138cgj Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Tackle box in kent, its the only place ive seen them mate. Ive tried to make do with one from machine mart and it was a disasterous waste of money. They are about 90 for the smallest size and up to about 200 for the larger capacity model.

The thing is when your using glue or silicone etc it already comes in its own tube, its then just placed in the chamber and the air pushes the bottom of the cartridge as it has a built in plunger. There is no plunger in the glue/silicone guns you refer to so its no good, it doesnt push the paste down, it just spits it all over in pieces.

A light spray of vegetable oil on to your boilie table also helps. Cheers.  Happy bait making.  Nails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamedos Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 does anyone know where i can get an air gun from....... Â Draper do an air gun that will fulfill your requirements, but it doesn't hold a great amount of mix. (type air caulking gun into your search engine) Â Altenatively, if you know of a decent Bodyshop (car repair), you could do worse as to go into the garage and ask the service manager where they purchase their air guns from. (the cylinders are longer) Â Â llamedos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It simply relied on the hard base of the silicone/mastic/glue etc cartridge to push out the materials with the compressed air. The one you show is practically identical to the gardner deluxe model which i have, they are definately worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a hard base/plunger to push the paste evenly and consistently otherwise the pressure (even if you adjust it on the compressor) will 'spit' and the sausages come out ok at first but then all of a sudden half way through it will spit and blow paste everywhere!!!  Believe me ive tried it!!!

The handle style one I have can push a sausage out in 6 secs....so a couple of kilo dos,nt take all that long. Less than a minute and a half for this lot. Obviuosly rolling takes alot longer.

Invest in a proper designated one from Kents Tackle box mate, i will be.  Is it the gun that is at fault, or could it possibly be the mix and the way in which the applicator is being used/loaded.  I accept that there are the guns from the likes of Kent tackle that can be purchased and does what it says on the tin, so to speak, but paying between £100 and £300 for an air gun is not always an option for many anglers (unless it's Realtree, of course ), whereas, 'thinking outside the box' is a commodity that is free for all. Challenges, although they can be thought provoking and somewhat daunting at first (just like moving up from a duck pond to a 150 acre lake to flop a line in) can be overcome with perseverance and common sence (not to be misconstrued as an inference). The air gun that I use still works for making boilies as good today as it did when purchased over 20 years ago (although it wasn't specifically purchased to make sausages at the time), and believe me; I'm certainly no Einstein.  Have a goodun  llamedos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
