Tanaka G17 Modelgun Cycle Problem / Feed Ramp Bump Fixed!!

Hello there,
Since my Project is on Pause right now and i just saw someone Talk about his feeding Problems i thought id show my little solution.
It`s as simple as this:




Simply explained:
The Feed Ramp is a a bit Flimsy and the Carts did ram into it.
Since there was enough free Space i just filled it to support the Force.
What did i use to fill it?
Just apply Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) and Baking Soda till wanted thickness is acquired and then sand it Smooth, Done!

I tried explaining it trough Paint to Visualize it a bit more:



Best Regards

Thanks for the tip, i will have to give this a go

Nice fix.

Is there any benefit to using superglue+baking soda instead of an epoxy glue?

To be honnest i havent tried Epoxy on this since i didnt know if it would work, most epoxy glues are having a hard Time actually bonding with the surface they are applied on.
So i used superglue since i had positive experience with it bonding to Plastic, and you could obviously use "professional" superglue-filler but baking soda does the exact same thing and that for way less Money!

I came up with this "mod" after the first like 8 Shots and since that i never had a missfeed, so its actually holding up still!

Best Regards

That's great information as I'd never thought of using a filler with superglue. It'll be one for my toolkit from now on.
