I guess the fumes from melting that stuff got him so high that he thought glueing tools to a plank of wood was a mindblowing brainwave. Great job, Space Cadet...
back in laos, during the secret war, our house was using corrugated tine for the roof... each time, rainwater would leak through. this practice, when you don't have a lot of things to seal stuff with, my dad would use car gasoline and dipping styrofoam and use it as a putty-like glue to mend stuff with. this would seal holes and whatnot.
Styro putty! Nice. Aparently Turpentine mixed with Styrofoam is similar to acetone too, plus in the above he mixed a lot of styrofoam into the acetone to make a glue, but if you mix much less styrofoam into the Acetone (or maybe turpentine too, never tried that one) it turns into something very similar to polyurethane. So a mix of scrap styrofoam and acetone might be able to protect wood for you in a similar way to polyurethane. Cabots Poly wood finish is $50 a litre here. Acetone is about $10 a litre. If turpentine works in a similar fashion as I suspect it would, that is about $5 a litre...
I really appreciate how the video goes through the principle of dunking styrofoam remnants in acetone. I really didn’t quite get the process the first time around, so the 8th and 9th time of doing the same Damn simple thing was immensely useful. To make sure I got the order right, I’m going to watch the video the entire day.
😁😁😁My favorite part was when he screwed the washers down on those three screws he mutilated. I needed to see that. I might watch that part over & over.,
For me, it's more about no waste. The recycling centres in my country won't recycle Styrofoam unless it's in commercial quantities, and I don't want to add more to rubbish tips. So now I make glue from the Styrofoam I get :) What he used the glue for was definitely ridiculous though.
Well, thank Heaven for this! I've been looking for a glue that'll let be glue all my tools to boards! And that "hole saw", that makes a weird, messy, tapered hole in drywall? I've been looking for a way to do exactly that, for years! I'm gonna make one of those, and glue it to a board!
Now he'll be able to glue that board to the wall to cover the holes he made for no reason. And he's got fancy caulking gun/ tape measure art to decorate it. In fact, once he glues all the other tools he made onto boards, he'll get a bunch of free Styrofoam when he orders new tools from Amazon to replace the ones he glued to the wall. Win/ win!
Shoot, I did it backwards and glued the board to my tools. Otherwise it was a great time saver! I also cut about 3,000 holes in my walls with my new 'hole saw'! I'm surprising my wife for our anniversary 💕
I had no room in my shed. so I glued my motorcycle to the wall, whenever I need to ride it I just poor acetone all over it. I am so glad I watched this video.
I watch a lot of stand up comedy, but this is by far the funniest video on TH-cam. Also standing ovation for all the hilarious comments. Thanks everybody, I haven't laughed this hard in a very long time! I really needed this.
The dead pan delivery left me... ... Dead. Well played, though. I kind of think he thinks a call gun and tape measure glued to a board after spending an hour making glue instead of buying it at the $1.25 store.
I have an even better hack: just buy an authentic Faberge Egg, break it up into uniform pieces, and then glue them to the end of a chopstick, and voila! You have a perfect backscratcher!
I am glad I wasn't the only one confounded by gluing the tools to the board. Why would you? I love all these videos with a "simple" hack for something but you need an entire tool shop to create the product. Happy New Year Everyone! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Exactly. And if he's got all those tools to make a hole drill bit and a sanding drill bit, why doesn't he just get a hole drill bit and a sanding drill bit and get it over with??
I totally agree with you. What a total waste of time. And that STUPID noise was even worse. TH-cam always shows the number of 'likes' but never the number of 'dislikes'. I bet the number of 'dislikes' was sky high. You can bet that's where my vote went.
If nothing else, I like the idea that dissolving Styrofoam in acetone will mean that Styrofoam doesn't take up so much space in my trash can. I'd imagine you should probably do that in a well ventilated area. Being able to use it as glue is just a bonus.
If you like cacti and need to move one. Use two pieces of styrofoam to hold the cactus to repot it or move it safely without getting injured by the spines. A more practical idea.
Oh my God when he gave the thumbs up after he glued his perfectly good tools to that piece of wood, validating to all of us that "Yes, this was the plan from the start."

Maybe it was art, or demonstrated the strength of the glue that was made. Really it was a $3 tape measure and a $6.00 caulk gun, that both looked like they seen better days! I'd hang that art pice in my work space and ask others to hand me that tape measure. 😂 This glue smells amazing! 🥴
I got sense enuff to figure out the only reason he glued his tools to the only wood was to show all the dumbasses out there how strong of a glue he had just made out of styrofoam. It was never about the tools themselves .. it was about the glue. Quack....

It's pretty tough as a mould idk what this guy doing just seen similar things that I do and clicked it but haven't watched it but hey anybody as cool as me deserves a view lol
Attention all you glue creators. What I'd like to know is: 1) How strong is that glue? 2) Is it like contact cement (instant adhesion)? 3) Will it glue anything to anything? Are there certain materials this glue doesn't work on and if so, what are they?
@@chase-2200 THANK YOU Chasem for your reply. I've handled lots of Styrofoam, but never in my wildest dream did I ever think to make glue out of it. It never ceases to amaze how some people can think of such things. They must have a very creative mind, which obviously, I don't.
Or you could just buy some glue, a hole saw, and a sanding disc for a little more than the price of that acetone. And it'd save you a ton of time so you can work on a more useful project.
I found that if you do the exact same thing but with Cheetos you get the typical yellowish wood glue that is great for gluing your sandwich to the kitchen table!
Well i glued my car keys,my reading glasses and my wifes false teeth to a board...This is just best hack i've seen in years and the missus loves gluing stuff to boards aswell...Like i have always said, A family that glues together, Stays together..Happy glueing everyone.
It may have just been misplaced. Surely there is a hole saw somewhere in there. Although, I have an automobile but no wheels thanks to a large product recall. I still have the tyres, as well.
Had me wondering why. I was waiting for the story with this styrofoam glue. No test of the glue, how long to dry? Is it strong? The guy is a stooge. You can buy a whole rang of various sandpaper velcro discs and the drill attachment from Ali Express. For cheap and less dicking around.
Guess I should have read the comments first. I have spent the past 3 days trying to dissolve styrofoam in water and was wondering what I was doing wrong. I tried several types of styrofoam and adjusting the pressure applied during insertion. Finally, I came to the comments section to find the hidden secret and luckily I got my tape measure and caulk gun applied to a plank of wood. Not sure how I would have accomplished that without this very helpful video!
You may have missed the point. You're supposed to glue your friends tools to a piece of wood. Plus I cut holes in a wall using M80s, much cleaner and faster!
I'm still having trouble dissolving the styrofoam because I'm not fully understanding the part where he is sanding the hammer. Does the hammer need to be rusted like this for the styrofoam to dissolve fully? Maybe I need to rust my hammer more before I try again.
Rumors have it that not only is Styrofoam being dipped in to a glass jar of acetone the sanded hammer has been glued to his board of handyman tools of Genious ideas lol
@@robertmclaren9620 I've been using the wrong brand of sandpaper. I need to know what brand he used to get that much shine from a nickel size piece of sandpaper!
I was doing the polystyrene dissolve thing on youtube , 20 yrs ago. It doesn't work as a glue , but it makes a good ' art and craft clear ' when dissolved in automotive or general purpose thinners . It turns clear in the jar, and flows like a paint. When it dries, it's rock hard and clear, like acrylic ( DVD CASES etc. are polystyrene in it's unfoamed form). I took it off youtube, because the fumes were nasty !
Seriously. Did we have to see every single piece of styrofoam be but in the glass? This is why I never learn anything unless the video is straight to the point. 🙄
@@liverbird46 Nah it's hot glue. Ya can see the big piece of hot glue hangin out the back of the gun. Unless he molded it like a big piece of hot glue but I doubt it 🤷♂
@@CardKeyOh just what I thought. Totally useless tips anyway. By the time you've bought the acetone and melted all that styrofoam you might just as well pop to the hardware store and buy some decent glue. Or just use your hot glue gun. Oh, I forgot. He did. 🤣😂😅
Making that hot brass cap a dangerous projectile too! The glue melts and cap flies into your car windshield or dogs or your eye.. unlimited destructive possibilities!
It has to be real acetone and the right kind of styrofoam. I rember melting Styrofoam with hairspray as a kid. My aunt had one of those Styrofoam wig heads, once she sprayed the wig with hairspray, some fell on the head and created little holes, that got the gears in my brain spinning. So when she wasn't around i took the head and used hairspray to turn it into a pretty cool skull (melted the nose and eyes and lips), my aunt however was not amused when i showed her what i had done to the "wig head".
@@moonbowmountaincottage Everybody watching that had to wondering where he was going with that as he was applying glue to the caulking gun. Then you see where he’s going and wonder what the F was going on in his head when he came up with that demonstration. Of all things to glue that’s the best he could come up with? You’re trying to show people how useful this glue is so you glue your caulking gun and tape measure to a piece of plywood? That’s about the most useless application he could come up with to show that this glue is really useful. He’s saying, “You need this glue in your life! You could glue your tools to a big old piece of plywood with it.”
Dude was legit trying to show us why we need save our Styrofoam starts his sales pitch then makes a squirrel line for all the other glues. That's a real special ADD moment right there. 🤣
Love the creativeness of all these projects. Teaches a person to think outside of the box. We can always reuses stuff that is hanging around instead of going out and just buying what we think we need for a one time project we want to do. Good job.
Things just don't disappear. What happens to the gas that's formed after dissolving the Styrofoam? And the sludge (glue) you create? Is that actually safe?
Plyn, který napění polystyren při výrobě, obsahuje 90% vzduchu, zbytek je oxid uhličitý a dusík. Polymeru styrenu obsahuje 2%. Při rozpouštění v aromatických uhlovodících (benzen, benzin, toluen, aceton, trichoretylen) se plyn uvolňuje. Dříve se v radiotechnice tento roztok nazýval styrénový lak. lakovaly se s ním cívky. Samotný čistý styren se nazýval TROLITUR a vyráběly se z něj kostřičky na transformátory a cívky.
I’ve seen some useless videos in my time but this one takes the cake 😂I think I’ll melt Styrofoam glue my hammer and tape to the wall so when I need it, I can just rip it off and go through the 20 minute process of doing it all again🙄😁
You can also get some large thick flat styrofoam leftovers and put them around the inside of a cooler to keep drinks cold without spending alot of electricity on refigerator and freezer
I have used this stuff for years for electrical insulation on bare wires where there is chafing and the insulation has been removed from abrasion . Good stuff
This idea is amazing although I think I got a little carried away, I tried to glue my gran to the ceiling (she was asleep at the time, obviously ) suffice to say it doesn’t work great and my gran got a big shock as she hit the floor and was wakened from her slumber.
I divorced mine, now I keep all the cardboard and other stuff "I will use one day", now I think I need to divorce my son as he is the one complaining now... lol
That's pretty amazing how the overall level keeps going down as if it's decreasing in volume as you continue adding more styrofoam and I bet that was completely unexpected
If you're into miniature wargaming, styrofoam can be useful for making terrain (hills, buildings, etc). If only I knew of an efficient way to glue it together.
Painted my workbench with this mixture--well ventilated area-- impervious to most liquids spilled on it. Also easy to clean. Styrofoam is just aerated styrene plastic which returns to styrene when dissolved in acetone or other solvents like MEK. Good way to get rid of all those Omaha steak cartons!
wtf did i just watch lol .... this guy must have been a fknin nightmare for his dad and his toolshed lol ... why would u want to glue tools to the wall!????
Was good for a few laughs, especially the thumbs up after gluing the tools to the plank. I was wondering though, given the fumes from acetone give me a headache, what kind of fumes do you have when you add the Styrofoam?
Acetone is not that expensive! Try shopping around, it's about £2 a litre here, and he used about 200ml. But you are right, these are not great hacks! Hot glue to hold on sandpaper, that gets hot and a hole saw that rips things apart, that cost peanuts to buy.
@@dreddhk I think the person that posted is American. They have almost no domestic production. Just about all they get is imported. I have heard that their domestic branded cars are imported from South Korea, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and the such. Thus, everything is more expensive there. Even their clothing is imported.
@@Raphael-2 Yes, however, France is surrounded by many exporters. United States of America has to get their things from a long distance ocean freighter. France also has a president that is a lot more likeable than the American president. Emmanual Macron is also fluent in French and English. This makes him his own diplomat, to an extent. The American president likely only speaks a dialect of English, probably not the correct King's English. That will automatically make President Macron more likeable to foreign exporters, and therefore France more likeable to foreign exporters. The American government also has an extremely bad habit, since about the 1970s, of trying to run other nations more than they run their own nation. This does not look very favourable to other nations. Exporters would likely charge the Americans more than what they charge other nations. Sadly, this puts the American citizens at a horrible disadvantage. They are being punished for poor decisions their government makes. It does not seem as if their votes even work. You would think that they would vote out the universalist politicians in favour of politicians that focus on their nation.
@@indridcold8433 You'd think, but it almost seems like they're being kept ignorant to the problems with constant social pressure to conform to the status quo. That they don't take an interest in civics because they don't believe in the concept, and thus they don't engage and don't change anything. "We were keeping our eye on 1984. When the year came and the prophecy didn't, thoughtful Americans sang softly in praise of themselves. The roots of liberal democracy had held. Wherever else the terror had happened, we, at least, had not been visited by Orwellian nightmares. "But we had forgotten that alongside Orwell's dark vision, there was another - slightly older, slightly less well known, equally chilling: Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Contrary to common belief even among the educated, Huxley and Orwell did not prophesy the same thing. Orwell warns that we will be overcome by an externally imposed oppression. But in Huxley's vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think. "What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us. "This book is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right." From "Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business" by Neil Postman.
Could you tell us the purposes of what you’re doing? I understood eventually you were making glue from Styrofoam and acetone. Later you made a hole saw. For what purpose did you do the other things & what were they?
Why would you want to glue your caulking gun and tape to a board? You can purchase a hole saw and drill the holes in the sheetrock much faster and more reliably than the screw tool made in this video.
Who among us hasn't desperately needed to glue your tools to the wall? I don't know about you but id be lying if i said I also felt the urge to stretch the time needed to achieve completion at least 200 x. This is obviously about as good as a method as one could shoot for. Only way I see to improve is by crafting the tools to glue up before. If your really wild, build a dedicated tool gluing wall to make it the ultimate way to waste a week of your life. While making sure you'll never have access to said tools again. Can't wait for thr sequel.
so im, well i was, on a construction project to finish a project that was already 7 months delayed i quickly absorbed this cool tip and glued all our powertools to the 5-7 diamond steelplate floorboards i proudly admitted to my heroic deed and was rapidly showed the way out of the project i will continue my streak of success using this solvent and polystyrene, thank you bro
One of my favorite thing to do with a styrofoam block is trim it down to the right size and paint it the right hue of red. Then I toss it at an unsuspecting niece. It gets her every time!
@@ronhobyak9902Not her, that wouldn't be fair. She also knows the difference between styrofoam and clay. My other niece, however, who's just a couch potato, that one. Gets her every time!
Thumbs up for the drill hole cutter 😂 as it absolutely desecrates the edge of the remaining board, good luck getting your fittings to stay put in one of those holes
A lot of work when you can buy a cheap hole saw that's ready to use and not destroy the surrounding area.. Sheet rockers have a sheet rock cutter that works like a compass with a scribing wheel. With this homemade butcher tool the taper will either put a hit out on you or the boss will fire you before break
While stuck inside due to snow up to my rear end I have read these comments to pass time and have my daily dose of laughter. The entire time reading I have thought I bet they all are high from sniffing the glue.
Great idea!!! I wish I hadn't thrown away all that junk styrofoam now that I know that I could have turned it into glue with a large jar of acetone so that I can finally glue my pesky glue gun and tape measure to a thin piece of wood.
I'm sure it must be bots that are subscribing to these channels. The creator definitely believes we need to be shown how to dunk some polystyrene 30 times before we get it!
I've tried this one many time but... Acetone doesn’t desolve styrofoam this way, insted of this it creates a slime type material that is not even too much sticky.
You need something like toluene. It does not dissolve in polar solvents. Plus, it is not a particularly good glue. Honestly, this is worse than 5-minute-crafts. I don't believe for a second that hot-glue would hold that brass screwcap and the piece of sandpaper on under actual usage conditions. 🙄

Attention all you glue creators. What I'd like to know is:
1) How strong is that glue?
2) Is it like contact cement (instant adhesion)?
3) Will it glue anything to anything? Are there certain materials this glue doesn't work on and if so, what are they?
I heard it only sticks to porous materials
@@chase-2200 THANK YOU Chasem for your reply. I've handled lots of Styrofoam, but never in my wildest dream did I ever think to make glue out of it. It never ceases to amaze how some people can think of such things. They must have a very creative mind, which obviously, I don't.
it will only glue tools to a shadowboard in your dads garage lol
@@sabinekatsavrias4422 :) :) Hello. This would have been a wonderful deal if it were possible to create a good glue that easy.

"Where's my caulk gun?" "Long story that started with styrofoam fumes ."
Or you could just buy some glue, a hole saw, and a sanding disc for a little more than the price of that acetone. And it'd save you a ton of time so you can work on a more useful project.
I found that if you do the exact same thing but with Cheetos you get the typical yellowish wood glue that is great for gluing your sandwich to the kitchen table!
😂
Lol!
bahahaah
Well i glued my car keys,my reading glasses and my wifes false teeth to a board...This is just best hack i've seen in years and the missus loves gluing stuff to boards aswell...Like i have always said, A family that glues together, Stays together..Happy glueing everyone.
You should have said...a family that glues together...sticks together! lol

If you have a table clamp, a rotary saw, and a grinder, why would you not have a hole saw?
It may have just been misplaced. Surely there is a hole saw somewhere in there. Although, I have an automobile but no wheels thanks to a large product recall. I still have the tyres, as well.
Because the rotary saw is glued to a laminate board.
I'm sure he does! It's just a demonstration of what can be done.
only a matter of challenge dude....
Because.... reasons!
Why the heck would you glue the caulking gun and tape measure to a piece of plywood?
Yeah that had me baffled too. I watched the rest of the video waiting for an explanation but it’s all how to make tools that don’t work very well.
Cuz it's hillarious
The guy had a brain fart.
Had me wondering why. I was waiting for the story with this styrofoam glue. No test of the glue, how long to dry? Is it strong? The guy is a stooge. You can buy a whole rang of various sandpaper velcro discs and the drill attachment from Ali Express. For cheap and less dicking around.
I think it was to demonstrate the gluing of different materials to wood...
How much of this glue does it take to glue a blender to the ceiling?
Guess I should have read the comments first. I have spent the past 3 days trying to dissolve styrofoam in water and was wondering what I was doing wrong. I tried several types of styrofoam and adjusting the pressure applied during insertion. Finally, I came to the comments section to find the hidden secret and luckily I got my tape measure and caulk gun applied to a plank of wood. Not sure how I would have accomplished that without this very helpful video!
You may have missed the point. You're supposed to glue your friends tools to a piece of wood. Plus I cut holes in a wall using M80s, much cleaner and faster!
😂😂😂
🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂😂
I'm still having trouble dissolving the styrofoam because I'm not fully understanding the part where he is sanding the hammer. Does the hammer need to be rusted like this for the styrofoam to dissolve fully? Maybe I need to rust my hammer more before I try again.
Legend has it, he's still dipping the Styrofoam in acetone...
Others say he's still sanding the hammer.
Rumors have it that not only is Styrofoam being dipped in to a glass jar of acetone the sanded hammer has been glued to his board of handyman tools of Genious ideas lol
👍
Apparently the hammer didn’t work until he sanded it!

Wow, brilliant! Now I know what to do when the time comes to glue my tape measure to the wall.
I was doing the polystyrene dissolve thing on youtube , 20 yrs ago. It doesn't work as a glue , but it makes a good ' art and craft clear ' when dissolved in automotive or general purpose thinners . It turns clear in the jar, and flows like a paint. When it dries, it's rock hard and clear, like acrylic ( DVD CASES etc. are polystyrene in it's unfoamed form). I took it off youtube, because the fumes were nasty !
Is a certain kind of respirator advised or just a well ventilated or open/outside area will do?

Seriously. Did we have to see every single piece of styrofoam be but in the glass? This is why I never learn anything unless the video is straight to the point. 🙄

@@mikeonfreeserve2926 nothing wrong with having a soft heart. It's a good thing:)
Great idea! Use hot glue to hold a piece of sandpaper to make a power sander so the hot glue melts after fifteen seconds of use.
What I like best here is that he makes his own glue in the first part of the video and from there on he uses hot glue instead of his home made glue...
@@CardKeyOh I think he must have refilled a glue gun.
@@liverbird46 Nah it's hot glue. Ya can see the big piece of hot glue hangin out the back of the gun. Unless he molded it like a big piece of hot glue but I doubt it 🤷♂
@@CardKeyOh just what I thought. Totally useless tips anyway. By the time you've bought the acetone and melted all that styrofoam you might just as well pop to the hardware store and buy some decent glue. Or just use your hot glue gun. Oh, I forgot. He did. 🤣😂😅
Making that hot brass cap a dangerous projectile too! The glue melts and cap flies into your car windshield or dogs or your eye.. unlimited destructive possibilities!
It has to be real acetone and the right kind of styrofoam.
I rember melting Styrofoam with hairspray as a kid. My aunt had one of those Styrofoam wig heads, once she sprayed the wig with hairspray, some fell on the head and created little holes, that got the gears in my brain spinning. So when she wasn't around i took the head and used hairspray to turn it into a pretty cool skull (melted the nose and eyes and lips), my aunt however was not amused when i showed her what i had done to the "wig head".
Hahaha nice one
I hope there's a part 2 explaining how to get my tape measure off the wall - this was great until I needed to use it.
exactly LOL!
To remove from wall, simply fashion from screws a large enough circular bit. Hopefully it's only drywall...
Is no one going to mention the way he used that miter square to make those “straight” lines!! 3:46

You totally read my mind.
@@harryamos7869
Just what I though too.
@@moonbowmountaincottage Everybody watching that had to wondering where he was going with that as he was applying glue to the caulking gun. Then you see where he’s going and wonder what the F was going on in his head when he came up with that demonstration. Of all things to glue that’s the best he could come up with? You’re trying to show people how useful this glue is so you glue your caulking gun and tape measure to a piece of plywood? That’s about the most useless application he could come up with to show that this glue is really useful. He’s saying, “You need this glue in your life! You could glue your tools to a big old piece of plywood with it.”
Dude was legit trying to show us why we need save our Styrofoam starts his sales pitch then makes a squirrel line for all the other glues. That's a real special ADD moment right there. 🤣
I found this out by myself one day and have been using it ever since! 👍👏👍
This will be perfect for the next time I want to glue my tape measure to something!

Bahahaha I'm still wondering why only the first thing was about Styrofoam. Your comment takes this weeks cake!
He teaches how to make glue out of styrofoam and acetone, then whenever he needs glue, he uses silicon, hot glue, etc. Genius 🤣🤣🤣
The glues have different purposes though. The styrofoam and acetone glue is for when you want to glue your caulk gun or tape measure to something.
@@harryamos7869 I guess everyone eventually needs to glue the calking gun or mesure tape to somewhere. Very important indeed. Who doesn't?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@harryamos7869😂
I thought that...
Great video. I have an unused caulking gun that needs to be glued to something.
Love the creativeness of all these projects. Teaches a person to think outside of the box. We can always reuses stuff that is hanging around instead of going out and just buying what we think we need for a one time project we want to do. Good job.
Things just don't disappear. What happens to the gas that's formed after dissolving the Styrofoam? And the sludge (glue) you create? Is that actually safe?
Plyn, který napění polystyren při výrobě, obsahuje 90% vzduchu, zbytek je oxid uhličitý a dusík. Polymeru styrenu obsahuje 2%. Při rozpouštění v aromatických uhlovodících (benzen, benzin, toluen, aceton, trichoretylen) se plyn uvolňuje.
Dříve se v radiotechnice tento roztok nazýval styrénový lak. lakovaly se s ním cívky. Samotný čistý styren se nazýval TROLITUR a vyráběly se z něj kostřičky na transformátory a cívky.

Will you also use sandpaper on your hammer?
This was instructional using humor to confuse the audience.
You can also get some large thick flat styrofoam leftovers and put them around the inside of a cooler to keep drinks cold without spending alot of electricity on refigerator and freezer

can you use that for wallpaper paste, that´s at least something good to know 🙂
That's pretty amazing how the overall level keeps going down as if it's decreasing in volume as you continue adding more styrofoam and I bet that was completely unexpected
I think a lot of the volume is lost as energy through the reaction that’s why the level keeps going down as he adds more
much better idea than putting in the bin, many thanks all sorts of projects stirring up!
I love how step 1 of why you shouldn't throw away Styrofoam is a tutorial to make napalm😅😆.

Your 8 minutes have been sent to China ! ... NO REFUNDS !
Ingenious, "honey I can't complete any more jobs around the house, cause I glued my tools to a board, but I did get rid of that styrofoam".
If you're into miniature wargaming, styrofoam can be useful for making terrain (hills, buildings, etc). If only I knew of an efficient way to glue it together.
I think this glue would melt your Styrofoam you are trying to glue
Use the ' hide glue ' which is being shown on youtube as ' make your own super glue'. It's just vinegar, gelatine and glycerine !
Model railroaders use liquid nails, or a special foam glue made by woodland scenics.
I've used The Great Stuff. 👍🏻
Any Polyurethane glue will do.
Painted my workbench with this mixture--well ventilated area-- impervious to most liquids spilled on it. Also easy to clean. Styrofoam is just aerated styrene plastic which returns to styrene when dissolved in acetone or other solvents like MEK. Good way to get rid of all those Omaha steak cartons!

That way you don't have to be bothered reading the "WARNING" label.
Was good for a few laughs, especially the thumbs up after gluing the tools to the plank.
I was wondering though, given the fumes from acetone give me a headache, what kind of fumes do you have when you add the Styrofoam?
The kind of fumes that make you so high you glue your tools to a plank off wood and think, "Great job"
My heart was in my throat when I saw that drinking glass full of acetone! Guess I’ve trained with WHMIS rules too often.
Cost of 1 gallon of acetone, $35. Cost of one gallon of general purpose glue, $19. Great hack there.
Acetone is not that expensive! Try shopping around, it's about £2 a litre here, and he used about 200ml. But you are right, these are not great hacks! Hot glue to hold on sandpaper, that gets hot and a hole saw that rips things apart, that cost peanuts to buy.
@@dreddhk I think the person that posted is American. They have almost no domestic production. Just about all they get is imported. I have heard that their domestic branded cars are imported from South Korea, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and the such. Thus, everything is more expensive there. Even their clothing is imported.
@@indridcold8433 It's similar in France and it's still not expensive.
@@Raphael-2 Yes, however, France is surrounded by many exporters. United States of America has to get their things from a long distance ocean freighter. France also has a president that is a lot more likeable than the American president. Emmanual Macron is also fluent in French and English. This makes him his own diplomat, to an extent. The American president likely only speaks a dialect of English, probably not the correct King's English. That will automatically make President Macron more likeable to foreign exporters, and therefore France more likeable to foreign exporters. The American government also has an extremely bad habit, since about the 1970s, of trying to run other nations more than they run their own nation. This does not look very favourable to other nations. Exporters would likely charge the Americans more than what they charge other nations. Sadly, this puts the American citizens at a horrible disadvantage. They are being punished for poor decisions their government makes. It does not seem as if their votes even work. You would think that they would vote out the universalist politicians in favour of politicians that focus on their nation.
@@indridcold8433 You'd think, but it almost seems like they're being kept ignorant to the problems with constant social pressure to conform to the status quo. That they don't take an interest in civics because they don't believe in the concept, and thus they don't engage and don't change anything.
"We were keeping our eye on 1984. When the year came and the prophecy didn't, thoughtful Americans sang softly in praise of themselves. The roots of liberal democracy had held. Wherever else the terror had happened, we, at least, had not been visited by Orwellian nightmares.
"But we had forgotten that alongside Orwell's dark vision, there was another - slightly older, slightly less well known, equally chilling: Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Contrary to common belief even among the educated, Huxley and Orwell did not prophesy the same thing. Orwell warns that we will be overcome by an externally imposed oppression. But in Huxley's vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.
"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us.
"This book is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right."

Could you tell us the purposes of what you’re doing? I understood eventually you were making glue from Styrofoam and acetone.
Later you made a hole saw.
For what purpose did you do the other things & what were they?
It dissolves like magic . That’s a fantastic idea. Brilliant. Thank you for sharing. Jose from Melbourne Australia
Can the "glue" be used another day or does it solidify within minutes?
Why would you want to glue your caulking gun and tape to a board?
You can purchase a hole saw and drill the holes in the sheetrock much faster and more reliably than the screw tool made in this video.
Who among us hasn't desperately needed to glue your tools to the wall? I don't know about you but id be lying if i said I also felt the urge to stretch the time needed to achieve completion at least 200 x. This is obviously about as good as a method as one could shoot for. Only way I see to improve is by crafting the tools to glue up before. If your really wild, build a dedicated tool gluing wall to make it the ultimate way to waste a week of your life. While making sure you'll never have access to said tools again. Can't wait for thr sequel.
8 minutes of my life I'll never have back.

Yeah but you have shed load of plaster dust to clear up. Bonus
A lot of work when you can buy a cheap hole saw that's ready to use and not destroy the surrounding area.. Sheet rockers have a sheet rock cutter that works like a compass with a scribing wheel.

I thought the same!
Right? I thought, why aren't they all made like that?
Also, why aren't all screws, hex head, they don't strip as easily as phillips head.
acetone plus polystyrene, ça colle pas sur la duree. sur le moment oui, mais deux jours apres ça tient plus
It's really brilliant 👏 thanks and I appreciate your times to make this video. ❤
I'm sure it must be bots that are subscribing to these channels. The creator definitely believes we need to be shown how to dunk some polystyrene 30 times before we get it!
I've tried this one many time but...
Acetone doesn’t desolve styrofoam this way, insted of this it creates a slime type material that is not even too much sticky.
You can change acetone by gasoline or gas.
You need something like toluene. It does not dissolve in polar solvents. Plus, it is not a particularly good glue. Honestly, this is worse than 5-minute-crafts. I don't believe for a second that hot-glue would hold that brass screwcap and the piece of sandpaper on under actual usage conditions. 🙄
