Imagine seeing your neighbours outside, dressed in lab coats, wearing face shields and ventilator masks, and then one of them says gleefully "Time for dangerous chemicals!"
@@monad_tcp It is. You're at serious danger of becoming blind if you splash concentrated NaOH solution into your eyes. Just because it doesn't cause cancer, eat your skin or poison you doesn't mean it's harmless. Compare it to pellet guns. They don't kill, but if you treat them like any other toy, you're going to loose an eye.
@@demonchilde6664 Nah, it was in the beginning of a movie, they were in a containment lab opening some package that had a doll in it, he moved the doll's arm and it started spraying something out the doll's mouth at them.

@@syberphish I thought this sounded familiar so I dug around the movie is called The Rock, it wasn’t the vents that didn’t come on it was the sprinkler! Good movie!
As a laboratory technician.... please close your coats if you want them to protect you 🙈. The open part in the front is one of the most likely spots you will get chemicals on. Love you both
I am being humble when I am telling you that I am the most powerful strongest coolest smartest most famous greatest funniest Y*uTub3r of all time! That's the reason I have multiple girlfriends and I show them off on my ch*nnel all the time! Bye bye eile
@@AxxLAfriku don't know if your kidding or not. But saying that you "show them off" when talking about your girlfriends kinda makes it seem like your objectifying them (or being a bit sexist, maybe unknowingly), also having multiple girlfriends doesn't make you cool, at least in my opinion.(I have no issue with people having multiple partners, unless they don't know that you have multiple partners.) Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, or missing a joke. Have a nice day.
Evan & Katelyn: talk about safety, with gas masks and visors on, but leave their lab coats open and also Evan is wearing shorts me, lab technician: I feel the responsibility to tell you that's not how lab coats work, but other than that, keep going
me, a chemist who has my lab coat sleeves rolled up to my elbows, doesn’t wear glasses regularly, and only wears gloves with solvents that will damage my nail polish: 👀👀
@@jaymek8282 You better not actually work with harsh chemicals- And if so, Please please please wear safety equipment! I, a true sensitive softie, am getting uncomfortable just thinking about what could happen with bad chemicals- I don't like the idea of radioactive chemical burns.😬
Hey, hydrogen peroxide expert here, y'all were so close with snotty! Take what you learned with the toluene substitute, swap the alcohol for that in a similar way to cleaning with alcohol and then move on to the resin before the toluene fully evaporates and I think you'll really be there! Also, I think the sanding helped not only because it's thinner but because the surface finish makes a big difference both in the chemical interaction and the light refraction (being able to see through it)
I would love to know what you do that makes you a hydrogen peroxide expert. And because tone is hard to convey over the internet, I mean that genuinely. Is it in a medical sence, a bio-chem thing? You have me fascinated.
You could try stabilizing resin, Peter Brown has used it a few times on his channel. Stabilizing resin is made to be vacuum infused into materials and when it’s cured it doesn’t encase the item in a block.
If I recall, the experiments were performed using wood that was cut across the grain. Thus allowing the chemicals to enter the straw-like tubes of the open end grain. This also explains why the wood in the other videos were so fragile, especially after the multiple chemical washings breaking down the cellular structure.
33:22 part of me wonders if the lack of "full opacity" is actually due to the roughness of the surface of the wood. like headlights that have gone hazy, it's not that the plastic isn't clear anymore it's just surface scratches. So if you've got some really fine sandpaper lying around maybe give it a scrub with that and see if it gets smoother, and see if the opacity improves even further.
when having to pour things out of a can like that Xylene, try turning it around so the spout is at the top instead of the bottom, you get a more controlled pour
Evan: "There's no such thing as overkill when it comes to safety!" Also Evan: *wearing shorts while handling dangerous chemicals and doesn't read warnings on other dangerous chemicals* Edit: oh, wow. This got more likes than I expected. Thanks!
Have you guys heard of stabilising resin? It's purposely designed to be absorbed into things and sounds like its exactly what you need. Peter Brown has some videos on it!
im pretty sure that the reason your wood wasnt perfectly clear is that fact that it was cut WITH the grain instead of AGAINST the grain. It would help the chemicals and resin penetrate much easier and give you a better result.
I think this is a common "error" with the other clear wood videos. Cutting against the grain results in a pretty brittle piece, the wood grain having long connection points is one of the things that gives it stability. It's a difficult call to make, along with the thickness of the wood.
I'm pretty sure Nilered tested that in his video as well and it did work better, but was more fragile/ pretty much dissolved after the bleaching...? I'd think the addition of resin might make it durable enough for that, if they get it in the resin before it breaks down too much. I also think a thinner resin, like maybe a stabilizing resin might work better in actually getting in the wood grain?
I love the videos on this channel. Katelyn's editing, the passion they put into their projects, the pranks and just general entertainment of how well they interact with each other makes every video highly entertaining, regardless of the project - home improvements, DIY vs Buy, Resin, Art, Woodworking etc. Even tho they make mistakes sometimes like not reading instructions or levelling their projects, it's clear they put a lot of thought into preparing for each project and trying to give it the best chance of success. Evan and Katelyn are such passionate and efficient people, I wish there was a way they could achieve these videos with even more efficiency (and less stress) to get as many videos as possible; I know they're busy all the time with streaming, podcasts, searching for a house now etc so I'm glad they still have so much passion and dedications for all their projects, even ones like this where the end result is basically a piece of paper turned into a coaster.
As someone who wears a science robe professionally, that roller-coaster of ups and downs is like, the definition of science. It's about learning and discovery and a WHOLE lot of failure to get those stunning moments of success. Its all about trial and error! So carry-on and wear those robes with pride!
I make soap from scratch and use lye in full concentration (versus the 10% solution they had). Having it already diluted in water helps a TON, as most of the chemical reaction, heat, vapors, etc occur when full concentration lye is added to water (something that has to be done before mixing with oils for soap). Never can be too careful, though!
As a chemist I had a serious heart-attack when you guys said toluene and several small ones watching you handle the xylene. Glad you didn't hurt yourselves.
@@exceptionaluser4153 also mixing the epoxy with the ethanol without checking with the manufacturer first. Also doing the 'safe' step evaporation wise, the hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide in a well ventilated area, but then taking that actually dangerous organic solvent inside. And then there's sealing the container with the easily evaporated solvent inside. Good way to suddenly find your container exploded if the temperature rises just a tiny bit.
In my line of work, cancer rates used to be pretty high. What I found out later is that in the past (around the same time that cancer rates were noticed) they would coat their arms in toluene based glue solvents to cool themselves off in the summer, because it evaporated so quickly. Combined with a general lack of safety around these chemicals, yea it makes sense that people were getting cancer.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, just an ex biochem lab prep tech/hazmat certified biochem engineering student (genuinely not like a brag or self agrandisement if it sounded like it was) but wouldn't toluene be safer than comparable acetone concentrations and volumes (and handling) Or is it significantly more volatile than acetone and thusly more dangerous despite being less toxic? Again genuinely asking since I'm less educated
This was the very first video I watched of you guys, two years ago, and I was immediately hooked. I watched all your videos and sometimes I do reruns, like I am now. Thanks for all the good times!
I worked in universities, chemists are notorious for having extremely relaxed views on lab safety. As a biochemist I would never work in a chemistry lab.
@@jacobgoodwin4992 my uncle would agree with you 100%. he was always terrified one of his assistants would cause an accident because they were so absent-minded. he would say they'd have one million things going on, but it was important to compartmentalize your brain one million ways or you could kill yourself. they worked with chemical reactions, so it was critical to be safe while working quickly on experiments.
“We’re just two people in a garage with chemicals” If those two people weren’t wholesome Katelyn and Evan, that sentence could lead somewhere veerryyy different 😆
...I don't know about that. They did seem a bit too invested in turning Animal Crossing into a cult/mafia game and were planning on adding blood splatters to the ground. Maybe we should be a tad bit concerned. 😱 😅 😉
@@EffortlessEthanlow concentrations it can cause dizziness, nausea and kidney damage. in high concentrations it can cause internal bleeding, seizures and death.

I’m sorry, but this definitely isn’t a “science adjacent” video. There’s too much science. I think that this video deserves Katelyn’s “Science Time” song. Edit: Oh look there is the glorious Science Time!!
"We're just two people with a garage and some chemicals" yeah no, don't sell yourselves short. You're just two people with a garage and some of the most creative minds I've ever witnessed.
“Katelyn’s already in her pjs too” when is Katelyn not in her pjs 😂💕 Ps even though it’s not 100% “clear” I think it’s cool you can still see the grain and see through it!
a tip for pouring stuff out of annoyingly shaped cannisters, have the hole be on top and start pouring from there instead of having the hole be lower than the majority of the liquid. this allows air to move freely so no gulping happens and it can help in the liquid coming straight out of the can instead of following along the side of it and dripping off from the bottom. Hopefully this message is understandable XD
As a professional chemist: I'm impressed by your safety measures! Good job you two. I may have been screaming at the screen when Evan covered his gloves in xylene to take them off though.
I just want to let you guys know that your channel is the only one I'm subbed to that I don't skip your in-video "commercials" that you guys do for your sponsors; they are always Soo entertaining! Keep up the awesome work!! 😎
Imagine if we get to a point of completely see through wood that when we drive a nail through it once it's done, we can see the nail in it's entirety in the wood.
Just imagine what they would assume they were doing. Like, "Honey, why are the neighbors shining purple light on wood." "I'm not sure maybe something about resin, they're obsessed with it.'
@29:35 Hot tip just for the future! You're pouring that can upside down, that's why the air isn't able to get into the can to replace its volume and allow it to flow smoothly! Same works for juice boxes, etc!
29:43 Guys "life hack" when a can or bottle has a hole closer to one side, as oppose to be in the center, is easier to pour placing the hole in the top, in that way air can enter the can or bottle without need to push through the liquid and therefore making pouring easier. It's one of those things that suppose to be common knowledge but actually nobody knows it and since I learn about it, I cannot understand why brands don't print an explanation of the proper use in the can or bottle.
next time try to degas the epoxy/wood with not as strong of a vacuum. When you reduce the pressure too much, you end up boiling off the solvents in the epoxy rather than just extracting the air. A good method is to slowly reduce the pressure in chamber and stop as soon and you see some bubbles coming out of the sample. Then when the bubbles stop, try reducing the pressure until more bubbles can be seen. If the whole thing appears to be boiling like it does at 11:38 , the pressure is too low!
I don't think that would work, cuz kazoo produces sound by humming into it, not blowing into it and I don't think pressure pots can humm. But it would be still interesting to try.
I forget the name...but the resin for stability with wood would be perfect too...stabilising resin...( I thiiink ) also maybe it’s called ( cactus juice ) it’s a lot thinner, almost water thin and you vacuum it a few times, then bake it. Such a good vid, as usual guys

Katelyn should wear her hair in buns like that for the videos. It's so cute. I'd also love to see her do space buns
kaitlyn: has voice crack
“did i just go through puberty?”
I was thinking the same exact thing!
"Two people with a garage and some chemicals" is the alternate title of the channel.
25:25 "This is the only one we have time for..." *bends it so hard*
"We're just two people with a garage and some chemicals" yeah no, don't sell yourselves short. You're just two people with a garage and some of the most creative minds I've ever witnessed.
Are they in jars !!?
“Katelyn’s already in her pjs too” when is Katelyn not in her pjs 😂💕
Ps even though it’s not 100% “clear” I think it’s cool you can still see the grain and see through it!
haha you have a good point about the PJs
31:40 I love her eyeliner it's so cute!
I love that in their videos they show the mistakes rather than edit them out.
"The only difference between screwing around and science is recording your results!"
*writing it down
@@minehermit recording your data is actually writing it down too. It just means to take note of your data
@@sammcd4 thats not the quote tho
You should do this again! Make a project out of the clear wood and see how much you guys have progressed!
Is this video the start of their descent into mad scientists? They already have science time and science robes...
the start?!?!
@@de4830 your right this is their final form
Resin: Exist
Evan and Katelyn: Il TAkE YouR EnTIRe SToCK!
i love that you guys are always writing the captions 💕
Everything in their garage: 👁 👁
as is right and proper
@@EvanAndKatelyn correct
I'm definitely going to buy some googly eyes once I move out. They just make everyone happier.
I recently began singing to my dog when I make breakfast. "Bagel time, bagel time, do do do do, bagel time". He thinks I'm crazy.
a tip for pouring stuff out of annoyingly shaped cannisters, have the hole be on top and start pouring from there instead of having the hole be lower than the majority of the liquid. this allows air to move freely so no gulping happens and it can help in the liquid coming straight out of the can instead of following along the side of it and dripping off from the bottom. Hopefully this message is understandable XD
As a professional chemist: I'm impressed by your safety measures! Good job you two. I may have been screaming at the screen when Evan covered his gloves in xylene to take them off though.
"And you can't argue with science"
Flat earthers: wellllllllll...
Flat earthers: I’m just gonna ignore that like real people in Australia they’re all actors
You can't argue with flat earthers though
Evan and Katelyn - "You're going to like the way your wood looks"
I just want to let you guys know that your channel is the only one I'm subbed to that I don't skip your in-video "commercials" that you guys do for your sponsors; they are always Soo entertaining! Keep up the awesome work!! 😎
Imagine if we get to a point of completely see through wood that when we drive a nail through it once it's done, we can see the nail in it's entirety in the wood.
Imagine a coffin out of clear wood.
"we're just two people with a garage and some chemicals" evey methlab ever
You could have titled it “What WOOD clear wood look like”
10/10 pun 👏👏👏
@@EvanAndKatelynJoke of the year goes to Art x 2 👏👏
Wood it clear?
LoL
@@pauln4056 maybe it wood
"Science adjacent with Evan and Katelyn, yeahh" - I love it so much
Same 😂
Evan and Katelyn literally have the best ads. It's like.... part of the video.... I kinda look forward to them
Now I crave a collab between you and NileRed! Make this happen!
i can just imagine their neighbors looking out and seeing some wood being hung up with uv light on it XD
Just imagine what they would assume they were doing. Like, "Honey, why are the neighbors shining purple light on wood." "I'm not sure maybe something about resin, they're obsessed with it.'
@29:35 Hot tip just for the future! You're pouring that can upside down, that's why the air isn't able to get into the can to replace its volume and allow it to flow smoothly! Same works for juice boxes, etc!
Katelyn: Foam resin
Me: just confused really confused
E&K need a new house, so they bring a realtor to sell at the current house: "What changes have you made to the house?"
E&K: "Umm...."
All of them
“We spent money on that” made me laugh so hard idk why😂
Katelyn: "we spent money on that?"
Also Katelyn: *disgusted face*
Watching Evan and Katelyn videos is the definition of a virtual hug... for some reason I just had that realization
when you watch evan and katelyn not only get fun science-y and crafty stuff, you also get jokes and great eyeliner
When Katelyn is covered by almost everything in the intro 😆 (like the UV light, wood)
Out of context E&K: “You’re gonna like the way your wood looks” hahahaha
lol xD
I swear they are one of the most fun couples to watch and they don’t do chanllenges all the time and y’all deserve more subs
I really loved this concept of doing a scientific thing with a study and testing it out! it was so cool!
29:43 Guys "life hack" when a can or bottle has a hole closer to one side, as oppose to be in the center, is easier to pour placing the hole in the top, in that way air can enter the can or bottle without need to push through the liquid and therefore making pouring easier.
It's one of those things that suppose to be common knowledge but actually nobody knows it and since I learn about it, I cannot understand why brands don't print an explanation of the proper use in the can or bottle.
next time try to degas the epoxy/wood with not as strong of a vacuum. When you reduce the pressure too much, you end up boiling off the solvents in the epoxy rather than just extracting the air. A good method is to slowly reduce the pressure in chamber and stop as soon and you see some bubbles coming out of the sample. Then when the bubbles stop, try reducing the pressure until more bubbles can be seen. If the whole thing appears to be boiling like it does at 11:38 , the pressure is too low!
Heck ya we have the day off school so relaxing and watching UA-cam all day
Next project, figure out how to attach a child's kazoo to the exhaust port of the pressure pot.
Yes!!!!
I don't think that would work, cuz kazoo produces sound by humming into it, not blowing into it and I don't think pressure pots can humm. But it would be still interesting to try.
Alternative: screaming chicken head
I forget the name...but the resin for stability with wood would be perfect too...stabilising resin...( I thiiink ) also maybe it’s called ( cactus juice ) it’s a lot thinner, almost water thin and you vacuum it a few times, then bake it. Such a good vid, as usual guys
I feel like every video is Katelyn auditioning to be a Disney princess... and it's a-goddamned-dorable! Love you two!
