UserID: 281 | Try the Douchenator design, you can find it here: http://soakermedia.sscentral.org/wbl.html 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.

UserID: 1 | 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).

UserID: 75 | 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?
