Can Caulk Glue A Person To The Ceiling?

in today's video we're seeing how much weight we can hang by using caulk [Music] hey guys we got kennen joining us today hey so kenan needs to work in construction and we're gonna be dealing with hanging stuff on the walls so he's gonna help us out yeah i've used that once or twice it hangs just about everything how about everything well we got a couple of things here we just got a canvas we're gonna see if we can put a canvas on the wall just using caulk yeah then i'm gonna take this we're gonna tie a string around this dowel and we're gonna it to the ceiling and tie weights to it to see how much weight it can support here's the basic idea we have a canister of adhesive caulk that binds like glue and seals like caulk we are going to see how much weight we can hang from it after the unfortunate accident of the columbia space shuttle nasa developed a high-tech gun to repair the space shuttle tiles in space so it's been used to keep the ceramic tiles on the space shuttle during reentry can it hold a person i say yes i think it can hold me i don't know if this is the exact same stuff nasa uses probably can you like make a phone call real quick and call your nasa people let me just call my peeps and i'll let you know please all right let's do some dots of caulk on this so i did experiment with this before and i did a whole line of caulk all the way around and stuck it on the wall it's over there and it's been there for like a week and a half it is not moving i'm gonna just do little dots in each corner we have an industry professional helping us out yeah seriously and push got a little bit on there so we're gonna wipe that off but so far so good look sturdy it'll stay here through the apocalypse a few moments later oh no we just did the dot dot not a lot technique here i'm actually disappointed that that didn't i'm kind of sad but also excited and that we saw it fall i'm also kind of hyped that my yee haw is not destroyed you know that since that other canvas worked maybe it was just the yee haw that the wall didn't like oh rejected by the tko our studio everyone likes a yeehaw that's the new thing it's going to be the next shirts are going to be tko r yeehaw so the next thing i want to do is hang this to the ceiling all right with string and then what we have over here in front of kennen is a bunch of blocks of wax so we can like break them off and i want to hang like one at a time mr professional so i'm gonna let you redeem yourself okay well first let's tie the string so we'll just do it on one end so we're gonna use a lot of string beautiful and we'll tie this end over here and then we'll put caulk on the entire double including the string and push it good old push let's break that open so this is supposed to be quick seal we don't exactly know how quick is quick it does not give us a ready in 30 seconds or anything like that it does say if we're attaching it to latex or oil-based paints we need 36 hours oh let's tie it right here oh why would you pull it that hard like that is way more than one pound of force i say we let it sit for about five to ten minutes to give it a chance to start to set itself and then we start putting on the wax yeah maybe grace just stay up there and blow on it for like the next half hour so yeah that's working so one thing that we can try looking at maybe in another video is the different types of caulk set there are so there's lots of different adhesives that you can use in construction from other brands that are made by dap that are used for different surfaces to things like silicone or liquid nails and some of these things set a lot faster especially like epoxy which is what we use to set sinks in the construction business and those things can set within a few minutes and hold thousands of pounds why didn't we get that do you have any contacts uh yeah back in illinois can you wait like three days oh maybe let's ship it out no yeah i want to hang upside down two days we're seeing how much wax the cocktail can hold up so this is 93 pounds when we let it it's holding three pounds and we just put this up a couple minutes ago so it hasn't cured but it has enough adhesive properties to hold it for a little bit i'm impressed so far so good three pounds so let's take the weight off a little bit and let's throw the fourth pound on there four pounds oh oh just wiggles i see it separating over here it is separating a little bit i think so i'm gonna add another one in here all right kevin living life on the wild side oh there we go all right one two three four was good five pounds a ten minute five minute caulk nate and calories are not going to be happy with the mastery oh it just gives the studio more character five pounds so do you think that this is going to hold grace still if it fully cures it's possible so we've re-attached our double up to the top with the caulk we are gonna let this one cure for a couple days and then try it again because it is gonna be able to hold a lot more weight we see the potential with four pounds five pounds for a couple seconds before it fell off and we literally put it up a couple minutes ago so we've decided to take off the the quick seal the caulk here and we're actually going to be using puber silicone all-purpose because it is a good exterior adhesive and uh it's also waterproof so hopefully this will give us a stronger flex i know we used to use this to hold sinks into bathrooms so hopefully it can hold braces to ceiling so with silicone and caulk unlike glues you actually want a thicker layer because they don't set up the same way and they're cross-linking as they're curing and so the thicker layer you have the more adhesion you'll end up having oh it smells funky that's the acetic acid or vinegar is that going to eat away the soul of my shoe no you'll be fine i hope all right all right okay and we're lifting up and okay all right go down now go down there we go we're back we have let the cure on the ceiling for our little string the dowel buddy here and grace's shoes because we really wanted those to be secure so there was no question as if they're cured all the way they also put the string out of reach so i could not hang on it while it appeared that was intentional so before i undo that we got a bucket that's going to help us out this time we're just going to tie the string to the bucket handle put the blocks of wax in here and what we have over here in front of cannon is scales so if it does fall at some point we can pick it up test it on the scale to see how much weight it actually held i think it's going to hold it all i hope it holds it all right so that we can just move on to the shoes and feel confident so just put one in at a time and just let it steady so it's not like bouncing and jiggering around i mean it's looking good not seeing any movement up top i'm gonna put this brick in so this is gonna be a lot more than a block of wax see if that holds that's holding dang we got another brick more bricks this is a good sign so that grace you're feeling more confident about hanging upside down oh i was confident either way the string string is breaking before i'm pulling on it with a lot of force oh the string is like the knots coming unwound before like that is if you there it is so that was a lot of grace force coming down my feet were almost off the floor it's the string it's not yeah it's not the it's the string yeah this it's probably like a 60 to 80 pound we'll give a big range there of what this string can actually hold no problem let's go okay okay here we go this is working one foot what a video oh no i'm a lot heavier than i oh this is difficult all right so we got one here almost there i'm trying to time really tight this is uh my workout for the day and how do you feel grace i feel like i can do sit-ups you can do sit-ups oh this is working and the shoes are tight tight enough she's not slipping out of her shoes at all the silicone is not even wiggling holy crap it worked yeah the question is like where is the weak point right is it going to be the screws and the studs or the silicone which would give out first my feet will probably her feet coming up and there we go nice uh exit thank you good dismount 10 out of 10. stuck the landing thank you oh whoa i think you got a little bit more than all right oh yeah that's easy you can even do like abs oh yeah that is so cool i want to do it again if you want to make a home gym silicone and shoes and probably a 2x4 and a screw and you can make it happen it's working you can hang tons of stuff on the ceiling with silicone or caulk so if you want to see us hang anything else from the ceiling with silicone put it in the comments below maybe we'll do it for you maybe we can stick me to the ceiling i like that forever forever and ever and ever if you like this kind of content make sure you hit subscribe right down in that corner so you never miss any more content just
