Measure a piece of card stock to the length of the 'pass through' in barrel section of the gun. After the card stock is cut, fold the card into a 'V' shape. Insert the card into the barrel. This will work as a 'shim' to keep the rubber from flowing through the open section of the barrel. Mix the Super Instant epoxy and carefully apply it to areas where the card 'shim' touches the barrel parts.
