250 million is the Permian Triassic not carboniferous

"lemongrass oil for flavor"...it wouldn't be cody's lab without tasting it so guess soap would be no different
-
Cody' s life could be ordered like that of famous artists in the 19th and 20th century... , the explosive period, the wax period, the charcaol period, the quicksilver period, the soap period etc.

Love the idea of having fossils in the soap that are harder so they poke out. I've really been enjoying the soap videos.
-
Incredible idea, and it turned out really well.
-
Cody showing off his candy making skills over here, but with soap.
-
That turned out really well! Also that's a super cool rock!
I also wonder if it would be feasible to attempt to make a geode bar of soap using a combination of the grey soap and a commercially made brightly coloured transparent soap bar?
Edit: turns out geode soap bars are popular among DIY and commercial and of course there's plenty of patents on all sorts of soap bars including 'composite soap bar consisting of embedded shapes of differing hardness'. -
Those turned out great! Cool idea
-
I work cutting limestone for homes and buildings, and it’s not uncommon to find fossils in the blocks we get, but it’s not nearly as dense as your example. That’s quite amazing

I can’t stress how much I love this channel. PLEASE never leave us.

I check my Patreon feed once per week on Sunday morning, and I get irrationally excited when there's a new Cody video. There's something about the topics Cody covers and the way they're presented that I find very unique and enjoyable to watch.
-
Love how it erodes like a real rock with fossils just much faster. everyday new fossiles appear, definitely the most interesting soap lmao.
-
This was such a cool thing to watch. From the first idea to try to make soap from beeswax to realizing that it makes the soap harder and dissolve slower. Then, the fossil idea and the completion of the final product.
-
The best thing about Cody, Is he always keeps me guessing. Never know whats coming next. Well done.
Squatch would sell that for about 50 bucks a bar. -
to break up foam, keep a spray bottle with ethanol or isopropyl alcohol ready, relatively small amounts will break up that foam immediately.
-
You will never run out of soap after this soap making phase xD
It's also a fun project to do with kids as a parent or a teacher -
I would totally buy that soap! Super cool looking, and as a fellow geologist, I’m a big fan!
-
so much effort making art that will just wash away. truly a fleeting art project. 10/10
-
As a soap maker, the beginning was so chaotic and the end filled me with so much joy. It was what soap making is all about. Creativity! It was an awesome video and a super cool end result!

You can grow alfalfa in the poor Mars dirt (regolith). Use it for fertilizer for your veggies. (south Florida)
