http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Self-sealing_stem_bolt
As a Star Trek Fan, I was always looking for cool things in the series that I could easily make by myself.
The self-sealing stem bolt was quite easy to make out of cardboard because the geometry is relatively simple.
Materials used:
- cardboard from the back of a spiral notebook
- corrugated cardboard
- white glue
- aluminum tape
- acrylic paint
Tools used:
- pencil
- steel straight edge
- cutter knive
- exacto knive
- compass
- protractor
- computer with vector graphics software and printer for the label

As one of the Trekkers the only thing information I can pass along is.
It's from DSN. As shipment of them ended being bought by Nod and Jake and the original buyer a builder. My guess it was a building material item that connects sections together. I always thought this was an easy and cool prop to build. Never got around to it yet. Great Job there.

in the star trek series, no one really knows what a self-sealing stem bolt is. It's just a gimmick that appears in two or so episodes.
