Paint testing tip not working for me
I just tried out this neat tip that Tom posted in his tech tips area
http://www.automags.org/resource/tec..._testing.shtml about six months ago (what happened Tom? Why'd you stop!) but it didn't work for me. I tried it with a 2 week old case of diablo nightmare yellow/pink + white fills, and the things wouldn't break. The stuff breaks fine on targets, maybe a *little* too bouncy, but it isn't messed up in any way (I've kept it stored well, in about 90 degrees temperature and average humidity because it was a bit small for my barrel and I wanted it to swell). Anyway I held it up to six feet (actually probably 6' 6" because thats how far I can reach), and I got up to 15 bounces before I stopped. I did it on a smooth, hard concrete surface. Whats up wit dat?
P.S. you made a reference to "dry paints" in your article. What are these new dry paints, and how are they formed? Oh yea, and could someone elaborate a bit more on how gelatin paintballs are formed, I didn't get a mental picture from his article.
