    Potentially handy material

    For those of you who do not have a lathe and punch CO2 seals out of various materials, I found this at the weekend. A deluxe sink mat by Addis, consisting of 300 discs which are the size of a 20p. They are just over 2mm in thickness which is ideal for a lot of capsule seals. The material has a good Shore hardness and seems similar to polyurethane, and may well be that material. I am just conducting a test punching a few different sizes out to see how it reacts to CO2. At £2.49 it is a bargain for doing repairs.

    Very interested to know if it works as I need a bulb seal for a old Gamo pistol and don’t want to pay the postage for one seal!
