Yes in my head I knew that but its been a long time since I rolled my own. Any batches I've rolled that are too dry and cracked or misshaped have just been plugged up and used as loose feed or boilie crumb.

All good fun!! Although knowing you have come up with a base mix that can catch aswell any the best commercial baits takes a big leap of faith and commitment. There's always doubts in your mind!

Any deep fat fryer will do it.
They will go off the boil for a short while when you put a new batch of boilies in but will soon come back to the boil.

Anyone got a current link for one of these orange guns from eBay/Amazon please? I’m currently using the deluxe Gardner aluminium gun with yellow witches hats. Which parts are interchangeable, is it just the yellow nozzles I can use or is it the cartridge too? I need it to take a 4 egg/500g dry mix which fits my existing gun perfectly.

Also, any links to suitable chip fryers for boiling purposes? Do they stay on a constant rolling boil? Any tips on use, like recommended amounts to try and boil in one go etc? Currently limited to 2 lines of of a large Gardner 20mm rolling table.

Many thanks in advance.

The general method is to stick to a set amount of liquids, eggs, hydros, etc, then add the amount of dry to achieve the correct firmness.

If it is very slightly too dry you can flick a bit of water over it and rework the paste without compromising the mix.

I've ordered a pack of witches nozzles now

With regard the poster questioning mix stiffness. The last batch I made was too stiff so I've upped the number of eggs / liquids. The mix is mainly birdfood along with kelp and crushed egg shells which I've always assumed is harder to gun out than a soft smooth milk mix!

I had similar with a 5mix pneumatic gun, it blew the whole nozzle adapter off the threaded end, it was the 4 nozzle solar one, it didn’t break it just jumped off the threads.
My mate was using it at the time and was standing next to me, it went past my head and put a big dent in the side of the freezer, thank christ it missed me.

You may get away with 14 x 16 barrels, can't say I've tried though.
The yellow witches hats are the way to go, then just hand roll a sausage with the remaining paste in the nozzle and stick it on the table and roll.

Thanks mate. Have you got a suggestion for a alternative nozzle by any chance?
I typically use 15 or 16mm but Im looking to make barrels on a 14mm table but would like the flexibility for larger.

I’m not going to say I told you so in that other thread Dave

I knew that was coming

And Vossy, the nozzles that come with the gun are useless unless you're doing small baits.

I'm looking at this gun on Ebay at the moment, might finally pull my finger out and get one.
Do you guys buy the witches hats separately?

EDIT, the clear hats that come with it don't look like they have that great a size range but as with all pics this could be misleading. Do they go up to say 20mm size?

People really should not use any plastic attachments from a hand gun on these powered guns. They come with metal collars & witches hats are 3 for a fiver. When they blow up, they go with a nasty bang. A weighty lump of solid plastic comes off the end at the speed of a bullet from a gun. I’ve blown up two, I’m in no doubts that either time it would have killed someone had it hit them in the head. I put a big deep dent in a solid wall in my old kitchen with one of those Gardner plastic attachments.

You simply can’t use plastic collars or attachment nozzles on these guns. Or exactly as per Baitmans photos you will do the same. We are running five of these guns daily. Witches hats and the metal collars that come with the gun are all you should use.

I purchased two more from the eBay seller two weeks ago. He has loads in stock.

I wasn't suggesting that a wet mix without hardeners would produce a hard boilie. What I meant was, that you can have an extrudable mix with hardeners and not run the risk of shooting your missus in the kitchen with a Gardner nozzle 😂
