A Mini highlighter/pen spud gun.
This is my first mini spud gun fresh off the line, I have yet to even fire it as the super glue is curing at this point.
First off the images

This is made of 3 basic items:
1 - Bic pen
1 - "Avery Hi-Liter"
1 - Cheap fireplace/grill lighter from ebay (10 for about $10)
The one thing I always see people do is take the sparker out of the lighter making it harder to hold and having to tape it to the gun itself.
my lighter had a nice way of attaching the wire to the bottom silver stub on the sparker so I just left it in there and ran the wires out the top.
Another thing I did for this was used the fuel from the lighter to fuel the cannon. I can set the fuel knob to give a short burst of fuel followed by the spark. The great thing about that is the even rate of fires I can do...no measuring fuel or guessing getting too much or too little....great amount each and every time.
Just thought I would share this little spud gun with everyone.
Thanks,
Dave
