Ive made a piston by chopping up hot glue sticks into little pieces and put into a piece of spare copper tube, (chamber size) then heated the whole thing up with my blowtorch :twisted: untill it all melted now i cant get it out of the tube, its glued in like glue (as it is)
how does every one els take them out without cutting the tube
i might go heat it up a little so the outside melts a but then push it out but any help greatly appreciated
