Missouriflies 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2012 After hearing and seeing some of the canned air dubbing mixer thingies I had to customize for productivity. I used to use a coffee grinder to turn yarn into dubbing, no longer. Meet Cotton Candy 1.0. One giant crouton container, a grinder with a cut wheel, some silicone, some old underwear, and an air compressor...Im one happy camper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Missouriflies 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2012 what is the point of the special container? it allows you to blast a high pressure air stream into the container without building excessive pressure or shooting dubbing out all over the place..and to do large loads.

Video is now posted at the bottom of the original post -its all pretty cheap except the compressor. -it strikes me you are almost equating drugs with other good things, why even mention drugs in kids programs (it's ok..., I'm just contemplating the ramifications of such slogans) hope it helps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
