3D target repair

[GCook]

I've been told there is a three part epoxy, comes in jars, that is great for repairs on 3D targets.  I know there a couple of two part epoxy brands.
Shot some the other day at the range that had been repaired with it.  Tough stuff.
If you are familiar with it and know an outlet please post up.

I’m in for info!

I’ve used a two part foam epoxy. The third component was a little bottle of dye (color) that came in brown or black. You added a small amount of black to get grey. You got different shades of brown depending on how much of the brown you used (could also add a very small amount of black to go darker).

Got it from cabelas….years and years ago.

I bought up a lot of used 3D targets from a shop/range what was switching from Mackenzee to Rienhart.

My dad and brother still have them…think they are using the same stuff for repairs.

Found it, thanx.

They don't give any technical data on that foam?? But it's not "epoxy" foam, its urethane.
Check out Smooth-On, they sell a variety of expanding urethane and silicone foams, with many options for density and rate of expansion. Better prices also.

Have you used them for repairing 3D targets?  Because I've shot targets repaired with the other and it was solid stuff.  Guy just couldn't remember the name of the top of his head

I have used one of the self skinning foams to make a target. Like I mentioned before, you can get the expanding urethane foams in various densities depending on how "solid" you want it to be.

The "other" is repackaged material from another manufacturer. Any manufacturer will make available the technical data and safety data for the products they make.

Yeah but then I'm forced to make a decision what I need.

Take a look at 3D country. This guy professionally repairs targets and has been for a very long time.

Recently I purchased some target paint to revamp my rinehart targets.. most of my range has never seen the inside of a building in over 10 years.. the sun is brutal here too.
The paint is amazing and if you take your time, will look as good as new! I know his foam is also as good. Tell George I sent you.. won't get you a discount but sounds good

I looked at them as well.  I appreciate that input.  Just need to make a purchase now.

I guess this one is a bit too far gone…

I'd say he took a few too many for the team!

It’s just a cheap target. Not worth fixing.
I just thought it’s funny that I cut it in two. I never shot it with a broadhead.

If it was my target and it was a large critter, I would buy some 17lbs density, self skinning FlexFoam. Thats if I could could strap some sheet material, .020 plastic or thin sheet metal tightly over the cavity and pour it. If not possible to get a good seal with the sheet, I would get the 25lbs density FlexFoam and shape it after the cure.

[wood carver 2]

If it was a quality target with a replaceable core, would it be cost effective to repair it with foam, or just buy a new core?
I was thinking that you could pull out the worn out core and tightly wrap the target with a thick layer of shrink wrap, then drill down from the top and pour foam into the cavity. The shrink wrap should be firm enough to keep it’s shape as the foam expands.

Well the core had been unavailable for some time.  A day or so ago, actually not long after I posted, I found some available.  Now will it still be when I get home and can order?
