After a very long journey and over 20 attempts, I finally find success in something that's continuously eluded me: making optically clear glass. Starting from resources I've collected from their natural source, I add one more ingredient to finally make this long-sought goal achievable.

Many years ago i was in a "Glashütte". Baically a German Glass producer. they explained us there that to get rid of of the greenish tone from the Iron impurities they add "braunstein" which is, if my School chemistry doesnt fail me, Mangandioxid. While Iron is the yellowish green tone Mangandioxid will make it violett. Both are complementary colours so you end up with gray clear glass. Thats what they at least explained to us. But seeing as you mentioned making soap you propably knew that the Mangandioxid is know as "Glasmacherseife", Glas maker soap.

Hi Andy, I really enjoyed the video. It's amazing to see how far you've come. Have you considered washing your sand with hot HCl to remove any trace iron impurities? When you dissolved your roasted sand/NaOH mixture and filtered out the insolubles, the color was reddish brown. To me, that suggests there were Fe(III) ions in solution. If you were to wash your sand in HCL with your sep funnel (followed by washing steps with distilled water) a few times before the roasting step, I bet you could greatly reduce the iron impurities. Anyways good luck.

This is probably your best episode. You were neat and careful, it has good information, it is well written and filmed, it tells a story that goes first through your initial slumps and finally to success, which makes it much more entertaining. I think it shows well your progress and in my opinion it should lay the standard to your videos going forward. Congrats!
