Thank you for your response Mr. Earl. I don’t exactly believe your instructor. I have crimped many (hundreds if not thousands) blasting caps to primer cord attached to a variety of shaped jet charges installed in perforating guns, packer setting tools and chemical cutters. 99.5% + the results are as desired.
I was not aware that Honeywell never had a failure of any type in their operations with explosive devices. That is a truly commendable record.
