your right nails i s a p.i.t.a. to get wax without breaking though unless you know the secret

the nose doesnt always need to be lighter than the tail. this is what i use for my ballon gun and some minis and it goes close to 35 yards. its just a tooth pick and electrical tape.

could you use a light wood instead of cork? get dowel, or shape something on a lathe? or what if you used foam from a boogie board or something? or what about even styrofoam instead of corck?
