How to Hollow out a Lightbulb

[dcred123]

Use salt to clean it out.

[Herbistheword1994]

fuckin took me like 30 minutes to clean this shit out but its all good because im about to get stoned as fuck

[epicfantasy]

@Herbistheword1994 Please be careful. that stuff inside is poisonous. Don't use it for anything but a diorama or terrarium.

[Herbistheword1994]

@epicfantasy used it for weed. i cleaned it out plenty of times and didnt burn too close.

[Empep12]

when you said children shouldn't do this....

... was about the time my parents took the burnt out light bulb away from me.

[MrMrladiesman247]

um do you have a video on making a box castle for humans you should

[epicfantasy]

@MrMrladiesman247 great idea, thanks!

[DoctorDeeDoak]

Got any tips for hollowing out lightbulbs with pins rather than the screw type?

[epicfantasy]

@DoctorDeeDoak wow, no. those would be tricky. Might have to use a glass cutter.

[MrMrvideoz]

Every one just wants a ape lmao

[TechnicallyNotGuilty]

i youtubed terraria..... and this showed up... probably because your description has terrarium... but i'm not dissapointed. good tutorial lol i feel like doing that now.

[legoBWairlines]

can i use this for an aqurium?

[epicfantasy]

@legoBWairlines Thats a pretty good idea. I would say yes, but its an awfully small aquarium!

[Keskusrikospoliisi]

@epicfantasy no its not small at all. i got like 50 fishes in my lightbulb!

[Oldtboot]

@epicfantasy

For an aquarium get a carboy used for brewing ;) Cheap and look like giant lamps :P

[ExpoKazoo]

isn't it easier just to fill it with salt and shake it around?

[epicfantasy]

@ExpoKazoo yes, definitely!

[adam116578]

to get the white stuff out. put salt in it and shake it around. comes out quick and very easy!!

[delhigod]

also a good vape bulb

[cappy6921]

pour some salt in the bulb and shake well,,coating all comes off

[x10penny]

lmao im 15 i have a full set of machines and tools been workin with them since i was 9 got my first set of hammers at 4 . and jut grab pliers removie the tin on the tip hit the black with a glass drill bit smash a screw driver threw and then salt it

[mauronarf]

The frosting is harmless. It's Kaolin, a kind of clay found on the ground. You shouldn't sniff it, but it's just fine. I looked it up...

[loganmesservey100]

thanks for the nice pipe good for weed

[RyzilKitsune]

@loganmesservey100 thats the whole reason I watched this video

[D3AD53R1U5]

@loganmesservey100 thats what i wanted it for :)

[10KewlPerson10]

for the vanity light bulb the tab is too small and I can't get my pliers around it. Help.

[epicfantasy]

Hmm, a vanity light bulb would make a great terrarium because the shape of the bulb is so big. i guess you have to switch to a standard sized bulb!

[richard2mitchell]

@epicfantasy to get the frost out just use salt it works better

[cars2024]

best way to remove the frosting is to put about 1 tablespoon of table salt in the bulb and shake for a couple seconds

[wolvesrule8675]

if i make 1 of these could i like make it for an airsoft bb clip?

[epicfantasy]

Thats a pretty good idea but no. Its too delicate. It would break too easily.

[SoulScytheXD]

hey woodn't the gas (mercruy) be poisonous? u can get cancer by the gas!

[octavehergebelle]

WTF are you doing with those incandescent bulbs man ? It will give you very bad results : too much heat and power for the worst light spectrum in the market ... and it's all made in China ! :)

[epicfantasy]

lol! You got that right!

[myusername36912]

i did that with a 1wat

it didn't work :(

[epicfantasy]

sorry it didn't work. What happened? I say just try another one! Its worth the effort. - once you get one that works .

[budcock2]

dude just pour salt in the bulb and shake it to get the white shit out

[epicfantasy]

Thats a great idea! Thanks, I guess the abrasiveness of the salt just rubs the white stuff right out. Nice!

[Rion313]

Wow man, thanks! Awesome I love you videos. I took this and made a neat fish bowl for my gold fish. I went out and got the largest vainty light bulb I could get which is a rather larg bulb. Then I did exactly what you did and then wa-la! I have to happy comet gold fish chillin'. I understand that it isn't a hugh tank but if you know what comet gold fish are then you know they are real small! Thanks again!

The next thing I want to do is put a plant in there. Haha!

[epicfantasy]

Nice! Very Creative!

[TeddyTek]

hey

[epicfantasy]

Hey TeddyTek!

[FLPman]

yike, make sure no meth heads check out your video.. lol.. jk

great videos, really gave me some good tips regarding a stop anime' i'm morking on

[stumpythumper]

What about clear x-mas bulbs:)

[epicfantasy]

Good question. I will rummage around and see if I have some. It would be a challenge because they are small but would make really fine - ultra tiny dioramas.

[stumpythumper]

I've seen some fairly large ones and thought about the classic space-ship in a bottle....I have an all Star Wars Tree:)

Can't wait to see what you create!

[librainred]

This is really awesome. I can't wait to see what the end product is going to be!

BTW, I know this is my first comment, but I love your series, and I watch your sculpting tutorials. Very cool stuf!

[epicfantasy]

Thanks! These are going to be turned into some wonderful little projects - quite sublime I think. The videos are coming soon!

[librainred]

Glee!  I can't wait to see them!

[V1VAlaADAM]

Why don't you just buy the clear ones?

[fenderplayer489]

[07blkCobalt]
