I made up some dipping tubes for cresting arrows out of 1 and1/2" pvc pipe and put caps on the bottoms and used caps on top to store my paint. I went in last night and the tubes were collapsed almost flat. Luckily they did not rupture and blow paint all over the house. Anyone have this happen.
wow!!!! :eek: what happend was it to hot for them . looks like ya may have to make em out of aluminum tube and just put a cork in the top with a pin hole in it to let any presure out.
Never heard of that Probably to thin of a wall on the tubes or the paint came under some type of presure
The paint could have had a chemical reaction to the PVC. What kind of paint. Hot paint like Lacquer will melt PVC and maybe the solvents in other paints. I think only water-based paint could be stored in plastic.
James.............
Yes, had that happen too..................now I only use water based poly.
BOHNING EATS PVC!
i would think lacquer based paints mite do that. but i dont know? i use pvc for my tubes and just dump what i dnt use back in the can and clean them out with thinner and i have no trouble
Make your tubes out of copper. 1" with a 1 to 1-1/2 adapter for a resevoir
Lacquer + PVC = mush. Polyethylene golf club tubes work with corks on the ends.
thanks guys. It was Bohning paint. Must have eat it up. Sounds good ,what several of you said. I'll do something different.
