A word of warning: The large amount of heat generated by a fast kicking resin has the potential to distort the thin styrene shell, so if anyone is planning to fill the water gun with resin for added weight, be sure to either use a slow setting resin (like the clear that Candykiller used), or only fill a little bit at a time (allowing the blaster to cool between pours). I learned this after a pair of grips that I'd cut off and backfilled warped while curing... fortunately, grips can be replaced, but I'd hate to see someone's entire blaster get trashed.
I was planning to completely fill mine with resin but as I have never worked with resin before, I wasn't aware of the heat thing. I have bought this type from ebay....will it be ok to use in one go or will I need to add a bit at a time?
I was lucky enough with my blaster that the grips came straight off and didn't appear to have been glued which will make the painting easier
