Really cool video! Try adding salt to it to make it harder: In my experience of soap making salt based soap hardening worked best with a combination of 97% hardwood ash 3% pine ash mixture which are much very potassium rich where I live, so I'm sure Your pure sodium hydroxide would make it even harder since I cant really control wood ash. I just dissolve a couple pinches of salt into the water per finished liter of soap.

@@margitvarganemunkacsi9700 allowing it to "cure" for a month or so, as well as heating the soap when reacting (hot processing) helps make it harder too. Some additives, as well as different oils can make it set harder too. There are soap making websites that go into ratios and types of oils to use to make a harder soap, more bubbles, etc. Soap making is fun and easy.

I've used beeswax in soap before, usually up to 5% of the fat bill - to make it harder. Though making the soap harder is not a problem, coconut oil gives a really hard soap too if used by itself (and also has much better cleaning properties). In a regular soap bill, beeswax will saponify slower than the other fats so if you use a regular "superfat" of 5%, a lot of that will be comprised of leftover beeswax. Unreacted beeswax in soap will give it a moisturizing effect as it will coat the skin with a thin layer of itself and delay the evaporation of water. It's also why it's used in lip balms (together with things like cocoa butter). (edit) In fact, I've just played a bit in SoapCalc with some recipes, and a soap made from 50% beeswax and 50% coconut oil will again be very hard, but also have much better cleansing properties that 100% beeswax, with all parameters except for hardness falling right in the desirable zones. Just in case you want to try this recipe instead for your "fossils", because I think it will give you overall a better soap.

A wax-related experiment suggestion I've had for a while: since paraffin wax is a combination of alkanes (approx. C20 to C40), would it be possible to separate a block of undyed, unscented paraffin wax into each individual different hydrocarbon component, without cracking any of those molecules? It'd be interesting to see just how accurate those measurements are, as well as test the exact physical properties of each higher alkane. The same could potentially be done for petroleum jelly as to ascertain the chemical composition of that, since I wasn't able to find anything conclusive.

Refineries do not use distillation for heavy oils and waxes because of pyrolysis they use solvent refining, crystalizing the wax out of a chilled solution. This removes most of the oil components but it is not great for a narrow target, heck I'm not even sure how well it can be tuned for isolating alkanes from cyclic compounds. (They are actually trying to remove the wax from the oil, not the oil from the wax. The wax is less in demand.) There is increased use of vacuum distillation these days to shift the crossover molecular weight a bit higher, but it isn't enough for common paraffin or microcrystalline waxes, at least not on industrial scale. You would need a rather extreme vacuum as far as distillation setups go and very careful control over both that vacuum and temperature to maintain the target separation. It may be better to find another method like very targeted crystallization conditions.(including solvent selected for the right amount of polararity to discriminate cyclic hydrocarbons)

I got into soapmaking as a bit of pandemic hobby in late spring 2020. Ended up spending quite a few months messing around with oil blends, comparing ratios, seeing what one type does better than another by comparison, rather then relying on shitty descriptions online (boy there are some shitty soap sites with bad recipies. Stuff that would go rancid in months because of absurdly high linoleic content, etc) The amount of time that you can put in on just the chemistry side if you care to is amazing. I havent used bees wax, but longer chain unsaturated fats that are solid or waxy at room temp, boy to they go off fast. When you showed the temp I had a brief panic moment "thats going to seize instantly" Because I forgot hot process was a thing, because I dont ever mess with it, and I havent touched cold process since the end of 2020 because I ended up making enough soaps for myself, a few friends, and my parents to last for 2 years...

Perfect example: concrete. Original guess was its just a set amount of small rocks in a solution that sets into a solid. Hell no. That stuff can be far more complicated depending on time to set, strength of the concrete after setting, the chemical properties of the concrete components, the effects of the environment on those properties, the lifespan of the concrete, etc. I could not stand to be a chemical engineer 😂. It would drive me insane.

Big difference between bee's wax and fat is that fat is mostly fatty esters of glycerol (triglycerides), whereas wax is mostly fatty esters of fatty alcohols. So after saponification, your soap should have quite a high content of fatty alcohols, which will remain much more hydrophobic than the fatty acid salts portion.

What I've learned from this video is that beeswax can actually look a lot like earwax at certain stages of this whole process shown here. Very interesting!

Always nice to see you back in business. Your gardening series really inspired me to grow something too. Wouldn't you talk about the reaction when you made the beeswax a soap and it just puffs as a foam in a second?

Hey Cody. I always like to see bees and bee-themed videos. I found the link to this one on Twitter by chance as it is unlisted. Would you have listed it in one of your channels sooner or later, or will I have to watch out for sneaky Twitter releases too?

If the last shot in the video are the items you're going to hide in your bars of soap so that it can slowly be exposed as you use it, I think these are good but I think that the more detail in the "artifact" the better people will like it. If it's just the general shape of fossils I think people might not appreciate them as much. JMO mind you... *: )*

I think what would be awesome for you would be a lathe and mill to build all sorts of custom components. Maybe soap moulds, extruders, structural stuff, brackets to hold things together, etc Or cheaper with 3d printing. Personally I dont believe I have the time for it but I think since youre one of the legit youtube channels out there so you can afford to undertake these things

You could make the beeswax soap into coarse granules and then incorporate those into your softer bar of soap. Might be a nice exfoliant or grease scrub.

perhaps a rounder shape would remove the hardness issues, and an increase in surface area would improve the creation of lather/bubbles perhaps a golfball shape, round and with additional surface area?

Well, you've found something suitable for the "fossils". Now all you need is a softer surround that will dissolve a bit faster. Perhaps some transparent or translucent soap would be best.
