I have recently acquired some 3-D archery targets that need repair. I have heard that you can just use the can of great stuff. Anyone have any experience or other ideas?
What about other products that are a bit more flexible? I have a friend who owns a spray foam truck so I can probably get other materials. Anyone look at Dalchem?
Maybe the two part foam taxidermists use for forms? It seems a fair bit firmer than great stuff and still has some flex. It expands some crazy amount like 30x its volume. You can buy it in fairly small quantities from many taxidermy supply places.
I tried just about every foam/glue you can buy in store. None of it worked for more than a week or so.
Best thing is to store 3D targets in a garage or shed so the sun and weather don’t break them down. Set them up, shoot, take down. The mechanical damage from shooting takes a lot longer to wear them out, but once they’re done, they’re done. In my experience anyway.

You want to use 3d target repair foam. Self healing and holds up to the abuse from arrows. Conventional spray foam will not last long. I found a supplier in Edmonton that sells this foam and lots of people have had success with it. (Check it out on YouTube). I will be trying it during the winter/off season. The stuff our club currently got was out of the states. Took forever to get and super expensive.
