this video is sponsored by the Casper
mattress in today’s video we’re taking a
look at what happens when you combine
superglue with a warm borax solution the
result will surprise you and I’m not
saying that in the clickbait way I mean
it surprised the heck out of me so it’ll
probably surprise you to
here’s the basic idea will dissolve some
borax into some hot water and then we’ll
add superglue to it in increasingly
large quantities we’ll then watch what
happens when we introduce a large
quantity of our super glue into the
borax solution very rapidly first let’s
[Music]
warm borax solution and an eyedropper
full of cyanoacrylate or super glue the
super glue catalyzes immediately on
contact with the boric acid and it comes
out in these really cool patterns that
just kind of look like pieces of plastic
floating through water or maybe pieces
of coral or something organic I don’t
know it’s really bizarre at this point
they’re also completely catalyzed
they’re not sticky anymore there’s no
superglue left over it’s just catalyzed
plastic not terribly durable it feels
kind of hard but you can usually just
tear them apart
if you’re determined we’ve seen that the
super glue turns white when it hits our
borax solution and I think we can add a
little bit of color using some alcohol
ink you can see that it mixes in quite
well with the superglue it doesn’t cause
it to catalyze or anything like that
so now let’s see what happens we drip
some of the orange superglue down into
we definitely have managed to dye the
superglue and dye the plastic that forms
when we inject it down into the borax
solution you may have also noticed that
it was going a tiny bit slower this time
and that’s actually due to the heat it
reacts a lot quicker in very warm water
and now this has been out here for just
long enough to start cooling down to
scale this up one step let’s make a
slightly larger batch of our borax
solution and then fill this tray I want
to see we can draw cool designs using
the superglue right into the liquid it’s
not the prettiest crown I’ve ever seen
but it will do the king of random crown
a little bit different from how we’re
used to seeing it maybe that really just
looks like crystal growth or coral or
something we’ve got this big glass
cookie jar and we’re gonna fill this up
with hot borax solution we’re then going
to dye some of our cyanoacrylate glue
and fill a small water balloon with it
will suspend that water balloon
underneath the borax solution and then
pop the balloon instantly exposing all
of that glue to the borax solution
around it this should be fun guys I want
to take a quick minute and talk about
Casper the sponsor for today’s video we
should be spending one third of our
lives in bed so why not make sure that
bed is super comfortable if you are
looking to upgrade your quality of sleep
you can now get $50 off of select
mattresses from Casper just go to Casper
dot-com slash the king of random and
enter promo code the king of random the
Casper brand mattress is carefully
engineered with several types of layered
memory foam to give you just the right
combination of support and sinking in
even though this is a nice thick very
squishy mattress they do manage to smash
it down small enough that it fits an
impressively small box when it arrives
it is still a decent size box because
it’s holding a mattress but it looks way
too small to be holding this when you’re
buying a Casper mattress you’re buying
directly from the company you’re cutting
out the middleman and you save on those
you don’t have to pay someone else to be
storing it in their warehouse and then
showing it off and then all the salesman
fees and stuff like that you’re just
getting the Casper mattress directly
from the people who make it after you
get your mattress you have a 100 day
sleep on it trial which means you get to
have this bad boy for over three months
making sure that it is the mattress you
love and if you don’t like it they have
a no hassle free return thank you to
casper from providing my mattress and
for sponsoring today’s video remember
you can now get $50 off of select
mattresses by going to casper comm slash
the king of random and entering the
promo code the king of random trying to
use about half of the superglue into one
balloon perfect okay three two one no
orange and pink
all right well it’s going to have that
much air in it okay so I’m going to put
amazing little pockets of the glue got
trapped and those are just activating as
they pull and leak their way forward
piece of my glove got glued in place
onto the balloon that is the result of
the superglue catalyzing catastrophic ly
and immediately with the borax solution
it’s kind of weird it feels as if you
took like thin plastic bags and then
melted it down into a blob so there’s
like really rigid parts but then the
edges of it are like very flimsy thin
plastic still you try and just tear it
in half I dip it down into the borax
solution because I don’t know if there’s
gonna be bits of it that haven’t
catalyzed and I don’t want to get those
all over my hands and glue my gloves
together expands a lot that is way
bigger than the balloon I put down in
there and this thicker portion is
actually the line along which the
balloon ruptured so we have it it tore
open right here and right here and then
these pieces were a little slower to
move out of the way as the whole thing
expanded so yeah you can sort of see the
egg shape of the balloon and then all
the pieces that erupted out of it
that is a really cool reaction with a
really cool result you know looking at
it I’m not sure if I like the exploding
balloon better or the leaking balloon
better that gave us these like cool
snake things both of them
I thought turned out really well this
first one with the orange plastic didn’t
have the same result as the second one
and that’s because something about the
cyanoacrylate glue makes the latex
rubber of the balloon not be very
stretchy so even though it was full of
liquid and underwater it didn’t really
have any pressure to pop apart so when I
stabbed it it didn’t rip open it just
sort of started leaking out of that one
hole that’s why for the second one I was
actually squeezing the balloon as I hit
it with the needle and that made it tear
open all at once guys the fun is not
over there’s more for you to see that
box up at the top will transport you
directly to our last video and you
should go check that out the box at the
bottom will show you
YouTube thinks you should be watching
next and this bomb in the middle will
subscribe you to our channel so you
never miss a video don’t forget to ring
that Bell and we will see you in the next one talk to you then
