CLEANING CLOSURES
wpe1.jpg (20988 bytes)

THIS IS A MUST ITEM FROM DR ROCKET INC.

  • USED TO CLEAN THE INSIDE OF THE LONGER 38mm HARDWARE AND THE DIFFICULT TO REACH 29mm HARDWARE.
  • THOROUGH CLEANING OF YOUR HARDWARE AFTER USE IS A MUST FOR FUTURE SUCCESSFUL FLIGHTS.   RETAINED RESIDUES CAN PREVENT GOOD SEALING OF THE O-RINGS AND RESULT IN GAS LEAKAGE AND MOTOR FAILURE.
  • DOUBLE THREADED SO THAT ONE CLOSURE WORKS FOR ALL. 
  • ANODIZED BLACK AND OF COURSE LASER ETCHED.

HOW TO USE THE CLEANING CLOSURES:

  • THE O-RINGS FROM THE AFT CLOSURE OF THE 29MM RELOAD KIT.  ARE PLACED IN THE GROVE BETWEEN THE KNURLED AREA AND THE THREADED AREA OF THE CLOSURE.
  • THE 0-RING FROM THE 38mm SEAL DISC IS PLACED IN THE SAME GROOVE ON THE 38MM SIDE OF THE CLOSURE
  • ALL LINERS AND MAJOR PIECES OF RESIDUE ARE REMOVED MANUALLY FROM THE FIRED MOTOR.
  • ONE OF THE CLOSURES IS THREADED INTO THE CASE. SEATING THE O-RING AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE CASE.
  • THE LEAD SHOT AGITATORS ARE THEN ADDED WITH ONE TO TWO OUNCES OF CLEANING SOLUTION.   (FOR CLEANING SOLUTIONS WE USE EITHER HOPPES #9 OR VINEGAR).
  • THE OTHER CLOSURE IS THEN TIGHTEN ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE.
  • THE MIXTURE IS THEN SHAKEN AND NOT STIRRED.
  • AFTER AN AMPLE AGITATION THE CONTENTS OF THE MOTOR ARE DISCARDED (EXCEPT FOR THE LEAD SHOT WHICH IS REUSED)
