Sparx88 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 I'm not finding very many options out there. One place has high price with 1/4" holes in them, others are cheaper but have size issues. I have 2" hdpe tubes. Thats 2" ID. So I need paper ball shells that are 1.75 OD with no holes. I use visco and like nice tight holes so I use an awl to make my own hole:) I admit it's been almost 2 years since I last bought any so would someone have some leads as to where I can get these like that?

jaysgoh Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 anyone know how to make 2 inch hemispheres ? i got 3 thick cardboard tube , some people said they use ping pong balls as the mold , is that suitbale ?
Shizznt Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 When you buy the shells, don't buy the ones that are lower in size. Buy the ones that say 2" because the 2" shells are actually a bit smaller. If you buy a 1.75" it would actually be 1.5". 2" shell would be 1-13/16". They make them that way so they will be close to 2" when your done pasting. I buy my shells from cannon fuse.com and they come without holes, but I don't buy 2" shell so I wouldn't know about those.
schroedinger Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 For a 2" shell you will need a mould that is 1.5 - 1.75 in diameter. I'm not sure if a ping pong ball is that big, but I'm pretty sure it is smaller. Maybe you should look into the vacum forming method for size size of shells.
