What happens here
This video explores an unconventional method for shaping and smoothing sealant beads using ice cubes, testing its effectiveness both indoors and outdoors. The technique involves applying caulk and then attempting to smooth it with a melting ice cube, under the premise that the water acts as a lubricant. The video critically evaluates the practicality and results of this method.

(8,815 characters)this Kristiana hope unit help paint live TV this is another hack video for you these are gonna be some really unusual painting hacks stuff you can do with items in your refrigerator that old paintbrush this isn't any good anymore duct tape and what can possibly you do with ice cubes in painting if you want to see what I'm gonna do use these things for stay tuned for this video all right our first half of the day in a pinch if you need a cup holder see all my cup holders are taken up I don't have any room but guess what if you have a roll of duct tape or better yet teawrex tape look what you can do I got myself and the Instinct cup holder how my drinks not gonna spill I can be driving down the road grab a tape just throw it right in the center of my t-rex tape and I got myself a cup holder I don't know I can put it maybe I can put it there I can put it here I don't know I got myself cup holder anywhere I want it with a simple roll of T Rex tape all right to our next hack is using ice cubes to smooth out your caulking I'm not gonna say where I saw this hack or this painting tip but this is crazy so the whole idea behind this is I'm gonna put my caulking on here now I'm gonna take this ice cube instead of my finger because the ice cube is wet and now I can smooth my caulking out with the ice tube I have to say this is what the most ridiculous crazy hacks I have ever heard my fingers are already freezing cold I can't imagine caulking then with this ice cube in here and as this ice cube melts the water is getting out my wall it's getting on my trim but the theory behind this is the ice as it melts it wets your caulking but it what rate is it going to freeze my caulking is it gonna wet my caulking is it gonna drip down the tram but who in the world can sit here and hold ice cubes all day long and wear going to get the ice cubes this is crazy to give it an actual try or an actual chance we got actually you know try it so we are gonna try it so got my ice cube right here oh well the ice cubes a little bit slippery so see okay that's not working so well maybe if I turn it okay that's that it works around I got water running down that's not working very well did we get in the corner no I didn't work too well maybe we'll see here and wait till it melts to get to the proper angle but now I got water dripping down like cocky that's that fingers are really cold so didn't quite work out so well so I'm just gonna smooth this out in baguette all right here's our next tap when you're in a pinch you don't have a lot of funnels like I do not my garage and you need a funnel really quick I got a really cool tip for you and that is you just reach into your refrigerator and one of these things can become a funnel for you a milk heart and a water jug what I'm gonna do is just cut off a portion of a jug and now you've got yourself a pretty handy funnel be careful this isn't like two-inch not if you don't want to cut yourself and save yourself to the hospital over making a funnel and your funnel even has a lid on it if you need a lid but now I've got a pretty handy funnel for whatever I need to do this it's like that simple and easy.if I need to get some paint into a small jump like that here's my funnel to create a fast or almond milk jugs all right here's another hack for you and I'm not sure if you're as blind as me but see I'm getting old I'm in my 50s now and reading these little numbers on these nippers is getting more and more difficult as the years go by I can see them look really close but this is a hat gonna take some white now I'm gonna rub it on there with the little brush and then wipe it off in theoretically it's gonna leave the white outs in the numbers and no one else so the numbers will show up and I've never tried this so we're gonna see if this happily works this is something I saw somewhere somewhere but I can't remember where if I put some wite-out on there now I'll try just wiping it off with my hand and wow it actually worked I can read the numbers so much better now so just like that my numbers are extremely readable we'll try that on another pair of nippers because who knows maybe these nippers were different than the rest of them but this hack might actually work I think I'm kind of liking it this is what we would call an old guy hack this time I would be a little more careful wipe it off you see here you know not quite as well but it didn't work on that one so there it is give it a drop give it a cry or give it a try there you go the whiteout hack a wise man once told me not to throw away my used brushes I use them as duster brushes but see this wise man told me I can use it as a push stick for my table saw so here we go I've gotta use brush I'm gonna see if you know how easy it is to make a push stick out of this thing so cuz you know it's better to push with a stick then push with your fingers cuz it's better to lose some of the stick than it is to lose some of the bone from your fingers so that pretty fast so that doesn't say a whole lot about how that thing was put together but there you go safety glass is gone ready to go so I'm gonna cut a piece of wood but before I do that you don't thinking you know maybe I should so kind of not in there so I can grip my wood better well you know what we'll just try without cutting a notch in there because that scares me sticking that little brush in there try to cut Nick does that think it actually worked without a knot so here we go [Music] you got yourself a push stick with an old dress here's my last hack for you and Sumer you have some of these hacks been really cool some of them in kind of funny kind of weird the whole ice cube thing don't get it um this one it's actually like this as much as they heat more days I don't keep my eyes in my frigerator but I had a friend I sleep got a friend ma my daughter brought me some Maddox because she had some in her frigerator watch what we can do with this hopefully your managed guard is um almost empty because this one is almost full so I'm gonna have to get rid of the manatees so they have to take a commercial break and get rid of this Maddox if

so you can't see it and because nowadays is white this paint is white now we're just going to you know paint the inside of this jar white so it looks like there's so look we're just painting it white it's probably better to you know wait a little bit longer see electric charge or I you know I didn't let it dry but hey it looks like there's Mattie's in there now watch what we're gonna do we scrape the sides or like Spooner so it makes it looks like it's used look at that a Jew's jar so now what I guess what I got I have my water so this is just my walk because I'm gonna stash this stuff in my
