a 7:53 there is this bubble crater at the lower part of the cast - it reminds me of the sacsayhuaman snake

Hi from Hamburg. Interesting to find someone interested in Geopolymers in DACH. It will be nice to catch up some time and fiscuss the details.

Hallo Mike, thanks for your comment. Sounds good to me! Best, Pat

I appreciate your videos. I've been very interested in this. Have you experimented with organic indigo dye pigment and palygorskite clay? I hear the indigo dye gets trapped in the needle-like tubes of the clay and has great electrical properties of some sort. It would be great to see you experiment with that some day.

[@Advanced_Materials_Publishing]

Hello! Thank you for your comment and suggestion; I really appreciate it, as I'm always searching for interesting topics to create videos about. So far, I haven't worked with many pigments, but it's something I've been considering from time to time. I've made a note of it so I don't forget amidst all my ideas. Which type of indigo are you referring to? The synthetic one, the natural one, or the green leaf powder? Have a good one! Best, Patrick

Hello Patrick. I am Wilmar Andrade, I am Colombian but I have lived in Quebec, Canada for 25 years. I am very interested in buying your books but I do not speak German or English, only Spanish and French.... Taking advantage of AI I can translate documents with great precision. I am very interested in your books and I would like to buy them but it would take me a long time to translate them.... I would like to know if you have those books in .PDF and I can pay for them via PayPal or eTransfer or other means that you have. PDF would save me all the time in the world to translate it into Spanish. Please let me know... I want to compare some of your data with. Those of Joseph Davidovits

Have you ever used slaked lime in the mix? Does it add to compressive strength? Also, what does adding NaCarb do to the finished product?

[@Advanced_Materials_Publishing]

I did one with Ca(OH)2 which works but takes quite long until it cures. That is like the Romans did their cement. With sodium carbonate I wanted to do some experiments since you can buy it in the drugstore. In general the waterglass-NaOH "activators" are the most promising ones. Anyways, I cant tell right now how it alters the characteristics. Cheers. Pat

What’s happened in the case put these samples in water? I made some in the cold weather and some more water besides the quantity weight as formula because of too dry to mix ,they couldn’t harder ,they were still fluid,when I got them to heat,they were harder but absorbed water and broken .

[@Advanced_Materials_Publishing]

Hello!
The geopolymer samples are resistant to boiling water, as my first and go-to test is the boiling water test. This involves leaving the samples in boiling water for over 30 minutes. If the samples do not disaggregate, it's quite likely that the geopolymerization reaction was successful. A sample only bound by hardened waterglass would fall apart. I've made a note to create a video about this boiling water test-it's easy to do and provides valuable insights. Thanks for the idea!
Best,
Patrick
