With the beaker specifically? I think he was just using it to keep himself hydrated while working. :)

Cool! It's weird seeing the beakers in a video I did't make. Also, I know nothing about cars, so I have no idea what you were doing, haha
As requested, here is a link to a bad car video with Nile Red... <a href="https://youtu.be/Mzr5pUnfug4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/Mzr5pUnfug4</a>

That is a good suggestion. However, in my opinion, I would say not really. The amount of benzoic acid in the benzaldehyde, especially after washing it, should be super low. I've washed and then distilled benzaldehyde before and there isn't much benzaldehyde left behind.
Wonderful video as always! Could a reason that the yield is skewed in favor of the Benzoic Acid be due to the fact that the reagent was already partially oxidized?
