A freind of mine, who is normally very thoughtfull, tried acetylene.
After he got the bleeding stopped and his stomach sewn up he thought maybe the hair spray was the better way to go.
WHOA!! WHOA HERE!!! Acetylene is a lot more exciting then hairspray!! You just need to build the chamber a little heavier! One little secret really helps! I let you in on that later....
When using acetylene for any explosive purpose getting the gas/oxygen mix right can be tricky. Light the torch and adjust it for optimum flame. then tap the torch tip against steel or concrete to extinguish the flame. now you will have properly mixed gases flowing from the tip...
Now for the secret.... Hand the gun to a friend and say," here, try it!!"
Actually, I usually just turned on the oxygen tank only. then put a cutting head on and after the hairspray has been shot into the chamber I would give it 1-3 seconds of oxygen yet... If done correctly the chamber and barrel will glow (done at night) like a chinese lantern when it goes off.... kinda dangerous.... but at one time I was stupid

I was told potatoes were food, not projectiles? Is my upbringing that wrong?
Yup
Gunpowder in a potato gun? Darwin is surely laughing now.
Aquanet never did me wrong and never hurt me.
