Thread: Pneumatic Prop Supplies...

Tweet

Hey Folks:

I am wanting to start building pneumatic props. However, I haven't found a tutorial concerning the BEST places/vendors to get the necessary supplies from. So, I was wondering if anyone had good recent knowledge about where one can acquire supplies listed in the categories below:

1. Pneumatic Cylinders (with attachment hardware)

2. Solenoids

3. Required Fittings

4. Prop Controllers

5. Latex Masks

I am aware of only a few sources for some of the stuff listed above. I just wanted to know where experienced folks get their stuff from since it is likely cheaper than what I have found currently. Thanks!

My favorites:

For pneumatic stuff - https://www.surpluscenter.com/

For controllers - http://www.efx-tek.com/

And course, there's always ebay!

Check out http://dcprops.com/ Brent lists a lot of great suppliers in his handbooks. His handbooks are great!

Try monsterguts.com..I have used them many times. They have parts and also sell the complete kits for creature crates and barrel poppers.

Another good place is Frightprops.com. They have a lot of stuff
