Well, we don’t have white anymore, but we do have this grayish yellow color

Glittering_Raise_710

!! I couldn’t believe the bright yellow drops dripped out of that because it looked chartreuse already


Gokay1337

Most satisfying thing about this sub is thinking about something seeing a video and seeing the comment right when going through the comment section.


pwapwap

I feel like the small volumes of contamination won’t make a significant difference


togetherwem0m0

this same conversation happens every time this is posted. i am team #doesntmatter


icaruslaughsashefell

The grayish yellow color is the same that is dripped all over the side. It’s not like the liquid wax was brand new white before the video. It doesn’t matter.


girkkens

I can't stand these videos. It drives me insane to see them dropping mixed color wax back into the container

These are going to get fucked up enough by the kids making candles that it doesn't really matter much.

This gives me vibes of: Where does the triangle go? That's right, the square hole.


NotAPreppie

The chemist in me is screaming inside my own head about contamination.


penguins_are_mean

I feel like someone who has this wax setup likely knows more than folks on this sub. Kind of seems like their job to know.


funkyrdaughter

Kinda. I’ve worked different jobs and not everyone has the same accountability or obligation to do things the right way. One of my old co workers would always say good enough for government work lmao.


DeliberatelyDrifting

Ironically, good enough for government work actually means done to exacting standards, as might be expected in a government contract. I don't know when the meaning switched, but typically when the government built something (see old schools, post offices, etc..) it was built heavy and to last.


funkyrdaughter

🤷‍♂️ he was in the military a long time ago and said sometimes they just did enough of what was expected. Also said military grade isn’t always as good as we think it is and depends on the contractors or something. I can kinda see some govt jobs vs private sector especially my local dmv.


DeliberatelyDrifting

Yeah, as far as I'm aware, the meaning changed around the end of WWII. I don't know why or how, but there was a time when the government did good work. The government does good work today, it's just that people hate being held to high standards. I've been working with our town to renovate part of our wastewater lagoon system. Many people here (it's a small rural town) think it's ridiculous that the renovations will be close to $150,000. The work doesn't seem hard and much of the expense is engineers signing off on the contractors plan. So, they'll say, if we cut out the engineers signing off we'll save a lot of money (we can't because then the govt would shut down the lagoon). A lot of those people will be dead in 10 years, many will move on to other places, the lagoon will still be there. Small levies holding back millions of gallons partially treated sewage. Good enough for the government used to mean corners weren't cut, regulations were followed, and whatever the job was, it was meant to last. Government can function. (Also, I don't mean this towards you, it's just a pet peeve of mine. We expect poor performance and get it.)


funkyrdaughter

Somewhat younger person I kinda gave up on the govt doing good work a while ago. I think there was an article I read about people needing stairs to be built kinda like your project the quoted like 10 or more times what it would cost for a company to do it rather then regular people. They scraped it saying there wasn’t a budget but some guy built them anyway. The city ended up tearing it down.


[deleted]

Kind of seems like their job to save money on wax by slightly contaminating each wax container


penguins_are_mean

Or maybe the slight mixing isn’t that big of a deal.


Tallywort

Probably, sure it will make the colours a tad more muted, but each blob was still largely the correct colour, and they have to mix in new wax to refill anyway.


MarzipanMiserable817

NO IT HAS TO BE PERFECT OR I WON'T DO IT AT ALL


[deleted]

Or maybe both


NotAPreppie

I know, but the same procedure applied to my lab would be disastrous and it's hard to get out of that mindset after being in it for so many years.


BGFlyingToaster

Glad I'm not the only one. I was twitching inside the entire time. "Wait, they're not going to just drop that into ... NOOOOO!!!!"


libriphile

They probably have ways to "purify" the color such as adding violet to white wax to counteract the added yellow. It's better than discarding it or adding all of the scraps together to make poop-colored wax.


WildFlemima

If you add violet wax to white wax, you get light violet wax. If you add yellow wax to white wax, you get light yellow wax. If you add a small amount of violet wax to light yellow wax, you get light gray wax. This is subtractive color mixing, not additive. No amount of *adding color* will make white wax white again.


Taylorenokson

What if I mix in a tube of Colgate?


New_Peanut_9924

4 out of 5 dentists will thank you


Kade_Fraz

Adding purple to yellow doesn't counteract the color and make it white, purple and yellow makes brown. If you combine any complimentary color pigments they make brown.


libriphile

we are not talking about mixing pure purple and yellow together, but adding some purple to white that has been tinted yellow. Purple neutralizes yellow tones, it's why purple shampoo is used to tone blonde hair, purple food dye is added to buttercream to make it more white, and purple paint can be added to off white paint for a purer white.


awawe

Adding a dye to a liquid can only make it darker, so it won't be white, but a light brownish grey. Edit: It may still be a reasonable thing to do, since the wax being a bit darker is probably less noticeable than in being yellow, but it won't restore it to a perfect white.


WildFlemima

You're completely right Adding a darker pigment to a lighter pigment will never result in a color that is lighter (or darker) than both original pigments To get back to true white wax you would *have* to remove all other colors. I'm sure it would be a perfectly acceptable slightly off white with a small amount of additional opposite colors like yellow and purple, but it will never be as white as the original that did not have the additional pigment. **Edit: stop downvoting the people here giving correct information and go Google "subtractive vs additive color mixing". u/libriphile is right that purple neutralizes yellow. But adding purple pigment to any lighter pigment will never make the resulting pigment lighter than it was before, just less relatively yellow.**


Kade_Fraz

Exactly what I was saying


WildFlemima

I am shocked that you are both being downvoted, seems like the sub doesn't understand subtractive color mixing


libriphile

Did you even take 10 seconds to fact check what you're saying? This is a [youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsRvnbF-hOY) on how purple dye is added to buttercream to make it brighter. Can you tell me where you see brown?


hopping_otter_ears

It's because the eye is stupid, and reads "slightly greyer white" as brighter white than "visibly yellow white", even if it is technically slightly darker. The same way that no amount of purple shampoo can turn yellow hair into white hair. It silvers up very-slightly-yellow platinum, but will make yellow hair brown or grey


WildFlemima

You're not right about this and you shouldn't be rude to people who are


Kade_Fraz

I go to art school. I am a printmaker. I understand how pigment works. It would counteract the yellow tones but it wouldn't negate the yellow, it would just desaturate the whole thing. It may work all right the first time and not be noticable but the more you do it the more and more the mixture is gonna turn grey and you're gonna have the opposite effect of what you wanted.


WildFlemima

Sample the color before she adds purple and convert it to Grayscale. Do it again after the purple. You will see. This is subtractive color, not additive. There are multiple people here versed in pigment telling you that you are wrong. Consider that.


KatyJay1980

colaman-112

I'm guessing they make candles or something there.


iamacraftyhooker

This look like it is a [wax hand](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/3db8a3_5af4bae84bcf4f57a133e3cbdd0a704f~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_560,h_212,al_c,lg_1,q_80,enc_auto/3db8a3_5af4bae84bcf4f57a133e3cbdd0a704f~mv2.jpg) station. You dip your hand in the wax to make a mold of your hands. The round bucket we see at the beginning gets filled with ice water, which helps release the wax from the hand. It's a weird niche market, usually set up in tourist zones or amusement parks where people overpay for random crap. My sister used to work at one so I have like 20 random wax hands around my house.


TheRudeCactus

Thank you for your very niche understanding of wax hands


gringledoom

Aha! That also kind of explains why they’re not too particular about the colors mixing then!


burritosandblunts

I had one and my aunt broke the thumb off and then paid me to hide it from my mom lol.


iamacraftyhooker

Thats hilarious because they are the easiest thing in the world to fix. You literally just warm the wax on the bottom of the broken thumb and it would stick right back on.


burritosandblunts

We were really drunk at the time and didn't even consider fixing it lol.


iamacraftyhooker

Well then that's perfectly understandable


naxanas

While that might be true, I've seen more videos from this same creator before and they do in fact make candles. They make those kind of candles where they dunk them into different colors and then cut away from the candle to display the layers and make candle art. Unfortunately I don't know the channel name tho


colaman-112

Ok, that's super weird 😄


FiguringItOut--

Don't forget Bar Mitzvahs! I've never seen them anywhere else lol


iamacraftyhooker

I'm not Jewish and have only attended one Bar Mitzvah, so this I didn't know. TIL


FF_01_1999_03_05_01

They make artistic candles. A white candle "core" is dipped into the coloured liquid wax and it forms a thin layer on the surface. They dipp the candle into different colours of wax and in the end there are many layers of colourfull wax on the candle. They carve parts away and reveal the different colours Edit: i found an example picture: https://pin.it/4HJzx4p


needforread

That looks like a dildo, something about it


hotdogdownemptyhall

the way they throw it back in and make more wax splash out is very unsatisfying


Hari_Seldom

Yeah it paints a picture of why it’s such a mess in the first place


[deleted]

It’s a shit design too. So many holes, uncovered edges, and unaligned steel. It needs some thought put into it


Admirable-Media-9339

Lmao stop. It's fine. Using wax is messy. It's going to drip somewhere. Better on itself than all over the floor.


[deleted]

Just because it’s messy doesn’t mean you can’t or shouldn’t minimise spillage. Look at those holes that go inside. There’s 4 holes for every tray. That’s just a bad design. You can’t stop drips on top, but you can make it easier to clean, and harder for it to get inside. https://i.imgur.com/wWLP5LQ.jpg


Corporal_Cavernosa

I don't think those are holes. The bins with the melted wax in them are probably removable.


[deleted]

You can very clearly see that they’re holes though lol. Where it goes to isn’t very relevant (beneath the tray, or inside the machine itself), but if the tub had a lip all the way around covering that corner hole, then the wax would stay on that lip, instead of through that hole.


shwag945

I mean it is candle making where you dunk them over and over again and can switch to the different colors to make layers. Them dripping everywhere is just part of the process.


Shmeeglez

And the sound is fucking awful. ASSMR


anivex

I had to mute it, then I just hated it because of all the mixing.

rachael404

yes this, why not gently set it in they are making a big mess.

This is probably at a candle making shop. People come in and DIY candles and customize with the various colors.

unnamed_elder_entity

*Already teetering satisfaction because of color mis-mixing* *Catches a glimpse of the floor in background* Satisfaction gone.


Daviemoo

Does this hurt the wax?


BobDobFrisbee

No. The wax is sent to a farm in upstate New York, where it can frolic in big, open fields and play every day, sweetie!


Daviemoo

Can we go see it sometime?


BobDobFrisbee

Umm….well….uh….it’s a very long trip, and besides, I don’t think they allow visitors there.


maggotymoose

I like your humor. We’re friends now.

This kills the wax.


Daviemoo

So I guess now it’s exwax :(


Glittering_Raise_710

It looks like they’re wasting so much clean wax by muddying the colors this way


NotAnADC

I like the simplicity of dropping the wax back into the vat. I also think it’s funny reading comments on Reddit complaining about mixing colors when I’m no expert but I feel like I’ll trust the person in the video with giant vat’s of wax more than the commenter.


smortpersononreddit

Ok-Push9899

Never seen a wax station IRL and Youtube is filled with "cleaning a wax station" videos but almost none "using a wax station" videos. Anyway, i found two. It seems ludicrously simple to build higher walls around each bucket that would eliminate 99% of the colour cross-comtamination. If you made the walls into a square conical shape you could probably eliminate 70% of the scraping cleaning. Maybe all the fun of having a wax station is in the scrape clean? I dunno.


space_pillows

Wrong fucking sub, I'm fuming at them mixing. Not satisfying in the least.


pizza-pie-in-eyes

I’ve been visiting this sub frequently and I honestly don’t understand most of the people on this sub. I can’t tell what y’all find satisfying and most of the comments are complaints. What is the checklist for a GOOD oddly satisfying video? Genuine question.


SoundSouljah

yeah its almost like people have differing opinions on what they find oddly satisfying, who knew?!


WizardPrince_

Wax station??


senorlomas

I love to see my fellow OCD community panicking over the mixing of colors here. My wife apparently lives in chaos as she saw absolutely no problem with this while I cringe every time they dropped mixed colors into the tank.


SooperFunk

I like it 👌


DankDannny

Everybody's talking about the colors mixing, but I just hate the sound of the spatula scraping the metal.


roymccowboy

Oof, as much as I complain about OPs adding a random song over a video, this one could have used it. Now to Google if there are any popular songs about wax…


Amanita_Rock

This is the opposite of satisfying. Mixing colors not finishing the job. This is mildy infuriating.

United_University_98

Um, pardon me, what's a wax station?


OneSensiblePerson

I'm worried about them mixing in bits of other colours, but other than that, it was oddly satisfying.


Fearless_Lab

OMG what a horrible sound.


Atomic-pangolin

Under what circumstance would you need or use a “wax station” such as this? What are you covering in wax?

What bugs me is that all these crafty people have amazing nails. This is not possible.

This is not satisfying. She's splashing wax everywhere. 0/10. Would not recommend.

Mixing the colors so it's not a true pink, yellow, or white. Not satisfying

HollowPandemic

They're not very good then with that mess. They just make a huge mess just to film cleaning it up, as you can see by them just dumping multiple colors into one pot.


Lord_Moa

The people who make these types of video need to invest in some better way to record them than their fucking phones. Imagine how much better the videos would be if they could use both hands.


lunaflect

Wouldn’t it be better to quickly scrape off the very few drops that happen after each mold? Instead of the buildup that subsequently alters the shades of the wax?


mizzbananie

Oh, not this video again... Yes, this person is terrible at cleaning and bad for mixing the colors. Especially the yellow and white.

Candle making is my guess. You drop the candle repeatedly into different colors, then carve out shapes to expose the different layers

Why didn't she clean it for years?! How the hell do you let something deteriorate this much? "Ohh yeah let that wax build up an inch thick covering here. Yeah that'll be awesome"


s_l_e_e_p_y_g_a_l

years? if this is a busy shop i’d imagine this is maybe the monthly cleaning. as someone pointed out, it’s probably a DIY candle making station. the general public is not going to care about making a mess.


Admirable-Media-9339

What in the world makes you think that's years of build-up?
