Rubber plugs or stoppers in both ends of the barrels should prevent the solution from entering the tubes.

Same here. Oscar Gaddy's articles are your best resource if you are teaching yourself.

Corks or rubber plugs. Corks are easier to find and cheaper.

Corks are porous.

I bought a bundle of rubber stoppers off of amazon prime, they will get the job done in the acid bath no problem as they go in at room temperature. However I was not going to plug the bores during the normal distilled water boil after the rusting, I didn't think it was necessary as I would dry out bores with a patch each time. Also I am doubtful that the plugs will hold as the temperature rises inside the barrels, they will pop off due to the expanding hot air. I though about venting them somehow with a pipe or something protruding through the rubber stopper.
Brian, I did a quick search for Oscar's letters but did not find anything right away. Could you send me in a direction? Thanks in advance. |
