I've never had luck with webcasters but I use the loctite spray and sidewalk chalk dust sanded onto a pair of sanding blocks with 80 grit paper and slap them together to make the dust settle on the glue. A quick matte coat on top gives them some strength
Great tip!
@@VanOaksProps You don't have to make any changes to the nozzle? How's the removal process and how does it stand up to whether? Would we only want to use this on a prop but not say an actual outdoor fence or pillar?
@@b.a.mcclucky Nope. Factory nozzle. It's not going to come off, so don't use it on anything you don't want permanently covered in spray adhesive webs. As for outdoors, its hard to say. We don't get any real weather here in Los Angeles, so it'll last the 2 weeks we have our display up. That may not be the case in states with rain/snow.
@@VanOaksProps Thanks for the tips. I love the shorts like this one. I'm looking to make Halloween sculpts from layered foam sheets, because I can't find the big blocks here in Colorado. I want to make creatures for my brick pillars around my yard. Do you know of any tutorials that use that method instead of the blocks?
Hardware managers everywhere will puzzle about the sudden spike in Loctite Spray Adhesive demand Memorial Day weekend 2021...
🤣🤣🤣
Straight to the point, no fake stories or teasers, and delivered quality material. All in 2 mins. Thank you sir!🙌
You bet!
I've been doing elaborate Halloweens for years, how have I never seen this before!?
Omg! Haunters have the beat way of seeing things! I never would have thought about this! And I cant wait foe that candelabra.
I have done 33M spray adhesive and the opposite end of a shop vac. It creates finer webs, but I love the ease of yours!! No shop vac needed!
Wow that looks so good! I really appreciate you doing such a fast tutorial without trying to unnecessarily stretch out the length of the video
You’re welcome! I try to make videos that I’d want to watch, so they’re not unnecessarily drawn out.
"I wouldn’t use it on anything you don’t want to permanently have cobwebs on."
Can you make a follow-up video that says this, please? I just tried this out, and it looks great, but I wasn't expecting to be STUCK with this on my non-Halloween decor.
It's called Adhesive. Adhesive is glue, now ya know : )
Hopefully you didn't spray anything valuable.
WOW! I have never heard of this one. Soooo easy. I'll be using this in the future for sure! Thanks!
Yes!! I used this exact method in some of my previous haunt builds.. love that you’re sharing this simple but extremely effective but of advice!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Yet another example of how important you are to us all. Bravo on another great, easy to understand, video.
Thank you, Jim
Never thought of or have seen this technique yet. LOVE learning new, extremely practical, and easy methods for "up'ing" my haunting skill set. Thanks a bunch man.🤘💀
Glad it was helpful!
Nicely done! I never had the patience to try the glue gun method and this looks fantastic!
Are you kidding me?!?! Where has this hack been all my life? Thank you so much for sharing!
You’re welcome!
That is so cool and easy or so it seems. NICE!
That is fantastic!! Great tip!
You just made my day! Thank you for sharing this great alternative 😁
You’re welcome!!
This is absolutely fantastic! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
My pleasure!
Love it!
Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. Another fabulous tip!
Thanks buddy!
Fast and amazing! That is just wonderful! Thanks!
Glad you like it!
I have 6 cans of this stuff just sitting in my garage - SO GLAD you've given us this idea
Score!
Amazing!!
That was awsome !!❤
Very cool!
Not sure how I missed this video for so long but as someone who needs a lot of webs, but not all the time, this is a great alternative to buying a compressor
Thanks a bunch man, this is a life saver!!!!
I wonder how it will react under black light?
Thank you for this! It is so much easier than trying to get one of those webcasters i have had my eye on.
100%
😱😱😱 I am SO excited to try this! Genius!!!
Have fun!
Thanks
Wow fantastic idea thank you for sharing !!!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! This was really useful information. I have considered getting a compressor based web gun for some time but was unsure how well I could work that technique with the small compressor I have. Thanks again. For larger project I suppose the cost of the Loctite could add up. For convenience this appears to be a real winner.
Yeah, depending on how much webbing is needed this could get expensive. But if you wanted to web something people would see up close it’s a great option.
Nice. You guys are so creative.
Thanks!
MIND. BLOWN!
Right?!
BEST DIY Halloween video ever! I love the look of spiderwebs but I hate the dollar store kind and how long it takes to arrange. Great video! :)
Thank you! Just remember, once you spray it there’s no taking it off.
HAUNTED SHOVEL!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL DEREK
Thanks dude!
Great tip!
Thanks!
So simple, but very effective!
And fun!
I'm surprised by how good that looks! I imagine you get quite a bit out of a can, too.
Yes, a lot more than you'd think.
I just release about 2000 spiders in and around my house at the beginning of august. By Halloween I have amazing looking cobwebs 🕸!
Super easy!
Very cool. Webs look great. Never thought of making a candelabra out of PVC. Looking forward to that video. Did you use these webs on your flickering chandelier?
Thank you THANK YOU! This is exactly the tutorial I needed. Nice and easy for those of us who are rather more *ahem* DIY-challenged 😂
Glad it was helpful!
Genius!!!
Thanks!
Thanks. I know what I'll be using the year for my front porch
Just remember, it's designed to stick permanently. So don't spray it on anything you don't want webbed for life.
@@VanOaksProps back to the drawing board
Killer!
Dude, holy shit. Never thought of this!
Right?!
Wooow. I solemnly swear I'm up to no good. I need to try this now. :-D
Good luck!
That's quick... Great for last minute effects
Definitely
We used to do this all the time at work with Spray 90 and Stay Put adhesive, sometimes it would just happen on accident too when the wind would blow haha! It’s stinky, messy, and nasty but definitely can make some quick fun webs! 🤣😜👍
For sure!
This is so great. I used to use 3M spray trim adhesive 08080 for the same thing. Discovered it when I was putting vinyl roofs on custom vans, cause I'm old lol. Anyway, some of these things, I even used them on zombie costumes, and some have made it through the laundry in good shape.
gonna go get this one to try. Are they still flammable when dry?
This one isn’t. I believe this may be special to California though but I definitely tested it.
Great Find!!! Gotta Love the old web in a can concept... the now the 64$$$ question, how to you clean up for post Storage is it worse than the old Mole Richardson products.
You don’t. Lol. Once it’s on something it’s staying there.
Is this an easy clean up? Awesome video!
Not at all. I wouldn’t use it on anything you don’t want to permanently have cobwebs on.
so, i'm amazed and mad at the same time 🤣 i struggle with the webcaster
I did too and rarely use it.
That’s a great idea! I’d be careful about what surfaces you use it on though. For my annual Haunted Mansion tours here in Orlando, I usually decorate the ballroom with cobwebs using a hot glue gun and holding it up against a cheap shop vac on blow mode and doing cobwebs a little at a time. Always looks good. Just a bit of a mess to remove post October. After last year I’ve kept mine up all year on the flickering chandeliers at least which saves time. Definitely going to try this for a few projects this summer I have planned
This definitely should not be used on anything you don’t permanently want cobwebs on.
I'm also in orlando. Are your annual haunted Mansion tours just like a friends and family thing or is this something you do professionally?
@@VanOaksProps Good to know! I now won’t be trying this in my home for decor, but love this tip for other applications.
Thanks for posting this, Derek. I’d heard of the Loctite technique but hadn’t seen a good demo of it. How do the webs hold up outdoors in average weather?
As well as you’d expect. The webbing is very thin, so unless you go heavy like I did, they may need refreshing throughout the haunt season.
@@VanOaksProps Yes, any webs I have this year will only be in my new yard display and for a few nights only.
Much easier than the compressed air method we've done!
Definitely!
any alternative brands to use?
Wish I would have known about this sooner lol 😂
Looks good but sticky but good
What a great idea does it stick those too much you know what I mean like is it going to be too sticky and hard to get off materials like table runners??
Don’t spray it on anything you don’t want cobwebs on for the rest of your life. It will not come off once applied.
This is epic!! Quick question, how easily does it clean off?
It doesn’t.
@@VanOaksProps thank you:)
I wonder if Disneyland’s mansion does this in their loading area. Theirs definitely had layers of dust over them, though.
Could be. It looks very similar.
Is this method ideal for permanent decoration? I have a collection room that's basically like the haunted mansion and it needs webs.. if not what would you recommend instead?
I wouldn't use this for anything permanent, since it'll never come off. If you're ok with that, and don't mind the occasional touch up, then you could use this method (at your own risk, of course).
This is great, but I can't find Loctite Spray Adhesive in my area. Can another spray adhesive work, like Gorilla Glue Spray?
I’ve only ever seen it done with loctite, so I’m not sure.
Super! Are the cob webs removable later? Like could I use them for Halloween only, then take off/down?
Unfortunately, no. Once applied they'll stick until they disintegrate. It's definitely not recommended for anything you don't want cobwebs on forever.
niicceeeeee
Thanks
What is the cleanup like on this? I'd love to do our haunt in something easier than the web gun, but it seems like this would be a pain to clean up :D
Just as bad as using a web gun, unfortunately.
@@VanOaksProps Well, as long as it's not worse :D
Are the cobwebs flammable once dry? Love your videos.
They don’t flame up when introduced to fire, but rather, sort of melt. But that may only be the version sold in California since our environmental standards are different.
I just tried this technique but I seem to have run into a major issue, the webs don’t seem to be coming out right, they spray with a slight foaminess which ends up making stringier and Gooier then how they look here, is there any way to fix this?
I’d make sure your nozzle is clear. Aside from that, it could just be an old can of spray adhesive.
That beats the hell out of vulcanized fluid method.
For sure
I still have my webcaster gun that uses the metal fan blade and rubber cement.
Old school! Those still make the best webs.
Cool idea. Thanks. It would be good to go over clean up. Which it doesnt right? No way to get off?
That's correct. It's for permanent application, as it's a spray adhesive.
@@VanOaksProps I wonder if you should mention that?
Point taken. My assumption (which I know is wrong to assume) was that viewers would understand that heavy spray adhesive isn't removable since it's designed to permanently bond items together. It should also be noted that webbing from hot glue web shooters isn't all that removeable either. So I think it may be safe to say that most fake cobwebs are not able to be removed.
@@VanOaksProps I just today discovered that you could actually spray cobwebs on things. And there's a bunch of different ways. My life will never be the same. Thanks!
Does it stays like that all day/night? Doesn't melt our something like that ?
It’s pretty resilient.
very cool. What's the coverage area? how water proof is this can it be used outdoors?
Not very waterproof because it’s thin. I haven’t tested to see just how much coverage you’d get from a can but for the video I used hardly any of it.
@@VanOaksProps thanks for the quick reply. guess I'll need to buy a can, for science.
Will you be using these webs on your flickering chandelier? Bet they would look good on it.
I don’t know yet, but it’s possible.
Can this be used outside? All Halloween month? Will it melt in the heat?
It can be used outdoors, but it's somewhat delicate and may need refreshing with additional webbing over time.
We can’t get this stuff in Australia. I’ve searched everywhere. Any aussies on here know of an alternative?
I've seen this before but never tried it. Since my display is outside I'd expect it wouldn't hold up to weather.
With heavy application it should hold, but not long term.
Because this is an adhesive, does it stick to stuff? Would it ruin everyday surfaces or items?
It will absolutely ruin everyday items. Do not use it on anything you don’t want webbing on for the rest of time.
Does this come off of bushes, shrubs and trees well? :)
It will breakdown over time, but it's not quick.
Excellent! How many cans will I need to do the entire exterior of my house do you think? ;o)
I wouldn’t recommend using it on any surfaces you don’t want permanently webbed.
Hey Man, LOVE your content , 2 questions. 1 - what is the music you use for these? I assume its Disney/Haunted Mansion related (sorry, I'm not a Disney fan) and 2 - has anyone ever told you that you sound just a bit like the late great casey Kasem? I can almost hear you saying ZOIKS as shaggy .. anyway, thanks for so many great tips and ideas
Thanks so much! The music is something I got from a royalty free music website and isn't connected to the Haunted Mansion or Disneyland. Just a fun piece of music.
As for Casey Kasem, yes. I hear it more often than you'd think.
How well does it clean up? I used a webcaster gun and still have webs 🕸 ten years later 🤣
It’s definitely not for anything you don’t permanently want webs on. None of the webbing options really are, except for the stretchy cotton ones.
Is this good for black lights??
@@Whatworksthisworks I don't know for certain, but I wouldn't think so.
Approximately how much of that can of adhesive was used for this project? Would this do three candelabras? Ten candelabras? Forty-two candelabras?
Very little was used. I’d be you could get 5-10 depending on how heavy you want the webs.
@@VanOaksProps Thanks!! Good to know!
😳😃🙌🏼Was literally just about to buy a webcaster gun. Nope!
Will this stuff peel off easy if needed or is it permanently affixed?
Not intended for anything you hold precious.
You can also use a reverse shop vac and a regular large hot glue gun. I just hold mine next to the hose as it’s blowing and in small amounts gets the job done. Been doing that for a few years for our haunted mansion tours. My chandeliers always look great and I cover with sheets anything I don’t want the glue to get onto. Just be careful of wood surfaces and anything fragile
Where can u buy at
Most hardware stores and Amazon carry it.
I feel like you made a cobweb gun in an early video. This is way easier!
That’s correct. This is much easier. Lol
Would gorilla spray adhesive work too?
I haven't tested it, so I can't say.
Argh. How the heck hadn't I heard of this before in all my DYI cobweb hunting.
Well that escalated quickly.
Hahahaha
So that’s adhesive, I would imagine it would stick to your walls and carpet if you were doing a scene inside. How hard is it to cleanup?
Great question! I'd love to know the answer to this as well!
It will stick to anything it touches but once it dries out will lose some of its adhesive quality. It’s definitely not recommended for non-Halloween or important surfaces.
@@VanOaksProps
Check out this tutorial I found today!
Ir seems like this might get a better result and be safer on your props and walls.
ua-cam.com/video/q9ox51k5-T8/v-deo.html
I think because it's got glue in it, it's still likely to stain or stick to anything it touches and would probably ruin fabrics once the glue has dried. I could be completely wrong, but those are my initial thoughts
Cool, nice solution to a sticky situation...wait....what...? HeeHe ;D
I know, right?
How hard is it to remove?
Very. As I mention in the video it’s not for anything that you don’t want webs on forever.
@@VanOaksProps Didn’t catch that, thanks
@@DaneilJL my pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Just made a quick run to Home Depot, came home, and did these ALL OVER the house. Think Claire will like it?
Claire might. Your landlord, not so much.
Not recommended for indoor use?😅😅😅
I wouldn’t.
So quick and easy...who would have know?......
Totally!
I'm making predator 😳
Deadly for small creatures - please don't use outside.
How do you make good cobwebs?
Find a giant spider...duh ;)
