Mine floated, and not a drop got in. I had trimmed the top of the cartridge down so that the corrugated folded up part was gone and I had a perfect wall. I'm not sure if the wax will melt in summer, but if you put it in your kit it will be fine. I picked up a nice nickel plated brass match case a few weeks back for a few quid, I saw them cheaper somewhere else but they are pretty good bits of kit. I'll try and find a link.

i also cut off the corregated bit i'm now going to put it in the sink and see if it floats and if its waterproof

There's this one which I have found quite quickly which is also a great price, but I'm not too sure how much postage is aswell. It may be worth ordering one of these only if you decide to get something else from this site.

i have put it in and it floats i will leave it for about 5 minutes and then see if it is still floating, i put a bit of toilet paper in there so if it has absorbed water i no that it leaks

well it didnt leak, it floated for the whole time and when i pushed it to the bottom it floated strait to the top so i am very happy with it, i expect this to last me a long time, now i need to get some more cartridges and make more

Leon,

excellent, can I have one too please (thats 41 )

Spamel, I'll happily send you some empties - but I would hate to set off the sniffer dogs or something horrible sending such a package to BFPO..if you think it would be okay, PM me and I'll put a fe in my pocket next time I go out.

Leon, I've sent my contact details for you to talk to your mum

[leon-b]

Cheers Red, I'm not sure if they would get through though!! I'm not sure what the rules are on shipping used cartridges through the postal system. I'll keep looking over here, a few may turn up sooner or later.

I'm not finding this site where I saw the match case for just a few quid, and I'm getting a bit frustrated! In my youth, my memory wasn't so bad but now......

What was I saying? Oh yeah, match safe, it looks just like this one going on ebay for only a few quid. Be advised, there is one the same going for a few quid more!!

that looks a nice piece of kit there spamel

The one I got was a blatant copy of that design but works a treat. It has a neoprene disc in the lid but I needed to glue it in place as it kept falling out. It is on a lanyard with a metal infantry whistle and they compliment each other quite well!! I paid about five quid including postage, but I found them cheaper elsewhere but didn't bookwark it. I knew I'd regret it!

 

[spamel]

Leon, I just came across this that may interest you for that mug I sent you!

 

[leon-b]

thanks mate although i still havent found that mug
