Halloween is this month, and for those of you who like to render your houses haunted, cobwebs are great visual shorthand. It would be handy to have a way to quickly apply them, and to be able to easily remove them come November 1st. Well, help is here in the form of the Webcaster Gun:

In all the countless hours of manipulating a hot glue gun in ID school, I never once thought of blowing compressed air through it nor what the resultant discharge would resemble. And that is why I am a design blogger instead of a successful entrepreneur who sells $38 "Webcaster Gun Cobwebbing Systems."

That $38 is for the compressed-air version. The version that runs off of a shop-vac—which I can't see providing the same oomph—goes for $29.

I'm thinking these could be made relatively easy with a 3D-printer and parts from an existing glue gun; you print up the two halves to include a channel for the air, then pick up a valve at the big-box. But admittedly I don't know what the heating mechanism looks like inside these things; nor how it has to be supported; nor how to incorporate the pressure-modulating dial. Ah, where's our tear-down guy when we need him?
