Yep. I dislike hot glue, because if you leave your props in a closed car in summer, they can fall apart from the heat. I like the motto, “If you can screw it, do it!”, but when it comes to foam, glue is one of the few options you have available. ---

This is SUPER impressive for, what, $20? I’ve spent over $150 and all I have is a super-heavy, kinda ugly, clunker of a wooden pack. ---

LOL, I am sure yours great, and thank you for the compliments. I wasn’t sure how well it would work out, but now that I have it painted and have started sticking labels on I am really happy with it. Do you have a link to yopur build? I would love to see it. ---

Foam goggles too? I love these! I’ll bet you could cobble him up a foam radio easily as well. If you can figure out a way to attach it to the foam, the c clamps for the [ribbon cable](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/ribbon-cable) are readily available at lowes and home depot in the electrical sections, and are cheap. What did you use for thrower grips? ---

Hopefully working on a mini radio this week, As for the grips I got them at Homehardware they cost $5.49 and are basic rubber bicycle grips. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/1X/397d6ee216d0b09928814ccc829c7f2fdbd8f20e.gif) I just cut them in half and used the grip part. They actualy worked out pretty well. As for the C clamps thanks for the advie I am heading to the city this week so maybe be abl to pick some up. ---

looks similar to mine! excellent job! whats your total cost? i’m curious. i havnt added lights to my gun yet, but was thinking the LED’s from target liek i used for my pack itself. Think total cost was about 15 bucks for the whole thing. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/a/a/aaebbc9f1167980c158aa818ced5fff926d6fa63.jpeg) ---

Just finished my sons smaller trap. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/1X/397d6ee216d0b09928814ccc829c7f2fdbd8f20e.gif) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/1X/397d6ee216d0b09928814ccc829c7f2fdbd8f20e.gif) So I found time to tun my sons trap into the opening of his treat bag. Simple but the look on his face when I showed him was priceless. He had so much letting everyone drop his treats into his candy trap. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/1X/397d6ee216d0b09928814ccc829c7f2fdbd8f20e.gif) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/1X/397d6ee216d0b09928814ccc829c7f2fdbd8f20e.gif) I also added a bit more to my thrower yesterday. Clip from bike lights ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/1X/397d6ee216d0b09928814ccc829c7f2fdbd8f20e.gif) Sprayed silver and fixed onto thrower not accurate but better then nothing and it only took 2 minutes to do. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/1X/397d6ee216d0b09928814ccc829c7f2fdbd8f20e.gif) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/1X/397d6ee216d0b09928814ccc829c7f2fdbd8f20e.gif) Local paper and CBC radio did a story on me last year and in the interviews I they asked me what I had planned next, I told them I would like to work on a GB costumes, well the local paper did an update on me and put it in yesterdays paper just in time for Halloween. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/1X/397d6ee216d0b09928814ccc829c7f2fdbd8f20e.gif) ---
