So more soap bubbles, leaves more tiny voids as they pop. Very cool. As far as priming, what if you mix the smallest pea-gravel into your bentonite/ or mortar mix and sand . We all know that the larger the aggregate the easier it will rock pack. The more you experiment, you’re likely to find solutions. And have fun , thank you Scott. These videos are very entertaining 😂
@@victorvillasana3409 So what’s always been interesting to me is, the roughest mixes I’ve ever pumped have actually been pea-gravel. I believe so much of it comes down to the proportions of fine/mid/large materials in the mix. We have a 40mm stone mix which we see on occasion, and it actually pumps great (through a boom obviously). I’m thinking the same as you, we mix up some dish soap into a bucket of concrete and try it out as a primer. 🤔🤔🤔
Don’t forget about the 2-3 gallons of water you added to the mix too. Then after the soap and water was added you mixed it again which you’re really not supposed to do, to an excessive level.
@@psidvicious 💯 My buddy Dann who’s been in a good few videos on the channel here had said the same thing. All that water definitely not helping the water/cement ratio any.
Hi Scott Thank you for showing us this I watched your first video and loved it I have been using the dawn dish soap for two weeks and it been great I uses it for priming out and suking back with two sponge balls with a 5 gallon bucket of water and dawn it's ben great the Suds works the best
@@MichaelLemay-yr3ur it definitely is a great multi-purpose tool for keeping in the pumps. I’m looking forward to do an actual 28 day strength test on it in the lab. I’m sure after this video, we all know what the results will be (not stellar) 😂😂😂
Hey scott. Can you do one on some frozen concrete next? Would love to see the effects of icy temperatures on concrete. I've heard it doesn't go off at all when it's frozen.
Years ago did, some excavation at the Lafarge cement plant in Exshaw Alberta. The guys from the lab got me to break up some of the test samples that they just dump out behind their building and they were checking out how it broke up and some of the samples the aggregate was consistantly breaking with the concrete not staying whole the bond was that strong. Also if you ever get a chance to check out a cement plant do it.
I’m hoping to dig into videos like this a little deeper, and also get into some more of the behind the scenes operations. Most of the suppliers in it region are larger corporate type operations with stringent safety and liability policies, so it could be easier said than done, but I will try my damndest!!!

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 I want to try it with line pumping I use a 4 inch and 3 inch hose when I line pump here in Massachusetts
@@MichaelLemay-yr3ur My biggest concern is that I seemingly compromises the strength of the concrete. Further testing to come 😁😁😁

That was a _Pritty Good_ Test.
it gives a decent (intuitive) "Feel" for what happens
Good slickem!! Try it for those tough prime outs! And it to mortor mix and that slick Willie stuff? Even the plastic bag staging!!

11:46 anyone have strange thoughts on this scene?
@@thomashardin911 Lol!!!! Noth’N strange about it friend…. Noth’N strange about it 😂😂😂
Maybe you can compare it with sugar?
@@perbogren6955 that would be a great test indeed! 👌👌👌
Long video, i feel cemented to the screen! 🤣
@@thomashardin911 I see what you did there…. 😉
The lots of dawn might be good for making movie prop rocks... Where you need it to look like concrete but also be able to break it easily
Nice you did it MythBusters style👍
Keep it flowing ,:
@@ulrichbrossmann1225 The Dawn dish soap most definitely does that! 👍👍👍
What did you use to save it?
I want to see the slump test
Sugar or soda works best.
@@mr.shannon6137 Absolutely!!!

Definitely need to get a formal, 28 days “break test” on some samples in the lab Darin.
So we shall call you Mick Jagger from now on? You both love brown sugar.

For an unscientific test you seem to be doing a lot of sciency things
