I whitened by cartridge box sling today.

Mixed up some milk and chalk, as described in some historical manuals from around 1800. Looks pretty decent. To paint the sling I only used some ragged cloth, no brushes or anything else. The manuals do say that you should use a brush, but I can imagine that a lot of people would only have used some old cloth to paint it.

My idea is that I will whiten it now, and then let it get dirty for at least a year. I think that that will make the sling look much more "campaignish" than always whitening, or never whitening it.

Anyone have any good tutorials for making your own paper cartridges?

Oh wow thanks. Now forgive my scrubness, but is there a certain kind of paper you need to use? And if so where do I get some?

Normal printing paper works best. Dont use too thin, and dont use too thick paper. You don't want to loose your teeth when openeing the cartrdige, on the other hand, too thin paper breaks to quickly and when you bite it off, it rips to far and you have powder all over your face.

The stuff used for papers is called newsprint, if you need to do a search for it.
