Add water to the caustic (don`t add caustic to water or it can boil and spit ) and make a just milky colour solution . Drop the parts in and the anodizing will go pretty quickly . Keep a good eye on it as if you leave it in too long the caustic will eat your part .

another thing is a poor barrel seal . Normal pellets with the thin skirt expand to fit the barrel on firing . sold slugs wont expand so if they arn`t a decent fit in the barrel air will pass by them and give a power drop .

How are you filling the bottle with the inbuilt reg ?
Ive seen a similar reg design to what your using and it needed a vent to atmosphere hole to function . does your reg not need this . We tried a theoben style reg in a tube and without the vent to atmosphere breather hole it just locked up .

From the pictures I can see spelching (splitting) of the carbon which you get from using a hack saw or chop saw .

To cut it easily all you need is a dremmel tool with snake attachment and a thin cut off wheel .
