Paint paddle can replace the tape |
Good point sjog, I once tried Inconel pikes but after the first shot he rolled and tore a wicked hole. didn't even bend the pike. Went back to soft stainless (annealed) and mild steel. And instead of paint sticks I use a piece of tire about 1"x6" taped at the ends.
