What stuff do you keep in your soaker `shop? - Input desired
I'm trying to find out what everyone uses on their soakers for modifications and repairs.
What kind of tape do you prefer/most use?
Glue?
What tools and materials do you use to add onto and work on your blasters?
...Oh, I forgot to add the other half of my thought:
Say what you use each material for, be it adhesive or hardware.

I use the greatest boon to soaking imagineable - JBWeld Epoxy. Duct Tape also figures heavily into some of my repair jobs.

Oh gosh let's see:
A full set of screwdrivers, epoxy putty, duct tape, electrical tape, scissors, pliers, hacksaw, teflon tape, pvc primer and cement, sand paper, and a whole load of other tools and devices. I use epoxy for check valve-related things, electrical tape for areas being repaired that get wet. I've got a whole bunch of stuff, enough to build, mod, and repair.

all hail JBweld and duct tape! also a hacksaw for cutting tubes and other random soaker bits, lots of PVC pipe for making mods or homemades, and obviously PVC purple primer and glue. also lots of masking tape or painter's tape, and a bunch of cans of spraypaint (especially camo colors). generally any type of tape and glue is good. also a big bag a recyclabes (that's there anyways as i use the garage for my soaker shop) for holding ammo or expanding tanks. again, lots of JBweld is good to have. also rubber bands and springs, as well as some wire and coathangers for repairing or reinforcing trigger mechs.Adrian wrote:I use the greatest boon to soaking imagineable - JBWeld Epoxy.

When you do lots of power mods, it is quite difficult to keep balloons stocked. Every time I want to do a k-mod, I look around, but never have any balloons handy.

Query: do you guys have or may be willing to take pics of your soaker workshop areas? While you know my stance on modding, workshops are still great places when it comes to repairing soakers and building other devices. One of these days (along with all the other things I want to do), I'd like to push up more articles and/or upgrade the repairs section on iSoaker.com and pics, guides, etc. would be most welcome.
As for me, I have my own collection of tools for my mini-workshop area (mostly for repairing soakers and opening up soakers to take internal pics). I'll try to push up a pic or two in the near future.

Last fall I had binoculars, duct tape, a knife, poly cord, and a Mag-Lite. Sorta skimpy, but you're talking I'm sneaking up on a base with just a Water Warriors Stinger and mining their own territory.

Wonder why I missed this topic earlier.
Anyways, I have duct tape, Epoxy, a good set of drills, a good set of screwdrivers, balloons, PVC, Pliers, sandpaper, vinyl tubing, a few O-rings, LRT, some other stuff I can't think of. (though most of it's for the homemades) Other stuff (like electrical tape) can be taken from other places if necessary of course.
