Make your own of buy replacements as the back was plastic and I think I heard the front maybe as well! You will have to do the work to figure out how many grains of powder and what the gun likes. If...

    Pitch?

    Nope, its been processed but if you can't get pitch where you live this is a source and it will work as an ingredient in Cutler's resin! It eliminates the melting down and straining of real pitch and if you ain't got a pine tree within miles, or you want to skip a step or two, it is an option...

    Vinegaroon Dye

    OK, so I checked my vinegaroon yesterday and it has turned to rusty liquid. Even after stirring it is still a rusty color rather than black. I am assuming that means it needs to be fed some more iron? One other question when I get it back to black again is there anything I need to do with it...
