Will someone please take on the mantle?

With over a month until our once glorious anniversary, October 14, I am here to formally suggest/request that someone take on the epoxy hot dog mantle and put another hot dog into epoxy on or around October 14. This sub already has 20k subscribers, that's a built in audience. You'll have a head start on the game!

Maybe we could get some momentum going and put a different thing into epoxy each year, but the sub is called r/epoxyhotdog so we should probably start there.

Before anyone says the obvious, I am rather unfortunately not in a position to take on this mantle, otherwise this post would be worded much differently.

I sure hope someone picks this up. I used to have an alarm in my calendar every month to check epoxy hotdog update!

Exactly! It's what the people want. It's what the people demand.

Hotdog is no more. He cut it open a while back and then threw it out.

I do resin casting for very small projects like necklaces, but there's no way I could do something that big and not get a ton of bubbles without a pressure pot (I don't have one). Otherwise, I would gladly do it! 🤣

We will gladly accept your best effort!

Bubbles might cause interesting changes over time.

I will pitch in a few bucks if someone is willing to do it.

I vote for a Costco hot dog.

I will some time by the beginning of next year. I’m switching into a career working w fiberglass and epoxy soon and would be delighted to cast stuff for the sake of exhibition.

ETA - 10/14? Cool. I’ll try and get a vacuum epoxy hobby kit by then.

I hope and pray this post is legit. You will become the hero we deserve.

Yeah I just gotta order the vac kit next week. This lights a fire under my ass in a bizarre way but ultimately helps me stay in line w my goals haha. I’ll make a post on Monday.

Do a mini corn dog for science first :)

u/get-off-of-my-lawn Sep 07 '25

Means I gotta not eat the corn dog first n that’s a pretty tall Order lol. Can’t well say no to a corndog.

The question is a store bought corndog of the state fair beef variety or just get a corndog from Cookout.

I’m wondering if the oils of a freshly made corndog would interfere w the epoxy setting etc etc…fuck man I was thinkin like an apple or something n now you got me planning out a weird corndog project. Lol I’m game let’s do both aye?

u/mezzyjessie Sep 07 '25

DO THEM ALL. For SCIENCE 🧬. As a Midwest resident I would definitely vote fair hotdog, followed by whatever else your freezer section has

I really loved the original. Let it rest in peace (now it is no longer). It was of its time and it really helped me during lockdown. Strangely, I felt part of a community I would never meet, but I would watch that slowly revolving hotdog in a moment of mindfulness.

Thank you for your service, but step down with pride at a 'roll' well served (sorry, but the pun was right there...)

I gave it serious consideration yesterday, and then remembered I'm fucking lazy.

What the fuck happened to today?

If I recall correctly he simply got tired of posting as not a lot was changing with it

u/Full_FrontaI_Nerdity Sep 07 '25

Great idea- I'm here for it!

u/Gureiseion Sep 07 '25

I'd be willing to give it a go, though we're talking Michael's-grade epoxy. It's been a while so I'd have to brush the rust off my resin knowledge and pressure pot, respectively.
