So am I correct in assuming this is a false read?? Because otherwise I quit
Not a false reading. The numbers you see aren't actually on the little Pocket Radar device. Here's the breakdown:
1. In the video editing software I exported one frame from the recording.
2. I then cut out the lower right corner of the image with the Pocket Radar.
3. I went online and found a picture of a calculator, and took a screenshot of the '345' in its display. I thought about '999', but I wanted the number to be crazy, but not too crazy, if that makes sense.
4. In the image software I used (just Preview on a Mac) I added the numbers from the calculator on top of the Pocket Radar display. I was surprised how good it looked.
5. And last, at the appropriate time in the video, I just fade in the updated image over top. Industrial Light & Magic, here I come!
It only works because there's no movement in that lower right corner. If I had walked over there, you would see where I would get cut off and the doctored image starts. So ultimately the numbers you see are just a screenshot from a calculator.
@AA - I could give the half freeze method a try. I'm not sure if that will do it though. I've had issue with my molds leaking if the seal isn't perfect. When I see this (which is usually after any remaining water is frozen) I just fill up to the top. The water making contact with the ice starts to melt it slightly where the two make contact, and then it all freezes together. It seems to make a very strong bond. But if I had water that was cold to the point of almost freezing, that might not happen.
Maybe it's time for an experiment.
