does anyone know what baking soda citric acid (solid form) and water will o to pvc when they are mixed together? i know they produce a decent amount of pressure, i mixed them in a water bottle then sealed it and it exploded. im thinking could be a possible power source for a burst disc cannon... but im not sure how quickly it will deteriorate the pvc.

i have no idea, but if it blew up a soda bottle it might just be smart to simply make it out of threaded iron pipe.
