Ok, so I went to Lowes just a minute ago and bought some FBR and washers. The problem is when I try to hotglue the washers on, the fbr melts. Someone please help me.
Thanks

Mile high black works fine as long as you use a low-temp glue gun.Don't switch to Mile high foam, though. It's horrible with heat, and turns into a horrible black mess.

If you are using washers as weights than YOU MUST ALSO USE FELT DISCS. Sticking just a metal washer onto the tip of your dart is not safe and makes painful darts.
When you do use felt discs, both a high or low temp glue gun will work fine provided you apply it to the washer/felt and let it sit a second or so before attaching the blank.
See my signature for the video.

Also, hot glue tends to be expensive.

I use a high temperature mega hot-glue gun for all my stefans. It works just fine. I can get 25 mega colored hot glue sticks at my Michael for 4 dollars. Hot glue is in no way expensive. I have used mile high foam before and it works just fine just take a while to get oust to, so I got a low temperature hot glue gun and it worked fine. I use really, really dense foam though. Also if you are following ices video, you can have any of the washer exposed because then they will not allow you to use them in a war. So if you want to just use washers, make CS darts. Also I would suggest getting new foam. Hope this helps.Also, hot glue tends to be expensive.
I usually pick up 15 - 20 glue sticks at the dollar store for $1.14 after taxes. I wouldn't really call that expensive.

Don't blame the foam for your inability to correctly make stefans.
I have made easily over 7000 stefans out of Mile High with hot glue and I have melted perhaps 10 and never into a "Horrible Black Mess" just deformed the tips a bit because I put too much glue in too fast.
A LOW TEMP glue gun is ESSENTIAL to making stefans in either the felt/washer method or the BB/Hot Glue method.

i know what your problem is this fbr is not only open cell but the cells are so big that you can melt the dart easyly get fbr from home depotTry putting the glue on the washer first wait a bit then put the fbr on the washer.

I have a low temp hot glue gun.
And don't insult my dart making ability. The only reason you melt so few is because you use an ammount of glue equivelent to the size of a ladybug in each dart. You don't even put any glue inside to secure the weights. Firing your darts out of my higher powered blasters would cause the weights to migrate from the front of the dart to the back. Also, hitting anything less than 40' would result in weights flying out the side, because you didn't secure the damn things. So don't give me any crap about my dart making ability. I've never broken one of my darts, but I've broken all of yours.

I too can attest for what Wes has said. Now I would be interested in these cheaper/better than hereticorp darts.
