Great work Lotus! The cobwebs look suprisingly real, like they've been there for ages. Now, when are you gonna start selling them? ;)

Thanks Lotus. I'll stop by Micheal's. Looks like you just zip-tied the airline vs opening up the case. Is that correct?

Now I can't wait to try the contact cement web spinner we have. Lotus, we'll have to do some serious side by side web spinning, and see which is more cost effective.

I believe the can (Qt.) of contact cement we just bought was $5. When it actually comes down to using the two methods this year, we'll have to keep in touch and try to roughly figure out which method is more effective. How much are the glue sticks for that size gun?

I have found 10" long stick pack of 10 $1.58
5" long glue stick 45 sticks $9.85 but they are GITD

where are you getting your GITD sticks? BTW after seeing your webs you have inspired me to add this to my projects list.

Lotus,

I got the 80 watt glue gun from Michaels yesterday.:D

What size copper tubing did you use? I've seen some designs that used 3/16" and others used 1/4".
Lotus

I used 1/4 copper tubing, with one 1/4" x 1/4" tube to female pipe coupling with insert, if you go to home depot it is Pink A-16 and you will need to buy a 1/4" tube to tube straight valve w/insert Pink A-42 and one quick connect. The only thing is you will need to buy 10 feet of copper wiring, if you don't want to buy that i can mail you 12 " of copper
