@@VSO_Gun_Channel well I would like to personally thank you for coming over to the dark side. Your methodologies when approaching certain topics like this are a refreshing change of pace from the usual guntuber shenanigans - but I also appreciate the funzies of the pew, and sometimes you just need to goof off
Chem major here, but you are probably right. I'm sure the things we were REQUIRED to research in school were enough to jump-start the listing process. I had to do a research paper on extracting ricin and its toxicology for biochem 1.
Copper oxide can be useful too. Mix it 4:1 with fine aluminum powder and you can make pretty safe reactive targets. Backyard Ballistics did a video on them. They won't start fires.
I didn't understand most of what you were saying, but because you were demonstrating a real world use for chemistry I feel like I learned more on the subject in 12 minutes watching this video than I ever did the year I had to suffer through chemistry class in high school.
One of the things, that I was terrible at in school was public speaking. I used to lock up like a the brakes on granny’s car when she is about to plow into Bambi. TH-cam gave me that and now I love giving presentations. It’s never to late to learn a new trick
You literally can't make warnings on packaging big enough and you can't make instruction manuals clear or thorough enough because people literally don't read them. It covers your butt from a liability perspective but ethically... Well, George Carlin already said it all. Think how smart your "average" person is and then realize 1/2 of them are dumber than that.
So just for clarity, the final proposal was to add a mixture of sodium hydroxide and water to "the dip" when you're done with it. I wasn't entirely clear on what your final proposal was, other than "skipping the zinc solution. Would be nice to have a 15 second summary at the end. Also, what gas is generated while the parts are soaking in the dip? How dangerous is the gas?
Ok, so lemme be real. I took 2 chemistry classes in college, which were significant factors that influenced my decision to major in Humanities. I understood exactly 1.07% of what you said in this video, but it was damn cool to watch. I'll take your word on the science part of it, but it's really cool to see people applying science to gun related stuff. Thank you for the information and the entertainment!
Have you tried CLR to clean cans? I had pretty good results in my surefire, it gained almost an ounce over the years of use and got it down to only .2oz over its original weight with one soak. Only thing ive heard is to be careful with cerakote with it
Awesome to see in depth science applied to firearms. Super cool that you gave simple instructions at the end that most people should be able to follow.
Physics is applied mathematics, chemistry is applied physics, biology is applied chemistry, physiology is applied biology. Everything is this applied mathematics.
@@VSO_Gun_Channel Well said. All sciences are interesting. I ended up pulling a BA in Chem vs a BS because I was having a blast with the extra physics/biochem/math/bio classes. From a life-applicable (non career based) point of view, I would have preferred to just have a bunch of minors scattered across all the sciences.
I watched Johnny's video before, now I am watching this one. Both are great, but the question I have is still, is there a better way other than using "the dip"? Please forgive my ignorance of chemistry and suppressors. It just seems like the best solution is to eliminate the dangerous solution and use a safer alternative.
The alternative for a user serviceable silencer (like a 22 can) is ye olde screwdriver and a whole hell of a lot of scraping. I'm serious. Normal gun solvents do absolutely nothing. I typically let my Silencerco switchback go about 1000 rounds between cleanings. With a very small screwdriver, it takes hours and the best I can do is just kinda clean-ish. With the dip it takes about 10 minutes to give them a wipe down/drying/oiling after letting it sit overnight. And it comes out looking factory fresh. Of course, then there is a jar full of awfulness which is why this video exists. It's also worth noting this is exclusively for steel cans, any kind of coatings as well as both aluminum and titanium parts are not going to react well to the dip.
Yeah that or an old toothbrush. And that's depending on your setup. You might not be able to find a brush stiff enough to get inside the holes of a monolithic block to scrape the junk out. The big thing is, like with your receiver/barrel when shooting corrosive ammo, you need to do it often because letting it sit, build up and/or harden on there is going to exacerbate your problems. The best solution would be to find an effective solvent that doesn't create neurotoxins or isn't some kind of poison in and of itself. But what? You could use saline in a sonic cleaner if your suppressor is 100% unalloyed titanium or plastic but it's not. That'll rot away anything made of iron (yes, even stainless steel) or aluminum real fast. And it would still scratch it all up over time. One guy below says CLR works kinda well.
Yeah, throw in that copper solution bown a septic system would have been horrible for the microbiology. Good work on the chemistry. I did remember you stating in a past video that you were a chemist.
Also, this is awesome. Used dip solution is likely the most hazardous chemical I will ever encounter in my life. The dump in my county only takes hazardous chemicals on a special day that happens once per quarter so after a couple months you end up with several jars full of extra-spicy lead juice collecting on a shelf waiting on the dump day. Also they only do their hazmat days on a Saturday so if you happen to be out out of town that weekend it’s another 3 months until the next one. I was out of town for 3 in a row last year so had an entire years worth of it sitting around by the time I could take it in. Just driving it to the dump in the first place is pretty sketchy because if you get in a bad wreck on the way then those jars are going to break and there is going to be lead acetate all over you, your car, and any unsuspecting first responders who come into contact with it.
A better method would have been to use steel to cement the copper out of solution in elemental form. Filter the solution which should be piss yellow at this point away from the copper. THEN use the hydroxide to remove the lead and steel from solution. The solution should be crystal clear at this point but is now a very basic one. To neutralize it you should use a very strong acid. HCL comes to mind. When neutralized you will be left with a solution that is safe to dispose of. The copper can be disposed of straight away as it is elemental copper. The steel and lead salts should be roasted before disposal. I know nobody will do this but it would be the "proper" way.
Depends on how much lead oxide you have. Scrap sources for casting are drying up, I keep any lead I come across, up to and including picking up pieces of split shot when I’m fishing and spot them. Below the dam on a striped bass trip I’ll usually get a couple lbs of 2-5 oz bank sinkers if I remember to keep an eye out. Or just filter and dry the lead oxide and store it if it has any usefulness for chemistry or whatnot.
You journey of discovery was interesting. But to make it practical to use this knowledge, it would be useful for you to write a proceedure for the final method that worked and put it in the "down below" section of your post.
You are right. It’s been a minute since I’ve published a procedure. I’ll add it to my list of things to do. I’ll have to recreate it to get the actual measurements.
I have seen a few videos, and some from yourself if I’m not mistaken, of CLR being used on barrels and muzzle breaks, is there a reason it wouldn’t work for suppressors? Is it too weak? Or too strong? Does it not dissolve the lead?
That was friggen awesome, you scienced the crap out of it. I'm not looking forward to cleaning any of my suppressors but this video should help a lot of people. Thanks for sharing and as always keep Pew pewing.
Wouldn’t a zinc powder react faster? Someone told me that they did something with salt(sodium chloride) after zinc but I’ve never tried it. Might be a very bad idea for all I know. Maybe a chemistry expert can piece something together from that.
How do you tell how you’ve added enough NaOH to convert all the lead and copper? Just keep adding more until you no longer see anything falling out of solution?
I know old timers used to plug barrels and use mercury to clean (leading?).. am I remembering that correctly? Could that method be used on suppressors and would it be less toxic?
5:20 im not a chemist so this is a question, by running at high temperature, aren't you increasing the chances of developing toxic fumes out of the reaction? Yes lead and copper is probably to dense to become a gas but there must be something bad right?
so I bought an ultrasonic cleaner and does anyone know a good solution to cleaning a sandman s? I tried some purple simple green and it didn't really do anything after four 30 minute cycles
Me in the beginning of the video: Oh sweet. He's gonna show me how to do something cool and make it easy. Me at the end of the video: F*ck it I'll just pay 1,300$$ and wait another 12 months.
When I watch his video original. You where my first thought because your a chemist. And if you would weigh In on the topic. I’ll be honest your video confuse me more. So after I clean my cans with the dip. I can’t drink it or I have to add some everclear or sky vodka and then it’s safe. Joking aside could you do a follow up video on how I can simply and easy make dip safe to disposed of.
Just ask Falesy. Is he still around? Seems to be not be, lately? I love biology, science, and even physics. But the left and politics, not so much they seem to love fancy and not a panel of doctors.
Hey, I've got an old .22lr pistol with a compensator thats been clogged with lead. Do you think that it will help clean up the lead but not ruin the bluing?
Here is the thing- bluing is rust. It’s a different oxide than the red rust that you normally call rust, but it’s still rust. Iron forms porous oxides and bluing is just deemed more attractive because it is more uniform and adheres more tightly to the surface. The bluing itself will be fine. The metal that isn’t blued will not be. I suggest you buy a bottle of cold blue. Use the method, get the lead out, clean it, hand dry it and then drop the comp in a jar of cold blue.
This an interesting thing because technology creates toxic waste. People don't tend to think of guns or gun related stuff as "technology" because this all started in the 14th century. But handling some of these products without PPE, without ventilation or dumping them down the drain can be a disaster. Some people (not all, don't wanna paint everyone with the same brush-it's why I prefer the term Fudd to Boomer) think it's perfectly benign because they bought it in a store. (Insert cynical comment about OTC medications slowly killing your liver and kidneys here.) But it's NOT. Case in point: I have a room full of old computer parts and CFL lightbulbs (...remember those? ...spirally kind? ..."next big thing"? ...lasts for so long a lot of them were obsolete before they even burned out?) because I'm legally prohibited from throwing them away and nobody around here wants to take them to be recycled. I'd like to see more videos about how to safely and/or ethically clean up residue from firearms so you don't injure yourself, your sewage system, local waterways or any bald eagles.
Can’t have 100% it too hydroscopic. Most you can have it 99 or so %. Should t have been enough to work when he was washing the second time I would think.
@@MerpSquirrel well it’s possible to reach 99.9ect so that’s close enough, although not widely available. And I’m pretty sure you get it to insanely high purity under more scrupulous lab conditions
I am not going to discuss where the alcohol came from. Just that it’s high. Laboratory grade ethanol often contains benzene in an effort to both stabilize the solution and as a byproduct of the manufacturing process of driving off the last 5% of water. You still can’t get it all but you can get 99.99. this way. Benzene is great because it’s a ring, electron distribution is solid and it’s very stable. Unless of course you are working with peroxides. Then, you have the capacity to create all kinds of nasty shit. Particularly in the presence of…a copper catalyst.
