What Seperates Us (ed: fitting problems)
Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 12:19 pm
As many of you can see, im new here and to the art of Spudgunning. I recently built my first Spud Gun, out of a pill bottle, pen tube, and ignitor. Worked like a charm. My second was a little more, well, it was a little more. It was a basic combustion cannon, 3" combustion chamber (18" long) and 1 1/2" barrel (28" long).
It worked almost perfect, over and over I shot it, until, BLAM! I could'nt feel my wrist for about 5 minutes. The seal on the back where the clean out is had, broke. Blew the whole thing backwards, I got by with a bruise and scraped wrist. But enough on that. The question is, what is the best PVC primer and glue? I used Plumber's Goop, and well, I know its garbage. Or maybe it was my barrel/combustion demensions.
I don't know what it was exactly, cuase the rest of the cannon wont budge without breaking. Maybe I just didnt use enough glue? Someone please confirm the problem for me.
P.S. Sorry, long post, got key happy
