What are Gel Blasters?
The next evolution in backyard fun. Gel Blasters shoot non-toxic, eco-friendly, biodegradable Gellets. Gellets® are small, colorful water-hydrated balls that pop on contact and immediately begin to disintegrate, leaving no stain, no mess and no clean up.

Do they leave a stain or residue?
Gellets are small, colorful, hydrating balls made out of Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP), an all natural, non-toxic, non-irritating, starch-based material. Gellets burst on contact and immediately begin to disintegrate, leaving no stain or gel residual.

What stops the pellets from being under/over expanded and then potentially jamming the blaster?
You’ll want to store your ammo fully submerged in water (which the bucket allows you to do very easily). That keeps them fully hydrated (and full size), then just strain the excess water for play time (can be basically all day). Then when you’re done, simply add water back to the bucket for storage.

How do I add on the $19 Gellet Package?
Just add $19 to your existing pledge. When it comes time to do the surveys, the credited amount will be used to add on the extra Gellets.
Yes, you can multiply the $19 to increase the amount.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
