Wadding Tamp Tool Part 2


By using this tool you can gauge how deep the wadding will go inside the tube.

Here I'm holding the dowel outside the body tube to the depth I want the wadding to go.




Hold that position on the dowel and push the wadding in to the depth you were holding on the outside of the body earlier.



If you have pushed the wadding in too far, you can push the dowel in from the back and move the wadding forward.
The 5/16" diameter dowel will slide right through the inside of the engine block.

Don't pack your wadding too tightly!
This tool is used to improve the seal on the inside wall of the body tube, not for smashing the wadding into a tight block that won't eject!
