Try the Douchenator design, you can find it here:

It's a simple and easy design. If you still need help with it, I'm sure someone here can help you.

EDIT: This is in the wrong section, BTW. It should be in the "Homemade water cannon" forum.

Welcome to Super Soaker Central! Please note that once the forum becomes fully operational again, I won't accept this style of posting any longer. Write correctly and post in the correct forum - this isn't AIM.

In short, you shouldn't use the schrader valve from a bicycle. It won't seal right to begin with, and schrader valves are simply too cheap anyway! Your ruined bicycle tire would cost more (unless it was broken).

Haha All this time I've been wondering where to get a scrader valve....and it could be useful to do it that way if you intended to use the tire for a collosus...

You can get regular schrader valves for less than $3 at a good hardware store. $3! Why damage a bike tire when you can get a new valve for so cheap a price?
