Welcome to the forum.
from what i was told from the seller, you cut the piece to fit in the hole, with a lighter, singe 1st one side, then the other, to make stay. .How do you successfully install each rod of Hi-Vis material into the sight picture accessory? Not sure of the technique used for best success and durability?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

WOW. Pure genius!
I was headed into the area of brute strength and squeezing it in with a pair of small needle nosed pliers. Wondering if a heat gun would provide the same result? Thinking about my abilities with a lighter and the possible resultant pile of burned/singed pile of plastic I'd have left, at least until I refined my techniques? Conan the agrarian strikes again! Snagging the wife's high speed hair dryer might be less risky, maybe? And just in case, plan B? Where would I access more hi-vis material, given my current level of experience in dealing with things almost out of focus for my bifocals?
Appreciate the patience and support in advance.
Okay! Thank you. That's what I'll try first. Appreciate the tips. Love this forum. Out of darkness and into the light I shall go!Rjlund, i'd just kiss it with the flame. But i would say a kiss from a heat gun same same
Now we're talking. I have those tools, but was concerned about the possibility of burning the ends with too much heat? That might render the ends singed. And thus not able to allow light to be transferred into and illuminate. Not sure of the setting for best results. Just about ready to take a leap of faith and give it it a whirl. Feel much better having more tools in the box to deal with it all.I like you style RJ !
Welcome to the forum. Don't suppose that you have a soldering gun? How about a wood burner?
Have you shown your wife the forum? It sounds like you have a lot of fun times ahead of you.I was on a roll and so excited I had to complete both elements of the sight picture.
Not sure which hand/eye combination will work best? Practice, practice, practice.
There's plenty of interest by the wife as well. Now she would like to try a slingshot herself. We have some pesky wild rabbits getting into her flower bed, some grey squirrels that have worn out there welcome, a few bunny rabbits in the garden and a new badger that just showed up. Someone's going pay the price for eating her flowers...
I'm thinking of stir fry recipes, she's more in a harassing rodents mind set!
Then comes her request for building some slingshots for the grandkids!
This is going to be great fun! Love exploring the forum and all the nifty ideas for slingshot builds..
