Hehe it's the only hvbrid I have working at the moment

[Petitlu]

Et un peu le ThorJack aussi !

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

hehehe, I'm spudding by proxy

[Petitlu]

I will try to make a mold of a spoiler delrin that thou hast made​​.
I can then pour it hot glue for example

Shakespeare translator again

I can then pour it hot glue for example

Hot glue will not be strong enough... maybe a brass mould for lead, along the lines of this one but for a dart shape?

[Petitlu]

replace the delrin glue on a concrete example nail dart

or a mold with the shape of your APFSDS where I can put a tungsten rod ...

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Epoxy resin would be a better idea if you have access to some I can quite easily mill a fin mould that will fit a nail or the tungsten.

[Petitlu]

It would be such a great mold

I have much of epoxy because I'm stratification carbon and kevlar for my water rockets

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Excellent I'll see what I can cook up. Remind the exact diameters of your nails? (both smooth part and ridged part)

Also do you have access to 12mm rod to cut pusher plates out of, or do you need moulds for these as well?

[Petitlu]

For the pusher plate I can use plastic rods or rubber roller for valves.
it is certain that mold would be more accurate

dimensions of nails:
Smooth diameter: 3.4mm
Striated diameter: 3.5mm

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Hmmm, for synthetics I could actually make the mould out of delrin. I might give it a go today if I get home at a reasonable hour.

[Petitlu]

Great!
thank you!

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Damn, pure tungsten is *really* brittle - this happened when I dropped it on the floor!

[Petitlu]

this is glass!
I'll keep using carbide ...
The fin brass looks good!

This afternoon I fire!
I prepared new projectiles

[jackssmirkingrevenge]

Interesting! So you've added a copper sheath for the tungsten? That first one, what is it exactly?

I made a brass dart for the broken half of the tungsten, at 17x it made a brass lined hole exactly half way through the plate, 1/8".
