Duct tape's good - but electrical tape is waay better. If you fully jacket your ratshot load, you can get a number of uses before the creme center is entirely dissipated. I must wonder though. How did you stabilize your vectored varmint? Assuming you restrained it in the extended conformation - you would need a high twist rate to achieve aerodynamic stability. With a slingshot, you have no imparted axial rotation, and your squeeky slug would start to tumble within a few feet of leaving the sling. Unless you cheated and balled the critter up by tying its tail around its ears. A squirrel would solve this trouble - they come pre-fletched.
