ok, i have a salvaged schrader valve that i've had lying around for a while and i'm not sure whether or not to use it. When it was salvaged i used a blowtorch to soften the epoxy that was holding it in. originally, i thought it wouldn't work because the blowtorch woould've melted the rubber on the inside but as far as i can tell, it works fine. my main question is, would it hold up at around 120 psi?

You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.

It is definitely worth it, some of them even have a tap and die for schrader valves on them.
It's hard to soar with eagles when you're working with turkeys.

Stores where you buy tools and shraders.
