Thanks again, you've made my day!

Selenoids are intimidating at first, but once you start "playing" with them, you'll never go back! There is a weath of knowledge on here, just play safe!

Hacknslash ,
Yes that solenoid will work fine.

NewbieHaunter,
Cool I am glad you can use my silly time wasting ideas...

VH is in the house!

Would this not work for spraying some victim decorations with fake blood? Give it a splatter/spray look.

I am sure it would.
WOW, you brought back this thread from the dead (2006).

Haha - I just joined this week. I was flipping through threads and found this.

Heh, I'm glad he did. Really simplified what I had in mind for trying the same thing. Thanks for sharing (a long time ago)...

I did basically the same thing but used a simpler method to have complete control of the spray. I ran plastic tubing around 30' around 2 1/2" from end put a small split in it and inserted copper tubing into it and taped it together. Ran this end through a 6' cobra. The other copper end was submerged in water. At the other end of the 30' plastic hose was inserted onto this.

and the other end to the compressor hose. I did it this way so it would be random and as much or little hissing per TOT.
