Is there a way to chemically remove the gloss off the PVC?

No like real life paint.. I've already done some work on the pipes so I can't return them. I might as well just make it look like it's cool.

So the general consensus is do not fire it.. That means I'm just gonna paint it to make it look really bad ass. But I'm still wondering if anyone knows of some paint tutorials??

Well I think if you go ahead and build this hybrid with these DWV fittings it should be classed under this rule:

You shouldn't be building this for anything higher then a basic combustion, no propane.

And I know it says for explosive devices fired from a spudgun but there should be a rule for ...

I can live with that.. Where can I find some painting tutorials.

Well like I said they were left over pieces.

How to get propane in? Simple. Unscrew the cap and just stick the torch inside. :lol: Its extremely crude but thats how I've done it for a long time.

9V Battery on the inside to clean it up (like I said). Like I also said, thinking about a switch. If ...

I bought some wrong PVC pipes when I was looking to build a pneumatic, too lazy to return them, so just making it into a semi-hybrid cannon. It's not set up to pressurize the propane, just the air, so at least I'll know it will shoot.

My purpose is just to have a very clean looking gun, with no dry ...

Or you could flare the coupling instead, so you get unlimited tries?

Or, if you cut the barrel short a bit, put a coupling on it in the chamber, then take another piece of pipe and work on flaring that piece. (This is all just incase you're not an expert flarer, it gives you fail safe. 8) )

That makes sense... But then what the hell is open account? lol

Hm.. Well I guess we shall see if/when they show up at the door.

I'm reading the website FAQ of J-B Weld and they say you can add lacquer or paint thinner to it and it will make it less viscous.

If I was rich and had access to a machine shop or something, I'd machine an entire gun out of J-B weld. Look at the strengths on this shit..

Properties (psi)
Tensile ...

Well today when I mixed it up it was like 25 degrees celcius outside. So its pretty hot for where I live (Canada Alberta). But I was inside, so maybe its a bit cooler.. But still nowhere NEAR the pooling capabilities as I'm seeing in these photos. :(

I'll take a photo of my JB Welding and you'll ...

I dunno I usually mix it 50/50.

How did you get your JB Weld to pool so nicely into the port where the Solenoid used to be? Whenever I mix up some JB Weld its really thick. lol

I ordered from McMasters today and chose the payment option "Open Account" not knowing what it was. I don't have access to a credit card at the moment, so when they should up at the door would I be able to pay cash, do you think?
