    not a very good technique by the fellow and the method/procedure used its bad. usually you dont attack directly the sample with stain or water or whatever you pour on it. heat its not bad at all, just not direclty for more than 5 sec, like in flames works good enough... air dry could contaminate your sample and/or could have alive bacteria (wich isnt bad at all either but it depends on what you want, generaly dont want alive bacteria so you dont contaminate more tools in your lab).

    Sorry, I couldn't watch all the video because of the music, but otherwise what I did see was informative. That kind of cheesy not-even techno-kinda royalty free noise is just too pervasive for some people to focus on what they actually want to hear.
