we just got our hands on the super rare
YouTube diamond play button these things
are kind of hard to come across so for
this video we’re building a replicator
briefcase to make copies that we may
what’s up guys grant Thompson the king
of random I’m Nate the Jack of trade
we’re really excited for this video
because 10 million of you have joined
our channel and this just arrived in the
mail the coveted YouTube diamond play
button it’s pretty incredible like I’ve
seen unboxing videos of and stuff of
them before I’ve seen some pictures but
they don’t really capture it very well
probably because it’s so shiny it’s
really hard to take good pictures and
video of it you know the thing that
impressed me about this the most wasn’t
actually the diamond play button itself
it was the case that it came in pretty
case how amazing is this thing I mean
that’s heavy duty when it showed up and
we took it out the box it was like man
that is some serious stuff and we do not
want to waste a good case so for this
video we’re thinking how could we do
something fun with the diamond play
button and the case together and I think
we got some pretty good ideas yeah the
case is great but we are planning to
have the diamond play button out of the
case on display and so that wouldn’t be
getting used and we didn’t want it to go
to waste so here’s the basic idea we’ve
got the briefcase that the diamond play
button arrived in we’re going to cut out
some of the phone support build a small
internal frame place the diamond play
button inside and then fill it with
silicone rubber making a perfect mold by
the way guys I don’t know if you can
tell but Nate is so freaking tall one of
the reasons I can’t be in the videos
with them is because of our height
disparity if you take a look right now
I’m standing on my tool box just to try
and even things out a little bit there’s
a little behind-the-scenes for you I
hope you enjoy that as a first step this
case has this big old block of foam that
is glued in place and I believe was
milled out just to have the right size
and shape for the play button and we
need to remove some of that and we don’t
want to get rid of all of it we want to
have just enough space to make the mold
so what we’re gonna try and do is
measure a little bit bigger than the
size of the play button and cut down
through the foam and pull that out to
cast this play button I went picked up
about 8 pounds of tin cure silicone and
I got a catalyst in blue mainly because
the blue silicon is my absolute favorite
we like keeping things simple and
predictable and this word does a really
nice job it has a really clean finish so
that’s why we go with tin pure silicon
if we were trying to make 40 or 50 molds
out of something we probably would have
been interested in the Platinum cure but
although we do plan to use this a fair
amount I kind of doubt we’ll get to that
many so at this point we pretty much got
all our materials put together so let’s
dive right in and get
we’ve got all of our pieces cut for the
box but it’s a very square box which
means if we make a mold in it it’ll
basically be impossible to get out if we
leave the sides permanently attached so
for this first time I think what we’re
gonna do is just have it held together
with tape plus the pressure from the
sides of the box we’ve got our box it’s
all held together with tape which seems
a little ghetto but I think that will
actually work out well for us in the end
when we have to take the mold out if it
were sticking to all those sides and we
couldn’t take them apart it would be
nearly impossible so this way we’ll be
able to remove the tape and just pull
the sides down it should be a lot easier
to be mold wonderful one side of this
play button has this felt surface and
that’s what it’s designed to be set on
as you just have it on display and we
don’t want the silicone to ruin that so
I am gonna try and cover that with tape
that is where our play button will sit
will of course make sure it’s maximum
shininess before we pour any silicone
over it our box is ready our play button
is ready now we need to mix up a whole
bunch of silicone total weight of the
silicone that I just poured into the
bowl with 64 ounces so now I need to add
now I need to stir this up until it is
one homogeneous mixture
well it’s pretty well mixed to me I’m
placing some foil around just a couple
of the edges so that I am able to bring
the silicone over onto this maybe
sometimes in smaller quantities without
just pouring silicone dripping all over
the case I hope it helps
alright we’re going to start by just
getting a thin layer over all of it
want to give it a couple of minutes
right there
to sort of let some of the bubbles rise
to the surface and pop more bubbles will
be introduced a little bit hopefully a
lot of them will leave but we do want
like a nice clean shiny surface of
course right where it’s in contact
we’ve got a briefcase full of blue
silicone and it probably needs to sit
for four or five hours but we’re just
gonna let it go overnight to make sure
it’s 100% cured you might have noticed
we didn’t actually degassed this
silicone there are quite a few bubbles
here and they’re all making their way to
the service that’s gonna give it kind of
like a really pocked look it’s not gonna
be smooth and clean like it would be if
we use the vacuum chamber but I’m really
ok with that because I’ve done a lot of
moulding with this type of silicone
before if you might remember the Lego
gummy molds that we made we did some
play button molds with the silver play
button as well to make chocolate bars
the finish on the surface comes through
really clean and smooth because the
bubbles start to travel up and even if
they get stuck inside the rubber it’s
not a big deal as long as that surface
is smooth I can’t wait to see how this
turns out tomorrow I love the whole feel
of this it’s like the spy briefcase you
carry around you got your little diamond
play button replicator
does this thing pops out a new dumb play
button only the ones we’re gonna making
are a little bit different than the ones
we’ve got here through the magic of
YouTube
let’s now transport till tomorrow new
day new t-shirt new haircut let’s dive
it in the mold and see we got alright so
how do we actually get this out of the
box well we’ve got our little box inside
our bigger case so first I think we need
to get that little box out and do you
think it’s heavy enough if we flipped it
upside down and shook it it would worth
the try now
it’s worth a try alright I’ll shake it
you catch it oh it’s coming there we go
teamwork makes a dream lurking little
bits of the tape head started peeling
that was what was slowing it down even
more that’s pretty cool
had tiny bit of leakage which is why I’m
glad we put the tape on everything very
minimal though now the biggest question
we had as this was setting little
bubbles of air we’re constantly coming
up through the center so we’re kind of
thinking the silicone may be seeping
down underneath the diamond part of the
diamond play button if that’s the case
we may have silicone for life stuck down
there after we cut it out we’re hoping
that’s not the case we’re gonna find out
can I pull these don’t do an appeals
that’s the power of a girl it easily all
right moment of truth
whoa wow that came out very nice yeah I
thought there would be a lot more
leakage underneath it I would have to
that was just sitting flat on the bottom
it hardly anything leaked it
this button is so amazingly heavy it
looks like the weight blocked that out
we could probably it’s just a thin
enough membrane here we could just peel
that out by hand and that clean that up
with an exacto knife all right should we
take a look inside Thanks why don’t you
do the honors Nate it’s releasing nicely
really easy that’s why I wanted to let
it go overnight if you only do it for
like three or four hours a lot of time
it’ll just stick a lot more it’s got a
beautiful shiny texture on the inside
you get if you can see down in there
look how reflective that is that’s as
its ever gonna be
look we want to keep but it is sticking
around of the gem watch the little
diamond part pop off oh yeah oh you know
what if you pull it gently enough we may
be in luck this is a very delicate
process because if that’s silicone rips
we’re pretty much you’re never gonna get
it out for whatever yeah it’s like
surgery oh can we break it
[Music]
yeah well there we go if you look in
here you could actually see it almost
looks like silicone is it just
reflecting or is it in all surfaces
there under all the cracks really hard
to tell alright guys time for a damage
report let’s see what kind of damage we
did to this thing here if you take a
close look at the play button you can
see we have a bunch of silicone trapped
around the edges of the actual diamond
jewel here I’m not sure how we’re gonna
get those out if ever I mean unless we
actually popped that out we have a
little Nick over here where the ruler
hit it and everything else I think could
pretty much be cleaned up buffed up and
it would be as good as new but the
silicone here there’s not really much we
can do about that also a little bit of
silicone stuck to the felt bottom which
I did put a piece of tape on there to
try and minimize that but it was able to
get in to the edges so we’ve got a
little piece of felt here a little bit
of silicone going around the border it’s
a good thing it’s not an awkward color
like blue or anything like that it will
probably just end up pulling that felt
right off and replacing it with
something else if you look down the mold
here you’re gonna see all these little
flappy edges here that’s where it sunk
down into the crevices between the jewel
now what we’re gonna do is cut those off
we could recast it with those and it
would leave a nice impression or a
groove but we don’t want that we want to
cut that off we’re gonna clean it up
with an exacto knife or some scissors
and get this thing ready for casting oh
look there’s a little bit of a bubble
there a little imperfection we might be
able to mix up some silicone and fill
that in though this is a diamond play
button and I’m kind of curious to see if
we can make this whole thing look a bit
like a diamond by making an ice casting
inside and getting ice to cast clear is
kind of tricky there are several
different theoretical approaches and
I’ve tried most of them they don’t work
the only thing I’ve found that does work
is to have all of the ice freeze from
the bottom up to the top so we’re gonna
try doing is filling this with water and
then making a styrofoam box that
actually goes over the whole thing so
that all of the cold goes up through the
silicone at the bottom and just slowly
freezes it from the bottom to the top
and the way that we’ve molded this the
bottom is actually the top of our play
button so hopefully we’ll at least get
quite a bit of clear ice and avoid all
most imperfections in ice are formed
when there’s air inside the ice that
can’t escape when you freeze ice cubes
in a freezer they’ll freeze from the
outside from the top the sides in the
bottom all at once in sort of this just
encasing brick and then as it freezes in
the air bubbles aren’t able to go
anywhere and so they stay trapped in the
middle if you freeze it very carefully
from the bottom up much of the time any
bubbles that do form will only be at the
top surface level and not stuck all
throughout and that’s what we’re hoping
for but I’ve never tried it with
anything this baby before so it is
definitely an experiment so what we’re
gonna do is we’re gonna put the mold
into the freezer then we’re gonna pour
cups of water into it and then figure
out how to fit this over it’s just gonna
take a little bit of trial and error
because there’s not that much space in
the freezer but I think we’ll be able to
get it to work I was trying to dive in
to play button to clean up the silicone
and I noticed that one side of this
diamond had a huge gap and that’s where
a lot of the air was coming out so I was
using an exacto knife to try and clean
out from under there and lo and behold I
actually popped the diamond down and the
whole thing is extractable which you
know looking at it kind of blows my mind
I thought this was just set down into
the metal itself but no it’s like this
whole contraption with a metal base
plate that glues down inside it which I
think opens us up to another project
idea Nate what do you think we should do
with this I think that means we can make
a whole separate mold of just the
gemstone that diamond triangle in the
middle and that way we can make some
other fun replicas with actually setting
the stone down inside whatever else
we’re molding and casting I like that
plan we tossed around a few ideas and
maybe putting some LED strips in there
that we could turn on so that the
diamond would actually glow we have a
glowing center of the diamond or if we
cast in like a green or a red resin we
could have like an emerald or a ruby
type play button we can interchange we
could change it up any time that we want
it we could also laser etch our logo
into the center and put it back together
so many things that we could do with
this which I’m thinking probably nobody
has ever done before so we wanted to
show you this because no one else tears
apart of their diamond play button I
don’t think it’s ever been done before
so we’re doing this we’re destroying our
diamond play button for your education
entertainment and then
like that well now it wasn’t that easy
to pull out the first time it was glued
in place but apparently not that well if
you look closely down the center here
you can see that where it was glued to
the plate it wasn’t a very great glued
top and that’s like right at the center
of the play button so we may take this
apart and reglue it make it look a
little bit nicer we’re gonna fix those
manufacturing defects and hopefully make
it a little bit better we also got a
letter from YouTube signed by Susan
Wojcicki at least digitally signed and
it’s kind of nice I’m gonna set this
right here if you want to see what it
says go ahead and pause the video and
check it out here’s a random factoid for
you the metal portion of the diamond
play button weighs just under ten and a
half pounds whereas the diamond portion
weighs just under six ounces grant you
broke the button ah and that’s how it
happened alright update we’ve now had
our diamond play button mold with water
in the freezer for like two days because
it takes a while to freeze when we’ve
got so much insulation a lot of thermal
mass to cool down there yeah the
silicone was like this it was like an
inch thick at the finished spots and
then we had two inches of insulation
foam all the way around it so the
freezer had a hard time pulling heat out
of it
but it is finally frozen and it’s time
to take that sucker out when we checked
it yesterday it was looking really good
as far as clear ice goes it was actually
very very clear but then we opened up
today and nothing but bubbles alright so
yeah before when we looked at this it
wasn’t all the way frozen and it it
still looked really clear which makes me
think that we just had a clear surface
on it but the inside wasn’t frozen yet
you can see down here the bubble still
like seemed to go down at three quarters
to an inch deep I don’t think it’s gonna
be bubbles all the way down I do think
we’re gonna have a nice clear surface in
contact with the silicone let’s take it
out and see how it looks
the molds nice oh man it comes out
perfectly doesn’t it and the reveal
ready okay so we do have bubbles quite
of ways through there but that looks
really good you know how some people
refer to diamonds as ice haha I think
this is taking it literally check this
out it’s like air hockey
it’s awesome you know what we should
make one of these out of dry ice it’s so
shiny it just cracked there we just set
this down and you know what I really
want to do with this Nate since it’s
already gonna crack in it I kinda want
to take this outside and dunk it through
[Music]
it didn’t break so there we have a guy’s
a diamond play button replicator case
what do you think about that Nate I like
it I think we’re gonna have to find a
lot of different things that we can cast
in our mold if you’ve got anything you
want to see us cast in this mold leave
us a comment down below we want to hear
about it hey guys hope you enjoyed this
video really do if you want to see the
next one we’ve got one up in the top
left corner there you can click the one
down the bottom is the one YouTube
thinks you should be watching next and
if you’re not already subscribed click
the bomb in the center to join the club
and we will see you next video talk to you then
YouTube diamond play button these things

has ever done before so we wanted to
show you this because no one else tears
apart of their diamond play button I
don’t think it’s ever been done before
so we’re doing this we’re destroying our
diamond play button for your education
entertainment and then
like that well now it wasn’t that easy
to pull out the first time it was glued
in place but apparently not that well if
you look closely down the center here
you can see that where it was glued to
the plate it wasn’t a very great glued
top and that’s like right at the center
of the play button so we may take this
apart and reglue it make it look a
little bit nicer we’re gonna fix those
manufacturing defects and hopefully make
it a little bit better we also got a
letter from YouTube signed by Susan
Wojcicki at least digitally signed and
it’s kind of nice I’m gonna set this
right here if you want to see what it
says go ahead and pause the video and
check it out here’s a random factoid for
you the metal portion of the diamond
play button weighs just under ten and a
half pounds whereas the diamond portion
weighs just under six ounces grant you
broke the button ah and that’s how it
happened alright update we’ve now had
our diamond play button mold with water
in the freezer for like two days because
it takes a while to freeze when we’ve
got so much insulation a lot of thermal
mass to cool down there yeah the
silicone was like this it was like an
inch thick at the finished spots and
then we had two inches of insulation
foam all the way around it so the
freezer had a hard time pulling heat out
of it
but it is finally frozen and it’s time
to take that sucker out when we checked
it yesterday it was looking really good
as far as clear ice goes it was actually
very very clear but then we opened up
today and nothing but bubbles alright so
yeah before when we looked at this it
wasn’t all the way frozen and it it
still looked really clear which makes me
think that we just had a clear surface
on it but the inside wasn’t frozen yet
you can see down here the bubble still
like seemed to go down at three quarters
to an inch deep I don’t think it’s gonna
be bubbles all the way down I do think
we’re gonna have a nice clear surface in
contact with the silicone let’s take it
out and see how it looks
the molds nice oh man it comes out
perfectly doesn’t it and the reveal
ready okay so we do have bubbles quite
of ways through there but that looks
really good you know how some people
refer to diamonds as ice haha I think
this is taking it literally check this
out it’s like air hockey
it’s awesome you know what we should
make one of these out of dry ice it’s so
shiny it just cracked there we just set
this down and you know what I really
want to do with this Nate since it’s
already gonna crack in it I kinda want
to take this outside and dunk it through
[Music]
it didn’t break so there we have a guy’s
a diamond play button replicator case
what do you think about that Nate I like
it I think we’re gonna have to find a
lot of different things that we can cast
in our mold if you’ve got anything you
want to see us cast in this mold leave
us a comment down below we want to hear
about it hey guys hope you enjoyed this
