plz can anyboby help me

Just get a bigger pilot valve.

i need to keep the pilot valve 1/4 because of a desgin im making and the blow gun is a major part

Then use a .25" ball valve, a blowgun won't do it.

a blowgun will do it i have proved that.

its will end up being the pilot volume and the seal between the pilot volume and chamber/barrel seal.

Naah. Electrical tape would work much better than duct tape for those purposes. (referring to the picture)

Or you could try modding your blowgun.

i wouldn't use duck tape seeing as it can stick to the pvc somtimes.

i only used it in the pic coz that is what he has been using.
