Pour water in bag of paint ??

[Skoad]

we stuck a cup of water in a bag and let it sit for 2 days. It actually helped it, and instead of being 0 bounce paint it was up to about 5.

A few of the balls got stuck to each other though, so as an afterthought it might have helped if we tumbled the balls after each day or mixed them up.

I've done the same w/ some bags of lousy paint . Except we found that if you tumble/ jumble the balls after 6 hours then let it sit for another 6, they wont stick to each other as bad if at all . Plus it took less time to get the same results.

here is what your supposed to do...


Step 1: Pour 1 cup of streaming hot water per 250 balls. (2 cups total for a bag of 500)
Step 2: Shake bag vigourously for 10 minutes.




HAHAHA that should loosen em right up! :rofl:

According to GAP follow the link and see what they say, generally, 2 table spoons is what I believe they recommned.

Bread keeps chocolate chip cookies moist and supple, so...

to sum up...intoduciing moisture in some way to the paint will make it less brittle...
there are probably several ways to do this...some better than others...

how about leave a bag of paint open in a closet with a humidifier...
never tried it...but it could work, i think light steam would be easier on the paint than pouring water on it...
and it might be faster than the cup of water in the bag trick

i've heard of leaving cut fruit(lemons, limes, apples or oranges) in the same bag as uh... some illegal substances ... moistens them up(not condoning the use of illegal substances btw)
might work with paintballs also...
and you could have lemon scented paint

not only hav ei heard of htat but i have done it in my younger days not anymore though and it works the great thing abou tit is that you can choose your scent jsut pick from any number of fruits but if you are goign to use oranges or the such us ethe peels not the actualy orange

I just got my hands wet, ran them through the bags of paint, made it slightly less brittle, I need to do it moreso.

I have around 3000 rounds I need to do this to, this paint is 0 bounce paint

I want it like 3-4 bounce paint.

It definately works though, I have some zero-bounce paint at about 2 feet up that I might try to revive (This paint is so brittle the weight of other paint on top of it breaks it. Not kidding.)
