Caulking With ICE CUBES

What happens here

The presenter moves outdoors to give the ice cube smoothing method a 'real try' on the gray siding of a shed. He applies a caulk bead along a vertical seam and attempts to smooth it with an ice cube. The ice cube proves to be very slippery, making it difficult to control and achieve a proper angle for smoothing. As anticipated, water continues to drip from the melting ice, running down the siding. The presenter notes that the method does not work very well and again highlights the mess created by the water. He concludes that using ice cubes for caulk smoothing is an ineffective and impractical hack.

Goal: The ice cube smoothing method is re-attempted on exterior shed siding, confirming its impracticality due to slipperiness, lack of precision, and persistent water dripping, leading to a definitive negative conclusion.
