How to make a DIY cobweb Webshooter gun to make realistic spider webs

[@Soldier4USA2005]

I've used this on a film set as set designer/dresser and it's really effective. The only changes I would make, would be to trim the cup/lid lips, so that the air from the fan hits the rubber cement sooner.

[@lorraineneil1424]

My husband and I discussed this and decided that adding anything to the mix might hurt the integrity of the glue but adding color via baking flour after might do the trick! We're going to try this out once we finisher our web maker!

[@andyt1313]

Wow. Easiest DIY cobweb device I’ve seen so far.

[@jayanthiramakrishnan5130]

Omgees!!!!! Absolutely amazing!!!!!!! May your tribe increase!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DrawbridgeProps]

Rubber cement is a non-permanent adhesive. Once cured (almost instantly) it is easy to remove as it sticks to itself. It is slightly easier to clean up than real cobwebs. I have never had it stain any surface but would be leary about spraying it on delicate fabric or a fine mesh that it could clog.

[@TryptychUK]

After application, use a "puffer" bottle of talcum powder over the web to improve visibility and reduce the stickiness of the rubber filament.

[@AltShiftSmoke]

Im an avid prop build and just let me say i LOVE your shop so neat and organized its perfect!

[@1ucasvb]

Thanks for making the only good video on the topic on the entire KZbin.

[@TheHauntedManor]

I have always wanted to know how this effect is created! Now I'm going to be slinging rubber cement EVERYWHERE!!!!! Thank you so much!

[@DrawbridgeProps]

Love it!

[@B33pb33]

Woooooow. This is so simple yet so fricken cool???

[@copchick3430]

Wow, I really think this is a great idea! Until I watched you use it, I couldn't imagine how it was going to produce those cobwebs. Excellent!

[@mechanikjoe]

PERFECT instructional video! Thanks!

[@coolbutrudedude87]

Dude i love this!! Thank you!!! I was struggling with hot glue and spray adhesive techniques and they are mehhh at best this looks legit. Ill lyk my results today!!

[@DrawbridgeProps]

Rubber cement is the liquid that is used to create the webs. It is easily removable from most surfaces. I personally have never had any problems with it marring a surface but some rubber cement contains acetone which could effect some plastics. See the wiki page about rubber cement en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_cement

[@stormcrow3096]

Amazing. Love it. Thanks so much.

[@BirdOfParadise777]

OK! This video seriously ROCKS!!!

[@stinamew]

This is terrific! Thanks so much for making this video!

[@andyk5467]

whoa! just like in the movies!

[@maxwellnalevansky1828]

YAAASSSSSSSSS, thanks for helping us make our movie. u rule

[@silbestardungdung4931]

If all these materials were small, then it would have become web shooters !! WELL DONE!!!!!

[@BobQwack]

this is the work of a genius

[@Vickie910]

Thank you! This is an excellent idea!

[@ScareHollow]

Thank you for the awesome tutorial for this!!

[@Yomika14xyukina44]

awesome vid ! i really love it !

[@loop5720]

This is so beautiful, imagine making a webshooter for this, lol

[@JoshMooreCodes]

I made this today and it worked great. it does have an issue where it starts to vibrate badly if you go too fast or put too much fluid in, to the point where the container broke and flew off the drill in version 1. I fixed this by getting a hole saw that fit snugly outside the container and adding that between the container and the fan with a bit of a larger washer. that kept it from getting off balance and vibrating itself at all and I could go up to full speed with the drill with no issues..

[@silbestardungdung4931]

You just made my day!!😄😄

[@DrawbridgeProps]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@skybugproductions7527]

That’s cool. The fan was mounted backwards, turn it around for more air flow.

[@Jcolinsol]

Useful how-to video, thank you. How do you know which side of the blade to attach the container to, so that it blows air forward rather than backward?

[@stevepeterson5943]

I believe that's the same contraption Spiderman concealed in his sleeve : )

[@Odelightful1]

that was quite smart. its better than the glue gun that actually makes cob webs this idea is a cheaper and much better option

[@FeralBoyKnives]

Such a great idea!

[@DrawbridgeProps]

the fan in the video is a duct fan so any store that supplies heating ducts will have fans like this. i've also experimented with wooden propellers from model airplanes and have had good success.

[@nickdudman82]

awesome! thanks for the tutorial...just what ive been looking for!!

[@DrawbridgeProps]

I would suggest looking at a house fan and then compare the direction of the blades with the fan you are going to install.

[@belorianuskane1952]

Ha! thats cool. I often asked myself how they did all the cobwebs you see in movies ie. when they venture into that old ass temple ruin or such. Now I know. Thank you. :)

[@llewmorcsquared]

That is so cool!!!

[@DrawbridgeProps]

@kezadrone If you're making a lot of web I would use an air compressor. You can use rubber cement or low melt glue in a glue gun.

[@e88e16]

Awesome thank you so much this was really useful 🤩

[@bombdiggity8179]

Love it! Awesome channel! Can't wait to see what else you guys come out with.

[@dweezeltheyounger]

Fantastic. Thanks!

[@chrisgallagher85]

awesome

[@MrMeSoMAD]

How bad is the cleanup after ??? Thinking of doing this for a Halloween party indoors.

[@DrawbridgeProps]

Rubber cement is a removable adhesive so it is similar to removing real spider webs.

[@DrawbridgeProps]

@mbunds yes we did. i eventually twisted the blades in the opposite direction for the correct air flow.

[@Halloweenville]

Awsome , Thank you so much for making this video I'm going to make one for this year.

[@All_Loves_Lost]

Amazing-!

[@54chevysj]

Very cool!!!

[@Slapoftruth]

AWESOME! Now i can wrap it on my wrist and pretend to be spiderman!!!! :D

[@mortissanguine]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing, this is exactly what I was looking for....

[@DennyFilms]

The faster the drill the smaller the hole and likely the finer the web. Definitely use a high speed drill and not some cheap 12v cordless! One of these shoots we should see how your air powered die grinder would work, hey Levi?

[@DrawbridgeProps]

I've never tried but i'm sure that anything that is non staining and will mix with the glue would work. Please let me know if you find something that works really well.

[@HKpanzer]

Where did you get the fan blade?

[@JBlanke]

might work better if you put the fan blade on the right way, the convex side should face the drill, and the concave side should face outwards. Curved fan blades like the one shown, are designed for maximum efficiency in one direction, and you have it on backwards, no wonder you had to bend the blades.

[@dweezeltheyounger]

The blade can only mount one way - look at it. It's shank is on one side only. Reverse drill is the answer if you need to get more umph.

[@kylefox8295]

Most drills can spin both ways.

[@kevinraber7823]

that one is for me

[@lindseyphilgilbert-ferguso2225]

I was wondering the holes that you drilled in the sides for the rubber cement to come out what size drill bit did you use. I have been trying to make this web gun for three days and it doesn't come out right. Not like in your video, mine either won't spread any webs or it throws globs out. This has become frustrating and not fun for me and my son who have been trying to make this work. Any help would be appreciated. I did learn that to get it to do any webs at all I have to crank the speed on my drill all the way up but then it barely does any webs at all.

[@DrawbridgeProps]

Very Small holes. Fast speed.

[@TheBKottmyer]

Could a white pigment/color be added to the rubber cement to make the cobwebs more visible?

[@ImaFunGamer]

Are you the REAL Spider Man?

[@jamiebuechler3292]

What is clean up like? Thinking of this for Halloween decor but don't want to wreck my house

[@riggormortiss001]

Until now, I had been using the poly-type stretchy webbing for our CRYPT's creepiness... "Riggor Mortiss Presents" just got an upgrade!

[@1984Deathpool]

Where did you get your fan? Been to home depot and couldn't find anything. Having a hard time finding it locally or online :(

[@Ikaros131]

Do you know if the web glows when you light it up with a black light???

[@messias342]

Wow Spider-Man love the vid now how strong can you make the web Spider-Man

[@DrawbridgeProps]

@brettlorijames i believe it's a 6" fan for duct work. i bought mine a farm supply store "Princess Auto" but i'm sure that you can find one at a heating and air conditioning supplier. two holes in the container. first one gets plugged by the bolt. the second (the very tiny one) lets the glue out. i tried more, but just ended up with too much glue coming out.

[@ManuFortiMcCoy]

What size is the little drill bit? I usued one about the size of a piece of lead from a mechanical pencil. It seems to be to small. The stream of rubber cement is so thin that it tends to fly-away from the wind from the fan blade. I have to be very delicate with the speed of the drill (drill is 0-2500RPM). Great Video. Very detailed. Thank you, this is just what I was looking for. Please post more Halloween How To's.

[@DrawbridgeProps]

@hfxscotsman33 i would not use contact cement, rubber cement is designed to be a removable adhesive so i cleans up easily

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Awesome :)

[@DrawbridgeProps]

Thanks 😁

[@Dandura]

Awesome. I want your shop.

[@sarak488]

Where can I get a fan blade? any store suggestions?

[@Calvinrobbs]

How much surface will that bottle of Rubber Cement cover?

[@noahchapman4196]

What exactly is the fan blade thing I looked but couldn’t find one like that

[@DrawbridgeProps]

here is one for sale: amzn.to/2tyGsre

[@noahchapman4196]

Drawbridge Props & Armoury thanks

[@vcancer]

Rubber cement is flammable. If you doing this you have to use something that's not flammable if using candles in the area with these webs. I would like to see a test of a flame of candles real close to the webbing to see what happens. If I catch fire I would look for something that's not Flammable and give you the same effect.

[@jordanzavaleta]

did you find out wheres good to get one?

[@DemonRaksha]

If I want to make more cobwebs at once can i drill 2 or 3 smaller holes under the lid or does it have to be just one?

[@bashkillszombies]

+Makisma Boeva You could try, keep the holes symmetrical. The results will be inferior though and look less realistic. Like the 'webcaster gun' someone mentioned above which blows multiple streams it just doesn't look right at all.

[@DrawbridgeProps]

@hfxscotsman33 you can clean up the glue as easily as cleaning up real cob webs

[@normlor8109]

love this hack but is it possible to buy the fan blade in a Hardware store instead of online??

[@leviwoods7043]

i bought mine at a place that sells hvac ducting.

[@kayschmid9726]

I enjoyed ur video. forget the naysayers they didn't even try to make a video. keep it up. old crone

[@PamelaBrandonChromeFoto]

How long does the webs last?, Wanted to do it this weekend will the last up to halloween night?

[@DrawbridgeProps]

They webs made from rubber cement are very similar to real cob webs. they don't come down until you physically remove them. people, pets, wind can all take them down. if they are inside and not touched they will look exactly the same for the whole month. you can also add more at anytime to touch it up if they do get damaged

[@tonyprops]

Nice..

[@demeniexjoy743]

What this lliquied neam????

[@douxie_rec6870]

So, thats basically a web shooter

[@elcompatony5520]

How easy is clean up thoe anyone know?

[@DrawbridgeProps]

It’s not sticky, so it’s just a broom or cloth. Easier than real webs.

[@Rubymafarie]

Cool it hard=.=

[@ajello49able]

How does the cement leave the container?

[@DrawbridgeProps]

Through the hole I drilled. It shows clearly in the video.

[@jerrymc777]

Is it best to drill 2 small holes on both sides of the plastic container? Or did you only drill 1 hole?

[@DrawbridgeProps]

I only drilled 1 hole. It applies it fast enough for my applications. Some people drill one on each side. I have honestly never tried.

[@jerrymc777]

I saw one YT video showing 2 holes.... I might try 4 holes too... Lol

[@jerrymc777]

Hi again: I just tried this but drilled 4 holes. (1 at each round side) It works well but it's really slow creating the webs and then it begins gathering and clumping up. Is it better to use a square container so the rubber gathers better in each corner inside? Also, what size small drill bit did you use? Thanks again!

[@DrawbridgeProps]

it is not a super fast technique. I found a square container worked well as it forces more liquid to the corners of the container. I have only ever used one hole. Can't remember what size bit.

[@jerrymc777]

Thanks! I'll try square...

[@fender7682]

that room looks like a torture room the bad guy takes his victims in to tie them up and dismember them

[@selasololeadofficial3981]

what is the liquid did u use for?

[@DrawbridgeProps]

Rubber cement.

[@pfdlegaspi1]

What size diameter blade did you use 8" or 10"?

[@DrawbridgeProps]

I believe that was an 8" blade. Really the blade diameter is a variable that can control the amount of throw that you have. I have used this same design with up to a 15" blade.

[@pfdlegaspi1]

How many people were waiting for him to pull the trigger at 3:29?

[@TheViewer01]

Very interesting! I’ve been looking to make some artificial cob webs. I need to make them look old and dusty. Someone has been steeling from me at my work place. I want to see who the hell it is and have them arrested and fired. The project I’m doing is, I’m going to set up a small fake air vent that looks real and old with dust and cob webs. A hidden camera will be hidden in the fake vent. I so want to catch the fucker that is taking my stuff. Maybe I’ll get my stuff back or the cash value equivalent of what they took from me.

[@DrawbridgeProps]

That sucks. We use a product called pyrolite to dust the webs. Good luck.

[@blackquiver]

I spent 15$ on most of the items, can't make this tool cause a guy can't buy the fan blade anymore. Can a guy use any blade or what?.

[@DrawbridgeProps]

blackquiver In Canada you can order duct booster fan blades from Princess Auto. In the US you can get them at Grainger Industrial Supply online. Or your could phone a heating supplier and ask for a "duct booster fan blade" 10" works great!!

[@blackquiver]

Thanks

[@wampabutt]

GRAINGERS (an industrial supply chain) sells these fan blades in a lot of different styles. I JUST bought one 3 days ago and you can order from them online graingers.coms

[@CARDOLLINU]

REALLY COMPLIMENTS FOR YOUR ORDER? YOU SHOULD MAKE A SITE WITH ALL YOUR ALL YOUR GLUE THAT YOU USED ingenious ideas? You could use the sugar dissolved O HEATED?

[@bestrealestate3831]

I've read elsewhere that the rubber cement needs to be thinned out...? Also, the talcum powder makes it look more authentic and not shiny... Good demo though :)

[@ihalloway]

and than wife returns home ,,,

[@BofhJohn]

you have the fan on backwards.

[@davidwilliams4201]

The drill spins clockwise or counterclockwise - so - no problem - just reverse it - s-i-m-p-l-e-!

[@HKpanzer]

i bought a small fan from wallyworld and cannibalized it.

[@blee0518]

Hows the clean up?

[@DrawbridgeProps]

Rubber cement doesn't really stick to anything permanently so there is little chance of residue. That being said it is similar to cleaning regular cobwebs. It clings. I would be careful on surfaces that could be effected by the solvent that is in the rubber cement. It could permanently damage some surfaces like plastic.

[@CJ-vr6yx]

Couldn't u just put the container on the drill without the fan

[@DrawbridgeProps]

Without the fan the web just goes around the cup and falls straight down.
