A Question Anyone Can Answer: Glues.

[chubster]

I'm about to build my first cannon and the only thing I don't know is how to connect the PVC Pipe. ( pretty important huh ) So I was wondering what kind of glue to buy and any techniques to attaching them.

Also, what are some ways to blocking off certain parts of the PVC?

Thanks

Thanks. What about attaching something like a schrader valve?

The picture with a gauge but a schrader valve is the same idea.

What you need:

2" (or what ever your chamber size is) X 1/2" NPT Bushing
1/2" NPT X 1/4" NPT Adapter
Schrader Valve with 1/4" NPT threads

From there on out it should be self explanatory.

Also try searching or reading the Spud Wiki befor asking questions.

Just tap it through a place where the PVC overlaps. or if you have a rubber one, just drill a 1/2 hole and pull it through.

Where can I get all this stuff? Lowes?
