Posted: 4/9/2006 6:19:55 PM EDT

Recently ordered a dealer pack of bando/clips from Ole Sarge, problem is I,m not sure
how to load and seal them.hemfor storage-except for 4-5 placed @ ready points. (Just in case I need them in a hurry)

I have the same kits as you and I use either hot glue gun or if I'm to lazy to steal that from my wife I just put a piece of scotch tape over the end.

Care to share a link? Is "Ole Sarge" a business name?

Elmer's glue is meant for paper and cardboard, it'll work perfectly.

I use Scotch 2" packing tape. It almost covers the flap completely and is quick to apply.

I did this?

AFTER I used the Bandoliers I have to take the TAPE OFF for storeage of Empty bando`s?

My advise unless you will never use the ammo SKIP the Tape

You cut the tape afterwards if you want to flatten them out again. I use tape, and if I don't re-fill the cardboard I just slit the tape.

Not if it's in a sealed ammo can with desiccant.

I never have empty bandos

I think we have a misunderstanding. I tape the end that's supposed to be sealed closed. One end is still open.
