Welcome to the Vat19 Test Lab.
Today, we're going to compare and contrast magnetic putty--
--liquid glass putty--
--super illusions putty and heat sensitive putty.
They're all crazy in their own ways, so let's get into it.
OK, so I have the gold magnetic putty.
Jealous, yours is so much bigger.
There's like a general shiny, kind
of a matte shininess to it, but then
if you look really closely, there's
a lot of little, tiny, sparkly flakes in it.
I think that's the magnetic particles.
Those might be the magnetic particles.
Common misconception, people think that the putty's
magnetic, but it's not.
The magnet's magnetic and this just has metal in it.
Liquid glass putty.
Where is it?
Where did it go?
This looks empty.
I'm right next to it, and it just
looks like you have nothing in there.
Eww!
Immediately, when I touch it, it leaves my fingerprints.
Yours are still pretty clear.
Yeah, I kind of kept it mostly clear.
And mine is very cloudy, played with, yeah.
Yeah.
So we have different ones here.
We do.
I've got super lava.
Super scarab?
It's like purple from this angle,
and then over the top of it, it's like blue.
It's kind of like a fish.
Colors!
There is a clearness, if you--
Oh yeah.
--stretch it thin, it gets clear.
Like a window.
Heat sensitive putty.
Interesting.
This one has a very different look.
It looks more like a food.
You think it tastes like a--
Uh--
[POPPING]
That had a sound.
That had a sound to that bite.
That was awesome.
Does it taste awesome?
No, it tastes like nothing.
Right.
Once you get used to the tins, these look itty-bitty.
I know.
I want more, please.
It is sad.
Weird that it kind of reminds me of a Band-Aid?
It just looks like chewed bubble gum,
like you'd find under a subway seat.
Yeah, eww, maybe that's what it is.
This one has some grain to it.
It's, like, stiff, but once you get it going,
it's not super stiff.
It's not like the silly putty where you're just like
[GRUNTS].
This is easy to make small things probably,
but if it's getting too narrow, you can see--
It's a pretty good Jamie/pig I made.
Thanks, I'm going to do an Eric.
Good luck, capturing this.
That's pretty good, actually.
I feel like this one's stickier.
It's definitely stickier.
I would say this is probably-- hypothesis-- this
is the worst one to sculpt.
So here, snowman, and we're losing steam pretty quick.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
He's having a rough day.
He does not stay together.
You've had a lot of experience with it.
Yeah, we've got some swim trunks somewhere around here
with this just all in it.
[INAUDIBLE]
Fidgeting, let's get our fidget fingers out.
Feels good.
It's a bit easier to stretch than the magnetic.
It's similar to the liquid glass.
Yeah, it's similar to the liquid glass,
but it's a little bit more dense.
When you do make a sculpture, it kind of shrinks back.
Oh yeah.
I tried to pull an arm out here, it just goes straight back.
Look at that.
It wouldn't really hold its shape very well in a sculpture.
Oh there's the thick guy, oh!
I don't need to buy a fancy resistance band.
Yeah, we could hopscotch with this thing.
This one almost feels like the most kind of plasticky.
Jamie's in the kitchen making pumpkin pie.
Now that is just like standing there.
That's not going to move.
That's just like rock solid.
All right, silly putty, let's fidget.
Let's fidget with it.
How many eggs do you think you would
need, to, like, equal 110?
Oh.
You mean like 10 or more?
At least, yeah.
If you start stretching too quickly, like--
Uh-huh, yeah, I can't get a good stretch going.
I think this would sculpt well though,
because it's rock solid.
You'd have tiny, miniature sculptures.
Kind of granite already.
See my little snowman?
Ah.
This is the play test where we bounce it, stretch it, tear it.
Oh!
You know?
I'm going to, kind of, like set the baseline for the rest
of the putty, for me, at least.
I'm going to drop it about a foot from the table.
OK.
Made it about five, six inches.
Oh!
One of my favorite things to do is
to make a little pocket of air, a little bubble,
and then pop it.
[POP]
Oh, oh!
Popped!
There it is!
Same time, that was cute!
That's nice.
Tear it!
I think you didn't make it thin enough to tear!
Oh got it!
There you go!
We popped it.
We teared it.
We got a magnet in it.
If you leave a magnet on the putty for long enough,
all the metal flakes gravitate towards it.
Come on, come on.
Come on little one.
It's like a little pet.
Oh, this one's going to bounce.
Ah, it's not going to bounce.
No?
No, no bounce.
Dude, it's got some jiggle.
Three, two, one.
Oh!
You're right.
So ripping it, it isn't like a clean break,
like the other putties, but it is still satisfying.
Yeah, I got a bubble going.
Oh, yeah, I got a little pop there.
OK, would that not be the greatest snot ever?
Super Illusions.
OK.
Oh!
Pretty bouncy.
Oh!
See, it's like all purple and blue on the outside,
but then you rip it--
Like, not shiny at all in the tear for some reason.
Oh.
Oh, injury.
Got to do the ole bubble test.
I think this one is going to be really good.
Yeah, I can kind of hear it crackling just
from me moving it.
Yeah, this tiny little--
Oh, there it is!
And another cool thing about this putty, when you twist it,
it wants to twist back.
Yeah.
My favorite thing though with this putty
is to roll it out into a cinnamon roll shape.
Since it's unwinding, it's getting tight
and has nowhere to go, so it goes up.
And look--
I see it!
It's started-- Yeah.
Once again, I'm just thrown off by how hard it is.
This one's more rigid.
Ah!
That's got a good snap when you get it.
That sounded like a good snap.
I'll work on popping it, you work on ripping it.
[POP]
Ooh!
That had a good pop on it.
Tear it.
Oh!
So I think that means it will bounce really well, don't you?
Oh yeah.
That makes it past halfway, so it beats out magnetic.
Whoa!
It's gone.
So I just so happen to have--
[AIR BLOWING]
That came out really fast.
Watch this.
Yeah.
Yeah, look at the difference.
Look at that.
Oh, sorry!
Look at that!
Ah yeah.
Yeah, that's the good stuff.
Satisfying.
Silly Putty play test.
Oh, that's good bounce.
Good bounce.
Classic.
I'd say it's about as good as the magnetic.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's got an excellent snap.
Silly putty, man.
Can you pop it?
Ooh.
It's small, so it's harder to get that bubble in there,
'cause it's so small.
You got to be careful though, because if you lose it,
it might just fall on your skin and you'll never see it again.
Are we taking naps now?
Is that what's going on?
Are we sleeping?
Uh, yeah.
So I think we just reach out, grab a putty.
OK, I think I have the liquid glass.
That's your liquid gla-- oh, not a-- not even a question.
Yeah, that's liquid glass.
All right, OK, I think this is magnetic.
Yeah, it's got a slight grittiness to it.
Got a little bit of, like, some grain.
I forgot we had silly putty.
I think this one's silly putty here.
Yeah.
And this one still is fairly liquid glassy,
but it's not as liquid glassy as liquid glass,
so I am saying this--
Super Illusions?
Super Illusions.
Also, Super Illusions had some snap to it,
but it felt like [INAUDIBLE].
That's true.
Let's see if I can see through it.
Psych.
We said liquid glass something--
Liquid glass, magnetic, silly putty, Super Illusions--
Heat change.
You got the heat change?
It's either super--
I think that's magnetic.
OK, sure.
So glass, illusions, silly putty, heat change, magnetic.
Boom!
Yeah!
100%!
Oh, and my eyes are adjusting to the brightness.
We got it.
Did we get it right?
Yeah.
Glass-- yep.
That's correct.
Nice.
Got it.
Good job, guys.
Oh sh--
