I'd like to see an episode where you experiment with, or test some diy personal insulation. Things like newspaper, aluminum foil, bubble wrap etc... With Modern Rogue HQ being in Texas, and considering the ice storm that just ripped through the woefully unprepared southern states, I think it would be an especially appropriate topic for a video. Granted, it would feel retroactive, but lets be honest, people are more likely to watch 'how to' videos after they've been through a bad situation, rather than before, myself included. It's literally why I'm making this suggestion. I live in South West Louisiana....it was rough.

My job is to turn plastic pellets into plastic film. And yes, we recycle a ton of what we call repro scrap pellets. There is one particular blend of film that actually is about 30% milk jugs. We rarely use it because, although it's a strong material (HDPE), it clogs the extruder screen packs (which means stopping production to replace them), it causes gels in every blend that it's in, and it smells like old milk.

Hi you two, I just wanna say thank you both. You guys have gotten me through so many anxiety attacks it’s insane. Your good humour and consistently interesting videos have walked me through some dark places, thank you so much, you deserve all your success.

I actually have been melting HDPE for a while. Normally I cook it at around 280-350 depending on the quantity. I built a wooden mold that I use for pressing it into bricks I can work with like wood. I also suggest using parchment paper between the plastic and whatever you’re cooking it on so I’d doesn’t stick. As far as melting it takes different times depending on how much you’re melting, but they don’t all have to be the same color for them to be properly melted. Sometimes the white jugs become clear, but other times they stay white. Cooling should be done by leaving it in the mold with constant pressure and allowed to cool slowly. I’ve tried cooking in the freezer and they warp. Things I found that melt well: milk/juice jugs, detergent jugs, shampoo/conditioner bottles, oil containers, and shopping bags. Make sure to THOROUGHLY wash these things out before cooking them. You don’t want any residue (especially the oil) left in while cooking the plastic. Also if using shopping bags it takes a LOT. I made a 4”x3”x1.5” brick and it took around 75 walmart bags. It’s a lot of fun, but be very safe.

Love that with everything they did to squish the plastic, they didn't think to do it with the vice RIGHT NEXT TO THEM. But that's par for the course.

Modern rogue: “Heated plastic releases toxic fumes” Me who works at an LLDPE mouldingfactory: “Yes they do”

Ventilation doesn’t just mean open space or clear vents, it means MOVING AIR. I build and paint miniatures for D&D and 40k. There’s plenty of times when I’ve almost collapsed because I got into the zone and didn’t realize that I couldn’t breath because of my glue or paint lol. A small fan works. I even use a small oscillating space heater that I turn off the heating element on.

Random bits of data fr5om someone who used to work plastics: HDPE, the stuff milk jugs are made of, fuses (it doesn't really melt) at 420-440F. The hotter it gets the smellier it gets but there's nothing carcinogenic. Not good to breathe anyway. The faster it's quenched (brought to room temp typically in a water bath) the better the edge it will hold, but the more brittle it will be. There's not much difference between fast and slow for the purposes of say, this video.

Not exactly sure if y’all are aware of this, but typically the left side of the grinder is the roughing wheel while the right is the finishing wheel. Just two different “grits” of stone/carbide/diamond/etc.

Cream chipped beef on toast is delicious. Cut the toast into a bunch of squares and pile the squares up before applying cream chipped beef. That was how my dad served it when I was a kid.

It helps when you position the pattern so that you can see it as you cut.

You know they are professionals, when they inform everyone that you shouldn't do it and that the grinder posses a button.

I find it ironic how serious Brian takes safety with gloves and visor yet is known as a professional fire-eater lol

QUICK FACTS! unless you are using special techniques or a grinding wheel that is rated for soft materials, you should not use a grinding wheel to grind plastic wood or soft metals such as aluminum. The reason behind this is the wheel itself is very porous and will be clogged, possibly causing a fracture or explosion of the wheel... which is spinning at 5000 to 6500 feet per second. Always wear protective equipment and stay to the side of the grinding wheel.

@truefoxtrot2884

3 жыл бұрын

when one of those grinding wheels get clogged with plastic/wood, it just becomes less effective while having its pores clogged (which you can clean just grinding a little bit of metal) it doesn't actually have a risk to generate enough friction to make it heat up considerably, but when grinding aluminum the aluminum can melt and coat the wheel with molten aluminum, that generates more friction and rapidly heats up the wheel which can cause it to explode. apart from that, yes, always wear protective equipment when using one of those things, they can throw off sparks/chunks of metal at pretty high speeds.

PSA: Don't use a steel grinder on plastic unless you want to ruin your grindingwheel, kids! But yeah, good episode! But you should be a little more confident! You guys got this, don't worry. (but cautious actions are still right actions, don't forget!)

Yes... It's our fault for asking for more podcast... And we're loving it...

HDPE forms toxic fumes above 360°F you should keep it at 3:50 and when it turns completely transparent smash it in between something like wood or steel

I used plastic yogurt containers and a hairdryer, and squished it down into a mould and made it into a mallet. Had to keep heat on it and keep packing it in

You guys should do a follow up video using this same plastic for IIIa body armor. The Bearded Axe has a video on it for the process.

Just want to say S.O.S was definitely one of my favorite breakfasts up there with Biscuits and Gravy

a quicker safer way to shred up milk jugs, get an industrial/heavy duty paper shredder (like the one that can handle credit cards), cut the milk jugs into large almost paper sized sheets, feed them through one at a time and slowly.

They really have no clue about knives at all and this is one of their many charms

theres a random grunt/sigh or something at 3:13, i almost screamed it was so sudden

i feel like you guys had the coolest pillow fort as kids

HDPE is awesome. I used to do this all the time

I thought we learned from last time that Brian should not be the one designing the knifes?

Kiwami Japan has probably made the most knives out of things that probably shouldn’t be knives

I just remembered a clip from a recent anime Dr Stone where he used molten plastic and sheets of paper in order to create a shield of basically "Primitive Carbon Fiber". I know that y'all have already shown the efficacy of Paper Shields, but I wonder how much stronger it would be if you added Molten Milk Jugs (or other plastics).

y'all should make merch that says "I need the dexterity"

Jason “we’re great at making knifes” Brian “no we’re great at hurting our selves with knives”

At 7:34 "it's not quite merging enough yet" sounded just like Walter White!

By the way. If you're actually improvising don't go fancy with handguards and stuff. It might weaken the overall stucture (depending on the material and treatment of course) and you may not always have time for testing... Better have a shitty shive than an exceptionally useless well made knife. And keep on going as you are with the modern rogue. The content alternating a lot from one update to the next is very refreshing.

You wanna use an actual oven and small scraper/putty knives to be knead the bubbles out and make a block. Then a good band saw to cut out your shapes. You can even make little ingots out of plastic bags

You guys should definitely install a vent fan like used in a garage. Also, a really good first aid kit. Also a paramedic on standby.

You could melt them to make a sheet and make brass knuckles. It is really hard to make a sheet of hdpe plastic in a toaster oven. It blobs up when hot and shrinks when it cools 350F is a good temp. It won’t start to fume The lids melt at a different temperature so be careful of that like 250f
