Repairing 3D targets

#1 Post by matt61 » Sat Apr 13, 2019 8:34 am

Hi All
After advice on repairing shot out 3D targets and what did you do to repair them.
Buy a repair kit or make up your own goo and what you used to make it and how well did it work.
Thanks
Matt

I've repaired quite a few of our 3D targets for our club using 2nd hand boogie boards purchased from op shops etc., then cut to shape to fit the damaged sections and sikaflex to use as an adhesive ,working well so far , cheers kerry

Hi Matt

I have never used any of these, but just did a quick search on google. There seems to be a few people out there supplying 3D target repair kits.

Here are a couple of links to give you an idea

Hi Matt

I have found pool noodles work well. Cut a hole in the target push the noodle through then drill holes through the target into the noodle and pump expanding foam into the holes and any other gaps to lock it all into place.
In the past i have used the repair kits and have found that the end result is not always what you might be after.
Regards
Gary
