What's a Solie mask?
I misspelled it. I use the silicone one, I glue a 1/8 '' thick wet suit foam wrap a round visor to the plastic frame
to keep out light. You don't want one Dan... you'll look like your diving on Magnum PI.:@

What's a Solie mask?
They were sold by Scuba Pro and came from Italy, I'm wearing one in my avatar.

Wow, you'r cool
Thanks Dan ! Let me know if you need anything from Cali.
Cheers, Don -
Dan just tell be the price I don't mind buying and covering the shipping costs.

I do it on long deep dives if I get tight and still have 30' to the sunshine. It always made me feel more comfortable moving the air in the mask a little. It's one of the reason I bought 4 Solie masks.

Wellcome Springbok,

Way to go Harry, even without a cold.

Good point. It certainly could have been the crimp.
Jeff I had the same issue in a closed track nylon muzzle I fab'ed in 82 , that I ran a wing tab'ed shaft
threw. I believe the shaft/swage caused the damage and not the metal wishbones.
The first two test mules I made I blew off the end of my gun.:@
That's why testing can be so fun.
I'm going out now to test my old bones and mountain bike now.
Cheers, Don -
We use that for its original intended purpose
All that's getting too complicated for me. I think I'll just fill it and see what happens.
Just a guess ... I hate to do math at home while I'm drinking. I would find a boat yard and buy some 4 lb
poly 2 part foam and take out a plug.This is what my friends and I use.

Ha, there are no friends here with tire weights. Every tire shop I went to is already collecting the scrap weights for someone that pays them. What's Hawaiian tropic?
What do you guys use down there?
-
The barrel is too bouyant and the gun floats with the shaft in. I can only add ballast in the front and back ahead of the plugs. I don't like how the gun feels like that, I want the weight balanced through the length of the gun.
That makes perfect sense, you can pay a visit to a tire guy friend and get a handful of stick on wheel weights.
Wash all that Hawaiian Tropic off the barrel with alcohol and trim it the way you want in a salt H20 pool.
Then you can calculate your foam wt.

Don, it's plugged.
What is your reason for the Syntactic? I'm just guessing that you want to buffer some gun noise
and still have the barrel float ?
Don -
Jeff, I need to know for sure whether it will float this gun without the shaft. How can I figure it out beforehand?
Not trying to respond to Jeff's question but, Is the CF barrel plugged or wet?
