- In this video I teach you how to build a simple Aircrete machine for small projects that makes foam to add to your concrete. It costs no more than $30 and it works like a champ. It will take you 15 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.
Make sure your concrete mix is somewhat liquidy, if it's too solid it will not mix correctly with the foam.
Make sure to watch the updated design

No cutting, no gluing, no duct taping! You can still use your paint gun since you didn't damage it. Amazing that the PVC thread just fit the air gun thread. I have been watching DIY foaming gun making videos for 3 years now. This is by far the easiest. You can make 4 of these in parallels and get high volume. You can even use electric paint spray gun and potentially no need for air compressor. Keep the good job man.
Hmmm! Good idea. But wouldn't it be slow? And also, the electric sprayers I've seen are still logged about with a very huge air compressor.
Great design, I like the above comment too, was just wondering how to scale it up
@@brichardson7884 Have you found a way to make this in a bigger scale? Thank you.
I tried that, but had a tube feed for the top. It worked okay. I also found that just a small amount of glycerine in the water makes the bubbles stronger. They last longer.
Very Occam's razor approach to the construction, although for using to mix concrete add glycerol to keep bubbles intact long enough for the aerated concrete to harden.
I was a bit skeptical about this but when I tried it, the result was above expectation. However, I suggest you consider replacing steel wool with steel window mesh since steel wool tends to rust and may change the color of the foam. Other than this, it's a marvelous brilliant idea and for a $40 I got a genuine air gone. Thank you a lot
Use stainless steel wool
Exactly what you need for small projects like planters & yard art where you're not mixing an entire bag of cement. Thanks for sharing!
I appreciate so much that you shared this with everyone. Some try to gain on what they come up with. I cN understand that - to a point.
Awesome Aircrete gun !
Now I can replace a 5 yr old design that didn't work so well.
All the best,
Wulfy
Amazing job. Eureka moment watching this - there is always a better way. This time you found it, congratulations and thanks for sharing. Now I have the confidence to get started with aircrete
I notice people either do not know or they avoid the one question that should be ask, How stable or the bubbles and density. I can make bubbles with a Kitchen blender but the Bubbles do not have the stability of the density for use in Aircrete. I think the biggest problem is size.
Try one ounce of liquid soap for every 16 ounces.
try the 7th generation soap. From my understanding 7th generation detergents are good for these purposes...or you could add glycerine to your soap mixture... not sure about the ratio though
one liter (quart) of bubbles should weigh 90 > < 104 grams.
Duuuude! This is fantastic! A very cost effective design for foam generator for foamcrete... cool!
Thanks a lot!
good idea in theory. I tried this, but the resistance from the iron scrubbies causes back pressure in the cup/hopper which causes it to blow out.
Please see my other video to help with this, the link is in the description. ua-cam.com/video/tsBoYSk5Mys/v-deo.html
This is the type of simplicity that I always look for! Thank you for the idea! I do think that I will make one or two changes. But this is brilliant!
What would you change ?
Hello Itai that was an amazing invention. So simple and works perfect. Thank you. I'll spread this to friends as well.
Thanks!
This is a cool, Simple, easy to understand video. Thank you for sharing
Great idea in using a paint sprayer gun. Am awaiting the larger volume model video.

Love it! Best gun design I've seen to date.
Finally...a clear explanation...one I can do as well...fantastic mind
A clear and easy to understand how-to video. Thank you for sharing. I think I can actually make this one. 😊
shout out from Schulenburg Tx thanks for this tip i bet it will drive the kids crazy.
Please make a follow up video where you replace the top tank with hose that leads to a bucket with solution. Many of us want to make houses, sheds, and big projects.
I am working on it. I just need to find time to take the video.
@@ItaiLeshniak Sounds good! Looking forward to it. Great work
@@divisionoflabor3070
Probably need a bigger gun, not bigger tank
@@johnle231 No, the limiting factor is the amount of solution, the gun is doing just fine
@@divisionoflabor3070
With unlimited amount of solution, what would produce faster, a garden hose or the paint gun in this video?
Exactly. Thx. You know I’m right
thank you for this !I have a few spare paint guns identical to the one used in the video which will be converted using your instructions.
due to inflation this will be around $40. Steel wool items linked will run $19 and the sprayer is $17, to give you an idea of 2023 prices. Still I like the idea and will try it.
Make sure to look at my other videos with the improved design.
@@ItaiLeshniak i quickly glanced at the improved design; it still uses an air compressor? I think if I have success using foam for my application I can then go to the other design but I don't think I need to get the pump right now. thanks for doing this.
GOOD IDEA JUST CHANGE THE TOP MIXING CAMBER TO EXTERMAN TANK
Thanks for the video. Brilliant using the sprayer. Good proof of concept, it needs to produce more volume of foam somehow….so larger with robust compressor I guess?
Yes need to be more foam and faster
Grate IDEA ! thanks.
Awesome 👏, I see many diferent styles , but yours is excellent .
Brilliant. Thank you for sharing this.
thank you, it works marvellous
Look at the 2nd video, there is a link in the description.
Helpfullll !!! Thank you mr
FYI - you say PVC 1" adapter but at 52 in the video show a slip x slip coupling
Excellent Sir! Thank you!
That was awesome!
GREAT IDEA. THANKS FOR SHARING.
Great! Thank you!
What air pressure are you using with the gun and how is it working with the liquid container sealed ?
Awesome
How does the soap drain in if you block the tank vent?
I’m assuming the air pressure can be changed to make foam faster...
Thanks for your video! What kind of soap do you use to generate foam? Is it just a common household soap or a special kind soap?
Tranks for The vídeo
go a question maybe you know the answer to if I were trying to make a home made foamer from common materials would it make sense to point a soap solution at a screen like your sink areator to create foam ? thoughts please thank you
Been watching some of these videos but dont get how the bubbles stay "bubbles" while mixing in a cement mixer.
Are they made with a plasticer type product or just dish soap?
Would love to try this with a high pressure spray application like "Shot Crete" w Aircrete ...
Or just use a drywall Hopper instead
PErfect!!!! Really the simpliest way is also the easiest. I think of a bigger foam chamber with a "T" in the front to use as a second handle (add a 1/2" by 6" in the bottom with a lid)... Could it work?
Hello, can I use hidrolavadora? Im not have compresor
Love your video and explanation. Simple, easy and cheap to assemble parts into a more professional looking device. One quick question, what is the min. size compressor you would suggest to use since many user may not (or have room to store) need those big size compressors.
Hi Dave, you do not need a big compressor. Just make sure it has a high (>4) SCFM (Standard Cubic Feet per Minute). You can get one for around $135.
@@ItaiLeshniak was that the fastest it would shoot out foam in the video? Seems like it was very slow to produce foam
Tried it with a different husky hlvp spray gun but didn't work for me. I think he issue is it was not dispensing enough liquid.
Make sure you are not losing pressure from the water tank, the tank needs to be 100% air tight. You may also have too much steel wool, it must be aerated or you will have too much back pressure. Your compressor should be set to low PSI.
Thank you for the good stuff.
Best video out there.
What is the kind of lequied which you use in fooming?
mix one part of Suave Essentials Shampoo Daily Clarifying and 50 parts water by weight you can use a kitchen scale to measure.
Great video thanks..
Enjoy 1000 views
Why not just whisk it with a drill? It faster the splattering that shown here
Looks great but that is nowhere near enough foam if making aircrete. You wanba fill a barrel quickly..
Look in the video description
that gun is on sale for $9.99 all the time :D
Theoretically this works but the amount of foam output is pitiful
but i need 5 gallons of foam
Look at the other video. Linked in the description.
Doesn't the steekwool rust?
Yes it will. You should use Scotch-Brite Stainless Steel Scrubbers. I just didn't have any when I took the video.
You can buy stainless steel wool pads as well, the stainless steel pot scrubbers aren't fine enough to make a nice dense foam IMO
Why not just hook up the mixing tube to a pressure washer
I thought same. Have you tried it?
Foam is mostly air. How can a pressure washer provide that?
Excellent quality foam but tiny quantity, extremely inefficient.
look the the next video (2nd version) ua-cam.com/video/tsBoYSk5Mys/v-deo.html
Thank you, very good improvements!

Way too slow. Needs a lot more volume
Look at my other video
