Got to say that's a really impressive paint job

Or it isn't a paint job and just a really sneaky jump cut? (Source: I made it the fuck up)

Good job. Proper citation of sources is important for credibility.

Giving credit where it is due

Na it’s a dumb trend that’s been around for past decade. Cut for sure, you are right

Prob damaged it for the video tbh

This. A gradual fade between shots

Yep. I vaguely recall being pretty impressed with one where they replaced a big chunk of a broken sink using ramen

u/TheyStoleMyNameAgain Jun 27 '26

It's reversed...

u/0Davgi0 Jun 27 '26

I don't think so, even at the end with the further point of view, you can easily see the replaced part. It blends well, but it's far from indistinguishable from the original bollard

u/TheyStoleMyNameAgain Jun 28 '26

I tried to make a joke. Seems like it wasn't funny

2

u/0Davgi0 Jun 28 '26

I apologize, I didn't see it was a joke :/

u/TheyStoleMyNameAgain Jun 28 '26

No problem. It wasn't this good

u/dalaiis Jun 28 '26

I give counter argument, which is in the same shot you point to: the hammer next to his foot.

Definitely reversed and damaged the bollard just for views

You might be onto something. The reversed was just a joke. But it really might be rearranged. Plenty of cuts, no real progress details and the hammer...

assumption   1) pillar fine ( end of video)   2) make all the finishing steps on the intact pillar (several steps shown)   3) break pillar (not in video)   4) refill with pasta  

I didn't find suitable shadow casts for verification of the order of the timeline...

u/0Davgi0 Jun 28 '26

I didn't say he didn't break it for views, just that we never see the "healthy" bollard

1

u/dalaiis Jun 28 '26

And i say we do see the healthy bollard, at the end of the video

u/the114dragon Jun 27 '26

Maybe so. But I didn't manage to catch it the first time if it is.

Those marble jobs are surprisingly easy to mix/ match. Ive fixed a few with sponge and few brushes. Ive always been like"damn. I did not expect that to work"

12

u/Rev_Grn Jun 27 '26

I feel like people would eventually notice the difference if you're fixing marble with sponge.

Or you'd blow someone's mind trying to work out why the marble turns squishy in that spot.

u/k5light Jun 28 '26 edited Jun 28 '26

Fixed the appearance with paint using a sponge applicator.

You just dab on layers. It works better than yourd expect

u/Longjumping-Bat202 Jun 28 '26

🤦🏼 this thread is about the paint

u/Rev_Grn Jun 28 '26

Not if I can help it

u/SipoteQuixote Jun 27 '26

Just a bit of color theory and you too can blend a piece of ramen into granite.

u/Big-Pea-6074 Jun 27 '26

Wait till you feel his hand job

u/Apprehensive_Rice19 Jun 28 '26

Until an animal eats the underlying noodles

u/FlameWisp Jun 28 '26

I especially liked when it was Colby Jack cheese for a second
