Spinnaret Gun

Can't find a glazier? No problem.

A broken window, especially after a storm or a breakin, can be a major security risk, until a glazier can be located.

Using technology similar to the spinnarets on web-building spiders, the Spinnaret Gun allows the user to stitch across the opening with fast-drying epoxy, to put a secure instant window in place.

Once there is a good, strong mesh in place, a switch of setting allows you to spray the epoxy, to fill in gaps for weatherproofing.

       Sounds about right.

       At last, a practical use for silly string.

       I like it. It would be better than wooden boards.

       Motorised caulking gun?

       I must admit never having considered either glue or duct tape to be valid materials from which to make windowpanes.

       Not much good in the rain, though.

       You could try this with one of the drill mounted fake web spinners that special effects people use. I suggest disposable coveralls for the first few tests to avoid becoming a window box.
