Coincidentally I was just thinking of a good, cheap, easy way to weight the tips of some skewers. Thanks! :bowdown:
Superglue/Baking Soda Blowgun Darts
Hello SlingshotForum friends!!
On the subject of blowgun bamboo darts, I recall in one of my threads someone (I can't remember the member's name) spoke about superglue mixed with baking soda, for hardening the tip of bamboo darts.
I tried this week with some of my Cold Steel bamboo darts and it worked like a charm! The mix is indeed very simple and fast to make and it's cheap, above all.
Nevertheless, it doesn't bring much of an upgrade to standard bamboo darts. Perhaps one of the advantages is the fact that darts fly straighter and with a bit more of power. Still studying this
I've recorded a video about it, among other blowgun shenanigans!!
Hope you like it!!

Thank you SO MUCH for your feedback!!!
Yes, the everlasting question for the blowgunner: how to enhance the performance of the bamboo dart
Of course, this still is (and will be) in evolution.

Those look like very effective spearhead points. I'll certainly have to give it a try to something similar.

Yes, I would imagine so. Since they're made of tempered steel, they're not so easy to cut with household tools.they are good but need a tang to wrap it tight into 5he bambooThank you SO MUCH for your feedback!!!
