wouldn't fit inside their cooling freezer.

Prop-maker Bill from Punished Props Academy helped them work through the mold design. Katelyn called it their most complicated mold yet, a distinction that means something on a channel with a pure-resin bench in its back catalog.

Viewers are treating the pumpkins as an annual appointment. Some describe returning specifically for these experiments; others are already imagining a pumpkin bowling ball. The slow discovery that Bob was too big for the sphere has its own admirers.

The channel added 20,000 subscribers this week, while daily views are comfortably above their usual pace. It also had the largest weekly view gain among the nearby DIY channels here; Cleanwithbea is enjoying a particularly strong daily lift too.

Away from Bob, the pure-resin bench and the ice, sponge and water keyboards made with Safiya Nygaard remain Evan and Katelyn's busiest older projects.

"Is that our legacy?" As someone who only comes back once a year for these videos. I can confidently say. It may just be.

Not gonna lie the slow realization that Bob was too big for the sphere is probably my favorite part of the video.

I’m sad to have to wait a whole year to see another pumpkin sphere attempt. I could watch these all year round.

If bob continues to last, I wonder if they could make a pumpkin bowling ball with this method

Watching these two try to preserve the perfect pumpkin each year is like watching Wile E Coyote trying to catch the roadrunner. Seems like it’s just never going to happen but I keep hoping anyway 😂
