Hmm.. spray-on-rubber... sounds somewhat questionable (in many ways) if you ask me! :goofy:

While it may be good for sealing cracks and leaks, not sure whether it will actually provide improved elastic power. In fact, I'd be concerned that it may actually reduce elasticity, hardening the rubber bladder it is sprayed on. Of course, would need to be tested, but I won't hold my breath (and I won't be subjecting any of my blasters to that sort of experimenting). If anyone wants to buy a can of this stuff (and has other uses for it), may wish to try it on some rubber balloons before trying a real water blaster's PC.

:cool:

Someone else try it... let me know if it works. I am not willing to try this myself. Thanks for bringing it up though, it's always good to at least look into new areas.

My concerns align with iSoaker's in that it would reduce power by hardening and restricting the original bladder. And if this is true, the mod is not reversible, wasting a CPS bladder. These bladders are not common, and there is really nothing wrong with the original k-mod. In the end, I don't think this mod is worth the risk, but if one REALLY wanted to try it out one could make a spherical bladder using ballons, and see what happens. Maybe it will actually work...

The biggest problem I see is making it even

Well, not that much soakage.

Why not put a single balloon on the bladder first? A single balloon will have no large impact on power and will make it a simple process to remove this stuff.

Make sure to tell us the results of this new mod. Like Jeffman said, make sure to put one balloon over the bladder before you spray so this mod is removable. I would still just stick with a regular K-mod, however...

The best ideas are often the most simple... brilliant. I am actually rather eager to see how this turns out.

Please take pictures.

well in the video someone takes a sheet of it and bends it to show that it is flexible so it might work.

But possibly not elastic…

Hm...quite interesting thing :) But I am not sure wheather this can STAND PRESSURE. Which is important when sealing up broken inner mechanics.

Unavailable here in europe though, so I can just wait for the guy who has a try :D ( hei this is kind of a word game, haha)

This stuff looks good for repair lol. Not sure if it could stand pressure, but could likely be a good repair for non-pressure reservoir leaks and what not.
