Wow i want to try that.

someone find a hole in this please.

I just found the clip. Not suggesting it, but heck, what could it hurt? (besides using a dirty glove to "clean" the surface as they did.) Would be very good to try on a parts car. I wonder if it only works on convex/concave surfaces.

Ok.. a stupid question here.. but where do you go to get dry ice and what does it normally cost? And do they just sell it off the shelf to some schmuck like you or me who can hurt themselves with it? I notice that the guy was wearing a glove so that tells me that its dangerously cold. So if I don't know any better and I happen to get frostbite on my testicles because I was trying something new with my girlfriend, it seems as if they wouldn't sell it to just anyone.

It's solid CO2. ~-110F.

you can try getting it from a restaraunt or a fast food place... I believe many of them use it in their freezers... or at least they used to. I think my brother had tried this to pop out some hail dents and it worked. The dents prolly have to be fairly small and new in order for it to work.

Any meat supplier has it because when they ship their meat to their customers, the freeze it with dry ice. Pretty cool stuff!!!

You can get it at a grocery store as well. I've tried this with a couple friends on a guys 4runner. It didn't work for us, but I'm sure it could because its the correct technique.

[benDASHDASH]

never worked on my e30

What if you put dry ice in the toilet while taking a dump? Would the CO2 cloud reduce the smell?

Dippin dots has dry ice, thats how they keep those dots soo cold. Someone needs to test this out and report back with results.
