For those of you who are thinking of making your own "Quiet Pellet Trap", I just received 12 bricks of duct seal from hardwareworld.com. They are $1.38 each. Shipping was $9.20, so it comes out to just over $2 per brick. Loews and Home " Despot" both charge over $3 per brick plus tax, and I didn't have to drive 20 miles round trip to get it. The item# is RNHCR3. Each brick is 1 lb. and measures 1"x2"x61/2".

I just went to the site and there is only 3 left in stock...arrrrrg(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-yell.gif)
-
There were only three left when I ordered too.........Said they'll ship when they get more in..............I wonder if more airgunners buy this stuff than electricians ??????
-
Here’s a place that has 5 lb bars for 9.99, not as good of a deal, but bigger bars. Mclendon Hardware. Not sure about shipping cost!

I'm thinkin' that my trap is going to accomodate 8.5x11 inch card stock, so I can print my own targets as I need them. What thickness should the ductseal be inside the trap. I imagine 1 inch is not thick enough, but I don't want to get carried away............
-
I use 2" thick in mine.
-
Hmmmm........I wonder if I should have ordered more than 14 bricks ???? Gonna be close !! Thanks for the info......
-
you can always add a steel plate in the back for added safety.
-
That might be a good idea........just don't want to start adding too much weight to the trap...........have to bring in a forktruck to move it around the yard........
-
Now almost 3 weeks, and they're still on backorder.........might cancel & go to Home Depot or Lowes.........don't want to....but....
-
(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif)Same here, Raoul, been waiting three weeks, they told me via email it would take three weeks before it came in. I think we bought all they had..,LOL
I plan to hold tight and wait....but itsw tough picking those pellets out one at a time......Bill(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)
-
You were lucky, Bill, I didn't get any email. Guess I'll wait a little longer..........I hate waiting, though !!!!
-
(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif)Raoul I just emailed them for a update, can not wait any longer I have more pellets in my trap than duct seal....LOL LOL....Bill(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)
-
I feel for ya, Bill. This is my first trap, so I don't have any duct seal at all.(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cry.gif)I emailed them yesterday, and they answered back that it might be 2-3 weeks before they get any in. I got a tree in my side yard that's almost cut in half from lead. (http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-surprised.gif)I told them to keep the order as it is...........just have to wait, I guess.
-
I get my duct seal at my local depot for 2 bucks each and it's only a couple of blocks from my house howie
-
Here is my quiet pellet trap and they are loaded with duct seal. Very use full and were made by Timmy for me.
-
Nice Traps, Gene. I really like that small one, think I'll make one. Should be able to find a cheap supply of playing cards at the "Dollar Store"(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-money-mouth.gif)Is it made of 1x PT ???
-
Timmy makes them. At least he did make them for a while. He has all the details on the build and materials used. They work great.
