I'm building a seriously basic gun(first attempt

) and, I need something that can glue/seal hosepipe to metal, and rubber to metal. It's going to be under some pressure, about twice the pressure that comes out of your tap(which is quite high, surprisingly enough).

Any ideas?

What are you trying to do? I don't think that glue would be the thing to do that stuff. It appears that you are trying to attach different types of tube to metal pipe. There's things called tubing barbs and tubing clamps to do that.

I'll get a picture later today if Google image search doesn't help you.

Welcome to Super Soaker Central! Please use complete sentences, punctuation, capitalization, etc. I really don't like posts like that, and soon our new rules will be out as well as the spell check and short form, so the best time to clean up is now.

Duct tapes doesn't seal well under pressure. Sorry, but that would leak like mad and sounds just plain silly to most of us.

I've talked to Neongreen on AIM, and he's solved his problem with a strong glue. Apparently in New Zealand that's how they do it, though I would trust tubing clamps more.

I've actually given up on the super strong glue. I designed another method which is even better.
