[00:00:01]Never throw away used tires or motorcycle tires that are no longer fit for use again.

[00:00:08]In this video, I'll be doing an experiment you might not have imagined before.

[00:00:13]Trying to make silicone glue from a material we often consider trash.

[00:00:17]It sounds simple, but wait until you see the results.

[00:00:21]From something that usually ends up in the landfill, we'll transform it into something useful and even valuable.

[00:00:33]The process is full of surprises and the end result is guaranteed to amaze you.

[00:00:37]So, be sure to watch until the end because who knows, after this you might never look at used tires the same way again.

[00:00:49]The first step is to take a used motorcycle tire, an item often considered useless and simply thrown away. But here, I'll try to transform it into something more useful. We'll start from the beginning, seeing how this hard, dirty material slowly transforms into something ready for further experiments.

[00:01:14]This isn't just ordinary recycling, but a first step toward a simple innovation that could change the way we view the waste around us. So, pay close attention to each step because this is where it all begins.

[00:01:33]At this stage, I will begin cutting the tire using a knife. This process must be done very carefully as the tire material is quite hard and the tool used is also sharp. I will slowly open each section, ensuring the cuts are neat and secure throughout the process.

[00:01:49]From here, we begin to see how this used tire is prepared for the next stage, where each section will be a crucial part of our ongoing experiment.

[00:02:03]Once I'm done cutting, I'll continue by cutting the tire sections to make them smaller and easier to work with.

[00:02:09]This process helps us achieve a neater shape that meets our needs for the next step.

[00:02:14]With smaller pieces, the tire material will be easier to process, bringing us closer to the ultimate goal of this experiment.

[00:02:28]Now, here I'm going to cut it into small pieces. This will make it easier to melt and distribute evenly during the heating process. Smaller pieces allow the heat to spread more effectively, resulting in a more effective process.

[00:02:42]This stage does require patience, but the results will significantly impact the next steps.

[00:02:54]After cutting them into small pieces, I'll put all the tire pieces into a container. This step is to prepare the materials for the next step.

[00:03:02]With everything neatly gathered in one place, the next step will be easier and more organized.

[00:03:07]From here, our experiment starts to get more interesting because the main ingredients are ready to be processed further.

[00:03:20]Then, at this stage, I'll add PU thinner to the container containing the tire pieces.

[00:03:26]This liquid will help soften the material, making it easier to work with when heated.

[00:03:31]I'll pour it in slowly to ensure it's well mixed and evenly distributed.

[00:03:35]From here, we begin the core of the experiment, where these simple ingredients slowly react and transform into something completely different.

[00:03:49]After that, I'll add the Styrofoam pieces into the same container. The Styrofoam will mix with the thinner and the tire pieces, creating a reaction that will begin to thicken the material.

[00:04:00]This is where the process gets interesting. The previously separate ingredients slowly come together to form a unique mixture.

[00:04:08]Make sure everything is mixed well as this step will determine the final outcome of our experiment.

[00:04:19]Once all the ingredients are in the bowl, I'll start stirring them until they're evenly distributed. This stirring process is quite important.

[00:04:31]After the hardening process has taken place for a while, I'll gently stir the mixture again. This ensures there are no lumps and that all the tire pieces remain well coated with silicone glue.

[00:04:42]I'll only stir lightly as the texture is now starting to become thicker and more solid.

[00:04:52]From here, we can see how the mixture begins to come together and form a more solid structure.

[00:04:58]This is a crucial moment before we move on to the final stage and see the actual results of this experiment.

[00:05:09]After I stir this mixture again until it's fairly even, the next step is to strain it.

[00:05:14]This straining process aims to separate out any parts that may be too coarse or not yet fully mixed. This way, we can achieve a smoother, more even result.

[00:05:26]I'll use a simple sieve, then slowly pour the mixture in while we observe how the texture changes.

[00:05:37]>> [clears throat] >> Now, at this stage, I'll use a mosquito net as a filter. Although simple, this net is quite effective at separating the finer parts from the coarser pieces.

[00:05:47]I'll slowly pour the mixture onto the net and see how it sifts through. Here, the difference in texture between what passes through the filter and what remains is starting to become apparent.

[00:06:03]After the screening process is complete, I'll try adding cement to the mixture.

[00:06:08]The goal is to see if this addition will make the final product denser and stronger.

[00:06:12]I'll slowly add the cement and then begin mixing it into the previous mixture.

[00:06:21]Here, a significant change in texture begins to appear with the mixture becoming thicker and heavier.

[00:06:27]This is quite an interesting part as we're truly testing how the various ingredients with different characteristics interact with each other.

[00:06:35]Will the result be stronger or will it be the opposite? We'll see in the final stages.

[00:06:44]Once all the ingredients are combined, I'll stir the mixture again until it's completely smooth. The texture now looks much thicker and denser than before, indicating that everything is starting to come together. To make it easier to use, I'll transfer the mixture to a syringe. This way, the application process will be neater, more controlled, and less messy.

[00:07:08]I added it slowly to avoid trapping any air inside. From here, we've entered a rather interesting stage as we'll soon be testing how this mixture performs when applied.

[00:07:24]After I'd successfully placed the mixture into the tube, the next step was to reattach the handle or plunger of the syringe. I did this slowly so the mixture could be pushed down neatly.

[00:07:35]With the pressure from the handle, the mixture began to move downward and was ready to be released just like any other silicone glue.

[00:07:48]Here, we can see how the mixture we just made can be applied with greater precision and control.

[00:07:54]This is quite an exciting moment as we'll now see firsthand how it works when used, whether it truly works like glue or not.

[00:08:05]At this stage, I'll begin applying the mixture to the wood surface.

[00:08:09]I gently press the syringe handle, then dispense the mixture as I would with any other silicone glue.

[00:08:15]I'll try spreading it evenly across the wood surface to see how it adheres.

[00:08:20]Here, we can immediately see whether the mixture adheres well or if it peels off easily.

[00:08:26]This process is crucial as it's where we can assess the actual results of the experiment we've been conducting from the beginning.

[00:08:37]In addition to wood, at this stage, I'll also try applying this mixture to a brick surface.

[00:08:42]I want to see if the adhesion differs when used on a rougher, more porous material like brick.

[00:08:48]Just as before, I gently pressed the syringe needle and then applied the mixture evenly to the brick surface.

[00:08:55]Here, we can directly compare whether this mixture adheres better to wood or brick.

[00:09:03]At this stage, I'll spread the mixture evenly over the entire surface. I'll make sure every area is well covered to maximize results and ensure the adhesion is truly visible.

[00:09:14]I'll work slowly and neatly to ensure no area is too thick or too thin.

[00:09:18]From here, we can begin to see how the mixture adheres and spreads across the surface of the material.

[00:09:27]And at this stage, I'll try attaching the zinc using the glue we made earlier.

[00:09:32]I'll position the zinc on the coated surface and press it gently to ensure it adheres well.

[00:09:37]Here, we can directly see whether this mixture truly has strong adhesion.

[00:09:45]To help strengthen the adhesive, I also added mosquito netting at this stage. I placed the netting on top of the zinc surface, then spread the glue mixture evenly over it.

[00:09:55]The netting acts as an additional bonding agent, like reinforcement, helping the glue adhere more firmly and resisting sloping.

[00:10:03]I smoothed it out slowly so the netting was completely integrated with the zinc surface and completely covered by the mixture.

[00:10:15]After all the application processes are complete, I'll dry it in the hot sun.

[00:10:20]This will allow the mixture to dry and harden more quickly naturally.

[00:10:24]I'll place it in a location exposed to direct sunlight and let it sit for a while.

[00:10:29]The drying process is key to seeing the final result of this experiment.

[00:10:37]Now you can see the results. After going through all the processes mentioned above, from mixing to drying, we finally have the final result of this experiment.

[00:10:47]Here, we can see how the mixture of silicone glue and scrap tires forms a unique layer on the surface. Now the question is, is the result truly strong and usable, or is it the opposite?

[00:11:02]At this stage, I'll test the results using water. I'll try sprinkling or wetting the surface we just applied it to see how it reacts. Does the glue stay strong, or does it start to weaken when exposed to water?

[00:11:14]This is an important test because if a material is to be used in everyday life, it must be able to withstand conditions like these.

[00:11:25]And as you can see, after testing it with water, the results were quite impressive.

[00:11:30]The surface didn't seem to peel easily, and when I touched it, it didn't feel sticky.

[00:11:36]This indicates that the mixture has dried sufficiently and is water resistant.

[00:11:42]As you can see, this mixture adheres quite well to the zinc surface and doesn't come off easily.

[00:11:48]Even after I tested it with water, the results remained intact and showed no signs of weakening.

[00:11:55]So, you don't miss out on other exciting experiments. See you in the next video.
