Not Yet!

John Folsom and I are still in the process of working on the 15G project, and if and when we have a success with a non-leaker, we will then attempt to seal a leaker. If we are successful, then the process might be tried on 21AX leakers also.

Hawkeye does not do independent experimentation. If you want to try and experiment, then you plunk down your money and give it a try. So far nobody has put up the money for any 21AX experiments, and John and I are only into funding our own research on the 15GP22.(many thousands down the toilet at this point, but we know a lot of things that will not work) So if you have some money to throw away, feel free to join the party and experiment with your money and your dud. Scotty will be happy to try it FOR A PRICE. Last I heard a 21ax rebuild was $650 You would be better off looking for a 21ax dud under vacuum and then spending the money on a rebuild of that dud.

Good Luck!
Bob
