Measure twice, cut once. You may want to practice on a scrap piece of pvc before making holes in your chamber. Duct tape won't hold it and holes weaken the chamber. In other words don't mess up.

Leave the screws in to keep the holes sealed up. Get two more screws.

How did you build it? Whats it look like? What kind of fuel? You got a fan in it? Basicly if you feel like bragging about it, feel free.

Dont use hairspray it messes up your chamber pretty much anything is better than hairspray.

It's cheap and easy. You get the BOOM! Hairspray kicks a*s! BOOMs impress people and scare them. It's good to be intimidating. :D
