      The sadness was added to a beaker, and washed with about 750 ml of carbonated 5% ethanol solution that was sourced by fermenting grains. The ethanol solution was added in stages, and at each step the sadness dissolved more, eventually becoming hardly detectable in the solution. This was not a permanent solution however, as the clean up process the next morning turned out not to be easy. A large part of the sadness seemed to have precipitated on the couch, and after several attempts at removing the solid components with various solvents, I had no choice but to discard the couch in my waste container and buying a new one from Amazon.

      It shows you how a person with a science background approaches problems. It's intriguing to see his thought process and also something to learn from. It's includes creative and out of the box thinking like the how he decided to try out the doping on a small amount since he wasn't sure if the copper sulphate was 100% pure. Also includes some trial and error and if you fail you gotta have ways to fix the problem. Another great thing was how he treated time as a resource and went for the quicker and arguably better methods than the long winded ones.

      I hate comments like these because they are so silly. You aren't actively learning a single thing from watching these videos, even if you retain one or two esoteric pieces of information, you didn't learn any of the theory or basic reactions or any reasons why this stuff happens. To do that you have to apply yourself and learn the theory behind the chemistry here. You can't just lazily watch a video about it like you would a Nile red video.

We mix it into a clear ink that when printed on a shirt is invisible. When dried down our dryer or with a lighter flame it bleaches out the dyed color of the shirt so we can print light colors on dark shirts.. But also once its dried we can use a uv blacklight to see where that layer is to know if we need to align it more.
