Actually, it should do that on it's own as the acetone evaporates away. In lieu of pure acetone, nail polish remover will work too (it's mostly acetone) No, it doesn´t work. I tried to do whit that and it didn´t work. My acetone is 100% pure, i think it is used to remove some kind of glue (my dad u...

Well if the mods said that it is dangerous, must I delete the post? I´m not going to discuss it. I hit the catridge with a metal hammer 4-5 times and It didn´t break. My piston isnt going to run at very high pressure. I will usually pressurize at 85psi, the same as my PVC gun. I only wanted to make ...

No, I take polystyrene (expanded) and pour it in big quantities in a container with some acetone. The plastic "melts" and gets "compressed". So that big quantity of expanded polystyrene became into a much smaller mass, and when it gets dry, it is very very strong. Similar as polycarbonate (which is ...

I´m going to use it at 90-120psi, but I´m going to make the chamber and the barrel longer than the gun shown in the photo.

EDIT: Sorry but could you explain me what the bumper is? Or post a link where it is explained.

The plastic in the photo isnt the piston, is the ammo for my pneumatic rifle. I want to know if this material can be used in a piston.

Or are you telling me to cut the CATRIDGE? I´m new on piston spudguns.

The 20mm pipes are rated to 16bar, but I don´t know the 50mm pipes rating, but it is really thin, I shoot marbles, steel balls and darts... Video: Shooting a steel b...
