super glue is really common stuff and we
want to see what happens if you mix this
super glue with a couple of different
substances here’s the basic idea
we’ll try mixing some super glue with
some baking soda we’ll try mixing some
super glue with the water and then we’ll
try mixing it with the water and baking
soda combined first off we’re gonna
start with some small-scale tests using
just a little bit of superglue and a
little bit of water and we wanted to try
water because it’s so unbelievably
common that’s everywhere and I’ve never
really seen any sort of large quantity
of superglue mixing with water for our
small-scale tests will just drip out a
little bit of water and a little bit of
our glue onto this piece of foil as it
stands the water and the super glue look
pretty much identical so I’m going to
add just a couple of drops of blue food
coloring to our water so we can tell
what’s the water and what’s the
superglue oh the reason we’re doing this
outside is because super glue has some
pretty powerful fumes and doing this
inside I think I would become
overwhelmed by them just by opening the
lid of the bottle I’ve got a really
strong whiff of it I’m very glad that
I’m outside where there’s a nice breeze
alright just putting down a few drops of
our superglue here
little puddle now let’s see what happens
if we drip a drop of water into the
middle of that superglue some reaction
definitely took place we have this sort
of stream gooey plastic that’s formed
it’s a glued itself quite well to the
foil below it let’s just add more water
just over that whole spill of superglue
to me it looks like wherever the water
and the superglue actually come in
contact they cure in a thin sheet but of
course as soon as there’s a thin sheet
of cured superglue it can’t touch any
more of the water it kind of makes a bag
or a balloon around it now we’ve seen
what happens if we dripped water into
superglue let’s see what happens if we
drip superglue into water
you’re a little puddle of water that has
some food coloring in it see what
interesting you kind of like looks like
it splashed outwards but then there’s
like a center drop in the middle with
our little bamboo skewer here I can lift
up underneath that very thin sheet you
can see that it’s cured sort of string
where glue that’s still in the water
keeps reacting with the water it was
actually fairly similar to how nylon is
hey it’s made of super glue so it sticks
of things like my gloves okay same as
before we did small tests let’s try a
little bit more just cover that whole
I might have just discovered how
spider-man makes his web fluid there we
go
there’s a beautiful view right there
just a blob of cured superglue and that
happened by pouring the superglue onto a
large blob of water I really want to
take this up one more level so I’ve got
my whole dropper full of superglue here
and I’m just gonna see what happened if
I squirt all of it into this cup of blue
if I’d walk or once we’ve got something
crazy going on at the bottom of this Cup
oh it’s squishy that is gonna be hard
like the other plastic but this is very
very gooey AHA and sticky its sticky
well I can get me lips they’re sticky
gooey plastic this is what happens you
just pour Wow Wow it’s hot
exothermic reaction when superglue
catalyzes it gets warm ooh that started
burning my fingers a little bit yeah
that’s that’s really very warm very
toasty I’m gonna grab some more gloves
the next thing we’re going to try is
some of our baking soda and we’re gonna
be using baking soda because in a lot of
hobby circles it’s well known that
baking soda causes superglue to catalyze
almost immediately it’s a popular way to
fill some gaps or do small repairs on
model building and things like that
you take baking soda fill in the gap add
some super glue on top of it and it’ll
catalyze and Harden almost immediately
you can unsane it down and paint over it
it’s a pretty cool trip like with the
water we’ll start with a small pile of
the baking soda and we’ll drip some
super glue onto it and watch what
happens that it’s solid that it’s solid
that is so let’s see how quickly it
turns solid I’m gonna poke it right
after it drips down on already solid not
even sticky anymore let’s see if we can
make a taller pile and drip it on there
and see if we can lift it off now it’s
sticking to the foil
[Music]
there’s our super glue down onto the
baking soda cured immediately now we can
just lift it right off we just have this
little piece of hardened plastic like
substance you know we don’t have very
good leverage on it but it’s really
durable too there we go finally got it
to snap sort of a translucent colored
plastic we’re bringing the scale up a
little bit I have a slightly larger pile
of baking soda and this time I’m just
gonna squirt all this dripper of super
glue right down into it here goes those
fumes coming off a bit remember how I
said it’s an exothermic reaction that
means it’s getting hot there’s enough of
it that it made it all the way down
through the baking soda pile and that is
fused onto the foil well we did the
superglue into baking soda same as the
water let’s try reversing it let’s have
a little puddle of the superglue and
drop some baking soda down into it and
watch what happens everywhere that had
both baking soda and superglue has
hardened into plastic and it does not
want to peel off the foil this time that
is pretty good and glued on there starts
tearing as soon as I try our super glue
combined with water cures pretty quickly
our super glue combined with baking soda
here’s almost instantly I feel like I
really need to see what happens if I
combine baking soda in the water and
then add the super glue will the
dissolved baking soda make it react even
faster will make it slower will it put
off a lot of heat we saw some good
exothermic reactions will that keep
happening even if it’s in the water
let’s find out
[Music]
it’s again I am going to add just a
little bit of blue I think that will
make it easier to see what goes on all
right let’s start with one drip of
superglue into our heavily saturated
baking soda water back here quick and
then like crystallized afterward kind of
look like a little jellyfish a bigger
gel even patience oh wow and I started
putting off smoke or fumes or something
without a whole lot going on
this isn’t as blue as when we mix it was
just the water so something about the
baking soda is making it so it doesn’t
mix as much so the baking soda water
really makes the superglue react quickly
and I even tried scaling it up a little
bit by dripping in more drops at once
but what I want to do is take the rest
of this bottle of superglue which you
can see is still mostly full in this
whole cup of slightly blue baking soda
saturated water and pour both of them
into this jar at the same time I want to
see what kind of reaction we get when
that much superglue reacts with that
much baking soda water okay here we go
baking soda water huge amounts of
superglue going in at the same time
three two one
[Music]
jars a little bit warm nothing crazy
well getting hotter the top of it’s
quite hot actually the bottom less down
here more up here
there we go that’s about 6 ounces of
superglue and probably 10 ounces of
water and that I was crazy it looks like
I took several plastic bags and shoved
them down into a jar full of water I am
kind of curious about the inside of this
so I think I want to try breaking the
jar open and see if I can get any of
that plastic out it might just be glued
to the walls all right let’s find out
what is inside this jar here so that’s
water not sticky that clearly was
here’s our blob our blob of superglue
baking soda and water this stuff has
kind of an interesting texture it’s not
too heavy and parts of it are quite soft
and squishy I can just drive my fingers
right into them it’s like it’s sheets of
compressed plastic I guess is just how
it cast it’s not actually compressed
[Music]
now I did this experiment because I had
never seen a large quantity of superglue
get mixed with water or baking soda or
especially baking soda saturated water
so this is really just a discovery I
wanted to know what’s gonna happen so I
tried it out and fortunately I didn’t
have to go out and buy 300 tiny little
bottles of superglue you can buy the
large bottles online that’s really nice
it’s fun to learn what will happen this
is just some extremely basic chemistry
watching what happens when you pour
superglue in baking soda water and now I
know now I know what will happen
turns into compressed plastic bag
jellyfishes or something guys we’ve got
more for you to see the little box up
the top will transport you directly to
our last video and you can go check it
out
the box of the bottom shows you what
