Its up to you. I use pvc piping glue. Most everyone else likes epoxy. Whatever you can get your hands on will be great. BTW which gun are you doing this to?

Glue isnt the biggest issue. Infact, you could pobably get by with super glue if you do it right. (Use epoxy anyways).
This only works if you a have a screw cutter, a dremel an RTX or other roatery tool.
If you are using a totary tool, choose a blade good for cutting metal, and cut the the length of the screw, only a few threads from the head.
This gives you a small amount of a solid in the hole, and a peice to cap it off. Glued on with epoxy, nothings getting through.

Thats how I did my 2100. Work buitifully. If you use a screw though, you can't use PVC cement, since it won't bond with metal.

I used Putty Epoxy on my 1200/2100, the stuff works great, you have you mix up a batch of it though, just roll it around on an old tabletop, then apply it, the stuff drys as hard as a rock. Here's a pic:

The grey stuff is the epoxy.

Where do you get putty Epoxy?

BlueSmudge · Post by **BlueSmudge** » Thu Oct 14, 2004 9:50 pm

I get mine from my local hardware store. A home improvment store might have it. Or even a craft store. Look around.

One question about that?

$$$$$?

BlueSmudge · Post by **BlueSmudge** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 3:32 am

How much money?
No more than $8. Its expensive glue, but what can you do. It lasts a long time.

How big of a container does it come in?

BlueSmudge · Post by **BlueSmudge** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 10:43 pm

Two tubes a little larger than super glue. Putty comes in a 2-3 inch long stick. These things arnt important, just go and buy it yourself. All you questions will be instantly answered!

To what and how many balloons?

DX · Post by DX » Sun Oct 17, 2004 2:49 am

Made another 21000, so now I have 3 [2 work]. I put 80 balloons on it, it seems that 21k's preform better at 80 than 70 and better at 80 than 90, and anything higher isn't worth it. I now only have one reason to go to 80, and that is not for the balloon count but rather so I can pump it all the way to full without the fear of breaking something. Anyway this newest 21000 comes about 5ft. short of my other 2, but has the same shot time and shots per tank. Now all it needs is a paintjob. B)
