Target Repair - Need help with vendor contact at Kzoo
« on: March 14, 2008, 08:42:00 PM »
When I was at the Kzoo Trad Expo back in January there was a gentleman there who was selling a kit for repairing 3D targets. You shook the ingredients up in a plastic milk jug. It really did a great repair job.
Does anybody remember seeing this vendor and have any contact information.
Thanks,  Burnsie

I can not think of their name/info... but I am pretty sure 3-Rivers sells the repair kit.  Gotta head to work, so I can not verify my thought, but worth a check.

Its not about the weapon used, its about the adventure involved.

Contacting Great Northern was my first thought too.  Couldn't find an email address for them, guess I can just give them a call.
I have used great stuff in the past, but this stuff was super dense and the repair looked almost like new, wanted to give it a try.
Thanks for the help guys - Burnsie

A little bit of google seaching based on the info from ShooterF150 and I found what I was looking for. Got a kit ordered with Paypal.  Here is the link in case anyone else wants to add it to their favorites:  http://www.3-dcountry.com/index.html

Thanks Again, Burnsie

anyone ever use that product?

i just emailed them to see the variation in the dark and light brown...want something to match my current target somewhat.  For $25 ya can't really get hurt though right?  I have 2 targets I dont use anymore b/c they are shot out...can't wait to hear back from them.

I've used it and love it.  It's better than the original material.  It self-heals better.  Follow the instructions closely.  I've tried to mix less-than-full-kit quantities with mixed results.  The proportion is critical and don't try to hold it down (trying to make it penetrate all the little holes better).  It needs to expand to properly cure.  As for color, if the color match doesn't suit you, paint them.  That's what I did.

I got my kit a few days ago and aleady have my whitetail target repaired.  It was shot out pretty good and had a good sized hole to fill. It is some neat stuff to watch work, the kids got a kick out of watching it expand and feeling how warm the milk jug got.
Make sure the side of the target you want showing is the one you put the plastic on, it will come out nice and smooth. Like Dave said just let it expand on its own and trim any excess off the other other side. Much cheaper than dropping big $$$ on a new one.
