He gave us many examples that day, it is all in how you suggest the scenerio and set the stage.

I think jamies design wouldve worked if they didn't put duct tape in front of the bags of paint. I noticed at the end of the test that the duct tape had been ripped from the top and slung to the bottom of the contraption, which would explain why there were vertical lines on the walls directly in front of where the duct tape was placed. I've been making and repairing things with duct tape since I was a child. And I know that duct tape is very strong and very hard to break by pressing on the top or bottom of it. Therefore when the bags of paint exploded, the force from it didn't go through the duct tape but peeled it loose from the top and slung it leaving the vertical lines of paint on the walls. I do plenty of crazy stuff like that myself at home and I have a creative mind. I can usually predict the outcome of things pretty well so if you try this experiment again please take my theory into consideration This is about the Painting with Dynamite.

Merely dropped it by accident and the widget exploded sending guiness over an incomprehensible area. Managed to get one wall in the living room as well since the door was open.

Fill lots of balloons with paint, pile them up and stick a small amount of explosive in the middle and it might work? What about using balloons instead of a bucket?

Olá este mito foi pouco explorado, era possivel obter um resultado positivo talvez se tentarem com um saco de material explosivo de forma redonda e a volta preso a ele varios outros sacos com uns 100 ml de tinta, a ideia era envolver um nucleo central de explosivos com pequenos sacos de tinta para que ela fique amis bem espalhada. obrigado A small room can be quickly painted by detonating a stick of dynamite in a bucket of paint.
