    Here's my question, won't moving the slide from outside into my house then my freezer melt the snowflake?

    I love your video! 😂 I do eyelash extensions, and one of the cyanoacrylate adhesives I use is super clear. It does not get bubbles. I’m going to try it with that and see.

    Hi there. I was wondering what properties i would look for if I wanted to use spray adhesive glue. Maybe the snowflake would be less affected if there was a thinner layer. a coat of glue before and after? Maybe spraying as they fall?

    You could get some plumbers freezing spray to cool the glass down, stopping the exothermic reaction melting the snowflake?
    I'd be interested in seeing the temperature of the glass when you put the flake on it

    Putting the snowflake in a vacuum chamber after you placed it in the glue may help with some problems because it would remove most of the air bubbles and temporarily cool the snowflake while the glue begins to solidify. Also would a two part epoxy resin work as well?

    • @bryanrolfe5617
      @bryanrolfe5617  Před 8 lety

      +Brian E Vacuum chamber would surely help, especially with degassing, but it wasn't something I had laying around. I'm not sure if epoxy resin would bring more benefits than drawbacks to the table. It's more gel-like, it cures much more slowly, especially at cold temperatures, and it requires more prep. However, the only way to know for sure is to give it a try and see what results you get!

    I don't get it! Where did you get your triangle paper with your snowflake from!? When did you collect your snowflake?

    When Leonard preserve the snowflake to get with Penny, is that sexist? And if you're trying to get a hot date, how is that sexist? You can't please everyone! There will always be trolls. So you have to be able to weed out the things that don't matter with the things that matter. You took an initial premise from what you saw or read, and then develop a content around that, and you took a theme/motif from the initial premise like "trying to get a date" and splice it throughout the video, so you have a mix of science and humor, which is what people need. It makes it more entertaining and more memorable. And most kids will remember it due to the humor part. After watching this video, I feel like I should get with you now ;)
