I tried gluing on the buffers, and the only thing that made a good bond was superglue. The hot glue that I was using didn't stick well to the neoprene buffer, so, for the nubs I'm going to use on Sunday, they're going to be superglued. I have 8 different duro's of neoprene coming in (10-80), along with a better hot glue. I'm thinking that I might have to change the direction that this project is headed. After some preliminary tests, I think I will have to choose between either the angled nub and the flat nub, and send out 4 different hardnesses of neoprene buffers. I believe that optimizing the depth and hardness of the buffer material will yield better results than the shape. I believe if the buffer material is soft enough, it will be better than having a hard (concave) nub, as the buffer material will conform to the bb shape meaning that it will always be centered. I haven't yet decided what will be included in each set, but I believe I will be discontinuing the EAN/EFN lines, and will be focusing on the BEAN/BEFN nubs. If somebody would rather have the original set (BEAN, EAN, BEFN, BEFN) then send me a email/pm, otherwise, I'll find some way to optimize the hardness/shape. This probably means that the hardness will need to depend on variables such as rof, velocity, weight, etc, so there will be a auto and dmr version of the nub
