you should try obtaining pure hydrogen. all you have to do is do electrolysis on water or mix any metal with an acid and put a cover on it. remember though that gases pour upside down. they behave exactly like liquids except upside down and most gases are invisible. hydrogen is extremely explosive though so watch it.
When I moved to MN I immediately met a neighbor who was jealous of my patio location. Third floor directly across from Mall of America. Day after I moved in he moved a small cannon onto my patio and launched from time to time. He used rubbing alcohol and suntan lotion spray and it was loud and crazy. He hit the 'M' on the Macy's sign then started aiming over a highway and I tossed him out.
Lol... Funniest shah. I've read so far... So we already had one made with a marrihawana capsule... Due to stoned sponge minds and heavy weed intake we decided to phuckn play... Excuse my lango. I like ... I mean I LOVE MANGOS... SO ANYWAYS... WE DONT HAVE HAIRSPRAY OR STUFF... CAN WE USE ... FOR SAY CLINQUE HAPPY PERFUME? I WAS THINKING OF COATING THE INNER LAYER OF THE CAPSULE WITH PETROLEUM JELLY THEN SPRAYING.????!!!! STONE
I've noticed that axe gets mentioned a lot and it does do a great sometimes too great I had an experience with it and some oxygen where I used an oxygen tank to blow out my chamber and one very small spray of axe and it literally turned a great gun into dust to this day I have only found 3 very small pieces and one of those pieces came from my nasal cavity after it went through my cheek bone and eventually had come out in my throat Also from my cheek to my jaw had a brand new opening in the form of a flap not to mention how happy my mother was when she had found out all the stucco from our porch was now on the ground so with that just be mindful of everything you test because I absolutely new better but during conversation with a friend I absentmindedly did something that should have killed the both of us without doubt BUT DON'T STOP HAVING FUN JUST LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES WITHOUT MAKING THEM YOURSELF CAUSE I HURT LIKE HELL ¡¡¡
Oxygen acetylene... use a cutting torch get i nice neutral flame and put it out on your boot. Give i i nice 3 to 4 seconds in the chamber. Works real real well you get a nice sonic crack with nothing in the barrel! Also had a real nice big blue flame!
Rubbing alcohol (ethanol) is cheap and works well, BUT buy the 90 or 91% (not the 70%). About 4 spritzes from an atomizer bottle will launch a 2" plug more than 100 yards. ALSO: Warming up your potato gun before you fire it helps vaporize whatever you spray into it. With the endcap off, I spray 3-4 spritzes into the combustion chamber and light it with a match. When it burns off, the chamber is warm and you're ready to load and launch.
A friend of mine uses that spray-air freshener crap. Double purpose: Makes one good boom, and keeps the gun smelling like cheap flowers (overspray down the side)
rickman has it! engine starting fluid = diethyl ether. go for the premium grade starting fluid, as it is 40-60% diethyl ether, whereas the regular grade is about 20-35%. its about 3 bucks a can

Don't try hairspray. It doesn't expand fast enough.

I would try carb cleaner or starting fluid available at any auto parts store. You get a lot of bang for your buck.
