nelson paint ..the paint that wont break

[p8ntball72]

i picked up a fresh case of nel splat paint for this weekends game,get to the field ,load up ,and played all day with no breaks. sounds great right..WRONG
this paint wont break on anything.
so when i got home i started testing.
i have a 4x8 sheet of plywood in my backyard that i shoot from time to time. so i load up the timmy and chrono it to 290 and shoot away..this stuff was bouncing off at 25 feet.
the next test was the pliers, pinching the balls to see how hard they were.{man these things are tough}


any ideas what i can do with this stuff?

wow and the paint im using break when i drop it from my knee. No wonder everyone elses level 10 works so well

It's not all Nelson paint, I've had pretty good luck with Anarchy. Other than it stains my jersies.

That stuff you got is crazy.

wow, thats funny, and it sux at the same time, i dunno, leave it in an open bag for a while and see what happens, i dunno.

You can use it to practice with? As in put up targets and a catch bin... Or use it JUST when cronoing, then switch to "game" paint.

How about take it back? I mean come on - if you can't break paint with a pair of plyers then it is defective.
If the store won't tke it back call Nelson and let them know this is now an online issue and give them the opportunity to "make it right."

A picture is worth a thousand words - try emailing that photo to them.

thats almost like the stuff you leave out in the rain after it swells up and gets all rubbery.

I saw some Nelson, I am pretty sure that it was the lowest grade cheapest stuff, and it looked like it was pretty good, major seam though, and we did a droptest on a few and they broke down the seam on the first drop

lol thats insane
I always have the opposite problem, the paint is so ridiculously brittle

[athomas]

I've had Zap paint that was almost that bad. "ALMOST!" He he.

Try putting it in the freezer to make it more brittle. As for using it only when chronoing, thats a bad idea, your game paint can be a different bore and your velocity would not be the same. Could be a safety issue. Personally, i've always had that problem with Nel-Splat. The next grade higher, Premium, is much better. I hadly ever had problems with it. The Anarchy is just awesome too.

[aaron_mag]

I've used anarchy and the cheap nelson brand. Anarchy worked great. Didn't like the seam with the cheap nelson stuff and it kept breaking in the barrel.

You got a really bad batch. Normally it isn't that bad. And by the way I used my level 10 with PMI Premium last time on a cold wintery day. Not one break!

So don't diss my level 10!

[nerobro]

there is a fix.... Buy dessicant packs. the resuable kind. And place them in the bag with the paint. within an hour or two enough moisture will be removed to make the paint brittle. DO NOT lay the packet on the paint, wrap it in paper towels or else it will destroy the paint it lays on.

And.. next time you'll have good paint ;-)

You could allways sell it to a poor person for cheap
