<div align="center">Sad to say that Right Guard no longer works for combustion cannons. The makers of Right Guard have changed their forumla to something non-flamable. So now people must find other sources of cheap fuel. Check out your local store at their cheap spray deodorants and look for ingredients such as Propane, Hexane, etc. You can always use Axe as well, however it's not exactelly cheap.

RIP

I remember useing Right Guard in my first combustion, but havent since then. I now use the scent-free Oust air sanitizer. It works fine for me and has a fairly decent smell after it burns.

I always use air freshener or butane gas for fule in my cannons. There both really cheap, you can get alot of them at a 99cent store.

some where in some warehouse there sits a hole crap load of the good right gaurd (probly in a third world country) and were (people) not going to find it untill 2015 when the cans will be rusty and the propelent stale and weak!!

i wonder what the spud gun will look like by then?

how good will the valves work?

i'm sure the hybirds will be finely polished and working well

for combustion cannons i use denatured alcohol, can be found at any hardware store, by the acetone. its $5 for a good amount, put it in a spray bottle and make sure you get a good mist, a few sprays will do it.
