If you want good advice, you'll need to be a bit more specific as to exactly what type of cannon of what size operating in what conditions.

Ok. Im making a 6mm piston valve single shot rifle. I will be using a shock pump to pressureise it so it would be around 200 -250 psi.

JB Weld, Araldite, Normal epoxy resin. Most epoxys will work.
I visit occasionally to make unrelated posts.

As above, you can buy JB Weld/Araldite or similar at almost any hardware store. I made this 5.5mm piston valve launcher using basically brass tubes, araldite and masking tape ;)
