Hot Glue Candelabra Prop

VanOaksProps walks through the construction of a gothic candelabra prop built primarily from PVC pipe fittings, with hot glue serving as both a structural adhesive and a creative texturing agent to disguise the underlying framework. The real challenge — and the heart of the build — was finding an elegant way to conceal the pipe joints and make the piece read as a convincing ornate candelabra. Silicone molds, a Leviton lamp holder for functional candle sockets, and a multi-step paint finish using rubberized undercoat, Rub n Buff, and acrylic patina bring the prop to a polished, aged-metal look. The video is sponsored by Surebonder, whose tools are featured throughout the build.
