    I’ve been to the transworld show in St. Louis and have wanted to meet you but I always figure I’d leave you be because I know how hectic those events can feel. You’ve really inspired me to bring some new details to the haunt I work for in Iowa. Your videos and creativity in the industry are amazing.

    Amazing use of peat moss! Another one of your wonderful "affordable" hardware store solutions. If you had purchased a bag that big of scenic flocking from a craft supply it would have cost 10 times more money.

    Is there anything you cant make with locktite foam? 🤣
    Just an idea. If you look for either a local or online graffiti/art supplies store, get yourself some fat caps for your spray paints. Youll get broader and faster coverage, probably a more even spray too. I only say this because I notice you pull the can back to get more coverage but it doesn't seem to cover much with the cap that comes with it. This is usually the case with non "art" type sprays. Also I find putting my cans in some warm (not hot) water for a few minutes before painting helps a lot with the flow too. Being able to cover a lot quickly adds up in a lot of saved time long term.
    New york fat caps are usually what i'd recommend as a good all rounder. If some of your cans are male and not female uprok make adapters too.
    You can use them for years if you keep them clean. At only a few cents a pop it's worth investing in.

    Thanks to you making me by lots of Loctite, the ORANGE store raised the price by over a dollar, thanks. Its June and i just had cornea transplant and once doctor takes the stitches out i am making roots to cover my house door, 12 foot high and all around it, i'm thinking in sections so hot do i glue this stuff to itself. The small roots from last year were ok, but i'm doing it up, 2 cases of Loctite. So when i go oer budget i have referred my mean wife of 24 years to you, good luck.

    I see you make so many awesome things with the loctite expanding foam and I would love to make things with it too but just one of those tins/cans cost over $64 here in the UK.
    And I have tried a lot of different expanding foams but none seem to be as good/durable as your loctite.
    Best wishes 👍

      its not, it gets hard and a bit brittle like other spray foams- the window and door has a modicum of flexibility but not much. they are durable if they dont have to flex though.
