Thanks. I was actually curious about the poly beads that were polygonal used for coke bottles. Sound stellar. I like the idea of the under armour shirt. Good, soft material.

Yep, it's what I'm gonna do here, maybe today. I want to try one using the Underarmor material for stretch, and another like it but with a cover made from the nylon from either a rucksack or maybe the ripstop stuff from a poncho. I'd like a tougher one for the field, one for the range.
This guy on here, a member, sent me a big box of the stuff --more than I'll use. If you need just enough to make a squeeze bag, I'll give you some if you cover shipping. It's all I paid for it myself. Just PM me.
I forget what he called the "beads" (pellets really) or what they are made of, but he said they make either coke or milk bottles from 'em, and the geometry of these "beads" is perfect. Not perfectly round, not flat or rough edges, not identical, not too big or little. Just right. Only thing better would be if they actually made pellets like this that are rice shaped, because rice DOES do a damn good job, so far as squeeze, displacement of material, ease of use, etc. goes.
If they made a pellet like this, a strong plastic pellet but with air pockets to make it lighter, then that'd be THE perfect filler. But I've never seen any. Thinking like a plastic Rice Krispy would be just the bee's knees, the best of both worlds.
Anybody know of that or work with a plastic like that? Rice Krispy shaped with holes, airpockets and all?
