    In this video, I do a quick cleanup of the waste from when I made uranium glass. I basically just ended up keeping all of it and in the future, I will pay for it to all be disposed of safely/properly.

      The name is alright but it's not as good as NileRed. This is just a cheap rip off channel that copies Nile red but instead of showing actual cool chemistry experiments he just shows the boring stuff like cleaning up after they finish the reactions. And if he wanted to mess with radioactive stuff he should buy some "Negative ion powder" or products from Amazon and or Google! A channel by the name of The Thought Emporium discovered that many of them contain Thorium powder to produce ions. Check out his video Negative Ion Products Are Actually RADIOACTIVE at the link below or just search for it your self. If you like NileRed/Blue then you are almost guaranteed to like this channel too as he creates his own scientific equipment like plasma sputterers, A cold plasma torch, a meat grape, a human brain culture connected to a circuit, fake leather and MUCK MORE! Here is the link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/C7TwBUxxIC0/v-deo.html
      Edit: This comment was a joke with a sincere suggestion of another channel you might like that apparently is still going over people's heads 9 months later. I know they are the same person and that is hinted at when I say Nile Red/Blue.

    Not only is there a river called “The Nile” but there are stains/dyes used in cellular biology called “Nile Red” and “Nile Blue.” Basically, they make different parts of a cell show up under a microscope. Reacting Nile blue with sulfuric acid produces Nile red. Very creative channel names in my opinion.

    Just an idea: incinerate the paper and gloves in your furnace, add silica and the powdered uranium waste, and vitrify it all into glass. This is one of the ways radioactive waste is industrially dealt with, and it might make for an interesting video. Then, there's no chance of water getting in, or the jar getting knocked out of the cabinet, contaminating the room and air with radioactive dust. It makes the whole thing a bit safer to store, and as I mentioned, might make for an interesting video.
