For those of you who have made potato guns, what has been the most reliable fuels for them ? Ive used butane. hairspray, starter fluid and alcohol thus far.
Hairspray gunks up the threads/inside of the gun.
Butane works ok, but doesnt seem to get the pressures Im looking for. (and its spensive)
alcohol from a spray bottle is ok, but getting the right fuel/air mixture seems a bit tricky
and starting fluid, oh holy jesus does it work, but quite honestly Im a bit worried about the pressure.
So, whats everyone else using for fuel in theirs ?
and if anyone wants Ill take pictures this weekend of my special ammo/tacticlol potato gun in action. and mebbe a write up on how I built it.
