Thread: Homemade Web Spinner

I'm not sure if this has been tackled yet, but I just saw this video and thought it was pretty great.

Very nice video - thanks for the post Instant Monsters. I use the modified hot glue gun variety and I wonder how these two stack up against each other - hot glue vs. rubber cement. The only problem with my gun is you have to wait for it heat up constantly. Mine is older and I'm sure the gun is lower wattage (voltage?) than they are made now. This, at least, I would not need to wait for......

I've heard that guns over 80W don't make you wait. I do like the simplicity of this spinner, though. I might have to make one to decorate the shop this Halloween

Wow I was just researching what spider web gun I could find, and now I need to go find what supplies I need. This was AWESOME! It seems so much faster and easier as well. How does it come off surfaces? Are there some that are better than others and is there any I should avoid?

Please let us know what kind of results you get from this in the future. Looks like a good, easy build and well worth the effort.

From what I understand it comes off of solid surfaces fairly easily. Common sense tells me that you should probably avoid fabrics and carpeting. Sometime in the next month I plan to build one, then report back with my findings

What a great tutorial. I like the idea of not having to heat up a glue gun or use an air compressor. Might have to try that out.

Ive used the hot glue with a airblower and it covered the prop really fast and nicely

Thanks Chris~ I look forward to your report. I would be afraid to use it inside and get it on the carpet and have to try and fix it.

Oh, I'll be trying it outside first
