I am currently building my first WBL. I'm just doing a simple douchenator style launcher, I got it all done except the pressurization point, because I can't seem to find a schrader valve, where would I pick up one of these?
Should I just rip up an old tire innertube, and if so, how do I attach the valve?
If not where do I get it and how is it attached?
(Note, I'm located in albany NY)
Where to get a schrader valve?

Since it sounds like your local Lowes- or The Home Depot-style department store if applicable doesn't have, try a bike store. Either that, or a vehicle maintenance shop. Places like that should have it.
I haven't used one before, but I do imagine that you could take apart an old innertube. If it doesn't have threads, then maybe epoxy or something in a drilled-out hole in PVC would work--not the best solution, but functional.
