MrsC Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I am sure that this has probably been discussed before but I am in need of some splurge here in New Zealand. We are doing a school production of Bugsy Malone and I am having a great deal of trouble trying to source cans of splurge/avalanche foam/blizzard foam. Has anyone ever made it themselves? Could a gun be made that had a bike pump somehow attatched? I can purchase cheap silly string guns here in New Zealand but I think that Splurge/Cream Guns would be far more effective. Anyway I would appreciate any help at all on this subject. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossmck Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 There's load of threads about making the guns in various ways but the best method is usually Avalanche Spray... I found one of the manufacturers of the Avalanche Spray however they had stopped production due to a shortage of one of the raw materials but you could try contacting them directly; IMP Chemicals Limited (01204 793422) I also have an MSDS for the last version of the product - which includes a few warnings that may make it unsuitable for use as 'splurge' ; "R36 Irritating to Eyes", "R37 Irritating to respiratory system", "R38 Irritating to eyes and skin", "R52/53 Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effect in the aquatic environment" Obviously IMP Chemicals are a bit far away from New Zealand but maybe they can point you in the direction of an importer, or similar product ?

ramdram Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Mrsc, just a thought for you to kick around apropos the H&S angle on the el cheapo silly string...is it non flammable, both gunky stuff and propellant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
