This video took a lot of work, so I hope you like it. Let me know i...

Aluminum Amalgam

Hey guys, so here is the aluminum amalgum video.

This video actually took me longer than a normal video to make. Just because of all the editing and the timelapsing.

I was very on the fence about charging, but I decided not to. I still included names at the end of the video though...

Making Margarine

I managed to edit and upload just in time before the end of the month!

Ill fix the thumbnail and description later tonight or tomorrow.

Making nylon 6,6 (again)

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of uploads this month! I will be also dropping one tomorrow though.

Also, a couple of you guys started supporting me while this video was being uploaded. So, you wont see your name at the end of this video, but it will be up there when the video is made public on youtu...

Dissolving Gold in Mercury

This is just a short video on gold amalgamation. I want to start posting short videos like this more often. I want to aim for more 2-3 minutes though.

I won't charge patrons for these videos, but they will still get the benefit of seeing them earlier. 

It will not ...

Edible chem - wintergreen

Sorry for the late video! I'll update the description tomorrow and I think I'll also add a warning to the beginning to not try this.

Cancelling the giveaway

Unfortunately, ive decided to cancel the TCPO giveaway. I am going to remove it from the video before it is released. However, I will still honor the 3 winners for just you Patreons.

I dont feel comfortable sending out chemicals to random people.

The winners are:

 Colin...

Making glow sticks

Hey guys, last one for the month (technically). Let me know what you think.

Ill update the description and stuff when I post the video for real.

Making Sugar of Lead

Hey guys, sorry this video is a little late. I had a last minute trip to Toronto. I thought I could still finish the intro and upload it on time, but I wasnt able to.

Anyway, here it is! I have laryngitis right now though, so i am not sure if there will be a video this week. It all depe...

Hey guys, im back with another fresh video. Let me know what you think!

Okay here is the second part!

Let me know what you guys think. I tried to cover as much material as I could. 

Making Soap (Part 1)

Hey guys, in this two part series, I will be exploring the science of soap. I will make both solid and liquid soap.

I am in a huge rush right now, so i will finish the youtube descriptions later. Also, I am only posting one of the videos as a paid one.

Hey guys, the full description will be posted tomorrow! Sorry about that.

This is the second part! 

Let me know what you guys think of this project. If any of you guys think you have something that you can properly cure the novolac in, let me know! 

Making Bakelite Part 1

This prep has been split into two videos. The second will be posted at the same time. 

It turned out to be a way bigger project than I expected, but I am happy how it turned out.

The next video is making nylon 6,6 , which will be posted to Patreon on Friday.

New Patreon benefit

What do you guys think of me posting videos and photos of projects as I am working on them? It would just be stuff taken with my phone and in no particular order. 

The full video would be posted a month or more later.

Lithium Carbonate - A Bipolar Medication

Today I will be making a bipolar medication from batteries and directly from lithium hydroxide! I hope you guys like it. 

You'll notice that this video is the first ever that I accepted a company sponsorship. I tried to make it the least intrusive as possible. I will NEVER advertise something...

Separating Milk into it's components

In this video, I do a little food chemistry to separate milk into its major components.

This month was kind of slow for videos because my schedule was all messed up. Now things are back on track and regular videos will be released again. There might be 2 more before the end of the month...

Extracting theobromine from Cocoa

Hey guys, sorry for the late post this month! I am hoping to get the next one out by Friday though.

Oscillating Reactions - The Briggs-Rauscher

Last video of the month. Next month has a lot of great stuff coming!

This video will be reuploaded later because there are some points that it is over-contrasted (bad editing on my part).

Making a Nylon Precursor using Green Chemistry

Hey guys, I actually appear in this one. Let me know what you think. What could be improved? I know the pacing and the audio in the intro is definitely something to work on. 

I bought a new microphone, so the next time I appear in a video, the audio will be a lot better.

Dealing with my mercury waste

This is kind of a 2 part series, because I'll be converting the mercury sulfide back into metallic mercury in a few weeks. This way, Ill be bringing the mercury full circle.

Cannizzaro reaction

Someone a long time ago requested that I make this video, and I finally did! I am not sure what the next video will be. I will leave it as a surprise

Final part of the series

Here is the final video in the journey between aspirin and acetaminophen! Next up is the cannizzaro reaction.

Beaker deal for Patrons

For all Patrons, if you are interested in anything, I will do my best to get shipping costs as low as possible. I dont mind covering some of the cost myself either.

For a larger order, this is what I came up with.

I currently sell 3x each size for $50 CAD (50mL, 100mL, 250mL, 500mL), so 12 t...
