End cap troubles

[Infernal Maveric]

Hi all,
I have built myself a good 2m tall cannon. The spark works fine and all, but today, after my first test (shooting it dry) the endcap blew clean off (along with the female part of it) so I was thinking that putting evem MORE epoxy on it as well as a bunch of screws/nuts and bolts to secure it. Would this work, or just tear the bolts/screws clean out of the chamber?
Thanks

You know... you'r not really sopposed to use epoxy. There's a reason for that.

it doesn't hold as tight as pvc glue because pvc glue melts the 2 pieces of pvc together

ah ok, sorry, didn't know that, but hopefully, the srews I put in now will
