That's exactly my first thought.

/r/diwhy

Wut?

Thinking the same thing.

Some varnish and stains will fucking spontaneously combust.

‘cause most people have a heat gun lying around (I do NOW, after many years)

Forbidden Worcestershire sauce

Pouring from one small container to a similar but deeper small container. Hmmm.

Huh?

11 secret…shhh…spices and herbs.

There’s literally a fire hazard symbol on the can, this isn’t smart, it’s insanely lucky

What was wrong with the first container that it needed to be poured into another?

If it’s still the same as it was years ago, a lot of them will. I did stain and lacquer work for a summer. At the end of the day, all the stain rags would go in a metal bucket with water in it. We’d put a lid on it and set it in a wide open area.

So you got an empty bottle but instead of using the bottle as is you cut it up and play with power tools (exaggerated) to form a hybrid bottle? Maybe instead of buying a $20 heat gun you buy a $1 funnel.

Forbidden Soy Sauce

This is fake. This can of Teak Varnish comes with a resealable lid.

Nowadays they have some water-based stains and shit.

The thick and short stub of a thumb... can't be unseen

plot twist: what's left in the can is the aftermath of burning it

All that to pour it into another cup.

Stupid.

💥

I think it's so you can store it later if you don't use it all.

Their point was why not pour the liquid inside the already intact bottle instead of making a Frankenstein bottle

Yea, but they ruined it. Life's harder when you're stupid.

lol yes when you open the lid like that its goner, you need a new lid....lol

I would also be concerned. Add that most plastic doesn't magically shrink when heat is applied; like that bottle does.

There's a reason I don't use short form content for educational purposes... F that.

So that it's resealable.

And pourable.

And here I thought this was fish sauce or something.

The problem is that it was purchased by an idiot.

Source: they took a heat gun to a can of highly flammable material.

Mines currently on fire. Should I apply more heat?

Reddit really is becoming Facebook

Thats neat

This is a HORRIBLE idea that could genuinely result in sickness.

These plastics are not designed to be heated and melted then eaten out of again, they are EXTREMELY fragile to temperature unless SPECIFICALLY designed to endure them.

DO NOT DO THIS unless you are 10000% sure this plastic won't release toxic or cancerous chemicals that will be absorbed by the food or liquids running over them.

They're more safe in the can, and the flash point is high. Where they become most dangerous is when a rag or towel is used to wipe up excess and then thrown away. As the finish cures, it releases enough heat that it can ignite the rest of the trash.

Supposedly, the fire that burned Seattle to the ground in 1889 was started by a glue pot in a woodworker's shop.

Finishes with drying oils like boiled linseed or tung are known for doing this. They self heat as they polymerize so a pile of them could heat up to the ignition temperature because the heat won’t escape. Placing them in a bucket with plenty of water prevents this by the thermal mass of the water and blocking the oxidation of the oil. Laying them flat away from each other also works by preventing the heat from building up.

Putting a flame or heat gun next to the finish isn’t such a great idea either. There’s often flammable chemicals in finishes beyond just the oils.

This isn’t a good idea with almost any oil based wood finish. This would leave a lot of oxygen in the container so it will solidify if you don’t use it in a few weeks.

I purge my finish cans with argon from my welder to keep the can usable longer. It’s cheaper than bloxigen at the wood working shops.

Also wipe up messes so your can doesn’t need the jaws of life to open them.

you can keep the label maybe

I think eating wood varnish is a worse concern than a melted bottle.

This is still a stupid idea, but not for the reasons you've listed.

I like how they intentionally destroy the lid to make it look like a useful trick.

I don’t have time for all this

The whole thing is pretty dumb. Oh, the internet. The downfall of humanity continues.

That’s actually the other half of the bottle

Lol I was gonna say this is pouring into a bottle with extra steps

Is anyone posting to his Snapchat to stop idiots for doing this themselves?

Neat trick 👍 check if the stuff is uv sensitive if you're going to store it like this

Peel off and use tape?

Downvoted. This is stupid

Umm, burned plastic fumes are toxic, aren't they.

Flammable + heat gun = 🔥?

Video maker forgot to think about why the manufacturer didn't put the contents in a bottle to begin with, and why they put it in a container that can be resealed air tight.

Yeah if only someone found a way to pour something into a bottle without ruining the bottle and using a dangerous tool. Oh wait.

Then you'd have to clean your funnel.

Significantly quicker, safer, and cheaper than what the video showed.

An actual fucking lifehack. Kinda neat

I mean. Obviously it worked. We saw it work.

If you're stupid

Holy fuck don’t do that if it’s flammable/combustible.

There’s a flicker of fire in the can during the video.

So is varnish.
