i was originally intending to only dispose of the styrofoam in an interesting way but it turns out to be a good way to liquify polystyrene and make it into new shapes.

Support styrofoam airports , everyone
Rinoa Super-Genius your not a genius your an idiot, acetone is toxic, costic, and lethal. It will dissolve your fingers stupid idiot
well it isnt caustic, and it isnt toxic, and it isnt lethal, at least not any more than any other item we are exposed to every day. i suggest you read the data sheets for acetone.
I thought I'd come back and watch this one last time before you kill it, THANKS
umm you're wrong, its a very clean, it doesn't pollute the atmosphere like other volatiles, you really have a big mouth don't you .
I don't know why I'm watching this
One Man Band Woodworks same here no idea why it just looked a bit cool
Same
Same
Me neither. Like watching a road accident; you keep wanting to look away, but just can’t 🤓🙃.
One Man Band Woodworks me too
You'll notice the acetone simply softens the foam so that it collapses into something like chewed bubblegum. Try putting it into lacquer thinner instead, and you'll truly liquefy the foam into a clear liquid that can be used to coat porous materials to waterproof them. I call it "Styro-Kote", but I doubt that I'm the original inventor.
lebomm johnson try putting it in the internet so no one steals it and make themselves the original inventer
lebomm johnson that idea has been around forever
gr8 advice . ty
Terry Sheehan Nothing to stop someone from trademarking it the idea. Otherwise just spread the word and the context as far and wide as you can to make the term generic.
Awesome! Does using lacquer thinner cause it to totally solidify and become rigid?
Time to make a dark joke ready to be deleted. Kids in Vietnam could have eaten that napalm.
I think I know how they did the dissolving floor scene in Alien.
That actually is exactly how they did it
Use painted styrofoam and drops of acetone on the painted styrofoam

I dont know why i fell for this

The only good bug is a dead bug - Starship Troopers.
SoggyOreos lol
replace the acetone with diesel fuel and you've got napalm.
+Anon archist i believe acetone makes napalm too but he waited for it to evaporate.
+Anon archist That already is what all the casuals call "napalm". Real napalm is more like a jell that sprays and sticks to everything after impact.
+Juelz J And polymer thickened gasoline is JUST THAT! Seriously, Thickened gasoline is basically napalm. There are two different types of many variations of napalm, theres WW2 and Korean war era type A and then there's Vietnam type B, Polymer mixed into gasoline is similar to type B napalm, but not evenly processed, so it's thicker, and stickier, but not as much as gel-type Vietnam napalm, same effect and similar composition so it might as well be napalm.
napalm-B is disel fuel with a ploystyrene as the gelling agent. like i said
Anon archist Burns releasing heat over 3000 degrees Celsius, sticks to pretty much everything it touches and can burn for hours on end if a lump of it is large enough. That's type B Napalm... or as i like to call it 'Nampalm.
You know you are just making a crude form of napalm.
I was just thinking the same thing. All I can think of when seeing this was the napalm bombing in Vietnam by USA and how it would look like if it was to get it on your skin. All she would need to add is gasoline and then a fire. Cool video though.
Cyborgslayer404d Yo, I think I saw you comment on a random 'ball lightning' video about an hour ago. Weird.
This isn't really napalm. If you dissolve it in petrol it would be
+duMaurier15 actually you dont need gasoline acetone is flammable by itself so yeah crude napalm
+patrick Tighe That's noting like actual napalm tho. Napalm has oxidizers and other substances to make it burn a lot hotter than some styrofoam puddy.
I know a classmate from long ago who ruined his project because he decided to paint his styrofoam car using a graffiti spray can.
Polvo Corrupto hahaha
That brings me memories. majority of glues also melt styrofoam. I remember that we also ruined many school projects while trying to glue those styrofoam sculptures to the other surfaces
since the people in this comment section are experts pls help
i have in my freezer a ceramic dish with 1M HCl, acetone, h2o2.
do i do something with it? i did research as much as i can but i just couldnt fucking find anything about how to make this stuff.
Why so many dislikes? This video is nice =D
You should also inform that you should wear face mask, because I work with acetone alot and the vapors you have created with this combination and really cause some damage.
Cheers.
And wear gloves. You really do not want that in your blood stream.
Acetone exposure on a once-off basis like this is very unlikely to cause any damage, it is always best to take precautions even with this very low risk but I think its worth being aware the risk is low. There are few chemicals you can buy over the counter that are seriously dangerous from short term exposure.
Working with the stuff is a different story of course and every precaution must be taken.
Really. Read the back label of acetone. Better, read the label on styrine. Read the caution label on gel coat. Its all dangerous even with low exposure.
I think you need to take your own advice and read those labels.
An Acetone label carries a '1' for 'slight' risk to health.
have. and use it everyday. whats your point.
online:DON'T TOUCH THE ACETONE
Rinoa Super-Genius: *stir styrofoam* *grabs styrofoam and plays with it until it turns into a puddy*
me:WTF can i touch it or not
+Chester123569 acetone is fine to touch tbh.
Rinoa Super-Genius what to do if it harden
Chester123569
add more acetone
+Chester123569 acetone is bad for you skin. It dries out your skin if you thouch it too much.
What is puddy? I know what putty is, but not puddy.
+Eric H same thing
It's not spelled "puddy"
Eric H
words dont have to have only one spelling, and you mean that you dont spell it puddy.
Try looking up "puddy" in the dictionary. What do you get?
Eric H
sorry but a dictionary doesnt have any control over the english language, it only reports what it's writer's observe in the english language.
I got really dry skin on my Hands just by watching this
how much time till it's completely hardened?
I'm going to give this to my mother-in-law and say it's marshmallow fluff.
Frosty Fire OMG, I laughed out loud like a lunatic!!!
Much more fun to melt it in gasoline, then use it as a type of sticky napalm.
It will stick to anything and is hard to put out. Even dumping water on it wont do the trick.
3:19 Did you got that insect's permission to film it? It has right for privacy. If you didn't got it's permission, please censor it's face and reupload the video. Thank you for your understanding.
no it doesnt.
Hi guys, I repeated this experiment at home, look what happened!
LOL
Interesting to watch. I wonder if that stuff could be used to make a mold for resin casting. I am going to have to try that.
in the late 60s when i used to do a lot of competition model making i used this idea and also melted sprue from kits in to acetone or liquid polystyrene cement this made the paste you have made however you had to keep liquid in the bottle and air out it was a great filler for models also great for coating rough areas and easy to sand down..
Can use as a glue, can use petrol instead of acetone
if you use gasoline/petrol you have a cheap napalm i just made some today its real easy look up my vid on it i burned a little bit of it and it burns fairly well
found that out all by myself
precinct 1 baltimore county residents
good on u
Petrol will leave an oily residue in the mixture, which isn't a problem if you are going to burn it, but will be a problem if you try to use it for something else.
I don't think it's a good idea to use napalm as glue
You been tripping on some acetone???
Yeah I keep tripping over the can so was wanting to just use the rest up and throw it away. I got a lot of other paint cans I should prolly throw away too. They are just sitting in the opening of my shed and makes it tricky to walk without hitting one.
lol. i was meaning were you tripping out on acetone >.< nvm hehe!
SadamFlu
oh you mean like a drug? lol acetone doesnt do much to you. when i was cleaning the paint off the toaster with acetone i had like 3/4 of the can evaporated into the air in my bathroom. i felt light headed and weird, but it didnt feel enjoyable.
yeah thats what I was meaning, hehe. I think you can get high on it, not sure though. We used to melt polystyrene with petrol, then stick it on a big soup spoon, light it on fire and then throw it onto brick walls and shit. hehe. Have fun Rinoa.
lmao
I watched this years ago and wow your voice has changed it messes with my head and im sure it messes with yours even more sorry if i didnt word this very well
Can you make Glue that stays sticky when its dry ? looking for a homemade re positionable glue help if you can..
Great music. Sounds like a Danny Elfman movie soundtrack.
acetone isnt that bad to touch people, just dont breathe the fumes too much.
thats why he did it outside, i guess
It allows your body to absorb many chemicals quickly. It's bad to mix chemistry with acetone on your hands
Acetone goes straight through your skin into your bloodstream.
Thank you! I was just going to mention Nail Polish Remover... Lol
Does it harden like maybe for glueing items together like epoxy?
For anyone wanting to do this
Gasoline does the same thing but a tip is to add the liquid to the Styrofoam that way you can control how thick it is. Just add a little bit of acetone/gasoline at a time and let it dissolve and once it quits eating add a little more and so on.

I'm I the only one while the first piece of being Dissolved thought it looked like the Titanic
I saw a video where a guy was building prosthetic legs in a 3rd world country. To save money he started using plastic yogurt and milk cartons as the resin (melting them with lacquer thinner) and polyester as the reinforcement cloth.Using a wooden foot with tire tread on the bottom. Dropping the cost from thousands to a few dollars. Local people make them now that they know how.
+ww321 can we make false teeth with it
ww321 that's awesome
What do you think, could you coat a sheet of paper with that stuff while it is still liquid? Does it ever get completely rigid? I'm making a armor using the pepakura-technique at the moment and i'm still looking for a way to give it more thickness without using fiberglass or massive amounts of resin. This looked like a viable option... given it will completely cure and get rigid, that is.
I always thought it was nice how you'd add this type of calming music to your videos.
does it cure firm? it could be used to get some interesting shapes instead of calving a block for a diy aluminium foundry
good idea
I wonder if the extra density would affect the final product in any way.
+Lauren J. I doubt it.. think of the lost wax casting by the Egyptians millennias ago. that sh!ts dense..
best tip for a smooth finish is to dip the shape to be casted in plaster, let it drip dry, forms a smooth tough skin like drywall.. alum will be smooth as silk when set..
LOL, what did you say again.. around 0:25 you said Iv been tripping on acetone XD
It means he was interested i it
+jake mcintyre you dont know how you can trip on something? acetone cans are one of those things that are always laying on the floor in the shed so i always end up accidentally kicking it on the way out of the shed.
+Rinoa Super-Genius cuz your yard is a disaster
When it finally dries ...
will be solid or soft?
what can it be used for?
can anyone tell me what the product is? what's the exact reaction here? I understand that the acetone breaks up the polystyrene molecules into styrene. any further reactions? Would acetone react with styrene to form poly phenyl molecules?
An excellent source of napalm, essential vitamins and minerals! ;)
Well, I know I love the smell of napalm in the morning. As you said, part of a daily balanced breakfast....and victory!
BilltheUnamused Someday this war's gonna end...
Are you a hoarder?
not sure, i do end up using a lot of my stuff for projects though. i do collect a lot but i also throw a good amount of things away.
Is it safe if I use acetone nail polish remover it’ll be okay right or at least safer then the actual acetone
acetone is safe, just dont drink it and dont light it on fire. haha
can the resulted form is able to mix with cement??
For the love of God wear some damn gloves!
You realize that pure acetone is used to remove nail polish right?
Is melted Styrofoam used for that as well?
+Benjamin King Excellent reply...but yeah people with acrylic nails soak their fingers in pure acetone.....a woman I worked with once shut her hand in the door, the false nail smashed into her nailbed and to get it off she had to soak the wounded finger in acetone!
You guys are missing the point, it's not the acetone that bothers me, it's the melted styrofoam. Styrofoam is extremely carcinogenic when it starts to melt.
+Benjamin King leave it. The Darwin effect will deal with those who deserve it
Why does watching Styrofoam dissolve relax me? ... maybe the music helped a bit.
I happen to enjoy your videos. btw.
miscellaneousone
Wonder what you could use the results to make
I'm asking because i want to use this technique to make a specific shape.And it must be pretty strong.
We cant hear it because there's music playing in the background, remove disney music for real sound effects
quit your bitching and make a better video then.
Well instead of talkshitting your viewers because of what they said about your video, why don't you just apologize to your wrong part? What an unprofessional youtuber, immature!
You sure you did nothing? You are so boastful to your viewers. Just go delete your account and learn how to be a good person first. And make some friends.
And do not act like you are a well-known person. Go fix your attitude first before you make random bullshit videos.
KREGGA GROWTOPIA
no i will not take down my channel because of a whiny idiot, i enjoy uploading videos and they make me a good amount of money. i find it funny how you seem to think you have some amount of control or say over the internet. you must be new here. i'm definitly not well-known but im known by more people here than you are, so i dont get your point.
so in the end you are upset that i created something that didnt please you, yet you didnt bother to create anything yourself. just fuck off already. lol :p
BTW its "shittalking" not "talkshitting", you might want to change that if your ever to be taken seriously. hahahaha
I felt like he was howtobasic when he poured acetone on his hands and slammed it to the Styrofoam
I have just purchased a field with an old fridge lorry back in it. The styofoam out of it is 30ft long over a foot thick and five foot wide will try to melt it into smaller bits to take down the tip.
Ok what can I put it on and how long does it take to harden back up
I recognize this voice... David Spade, is that you!?
Steven Miner now I hear Spade too....at first I thought he sounded like RimStar's channel that does a great amount of cool hacks and cheap builds.
I was thinking pee wee Herman.... 🤔
3:55 i laughed.
Alexandra Oliveira me too! It fell in perfect time to the music! :)
After the melted styrofoam has dried any idea if it would be safe to use with aluminium prop making, (pouring molten aluminium onto the styrofoam) ? would be really great to know thanks
William Thresh I'd really love to know the answer to this too
Harruh the acetone removes the air that makes Styrofoam a foam by stopping the chains of polystyrene from sticking together
so yes you can use it
But doesn't the lack of air in the Styrofoam mean that it's less likely to evaporate from the heat of molten aluminium or steel? Meaning it'll just stick there
i guess there is only one way to find out
(try it)
Maybe I will have to on a small sample :)
is the end product poisonous? and if so, only if you swallow it or in which cases can it be harming the human body? and is there any way to harden this?
And the point is?
+fluchter1996 to have fun
Rinoa Super-Genius
Right. Because breathing in acetone fumes is such fun!
fluchter1996
its not bad though, then again i've had so much exposure to acetone i barely smell it now.
fluchter1996 Don't gotta be a keyboard warrior kid.

MrSparklystuff
Fuck you
+MrSparklystuff Jesus Christ dude! I don't think I've ever seen that joke on a non food related video. Like if he was dissolving food into acetone, then it would be unoriginal. But I thought it was funny. And you're really telling someone to kill themselves over it? Wow, maybe the person who encourages people to commit suicide just because they made a bad joke shouldn't be allowed to live.
harry s lol ur so mad
I used to use different liquids on polystyrene when making brick or stone walls for movie and theatre sets. Petrol, diesel, paint thinner and acetone produce different surfaces from their different volatility and using a large paint brush to flick the fluid onto the surface works well. Hexane safe contact adhesive can be used to glue poly bricks together.
Acetone de-fats the skin and can have central nervous system effects via skin absorption. Check the Material Safety Data Sheet. Not to mention the fact that it is extremely flammable. I'd recommend finding another toy.
use gloves
Charlie Antolin And a respirator
For SAFETY use some gloves and don't make it look like the pot is being HEATED over a stove.
your comment makes no sense.
the fizzing is caused by the air escaping the styrene foam, so that's why it looks like it's boiling.
OP delete your comment
Light Yagami kek
What kind of stove do you have that looks like that?
How strong is the plastic that is created from this? Can you mix other plastics with it to increase the strength? Also does anyone have any specs at how cold the end product can get before it becomes brittle and would break? Some specs would be nice if anyone has a scientific site that they could direct me to. Thanks in advance.
did the ball stay soft? I wonder what that plastic could be used for? maybe molding it into something? Will it ever get hard? I'm gonna have to try this thank you for your video very interesting!
It will get very hard, it is a nice material.
Izumi Yuuki bla bla napalm bla bla styrofoam acetone is napalm bla bla will burn down the whole world bla bla *give me more untrue myths!!*
It is basically a easy to ignite plastic fire. You can extinguish it with water, just don’t touch that burning blob of molten plastic. The acetone just helps to make it spreadable, sticky and more flammable
I thought he was gonna make something!!! I just wasted 8 minutes of my life

***** i love how sarcastic that comment is.
You can use that for a binder for soild rocket motors.
AWESOME. Could this mixture be used as a glue? If so what materials will it glue together best? Great video and your an awesome person. Keep them coming.
I don't think it would be very good. But it might be good for making a solid piece you could then drill screws into. Still a matter of drying I though. I think I may need to put my polystyrene ball in my vacuum chamber to drive off all the acetone. Otherwise it takes a long time for the inside to dry.
On second though it would be a lot like those materials that repair themselves. If the outer dry casing broke the liquid inside would fill the crack and fix it again.
*****
yes i know. thanks though.
Rinoa Super-Genius Removing an acetone/air mixture with an electric vacuum pump that can be an ignition source might be problematic. I remember there was a news story about some criminals who decided they would use a shop vac designed to suck up dirty water to siphon out and steal gasoline. It was a blast.
You might wish to send a positive pressure air without acetone over a "Venturi effect" nozzle to siphon the air/acetone mixture out of the vessel or as an alternative, vacuum out the regular atmosphere in a much larger vessel and then connect that vessel to the vessel containing the air/acetone mixture.
Another possibility is a warm breeze from something like a hair dryer to speed up the process. Just put the hair dryer at the end of a tube upwind of the exit location of the acetone/air mixture. This is probably the safest and easiest method. Another idea in eliminating the flammability problem in a positive pressure arrangement is use the fact that acetone and water like each other, so if you blow the exhaust into water it will dissolve in it.
I cannot stand the smell of acetone.
Next time, you might wish to have molds ready to cast your projects.
And you don't need to drill screws into it. You can cast the plastic around the screws.

ColdFloe is an insult to trolls, in order to troll you have to make the other person care, and he fell flat on his face with that. maybe he'll grow up to be a troll, but thats a long way off.
Interesting. I knew acetone could dissolve it, but I never thought about using just enough to turn it into a putty. I wonder how well this would work as a cheap way to make filler for EPS foam terrain in wargaming. Thanks for the vid!
Acetone splashing like you were doing is a great way to make foam look like stone if you water it down a bit. Acetone + styrene is also great replacement for bondo. Once it hardens up due to the lack of air pockets in the styrene it's very hard and great for putting together plastic armor (if you are careful anyway).
Can I just put the foam in water and boil it or cook it ?
what is that for? I mean how productive this dissolved foam can help do ?
Can you possibly use that puddy to mold something? Will be fun to do
Question, does it harden afterwards? And how much does it solidify? thanks for sharing
it turns into hard polystyrene after the acetone evaporates.
Is it getting hardened after a while?
If so will it stay like this in water?
I too have experimented with this: There's another solvent - I don't know what it's called in english, though in danish it's called 'cellulose thinner' - that'll dissolve styrofoam too, but the result is much more liquid (less viscous) than with acetone. - And it will dry up as transparent hard plastic, as the solvent evaporates.. (So will the acetone jelly too, but it takes longer because the partially dried surface forms kindofa 'shell' that to some extent seal it and slow down evaporation).. The less viscous, 'cellulose thinner' based solution can to some extent be used to make a thin plastic coating on stuff, but may tend to peal off in flakes, if the layer is too thin.
Do you think you could use this to mould things?
I wonder why yours is more like a syrupy viscosity and mine is more like that of silly putty even though its been soaking in gasoline in a jar since I made it.
This stuff is really handy. Ive used it in a home made injector to injection mold clone parts for old toys or to clone figures and models completely. Ive also used gasoline to do this back pre highschool so 20+ years but that was used for a different experiment entirely😅
Coooool I always wanted to what would happen if the two were combined thanks
It's actually pretty satisfying to watch it melt
makes a really good and strong glue that expands like great stuff in a vacuum.
where you buy acetone? is it pure acetone? here in mexico if i want to buy pure acetone i have to hava a permission from a company that will use so im curious to know if its pure and where they sell it.
This is actually the FIRST RUclips video Iv'e seen where the music is NOT annoying!!
Congratulations
?? Um not sure if this acetone is different than nail acetone but I use that to clean off my nail polish and it just kinda melts away and also melts my styrofoam bowls but nothing rlly happens if you touch it or spill it all over you you just lose moisture so moisturize
It dries clear and is very hard. great sealer...It also works better with paint thinner.
Now I know how they did the acid special effects on the movie "Alien."
regular paint thinner works well to dissolve Styrofoam and it turns the Styrofoam into a clear plastic resin which works well for pouring into cracked concrete flooring, or to coat plywood with as a sealer like fiberglass resin, and you can use it just like fiberglass resin as well, it can be poured into a mold to make your own RC car or truck bodies and when dry it can be painted, it dries clear.
Reminded me while it was still squishy of cornstarch and water.
the sound track sounds like an old video game.. love it haha
are hard would it be to re-shape for say an "action figure"?
:) The musical accompaniment lends well to this charming petro-jelly instructional.
Fond recollections of 3:48, "the plank-of-poly plops into it's spirits like the drunken gutterpup into his bottle".
I didn't thought that styrofoam dissolve only with acetone very good idea thanks for sharing it:)
I love the music in the background!!
This would be good to use in a mold for figurines and more.
Handling organic solvents without safety gear is 'BAD BANANAS DUDE'!!
He doesn't realize that goo can be poured into a mold and create very hard plastic pieces. He also doesn't realize that acetone is now swimming through his veins.
thats not how acetone works, but yes i know you can mold it but its not very useful given how long it takes to evaporate
Question: Once the foam turns to a puddy, could you then smear it on cardboard to get it a Styrofoam look all over the cardboard?
Gasoline can dissolve Styrofoam too and it is the same as rugby contact cement...
Dissolved Styrofoam on acetone have many uses...
Good for handyman's DIY tool...
You could try melting down hdpe plastic which is what milk jugs and laundry detergent bottles and many other types of containers are made of there are many videos on youtube of how to melt hdpe and use it for machining or creating plastic ingots
The final ''product '' is a great glue !
nice thanks for this awesome tutorial on how to make napalm
What is this some kind of mysterious Harry Potter like background music!?
