giod Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 New to the Forum, question. Has anyone ever used this for shell reinforcement rather than string? http://www.uline.com...3g&gclsrc=aw.ds What type of adhesive? Kraft paper outside of it of course. Thought it might save time when making Canister Shells.? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba153 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I've used this stuff on walls, but not on shells. IMO, it'd take multiple pasted layers to even begin to approach the strength of spiking twine. Although I haven't tried it, I don't see that it would be particularly useful.

giod Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah, the more I think about it, twine is all tied together side to side and top to bottom. This would be layers that aren't married to the top or bottom by anything other then glue.. Probably wouldn't create the same strength... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) I know of several people who use fiber reinforced tape to spike cylinder shells. Their results are quite good, but they have their method dialed in well too. You might as well give it a shot. Just make sure to stand back and keeo spectators away while you dial it in. If it does not survive lift, you want to keeo everyone safe from flying bits of your mortar and rack. Edited August 7, 2013 by nater 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LambentPyro Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Kinda looks like paper-mâché, I would think that would be good, don't know if you would get some bad fallout from the charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
