How to Use Gel Blaster Hydrated Bullets

Hydrating Your Gel Bullets

Water Quality is Key

Avoid tap water and mineral water—stick to filtered or distilled water. Tap water’s inconsistent mineral content can cause pellets to swell unevenly or deform, even with premium-grade gels.

Hydration Process

1. Container Matters
   Use a wide bucket or bowl (the bigger, the better) and fill it with 3-4 times more water than pellets.
2. Timing & Agitation
   Stir by hand every 15 minutes. Full hydration takes 2-3 hours. Pro tip: Room-temperature water speeds up the process.
3. Size Check
   After 90 minutes, measure pellet diameter. Ideal size for most blasters: 7.3mm. Drain immediately once they hit this mark to prevent over-expansion.

Post-Hydration Care

• Draining
  Use a mesh strainer, gently shake off excess water, then rinse under low-pressure running water to remove residue.
• Drying
  Press a microfiber cloth against the strainer to absorb surface moisture. Never sun-dry—store in a sealed container with 10% residual dampness.

Field Maintenance

Monthly deep-clean: Soak barrel in 1:10 white vinegar solution to remove gel residue.

After gameplay: Drain unused pellets—they’ll dissolve and clog your mag if stored wet.
