Electronic Webcaster Gun makes Halloween decorating a cinch
DVICE: "If you want your house to look a little more like a set piece for Arachnophobia, this Electronic Webcaster Gun should do just the trick. It's loaded up with 'Web Sticks' that give it something of a glue gun feel, but — instead of hot glue — it shoots out icky streams of webbing."

this is a very cool thing. it seems like an air compressor hooks up to it and then it sprays out the mixture. all i think it is a hot glue gun that has compressed air going thought it to make the glue turn in to a web. so this is pretty simple i think. this thing seems like it is pretty cool i just wonder if it works and makes webs as good as the pitcher show. i think that is a lot of trill and air to get it to look that way. i like how there is different types of webs you can make and different colors. so i would like to uses this and see how it works.
I really want to know what makes the webbing stuff different from hot glue given that the device literally looks like someone attached a air hose connection to the handle of a glue gun. I get that the device is intended to make it easy to spray fake webs up in corners that would require a ladder or more, but given how much the device looks like a glue gun, I find myself wondering just how mildly permanent the spray on material is. Also, Robert raised a good point, any professional came make amazing webs with a variety of things, but does the device let the amateur really make webs like shown?
I really love this idea, because I have always loved decorating for Halloween, and the traditional spiderweb material, while cheap and easy to stretch out, can be a pain to attach to things. I think this would solve a lot of problems for amateur haunted houses and such, but the price makes it out of reach of the average consumer. I'm really curious to see how this would work in action, if it actually "shoots" the webs out.
I have seen advertisements for similar products before, and while I agree that it doesn't look like it's all that impressive seeing as it does look like a glue gun with an air hose attached, I still think it's pretty awesome! Like Sarah, I love decorating for Halloween, and it seems like this would make it much easier and faster. Plus, if it truly turns out like the picture, it looks much more real than the traditional spiderweb material. I would really like to see it.
This seems like a neat tool, and might even be useful for making things that call for such an airy texture, but I can't help but wonder: could we get the same effect my taping an air hose under the nose of a regular glue gun? Could we make a bigger analogue with a bucket of hot glue on the stove, some sort of baffle, and the exhaust port of a shop vac? That would be a lot of fun to try :)
