Polymorphic plastic

[foxfish]

Looks like you are having fun mate - great stuff!
I will have to wait until your guns all together before making to many comments but, the handle looks a bit weighty?

 

[scallywag]

Possibly. If it ends up a problem I'll either hollow it out a bit or heat it up and re-shape.

Realised last night that I only used about 225g of polymorph for the handle not 400g as reported. Having a lesson on Friday night on bagging carbon.

just a thought but how would this stuff hold up as a barrel for a gun build, like make a mold and put it in the mold and while still malleable set the shaft, trigger mech, and other small things?

No chance mate, this is not a suitable product for a complete gun barrel.
You could possibly use is as a former & cover the component with fiberglass or carbon but its not really suitable for that either.
It is good for small components that dont require structural strength.

Ok, just a thought. Would it work for an enclosed track?

The best thing to do Chris is to buy some and have a play, doesn't cost much on ebay and provides hours of fun.Then you can make your own mind up about its limitations.
