No, not seamless. I guess through some manufacturing process they ground down the seam. Good pointer about the spec, didn't ask about that.

What kind of epoxy did you use?
Araldite.
I have one of those computer dusters for my microscope, hopefully this wont use a lot of it up as I just bought it and they're about $30 over here (residue free, though)
when you heat araldite it goes white and becomes malleable.

True, I did forget to take in to account your recent projects.
Can I just take this joke back? More hassle than it was worth

If it means not getting sodomized by long range projectiles, sure

Grind, surely
Right you are...
Didn't grind any more because the masonry disk has had it so I got impatient and assembled the cannon.
New barrel pushed the weight up to 17kgs, which is fúck all when contained on a dumbbell for example, but spread out over 2.3m it's barely hip-fireable (new word) without my Steyr sling.

Looking good MrC.

Yeah, it's entirely hyperbole and half-truths. So what? SUBSCRIBE I TELL YOU!
BTW, I'm sick of using the same old video clips as well

What do people on YouTube know anyway?
There's probably someone with a homemade black powder cannon out there who decides to shoulder fire it to see if he can dislocate his shoulder
