Great job! It’s beautiful!
So wait can't I use 3% and iodide instead of yeast?
Great video! 👍🏻👍🏻 I did almost the exact same thing a few years back except I used a wire brush for removing most of the char and helping reveal the detail of the wood grain.
So should we just seal right after we purchase pieces that can do this?
Where do I purchase
Good job
Hi Sir how to get rid of algae? Thanks
In the beginning it was empty, then you filled it up so you can drain it. What is this? time wasting video?
The world can be a complicated place. Best of luck to you!
Can you pre-dissolve the crystals to use later? Or will the effect wear off?
I have tried this. It works fine for longer term storage. The only thing that happened is that the concentrated liquid turned yellowish after a while. It was no longer clear. If you don't mind that it will keep for a while.
I can’t seem to find the concrete stain spray anywhere. Are there any other suggestions you might have?
Amaziiing
is the foam safe for play after it cools down
It is not recommended to touch or handle the foam. This is because the hydrogen peroxide used in these experience is higher concentration than normal - and - some of the unreacted hydrogen peroxide could be present in the foam and surrounding areas. Hydrogen peroxide at this concentration can be an irritant and is not safe to touch without protective gloves. Please remember to follow all manufacturer safety labels and use precautions. Enjoy your experiments!
@@HowTo-D2how do you clean up the foam then? I’m doing this for school
You can clean it up like any soapy mess, just with water and a rag for example. Remember the foamy material from the reaction is basically soap and water. I think the previous comment was asking more about playing with the foamy bubbles. It's not recommended to play with it just in case there is some remaining H2O2, however clean up is fairly straight forward. You can also use gloves while cleaning up just to be on safe side.
@@HowTo-D2 ok thank you so much!! I really appreciate the fast and helpful response on such an old video, the video and the comment is really gonna help me oht
@@sylar4906Sure thing. Enjoy your experiments and be safe!
How deep did you dig for the concrete base for the footing for the 10 ft. posts
Hi there, thanks for watching. It was about 18 inches deep.
great any sign of sagging?
@@jeremyryan3829 It's been about 2-1/2 years and no sagging at all. Everything is still looking great.
that charing process is also known as shou sugi ban or yakisugi. An old Japanese method of preventing rot and insects from destroying wood.
Thank you for this comment. Your thoughts are much appreciated. Thanks for watching.
Awesome work. I really enjoyed this video.
So glad you like it. Thanks for watching and have yourself a great day.
Love it. After 2 years now how does it hold up?
The refinish lasted pretty well for about 2.5 years. I just did another refinish to touch up recently. The calcium in our area is just so heavy. For areas with less calcium I would imagine the finish lasting a lot longer. Thanks for watching.
Hi there, this is brilliant. Thank you for sharing. How do I find the links for the products?
Hi there, thanks for watching. I have links to products in the description of the video. Hope this helps!
Basically, the patina is gone. European old fountains are gorgeous. Your ended looking shiny. Great job. I want to refurbish mine to look old patina. I'l need to find a different product.
Hi there, thanks for watching. Agreed, the seal coat can come in glossy or matte, depending on the look and finish that is desired. Good luck on your fountain.
Looks super pretty😍 can you stain it a different color?
Yes absolutely. There are typically many stain color options. Thanks for watching!
That is amazing. I have a smaller fountain that sits on my balcony and I’m going to do this! Thanks for the great video! You were an amazing teacher. ❤
Thanks for much for the kind words. Good luck on your project, I'm sure it will turn out great.
Bro I have my own foundation their is paint I want to remove
I have the same issue with my three tier fountain. Our water is terrible. Did the calcium build up come back? Is there a way to help prevent it from overrunning again?
Hi there, yes unfortunately the calcium continues to build up. I occasionally take a Brillo / scouring pad to wipe away the build up. It's sort of my regular maintenance in between re-sealing periods. I will usually reseal once every couple years so long as I go out and do a wipe down once every couple weeks or so. Thanks for watching, and for the comment.
Did this turn white over time . I have a sealer that failed and surface turning white. Xylene helps to get rid of the white but it comes back . I am in the market for a new sealer and was wondering if this one holds up

Thanks for the video. I have a beautiful elephant head fountain that needs cleaning and repainting. The back of the fountain the that elephant head is mounted to is black and the elephant head is painted gold. I hope I get it looking at least half as good as the job you have done restoring yours. I am in no way a handyman. I live in Australia so will have to see what products I can get locally.
Thanks for watching and for the comment. I'm sure your refinish project will go well. Best of luck to you.
I love the backyard without even watching the string lights DIY
Thanks so much for the nice comment. Take care.
Soda blast.
Thank you for sharing! Super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
very nice presentation and explanation. i have a doubt that what if we use yeast powder in warm water with 3% hydrogen peroxide
You would get a better reaction with yeast and 3% peroxide.
This was was incredibly helpful! I haven’t come across any other videos that explained how to make the potassium iodide solution. Great reactions as well. Thanks for sharing! Doing this with my class tomorrow. The 3 % with potassium iodide compared to the 30% and also showing them with yeast to compare the results.
I'm so happy this was helpful. Have a great time with your class with those comparisons. Sounds like it will be a lot of fun.
This is very cool
How long have they lasted for you?
There are no stores that carry the rust-oleum semi-transparent concrete spray in brown or any color for that matter. Can you share where you purchased this spray paint? Thanks…
I found the submersible led lights on Amazon but no such luck on the spray paint…
Good Morning, Where did you purchase the Rustoleum semi-transparent spray for the concrete? Thanks Pat
Do you have to touch up the wood once in awhile from all sun exposure
Hi there. Well its been two years and I still haven't had to touch it up. It's holding up really well. Maybe in another year, we'll see. The coat I put on says it's good for 4 years.
I don’t usually leave comment but I have to. This is by far the best DIY light post and tutorial I have seen after watched 10s of videos on RUclips. Looks fantastic!!
That's so nice of you, thanks so much for your comment.
amazing! how did this hold up with time? :)
What is that water siphon that you used to siphon the water out of you fountain called and where can I buy one? I liked your video very much! Very clear instructions on how to.
I provided a link in the description of the video. Thanks for watching!
Chris, did you purchase cool or warm lights? You did a great job!
Thanks so much! I went with warm lights.
Looks great!!!
Thank you for watching!
where can you get one like that?
I would love an update-how did the stain and seal hold up to a couple years of use? We’re about to restain/seal ours because the rampant algae growth keeps eating away the concrete coloring after only a year
U r awesome
Question: Has the sealer started to get white or change at all? Would you still use the same sealer to protect it or would you recommend something else? I'm about to seal mine... Just wanted to make sure it's still remembered.
In my area the calcium is so heavy in the water that I did a touch up of the stain and sealer about a year and a half after this video. In the areas where the sealer had no calcium deposits it still looked fine.
Now do it with an Erlenmeyer flask and watch the foam shoot out!
Yes! :)
Would you be able to show a link for the bracket that goes into the cement?
Hi there, thanks for watching! Take a look at these.

Looks great too bad you can’t make a little pond in the dirt area underneath for fish

What would 12% do?
Add hot water to the Potassium iodide
