Talk:3194: 16 Part Epoxy

Woah, just reloaded it and new comic! Sick... I should probably read it now. Willintendo (talk) 20:02, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

TABLES! TABLES! TABLES! WOOOOOO!!!!!! --DollarStoreBa'al^Converse 20:21, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Table created. However, I am a teenager and do not work in construction, so the explanations may need some work. --DollarStoreBa'al^Converse 20:56, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Every item in this table is real. Ask me how I know. 64.201.132.210 21:34, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

How does the placebo work? Does it just kinda mind control you?--DollarStoreBa'al^Converse 21:42, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Did it work? 2001:1998:3500:42C:0:0:0:534 23:27, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Thought for placebo adhesive: Water between two microscope slides. It'll stick real good, but it's not really glue, more... fancy pressure physics. 142.165.161.48 22:28, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

"Duck" tape, not "duct". Come on Randall, you know better than that. Yorkshire Pudding (talk) 00:08, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Both spellings are used. One is trademarked. 76.187.17.7 03:46, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

But "duct" screams folk etymology. "Duck" sounded unlikely so people though it must be "duct"...but it's a huge leap to think that a tape that some people tended to use for a/c ducts would actually be named "duct tape". Both the tape and the word "duct" are too general purpose for that. Is it known as that? Yes? Does it make sense though? Not for a second. Yorkshire Pudding (talk) 10:38, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

To be fair, it is more commonly used for taping ducts than it is used for taping ducks 2A01:CB1C:12EF:7900:953B:FFB2:21E3:47EC 12:43, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

To add on to that point, the most popular use for pipe cleaners (other than elementary school craft projects) is to clean pipes, so it's not that much of a stretch. --DollarStoreBa'al^Converse

Now I'm wondering what the properties of a powdered bar magnet would even be, if each individual piece continued to be magnetic. 2405:201:E010:1029:2C1E:1669:FA92:85DE 00:44, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

A magnetic powder stops being diamagnetic. All the north poles clamp onto a south pole, so the magnetic fields essentially all cancel. You end up with "lump of magnetic powder", not "one big magnet" or "powder you can disperse in a liquid." Nitpicking (talk) 03:32, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

But all the little pieces of magnets are still full magnets with a north and a south pole. Magnetic monopoles have, so far, not been observed in practice. --Coconut Galaxy (talk) 06:32, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

So, the 2-poly(etc) seems to me to suggest that instead of being "-vinyl-ethyl-vinyl-ethyly-" polimerisation, with the links between both 'ethyl-like' backbone subcomponents being from opposite ends of the respective subunit carbon-pairing, it'd more likely now be considered as a polymethyl-group with a methyl (or methylene) group as the now unused onward '1-'site, hanging free of the new polychain. I'd have to check the bond-geometries, though to see if it would even work. (Ignoring the obvious problem with the made up name.) 92.23.2.208 01:44, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

I feel like the Polyethylvinylesteracetate is a joke about how polymer names are often long and gibberish-sounding. Potatocakethrow (talk)

Rosin is also used soldering, which might be relevant to adhesives. Soldering is used to join pipes, among other things. Nitpicking (talk) 03:32, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

>"Rosin is also used soldering, ...to join pipes" Plumbing (pipes) soldering more often uses "acid flux" (Zinc Chloride and similar), not rosin which is used in electronics and jewelry. --PRR (talk) 05:48, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

While it's less common in glues than other animal products (such as skin, bones, or cheese), blood-based glues are (or historically were) a thing. Citation: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/blood-glue Gorillas would not be a suitable source of this blood, though. 178.251.89.99 (talk) 07:09, 15 January 2026 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

The traditional song "Rosin the Bow" may be less well known than "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", but rosin is in the title. 87.75.47.93 10:46, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

sodium bicarbonate can be used on cyanoacrylate glues as an accelerant and hardener. Pergaps salt can play a similar role in some epoxy mixes? 131.255.152.112 18:27, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
