maybe, you can try it. If that doesnt work, try a thicker pircr of rubber. You can buy a tire innertube for 15 bucks at an auto zone. I know its alot but its pretty big and should last you a number of cannon builds.

this is what it looks like

and while i am writing this, how can i put a picture from the internet on this post rather than putting a link to the pic?

A woopie cushion is designed to hold air so it should work. It should work very similar to an inner tube.

As far as pictures, register with photobucket, go to your album, upload a pic, click on the code provided, then paste it in the post.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, but you might want to try using a few layers because it's really thin.

Ace hard ware usually has a pack of 1/8" and 3/16" thick rubber sheet for gaskets and stuff. works good. But any general almsot any rubber sheet thing should work

Go to a tire shop they should be able to give you some inner tubes for free. Stuff paying $15. Me and my mates when to one and got 6 huge second hand truck innner tubes to go surfing on (dont ask) for free.
Airbeds... so many different uses
