This specifically goes out to the people who’ve bought this particular foam cannon online, I’ve seen it under several different names such as Raincovo, Tool Daily, Feng Pai, Mekoh, I believe the Bear Force winds up using the same parts too.. Mine happens to be called the Gute.
I only paid $16 and the thing works great. IMO there’s no need to pay $90 or $100+ when you can produce the same foam for less than a fraction of the cost.
The only problem with these foam cannons that use the clear plastic top is they can develop cracks on the screw on top of the foam cannon. Mine developed cracks even without ever being dropped or screwed on too tightly. This is likely why they cost so cheap to buy.
Here’s some pics of the cracks that can develop.
What you want to do is reinforce the top before it breaks into pieces, which some of the negative reviews complain about even if you’re careful with it they seem to eventually start to crack.
The way I’ve done it is using Crazy Glue [liquid not gel] and Baking Soda.
1st you spread the Crazy Glue all across the plastic surface of the lid, then using a spoon drop a layer of Baking Soda on top of the glue while it’s still wet and it’ll form an instant bond almost like cement [blow off the excess baking soda] that’s built to last holding the top in 1 piece preventing it from breaking. I did mine like 8 months ago and it’s still rock solid.
This is what it looks like when it’s done. Notice the 4 cracks being held together by the hardened glue.
JB Weld might be able to do it too, but I’m not sure because I’ve never tried JB Weld.
