/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>give it to my friends who just bought a house

That is a bad and creepy housewarming present

>>1448634
the wife identifies as cat-kin so I figured she might appreciate a dead bird. they already have a pickled octopus in a jar. Only thing I am worried about is somehow it rotting, but I doubt that could occur effectively in an anaerobic environment.

>>1448624
>preserving a non taxidermied animal in liquid plastic.
Bruh, the organs and shit are going to liquefy and start seeping out of the nearest orifice. In about 6 months-1 year what you'll have is a bunch tar and feathered jelly skeleton.

>>1448637
Well then your present will be fine I guess. I would worry about it deteriorating. If it goes nasty they can just throw it out

>>1448649
Wouldn’t

>>1448637
I hope your friends die in a fire and you sir a filthy person. Pretty sure your some kind of pedophile.

>>1448652

What about his some kind of pedophile?

>>1448652
This honestly made me laugh

>>1448640
this was a concern but when i looked into it the internet said that dry specimen preservation such as this is a common alternative to dangerous formaldehyde

>>1448656
I have not the tiniest iota of knowledge when it comes to preservation, but me thinks you should at least remove the organs and salt the insides?

lmao, your housewarming gift is a dead hummingbird sealed in plastic

t-thanks?

>>1448637
>anaerobic environment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_organism

>>1448637
>they already have a pickled octopus in a jar

OK nevermind, its the perfect present for them

>>1448624
That bird probably would have lived and was likely just unconscious.

>>1448624
It's going to rot away unless the heat from the liquid plastic thoroughly heated it all the way through and killed all of the microorganisms.

>>1448776
>going to rot
yeah
and generate gas until it breaks the plastic

>>1448776
>>1448781
Can't you just cook it afterwards?
Even then, I kinda suspect it turns to gas sooner or later.

>>1448637
>the wife identifies as cat-kin
wtf does this even mean

>>1448820
Just the average burger normalizing mental illness. I bet they even sell them pills for that

>>1448846
>I bet they even sell them pills for that

Pills to make someone identify as cat-kin, or to stop doing it. Not for me, but for a friend.

Post more pictures, you degenerate enabler.
Also, why is it yellow tinted? Transparent would have been the best.

>>1448624
you fucked up. you need to dehydrate it with acetone first.

>>1448634
this
never mention this to anyone ever. throw it out. pretend you never did this.

>>1448624
In many areas it is unlawful to collect birds. A permit is required.

Also the bird still has organs, you would need to remove those and dry and pack the specimen first.

It would be easier to do what you are wanting to do with various first. All you need to do with those is leave them in borax for a few days to dry them out and ensure any internal parasites or bacteria is dead.

>>1448877
*various bugs first

>>1448624
This just looks awful, it floated to the top and its probably going to rot.

Every time I randomly stop by this board it's worth it

>>1448656
You need to arrest microbiological life before sealing in plastic or the organisms will do their job and break all organic matter down into base components.

>I don't know anything about doing this thing I want to do
>I'll do it anyway and then ask for advice later

>>1448656
I hate to break it to you, but internal organs are not dry specimens.

>>1448961
This is exactly the type of content I come here for too

I guess OP can boil the thing for 20 minutes to kill off the bacteria.

>>1449116
Fuck it. Just give them hummingbord soup and walk on out of that friendship

>>1448637
Plenty of air and bacteria inside the bird. I'm curious though, let it rot in the resin and post the results.

>>1449121
I meant after the plastic resin has cured.

husband's buddy sliced part of a finger off at work. they found it later and made it into a paperweight for him. p sure he said they set it in acrylic.

>>1448820
i think it means she thinks she is a cat. just another mentally ill furry

>>1449135
A finger would dry out pretty quickly and has no internal organs/bacterial ecosystems living inside it.

>>1449144
hummingbird needed more swarf probably

>>1448624
Burn it...i`m sorry
It looks great though

This is fucking hilarious

>>1448624
You should try adding a shot of black for its preservative properties.

>>1449593

when will this be added to the sticky. a shot of black should be the first go-to for almost any situation.

OP needs to let us know (with pictures) how it turned out

>>1449300
Same here. I like that word way better than chips. For some reason "chips" always gets my autism flaring.

>>1449291
Fuck botulism. I'd be more concerned with the smell of rotting hummingbird splattered all over a room.
I've cleaned up animals that have been dead for a week. It is not something I'd ever be interested in smelling again--let alone having the liquified remains in my house.

OP, open the bird, remove guts and stick in the oven or bbq to heat up and dry it out.

>>1449301
>Implying it's a girl's husband

>>1449603
Wow this would look very cool.
OP please open up your "present" and let ants eat away the birb. Then preserve the skeleton

>>1448637
You really should have treated it with formaldehyde before setting it in plastic. Or at least dehydrated thoroughly first. Rookie mistake. Could end up looking gross, could turn out just fine.

>>1448802
Yes, you can. If the plastic can withstand the heat necessary to sterilize it, and it can withstand the internall pressure that will be generated upon heating, then it should be totally fine after cooking it. Just like canning food.

post pic of cat kin with it

>>1450934

>>1448637
You know why shit smells? Because some bacteria thrive in anaerobic environments and they are often the bacteria that produces methane gas.

>>1451089
I imagine the resin will be more than enough to keep it contained, but it could ending up looking pretty gnarly.

>>1448624
>Found this dead hummingbird while I was walking to the bank.
>to the bank

You carried a dead hummingbird into a bank didn't you, you sick fuck

>>1448740
OP managed to trap a dying creature in plastic, also sealing it's soul inside. The whole population of Tibetan buddhists must be having a nervous breakdown right now

>>1451150
Keep in mind most people that work in a bank are already dead and rotting inside, so it's no biggie

>>1449107
this.

Op should stick his vaccum cleaner up the birds ass. Tear it under the feathers. Vaccum all the organs and dry it out. stuff it with a mic and transmitter. Now you can figure out what people think of your artwork.

>>1451155
nice bait

>>1451168
Not bait. Not to mention the fact that people who work in a bank always act like they are superior to you just because they work with handling money. You go there and they treat you like a dirty peasant for no reason

>>1451169
Bank customer service tends to be one of the better I've encountered. Not sure what the US is like with all those little state-wide banks though.

>>1451150

OP come back and post a picture of it now. I wanna see just how much you fucked up after 5 days.

leave it on a shelf and take pictures of the decay state every so-often and update us on it

Ive done a research on the topic and I think that 10mins in microwave should cure it so it will last for ages.

>>1448640
well there isnt any added oxygen

>>1452705
There is enough oxygen that the aerobic bacteria can start the decomposition process, then the anaerobic bacteria will take over.
All OP did was encase a huge petri dish full of bacteria and food in plastic.

>>1448624
If you're in the US it's not legal to keep that bird or any parts of it. If outside the US, well I highly doubt any Spanish speaking countries care.

>>1448846
It's pretty common here in German. Lots of furries.

>>1448624
Keep it open. I want monthly photo updates as the bird liquefies. Bonus points if you can catch the moment that the gas pressure cracks the plastic and squirts goo all over your room on video.

These kinds of threads are why I come to diy. Thank you op.

OP has died due to humming bird explosion
F

>>1455896
I'm not fucking OK with this.

Did OP die of botulism? Need an update.

I have a tank of resin of some sort wich broke on the top more than a year ago.
Dodin't care for it much, just left it for months.
I go back a few months ago: three mice have fallen in and the resin is solid.
Mice are in perfect condition up to this day.

I say go for it OP, there is nothing that can go wrong!

>>1458119
post mouse statue

>>1458236
this

You could try submerging it in 95-100% rubbing alcohol, works for insects. Just make sure the lid is tight, rubbing alcohol will evaporate slowly(months to years) out of shitty seals/lids/caps.

>>1458442
>works for insects
Maybe, but it dissolves the fats and sucks out the water from warm-blooded animal corpses and they end looking like shit.

>>1458236
Indeed, pics are needed.

Ever heard of plastination?

>>1458490
yess..... I'll def keep bumped.

It got me thinking of those barrell mouse traps. If we ever have a mouse problem, I'll do it with resin in the bottom. I wonder if you could get the density to match the mouse, so they wouldn't float or sink too much and give you a nice vertical distribution.

>>1451176
I bank with a local bank, and all the employees I've ever dealt with are really nice.

>>1455896
PSA: I'm like 80% sure these were made by some artist who just wanted to take weird confusing photos

dry it out in borax for a few weeks first, ideally stuff its insides with some too. then add a small weight and cover it in an epoxy block

>>1461774
You're namefagging, just a friendly reminder in case you forgot it from another thread.

>Poor thing must have ran into the glass building.

Sorry can't help but point out how funny that sounds. Hummingbirds can't walk or hop, let alone run.

>>1448846
They used to, then a certain political party found a way to shut them down and pretend it doesn't exist. Now we have a bunch of mentally ill people running around chopping their body parts off and thinking they're animals.

>>1460472
Insects are quite easy to dry out and keep from further decomp. I preserve butterflies and other dead animals regularly, but insects are the only things I keep in resin. You should put your spider inside a small container with a couple holes poked in the top and set it infront of a window, let the sun dry it out. It'll keep like this for months, I've got a giant beautiful black and blue winged butterfly that's about three months old and is still holding together like a fucking champ.

Food irradiation sounds like it might help, gamma rays can penetrate resin and should keep the specimen intact while killing all pathogens. I have no idea how he would go about doing that though.

>>1469253
You can make x-rays in properly designed thermionic tubes, if he knew what he was doing chances are he could get an existing triode or diode to do the same.

>>1448624

70% ethanol is pretty standard and often used by natural history museasons. You need to fix the specimen first by injecting formalin though or it rots from the inside. You can buy formalin from science supply stores online. Just becareful because the fumes from the alcohol are flammable and formalin is poisonous

I wanna see the bird

should have frozen it in a block of ice and then keep it perpetually in a display with freezer , like this bird which is in a museum of famous dead animals in Netherlands

you can by formalin in specimen jars. I mean, its kinda a hard thing to come by in large quantities because nobody really stocks it or would be willing to sell a random mentally ill person a litre of it. but prefilled and sealed stool sample jars you can buy by the tray.

>>1473748
thanks for the story, i kek'd

>>1448624
I don't know much about taxidermy, but I know they remove the organs. And morticians pump dead people full of formaldehyde.

Your humming bird probably wont stink up the place, since the liquid plastic is air tight, but it's going to rot from the inside out and turn to mush.

>>1448624
I really don't know much about the subject but I bought a stonefish to put in my survival of the fittest tank I had and the fucker died in a few days.

>>1460472
Biologist here. It is a problem, it's not just bacterial breakdown, but also enzymatic breakdown that can occur even in the absence of oxygen. What you're looking for here is very similar to what is done when making permanent mounts of insects for miscroscopy. We want the specimen to stay intact inside a transparent medium so we can look at it in a microscope over and over again for decades.

In general the process is to first fix it to prevent decay, them removing any water contained in it, before lastly replacing the water with paraffin and mounting it to a glass slide with a mounting medium. There are a lot of information out there on how to do it, but most of it recommend toxic (often cancer causing) chemicals during the preparation because they perform the best and most labs have draft hoods etc. But it can be done with non-toxic substances, go find a forum or group that deals with microscopy and read up.

>>1475627
So just boiling the cured resin wouldn't stop the enzymatic breakdown. How long could enzymatic breakdown take to show noticeable changes?

Here’s one way to go about it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2e2DZ78Go4

>>1475693
You mean boil the block of resin with the insect inside? I just looked up lysozyme and studies from the 70s suggests that it remains active even after 5 minutes at 180 C. To break it down completely you'd need 250 C at 5 minutes or more. But who knows that enzymes are present in your specimen. I suppose if you store it in 95% ethanol for some time to remove most of the water then it will likely keep longer. Desiccation can be a problem though, but most small insects tolerates it fine. Most likely if in you put it in ethanol and then cast it in resin it will be fine for a short while but then turn brown and not look that good. Boiling it sounds like a bad idea, I don't know if it will survive it. But if you are the experimental kind, do try and see what happens.

>>1475998
Yes, the block of resin with the bird contained. I'm assuming the digestive tract of the bird will have something in the way of enzymes. Fortunately enough, I'm not in possession of a few gallons of resin, nor of and dead birds.

thanks

The Alberta legislature had a hamburger entered into the official record in 1969 so it was preserved and cast in resin in order to keep it in the library.

>>1481661
bird is the word

>>1478164
I have a scorpion like this, with a glow in the dark base. Parents got it for me 20something years ago in Arizona.

>>1448624
where is the fucking bird faggot

faggots never deliver

>>1480813
>>1480812
He's still here! There's hope!

Really looking forward to rat statue anon. Honestly I only kept reading the thread in the hopes of seeing such a thing.

This threads motto
>come for the bird atrocity, stay for the rat statue.

>>1449302
/cgl/ seems a safe bet

>>1448637
You should get her a gun to off herself with instead. It'll be better for everyone in the long run.

>>1449291
Furries should be gassed at sight so maybe OP planned this from the beginning.

>imagining OP boiling his plastic hummingbird project at 250c
>plastic melts at 100c
>OP is left with a melted plastic and hummingbird carcass soup

>>1485038
get on my level

>>1485070
Oh yeah he never stated that it was thermoset resin, just "liquid plastic". But to boil it at 250C he'd need a deep fryer or something.

hummingbirds don't sleep they go into a type of hibernation that makes them appear dead it slows their heart rate to almost nothing so they don't die of starvation. i slight breeze can blow them out of their nest you can pick them up shake them splash water on them pour hot plastic on them and they will not wake up until their bodies say its time to, there is a good chance you killed that bird.

>>1485366
So you are saying that bird will live forever in that plastic, like han?

>>1485338
I own a deep fryer. It doesn't go nearly has hot as oil in a pot does on the range. What it does is accurately achieve and maintain the temperatures needed for deep-frying, not go thermonuclear.

>>1485376
I see.

MY WORK

>>1485366
It's called torpor, but unless it's cold the bird wasn't in deep torpor. Again if he's in the US it's illegal for him to keep that bird.
t. bander.

>i'm not like the other girls!

Ah man, this is bringing me back to the time I forgot about a package of ground chicken under a newspaper when I unloaded groceries. I was wicked busy and forgot about it for a week. Then I was pissed at the landlord over the smell and calling thinking an animal died in the wall. They had already checked the trash. Then when they were in the apartment in the same room as me trying to figure out where the smell was coming from I remembered the fucking chicken and I moved the newspaper and chicken into the trash while they were looking away. I told them they were right, it is probably an animal that got into a wall and will dry up soon. There was no way I was going to fess up to that level of stupidity if I could avoid it. True story.

That said, throw the rotting bird in the trash and never mention it again. That's the best advise I can give you.

Short of that, film it exploding methane, botulism and bird shit all over your room & convert to webm, post, ???, profit!

>>1485523
Would take too long to film. He should put it in a ~40°C water bath to speed up the process.

>>1448624
Its not really specimen preservation if its not noteworthy in some way lol.

Otherwise you're just hoarding dead animals with no scientific value. I'm totally down for home grown biology but some people are just weird.

Still waiting on OP to deliver, let's keep this thread alive while we wait.

>Still waiting on OP to deliver, let's keep this thread alive while we wait.

it's a thread about dead birds.

this board is a joke.

but then, this is 4chan, and every board is a joke.

bump.

Best way to learn is to fuck up! That way you'll remember it properly!

>>1448961
Any board whose subject is basically '4chan tries to do normal people things' tends to be worth a look.

(I've been livin' a lie, there's nothing inside)

>>1485422
Hey, this is the point of the thread. Show us more, how do you do it?

>>1497231
...What was she expecting to happen?

OP here. It started stinking real bad when I wasn't home and my mom threw it out. Sorry, I won't be able to provide pics.

/thread

>>1497376

>>1497438
^
>>1497376
What did your mom say to you about it? Is she used to your animal-sealing shenanigans or is this just as much a new experience for her as it is for us?

>>1448624
Yeah a dead hummingbird will make a great house warming present.

Still here for the ratbucket

>>1485038
>>1485039
cool thing about this is the scorpion is probably luminescent under UV light(many are), so either the base or the scorpion can glow depending on what kind of lighting its in

>>1497376
Nobody cares this is a rat thread now, gib rats or go
Pic of chair I made to keep things /diy/

>>1497376
clearly not OP

>>1497459
He's giving it to some woman who identifies as "cat-kin", mental illness isn't going to be a new thing to them.

When will real OP step in and provide photo proof

Bump.

With a shot of black because I’m a pro.

Where is OP. Post the damn bird already.

>>1500700
See >>1497376

>>1469253
>>1469270
OP would fuck it up too and now the housewarming present is a radioactive bird carcass that will explode due to methane buildup after a while and blast resin shrapnel everywhere.

>>1500714
clearly not op

seriously though, whats the best method of preserving lil specimens?
just freeze them like this??>>1470655
are insects fine to dip em in resins?
>>1476796
and btw What in the fuck is this

>>1448637
>Only thing I am worried about is somehow it rotting
Oh dont worry about it, it will rot
Worry about it cracking under the pressure buildup and spraying rotten hummingbird juice to whatever is nearby

I encourage everyone to take the first picture in this thread and spread to other boards. we must find op.

>>1448624
Picking up dead hummingbirds is a felony.

>>1497376
jajaja

>>1497370
A real wall maybe.

>>1489970
SAVE ME NOW I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU WOULD LEAVE ME IN LOVE

>>1501738
Once nursed an unconscious hummingbird and let it go when it seemed fine. Not that I'm worried about it at all but I wonder if that's also violating the Migratory Bird act

Why didn't you give him a CHRISTIAN burial?

>>1502492
>Not that I'm worried about it at all but I wonder if that's also violating the Migratory Bird act
AFAIK that violates the Migratory Bird act, but you'd probably have to piss off the prosecutor real bad for them to actually try throw the book at you.

Birds go to HELL.
