nicks_tr34 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Taken all the old wadding out of my middle box and re-opened the perforated holes in the inner pipe (they were all coked up - essentially making it a straight through!!) anyway, my question is this:- When I get the new wadding, how densely do I shove it in?? To my mind if I do it too dense, then the cases/sound won't penetrate into it. My concern is the stuff that came out seemed quite densely wedged in ... perhaps that is just where it was all stuck together coz of the 2stroke/coke? Is there any advantage to just putting it in like you would say hamster bedding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 pack it in.. dont use a drift to squeeze every last bit in but it should be firm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicks_tr34 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 pack it in.. dont use a drift to squeeze every last bit in but it should be firm Its done now ... I shoved it in as hard as I could by finger ... its a mid-box I was doing, therefore I had to access it by cutting a hole in the side. I have re-sealed it with a riveted plate - I also slapped lots of gasket silicon around the join to try and seal it ... once it has all dried off I can see if it has been a success!! Thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
