Most of the home made gelatine blocks I've seen on utube seem to be to soft and from what I've seen allow more penitration than I see in the field.
Just seems like a denser material to me.
With the ability to buy less dense as well.
A gel with a good bloom rating is pretty expensive!

Hmmmm bit slow on it, but just realised that if this stuff has the ability to take impact of a powder burner bullet and catch it, with the density and plyability of the fishing lure ( not to mention the ability to hold shape on heat)
This could be the perfect shock absorbent material for me try on the gamo.
Be keen to hear other ppls opinion on whether they think might be good idea.
