That too, but you want to spread the tooth paste and let it dry, it will help in making it easier to burn. The white Toothpaste dries to a powdery texture that burns much easier than the plastic bag does.
@@bentramer682 as someone who worked as a correctional officer, I've seen all sorts of things snuck into a prison. But you can start a fire with a 9 volt battery and steel wool, both of which not too hard to get ahold of in prison.
I guess it should be just a little bit of toothpaste spread out on the bag and maybe letting it dry a couple of hours. Then you shouldn't roll the bag up so much, it needs air in between to burn properly. I think the toothpaste would give the plastic more flux and stickyness, taking longer to harden and doing more damage. From the listed compounds of burning PE you should really care about the Halogenated Compounds like Dioxins... Bad stuff!
I was going to say that they should let the toothpaste dry into a chalk-like substance; it was probably used to keep the bag attached to the handle if they said it was used as adhesive. It obviously won't burn if it's still soggy either.
As a kid we used to do this around the campfire cause if you let the drips fall from high up they make cool star wars blaster, "Pew Pew" sounds. I got 2 drips on the back of my thumb. It was a painful mess and I still have scars 20 years later.
Exactly! On scout campouts we’d light these and hold them 3 or 4 feet off the ground and each drip would make the coolest, loud “zilch” sound like a slow motion laser blast. Black (poly?) bags worked best. Of course, younger kids would go nuts with this and the risk of injuries forced us to ban the practice.
This all needs to culminate in a movie. We know there's gonna be spy stuff, a prison scene, a minimalist hippie commune, and need to infiltrate some sort of fancy society.... Make it happen Spielberg!!!
Please for their own sake, when Jason and Brian are about to do something stupid and dangerous just yell at them to put on their safety goggles at least. If not full face coverings like the welding masks. If any of that had bubbled and burst or spattered their handsome mugs were 1,000% exposed
Currently playing a game of Cyberpunk 2020 where our party has ended up in the slammer. You guys have given me so many wrenches to throw into the GM's plans. You would not believe the looks you get when the "What do you do?" question is immediately answered with "I start building a spear."
While playing D&D with family and friends, my brother the DM, tried that. He forgot that I used to be a prison guard. The resulting 3 hours was spent laughing our asses off as I based our escape based on emptying our waste buckets on guards that tried to break up a fight amongst us. Never underestimate what an inmate will do, they have all the time in the world to come up with a plan.
3:00 Glad I'm not the only one that uses electrical wire to secure things when I can't find anything else lol. Sadly, this shit is definitely true in prisons. Especially in south america.
3:57 Exactly - "But the main thing is your going to have hot plastic sticking onto your skin" Why I think cauldrons of boiling oil, like used to protect castle walls (may not be factually accurate) was so effective.
I can confirm that getting burning molten plastic on your skin sucks really, really bad. I was standing over a bucket of water at the time and even plunging it in nearly instantly the burns were quite bad and the plastic had fused to the upper layer of skin. I can't recommend the experience.
yeah i once got some molten plastic on me but i couldn't get under cold water straight away. it was only a tiny bit thank god but it let a hole in my skin well over a month
@@emrefifty5281 Ask and you shall receive, but I'm afraid the story might be a bit underwhelming. I was trying to secure some gizmo with a length of thick nylon rope and having a hard time doing so, the end of the rope kept fraying which made tying knots a chore. Being the little pyromaniac problemsolver I was I recalled that one could burn the ends of plastic ropes to fuse them together. While the idea was excelent in theory, in practice I had neglected to make sure that my hands weren't underneath the burning rope. A mistake I won't soon forget. It's at this point that I should admit that having a bucket of water nearby was pure luck as it had just rained and there were some buckets left outside. Having them nearby probably saved me a lot of recovery time as it did limit the damage quite a bit.
Ckasp oh god but I did something very similar but on a much smaller scale, it was a the end of a piece of paracord that I melted a little too long and dripped onto my middle finger still have a scar on it
6:53 - In my younger days, like 30 years ago, we used to call plastic bags on the end of sticks, Zitser sticks, on account of the onomatopoeic repetitive sound the hot dripping plastic made. Some bags did a better job than others but industrial heavy duty bags were the absolute best. Defo a good prison weapon and a good option when tattooing isn't hardcore anymore and scarring/zitser stick scarring is preferred!
I used to do this every time I went camping when I was younger. I'd make a rope from plastic bags and hang it from a stick before lighting it on the fire. The drops of molten plastic made a satisfying noise when they fell :)
Appreciate the little timer next to the text that flashes up, genuinely love the little touches on the edit (also Celsius is a fab bonus too, as a UK viewer it helps tremendously).
The toothpaste in jail is quite a bit different than what you can but in the store. It makes a strong glue you can hang stuff on the wall with it. And toilet paper makes a good pillow..
"Don't burn platstic" Well, should've told me that when I was younger, I do have a small scar from a 3rd degree burn where a piece of platic I was lighting on fire (one of those screw-caps) was picked up by the wind and landed on my chest. So yeah kids, don't play with fire -unless you know what you're doing-
I don't know about the toothpaste part but the quickest most efficient way I know of to burn the trash bags is to tie knots in the bag every few inches to make somewhat of a trash bag rope. Hang it off a coat hanger then light it at the bottom hold it high over a bucket of water (or close to a snitches face) and enjoy the neat sound the flaming plastic makes on its way down. We called them zilches because that's the sound it made.
Toothpaste truly is an extremely useful, ubiquitous, and essential ingredient in many different applications in prison. It, for example, was an essential ingredient along with the ashes from burnt chess pieces, cigarette ashes, water, and a few more ingredients mixed together to make the ink in the tattoo my brother got when he was in prison. The actual tattoo gun they used was made out of a toothbrush with the staple from a book of matches straightened out and melted into the end of it. The staple was then wrapped with thread that was scavenged from a bed sheet leaving just the sharp tip exposed. Then they dipped the tattoo gun into the homemade ink and the thread would soak the ink up. The "artist" would then either poke or scratch the ink deep into the skin, depending on the effect that was desired. I will tell you one thing, people get extremely creative and crafty in prison, some of the things I've seen and heard are just absolutely amazing and incredible. Not everyone in prison is a dumb criminal, there are some pretty smart people in there with a variety of skills and knowledge and I actually learned a lot. Its actually pretty funny and I forget what movie it was but it's absolutely true, some people go in to prison petty theifs and come out criminal masterminds. You can learn a lot of stuff in prison that u just won't learn anywhere else.
Technically not napalm because napalm is more like a scoulding hot weaponized candle used to cause as much pain as possible while burning for long periods of time. You didn't hear it from me, but definitely *don't mix gasoline and styrofoam*
@@thehonestorange713 That's the easy kids way. There's a much more effective way of getting true napalm, and it is far more intense and worse. Bar soap is a lovely product that was created, and can solve all of your cleaning needs.
I actually melted a gatorade bottle when I was younger during a blackout just because I'm a pyro and I did stupid s*** when I was younger I still can see the scars I'm not overly disfigured but that was probably close to ten years ago
@@spingebill8551 what's really good for making torches probably not in prison because I doubt they have them but if you ever find those like 5 oz juice barrels that's what they're called I think the shove one on a stick and then you melt that and then you shove another one on and you keep doing that to you can't anymore it makes a damn decent torch
Was camping once with my buddy and his brother when we were teenagers. We found out that the plastic milk jugs, in our case water jugs, burn pretty awesomely. We used a coat hanger to stick into the opening of the jug and hold over the fire to start on fire and then the dripping plastic splashing around on the rocks and ground was very cool, but of course super dangerous.
Hot rubber/plastic is scary. When I was a teenager we had a bonfire where unknown to any of us there was some trash underneath the pile of wood. An hour later I walk past the fire through an area where the fire had already gone out and a big glob of that melted stuff stuck to my left shoe and as I went to take another step it was mashed into my right leg. Luckily I didn't need to go to the hospital and I got it off my leg after it cooled, but the pain easily topped my previous most painful experience, picking up a cow-killer with my fingers.
FUN STORY TIME! Back in the 3rd grade we were making some kind of arts and crafts stuff, I forget even for what, with hot glue guns! Yay! Hot glue burns are kinda annoying, pretty painful for kids. We had about a dozen or so small guns. But there was one, big, industrial looking gun that the teacher got lent from the upper classes art teacher. Awesome. Being the industrious young lad that I was, I decided to use that one. I had a few small hot glue burns from earlier, but this one, this one took the cake. It hurt way worse AND when I went to run it under cold water then peel it off, my fingertip came off with it. That's right kids, I ripped my entire finger pad and most of the tip right off. And not even with that much force. Yeah... Those were the days... No moral or anything, just trauma.
That's what I was thinking: you start with a rolled up trashbag, you smear one side with toothpaste, and you set the other side on fire. Maybe put toothpaste on your hands too as poor inmate's thermal paste.
@@treyslider6954 toothpaste in prison dries pretty easily so you apply it and then let it sit and dry, and the two things you stuck together with it are now bonded.
When I was screwing around melting plastic one time I managed to get it to spill over my hand, It went from a liquid to being solid soon it touched and it was just hard to scrape off, when it did get scraped off it peeled some of my skin with it and what I remember was that it was just red where the plastic was previously. It was obviously painful on contact and being stuck and having to scrap off skin with it to just get it off was a uncomfortable thing. Take it from me, It's not a bloody pleasant experience to have happen and I don't suggest even attempting to do anything like this without taking the correct safety measures. I learnt my lesson the hard way, This video brought that back up from memory.
I still have a scar on my arm from the time I got burning/melting PVC pipe on it. It doesn't always stick, and if you have the chance to move (Which I doubt in this case), you can get it off before it adheres but it will definitely scar you, and it hurts like a sonofabitch. I only got like a dime-sized droplet on my arm and was able to flick the semi-molten plastic off in time, and it hurt for a good while afterwards. Burns are a seriously messed up punishment. That all being said, I personally think it would make more sense in a prison environment to brand someone. Given kitchen privileges, or even just some frayed wires and a socket, it'd be much more reliable, much faster, and the materials would be much easier to hide imho.
I watched this video 4 years ago, but I feel I should add about 2 months ago I was melting zinc pennies and I picked up a penny with melting zinc but solid copper and dropped it on board shorts and it was impossible to get off before it melted through my shorts and burnt my leg
I remember making these kinds of things from a stick stuck into a plastic bottle and wrapped with plastic bags. We'd make these with my cousins at the countryside to recreate bombs because when they drop, they make a whistling noise that sounds like a bomb, I loved doing these.
I've berned myself in the arm when i was a kid, it dripped on me and i had to rip offthe skin that had plastic to reach almost flesh, definitely not a funny experience, 10 years later the marks look like they are recent, they are here to stay, and when i ripped the skin off it didn't even hurt for a good 15 minutes but when it came it hurted for weeks non stop, also i did not went to hospital i just used first aid and water and vaseline and it took me more than 2 years to the "holes" of the drops in my harm to reach the height of the rest of my arm, not when i touch it feels completely normal , no hole or anything, just the scar, although it hurts when it gets too hot like when i'm to close to a fire place and the skin starts to warm up
Done this as a kid with shopping bags.. it makes really cool sound as it flies through the air (hold it high up). Got a 2 small scars from it too lol yes, it does stick to skin...
This also works pretty well with the rip-apart bit from Soda bottle caps (the plastic ones) only it's much less burning plastic. Used to play with that as a kid. It makes this weird whistling noise if you get it right (and drop it far enough).
I had a plastic bag melted onto my chest and arms as a kid and I had to rip small chunks of my skin off to get it off me left loads of small holes in me
Melted a plastic drinking straw and it dripped onto my hand. NOT FUN I can attest I spent about a week picking tiny pieces out of my hand and about a month and a half healing afterwards.
In medieval times they poured boiling water and hot sand (not oil, even though that's what they show on tv and in movies, it was too expensive/scarce to use) on invaders during sieges, so this can be used for self-defence, if you're above your attacker!
What's weird about that? Does something need to have self-defence purpose to be called a weapon? There are plenty of weapons that are purely offensive.
I had a project that involved the use of a glue gun, somehow I managed to get the metal tip stuck on my forearm and it wasn't coming of, second degree burn.
From experience of experiments when I was a kid going wrong I can tell you this. It looks like when I would twist grocery store bags up like a rat tail for a towel and then light the bottom. (It makes a cool sound effect if the liquid plastic is allowed to fall for a foot or 2. Like a little high pitched *zoom*). BUT it also causes burn blisters if it touches your skin, and it does not come off quick and easy. By the time you realize you are burning your skin is starting to sizzle, and the plastic sticks. Instincts kick in and you wipe on your pants quick but the damage is done, and you are going to be nursing that burn all day if you dont have cream. Not worth the sound effects. don't do it. Luckily I don't have scars and only got a stray drip that was lesson enough to teach me to stop.
Is someone else supposed to be there holding the person down or does the entire premise of this torture hinge on the fact that this person is just gonna lay there and let someone drip molten plastic all over his face, cause I'm pretty sure that even if the guy was sleeping, as soon as the very first piece of molten plastic hit his skin, he'd be up freakin out and fighting back not to mention screaming, so in order for this to even work, there would probably have to be at least another 2 people there holding the guy down and keeping him quiet so the guards dont hear and come running. Honestly, it would probably just be easier to shank the guy, and that's probably what happened most of the time. I'll definitely give you points for sadistic creativity tho, way to stand out from the crowd.
You get it to the point where it's fast burning and you just put the entire end of the torch on their face... done. Also, they mentioned using toothpaste as adhesive prior to going into this ... I don't know why it didn't occur to them that the toothpaste may have been used just as adhesive about 3-5 inches from the tip to keep the bag on there -- it's not what's supposed to burn.
@@domini1337 What would that do, the whole idea is basically a torture, it's a punishment, they're talking about dripping molten plastic on somebody's skin so that it melts and fuses with the skin and is hard to get off, that wouldn't happen if you just lit it on fire and put it on their face, it would just go out right away, and I didn't even mention anything about the toothpaste so idk why you even brought it up
What they say is completely true. I once tried to burn down a plastic straw, and it accidentally melted on top of my ring finger HURTS LIKE HELL and yes, when i peeled it, some of my skin came off with it very educational & informative I know i made the right desicion to subscribe since the beginning when you guys got like 20k subs or so never regret it since
A little spot of toothpaste is used just to hold the plastic bag wrapped together and not unravelling off before you're ready to use it and you got it burning properly, that's all. Also the dude there needs to put the flame toit for more than half a second at a time to get it started burning well.
When I was younger, I actually saw a video of inmates doing this exact thing to a person. If only I could go back and tell my stupider self to not dig in places he shouldn't belong.
Here’s some ideas that were actually used in prison at some point. Turning a plastic bottle into a hardened shank, using a large amount of match heads to make a bomb, making a spear gun out of magazines as the barrel and paper as the projectile and making a gun out of a fans motor that shot pool balls.
Those trash bags take a long time to start... However... Sandwich bags (!) will burn instantly, since they're super thin (same material, probably). You get these burning drops that whistle as they fall. (Looks pretty sweet at night time) And yes, they do stick; Yes, they can continue burning when they land on your skin. Yes, you tear off the top layer of skin when you peel off the plastic. And yes, they give you instant blisters that will leave permanent scars. (I eh.. I was fascinated with fire when I was a kid. Got a bunch of those scars on my knuckles, still very much visible after 25 years) * Maybe the source of the story meant those see-through bin liners for toiletries n stuff, not the bigger bags. Seems like you would be able to hide those easier. (Plus, fair chance the cleaners put a full role in the bin - taking away the top one when it's full. In schools, office buildings, hotels that's common practise among cleaners, at least. If that's the case, no one would even notice the bag missing) Right. Clearly I have too much time on my hands... (Either that, or I'm well prepared some future scenario, where my strange mix of acquired knowledge suddenly allows me to save the day.... Or become king of what's left..) I bid you good day, sirs
Story time , one time I was sewing up an athletic bag with 12 pound test fishing line , normal thread would be ripped easily for the bags purpose , and when I got to the end of the job I did a few knots and instead of clipping the remaining tail end off I decided to burn it off . Well let's just say a small piece of the burning line landed on the middle finger of the hand I was supporting the bag with , it was on there for a second I had like a half inch wound . Morel of the story , plastics can seriously burn you and use scissors or clippers to remove excess material .
I've actually had melted flaming plastic land on my face. It burns the skin and sticks. It solidifies pretty quickly, but continues to burn the flesh under it. So you gotta peel it off, which rips off a few layers of skin.
When you have plastic melted to your skin it hurts like a son of a gun but, for the most part it doesn't do much. My friends and I were making smoke bombs and, a stray piece of molten plastic fused to my hand. The most it does is causes a little bit of discoloration to the skin.
I must say, I do really love the format of "here's somehting cool, let's try it out". Modern rogue, king of random, etc. It's like having my 14 year old friends back and we're not reading the anarchist cookbook and not making cherry bombs together, and certainly not that thing in the park where all the grass needed replacing.
Similar effect as hot glue. I once put my whole palm in a puddle of it that some idiot had been playing with in shop class and it was a similar nightmare. Instinctively trying to rub it off and only making it worse by burning the other hand as well. Got some pretty good bubbly skin from that.
Me and a friend would take a plastic bucket, and set a small portion on fire, and watch it drip. Now, to be fair, we did take precautions, got grass away from it, anything flammable really. Still had it drip a couple times, splatter, and land on my leg. You would think it hurts, and it does after a couple days. However; the plastic is so hot, it instantly scorches the nerve endings, and you dont really feel anything.
My grandparents live in a rural area and we have to burn their garbage to dispose of it. And as I was doing so one day I got a small drop of molten plastic on the inside of my wrist because I was being clumsy. I was able to peel it off my flesh almost immediately after the plastic hardened which took about 20 seconds and the pain wasnt immediate. But I felt it about a minute or so after peeling off the plastic along with a few layers of flesh underneath the burn and it was probably the worst pain I've ever experienced. This happened 6 or 7 years ago and I still have a circular shaped scar on the inside of my wrist.
I've watched a ton of these videos over the last week. I no longer work at work and have included headphones to my on hand office supplies. Thank You MR for allowing for my early retirement, as well as adding Austin to my next vacation stop. Where can I catch you guys in Austin?
Fun story. I welded for solid couple years, and when I was In training, they always said wear leather or denim or cotton. NEVER POLYESTER. This is because if it melts, it melts and fuses with your skin. SO when you go to brush it off, half or all your skin goes with it. So not only is this used in prison, it's a daily occurrence in the welding field. And yes it does hurt like hell.
This blew my mind when I realized you were the scam school guy back in the day. I used to watch your stuff almost 10 years ago, now I'm watching your stuff in 2018 lol
Also don't work in plastic extrusion factories. The machines pour out near-molton semi-liquid plastic in different amounts and recipes which you have to set and trim while it's still hot enough to burn you through your gloves. Not to mention plastic spraying/ flaking of in the event of a drop or machine malfunction.
Guys, that thermometer uses a camera to read infrared so it has an angle of view. You need to read the documentation that comes with it, but basically, the further away you hold it from the area you're trying to guage - the more inaccurate it will be. It takes an average of heat in its field of view and divides that into a percentage. You need to be as close as possible or be willing to accept inaccurate readings. In other news, you guys are awesome and we all love you!!!!!!!!!
Ive had a 2 inch circle of plastic that was at over boiling from a spare tire holder and a OA torch. Wipe it off immediately and you will be fine. It was just a light burn no scarring
I am fairly sure that the contents and composition of consumer products like plastic bags and toothpaste were altered over the decades. the "halogenated compounds" listed in the MSDS of the bags sugsests that fireproofing compounds were added. pure PE foil would likely burn much better (in terms of chemistry it's glorified candle wax, not too dissimilar to lamp oil or jet fuel, minus the additives and impurities but with much longer chains) also in case you are interested in horrific incendiaries, a amateur chemistry chanel called exlosionsandfire2 did a great video on white phosphorus. It's actually quite funny. you could of course try one of the many recepies for improvised napalm.
My friend and i once did something like this while making a bonfire, we used thick construction bag plastic but same effect and he ended up getting some on his foot. From what i remember he was in visible pain for a minute from just one drop. It did act like napalm and he had to peel it off
I knew this would work 100%. When I was an angsty teenager, I had a habit of burning things. One day I was burning a 2 liter bottle (in my room. what an idiot, jesus christ.) and the plastic from the bottle melted off JUST like this, right onto my finger. It took forever to heal and now there's a dent in my finger. For the rest of my life. Like Brian and Jason said, "If anyone is dumb enough to be thinking of melting plastic near their flesh, they should reconsider. This is a horrible nightmare, and it will disfigure you FOREVER!" I got lucky that I not only didn't burn down my room, but that it was really a pretty small burn in the grand scheme of things. One chunky drop. You see in the video how fast the plastic can start to drip once it really gets going. I could have been really messed up. Stuff is no joke.

No zip ties in prison. The toothpaste probably acts as an adhesive between bag and stick.
That too, but you want to spread the tooth paste and let it dry, it will help in making it easier to burn. The white Toothpaste dries to a powdery texture that burns much easier than the plastic bag does.

trust me, melting plastic is not fun on flesh and it does fuse and rip, I have a scar on my left knuckle from melted paracord
I can confirm that getting burning molten plastic on your skin sucks really, really bad. I was standing over a bucket of water at the time and even plunging it in nearly instantly the burns were quite bad and the plastic had fused to the upper layer of skin. I can't recommend the experience.
Oof. That sounds truly miserable.
Can we hear the story behind it?
yeah i once got some molten plastic on me but i couldn't get under cold water straight away. it was only a tiny bit thank god but it let a hole in my skin well over a month
@@emrefifty5281 Ask and you shall receive, but I'm afraid the story might be a bit underwhelming.
I was trying to secure some gizmo with a length of thick nylon rope and having a hard time doing so, the end of the rope kept fraying which made tying knots a chore. Being the little pyromaniac problemsolver I was I recalled that one could burn the ends of plastic ropes to fuse them together. While the idea was excelent in theory, in practice I had neglected to make sure that my hands weren't underneath the burning rope. A mistake I won't soon forget.
It's at this point that I should admit that having a bucket of water nearby was pure luck as it had just rained and there were some buckets left outside. Having them nearby probably saved me a lot of recovery time as it did limit the damage quite a bit.
Ckasp oh god but I did something very similar but on a much smaller scale, it was a the end of a piece of paracord that I melted a little too long and dripped onto my middle finger still have a scar on it
6:53 - In my younger days, like 30 years ago, we used to call plastic bags on the end of sticks, Zitser sticks, on account of the onomatopoeic repetitive sound the hot dripping plastic made. Some bags did a better job than others but industrial heavy duty bags were the absolute best.
Defo a good prison weapon and a good option when tattooing isn't hardcore anymore and scarring/zitser stick scarring is preferred!

I used to do this every time I went camping when I was younger. I'd make a rope from plastic bags and hang it from a stick before lighting it on the fire. The drops of molten plastic made a satisfying noise when they fell :)

A lot of times they'll dry toothpaste for breath mint. Perhaps they're using dry toothpaste.
ah yes to hide the smell of cooking flesh, but still really horrible thought that this could be a thing
That makes sense.
The toothpaste in jail is quite a bit different than what you can but in the store. It makes a strong glue you can hang stuff on the wall with it. And toilet paper makes a good pillow..
"Don't burn platstic"
Well, should've told me that when I was younger, I do have a small scar from a 3rd degree burn where a piece of platic I was lighting on fire (one of those screw-caps) was picked up by the wind and landed on my chest.
So yeah kids, don't play with fire -unless you know what you're doing-
Molten plastic is hot. More news at 11.
But seriously, don't try this shit.
I don't know about the toothpaste part but the quickest most efficient way I know of to burn the trash bags is to tie knots in the bag every few inches to make somewhat of a trash bag rope. Hang it off a coat hanger then light it at the bottom hold it high over a bucket of water (or close to a snitches face) and enjoy the neat sound the flaming plastic makes on its way down. We called them zilches because that's the sound it made.

Toothpaste truly is an extremely useful, ubiquitous, and essential ingredient in many different applications in prison. It, for example, was an essential ingredient along with the ashes from burnt chess pieces, cigarette ashes, water, and a few more ingredients mixed together to make the ink in the tattoo my brother got when he was in prison. The actual tattoo gun they used was made out of a toothbrush with the staple from a book of matches straightened out and melted into the end of it. The staple was then wrapped with thread that was scavenged from a bed sheet leaving just the sharp tip exposed. Then they dipped the tattoo gun into the homemade ink and the thread would soak the ink up. The "artist" would then either poke or scratch the ink deep into the skin, depending on the effect that was desired. I will tell you one thing, people get extremely creative and crafty in prison, some of the things I've seen and heard are just absolutely amazing and incredible. Not everyone in prison is a dumb criminal, there are some pretty smart people in there with a variety of skills and knowledge and I actually learned a lot. Its actually pretty funny and I forget what movie it was but it's absolutely true, some people go in to prison petty theifs and come out criminal masterminds. You can learn a lot of stuff in prison that u just won't learn anywhere else.
Not gonna lie, was not expecting "napalm"
Technically not napalm because napalm is more like a scoulding hot weaponized candle used to cause as much pain as possible while burning for long periods of time. You didn't hear it from me, but definitely *don't mix gasoline and styrofoam*

I once did similar small molten plastic drop on my foot when I was a kid (was wearing sandals) -- you will not forget the pain for a very long time!
I actually melted a gatorade bottle when I was younger during a blackout just because I'm a pyro and I did stupid s*** when I was younger I still can see the scars I'm not overly disfigured but that was probably close to ten years ago
Kyle Wallace you can do it with a glow stick too
@@spingebill8551 what's really good for making torches probably not in prison because I doubt they have them but if you ever find those like 5 oz juice barrels that's what they're called I think the shove one on a stick and then you melt that and then you shove another one on and you keep doing that to you can't anymore it makes a damn decent torch
That sounds fun
Im a pyro too and im 21 and i still haven't left it
Was camping once with my buddy and his brother when we were teenagers. We found out that the plastic milk jugs, in our case water jugs, burn pretty awesomely. We used a coat hanger to stick into the opening of the jug and hold over the fire to start on fire and then the dripping plastic splashing around on the rocks and ground was very cool, but of course super dangerous.
You should do a video on different processes of welding. (GTAW, GMAW, FCAW, SMAW and Oxy-Acetylene welding for example)
Hot rubber/plastic is scary. When I was a teenager we had a bonfire where unknown to any of us there was some trash underneath the pile of wood. An hour later I walk past the fire through an area where the fire had already gone out and a big glob of that melted stuff stuck to my left shoe and as I went to take another step it was mashed into my right leg. Luckily I didn't need to go to the hospital and I got it off my leg after it cooled, but the pain easily topped my previous most painful experience, picking up a cow-killer with my fingers.

FUN STORY TIME!
Back in the 3rd grade we were making some kind of arts and crafts stuff, I forget even for what, with hot glue guns! Yay! Hot glue burns are kinda annoying, pretty painful for kids. We had about a dozen or so small guns. But there was one, big, industrial looking gun that the teacher got lent from the upper classes art teacher. Awesome. Being the industrious young lad that I was, I decided to use that one. I had a few small hot glue burns from earlier, but this one, this one took the cake. It hurt way worse AND when I went to run it under cold water then peel it off, my fingertip came off with it. That's right kids, I ripped my entire finger pad and most of the tip right off. And not even with that much force. Yeah... Those were the days... No moral or anything, just trauma.
Yeah... Godammit. Let's give kids searing hot sticky liquid, and access to more!

Maybe the toothpaste is just to help it stay stuck to whatever holding device you're using?
That's what I was thinking: you start with a rolled up trashbag, you smear one side with toothpaste, and you set the other side on fire. Maybe put toothpaste on your hands too as poor inmate's thermal paste.
@@treyslider6954 toothpaste in prison dries pretty easily so you apply it and then let it sit and dry, and the two things you stuck together with it are now bonded.
When I was screwing around melting plastic one time I managed to get it to spill over my hand, It went from a liquid to being solid soon it touched and it was just hard to scrape off, when it did get scraped off it peeled some of my skin with it and what I remember was that it was just red where the plastic was previously. It was obviously painful on contact and being stuck and having to scrap off skin with it to just get it off was a uncomfortable thing.
Take it from me, It's not a bloody pleasant experience to have happen and I don't suggest even attempting to do anything like this without taking the correct safety measures.
I learnt my lesson the hard way, This video brought that back up from memory.
I have scar from 6 years ago from a single drop of molten plastic bag.
I still have a scar on my arm from the time I got burning/melting PVC pipe on it. It doesn't always stick, and if you have the chance to move (Which I doubt in this case), you can get it off before it adheres but it will definitely scar you, and it hurts like a sonofabitch. I only got like a dime-sized droplet on my arm and was able to flick the semi-molten plastic off in time, and it hurt for a good while afterwards. Burns are a seriously messed up punishment.
That all being said, I personally think it would make more sense in a prison environment to brand someone. Given kitchen privileges, or even just some frayed wires and a socket, it'd be much more reliable, much faster, and the materials would be much easier to hide imho.

I watched this video 4 years ago, but I feel I should add about 2 months ago I was melting zinc pennies and I picked up a penny with melting zinc but solid copper and dropped it on board shorts and it was impossible to get off before it melted through my shorts and burnt my leg
Can you guys poop there yet? Im very concerned about your bowel health.
I remember making these kinds of things from a stick stuck into a plastic bottle and wrapped with plastic bags. We'd make these with my cousins at the countryside to recreate bombs because when they drop, they make a whistling noise that sounds like a bomb, I loved doing these.
I've berned myself in the arm when i was a kid, it dripped on me and i had to rip offthe skin that had plastic to reach almost flesh, definitely not a funny experience, 10 years later the marks look like they are recent, they are here to stay, and when i ripped the skin off it didn't even hurt for a good 15 minutes but when it came it hurted for weeks non stop, also i did not went to hospital i just used first aid and water and vaseline and it took me more than 2 years to the "holes" of the drops in my harm to reach the height of the rest of my arm, not when i touch it feels completely normal , no hole or anything, just the scar, although it hurts when it gets too hot like when i'm to close to a fire place and the skin starts to warm up

to be honest, melting trash bags is used more for making plastic shanks that break off in the body more than melting on people in the joint....js
Done this as a kid with shopping bags.. it makes really cool sound as it flies through the air (hold it high up). Got a 2 small scars from it too lol yes, it does stick to skin...
do it as a kid too, fucked up my palm at the time tho
The FLIR cam would have been nice too!
This also works pretty well with the rip-apart bit from Soda bottle caps (the plastic ones) only it's much less burning plastic. Used to play with that as a kid. It makes this weird whistling noise if you get it right (and drop it far enough).
I had a plastic bag melted onto my chest and arms as a kid and I had to rip small chunks of my skin off to get it off me left loads of small holes in me
I am suddenly thinking back to the time I got burned with a homemade torch made from a pad. The plastic was not great.
Melted a plastic drinking straw and it dripped onto my hand. NOT FUN I can attest I spent about a week picking tiny pieces out of my hand and about a month and a half healing afterwards.

Is it a meme? 😕
From experience of experiments when I was a kid going wrong I can tell you this. It looks like when I would twist grocery store bags up like a rat tail for a towel and then light the bottom. (It makes a cool sound effect if the liquid plastic is allowed to fall for a foot or 2. Like a little high pitched *zoom*). BUT it also causes burn blisters if it touches your skin, and it does not come off quick and easy. By the time you realize you are burning your skin is starting to sizzle, and the plastic sticks. Instincts kick in and you wipe on your pants quick but the damage is done, and you are going to be nursing that burn all day if you dont have cream.
Not worth the sound effects. don't do it. Luckily I don't have scars and only got a stray drip that was lesson enough to teach me to stop.
Is someone else supposed to be there holding the person down or does the entire premise of this torture hinge on the fact that this person is just gonna lay there and let someone drip molten plastic all over his face, cause I'm pretty sure that even if the guy was sleeping, as soon as the very first piece of molten plastic hit his skin, he'd be up freakin out and fighting back not to mention screaming, so in order for this to even work, there would probably have to be at least another 2 people there holding the guy down and keeping him quiet so the guards dont hear and come running. Honestly, it would probably just be easier to shank the guy, and that's probably what happened most of the time. I'll definitely give you points for sadistic creativity tho, way to stand out from the crowd.
You get it to the point where it's fast burning and you just put the entire end of the torch on their face... done.
Also, they mentioned using toothpaste as adhesive prior to going into this ... I don't know why it didn't occur to them that the toothpaste may have been used just as adhesive about 3-5 inches from the tip to keep the bag on there -- it's not what's supposed to burn.
@@domini1337
What would that do, the whole idea is basically a torture, it's a punishment, they're talking about dripping molten plastic on somebody's skin so that it melts and fuses with the skin and is hard to get off, that wouldn't happen if you just lit it on fire and put it on their face, it would just go out right away, and I didn't even mention anything about the toothpaste so idk why you even brought it up

A little spot of toothpaste is used just to hold the plastic bag wrapped together and not unravelling off before you're ready to use it and you got it burning properly, that's all. Also the dude there needs to put the flame toit for more than half a second at a time to get it started burning well.

Turning a plastic bottle into a hardened shank, using a large amount of match heads to make a bomb, making a spear gun out of magazines as the barrel and paper as the projectile and making a gun out of a fans motor that shot pool balls.
You have to lay the toothpaste,let it dry out then light it with a cellmade candle, the kind we melt chess pieces for tattoo ink. Duh. 😂 😉
Those trash bags take a long time to start...
However... Sandwich bags (!) will burn instantly, since they're super thin (same material, probably).
You get these burning drops that whistle as they fall. (Looks pretty sweet at night time)
And yes, they do stick;
Yes, they can continue burning when they land on your skin.
Yes, you tear off the top layer of skin when you peel off the plastic.
And yes, they give you instant blisters that will leave permanent scars.
(I eh.. I was fascinated with fire when I was a kid. Got a bunch of those scars on my knuckles, still very much visible after 25 years)
* Maybe the source of the story meant those see-through bin liners for toiletries n stuff, not the bigger bags.
Seems like you would be able to hide those easier.
(Plus, fair chance the cleaners put a full role in the bin - taking away the top one when it's full. In schools, office buildings, hotels that's common practise among cleaners, at least.
If that's the case, no one would even notice the bag missing)
Right. Clearly I have too much time on my hands...

Story time , one time I was sewing up an athletic bag with 12 pound test fishing line , normal thread would be ripped easily for the bags purpose , and when I got to the end of the job I did a few knots and instead of clipping the remaining tail end off I decided to burn it off . Well let's just say a small piece of the burning line landed on the middle finger of the hand I was supporting the bag with , it was on there for a second I had like a half inch wound . Morel of the story , plastics can seriously burn you and use scissors or clippers to remove excess material .
I love this channel. It’s like Mythbusters meets The Dollop.
I've actually had melted flaming plastic land on my face.
It burns the skin and sticks. It solidifies pretty quickly, but continues to burn the flesh under it.
So you gotta peel it off, which rips off a few layers of skin.
When you have plastic melted to your skin it hurts like a son of a gun but, for the most part it doesn't do much. My friends and I were making smoke bombs and, a stray piece of molten plastic fused to my hand. The most it does is causes a little bit of discoloration to the skin.
I must say, I do really love the format of "here's somehting cool, let's try it out". Modern rogue, king of random, etc. It's like having my 14 year old friends back and we're not reading the anarchist cookbook and not making cherry bombs together, and certainly not that thing in the park where all the grass needed replacing.
Nice way to bring back "hey did you know that's napalm"
Similar effect as hot glue. I once put my whole palm in a puddle of it that some idiot had been playing with in shop class and it was a similar nightmare. Instinctively trying to rub it off and only making it worse by burning the other hand as well. Got some pretty good bubbly skin from that.
Been playing with fire for 25+ years, the only moderately serious burn I've received was from burning plastic - this stuff's not a joke, be safe!
Me and a friend would take a plastic bucket, and set a small portion on fire, and watch it drip. Now, to be fair, we did take precautions, got grass away from it, anything flammable really. Still had it drip a couple times, splatter, and land on my leg. You would think it hurts, and it does after a couple days. However; the plastic is so hot, it instantly scorches the nerve endings, and you dont really feel anything.
My grandparents live in a rural area and we have to burn their garbage to dispose of it. And as I was doing so one day I got a small drop of molten plastic on the inside of my wrist because I was being clumsy. I was able to peel it off my flesh almost immediately after the plastic hardened which took about 20 seconds and the pain wasnt immediate. But I felt it about a minute or so after peeling off the plastic along with a few layers of flesh underneath the burn and it was probably the worst pain I've ever experienced. This happened 6 or 7 years ago and I still have a circular shaped scar on the inside of my wrist.

Fun story. I welded for solid couple years, and when I was In training, they always said wear leather or denim or cotton. NEVER POLYESTER.

Also don't work in plastic extrusion factories. The machines pour out near-molton semi-liquid plastic in different amounts and recipes which you have to set and trim while it's still hot enough to burn you through your gloves. Not to mention plastic spraying/ flaking of in the event of a drop or machine malfunction.
Guys, that thermometer uses a camera to read infrared so it has an angle of view. You need to read the documentation that comes with it, but basically, the further away you hold it from the area you're trying to guage - the more inaccurate it will be. It takes an average of heat in its field of view and divides that into a percentage. You need to be as close as possible or be willing to accept inaccurate readings.

Ive had a 2 inch circle of plastic that was at over boiling from a spare tire holder and a OA torch. Wipe it off immediately and you will be fine. It was just a light burn no scarring
I am fairly sure that the contents and composition of consumer products like plastic bags and toothpaste were altered over the decades. the "halogenated compounds" listed in the MSDS of the bags sugsests that fireproofing compounds were added. pure PE foil would likely burn much better (in terms of chemistry it's glorified candle wax, not too dissimilar to lamp oil or jet fuel, minus the additives and impurities but with much longer chains)
also in case you are interested in horrific incendiaries, a amateur chemistry chanel called exlosionsandfire2 did a great video on white phosphorus. It's actually quite funny.
you could of course try one of the many recepies for improvised napalm.
My friend and i once did something like this while making a bonfire, we used thick construction bag plastic but same effect and he ended up getting some on his foot. From what i remember he was in visible pain for a minute from just one drop. It did act like napalm and he had to peel it off
I knew this would work 100%. When I was an angsty teenager, I had a habit of burning things. One day I was burning a 2 liter bottle (in my room. what an idiot, jesus christ.) and the plastic from the bottle melted off JUST like this, right onto my finger. It took forever to heal and now there's a dent in my finger. For the rest of my life. Like Brian and Jason said, "If anyone is dumb enough to be thinking of melting plastic near their flesh, they should reconsider. This is a horrible nightmare, and it will disfigure you FOREVER!"
I got lucky that I not only didn't burn down my room, but that it was really a pretty small burn in the grand scheme of things. One chunky drop. You see in the video how fast the plastic can start to drip once it really gets going. I could have been really messed up. Stuff is no joke.
