burst disk help

I finished everything on my hybrid the other morning at 4:30, the only thing wrong with it is that when i try to put my aluminum foil burst disk in the union it gets cut and the air can go around it. has anyone had this problem?

I have tightened them as much as possible and never had that problem.
I think i understand but Im not sure, so you are saying that when you tighten it the burst disk cuts.
I think your problem is that the disk is too small and wont seal.

Well what I do is get the union on the burst disk material and then trace it then cut it out so you get perfect disk everytime.

Well to get mine right i use some plastic sheet cut to the perfect size so I just hold it in place and cut around it.

But I stopped using my burst disk cannon cause it was annoying to keep changing everytime.

I had the same problem. I bet you didn't cut the aluminum foil disks to shape. Instead of doing that, I opted for another burst disk.

What size is your union?

All these people saying they hate burst disk cannons

Well, I dont hate them, I quite like them, I just hate the reloading

bigbob12345 · Sun Mar 23, 2008 7:59 pm

Well I have to spend a minute pumping them up anyway so I dont mind spending 10sec to change it out.

sorry for the short hijack

elitesniper: Have you seen the QCTBDC? If not, watch it. Gort made the fastest burst disk loader I've ever seen.

Yes hubb I have seen it its like a slide forward breech with and oring around it, but I dont have the tools to make that

I once tried to replicate it
about 30min into my work on it I realized that there is no way that i will be able to build it

A lathe is a nessesity, i didnt even have a dremel back then.

i dont even have a dremel the only tools i use to build my cannon's are drill, hacksaw, wrench,screw driver and scissors.

bigbob12345 · Sun Mar 23, 2008 8:15 pm

Are you saying you dont have a vice, i dont know how I would accomplish anything at all without one.

were drifting off topic

elitesniper · Sun Mar 23, 2008 9:32 pm

I dont have a vise, but ill get one soon.

This goes to show you don't need fancy tools to build cannons
