- Easy way to make plastic from Milk and vinegar. Pretty amazing. This creates a long molecule called Casein which is just like typical plastic. You can mold it, sculpt it sand it. I make a pair of dice in this tutorial. More on how to do this on my website here: www.stormthecas...

How is it possible that an amazing channel like this doesn't have over 1 million subscriber already ?? C'mon everyone ! Let this channel pass 1 million !
Thank you for your kind words!
Awesome! I also learned in science how to make plastic out of potatoes, and I think it was hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. It was pretty neat, its for soft plastic though. Not hard. :)
I still love doing projects like this. There's just something great about creating stuff from start to finish with basic materials. When there is a practical way to make my own materials instead of using store-bought products, I do it.
Homemade plastic from milk and vinegar? Definitely an experiment for the weekend.
Thx dude u rock
Just fixed my toilet water tank with molding a broken off peace and gluing it
What is the milk or anything say the name in Tamil and the water or anything say the name in tamil
@Amjad El Kharraz Agreed :D
... because reading these comments made me sad, and I actually bothered to do some research...
For all the people claiming this isn't a plastic
The IUPAC definition of a plastic is that it is a "Generic term used in the case of polymeric material that may contain other substances to improve performance and/or reduce costs."
The definition Google gives for plastic is that it is "a synthetic material made from a wide range of organic polymers"
Aside from the synthetic part, this fully qualifies as a plastic, and simply does under the IUPAC definition. Although it historically has been further processed, that does not mean that this doesn't qualify as a plastic.
It is also a dairy product, and is completely edible (safe to eat), although I'd suggest eating it before it hardens if you really feel the need as eating rock-hard bits of old dairy product does not sound even remotely enjoyable.
In my experience, although that is so far only making one batch, I find the still-wet product to smell vinegary, which will go away as it dries, so the resulting product will likely not have a strong scent either pleasant or unpleasant.
The type of vinegar used won't really affect this process working, although it may have other effects, such as changing the scent of the product, or colour. The vinegar is just acting as an acid. Anything else acidic would probably also work, like lemon juice.
You can use various kinds of milk. They will have an effect on the quantity and perhaps quality of the product, but you can use whatever you have available.
The thing the curdles the milk is the acid in the vinegar. Your stomach produces acid to break down food. Consider what this means happens in your stomach any time you consume milk, regardless of whether you consume it with an acid.
Your opinions do not alter reality. This IS a plastic. It qualifies under the IUPAC definition, which is far more relevant than what plastics are in common speech.
Unless you have some meaningful source to back up your disagreement, or wish to get into a more philosophical argument of why being "synthetic" fundamentally changes what something is (I don't believe it does), you're simply in denial.
It seems to me it's a plastic unlike any other plastic. Because casein has to have a specific, complex sequence of monomers unlike any other synthetic or semi-synthetic plastic - to remain solid. If you digested it with a cysteine protease, it would probably become irreversibly mushy. By the IUPAC definition, gelatin and isinglass are also plastics, and are closer to what we think of as most synthetic plastics because thet are copolymers of GLY,PRO, and HYP. (And btw so are things like agar-agar.)
Salmagundiii Yeah, I can't find any info suggesting casein polymers are in any meaningful way different from most polymers, or anything about how it reacts with a cysteine protease specifically. Supply additional info?
Also, I don't even know what you're talking about at the end. Like, I could not interpret what you were attempting to say.
the formula of plastic is board,white glue,ink,water ok
seigeengine so, I finnally found someone who understands plastic and etc.
yes, once it dries it is water proof.
I discovered that if you microwave the malleable material in the required mould made out of microwaveable material you can make it harden in 5 minutes
Can you explain it again it sounds very interesting
It's Cheese! I used to raise goats and made lots of cheese. but I never thought of it for sculpting it never lasted long enough for that, it was just to tasty. Thanks for the new spin on an old recipe!
I was looking to see if someone mentioned this!
Thank you epic you've just made a problem I was having with a project i was working on easy. I thank god that he put this in your mind to share with us he blesses everyone with god given talents. Youve just made my job easier. Thanks again bro man.
LOL you shouldn't make homemade die(dice), people will think they're loaded
@jesternario Definitely use whole milk. I think the reduced milks would yield less plastic.
Its not plastic actually, as someone commented below, its actually a cheese, can be called as cottage cheese. It will disintegrate if comes in contact with water as it will absorb it and will probably smell as well.
@Hskateboards good question, the ratio between the milk and the vinegar is important. So, to get more plastic you need both more vinegar and more milk.
@AllHawaiianboy Yes, once the plastic is hardened it can be spray painted.
@itachi1303 lol! Good point. I think maybe I would make the ten sided die out of cardboard first then just add the plastic coating. that might work.
@444hen
It's not dangerous at all
It does smell like vinegar and milk
inside is ok unless you are making a lot of it
Not much of an experiment per se, just a process for making plastic
@Gamer32Video lol, yes, it does smell rather pungent, its all the vinegar. But, once it dries there is no smell whatsoever.
@itsvictheslick No, once it dries there is no smell at all.
@300spartanswin You do a lot of projects and have lot of fun! This is awesome. Be creative! It was the skim milk. Try again, use whole milk. the accidental vinegar was probably ok.
Ok
no, never will rot. I still have my dice, they are perfect and its two years now.
@MidgetBoy7331 no, it hardens to plastic.
@AllHawaiianboy Good question but I don't think so. You just would need so much of it and it takes too long to dry. In a large size like that it would be difficult to dry. That resin is such a pain though, expensive too.
@miush1000 I am not sure, maybe. they make special sprays for mold releasing.
@panzuman I have been thinking about trying the acetone method. Supposed to work really well but the acetone is a cautious inducing thing. Thanks for the suggestion.
@BoomBetStudio Its a little denser and heavy than normal plastic.
@miush1000 no, I rarely use it with the resin. It seems to be fine with my molds. I would be more prone to use a mold release with big or complex molds.
When I'd make tofu it'd always turn out like this. Didn't know I was literally making plastic
Tofu isn't made from milk
@@Trtlman instead of milk it's soy, basically the same thing
Nice work! Great way to improvise!
@shahinpar lol, no, its not cheese. hardens just like plastic
@tjwaldemar It takes at least a day to harden. Put it on a radiatior to speed it up. It becomes as hard as normal plastic. really
merci :)
I made dagger blade with it, nice color for a faux bone
(next time, i will try without vinegar but sodium borate)
Thanks for making this video! How long does this plastic last before it deteriorates & will it mold?
As a cool side note, powdered casein made from milk can be used as a binder with a pigment to make paint. It's brittle when dry, so you can't use it on canvas, but it's fine for painting a mural on a wall.
@H4xorBoy Thanks for the suggestion. I will put a resin tutorial on my list. Its very useful and good for a lot of stuff.
This is Awesome! Thanks for sharing this. I actually used this method to fix a broken rc remote antenna base that broke.. :) I painted it black and shaved it down. You can hardly tell that it was broken thanks again!!!!!
@AmateurFilmStudios I am not sure what happened here. Once it hardens it should have no smell at all. none whatsoever! has yours dried yet? It takes time
Great video! Always fun to watch and learn! Love the cat at the end too! It made my cat's ears perk up! I'm designing my own tabletop RPG and I think some homemade dice would go perfectly!
Very interesting.Thanks for sharing.
If you knew what you were talking about, you'd know Casein was used to make some of the earliest plastics, especially when mixed with formaldehyde.
Want some food? Oh, we're out of milk.
@Digitalman271 It's really strong and no smell at all.
@binhdo12 It smells funny now but when it hardens there will be no smell at all.
@Hennres Good job with the plastic. Yes, this will be suitable for use in a two part rubber mold. Have fun!
@Agarlicabreadacheese Yes, you can heat it up in a pan and it works just as well. Just don't boil it. And thanks! Food coloring is a great idea!
If you drink coffee or tea with milk in it, put some lemon juice in that (because you added a bit too much sugar) and you'll casein, alright. Right there in the cup. Actually, the vinegar is bit more concentrated as to acid. And non-fat milk works the best.
That is just too cool. I am going to have try that with my son. I don't know if I could drink milk again after seeing this though. :p

"How to turn your strainer into a bowl" haha
thank you for sharing this sir. i really enjoyed it. It will really help me with my Toy custom business as i am venturing into making my own plastic molds for figures.IM thinking also to add some coloring to have its own color. i might just experiment on that one too. Thanks again

This is perfect this is just what I need😄😊👍🏻!!! Okay so I need to boil milk for 2 minutes and add white vinegar and then I have my very own plastic so I can make my very own things that I wanna make from it😄😎😊👍🏻!!!
@Mr420rush yes , use whole milk
After looking all day I loved this the best. I needed to repair the bottom of my microwave,where the wheel de stroyed the plastic. Could not use the ones where you used acetone,as it's flammable. Made more then you did,but I put it in bottom of microwave,flattened with a large spoon and let it dry.Couple hrs later put on wheel and glass tray and Perfect. Wheel spins ,no fire and almost like new. Thanks!
You know what you could do, for dice...You could punch BB's through the sides of the cardboard to give the dice their dimples on the different sides. Then take a light sanding to them to soften the rough edges.
Thanks, I had to do something. I didn't want to throw it away but hated how it looked and couldn't find anything to buy for it. Gr8 post!!
press it together tightly and work it like clay,
@SuperHighandmighty You are very welcome! thanks for watching!
@alman53 No, once the plastic sets it isn't water soluble. It will remain as plastic.
How long does it take to harden?
How strong does it become?
@likamuffin The Book is: "Amazing Leonardo DaVinci Inventions you can build yourself" by Maxine Anderson.
@hoppinglion01 Maybe, but it takes so long to dry. I have to look up that technique on making rice into wood glue. Sounds interesting.
Perfect. A video that can teach me how to make something % of all products.
@H4xorBoy no, I think this would be too difficult for this project. Too big.
I was skeptical that this was a real plastic and not just hard cheese, but I guess it actually is plastic.
"Plastics are a group of materials that may look or feel different, but can all be molded into varied shapes. The similarities and differences between different plastic products come down to the molecules that comprise them. All plastics are composed of molecules that repeat themselves in a chain, called a polymer. Polymers can be chains of either one type of molecule or different ones, which are linked together in a regular pattern. Also, in a polymer, a single repeat of the pattern of molecules is called a monomer, which can consist of just one type of molecule or include several different kinds.
Milk contains many molecules of a protein called casein. Each casein molecule is a monomer and a chain of casein monomers is a polymer. The polymer can be scooped up and molded, which is why plastic made from milk is called casein plastic." -Scientjfic American
@Mctavish94 I was wondering where that bowl went!
@Outlookhazy good eye, I labeled these dice wrong.
Your videos are really cool! I have subscribed :D
Did you know that "curing" milk with vinegar is a baker's way of making a substitute for buttermilk?
@tommie314101 nope, not at all. It hardens just like plastic
@HipieofBSA Goog question and it does make a difference. I can't however remember. I recommended, in the video the best milk.
thanks! Been looking for semi-easy projects to do with 6 yo DS this summer. We'll try it!
@xXxSOADcOvErMaNxXx no, this is no good for molding. It shrinks a lot when drying.
its a plasric-LIKE substance. Yes, casein protein is used in cheese, but when this stuff dries, it has the same physical properties as a rock. (So you could, in theory, have a pet casein instead of a pet rock)
@fluido82 lol, no but i think he smelled the milk and it made him hungry.
@rockingmeerkat lol, he smells the milk I am using to make plastic
And now a question to the content-producer. After you put the wet product into your die molds, it appears very smooth. Is this a trick of the video, or was it actually smooth? My product is rather lumpy, even after being pressed into the molds. I can probably smooth it down after it dries, but if it should already be able to hold a smooth surface... I don't know if I've done something wrong or what.
this is cottage cheese, we call it 'paneer' in India. But the thought of making it into dice or some sturdy thing never occured to me! innovative, but wasted food, which can taste soooo good if you just add some sugar syrup to it!
Great video!! But does the plastic smell bad?
@RANGER2D Thanks! I was going to look this up to check on it.
@1zacster Nice work, it does take a while to strain. A coffee filter helps too.
That's not actual plastic. It's just the milk proteins separated from the milk liquid, and because it's proteins, it shrinks when fully done. However for all of you who say it's not worth for shit, it is useful for making some things airtight, isolation or other thing. But if u wanna make a precise mold or anything, here's my advise. Make it bigger than u want it to be and then using a knife precisely try to sculpt what you need.
Cheers!
The question I have is if you can demonstrate how resilient it is to heat
yes
@LordJonRay I bet he was trying to make paints. He did a lot of that.
@ZACKWOLFWALKER I believe you can but I am not sure of the recipe with them
Dried milk works even better than fresh. Higher casein content. I was able to pull plastic from the same batch twice before it was exhausted.
i though milk plus vinegar make cheese?
It does
HPCY it does
That plastic is edible
what kind of milk did you use? will any kind of milk work? how about powdered milk - - do we need to add water to powdered milk?
Any milk
ha I had the same thing in mind.. we should work together on finding a way to make our own plastic sheets for vacuum forming! right now i am melting styrofoam with acetone and turning that into sheets. Ill let you know if it works.
Just a minor note-- the opposing sides of a die always add up to seven. For instance, on the opposite side of the six is the one, the opposite side of the five the two, etc. Just FYI!!
@yiffy4ever It gets to be rock hard. Don't know if it will shatter though.
@ZombieNewb Once they solidy they can't go back to malleable.
@shahinpar Cheese is made from bacteria interacting with milk, not from a chemical reaction with vinegar.
not really. but yes, in a way, in that certain elements being there and certain concentrations/pH ranges do it. Stones form usually because certain enzymes that process waste are missing, allowing that process to occur and stones to form. A good thought on your behalf though
When your friends ask why it always smells like spoiled milk when they play dnd in your basement
@runescapeli1 This is a great question. I really don't know. Probably not.
made a seahorse...It did go moldy but Im going to try it again but adding a few drops of T-tree essence to the vinegar as that zapped fungus...I liked the white finish but yes it is cheese really....plastic just means 'mouldable' so it is plastic of a kind and way more green than those oil-based ones
great question! Hmm.. but I don't thnk so. It's the milk.
It s a really simple type of cheese and can harden into firmly.
This is so much real! I'm glad I'm not the only one here to know that! :)
Easiest way to make plastic all you need is glue, ink and some molds to shape it
I'm glad that this makes plastic but since this uses milk, after a while will it start to spoil and rot?
