"Foam spray"
Hi all! Apologies if this was asked elsewhere. But is there any product available in the US/Canada that is akin to the Avalanche foam spray sold by Messy Supplies?
Idk if I just have bad internet searching skills, but I can't seem to find anything available, and that product won't ship outside the UK.
Thanks!

Another fun trick is to put a needle into the nozzle of shaving cream, then use a lighter to melt the nozzle around the needle. Remove the needle after the new shape has set up but not cooled completely. You get a can that can shoot a solid stream much further.

Can confirm that this one works but also just a word of caution: Any time you're talking about melting plastic, do it somewhere well-ventilated. The fumes from doing this are pretty poisonous.
I've been looking into car wash foaming guns that work with an air compressor. Makes a lot of foam, although I wouldn't advise using car cleaning chemicals! I'll try different types of soaps instead. I'm guessing adding some paint pigment to the soap mix would result in coloured foam?

 Love you, too |
I got one of the Snow Foam attachments for my power sprayer. I used a soap designed to make lots of bubbles, and while it did make things foamy, it was awful in the eyes.
So I agree with your plan on not using the car wash soap - not nice in the eyes at all.

LOL, I was planning to use some coloured car foam until I read the ingredients and the warning stickers
A mild shampoo may help eye sting but might not foam as well. I have found the basic chemical recipe for shaving foam. Looks pretty easy and could yield some good results in a snow foamer Quote: A standard recipe contains approximately 8.2 percent stearic acid, 3.7 percent triethanolamine,. 5 percent lanolin, 2 percent glycerin, 6 percent polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate, and 79.6 percent water.
I've been experimenting with trying to colour foam but had little to no success with it. I had a pigment from a paint manufacturer and a couple of drops were supposed to colour a bucket of paint...made no difference to the foam at all...threw in the whole bottle...made no difference!!!
I suspect it is influenced by the density of the foam, as my machine produces quite big bubbles so more transparency, but if anyone has any advice I'm interested to hear it...we use no more tears bubble bath to avoid reactions to it.

I don't think trying that's a good idea. Fire extinguishers are designed to suck the oxygen out of whatever it's sprayed on. It could be dangerous if used for WAM purposes.

Do you use a foam machine in your messy scenes then? Its something I've been wanting to try, and I've been researching what equipment I would need to do it. I imagine foam would have to be quite thick to take on any colourings you add to the mix. I used to mix poster paint into shaving foam and found certain paints would just cause all the foam to dissolve/collapse.

It is possible - somehow! NHP managed it when it gunged Nicola Stapleton. The tank was first filled with coloured, foam-party style bubbles. Also, some car shampoos are coloured, so it's certainly possible. Perhaps a liberal amount of kids poster paint in the foam mix may work, so long as it doesn't work against the soap.

We have a custom built foam machine as it had to run off a 12v car battery...basically blows air through the bubble mix, which causes it to bubble up and then spill out of the outlet in the tank.
