Metal grip strips

[Spaznick]

Does anyone know where I can come by some aluminum strips that can be used as grips (similar to the starkiller ones)? Thanks

to my knowlege, Starkiller didnt have aluminum strips. You could just use some wiper blades, and trim down the sides of the to make them more narrow.

I really want to go with metal..

Go to home depot or a scraper and get a chunk of metal, that easy...

I remember seeing metal strips at a hobby shop I was at back in May....might try looking at one near you.

[Zook]

hobby lobby has them. I used some on my first US 2.1 saber. They have different sizes

You can get some lead Weights usually used for pinewood derby cars and JB weld them on...

All good sugestions, I will check it out.

Um.

Are you talking pure lead? Or some kind of alloy? I wasn't a Boy Scout, so I don't know what that's made up of.

Isn't it soft? Won't it be constantly getting nicked, dinged, losing chunks of itself?

And lead is poisonous, you don't want to be handling that unless it's painted or coated with something.

All-in-all, that sounds like a bad idea.

He should be able to find smaller strips of metal at hobby shops as suggested. I've seen aluminum and brass strips at mine.

J-Lo is very correct , lead can kill you , even if coated, it leaches out of anything.
