SCIENTISTS ARE WRONG

SCIENTISTS ARE WRONG about testing sand and everything else about building the "perfect" #sandcastle here is the proof They say ratio of sand to water - incorrect they say that beach sand varies and not how to test it when they do test it the results are inconsistent (not good science)

Also UA-cam dont help creators much as they have proved by removing live inks on posts and allowing so much AI nonsense - Tagging is a mystery as well as the only time my channel went viral was when youtubes algo rythym recommended my content to the world - 180,000 views in about 10 hours - its happened about 4 times but lately - i am not confrontational enough to warrant attention!

    Do you have to spray the inside with WD-40 with each use? Do you spray it right there at the beach, or do you spray before you get there? Just wondering if I need to carry a bottle with me while at the beach. I'm not pro. Just something my daughter would like to do this year at the beach, so I thought I'd give it a go. Thanks!

Yuck, Every year the sand is washed away and is replaced with sandpit sand. Newport is always being washed onto instead, beautiful slushy muddy sand! I just posted a video last week finally… Listen carefully to the narration, if you'd like :-) I'm watching carefully to the end of your video :-) thanks very much for your inspiration. DEECEHAWK

    The straw tecnique is good. Is this better than using a small brush ? I'd be scared the top of the arch would break. Would you need to start the whole bridge process again if it did or could a 'repair job' be carried out. I'm also very interested in the tools you use and the cost to buy them - sorry so many questions lol 😊

    Just found your sandcastle vlogs by accident Andy so am following you on FB. I would like to try making a 'quick and easy' sandcastle like the one shown here. I know you usually do these in America and you occasionally come over to the UK. What are the best beaches you have found in England for making sandcastles. Would Skegness in Lincolnshire be suitable x

    • @SandcastleAndy
      @SandcastleAndy Місяць тому

      Do you have a set of sand shapers? - testing sand on the actual beach makes all the difference to whether you can actually do this successfully 100% success testing starts with the sandball test

    • @SandcastleAndy
      @SandcastleAndy Місяць тому

      No it isn't, started out as a joke.. as wd40 doesn't smell like anything g else We don't use WD40 any more as it's too expensive. We use silicone spray, it is cleaner and doesn't encourage mold I. Our high humidity area.. although big picture, sray on water Proof and uv resistant sunblock can't be good either right?

    Hey Andy! I live in Naples, Florida and purchased your advance kit. Tools work great. I do well with hand stacking but can’t seem to get the ratio right for the bucket method. I think the sand here is different than your sand. Maybe I need less water and more sand? Anyway, thanks for this video-I’ll give the bucket method another try

    • @SandcastleAndy
      @SandcastleAndy Місяць тому

      Hey there - you have to experiment with different parts of the beach first dig away all the loose sand and start on the hard packed sand next to last nights high tide line - then if your beach has been recently renourished or rebuilt - try another spot that wasn't touched - if the beach is raked everyday - go closer to the water where it is not touched - and finally there is no such thing as too much water in a formed bucket of sand - displacement is the key to getting all the air out and giving your sand its best chance of sticking together - if you have debris and shell matter in the mixture try using a window screen to get the big stuff out, see if all that works!! but sometimes GEOLOGY just lets ya down - go for it and let me know
