    Hey, hydrogen peroxide expert here, y'all were so close with snotty! Take what you learned with the toluene substitute, swap the alcohol for that in a similar way to cleaning with alcohol and then move on to the resin before the toluene fully evaporates and I think you'll really be there! Also, I think the sanding helped not only because it's thinner but because the surface finish makes a big difference both in the chemical interaction and the light refraction (being able to see through it)

    If I recall, the experiments were performed using wood that was cut across the grain. Thus allowing the chemicals to enter the straw-like tubes of the open end grain. This also explains why the wood in the other videos were so fragile, especially after the multiple chemical washings breaking down the cellular structure.

    33:22 part of me wonders if the lack of "full opacity" is actually due to the roughness of the surface of the wood. like headlights that have gone hazy, it's not that the plastic isn't clear anymore it's just surface scratches. So if you've got some really fine sandpaper lying around maybe give it a scrub with that and see if it gets smoother, and see if the opacity improves even further.

      I think this is a common "error" with the other clear wood videos. Cutting against the grain results in a pretty brittle piece, the wood grain having long connection points is one of the things that gives it stability. It's a difficult call to make, along with the thickness of the wood.

    • @Piccianify
      @Piccianify 3 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      I'm pretty sure Nilered tested that in his video as well and it did work better, but was more fragile/ pretty much dissolved after the bleaching...? I'd think the addition of resin might make it durable enough for that, if they get it in the resin before it breaks down too much. I also think a thinner resin, like maybe a stabilizing resin might work better in actually getting in the wood grain?

    I make soap from scratch and use lye in full concentration (versus the 10% solution they had). Having it already diluted in water helps a TON, as most of the chemical reaction, heat, vapors, etc occur when full concentration lye is added to water (something that has to be done before mixing with oils for soap). Never can be too careful, though!

      In my line of work, cancer rates used to be pretty high. What I found out later is that in the past (around the same time that cancer rates were noticed) they would coat their arms in toluene based glue solvents to cool themselves off in the summer, because it evaporated so quickly. Combined with a general lack of safety around these chemicals, yea it makes sense that people were getting cancer.

Katelyn's editing, the passion they put into their projects, the pranks and just general entertainment of how well they interact with each other makes every video highly entertaining, regardless of the project - home improvements, DIY vs Buy, Resin, Art, Woodworking etc.
    Even tho they make mistakes sometimes like not reading instructions or levelling their projects, it's clear they put a lot of thought into preparing for each project and trying to give it the best chance of success. Evan and Katelyn are such passionate and efficient people, I wish there was a way they could achieve these videos with even more efficiency (and less stress) to get as many videos as possible; I know they're busy all the time with streaming, podcasts, searching for a house now etc so I'm glad they still have so much passion and dedications for all their projects, even ones like this where the end result is basically a piece of paper turned into a coaster.

    a tip for pouring stuff out of annoyingly shaped cannisters, have the hole be on top and start pouring from there instead of having the hole be lower than the majority of the liquid. this allows air to move freely so no gulping happens and it can help in the liquid coming straight out of the can instead of following along the side of it and dripping off from the bottom.

    I know this isn't super useful now, But cutting a crossgrain piece might really help. Not only can chemicals wick in and out of the fibres more easily that way, but light transfers down the "tubes" of the grain more easily so thicker pieces can be more transparent, whereas the sides of the grain are going to reflect more light structurally than they let through, thus looking more white than totally clear. The only drawback is that it can become much more fragile that way, but if you're mostly bleaching out the pigment rather than fully structurally removing components of the wood, it shouldn't get as fragile as it did in other experiments I've seen. I think the final method you settled on done on a crossgrain piece might be really effective.
