Seeing that im new to all this i was hoping some one could give me a run down on how to make an enclosed track. All my west systems products just came in and i almost have all my supplies for my gun build so i will be slapping my lams together soon. Ive been doing my research on it but i just want to ensure i have it down. Thanks

Any updates on the build? Let's see pics.

Not yet, ive been slacking haha. I about to cut the boards now so they will be ready when the epoxy arrives. Ive read that i should let the strips hang to make sure there is no warping in the wood after you cut it. Is this a good idea?

Thanks. Any other recommendations for using sapele?

Last question, what do you all think is the best band size for this 36 incher?

Wow guys thanks for all the help! And yes dan ive been planing on coming out there just haven't had a chance too. Ive been doing my research on building a gun for about a month now an i see you guys have some good stuff for a good price.

So i will be building two 36 in spearguns out of sapele wood soon and was looking for some advice. For instance what is the best track to use? I was planning to use a 9/32 shaft and either a nile tech or neptonics trigger mechanism.:confused1:
Difference between polyurethane and epoxy and which is best for gun building?
titebond glue or epoxy for lams?
Can i stain or use oil before sealing in epoxy?
Best band size for a 36 in gun?
I have enough wood to make two guns, but some pointers from people with experience would be helpful before i invest time and money into it lol
Thanks!

Hello, im just getting into freediving and spearfishing here in sunny south fl. Going to build a small 36 inch speargun for the first time out of some sapele wood, looking for some advice and tips.
