Thank you for making this video! This is the first video I’ve ever watched of yours but this was very informative! I just bought my kids gel ball blasters with 50,000 gel balls & I wasn’t sure how much water to use! Thank you so much again!
Thank you as a newbie that was actually very informative. I do have 1 question for example with bottle two, if you add the gel balls to more water will they form product or are they quite simply buggered.
Wondering the same thing, but testing it out right now, so I'll update with answers when I figure it out. In my case, it's not only water that's the problem, but its temperature - I left it with too little water and live in a cold country where we're currently mid-snowstorm, so the water quickly grew cold and the balls didn't grow all that much, even after 4 hours, so I drained them and put them away until morning. I'm rewatering them with warm water now, 7 hours later. If they can come back from that, they can come back from anything!
Of course the gel balls eventually become fully hydrated. The balls get to the point when they can no longer absorb any water. This is the correct diameter designed by the manufacturer to work best in the guns mechanisms. If the balls are still absorbing water and run out of water they won't get to full size. It's not rocket science.
I know this is an old video but may I ask when growing gel balls does it need to be exposed to air and not in a sealed container?? Cause I tried growing gel balls in a sealed container I was wondering why the gel balls are seems 'larger' in the videos I've seen people use (they grow theirs in a bowl and not covered), mine don't grow like that and I made sure the gel balls are fully soaked in water for 4-6 hrs. And when I use the gel balls in my gel blaster it doesn't shoot far and sometimes just dribble out of the barrel. And I've disassembled and look in my gel blaster's gears / motors and it seems fine to me.
Hey sarah. Since this video alot has changed with gel balls and growing them. The classic tactical stingers are ok to stay in water for a few weeks in an enclosed container in a cool place. The coloured stinger gels do grow a bit larger. The ultra hard gels are suitable for growing for 2-4 hours then removing from water. These are good to keep in a sealed container in the fridge generally for up to a week.
I use a 1L cordial bottle (better quality, wider opening, easier to store than a coke bottle). A packet of 10k weighs roughly 50g. Break out the kitchen scales & put 12g of gels into the 1L bottle & fill almost to the top. Gels won't out grow the water & it makes enough to fill a speed loader with a few left over.
I'm sorry but what you said is incorrect, he's neither showing how to make gel balls or "grow them" as you said, instead he's showing how to prepare them or hydrate them for use.
informative! I simply use one of mums large cooking pots, put smaller amounts in per batch, when grown to adult size, theres plenty water left over...store em in dark at room temp once made, seems to work for me, i use green zombies, the feed thru M4A1s well, as do milkies, but strangely found orange dont like my M4s much, i have not tried other colours... If theres a super hard version out there, please tell me. Good work tactical edge!!
Im having trouble tho, the gel balls i buy is a lot bigger in an hour so i thought I'll soak it again because it's still not in 3-4hours mark. But when it's already 3hours, it gets bigger again and it's not shooting because it's too big.
Can someone help me? I just bought a splat r ball sbr400 and it only shoots half the time. It will only shoot a couple shots then dry fire a whole lot. Does anyone know why this would be?
Can i just fill up bottles and bottles and leave them in a cool area until i have to use them? Or do i need to time it that ill use the balls in 5 hours?
Generally with water 5 years. Air tight no water 3 months. Open no water 1 week. I haven't tested any of these claims but I have yet to experience any degradation.
Hey Gilly, How do you get the Gel Balls dry enough to use? I've drilled holes in the bottom of my speed loader to help any excess water drain but I am still finding I'm getting beads of water in my mag.
In the video he says that storing the gel balls in the fridge or freezer is bad because they get too hard and lead to complications during firing. (Such as them exploding when being shot and damaging the guns internals) Hope this helps! Edit: Grammar
@@inanutshell-history7056 Can you leave the extra gel balls that you’re not going to use inside an airtight bottle where the balls are submerged in water? Or will the gel balls still get damaged overtime if you don’t use it?
What I wanna knows is, why is GelSoft allowed in some states in Australia but not Airsoft, because GelSoft and AirSoft is basically the same thing, the guns, pistols and rifles, look the same, the only difference is one type of gun shoot's gel balls and the other shoots plastic or nylon (whatever that material is) ball bearings or BB's, other than that they're exactly the same in looks and power and mark that it will leave on someone's body when shot with either GelSoft or AirSoft.
@@TacticalEdgeHobbiesAU Oh okay, thanks for the correction, all I remember about airsoft pistols at least is that they used to be legal in certain states in Australia because I saw a Western Australia army surplus store advertisement in a magazine back in the mid 90's, where they were selling airsoft pistols, like colt, smith and wesson, beretta, and glock pistols as well and everything was going great, until a mental nut case by the name of Martin Bryant I think his name was, I think he was into nazi bullshit etc. anyway, he massacred a whole bunch of people at Port Arthur in Tasmania using a military assault rifle, and from that point onward the govt. in conjunction with law enforcement banned these airsoft guns for one reason only I think, which was that although they are toys they look too realistic, so the ban had nothing to do with the fact that the airsoft guns fire projectiles (BB's) it all had to do with the fact that they are replica guns, they also placed an import ban on butterfly knives as well.
Hi! I'm from Russia. Gel blasters in Russia are new and we know little about them. Today I shot milky balls. I grew them in a bottle of full water. Shot. But soon I noticed that the water in the bottle became cloudy, and the milky balls became smaller in diameter. In the same bottle of muddy water were ordinary balls. But they did not decrease in size, their diameter remained the same. What's the matter? Does this mean that milky balls are more choosy about the quality of the water and water should be constantly changed?
Shouldve primed the gun before shooting gel balls from both bottles instead of just bottle 1. Wouldve been able to see how bottle 2 gel balls performed if primed first.
Beware newbies. 2:1 is fake news. Implies you just double the quantity of water to raw (undeveloped) balls. Not sure why he says it numerous times when his (good) demonstration clearly shows that ratio is wrong. Perhaps someone said it to him once and, not really understanding ratios, just throws it out. Follow instructions on the pack but if not in English, experiment but for first go, put about 3 litres of water for about 10k gel balls (milkys) or, say, 2L for 5k (half pack). You’ll work it out quickly.

Awesome video man. Thanks for taking us rookies into account. Right on my dude 👍🏼
Bro you just answered all my questions, thanks so much for this vid....much love my friend.
Lil Dizzy don’t do it in warm do it in cold but not freezing
Great video tutorial ...now I finally know where I Made mistakes ...always added less water ....from now on I will do 2:1 ratio...
You can tell when someone loves their job, and this guy loves his job
nice demonstration this helped alot!!
STD......
ordering my first blaster soon and this will definitely help!!!
thankyou!!!

Depends on the ball my titans worked fine doing it

When growing gel balls does adding more water to keep them submerged have the same result as starting with enough water?
Did you not see the vid

Thank bro keep it up u are a5 star teacher
Does using distilled water make any difference in how well your gel balls develop?
How do you store one's you don't use can they be dry or do you keep them in water and how long will they last?
Number one gel blasters around
Thanks very much, great informative video. Cheers, Mate.

How long can I leave them in water for?
Question! Does it only fill up to a certain size or the longer you put it in the water the larger it will stretch and expand?
Certain size
I use a 1L cordial bottle (better quality, wider opening, easier to store than a coke bottle). A packet of 10k weighs roughly 50g. Break out the kitchen scales & put 12g of gels into the 1L bottle & fill almost to the top. Gels won't out grow the water & it makes enough to fill a speed loader with a few left over.
I thought it was how to make the gel balls not to grow them. 😂 Good video though!
lol same

yea same here

Get the clear ones then put them in dye and it leave a nice stain
Hello! Were did you get your gel glock? Thanks!
I looked on your website and they’re all sold out so I probably need to go in store
can you store pre made gel bolls
thanks buddy love your vids
informative!

If theres a super hard version out there, please tell me. Good work tactical edge!!
how would i go about actually straining the water out of the bottle?
Now i know thanks boss!
Can you guarantee delivery to Melbourne?
does gel ball shrink storing in water over weeks or months?
How many hours do I need for the gel balls submerged to be shoot-ready?
In the video he leaves them in for 5 hours but I'm willing to bet anywhere from 5-6 would be fine.
where can we get the music from?
The kublai p1 gas blow back is my favourite pistol
Hello sir im From Philippines..do you have any branches here in my country?
Im having trouble tho, the gel balls i buy is a lot bigger in an hour so i thought I'll soak it again because it's still not in 3-4hours mark. But when it's already 3hours, it gets bigger again and it's not shooting because it's too big.
Look up tactical harden gell balls they stay one size and are harder they feel and look more like airsoft bbs once expanded
Can someone help me? I just bought a splat r ball sbr400 and it only shoots half the time. It will only shoot a couple shots then dry fire a whole lot. Does anyone know why this would be?
How long does 10k gel balls last?
Can i just fill up bottles and bottles and leave them in a cool area until i have to use them? Or do i need to time it that ill use the balls in 5 hours?
Well maintained back lawn man LOL
Where is your gel blaster store located I'm at the sunshine coast
There one in Caloundra in the esplanade
Cheers bruv, thanks for the vid
For long term storage should your gel balls stay fully submerged?
I dunno but if you have them long term and without any water in they have a weird reaction and become sludgy
Generally with water 5 years. Air tight no water 3 months. Open no water 1 week. I haven't tested any of these claims but I have yet to experience any degradation.
Water makes them smaller over Time
My clear gel balls are exploding out of the barrel with my punisher. Are white gel balls harder. Will that fix my problem?
Yeah the so called milkys are what you want
'So what we have here is the std," killed me bro
What size are the balls?
Hey Gilly, How do you get the Gel Balls dry enough to use? I've drilled holes in the bottom of my speed loader to help any excess water drain but I am still finding I'm getting beads of water in my mag.
pour the gel balls into a strainer (plastic or metal) and that should remove all water
Those orange gels are some of the best gels they tend to grow larger but are still super tuff..i want to see a compario of ultra elites vs booms
Is it okay for the gel balls to be wet when I load them in into the mag
Sassy The Sasquatch try strain as much as possible but don’t dry
Sassy The Sasquatch drain as much as u can but make the balls koost so it acts as a live and makes it easier for the gun
no, lay them over a towel and pat them gently with a paper towel
Mr_Tea_Rexx I take mine out and chuck them straight in works perfectly
Don’t pat them dry but make sure there a little bit moist
Does it matter if it's hot or cold water?
Can you not just put water in the 2nd bottle after though so you can submerge them again
Thank you for this great tutorial
is 60000 gel ammo enough for a party?
Nice videos
What happens if you have a lot of gels left over? What should I do
Thank you for the helpful video
Do you have to dry them or just empty them into a sieve and into a loading bottle or what.????
Don't dry them fully, need to be moist or they start shrinking and have no lubrication in the barrel etc
Can you pls show us how to upgrade the internals pls
Really helpful thankyou
Where the automatic guns can be bought now?..
Is that a 1.5 bottle?
how do you roperly get rid of all exes water
Love the Dougie Houser music
warm water is better because in cold water things tend to shrink and shrivel up and in warm it expand so there u go
What dize are the gel balls
But how do you get rid of the excess water when I put the gel balls in sometimes the mag is dripping
Perhaps putting the gel balls into a strainer and waiting a bit may get the excess water out?
You can use them in a cap gun
Jen10 looks awesome
Gillie, stop teasing me. All these giveaways and yet I'm still empty handed, give this dog a bone. Good luck y'all.
thanks for the vid
You guys rock
Can you load the clip with gel balls and then store in the fridge?
In the video he says that storing the gel balls in the fridge or freezer is bad because they get too hard and lead to complications during firing. (Such as them exploding when being shot and damaging the guns internals)
Hope this helps!

Come on gilly my boys would love them as I can’t afford to buy 2 more..
Literally!!
When i am growing them many of them is exploding while growing i dont know why but its not The temprature
Once all gel balls are fully prepared.. what is best way to store them?
Jamie McMahon just inside the bottle and when you wanna use the, strain the amount you want and keep the rest where you soaked them
How do I get rid of the water without wasting the Gel balls
Maybe it would be best to put the gel balls into a strainer and wait for the excess water to leave.
I put 2500 in a 3l ice cream tub in the fridge over night, never have issues with g18
Did you have to use the sound track from dougie houser lol 😂😂
thanks
They perfectly fill a 3litre milk bottle. Says so on most packs
if my gel balls dry up and shrink and the pistol is not firing them, can i resoak them in water and make them bigger again for reuse?

Is there a way to soak these in some kind of hot sauce mixture, to make them into pepper spray balls?
