Silicone Dart Test

These are some test darts made along the lines of shmmee's oogoo darts and KaneTheMediocre's Vans. I took my pool noodle blanks and created a cavity inside with a makeshift add-on to my hotglue gun. Then I pumped in some Dap brand silicone and shaped up the heads.


Here's my janky makeshift tool. I'll have to streamline this soon.

      I range tested the few that were cured today and got promising results. They are surprisingly heavy! They seem like they'll hurt alot less too!

      With tweaks to weight and design I think these should be on par with my regular darts. I just need real foam!

    Pool noodle blanks? That sounds interesting. Do you think you could do a tutorial on those?

      I did a short write-up om these a while back. I have a few new things going with them though.

      Lately I've been straightening/sizing them a bit different with heat. I'll post about that when I get it down pat.
