Just a little update on things I'm working on. This isn't a tutorial video at all, but I plan on doing one specifically on this project, as it is cheap and there are a lot of side reactions you can perform with the waste byproducts.

This video is just more to prove I am still alive and to once again promise making better quality videos in the future.

2/9/2018 Update:
The substance I thought to contain phosphates in Pepto Bismol are just part of the chemical component of the dyes Red 22 and Red 28.

D&C RED 22 (EOSINE Y.S., PURIFIED)

Chemical Formula:  C20H6O5Na2Br4


D&C RED 28 (PHLOXINE B, PURIFIED)
