my patches are totally impregnated

[CoyoteJoe]

I just got my patch material back from Jerrie's.
I sent it for the teflon treatment, I noticed on one of my yards of patch material that the teflon absorbed all the way through, is this OK I thought the whole point was to have lube on one side and nothing on the other( to grip your ball )
He sent a note saying that my patch material was extra absorbent, and he would have to take note of it next time. :hmm:
does it matter that some of the material has teflon all the through and some doesen't.
This doesen't feel like I would get consistancy.

Maybe it's possible that it will only affect the amount of residue that remains in the barrel after the shot that gets swabbed out anyway.
You'll just have to try shooting some of each yard to compare.
It seems to me that he had some kind of problem with his application process rather than it being related to using overly absorbent material though. Why else would the teflon have soaked through on this particular yard of material and not all of it?
Try to look on the bright side, maybe the ball will somehow slip through the air even better by having a teflon coating on it. :grin:

Is that a spray on treatment or a soaking process and what cost? For target shooting/competition? I've found that a just slightly damp patch shoots better than a wet patch.

I find that my .18 patches are only teflon on one side but the .15 has bleeded through enough that it's difficult to tell what side has the teflon. But I can figure it out in the right light


Having it go through to the ball should make no difference. Those are the patches that actually work best in my rifle and one of my pistols.

I kinda figured that, I used to shoot a dry patch, ballistol/ water mix, and of coarse you have lube through out the whole patch. I was just wondering, this is my first experance with teflon.
An everybody I have talked to stresses the point that the teflon needs to be on one side.
I would appreciate all the feed back from anybody who shoots teflon.

It's a spray on and I paid 22.00 dollars for two yards, Also Jerries archery (the minuite men) sold the teflon part to Ron Hite
