Thanks mate - but am just tying it traditionally (2mm dyneema loops and bridle and 1.5mm constrictors).

Made a scraper out of stainless today and scraped the first coat of epoxy on the gun. Then when it was smooth I put on another thin coat (12ml of resin). I guess it will take a week to cure fully and then I will add a small piece of stainless on the nose to hold the line; add the trigger pins; add the rubber and head for the sea.

I am guessing that it will be absolutely perfectly balanced but in the extremely unlikely event that it needs an ounce of lead on the nose I will be using monsieur Memo's advise. (So nearly finished... oooh need some stainless bolts from Dave's shed too...)
