awesome looking trap.....whats it made out of?
The clear tube was a pain in the rear. Basically I cut the tip off of the gun, just before it goes into the bigger part of the tip that sticks out of the gun. I then masked off the inside parts of that and the LED and opened the gun to paint that part silver. When the paint dried, I got my rotary hand tool and slightly bored out the inside of the plastic from the area that was masked off, making sure that I didn't touch the LED bulb that's in there. I just needed just a little more room to get my clear tube in. I didn't want any kind of flexible tubing for my gun tip so I ended up searching craft and hobby stores that were in town and finally I ran across this.

It took a bit to get the ring with the banjo tip off of the original tip that was cut off. For that you have to basically cut off both side of the white plastic on both sides of the tip, then use a rotatory tool with a little sanding wheel on it and bore out the plastic from the inside of the ring. I ended up hitting that with a little silver paint too. It actually has a slightly snug fit on the glitter tube and since it was attached with the red wire, there really was no need for gluing it in place.
As for the ghost trap, it is 1/4" plywood, some dowels, electrical tap, and the trap plates are some cut fiberglass panels that were painted silver. I am just waiting for my 3D printed Heatsink, resistor, and knobs to get here so that I can complete it. I never did make the pedal but I still mounted this to my belt when I went out for halloween and people were impressed
