The best DIY, Professional Air Crete Gun for under $50

Make sure to watch the first part • DIY, Professional look...
In this video I will teach you how to build a simple Aircrete machine for big projects that makes foam to add to your concrete. It costs no more than $50 and it works like a champ. It will take you 25 minutes to build. Unlike some other designs out there this one is compact, easy to use and will not drip soap all over the place.
for the soap: mix one part of Suave Essentials Shampoo Daily Clarifying and 50 parts water by weight you can use a kitchen scale to measure.

Thanks for taking the time to share your free information! Unlike a previous commenter, I have no problem spending a few seconds going to one of your other videos you reference; you are already giving your time and energy for free, I shouldn’t expect you to spoon feed me as well. You have a new subscriber, thanks again!

Best foam generator I've seen!

[@MrTimjwilson]

This is genius. Thank you. I am also going to experiment using an airlift connected to a compressor with no water pump.

[@roblescurbappealconcrete]

Excellent job! I will be using this set up. Thank you so much for creating this design. So simple, but it just comes easier to some than others. Keep up the good work

[@dennisthatcher4384]

Nice, concise and straight foreword. I appreciate your efforts. Will build one like it tomorrow, been working on a foam generator for a couple of days now but this looks a lot easier.

[@jimfitzgibbon5492]

I must thank you so much for making this video. You explained this so much better than any other sight I have visited. I thank you my friend.

[@victorgrange8361]

Excellent and fantastic video. God bless you. This lightweight and simple professional DIY Air-crete cannon gun will save me a lot of money. Also, I will be using it with a low-cost Car-wash liquid soap solution with 1:100 gallon dilution for my CLC block making pilot project in Africa. Thank you a million and have a great new year celebration. VG

[@zmanjo]

This is the best build I've seen, thank you. I will have to get the pump you used, I bought a cheap one, and the air pressure just pushes the water back

7th generation soap has glycerin 1oz soap to 16 oz water

[@mandiegarrett1706]

Would this be the same thing as using a pressure washing hooked to a bucket of soap solution? We have a good brand high pressure washer I bought for my husband to wash his semi work truck. I have seen him using the soap solution and spray it on his truck. It's the same thing, right? Thanks.

[@ItaiLeshniak]

I don't think it will work. It needs air in the mix. But try and if it does let me know.

[@BrettMJuddMSW]

Great build. Will definitely follow. A question. Why a 12v pump and not a simple 110v fountain pump?

[@ItaiLeshniak]

You can use a 115V pump but not a fountain pump it simply won't have the needed pressure. The pump's pressure needs to overcome the compressor.

[@BrettMJuddMSW]

@@ItaiLeshniak thank you. I'll look at the pump you used for specs. Looking forward to a summer of foam.

[@GeomancerHT]

Did you try adding glycerin to the mix and comparing the foam life expectancy?

[@ItaiLeshniak]

I didn't do a comparison.

[@adrianaredditt-rodriguez792]

Sorry if I missed it in the video - did you cut the existing power line from the pump and replace it with your own? The one you linked on amazon has the car charger connection. Could I substitute with a different power supply that I can plug in to that adapter? Thanks!

[@ItaiLeshniak]

I used a motorcycle battery. You can plug it in your car or cut and connect to a battery. You will need a powerful 12V power supply if you want to connect directly to one.

[@MrTimjwilson]

@@ItaiLeshniak You can also use almost any 110/120 AC pump.

[@williamsobers5057]

I don't know how to share Amazon links in comments. However, I ordered a blower fan with an adjustable power supply for $19. It looks like it will plug into the pump instead of using the car plug. I also ordered the pump kit from this video. Both units are supposed to arrive tomorrow May 13th.2024. The blower fan is for an upcoming waste oil furnace build. I will report back as to whether or not the power supplies are interchangeable. It's a 6000 rpm blower fan if anyone is interested in looking it up.

[@williamsobers5057]

The power supply from the blower fan works awesome. The pump and sprayer work well out of the box. I don't have the paint sprayer and PVC yet. I'm going to try and get to harbor freight and home Depot tomorrow.

[@chrisk7118]

Just wondering, what is the benefit of this terminating into a thinner pipe? Couldn't the gun barrel simply end at the end of the 1" pipe? The wire will stop the stainless steel wool coming out so why is the thinner pipe necessary on the end? Thanks

[@thegreatmrbox]

I was wondering as well

[@meekeec.2867]

can one use a Submersible water Pump instead? If yes, what type or model would be best? Thanks.

[@ItaiLeshniak]

No. It does not have the required pressure.

[@meekeec.2867]

@@ItaiLeshniak thanks

[@Sedonakid]

Omg! Your beautiful! Hahaha. Dude ! This is brilliant! I’ll do you pool! 😂

[@chainsaw5524]

You seem to be able to make good foam. Have you made any air crete? I do not see a video. Thanks

[@ItaiLeshniak]

I did not make a video, there are a lot of videos on KZbin for this.

[@chainsaw5524]

@@ItaiLeshniak Thanks for your reply. I have watched many of them. What mix ratios did you use for air crete? How high can it be formed before collapsing? Thanks.

[@johnecobuilder274]

Hello. What specifications that compresor has? I am going to buy one, but I ignore those machines at all

[@johnecobuilder274]

Thanks

[@abxchange]

Adding a bit of glycerine would make the foam more stable.

[@abxchange]

Well, I was thinking of how glycerine makes bubbles last longer, but I see it is also used for anti foaming, so I guess I am wrong.

[@MrTimjwilson]

@@abxchange No, you are correct.

You keep referencing the other video, the 1st video. if the purpose is to get more clicks and subscribers, maybe you should tell us all what all you're doing in this video rather than have us go find another one

[@1997smb]

STOP the Whining! The other video is mainly for people like you who can't understand how to unscrew the spray in the front and replace it with a .99 cent pvc adapter.

[@mandiegarrett1706]

This kind man already uses his precious time doing these videos which contains a lot of information for us so let's be appreciative and do our part to do our own research and get the rest of information we need. It takes a lot of time and energy to put up a video as good as this. THANK YOU.
