Visual special effects techniques with a glue gun and make incredible spider webs for theatre, film making and Halloween themed events.
You can apply the glue in many forms to create the web effect. Swirl the glue in cold water (my favourite) and create an almost infinity array of designs and patterns. Bead the glue into cold water, bead the glue along fishing line and let it drip or bead the glue onto a Tec (silicone) mat.
Create “spooky” webs which look realistic, instantly
To swirl the glue all you need is a Tec 6300 or Tec 7300 glue gun, Tecbond 232-43 hot melt adhesive, lots of imagination and a spider ! You can adjust the spray pattern by adjusting the air control screw, the air pressure or a combination of both. There are also option nozzles from Narrow to Wide swirl patterns to give you even more variety.
