Steve H. Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I recently made up some deflated airbags for my current project. Here's a simple technique for doing it. cut out several squares of .040 plastic, drilled out the center and mounted them on a Dremel mandrel. I used a very small triangular file to shape them, along with an emory board to soften the edges. While they were still on the mandrel, I applied some Testors liquid cement to lock them down. To cover the hole, I punched out some circles from .010 plastic and glued them on.
Wildrice Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Also heard of people using o-rings for airbags too.
