great video ted! I'll be investing in a critter gun soon, and all the other maintenance tips are great as well. I'm intrigued by that glue pot too, It's something I haven't seen before and I'll look into getting one of those as well. Thanks for all your videos!

Why not spray a cleaner/solvent through the gun to clean it. You could also get welding tip cleaners. Thank you

pipe cleaners from tobacco shops work really well too. they are more heavy duty than the normal craft pipe cleaners.

Hey Ted, thank you so much for all the tips! i was wondering if i can substitute the critter gun with an hvlp gun, since those are a lot cheaper and seem to do the same work as the critter gun.Or am i not seeing something obvious?? Thank you again!
@thestrandedrobot13118 жыл бұрын
forgive me if you've answered this earlier but can you weigh in on the critter gun vs the K-grip gun? ones cheaper and i've read the parts are interchangeable?

Great video! Instead of latex can you use the same cleaning method for spraying Creature Cast?

Do you have other suggestions for glue pots? The one linked in the description does not ship to Canada, and I can't seem to find it on amazon canada. Thank you!

+Laety x In the UK they're pretty hard to find too. Found a couple of cheapo plastic ones on ebay that were pretty terrible but then I happened to see tandy leather do one. It's not the cheapest thing but damn.. so happy with it :) It appears they ship to Canada so you might be in luck

Hello :) Thank you for the very educational video ( as usual hehe). Is there any chance you could maybe make a tutorial for the Witcher sword? In short, I'm making a Ciri cosplay, but her sword is a pain because it has a cutout. Could you maybe give some advice on what materials to use best if I will be stage-fighting with it? I would use the metal rod as you showed with the skyrim axe, but because of the hole I can't. Was planning on using MDF or balsa wood with resin and fiberglass overlay but it seems really advanced. Here is a picture of the sword - i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--og1LOS-a--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/afavgv2peekenrpwixs6.jpg. Also, I have to thank you for teaching me via youtube how to make a good breastplate. It's a rare thing to find someone who doesn't use worbla these days. :)

+Mac Monheim We don't have L200 or L300 or any kind of foam here really, EVA is super rare and expensive that's why I was planning on using wood and fiberglass. Worbla also doesn't exist here, would have to order online and pay about $70 for a 50x50 cm sheet. I make most armour from yoga mats, but I guess those wouldn't be dense enough to make a thin sword. Another option is expanding foam, but I know I couldn 't make it so thin. The problems are real :D
